Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes, complications rates, rates and reasons of re-revision of isolated femoral or tibial component revisions, comparing them with total knee revisions.

Methods: A review of the published literature was performed using Medline, Embase and Cochrane libraries. The terms "isolate" and "revision" and "knee arthroplasty" or "knee replacement" were together used as MESH terms. Partial knee replacement, non-English literature, case reports and papers published before 2000 were excluded.

Results: Out of 911 papers, six papers met the inclusion criteria. Mean MINORS scores achieved quite low values (13.33 and 13.67). No study encompassed revisions for septic loosening or infection. Total revisions performed for instability and wear achieved better clinical outcomes: in the other cases, partial and total revisions showed no differences in clinical outcomes. Both the cohorts showed similar radiographic features. Lesser bleeding and shorter operative times were observed in partial revisions compared to total revisions. The re-revision rates were similar in most of comparative studies: only one study noticed a significant difference in the failure rate between partial (25% at 3 years) and full (7% at 3.5 years) revisions.

Conclusions: The poor quality of the studies precluded sound conclusions. Isolated tibial or femoral component revision is an option when the other component is well-fixed and positioned and in absence of chronic periprosthetic infection; nevertheless, it should be carefully evaluated when the reasons for revision are wear or instability.

Background: In this study, we estimated the risk of surgically treated postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (POPFFs) associated with femoral implants frequently used for total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods: In this cohort study of patients who underwent primary THA in England between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, POPFFs were identified from prospectively collected revision records and national hospital records. POPFF incidence rates, adjusting for potential confounders, were estimated for common stems.

Unicoronal synostosis is a rare condition leading to anterior plagiocephaly with facial scoliosis and deformation of the anterior cranial fossa. Fronto-orbital advancement and remodelling (FOAR) is the standard of care for management, aiming to normalise the brow shape and position while ameliorating the risk of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) throughout childhood. Published long-term surgical outcome data for unicoronal synostosis is lacking.

Background The increasing workload of radiologists can lead to burnout and errors in radiology reports. Large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, hold promise as error revision tools for radiology. Purpose To test the feasibility of GPT-4 use by determining its error detection, reasoning, and revision performance on head CT reports with varying error types and to validate its clinical utility by comparison with human readers.

Objective: To analyze data from patient information forms (PIFs) submitted to the manufacturer of a new 3-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP), the Rigicon Infla10® , to summarize interim outcomes of 250 implantations in a single center, which is the largest series in Türkiye.

Methods: A retrospective review of PIFs from 250 patients implanted with the IPP between January 2021 and December 2023 was performed to assess patient characteristics, surgical data, device durability, patient satisfaction, and rates of reoperation for any reason.

Results: The mean ± SD (range) follow-up was 21.

Background: The importance of the subscapularis for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated, especially for internal rotation and stability. In a deltopectoral approach, a detachment of the subscapularis is performed (tenotomy, tuberosity peeling, or osteotomy), but the tendon is not always repairable at the end. When it is repaired, healing is obtained in only 40%-76% of the cases, with potential consequences for the outcomes.
