Purpose: The aim of this prospective randomised controlled study was to compare wear characteristics and functional outcome between deep-dished mobile bearing (MB) and fixed bearing (FB) cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesised that deep-dished MB reduces polyethylene wear and improves patient-reported outcome measures.

Methods: A total of 50 patients were randomised to receive a MB or FB tibia component of the same cemented TKA design. Patients were evaluated over a 5-year follow-up period. Medial and lateral wear were assessed using model-based Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA) and compared with the direct postoperative minimal joint space measurement. Functional outcome was assessed by the clinician-derived KSS and OKS, WOMAC, LEAS, and FJS-12. All data were derived using a general linear mixed model.

Results: At 5-year follow-up, decreased wear in the MB compared to the FB group was observed on the lateral side (0.07 ± 0.17 mm, p = 0.026), but not on the medial side (0.31 ± 0.055 mm, p = 0.665). Functional outcomes improved with a statistical significant effect over time, with no significant differences between groups (all p > 0.17).

Conclusion: This model-based RSA study with 5-year follow-up showed that cemented deep-dished MB reduced lateral polyethylene wear as compared to FB in a single TKA system, whilst clinical outcomes were comparable. Longer follow-up is needed to establish clinical implications of these altered wear patterns and determine type of wear.

Level Of Evidence: Level 1 randomised controlled trial.

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting 40,000 births annually in the United States. Despite advances in medical care, CHD is often a chronic condition requiring continuous management and education. Effective care management depends on children's understanding of their condition.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the incidence of radiological adjacent segment disease (R-ASD) at L3/4 between patients with L4/5 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) who underwent L4/5 posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and those who underwent microscopic bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach (MBDU) at L4/5. Our ultimate goal was to distinguish the course of natural lumbar degeneration from fusion-related degeneration while eliminating L4/5 decompression as a confounder.

Methods: Ninety patients with L4/5 DS who underwent L4/5 PLIF (n = 53) or MBDU (n = 37) and were followed for at least 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.

Objectives: The objective of the investigation is to examine the long term efficacy, safety, and predictability of ICL-V4c implantation for high and super-high myopic patients in order to provide reliable guidance for the selection of refractive surgical procedures.

Methods: We reviewed 125 eyes from 64 patients who implanted ICL-V4c at the Refractive Surgery Center of West China Hospital in Chengdu, China, between May 2015 and January 2017. These eyes were divided into two groups based on their preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) degree: high myopia (≥ -10D) and super-high myopia groups (< -10D).

Background: Anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy is the gold standard in high-risk breast cancer (BC), despite the potential risk of congestive heart failure (CHF). A suitable alternative for anthracycline-sparing chemotherapy is through the combination of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC).

Methods: Through a retrospective study of stage I-III HER2-negative BC, using administrative databases, we analyzed a total of 10,634 women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy in Ontario, Canada, between 2009 and 2017.
