Background: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been implicated in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development and progression. Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D and osteoporosis in KOA is widely reported in Indian population. However, there is no attempt to critically evaluate the outcome of these studies. We aimed a systematic review of these studies.
Methods: Pubmed, Google Scholar and Web of Science last updated March 2023, were searched. We reviewed eligible studies on the association between KOA and vitamin D levels in Indian and Asian population for comparison. The mean difference (MD) of vitamin D levels and odds ratio (OR) of vitamin D status were calculated. Data were interpreted by RevMan 5.4 software. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.
Results: A total of 15 studies that involved 1503 KOA cases and 1609 controls were included. There was significantly reduced level of vitamin D in KOA (MD -8.68 ng/mL, 95%CI -12.21 to -5.15; P = <0.00001, I = 82 %) in Indian population. Similarly, in other Asian population significantly reduced vitamin D levels in KOA (MD 18.36 ng/mL, 95%CI -34.72 to -2.00; P = <0.00001, I = 100 %) was observed in KOA. VDD was found to be positively correlated with an increased risk of KOA.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and management of VDD may provide the opportunity to delay the ongoing degenerative process of KOA and this study indicates the importance of screening VDD even in sunlight rich regions.

Background: Although there is a known correlation between obesity and revision risk following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of denying TKA solely based on the body mass index (BMI) of a patient. Our aim was to determine whether a patient's American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class predicts their risks of early all-cause revision and revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary TKA, independent of their BMI.
Methods: Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were obtained regarding all patients who underwent primary TKA for osteoarthritis in Australia from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of using a lateral wedge insole (LWI) during the first 3 months after medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) repair.
Methods: Overall, 179 patients were categorized into LWI use (LWI group, 90 patients) and nonuse (control group, 89 patients) groups. Patients in the LWI group were instructed to wear an LWI from the initiation of load bearing up to 3 months postoperatively.

Purpose: Tibial valgus osteotomy has shown to be a successful and cost-effective procedure. The advent of image processing and three-dimensional (3D) printing is an interesting tool for achieving more accurate and reproducible results. The aim of our study was to compare the accuracy of the conventional technique and the use of customized guides in the correction of tibial deformities in tibial varus patients, the surgical and clinical benefits, and the impact of treatment in the outpatient setting.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major source of chronic pain and disability, representing a significant global health concern that affects 10-15 % of individuals aged over 60, with a higher prevalence among females than males. This investigation aimed to evaluate the impact of a dietary supplement containing collagen peptides (MW 1-3 kDa) on knee OA symptoms and inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Adults aged 30-81 years (50 % female) with grade II or III OA and a minimum pain score of 40 on the 0 to 100 visual analogue scale (VAS) were enrolled.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common condition of the hip that can cause significant damage to the joint, leading to degeneration and osteoarthritis. FAIS constitutes an abnormal and dynamic contact between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabular rim, resulting from altered bone morphology at one or both sites. Repetitive trauma at the site of impingement generates progressive damage to the acetabular labrum, chondrolabral junction, and articular cartilage.
