Background: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a viable alternative to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis patients with single-compartment involvement, with advantages including accelerated recovery, reduced pain, and improved function. Robotic-assisted UKA (rUKA) is a promising development that ensures precise implant positioning and limb alignment. However, concerns about complications remain.
Objective: This study looks at patient satisfaction as a key metric for determining the efficacy of rUKA versus manual UKA (mUKA).
Methods: The search strategy for this study followed PRISMA. Using precise keywords, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library were searched. English articles were searched until August 2, 2023. Selection criteria included mUKA and rUKA patient satisfaction studies. The NOS scale evaluated study quality. Meta-analysis was done with R and heterogeneity analysis.
Results: This systematic review examined 5 studies with 1060 UKAs (532 robotic-assisted and 528 manual). Variable satisfaction assessment methods were used. Three studies found no difference in patient satisfaction after robotic-assisted UKA, but two found a higher satisfaction. Meta-analysis showed robotic-assisted UKA improved patient satisfaction (OR = 1.72 [1.25-2.37]). Overall, most studies showed low risk of bias, except one with higher bias.
Conclusion: This review suggests that robotic assistance may enhance patient satisfaction in UKA procedures.

Objectives: Telehealth may offer a cost-effective, accessible and convenient healthcare service model; however, the acceptability, safety and perceptions of telehealth delivered lifestyle interventions in those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is unknown.
Design: This was a mixed-methods evaluation of a telehealth delivered 12-week exercise, dietary support and behavioural change programme (Tele-ProEx).
Setting And Participants: 12 adults receiving the intervention (47-77 years) with NAFLD living in Australia.

Objective: To assess whether patient experience is better for patients followed in a primary care team (PCT) than for patients with traditional follow-up in usual care.
Design: A cross-sectional survey based on a self-administered questionnaire.
Setting: Pays de la Loire geographical area (located on the French west coast).
Background: Reports of equivalent patient reported outcomes between anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) have contributed to a continued preference of rTSA. While many surgeons believe the best aTSA outcome can outperform the best rTSA outcome, this has not yet been demonstrated in the literature. The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcome characteristics of aTSA and rTSA patients who perceive their shoulder is close to normal, with the hypothesis that aTSA patients will outperform rTSA patients.

Introduction: Ankle sprains, one of the most frequent accidental injuries in traumatology, can lead to chronic instability. Although arthroscopic anatomic ankle ligament reconstruction seems to provide good results, very few studies have specifically examined the outcomes of this procedure. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the rate of and delay to return to sport (RTS) at the preinjury level after anatomic ligament reconstruction and the predictive factors of a RTS in an athletic population.
