Induction of Labor in an Intubated Patient With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Background: In the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, to date, delivery of critically ill pregnant patients has predominantly been by cesarean.

Case: A 27-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to a 166-bed community hospital at 33 weeks of gestation with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19. She underwent mechanical ventilation for 9 days.

Survivorship and patient satisfaction of robotic-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty at a minimum two-year follow-up.

Background: Successful clinical outcomes following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) depend on lower limb alignment, soft tissue balance and component positioning, which can be difficult to control using manual instrumentation. Although robotic-assisted surgery more reliably controls these surgical factors, studies assessing outcomes of robotic-assisted UKA are lacking. Therefore, a prospective multicenter study was performed to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted UKA.

Patellofemoral joint replacement, an evolving concept.

Isolated patellofemoral arthritis is a rare disease, whose management is challenging and controversial. Patellofemoral joint replacement can be an effective treatment for this condition. The very concept of a patellofemoral implant has evolved throughout the years, resulting in more anatomic designs and reproducible surgical techniques.
