Comparison of postoperative isokinetic quadriceps and gluteal muscular strength after primary THA: is there an early benefit through enhanced recovery programs?

Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is expected to result in a postoperative loss of muscular strength, no study investigated the benefit of an enhanced-recovery-after-surgery (ERAS) concept on the hip muscl...

A practical guide to the implementation of AI in orthopaedic research – part 1: opportunities in clinical application and overcoming existing challenges

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform medical research by improving disease diagnosis, clinical decision-making, and outcome prediction. Despite the rapid adoption of AI and machine learn...

Autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue injection provides significant and prolonged clinical improvement in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a case-series study

Among the conservative strategies to manage patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA), an innovative approach exploiting the regenerative capability of adipose tissue and its resident MSCs (Mesenchyma...

A new tibial insert design with ball-in-socket medial conformity and posterior cruciate ligament retention closely restores native knee tibial rotation after unrestricted kinematic alignment

In total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention, the medial and lateral insert conformity that restores in vivo native (i.e., healthy) knee tibial rotation and high function w...

Unrestricted kinematic alignment corrects fixed flexion contracture in robotically aligned total knees without raising the joint line in extension

Mechanically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty (MA TKA) typically addresses fixed flexion contractures (FFC) by raising the joint line during extension. However, in unrestricted Kinematically Aligned TKA (KA TKA...

Distal Kaplan fibers and anterolateral ligament injuries are associated with greater intra-articular internal tibial rotation in ACL-deficient knees based on magnetic resonance imaging

The purpose of the present study was to assess the internal rotation of the tibia on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in a series of consecutive athletes with Anterior cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears.

Intra-articular injections in sport-active patients with degenerative cartilage lesions or osteoarthritis of the knee: a systematic review

The aim of this systematic review was to analyse the available clinical evidence on intra-articular knee injections for the treatment of degenerative cartilage lesions and osteoarthritis (OA) in sport-active p...

Changes in tibial cortical dimensions and density associated with long-term locking plate fixation in goats

Cortical porosis, secondary to either vascular injury or stress-shielding, is a comorbidity of fracture fixation using compression bone plating. Locking plate constructs have unique mechanics of load transmiss...

Local adiposity may be a more reliable predictor for infection than body mass index following total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review

Improved understanding of the factors that predispose TKA patients to infection has considerable economic and medical impact. BMI is commonly used as a proxy for obesity to determine the risk of postoperative ...

The ligamentum mucosum’s potential as a preventative structure in the development of knee osteoarthritis

This paper aimed to identify whether the presence, type, and/or morphology of the ligamentum mucosum could play a role in the development of knee osteoarthritis. Since its microscopic structure is alike that o...

Increased ACL direct insertion coverage provided more positive biomechanical effects on graft and bone tunnel during knee flexion: a simulation study

Flattened femoral tunnels were recently applied in anatomical single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Little is known about the biomechanical effect of such changes during knee flexion. ...

Diminazene aceturate or losartan ameliorates the functional, radiological and histopathological alterations in knee osteoarthritis rodent model: repurposing of the ACE2/Ang1-7/MasR cascade

Current therapies for osteoarthritis (OA) are limited to analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Considering the importance of oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators in OA etiology, we tested the hypothes...

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound irradiation attenuates collagen degradation of articular cartilage in early osteoarthritis-like model mice

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a combination of degeneration and destruction of articular cartilage due to mechanical stress, secondary synovitis, and bone remodelling. In recent years, early knee OA, a preliminary st...

Outcomes of management of primary benign aggressive or malignant bone tumors around the elbow by limb-salvage surgery

Bone tumors around the elbow are rare, with frequently delayed diagnosis. The current study aimed to assess the functional and oncological outcomes of limb salvage surgery for primary benign aggressive or mali...

Specific types of femoral head fractures: be alert for pre-, intra-, and post-operative ipsilateral femoral neck fractures following fracture-dislocation of the femoral head

Ipsilateral femoral head and neck fractures (iFHNFs) are rare types of fractures that confer extremely poor prognosis among femoral head fractures (FHFs). Owing to the rarity of FHFs, it is challenging to diag...

Interference screws manufactured from magnesium display similar primary stability for soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament graft fixation compared to a biocomposite material – a biomechanical study

Biodegradable interference screws (IFS) can be manufactured from different biomaterials. Magnesium was previously shown to possess osteoinductive properties, making it a promising material to promote graft-bon...

Stem cells for the treatment of early to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee: a systematic review

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) present a valuable treatment option for knee osteoarthritis with promising results. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review the clinical and functional outco...

ESSKA consensus initiative: why, when and how?

The goal of a Consensus in clinical practice is to provide daily practitioners with evidence- based recommendations on data from the literature, clinical expertise and expectations of professionals and patient...
