Achieving quadriceps strength within the distribution of older adults without knee OA following TKA is associated with clinically meaningful differences in satisfaction and functional activities. #Osteoarthritis #Arthroplasty #Knee #Quadriceps #Muscle #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/9CHK50YEZ7I

TKA is a durable and reliable option for primary osteonecrosis at long-term follow-up, although TKAs performed for secondary osteonecrosis carry a higher reoperation risk. #TKA #TotalKneeArthroplasty #KneeReplacement ow.ly/9Shg50YFxTY

The authors aimed to develop and validate a simplified clinical risk score, the Suspected Cauda Equina Syndrome Score (SuCCESS), based on interpretable and routinely collected variables. #CaudaEquinaSyndrome #Spine #MedSky #OrthoSky ow.ly/CuQk50YuQ4T

Last month's most downloaded #BJJ paper sought to evaluate whether loss of reduction in lateral Kirschner (K)-wiring is noninferior to crossed K-wiring in closed reduction and percutaneous pinning of Type III supracondylar humerus fractures. #Fracture #MedSky #OrthoSky ow.ly/z6lB50Yz4AU

Nonoperative treatments have proven highly effective for managing MAT, often serving as the primary approach, as approximately 75% of patients experience spontaneous resolution of the condition. #Achilles #Tendinopathy #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/jtBI50Ytv0J

While most contemporary cement types have comparable revision rates, five were associated with a significantly higher rate of revision. Outcome monitoring for bone cement warrants scrutiny just like implant components. #BoneCement #Orthopedics #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/Ni1t50YxFWu

The aim of this study was to report the long-term patient-reported outcomes of unstable ankle fractures with a posterior malleolus fracture and without. #PROMs #AnkleFracture #Trauma #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/MXlE50YtopV

ORIF combined with subtalar arthrodesis provided good rates of subtalar union and good functional outcomes, with results similar or better than those following ORIF alone or delayed arthrodesis. #ORIF #Arthrodesis #Fracture #Trauma #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/2UwR50Ytsgt

In this month’s busy issue of The Bone & Joint Journal, we have a collection of foot and ankle research studies, with 11 papers spanning the specialty. #Foot #Ankle #BJJ #Orthopedics #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/1sXP50YlNXM

In last month's most downloaded #BJJ paper, the authors report that surgery within 24 to 48 hours after hip fracture in older people is associated with better clinical outcomes and improved patient-reported outcomes. #Surgery #HipFracture #PROMs #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/QwKj50YiblH

PTS designs are widely used in cemented hip hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular native hip fractures, though concerns persist regarding the association with higher postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture risk. #Hemiarthroplasty #Fracture #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/VEH550YbLTP

Patients without recurrence were generally older, had shorter delay from the initial instability event, fewer preoperative instability events, and larger glenoid bone fragment for incorporation in the repair. #Bone #BoneLoss #CTScan #Orthopedics ow.ly/2ckt50YbIRY

While both their surgical and medical management have advanced tremendously in recent decades, several aspects of the use of arthroplasty in patients with a hip fracture remain controversial. #Arthroplasty #HipFracture #BJJ #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/rQct50Y9aA0

While challenges remain, particularly in complex cases, the prognosis for patients undergoing revision for failed CMC surgery of the thumb is favourable overall. #CMCArthroplasty #Thumb #Arthritis #Orthopedics #Ortho ow.ly/GeHR50Y9bnL

Oedema tail is associated with aggressive infiltrative tumours; 26% of them had tumour cells that would remain if we resected the tumour with a wide R0 margin, even with preoperative radiation. #Tumour #Oedema #Sarcoma #Oncology #Orthopedics #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/HyLM50XXY6T

3D-printed models help diagnose complex elbow fracture patterns. If printing time is reduced and reusable materials are used, the models can be of added value to standard practice. #Elbow #Fracture #Trauma #Surgeon #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/nYL150Y1egL

SWIFFT was a pragmatic, parallel-group, multicentre, open-label, two-arm, randomized superiority trial. This longer-term evidence confirms consolidation of the proportion of bony bridging, and the increasing #arthritis impact of #injury on joints. #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/yqpA50XXb5w

Non-responders of routinely collected PROM scores in hip and knee arthroplasty had significantly increased mortality and significantly worse baseline scores despite similar demographics and revision risk. #PROMs #Arthroplasty #Surgery #MedSky #OrthoSky ow.ly/5Jm350XVXX5

Peroneus longus tendon harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can cause subtle but measurable alterations in gait biomechanics, particularly affecting single-leg support time. #Tendon #Ligament #Biomechanics #Surgery #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/jXop50XW0yN

👀What got you talking last month? Collared fully HA-coated stems may be an effective option for patients with a high postop periprosthetic femoral fracture risk. This design potentially overcomes one of the limitations of cementless stems and offers a safer THA option. #OrthoSky ow.ly/YXwN50XsV0B

The METRO cohort study is a prospectively designed multicentre study recruiting from eight centres across the UK. #Meniscus #Injury #Knee #Surgery #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/WlU850XnTmI

Compared to isolated root repair, root centralization procedures can result in significant improvement in clinical scores and medial meniscal extrusion, but the benefits appear dependent on the surgical technique. #Meniscus #Surgery #Ortho #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/k4Fm50XmpY9

"Why should the prospect of a female orthopaedic surgeon be something [a patient] had not expected?" In 2020, 64% of students accepted to a UK medical school were female but only 7% of orthopaedic consultants were female. #WomenInSurgery #OrthoSky #MedSky ow.ly/Jha250XmkPv
