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
