In 3,531 hip arthroscopies for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) from the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry, higher cumulative surgeon volume was associated with greater 12-month iHOT-12 improvement. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70573 #Hip #KSSTA

An accurate alignment target alone does not guarantee a successful knee osteotomy. But how to do it right? #Knee #Osteotomy #Alignment #JointPreservation #KSSTA #currentconcepts Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70492

Only 23.9% of 134 rTKA studies from the top 50 orthopedic journals fully reported their surgical technique. Consequently, the authors propose a reporting framework to improve reproducibility in robotic knee replacement research. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70331

Targeting about 3° of varus for the tibial cut in Oxford mobile-bearing UKA lowered intraoperative bearing impingement against the tibial vertical wall from 37.2% to 15.6% of knees without increasing bearing separation. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70295

In 300 revision arthroplasties, point-of-care IL-6 reached an AUC of 0.83, and combining it with D-dimer raised diagnostic accuracy to an AUC of 0.92, approaching laboratory-based IL-6 (AUC 0.94) at a fraction of the cost of alpha-defensin. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70289

What do we know about robotic arm-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty? This review summarizes the current state of the research. #Patellofemoral #Arthroplasty #RoboticSurgery #Knee #SystematicReview #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70301

Cartilage repaired with spheroid-based matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation plus autologous bone grafting reached an average thickness of 3.4 mm with T2 relaxation times in the physiological range after a mean follow-up of 3.7 years.  Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70091

Do you need full-length lateral lower-leg radiographs when considering slope-reducing osteotomy? #PosteriorTibialSlope #KneeOsteotomy #ACLRevision #radiology #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.7009

A smaller tibial tunnel angle, more anterior tibial tunnel placement, a steeper lateral tibial plateau slope, and a higher lateral femoral condyle index were independently associated with graft rerupture in a matched comparison. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70119

When should an increased posterior tibial slope be corrected in ACL deficiency? The German Knee Society Osteotomy Committee has compiled the most up-to-date recommendations. #knee #ACL #PosteriorTibialSlope #Osteotomy #Knie #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70549

In 360 meniscus allograft transplantations with a mean follow-up of 8.8 years, female patients who received a meniscus from a male donor had a graft failure rate of 38.9%, compared with 7% to 9% across other donor-recipient sex combinations. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70106

Can ligament-guided balancing help preserve physiological gait after TKA? #knee #AugmentedReality #arthroplasty #GaitAnalysis #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70312

Deep learning can automate key orthopedic radiograph measurements, including hip dysplasia angles, hip-knee-ankle alignment, and knee osteoarthritis grading with expert-level agreement and far shorter reading times. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70429 #AI #KSSTA

Functional alignment in robotic-assisted TKA achieved consistently high patient-reported outcomes at a mean follow-up of 2.5 years in a systematic review and meta-analysis with KSS Knee scores of 92.4 to 94.5 and FJS of 74.8 to 77.5. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70226

Preserving both cruciate ligaments in total knee arthroplasty may bring patients closer to the "forgotten knee": at 5 years, bi-cruciate retaining TKA achieved better FJS, WOMAC, and pain scores than matched CR-TKA. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70287

Conversion from UKA to TKA showed no significant difference in periprosthetic joint infection rates compared with primary TKA (0.66% vs. 0.70%) in a meta-analysis of six studies and 1,175 patients. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70228

In a randomized, triple-blinded trial of 72 patients at high risk of venous thromboembolism undergoing ACL reconstruction, fondaparinux sodium produced lower D-dimer levels than enoxaparin on postoperative days 3, 7, and 13. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70081

Peroneus longus tendon harvest for ACL reconstruction preserves ankle function remarkably well, with pooled AOFAS scores staying above 96 out of 100 from 6 months through 2 years across more than 1,000 patients in 20 studies. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70079 #Knee #KSSTA
