Perioperative · randomised trial
Robotic-assisted TKA was associated with lower serum C‑reactive protein levels. No difference was found in the length of hospitalization and erythropoietic function in serum. Although the surgical execution of conventional TKA was…
Trauma · meta-analysis
This effect in the highest BMI categories was of greater magnitude in men than women. These results will inform the second iteration of FRAX®.
Hip & knee · study
Patients with preoperative flexion contracture ≥ 10° achieved comparable mid‐term outcomes and early survivorship to those without contracture following robotic‐assisted TKA using FA. These findings support FA as a reliable strategy to…
Upper limb · systematic review and meta-analysis
However, further research is necessary due to observed heterogeneity and study biases. Future efforts should focus on incorporating PRP into clinical practice and guidelines.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains…
Upper limb · study
Second metacarpal cortical percentage is a useful clinical tool in predicting distal radius fracture instability. Clinicians can use 2MCP both in guiding decision-making when selecting patients who may benefit from operative management and…

3D-printed titanium cages for ALIF and LLIF result in excellent fusion rates at one year postoperatively without the use of rhBMP-2.
Trauma · randomised trial
This study demonstrates that a perioperative anti-inflammatory bundle significantly reduces the prevalence of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, without major side effects. Systemic inflammation…

In conclusion, osteoarthritis knee represents a formidable threat to global public health, necessitating the development of proactive and tailored strategic interventions that account for global-specific contexts. Key Points• Females and…
Sports · systematic review
Most patients returned to their pre-injury level of sport after a mean of 6 months. LET-based ACL reconstruction may be associated with greater clinical outcomes and a higher reoperation rate compared to ALL-based reconstruction.
Rotator cuff, instability, arthroplasty of the shoulder and elbow, and the hand and wrist.
Joint replacement, preservation and revision of the hip and knee.
Fracture care from the emergency department to rehabilitation, including fragility fractures.
Degenerative, deformity and trauma surgery of the spine.
Ligament, tendon and cartilage injury, return to sport and the injured athlete.
Anaesthesia, analgesia, infection, thromboprophylaxis and recovery around orthopaedic surgery.
