The study included 198 consecutive patients who received 214 primary monoblock acetabular components with an LDH ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearing between March 2012 and December 2013. We collected Harris hip scores (HHS), Oxford hip scores (OHS), EuroQoL-5D scores (EQ-5D), and conducted radiographic evaluations. Seven patients (3.5%) died for reasons unrelated to the intervention. A single patient (0.3%) underwent cup revision due to recurrent dislocation from trauma. Another patient needed cup revision six years post-surgery due to squeaking. Mean follow-up time was 36.2 ± 27.9 months. Kaplan-Meier survivorship rate at 96 months for any component loosening was 100%, and the cup revision survivorship rate for any reason was 96.8% (95% CI, 87.8-99.5%). At final follow-up, mean HHS was 93.6 ± 9.9, OHS was 16.2 ± 5.9, and EQ-5D was 0.94 ± 0.09. LDH CoC THA using a monoblock cup yielded excellent medium-term functional outcomes.

Interestingly patients who had the index surgery at a younger age had a higher risk of further surgery, with acetabular osteotomy being the most common secondary procedure.

This prospective study included thirty-two patients treated for primary knee osteoarthritis and assigned to two matched groups for their demographic characteristics and comorbidities. Those with functioning cruciate ligaments received bi- cruciate retaining prostheses. In the case of ligaments' insufficiency, the posterior-stabilised design was selected. The primary outcome was knee flexion, and secondary outcomes included the patient's reported outcomes as recorded by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, treatment- related complications, and surgical time.

The Skeletal Oncology Research Group (SORG) machine learning algorithm (MLA) has been previously developed and internally validated to predict 90-day and 1-year survival. External validation showed promise in the United States and Taiwan. To ensure global generalizability, the algorithm remains to be validated in Europe. We therefore asked: does the SORG-MLA for long-bone metastases accurately predict 90-day and 1-year survival in a European cohort? One-hundred seventy-four patients undergoing surgery for long-bone metastases between 1997-2019 were included at a tertiary referral Orthopaedic Oncology Center in the Netherlands. Model performance measures included discrimination, calibration, overall performance, and decision curve analysis. The SORG-MLA retained reasonable discriminative ability, showing an area under the curve of 0.73 for 90-day mortality and 0.77 for 1-year mortality. However, the calibration analysis demonstrated overestimation of European patients' 90- day mortality (calibration intercept -0.54, slope 0.60). For 1-year mortality (calibration intercept 0.01, slope 0.60) this was not the case. The Brier score predictions were lower than their respective null model (0.13 versus 0.14 for 90-day; 0.20 versus 0.25 for 1-year), suggesting good overall performance of the SORG-MLA for both timepoints. The SORG-MLA showed promise in predicting survival of patients with extremity metastatic disease.

We have attempted to provide an evidence-based medicine protocol for the conservative treatment of KOA. Researchers collected and compared randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that used microfragmented adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma to treat knee osteoarthritis. We searched CNKI, Wanfang Database, CMJD, PubMed, Sinomed, Cochrane Library, and Embase for studies published up to May 31, 2023. Two investigators independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed bias risk using the Cochrane bias risk tool. The researchers then performed a meta-analysis using Revman 5.4 statistics software provided by the Cochrane Library. A total of 4 randomized controlled trials involving 266 patients (326 knees) were included. There were 161 knees in the MFAT group and 165 knees in the PRP group. Meta-analysis showed a statistically significant difference in VAS scores between the MFAT group and the PRP group at 12 months after treatment [MD=0.99, 95% CI (0.31, 1.67), P=0.004]. This result showed that VAS scores were lower in the PRP group than in the MFAT group, and that PRP injection reduced pain more effectively than MFAT injection. At 6 months after treatment, Tegner activity scale scores in the MFAT group were higher than that in the PRP group [MD=0.65, 95% CI (0.11, 1.19), P=0.02], and the difference was statistically significant. There were no significant differences in the remaining indicators between the two groups. Based on this meta-analysis, PRP appears to be more effective than MFAT in treating KOA in terms of long-term pain relief. However, MFAT was superior to PRP in improving short-term activity function. Overall, there was no significant difference between MFAT and PRP in the treatment of KOA. In addition, MFAT does not increase the risk of adverse events compared to PRP.

With a rising incidence in an aging population, controversy surrounds surgical versus nonoperative treatments, particularly for displaced 3- and 4-part fractures in older patients. Locking plates (LP) and proximal intramedullary nails (PHN) are primary choices for surgical intervention, but both methods entail complications. This retrospective study of 132 patients undergoing surgery for PHF (LP or PHN) aims to identify risk factors for postoperative complications. Results reveal a 31% complication rate, including secondary loss of reduction (17%) and intra-articular screw penetration (13%). Alcohol abuse emerges as the sole patient characteristic linked to complications. Non-anatomical surgical reduction, calcar comminution, and humeral shaft displacement over 10 mm also contribute to increased risks. LP and PHN show comparable complication rates, aligning with existing literature. The study underscores the pivotal role of achieving anatomical surgical reduction in minimizing complications. Surgical technique, fracture pattern, and patient characteristics significantly influence outcomes. Notably, alcohol abuse surfaces as a critical risk factor. The findings emphasize the importance of a nuanced approach to PHF management, tailoring interventions based on fracture characteristics and patient factors.
