Preoperative clinical and imaging factors associated with arthroscopically confirmed occult syndesmotic instability in patients undergoing surgery for osteochondral lesions of the talus
Aims: Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs) are common ankle disorders. Recent clinical observations suggest that a subset of patients with OLTs also exhibit occult syndesmotic instability (OSI) intraoperatively, implying a potential...

From bowing to fracture
Aims: Congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia represents the prefracture stage of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. However, specific radiological factors which are predictive of fracture remain poorly defined. The aim of this...

Higher femoral periprosthetic fracture rate with dual-mobility compared with single-mobility total hip arthroplasty
Aims: Dual-mobility implants have reduced dislocation rates in total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly in high-risk populations. However, under conditions of high stress, such as a fall or forced range of motion, the energy that would...

Diaphyseal zonal fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty
The concept of zonal fixation for the distal femur and proximal tibia has revolutionized our understanding of how to best achieve durable fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty. However, the diaphyseal zone covers most of the femur...

The impact of changing Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee classification on early functional outcomes after primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty
Aims: We aimed to determine the impact of changing a patient’s Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) phenotype on early functional outcomes after robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA). Methods: We conducted a retrospecti...

New guidelines for the prevention of periprosthetic joint infection
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains one of the most serious complications of arthroplasty. Since the publication of major guidelines, several aspects of the prevention of PJI have been refined, although high-quality evidence rem...

Ten-year insert wear and the migration of uncemented tibial and femoral components with either conventional polyethylene or sequentially annealed highly crosslinked polyethylene: a blinded randomized controlled trial using radiostereometric analysis
Aims: The aims of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to compare the long-term insert wear and migration of the tibial and femoral components between highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts and conventional polyethylene (P...
