Randomized Controlled Trial
The efficacy and safety of two low-dose peri-operative dexamethasone on pain and recovery following total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.
To evalute the efficacy and safety of two low-dose peri-operative dexamethasone on pain and recovery following total hip arthroplasty (THA). ⋯ I.

The purpose of this study was to investigate glenoid morphology and define the safe zone for protecting the suprascapular nerve baseplate screw during baseplate fixation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in a Chinese population. ⋯ Glenoid size and the safe zone for screw fixation during RSA were characterized in a Chinese population. Careful consideration of baseplate fixation and avoidance of suprascapular nerve injury are important for improved clinical outcome.

The influence of chondromalacia patellae (CMP) on post-operative anterior knee pain (AKP) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial, and few studies have focused on the relationship between them. The purpose of this study was to determine whether different CMP grades affect the incidence of AKP after TKA without patellar resurfacing. ⋯ The findings may suggest no relevant influence of CMP grading on the incidence of AKP after TKA without patellar resurfacing.

We aimed to investigate the status quo of orthopaedic publications from China and characterize the most-cited articles to provide valuable insights for orthopaedists. ⋯ The Chinese orthopaedic research grew rapidly in terms of number of publications in the last decades, and the quality of publications also improved in recent years.

The goal was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, quality of reduction and complications of pelvic fractures treated by minimally invasive stabilisation of posterior pelvic ring instabilities with pedicle screws connected to a transverse rod. ⋯ Minimally invasive stabilisation of posterior-pelvic-ring instabilities with pedicle screw connected to a transverse rod may be a good alternative to sacroiliac screw fixation because it is quick, safe and associated with a good functional outcome; thus being a useful option in patients who do not qualify for sacroiliac screw fixation.
