Performance of medial pivot, posterior stabilized and rotating platform total knee arthroplasty based on anteroposterior stability and patient-reported outcome measures; a multicentre double-blinded randomized controlled trial of 210 knees.
Despite advancements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), 10-20% of patients remain dissatisfied after surgery. Improved anteroposterior (AP) stability provided by medial pivot (MP) implants may theoretically lead to higher patient satisfaction. ⋯ MP-, PS- and RP-TKA all provide excellent and comparable results. Although MP-TKA provided better AP stability at early flexion compared to PS- and RP-TKA, this was found to be unrelated to improved PROMs in favour of MP-TKA. More studies focusing on early and mid-flexion performance based differences between MP and other TKA designs are required to confirm our findings. Other non-implant related factors may play a more important role in the performance of TKA and are potentially worthwhile examining.

Preoperative MRSA screening using a simple questionnaire prior elective total joint replacement.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management and results of our standarized protocol for preoperative identification of MRSA colonisation in patients undergoing primary total hip and knee replacement procedures. ⋯ Our results suggest that the simple and standardized questionnaire is a valuable tool for preoperative screening, effectively identifying high-risk patients prone to MRSA colonisation. The risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and its associated sequelae may be reduced by this approach.

A retrospective investigation on clinical and radiographic outcomes of distal tibial fractures after intramedullary nailing using the lateral parapatellar extra-articular approach.
According to reports, the modified extra-articular parapatellar approach allows the performance of tibial nailing in the semi-extended position without the concern of joint violation. However, there remains no special study that has provided a detailed assessment of the benefits and risks of this approach for treating distal tibial fractures (DTFs). The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with DTFs after intramedullary nailing using a lateral parapatellar extra-articular (LPE) approach in comparison to using the suprapatellar (SP) and transpatellar (TP) approaches. ⋯ The LPE approach can serve as a safe and effective option for tibial nailing, as it offers favourable outcomes in knee pain relief and knee ROM in the early postoperative period and is equivalent to the other two approaches in terms of the incidence of complications, fracture healing, functional recovery and postoperative alignment for patients with DTFs.
