Review Meta AnalysisEffectiveness and safety of unilateral pedicle screw fixation in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF): a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of unilateral pedicle screw fixation in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) by comparing with bilateral pedicle screw fixation. ⋯ Based on this systematic review and meta-analysis, the unilateral fixation in TLIF may achieve a similar clinical outcome and reduce blood loss and operative time when compared with that in bilateral fixation. However, the unilateral fixation may produce lower fusion rate and more cage migration than bilateral fixation in TLIF.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyIntraoperative blood pressure changes during cemented versus uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: a multi-center cohort study : The effect of bone cement for bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.
The purpose of this study was to compare the cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty with uncemented about the change of intraoperative blood pressure and the incidence of major complications in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. ⋯ Intraoperative blood pressure did not change during cemented and uncemented bipolar hemiarthrplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture. If the standard modern cement technique was performed during operation, bone cement is a safe and acceptable for elderly patients who have a lot of medical histories.

Ultra-short stem anchorage in the proximal tibial epiphysis after intercalary tumor resections: analysis of reconstruction survival in four patients at a mean follow-up of 56 months.
Tumors localized in the proximal tibial meta-diaphysis often lead to osteoarticular resections. ⋯ Therefore, we report this reconstruction technique to be considered for special indications where the functional outcome can be improved by preservation of the knee joint in tumors of the proximal meta-diaphyseal tibial region.

ReviewRisk factors for cartilage damage and osteoarthritis of the elbow joint: case-control study and systematic literature review.
This case-control study compares patients with healthy elbows to a group of symptomatic patients with cartilage damage/osteoarthritis. ⋯ Cartilage damage/radiographic osteoarthritis of the elbow joint are rare with respect to the overall prevalence of osteoarthritis. In the large number of patients with cartilage damage/radiographic osteoarthritis of the elbow joint, occupational or athletic stress factors and injuries sustained, in addition to other causes (rheumatism, gout), can prove as possible causes of these as secondary to symptomatic forms of osteoarthritis.
