Comparative StudyFaster return to sport after robotic-assisted lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a comparative study.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is frequently performed on active patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis who desire a quick return to sports. The aim of this study was to compare return to sport after lateral UKA performed by robotic-assisted and conventional techniques. ⋯ Comparative retrospective study, Level III.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty: the role of physical therapy on the clinical outcome in the mid-term to long-term follow-up.
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty shifts the rotational center of the shoulder joint caudally and medially to restore shoulder function in a rotator cuff deficient shoulder. Despite promising results in early- and mid-term follow-up, long-term loss in shoulder function has been described in the literature. A lack of exercise in elderly patients may be one reason for this loss in function. This study examines the functional benefits of physical therapy in the mid-term to long-term follow-up regarding the subjective and objective shoulder function. ⋯ Level III.

Retracted PublicationPrognostic factors for the outcome of arthroscopic capsular repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears.
Little information is available about prognostic factors of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) lesions. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors that affect the treatment outcomes of arthroscopic capsular repair for peripheral TFCC tears. ⋯ Female gender, a longer duration of symptom, and a negative DRUJ stress test are associated with a higher likelihood of treatment failure after arthroscopic outside-in capsular repair of peripheral TFCC tears.
