Review Meta AnalysisUnicondylar knee replacement versus total knee replacement for the treatment of medial knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Since the optimal surgery for isolated medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear, this study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of unicondylar knee replacement (UKR) with total knee replacement (TKR) for simple medial knee OA. ⋯ The patients of UKR could achieve better clinical results than that of TKR, moreover, there were negligible differences between the two techniques in postoperative revision in the early and mid-term follow-up and surgeons should be aware of the important reasons for revision of UKR. Thus, UKR instead of TKR should be performed in patients with late-stage isolated medial knee OA.

Randomized Controlled TrialOutcomes after nonoperatively treated non-displaced Lisfranc injury: a retrospective case series of 55 patients.
Current knowledge of the role of the nonoperative treatment of Lisfranc injuries is based on a few retrospective case series. Hence, consensus on which patients can be treated nonoperatively does not exist. The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes after nonoperative treatment of Lisfranc injuries. ⋯ IV, retrospective case series.

The prevalence of soft tissue injuries in operative Schatzker type IV tibial plateau fractures.
To describe the incidence of soft-tissue injuries in patients with surgically treated Schatzker type IV tibial plateau fractures. ⋯ This study found that operative Schatzker type IV tibial plateau fractures represented a high incidence of soft-tissue injuries, especially LCL injuries, ACL injuries, and meniscus tears. Based on our data, we believe that soft-tissue injuries in operative Schatzker type IV tibial plateau fractures deserve more attention.

Clinical outcomes of using contralateral-side laterally bent intramedullary nails in atypical femur fractures with femoral bowing.
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of using contralateral-side laterally bent intramedullary nails (IMNs) in bowed atypical femur fractures (AFFs). ⋯ The use of contralateral-side laterally bent IMNs in treating bowed femurs showed excellent clinical outcomes without complications. In severely bowed femurs, this technique can be safe and useful.

Computer-assisted open reduction internal fixation of intraarticular radius fractures navigated with patient-specific instrumentation, a prospective case series.
Intra-articular fractures are associated with posttraumatic arthritis if inappropriately treated. Exact reduction of the joint congruency is the main factor to avoid the development of arthrosis. Aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility of computer-assisted surgical planning and 3D-printed patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for treatment of distal intraarticular radius fractures. ⋯ IV.
