Meta AnalysisCombined application of adductor canal block and local infiltration anesthesia in primary total knee arthroplasty: an updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Perioperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may seriously affect the rapid recovery of patients. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the combined use of adductor canal block (ACB) and local infiltration anesthesia (LIA) can further reduce postoperative pain and improve early functional recovery. ⋯ The current meta-analysis showed that ACB + LIA significantly reduced postoperative walking pain and morphine consumption and promoted rapid recovery in the early postoperative period. There is no statistical difference in the length of stay and ROM after 72 h in the two groups.

ReviewUnion rates and functional outcome of double plating of the femur: systematic review of the literature.
The optimal treatment strategy for the surgical management of femur fractures and non-unions remains unknown. The aim of this study is to assess union rates, complications and outcome after femoral double plating. Treatment of shaft, distal, periprosthetic fractures and pathological proximal femur fractures as well as femoral non-unions with double plating were evaluated. ⋯ IV.

Meta AnalysisSame-day discharge arthroplasty has a higher overall complications rate than fast-track arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Published studies have reported many inconsistent results regarding the comparison of same-day discharge total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and inpatient TJA. More notably, many recent studies comparing same-day discharge TJA with fast-track TJA presented higher rates of complications for same-day discharge TJA, which raises concerns about the safety of same-day discharge TJA. ⋯ The overall safety of same-day discharge TJA is satisfactory; however, more complications were detected in same-day discharge TJA than that in fast-track TJA. Complications in same-day discharge TJA might be underestimated in some previous studies taking long-staying inpatient TJA as control. Being more cautious about complications is necessary in the care of same-day discharge TJA, and extensive prospective studies are needed to explore the optimized option that weighs both cost and complications.

Randomized Controlled TrialRadiological maturation and clinical results of double-bundle and single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A 5-year prospective case-controlled trial.
The aim of the study was to make a prospective comparison of the radiological and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing single-bundle and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. ⋯ In the 5-year follow-up period, no difference was determined between patients undergoing SB ACL reconstruction and those undergoing DB ACL reconstruction regarding clinical scores, knee stability, and MRI findings, but graft maturation occurs later the patients undergoing DB reconstruction.

ReviewHistory of diagnostics and treatment of scapular fractures in children and adolescents and its clinical importance.
Almost 70 scapular fractures in children and adolescents, up to the age of 17 years, have been described in detail in the literature since 1839. The diagnosis of these injuries was based on autopsy, radiographs, CT and MRI examinations. The most frequent findings were fractures/epiphyseolyses of the coracoid, followed by fractures of the infraspinous part of the body and avulsion of the inferior angle of the scapular body. ⋯ Scapulothoracic dissociation was also recorded in several cases. The majority of fractures were treated non-operatively; operative treatment was used in glenoid fractures, certain fractures of the coracoid and fractures of the scapular body with intrathoracic penetration. Except for scapulothoracic dissociation, outcomes of treatment of these injuries were very good.
