Review Meta AnalysisModern implants in total knee arthroplasty are more patellofemoral joint friendly compared to their traditional design: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Implant designs for total knee arthroplasties (TKA) are continuously evolving to improve outcomes and satisfaction rates after TKA. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the evidence in the literature regarding the outcomes of the Attune knee system over the PFC Sigma knee design and investigate the advantage of one over the other. ⋯ The present systematic review highlights better KSS and lesser chances of PF complications favouring a modern implant design over its traditional counterpart. Other patient-reported outcome analyses at a short-term follow-up period were comparable among patients undergoing total knee replacements with two different implant designs. Radiological outcomes for component positioning also suggested similar results among the two groups.

Review Meta AnalysisEfficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis aimed to compare the differences in postoperative efficacy between oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. ⋯ OLIF and TLIF can relieve low back pain symptoms in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases, but OLIF has certain advantages in terms of ODI and VAS-LP. In addition, OLIF has the advantages of minor intraoperative trauma and quick postoperative recovery.

ReviewIndications and techniques for non-articulating spacers in massive bone loss following prosthetic knee joint infection: a scoping review.
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a destructive complication of knee replacement surgery (KR). In two-stage revision a spacer is required to maintain limb length and alignment and provide a stable limb on which to mobilise. Spacers may be articulating or static with the gold standard spacer yet to be defined. The aims of this scoping review were to summarise the types of static spacer used to treat PJI after KR, their indications for use and early complication rates. ⋯ This study has summarised the large variety in static spacer constructs used for staged revision KR for PJI. Static spacers were associated with a high risk of complications and further work in this area is required to improve the quality of care in this vulnerable group.

Meta AnalysisThe meniscotibial ligament role in meniscal extrusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The meniscotibial ligament (MTL) limits extrusion of the medial meniscus (MM). While meniscal extrusion may be detrimental to knee joint biomechanics, the role of the MTL in meniscal extrusion is debatable. We sought to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the role of the MTL and surgical techniques for MTL repair. ⋯ MTL injury may result in approximately 3 mm of MM extrusion, while repair of the MTL can decrease extrusion by 2 mm. Several novel surgical techniques exist to repair the MTL. However, studies reporting clinical outcomes of these various procedures are scarce.

Meta AnalysisSurvivorship of the dual-mobility construct in elective primary total hip replacement: a systematic review and meta-analysis including registry data.
Dislocation is a common complication associated with total hip replacement (THR). Dual-mobility constructs (DMC-THR) may be used in high-risk patients and have design features that may reduce the risk of dislocation. We aimed to report overall pooled estimates of all-cause construct survival for elective primary DMC-THR. Secondary outcomes included unadjusted dislocation rate, revision for instability, infection and fracture. ⋯ Survivorship of DMC-THR in primary THR is acceptable according to the national revision benchmark published by National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE).
