Clinical Trial Observational StudyHADS and SOMS-2 brief score evaluation can prevent unnecessary minimal invasive spine interventions - a prospective blinded observational clinical trial.
To test the hypothesis, whether HADS/SOMS is practical in a spine surgery consultation setting and that patients with CLBP, but a high-risk of psychic comorbidities using above screenings will not improve after minimal-invasive spine interventions (MIS). ⋯ II.

Estimating the minimal clinically important difference of shoulder functional scores after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: a prospective study.
The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is a valuable tool for patient-based outcome analysis, for which limited data is available in the literature, especially after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Although several studies have reported MCID after ARCR, few have studied the impact of various clinical factors such as Diabetes, pseudoparalysis, type of cuff repair, and retear over MCID. This study attempts to determine the MCID in shoulder functional scores after ARCR and the impact of various factors on MCID. ⋯ Prospective cohort, Level II.

Treatment of cartilage defects in the patellofemoral joint with matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation effectively improves pain, function, and radiological outcomes after 5-7 years.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate midterm outcomes 5-7 years after matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) in the patellofemoral joint. ⋯ IV-case series.

Comparing outcomes in revision total hip arthroplasty in inpatient versus outpatient setting: a matched cohort analysis.
As the population ages, revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) is becoming more common. However, there is a paucity of literature regarding perioperative outcomes following inpatient versus outpatient rTHA. Our study aims to compare perioperative complications and readmission rates associated with rTHA in a large national cohort. ⋯ There were no difference in the odds of complications between outpatient primary and revision THA. Additionally, rTHA performed in an outpatient setting did not show any increase in immediate compared to inpatient settings. These findings suggest that rTHA can be safely performed on certain patients.

Case ReportsSurface replacing arthroplasty of a post-traumatic stiff and deviated proximal interphalangeal joint in an adolescent.
This case report describes the 4-year outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint arthroplasty in a 14-year-old girl with a stiff joint after trauma. At follow-up, active range of motion was 35°, she was pain-free and satisfied with the outcome. Implant arthroplasty seems to be a valuable option for young patients with persistent post-traumatic stiff and deviated PIP joints to-at least temporarily-increase quality of life.
