Systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ There is no evidence that CT has a benefit in patients with LSS, either alone or in combination with other treatments, or depending on the route of administration, according to the systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant RCTs.

ReviewTotal knee arthroplasty survivorship and outcomes in young patients: a review of the literature and 40-year update to a longitudinal study.
Growing numbers of younger patients are electing to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for end-stage osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to compare established literature regarding TKA outcomes in patients under age 55, to data from an ongoing longitudinal young patient cohort curated by our study group. Further, we aimed to provide a novel update on survivorship at 40 years post-TKA from our longitudinal cohort. ⋯ Young TKA patients demonstrated improved functionality at each follow-up time point assessed. Survivorship decreased with increasing lengths of follow-up, ultimately ranging from 52.1-65.3% at 40 years post-TKA. The paucity of literature on long-term TKA outcomes in this patient population reinforces the necessity of further research on this topic.

ReviewHigh survivorship rate and good clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy in patients with radiological advanced medial knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review.
The role of valgus producing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for the treatment of advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) is still controversial. The aim of the current systematic review was to assess survivorship and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) of high tibial osteotomy in patients with radiological advanced medial knee OA. ⋯ IV; systematic review of level III-IV studies.

ReviewMinimally invasive surgery in medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy for acquired flatfoot deformity: a systematic review of the literature.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in medial displacement calcaneus osteotomy (MDCO) has been proposed for surgical correction of adult-acquired flat foot deformity (AAFD) to reduce complications of open approaches. The aim of our study is to systematically analyze complications and the clinical and radiological results of MIS- MDCO. ⋯ Level IV.
