Review Meta AnalysisThe impact of retaining the femoral stem in revision total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.
The management of well-fixed femoral stems in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) remains a subject of debate, with concerns over potential complications arising from stem retention. This study aimed to investigate the re-revision rates due to aseptic loosening of the stem, overall re-revision rates, dislocation rates, and factors influencing these outcomes in rTHA with a retained well-fixed femoral stem. ⋯ CRD42022351157.

Review Meta AnalysisLateral versus medial approach for total knee arthroplasty for valgus knee deformity shows comparable functional outcomes, hip-knee-ankle angle values, and complication rates: a meta-analysis of comparative studies.
The aim of this meta-analysis of comparative studies was to update the current evidence on functional and radiographic outcomes and complications between medial and lateral approaches for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for valgus knee deformity. ⋯ CRD42023392807.

Rotator cuff repair and return to sports practice in athletes older than 35 years: Is it possible? A systematic review.
Return to sport is an important measure of treatment success for athletes undergoing rotator cuff repair, which can be challenging in older athletes. The purpose of the present study was to systematically review and summarize the literature regarding the return to sport in athletes older than 35 years undergoing rotator cuff repair. ⋯ Although the evidence is limited, rotator cuff tear should not be seen as a mandatory reason for the retirement of older athletes. Of the 140 athletes included in this review, 122 returned to sport, with 102 returning to equal or higher level pre-injury.

ReviewThe role of fibula fixation in combined distal-third tibia and fibula fractures: a systematic literature review.
The role of concomitant fibula fracture fixation in distal-third tibia fractures regarding alignment, union, and functional outcome is still a topic of debate. In this review, we summarize the available comparative literature regarding fibula fixation in distal third lower leg fractures. ⋯ II.
