Clinical anatomy of the popliteal artery and its implications in total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2024 Mar 21. doi: 10.5603/fm.98506. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe popliteal artery (PA) is a lower extremity arterial vessel, a continuation of the superficial femoral artery. PA may be injured in the majority of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), as well as arthroscopic surgeries which may lead to acute ischemic injury. Our objective was analyzing morphometry of PA in relation to other structures both in flexion and extension of the knee, highlighting discrepancies in the PA's location in varying positions. Literature was reviewed in regards to morphological qualities, prevalence rates, and variants...

Comparative, Controlled, Retrospective Study of Patient-Reported Outcomes After Meniscectomy With Adjunctive Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma or Amniotic Umbilical Cord Tissue
Conclusion: In our study population, arthroscopic meniscectomy with adjunctive use of AMUC tissue improved patient-reported outcomes and reduced the reoperation rate compared to conventional technique or adjunctive use of PRP.PMID:38510228 | PMC:PMC10949044 | DOI:10.31486/toj.23.0073 (Source: Ochsner Journal)

Magnetic Resonance Arthrogram is More Accurate and Precise Than Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Evaluating Labral Tears After First-Time Shoulder Dislocation
Recent research shows that magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) offers better definition of certain shoulder pathology, especially labral tears, compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conventional MRI accuracy and precision deteriorates after two weeks, and few health delivery environments achieve MRI within 14 days of a shoulder dislocation. Moreover, further loss of MRI accuracy is time dependent. While MRA should be considered as a first-line imaging study when evaluating shoulder instability more than two weeks after the patient ’s injury, one must also consider clinical value and cost-effectiveness.

Massive Rotator Cuff Tears Benefit From Arthroscopic Repair Regardless of Advanced Goutallier or Hamada Changes
Massive rotator cuff tears (MRCTs) are a challenge to treat with options from arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Arthroscopic repair may still be an option even in the setting of advanced Goutallier changes and Hamada grades and regardless of healing. As the lifetime risk of revision for a 55 year old patient having an RSA was approximately 1 in 3, arthroscopic surgical management of MRCTs should not be discounted. An individualized approach that should consider the patient ’s radiographs (severity of arthritis), function (i.e. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)
