Robot-assisted (RA) versus conventional total knee replacement: a 2-year clinical comparison
Conclusions:
There were no differences in 90-day complications, revisions, and patient-reported outcome scores between RA TKA and conventional TKA groups at short-term follow-up. Surgeons can expect similar clinical outcomes without an increase in complications while taking advantage of increased accuracy in alignment and component placement. Further long-term study of RA TKA outcomes is warranted.

Knee injuries associated with extraarticular tibial fractures and their impact on the clinical outcome of the patients: a prospective arthroscopic study
Conclusions:
Ipsilateral injuries are frequent in tibial shaft fractures. However, they do not seem to affect the functional outcome of patients, at least in short-term follow-up.

Efficacy of automated electronic medical records (EMR) notification to promote provider intervention for severe depression: a retrospective record review
Conclusions:
Notification of patient depression status alone was insufficient to persuade most surgeons to discuss mental health with their severely depressed patients. To empower surgeons to have these important conversations, extant barriers need to be identified and addressed. The association with rates of intervention and individual-level factors of both patients and providers could be explored.

Literature review on the management of simultaneous bilateral extracapsular hip fractures in the elderly
Currently, there is a wide awareness of the high degree of functional impairment and morbimortality associated with hip fractures in the elderly, and efforts are being made to improve outcomes. As age rises, physiological reserves decline, and more severe complications occur. Simultaneous bilateral extracapsular hip fractures in the setting of low-energy trauma in the elderly are rare but deserve special attention with treatment strategies that are in between those for unilateral hip fractures and elderly patients with multiple injuries. Adequate initial assessment, a multidisciplinary approach to trauma care, and the inte...
