ConclusionCapsular closure with Absorbable sutures was non-inferior to capsular closure with non-absorbable sutures with respect to the proportion of post-operative IPT following hip arthroscopy for FAI. Additionally, the proportion of post-operative IPT was found to be significantly higher in patients undergoing revision versus primary hip arthroscopy, regardless of capsular closure suture type.Level of evidenceIV.

Assessing complications and functional outcomes in proximal humerus fracture management: a retrospective comparison between conservative and intramedullary nailing treatments
ConclusionThe present study demonstrates an overall prevalence of complications to be 16% in patients treated conservatively and 42.6% in patients treated surgically. In the non-surgical cohort, the frozen shoulder was the most frequently observed complication (8%). Interestingly, non-anatomical repositioning was the most prevalent complication in surgically treated patients. Due to the complexity of the FPH, we believe that the surgeon needs to have comprehensive knowledge regarding the characteristics of this fracture, the available treatment options, and the possible complications that may occur. This can enhance patien...

Percutaneous treatment of radial neck fractures in adult patients
ConclusionsThe advocated technique is promising for obtaining good reduction and stabilization, and good to excellent satisfaction for patients. Given the challenging technique, the learning curve could be long and initial results unsatisfactory. More research with larger cohorts and improved study design could be carried out, comparing the technique with the current choice of treatment (ORIF, radial head resection).

Corona mortis: clinical evaluation of prevalence, anatomy, and relevance in anterior approaches to the pelvis and acetabulum
ConclusionOur findings show a CM prevalence aligning more with anatomical studies than prior intraoperative series. Although we observed one incidental and ten trauma-related CM injuries, we did not encounter uncontrollable bleeding. Our data suggest that in anterior pelvic approaches, when the CM is actively identified and occluded, it is not associated with bleeding events, despite its high prevalence.

Aspirin prophylaxis is not associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism in arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures: a non-inferiority study
ConclusionAspirin is not associated with increased incidence of VTE after HHA or THA for FNF. Aspirin prophylaxis should be considered in hip fracture patients to mitigate bleeding risk, particularly those with low to intermediate VTE risk.Level of evidenceLevel III, Retrospective study.

The effect of a post-anaesthesia high-care unit (PAHCU) admission on mobilization, length of stay and in-hospital mortality post-surgery in low energy neck of femur fracture patients
ConclusionPAHCU admission resulted in delayed time to surgery and TTM, together with prolonged LOS, compared to those managed in POOW. However, these mortality rates remained comparable in both groups. This study contributes valuable insights into post-operative care of FFH patients in a resource-poor setting.

Elevated risk of prosthetic infections in cannabis users after shoulder arthroplasty
ConclusionsOur study found cannabis use to cause greater risk for superficial and deep infection. More research involving randomized trials are needed to fully elucidate the impact of cannabis use on shoulder arthroplasty procedures. Clinically, these findings can appropriately guide surgeons and patients alike regarding expectations prior to undergoing TSA. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

A predictive algorithm for perioperative complications and readmission after ankle arthrodesis
ConclusionWe report a well-calibrated algorithm for prediction of major perioperative complications and 30-day readmission after ankle arthrodesis. This tool may help accurately risk-stratify patients and decrease likelihood of major complications. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Clinical and safety outcomes of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty for Japanese octogenarian patients: a retrospective analysis
ConclusionSiBTKA for octogenarians had clinical outcomes and postoperative complication incidence similar to that for younger controls. Therefore, SiBTKA may be a safe and effective treatment option for octogenarians with painful bilateral knee deformities. (Source: European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology)

Subtrochanteric nonunion after intramedullary nailing due to pathological fracture: proximal femoral replacement as a salvage approach
ConclusionsIn patients with pathological fractures in the subtrochanteric region that is treated with cephalomedullary nailing and developed a nonunion, treatment with conversion to a proximal femoral replacement with a mega prosthesis is a valuable treatment with good functional results and low risk for complications.Level of evidenceTherapeutic level IV.

Effectiveness of permissive weight bearing in surgically treated trauma patients with peri- and intra-articular fractures of the lower extremities: a prospective comparative multicenter cohort study
ConclusionPWB is effective and is associated with a significantly reduced time to full weight bearing, and a significantly better outcome regarding ADL and QoL compared to patients who followed RWB regimen. Moreover, no significant differences in complication rates were found between the PWB and RWB groups.Level of evidenceLevel II.RegistrationThis study is registered in the Dutch Trial Register (NTR6077).
