Complications and side effects of Wide-Awake Local Anaesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) in upper limb surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionWALANT has a low overall complication rate of 1.7%, with no significant temporal variation and a significant reduction in complications when sodium bicarbonate is added to the anaesthetic solution. Our findings support the safety of WALANT in upper limb procedures.RegistrationPROSPERO: CRD42023404018. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip
ConclusionsCompared to the manual technique, the robot-assisted technique improved the precision and reproducibility of acetabular component positioning, particularly in DDH patients with Crowe types II/III. The robotic-assisted technique did not increase operative time, bleeding, complications, or revision rates, and had a slighter early inflammatory response and muscle damage.

Factors influencing correction rate following hemiepiphysiodesis using tension band plates for deformities around the knee: a multivariate analysis study
ConclusionThe correction of coronal deformities following temporary hemiepiphysiodesis is influenced by several factors. Valgus, femoral and deformities in younger children correct at a faster rate. Location of deformity and duration of treatment emerged as potential factors affecting the correction rate. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Changes in gait patterns after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in children
ConclusionIn children with ACL injury, abnormal gait patterns persist two years after ligament reconstruction, in spite of extensive rehabilitation and no clinical complaints. These findings might guide neuromuscular training to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the rerupture rate. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament through a double bundle of a single patellar tract and quadriceps tendons combined with medial displacement of lateral hemi-tibial tuberosity for treating low-grade recurrent patella dislocation
ConclusionsReconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament through a double bundle of a single patellar tract and quadriceps tendons combined with medial displacement of lateral hemi-tibial tuberosity for treating low-grade recurrent patella dislocation showed satisfactory medium-term efficacy, and further investigations are required to confirm the long-term efficacy of this approach.

Can the Achilles tendon regenerate completely following percutaneous tenotomy in older children with clubfoot?
ConclusionsClinical, functional and ultrasonographic parameters unequivocally demonstrate complete regeneration of the Achilles tendon, when pAT is performed in older children with delayed-presenting idiopathic clubfoot treated using Ponseti principles. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Non-metastatic hip fractures surgery in patients with active cancer: benefit and risk
ConclusionAlthough the active cancer group had a higher mortality rate at one year, which was influenced by the prognosis of the cancer, the benefits of surgical intervention, such as regaining walking ability, were the same in patients with and without active cancer.
