Rotator cuff repair with single row technique provides satisfying clinical results despite consistent MRI retear rate
ConclusionsBoth groups with intact repaired and retorn cuffs showed improvement in their condition, but unexpectedly, there is no significant   correlation between patient satisfaction and rotator cuff integrity.Level of evidenceIV (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Remnant preservation may improve proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
ConclusionThe current literature, although limited, reported proprioception improvement after ACLR-R (compared with ACLR-S) in terms of JPS. However, owing to the heterogeneity of the relevant studies, further research is required to determine remnant preservation effect on knee proprioceptive restoration.Level of evidenceLevel III, systematic review of Level II and III studies.

Risk factors for preoperative deep venous thrombosis in hip fracture patients: a meta-analysis
ConclusionsMany factors, including advanced age, female patients, high-energy injury, prolonged time from injury to admission, prolonged time from injury to surgery, patients with a history of coronary heart disease, dementia, liver and kidney diseases, pulmonary disease, smoking, and thrombosis, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, and  <  35 g/l albumin, were found to be associated with preoperative DVT. Our findings suggested that the patient with above characteristics might have preoperative DVT.Level of evidence: Level III. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Proximal femoral replacement for non-neoplastic conditions: a systematic review on current outcomes
In conclusion, the use of PFR in non-neoplastic condi tions remains a marginal tool, associated with low direct mortality and high complication rates, but we expect its use to increase in the near future. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Impact of subtrochanteric fractures in the geriatric population: better pre-fracture condition but poorer outcome than pertrochanteric fractures: evidence from the Spanish Hip Fracture Registry
ConclusionsSubtrochanteric fractures in the older population are a different and worse entity, with greater morbimortality and functional decline than pertrochanteric fractures. Despite being younger and fitter at admission, older patients with subtrochanteric fractures have a higher risk of remaining non-weight bearing and undergoing re-operation and institutionalization. Orthogeriatric units should be aware of this and manage subtrochanteric fractures accordingly.Level of evidence: IV. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology)

Pre-operative templating in THA using a short stem system: precision and accuracy of 2D versus 3D planning method
ConclusionDespite extended planning time and increased exposure to radiation, 3D-based planning showed higher accuracy than 2D templating, especially in obese patients. On the basis of our results, we believe that 3D-based pre-operative planning in THA is justifiable and beneficial in patients with increased BMI.Level of EvidenceIII.

Frequency and characteristics of bacterial and viral low-grade infections of the intervertebral discs: a prospective, observational study
ConclusionsWith 447 segments from 392 patients, we present one of the largest studies to date. While disc degeneration caused by HSV-1, HSV-2, and CMV seems unlikely, we found positive microbiological culture results in 38.78% of all discs. The role of local skin flora and sample contamination should be the focus of further investigations.Level of EvidenceIII.Trial registration: The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04712487,https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT04712487).

Open technique for supra-acetabular pin placement in pelvic external fixation: a cadaveric study
ConclusionsThis study shows that the freehand technique performed by experienced trauma surgeons may be as acceptable as controlled pin insertion under image intensification for selecting the proper entry point and stabilizing the anterior pelvic ring.

MR arthrography: correlation between anatomic intraarticular variants of the long head of the biceps tendon (long head biceps tendon) and superior labral anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions
ConclusionsIt is possible that adherence of the long head biceps tendon to the supraspinatus more often predisposes to a lesion of the superior glenoid labrum (SLAP), in view of the close relationships between the fibrocartilage and the bicipital anchor, probably related to the limited excursion of the intraarticular long head biceps tendon.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Italian version of the anterior cruciate ligament –return to sport after injury (ACL-RSI) scale and its integration into the K-STARTS test
ConclusionsThe ACL-RSI-It is valid, reliable, and comparable to the original English version of the questionnaire for Italian-speaking patients. It can be used to assess the psychological readiness of patients for a RTS after primary and unilateral ACLR, and can be integrated into the Italian K-STARTS test.Level of evidenceLevel II.

Critical shoulder angle (CSA): age and gender distribution in the general population
ConclusionsIn the general population, the mean CSA value was 33.6 °. No significant differences were found regarding the mean CSA value according to gender or side. A significant positive linear correlation between CSA and age was detected. In each decade of life, the CSA value, which is genetically determined, shows a large variability.Level of evidence: IV.
