Subsequent total joint arthroplasty: Are we learning from the first stage?
CONCLUSION: After gaining valuable experience recovering from the initial surgery, a patient's perioperative outcomes are improved for their second TJA. This may be the result of increased confidence and decreased anxiety, and it supports the theory that enhanced patient education pre-operatively may improve outcomes. For the surgical team, the second procedure of a staged THA is more efficient, although this finding did not hold for TKA.PMID:38596183 | PMC:PMC10999970 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.230 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Pulsed lavage in joint arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Pulsed lavage reduced the formation of radiolucent lines in knee replacements. No difference was seen in the remaining outcomes. Furthermore, the clinical significance of these radiolucent lines is poorly understood. Better conducted randomized controlled studies and cost-effectivity studies are needed to reinforce these findings.PMID:38596185 | PMC:PMC10999965 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.293 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Meta-analysis of the clinical efficacy of the Gamma3 nail < em > vs < /em > Gamma3U-blade system in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures
CONCLUSION: Our study indicated that the Gamma3 system reduces operative time compared to the Gamma3 U-blade system in treating intertrochanteric fractures. Both surgical methods proved to be safe and effective for this patient group. These findings may offer valuable insights and guidance for future surgical protocols in hip fracture patients.PMID:38596186 | PMC:PMC10999963 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.285 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Correction method for moderate and severe degrees of hallux valgus associated with transfer metatarsalgia
CONCLUSION: The developed method showed good sustainability of correction power in a small sample of patients at the one-year follow-up. Randomized clinical trials with larger samples, as well as long-term outcome assessments, are needed in the future.PMID:38596187 | PMC:PMC10999968 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.238 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Single-center experience with Knee+ ™ augmented reality navigation system in primary total knee arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: The results indicate satisfactory postoperative coronal alignment without outliers across all three different implants utilized. Augmented reality navigation systems can bolster orthopaedic surgeons' accuracy in achieving precise axial alignment. However, further research is required to further evaluate their efficacy and potential.PMID:38596188 | PMC:PMC10999969 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.247 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Cyclops syndrome following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: Can relapse occur after surgery?

However, recurrent cyclops lesions have rarely been documented. There are case rare series in the literature regarding the treatment of recurrent cyclops lesion. Future large studies are needed to investigate factors contributing to the development of cyclops lesions and syndrome and treatment options.PMID:38596191 | PMC:PMC10999971 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i3.201 (Source: World...
