Mid-term outcomes of a kinematically designed cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: The evaluated implant is an effective, novel design offering excellent outcomes and low complication rates. At a mean follow up of 3.3 years, four patients required revisions, three aseptic and one septic, resulting in an overall implant survival rate of 98.4% and an aseptic survival rate of 98.8%. The results of our study demonstrate the utility of this kinematically designed implant in the setting of primary TKA.PMID:38464356 | PMC:PMC10921185 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.118 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

High rate of clinically relevant improvement following anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis
CONCLUSION: Based on three shoulder-specific outcome measures we find that approximately 90% of patients has a clinically relevant improvement. This is a clear message when informing patients about their prognosis.PMID:38464358 | PMC:PMC10921174 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.156 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Review and update on the management of triangular fibrocartilage complex injuries in professional athletes
World J Orthop. 2024 Feb 18;15(2):110-117. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.110. eCollection 2024 Feb 18.ABSTRACTTriangular fibrocartilage complex injuries are common in amateur and professional sports. These injuries are mainly caused by acute or chronic repetitive axial loads on the wrist, particularly on the ulnar side and in association with rotations or radial/ulnar deviations. In order to treat professional athletes, a detailed specific knowledge of the pathology is needed. Moreover, the clinician should fully understand the specific and unique environment and needs of the athletes, their priorities and goals, the type of spo...

Mitochondrial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes: A neglected path to skeletal muscle atrophy
World J Orthop. 2024 Feb 18;15(2):101-104. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.101. eCollection 2024 Feb 18.ABSTRACTOver the course of several decades, robust research has firmly established the significance of mitochondrial pathology as a central contributor to the onset of skeletal muscle atrophy in individuals with diabetes. However, the specific intricacies governing this process remain elusive. Extensive evidence highlights that individuals with diabetes regularly confront the severe consequences of skeletal muscle degradation. Deciphering the sophisticated mechanisms at the core of this pathology requires a thorough and meticulo...

Adenylate cyclase activates the cAMP signalling pathway to enhance platelet-rich plasma-treated Achilles tendon disease, a theoretical bioinformatics-based study
World J Orthop. 2024 Feb 18;15(2):192-200. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.192. eCollection 2024 Feb 18.ABSTRACTThe effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of Achilles tendon disorders still needs to be evaluated through a series of prospective studies, but genomic analysis can reveal the existence of complementary PRP treatment options. Based on the 96 platelet activation-related genes in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database, we performed Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis, pathway correlation analysis, and enrichment mapping to determine the enri...

Deep learning automation of radiographic patterns for hallux valgus diagnosis
World J Orthop. 2024 Feb 18;15(2):105-109. doi: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.105. eCollection 2024 Feb 18.ABSTRACTArtificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning are becoming increasingly powerful tools in diagnostic and radiographic medicine. Deep learning has already been utilized for automated detection of pneumonia from chest radiographs, diabetic retinopathy, breast cancer, skin carcinoma classification, and metastatic lymphadenopathy detection, with diagnostic reliability akin to medical experts. In the World Journal of Orthopedics article, the authors apply an automated and AI-assisted technique to determine the hallux valgus ...

Assessment of the effectiveness of weight-adjusted antibiotic administration, for reduced duration, in surgical prophylaxis of primary hip and knee arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: A weight-adjusted regime, with a reduction in number of post-operative doses had no adverse impact on SSI incidence in this population.PMID:38464351 | PMC:PMC10921182 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.170 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Effect of ankle versus thigh tourniquets on post-operative pain in foot and ankle surgery
CONCLUSION: This study shows that there was no statistically significant correlation between tourniquet pressure, site and post-op pain in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. The choice of using a tourniquet is based on the surgeon's preference, with the goal of minimizing the duration of its application at the operative site.PMID:38464352 | PMC:PMC10921181 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.163 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)

Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society orthopedic surgeons in the United States: An analysis of geographical distribution, academic, leadership, and demographic characteristics
CONCLUSION: Over 21% of LLRS members are women, surpassing prior benchmarks noted in orthopedic faculty reporting. LLRS members' high research productivity scores imply field dedication that can refine expertise in the limb lengthening and reconstruction space. Gender disparities in leadership remain, however, necessitating greater equity efforts. A low rate of LLRS representation per capita must be addressed geographically as well, to affect improvements in regional care access. This study can serve to support aspiring orthopedic professionals, inform diversity, leadership, and field advancement strategies, and maintain t...

Meta-analysis of factors influencing anterior knee pain after total knee arthroplasty
CONCLUSION: Patellar resurfacing, mobile-bearing TKA, and fixed-bearing TKA do not reduce the incidence of AKP. Lateral retinacular release can reduce AKP; however, whether circumpatellar denervation can reduce AKP is controversial.PMID:38464355 | PMC:PMC10921178 | DOI:10.5312/wjo.v15.i2.180 (Source: World Journal of Orthopaedics)
