Clinical Outcomes in Prospective versus Retrospective Studies on Arthroscopic Bankart Repair: A Systematic Review
The majority of the current literature on arthroscopic Bankart repair is retrospective and discrepancies exist regarding clinical outcomes including recurrent instability and return to play amongst studies of different levels of evidence. (Source: Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery)

Outcomes of total elbow arthroplasty in the treatment of distal humeral fractures in the elderly: A retrospective cohort comparison between primary arthroplasty and arthroplasty secondary to failed internal fixation.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of total elbow arthroplasty as the index procedure in the treatment of traumatic distal humerus fractures, with secondary total elbow arthroplasty following failed internal fixation. The secondary objectives were to compare the complication rates and the radiographic results in the two groups. Our hypothesis was that the clinical results of total elbow arthroplasty performed secondarily to failed internal fixation were comparable to primary total elbow arthroplasty in the treatment of distal humerus fractures in the elderly population.

Regional Differences in Reimbursement, Volume, and Patient Characteristics Exist for Rotator Cuff Repairs: A Temporal Analysis from 2013 to 2021
Prior studies have demonstrated declining reimbursement and changing procedural utilization across multiple orthopedic subspecialties, yet a comprehensive examination of this has not been performed for rotator cuff repair, particularly at a geographic level. The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in reimbursement, utilization, and patient populations for open and arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs (RCR) from 2013 to 2021 at a national and regional level.

Morphometric Analysis of Cervical Neuroforaminal Dimensions from C2-T1 Using Computed Tomography of 1,000 Patients
Race and sex differences are not consistently reported in the literature. Fundamentally, anatomical differences of cervical neuroforaminal dimensions (CNFD) amongst these groups would be important to know. (Source: The Spine Journal)

Skeletal muscle structure, function and pathology
Skeletal muscle is an important structure responsible for producing movement, storing nutrients, maintaining posture and providing stability across joints. Unlike smooth and cardiac muscle, control can be voluntary. This review article will outline the macroscopic and microscopic appearance of skeletal muscle, the method by which it contracts, the types of skeletal muscle and pathology associated with it.

Foot and ankle injuries in women's soccer: epidemiology and risk factors
This article provides a narrative summary of current understanding of football injuries in female athletes. We summarize the epidemiological data and compare differences between levels of competition, from amateur through professional. Underlying intrinsic risk factors such as anatomic, biomechanics and endocrine factors are outlined. Extrinsic risk factors such as football boot design and playing surface are detailed. We briefly report on the outcomes of women's injury prevention programmes and their success in reducing ankle injuries. (Source: Orthopaedics and Trauma)

Arthroplasty registries: a valuable tool to orthopaedic surgeons, manufacturers, patients and regulators?
Historically, orthopaedic implants required little clinical evidence before market introduction, either in the USA or the European Union (EU). There have been major incidents, with faulty designs or manufacturing techniques resulting in patient harm. The new EU Medical Device Regulations (MDR) have significantly changed the requirements around the introduction to the market of new medical devices in the EU. Initiatives like CORE-MD are founded to improve this process. EUDAMED will provide a mandatory European implant safety register. (Source: Orthopaedics and Trauma)

Do plasma-rich protein injections have a role in orthopaedics? A systematic review and meta-analysis of the randomized control trials
We evaluated the effectiveness of plasma-rich protein injections (PRP) in terms of pain, patient-reported outcomes and function in degenerative joint disease and tendinopathy. The search strategies were ran in Ovid Medline and Ovid Embase in October 2023 by a clinical librarian. Results were limited to the last 10 years. The search terms used were ‘platelet rich plasma’ and ‘orthopaedics’. After screening and the eligibility process this resulted in 18 randomized control trials (RCTs). We analysed 18 level 1 RCTs in regard to gluteal tendinopathy, hip osteoarthritis, patella tendinopathy, knee osteoarthritis, Achi...

Sustainable orthopaedics: the needs and challenges
This article explores the needs and challenges to achieve sustainable orthopaedic surgery. Orthopaedic surgery continues to create a large carbon footprint, primarily through the use of single-use consumables and energy-intensive operating theatres. While efforts to reduce environmental harm have primarily targeted changes within the operati ng theatre, a comprehensive approach must consider the entire surgical pathway.

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 726: Exploring Viral Genome Profile in Mpox Patients during the 2022 Outbreak, in a North-Eastern Centre of Italy
bi
Concetta Castilletti
In 2022, an unprecedented outbreak of mpox raged in several nations. Sequences from the 2022 outbreak reveal a higher nucleotide substitution if compared with the estimated rate for orthopoxviruses. Recently, intra-lesion SNVs (single nucleotide variants) have been described, and these have been suggested as possible sources of genetic variation. Until now, it has not been clear if the presence of several SNVs could represents the result of local mutagenesis or a possible co-infection. We investigated the significance of SNVs through whole-genome sequencing analysis of four unrelated mpox case...

Use and experienced effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments for chronic spinal cord injury related pain in The Netherlands: A cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSION: Patients with SCI experiencing pain often use non-pharmacological treatments. Most treatments were described as moderately effective. Research on specific non-pharmacological treatments and different types of pain separately is needed to further determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments.PMID:38695723 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2345448 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
