An association between higher preoperative Goutallier stage and higher retear rates following primary rotator cuff repairs has been previously reported. However, there are few reviews which have described clear retear rates for each repaired tendon classified according to preoperative Goutallier sta...

Scapular winging is a rare condition of the shoulder girdle which presents challenging treatment decisions for clinicians. To inform clinical practice, clinicians need guidance on what the best treatment decision is for their patients and such recommendations should be based on the total evidence av...

Total knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed elective orthopaedic surgery. Patients may endure substantial knee swelling following surgery, which are attributable to both effusion and edema. Studies have been aiming to identify an accurate and reliable method to quantify post-operative knee swell...

The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and imaging parameters of kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to evaluate whether patients undergoing KA-TKA benefited more than those undergoing MA-TKA.

A functional intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACLI) is considered to be a prerequisite for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, UKA has shown that good clinical efficacy in ACL-deficient (ACLD) knees at 3 to 10 years follow-up. Therefore, the role of ACLD in UKA remains controversial...

Despite decreased operative times, uncemented hip hemiarthroplasty was associated with increased risk of fractures and complications compared with cemented hip hemiarthroplasty, results showed.

Early data presented here showed improved 6-week postoperative functional outcomes for patients with femoral neck fractures who have hemiarthroplasty by the direct anterior approach compared with anterolateral approach.

Labral length, notably in anterosuperior area, in patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia was related to patient s symptom. Labral length may b...

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common femoral and/or acetabular abnormality that can cause progressive damage to the hip and osteoarthritis. FAI can be the result of femoral head/neck overgrowth, acetabular overgrowth or both femoral and acetabular abnormalities, resulting in a loss of nati...

Results showed patients who underwent lumbar facet arthroplasty with a total spine system had low complication rates and significant improvements in patient-reported outcome measures at 1-year follow-up.
