Background Obesity is a growing global health concern that poses challenges to optimizing outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to improve perioperative recovery, it remains unclear whether they sufficiently mitigate the adverse impact of obesity, particularly in Asian populations with differing body composition and recovery patterns. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary academic center involving patients who underwent primary TKA under a standardized ERAS protocol between January 2020 and December 2021.

Methods: We included all patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction at our center between 2012 and 2015.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to arthroscopy in identifying meniscal and cartilage injuries in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiencies.
- A total of 206 patients were analyzed, with findings showing that MR imaging effectively detected medial meniscus tears but struggled with lateral meniscus tears and certain cartilage injuries, especially in complex cases.
- Results indicated that age and the presence of prior injuries influenced MR imaging accuracy, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing specific knee injuries accurately using this imaging technique.
