Previous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction influences the complication rate of total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: The results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are still under-investigated. The purpose of this research is to investigate the differences between TKA after ACL reconstruction and TKA for primary osteoarthritis through a review and meta-analysis of the literature.

Methods: Case-control and cohort studies reporting outcomes of TKA following ACL reconstruction were considered eligible for inclusion.

Prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of fetal congenital knee dislocation: systematic review of literature.

Objectives: Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare condition, affecting 1 in 100 000 newborns. Its prenatal diagnosis is challenging and not well described in the literature, especially when it appears isolated and not as part of a complex malformation or syndromic pattern. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive review of the available literature on the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of CKD and to summarize the current evidence on this topic.

Subtalar Arthroereisis for Surgical Treatment of Flexible Flatfoot.

Various surgical techniques are known for the treatment of flexible flatfoot in children after failure of nonsurgical attempts. Data collected in a review of the last 10-year period (2010-2020) show that among the 691 feet undergoing subtalar arthroereisis with endorthesis, average age at surgery was 11.40 years and in the 1856 feet that underwent subtalar arthroereisis with calcaneo-stop 11.

Foot Macrodactyly Associated with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare congenital malformation which may be associated with macrodactyly. The main problem is the need for custom-made shoes. We describe the case of a female newborn affected by Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, with a larger and longer right foot; the difference increased progressively and, at 5 years of age, the right foot was 50% larger and 38% longer than the left one.
