Machine Learning Model for Selection of Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty Candidates Utilizing Patient and Radiographic Parameters.

The use of cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has significantly increased over the past decade. However, there is no objective criteria or consensus on parameters for patient selection for cementless TKA. The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning model based on patient and radiographic parameters that could identify patients indicated for cementless TKA.

Volar Plate Impingement Following Scaphoid Fracture Nonunion Surgery Using a Volar Locking Plate: A Retrospective Case Series.

Purpose: Internal fixation using volar locking plates is one surgical option for addressing scaphoid fracture nonunion. Concerns about impingement and plate removal remain, and there is limited literature on imaging findings. This study assessed volar plate impingement (VPI) using a classification based on radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans.

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Robotic-Assisted vs Manual Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was introduced to provide surgeons with virtual preoperative planning and intraoperative information to achieve the desired surgical goals in an effort to improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures following primary TKA using RA-TKA vs manual instrumentation.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort review study comparing 393 primary RA-TKAs vs 312 manual TKAs at a minimum 2-year follow-up.
