Kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty is as effective in severe varus deformities as in mild deformities.

Purpose: This study compares the clinical outcomes and radiological measures of kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) in patients with severe knee deformities to those with mild varus.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 145 patients with <10° varus malalignment and 145 patients with >10° varus. All cases underwent KA-TKA performed by a single surgeon using the same techniques between 2015 and 2022.

A Comparative Analysis of Functional Outcomes between Lateral and Posterolateral Approaches in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) stands as the definitive gold standard treatment for degenerative hip disorders. Various approaches have been proposed for THA, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. This study aimed to compare the initial functional outcomes of the lateral and posterolateral approaches to determine the approach with superior functional outcomes.

Fixed-Bearing Posterior-Stabilized Implant versus Constrained Condylar Knee in One-Stage Bilateral Primary Arthroplasty of the Varus Knee: A Randomized Controlled Trial with Minimum 2-year Follow-Up.

Background: Severe varus deformity of the knee poses a technical challenge in balancing the flexion-extension gaps. The use of a varus-valgus constrained prosthesis is a solution to achieve coronal plane stability. The results of constrained condylar knee (CCK) implants in primary total knee arthroplasty are not well known.

Intraoperative Chertsey Test, is it a Reliable Alternative to Computed Tomography Scan for Diagnosing Syndesmotic Injuries of the Ankle?

Background: The present study aims to evaluate the diagnostic exactitude of the intraoperative Chertsey test in tibiofibular syndesmotic injuries in patients with malleolar fractures, in comparison with a computed tomography (CT) scan.

Materials And Methods: In this study, patients with malleolar fractures operated between 2018 and 2020 were examined. Thirty-nine patients were enrolled in the study.

Clinical Outcome Comparison between Staged -Bilateral Versus Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Replacements.

Background: This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with staged and simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: The present study included 100 patients with a mean age of 62±3.72 years from 2014 to 2017.

Acute Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty for Proximal Tibial Fractures in Elderly.

Background: Proximal tibial fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis or knee osteoarthritis (OA) are challenging cases. In the current study, we present our experience with uncommon acute primary total knee arthroplasty (PTKA) in this patient population.

Methods: PTKAs were performed following proximal tibial fractures in 30 consecutive patients over 60 years of age with osteoporosis or knee OA between 2005 and 2009.

DRUJ instability after distal radius fracture: a comparison between cases with and without ulnar styloid fracture.

Background: Because of the importance of the DRUJ in upper extremity function and the prevalence of distal radius fractures, either with or without ulnar styloid fracture, this study was designed to assess the relationship between ulnar styloid fracture and the incidence of DRUJ instability after treatment of distal radius fractures treated with ORIF (volar plate).

Methods: 112 patients suffering from type two and three distal radius fractures (Fernandez classification), were evaluated. Depending on the presence of ulnar styloid avulsion fracture, patients were divided into two groups: 86 cases with isolated radial fracture and 26 cases with a distal radius fracture accompanied by ulnar styloid fracture.
