Multivariate Quantitative Outcomes of Periacetabular Osteotomy Using Discrete Element Analysis.

Multiple biomechanical models have been suggested to quantify lower limb joint contact stress distributions, with varying results. Among others, the choice of cartilage morphology and gait loading patterns can significantly affect simulation results. Moreover, there is currently no consensus on simulating the input and output data needed to obtain reliable results and enable a comprehensive analysis.

Continuous vs. single-shot adductor canal block for pain management following primary total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Adductor canal block (ACB) provides effective analgesia following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This systematic review aimed to compare continuous and single-shot ACB for pain management and functional recovery following TKA.

Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and CENTRAL were searched up to January 5th, 2021.

Return to Baseline Physical Activity After Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Versus Hamstring Tendon Autografts for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) autografts are the most utilized grafts for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The ability of a patient to return to a preinjury level of physical activity is a key consideration in choice of graft; the influence of graft choice on this metric lacks consensus in the literature.

Purpose: To assess the effects of autograft choice (BPTB vs HT) for primary ACL reconstruction on return to baseline level of physical activity and/or sports participation.
