Debridement of the injured dorsal capsule in arthroscopic-assisted surgical treatment of intraarticular DRFs can improve surgical performance and optimize patient outcomes in a specific subgroup of patients. buff.ly/3LkjOJC #distal #radius #fracture #arthroscopy

Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index as a novel guideline for patient selection between unilateral versus bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty. buff.ly/3wHss0K #cci #charlson #comorbidity #index #orthotwitter

Tibial tubercle fracture did not affect the clinical outcome and bony union in spite of the relatively high occurrence rate. Anatomical risk factors for the fractures was a lower tibial tubercle position. buff.ly/3tH3k8g #tibialtubercle #orthotwitter

Destructive per continuitatem spondylodiscitis is a rare and severe complication post-EVAR/TEVAR. buff.ly/3r1wfCv #evar #tevar #spondylodiscitis #spine

Reconsider your osteotomies! Preoperative JLO ≥ 3° and JLCA ≥ 5° were two significant risk factors for excessive MPTA following MOWHTO. buff.ly/3DeWdXL #mowhto #osteotomy #angles #orthotwitter

Low subsidence and the migration pattern of the cementless press-fit THA stems may predict a good long-term result. buff.ly/3H8fuKO #tha #cementless #stem

Arthroscopy of the posterolateral recessus allows full visualization of all key structures of the posterolateral corner, which provides the basis for anatomic and safe drill channel placement in PLC reconstruction. buff.ly/3s3ImQ5 #pcl #plc #arthroscopy

A mushroom-shaped allograft in combination with a locking plate significantly increased load to failure as well as stiffness of the construct when exposed to varus-valgus bending forces in proximal humerus fractures. buff.ly/3IaO08L #proximalhumerus #fracture #allograft

PRP injections seem to reduce the histological severity grade of some parts (i.e., posterior synovial membrane changes) of the secondary frozen shoulder without causing any side effects in an in vivo shoulder contracture model. buff.ly/3sQLjTj #shouldercontracture #prp

Radiographic changes in the distal ulna in non-rheumatoid patients with extensor digitorum communis ruptures. buff.ly/3ok1nf9 #wrist #handsurgery #edcrupture

Since "the quads" are getting more and more popular: Quadriceps and hamstring tendon autografts yield comparably good results in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. buff.ly/3IDsadO #acl #reconstruction #graftchoice #hamstring #quadriceps

Coronal imbalance towards the convex side appears to a risk factors for failure after posterior scoliosis correction osteotomy. buff.ly/3IA1qLk #scoliosis #osteotomy #riskfactor

Mechanical irritation and impingement of the iliopsoas tendon is an important diagnosis to be considered in persistent groin pain after total hip arthroplasty and can be treated arthroscopically. buff.ly/3KG4bN5 #arthroscopy #iliopsoas #goinpain #tenotomy

Total joint replacement is a safe procedure in patients with Arthrogyposis multiplex congenital that effectively improves function and reduces pain irrespective of preoperative ambulatory status. buff.ly/35hpIeB #jointreplacement #tha #amc

Patient-specific total knee arthroplasty is a copy of the bony knee morphology based on a pre-op computer tomography. Read why PSI is still on the rise! buff.ly/3Dxe9MR #knee #arthroplasty #psi #individualization

TKA might not be the only solution for every patient with knee osteoarthritis, if personalized medicine wants to be offered. Read from options besides TKA buff.ly/3nxTWRw #tka #knee #arthroplasty #individualization
