Weight-based tranexamic acid lowers the risk of postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements compared with fixed-dose regimen in revision knee arthroplasty: a comparative study
Joint Disorders 4 min.
Despite significant improvements in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) over the past few decades, patients still encounter complications such as periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), aseptic loosening, and periprosthetic fracture necessitating revision knee arthroplasty. About 2–3% of all TKAs failed...
Clinical and radiographic outcomes of posterior cervical arthrodesis and stabilization via lateral mass screwing and rod fixation: a retrospective study at a tertiary hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Joint Disorders 6 min.
Cervical spine stabilization plays a critical role in managing cervical disorders, with anterior and posterior approaches being commonly utilized. The posterior approach is particularly favored for addressing posterior pathologies, long-segment constructs, and cases requiring upper cervical spine stabilization...
Arthroscopic release of lateral patellar retinaculum for patellofemoral arthrosis
Joint Disorders 3 min.
Patellofemoral arthrosis is a special type of osteoarthritis in the aged people. Most patients have pathological factors such as high patella, excessive Q angle and dysplasia of medial femoral muscle, resulting in increased patellar load and imbalance of lateral soft tissue [1, 2]. Early stage can be...
Consensus-based recommendations for the rehabilitation of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita: an integrated knowledge translation approach

Causes are variable and may include genetic, parental, and environmental...
Treatment of gas-containing lumbar disc cysts via a combination of posterior and extraforaminal approaches in arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal spine surgery: a case report and literature review
Joint Disorders 3 min.
Lumbar disc cysts are located in the epidural space and are contiguous with the intervertebral disc, making them susceptible to misidentification as synovial cysts. Most prior reports have concentrated on synovial cysts [1], whereas only a limited number have documented cysts linked to the intervertebral...
