Anemia, Abnormal Body Mass Index, and Sarcopenia Increase Complication Risk in Patients Undergoing Surgical Treatment for Metastatic Bone Disease

open access: yesJournal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Metastatic bone disease (MBD) is a common complication of primary cancers and is typically managed surgically. Overall health status and nutritional optimization are essential in surgical outcomes. The objective of this study was to report the intersectionality of previously studied laboratory, imaging, and clinical ...

Improved quadriceps efficiency with a medial pivot in comparison to a cruciate‐retaining design in total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The posterior cruciate‐retaining (CR) design offers rotational freedom but risks abnormal kinematics and instability. The medial pivot (MP) design mimics native joint motion with a high‐conformity medial and flat lateral interface. Within clinical studies, the MP design outclassed the CR design, but biomechanical studies are lacking ...

Mean distraction force applied in tension‐controlled ligament‐balanced total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Proper tension of the collateral ligaments is the key to success in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study aimed to identify the distraction force for the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments in tension‐controlled ligament‐balanced TKA at 0° and 90° of knee flexion. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed up to 31
