A Metabolomic Signature Predicts Gout Flare Clinical Outcome Associated With Colchicine Prophylaxis
Objective This study investigated that serum metabolomics, before urate‐lowering therapy (ULT) initiation, could serve as a biomarker for responsiveness to colchicine prophylaxis in patients with gout commencing treat‐to‐target ULT. Methods We studied a multicenter prospective cohort (n = 409) initiating treat‐to‐target ULT plus colchicine prophylaxis.

ANK1 and EPB41 Variants and the Risk of Steroid‐Induced Osteonecrosis
Objective Steroid‐induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a refractory skeletal disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, conclusive pathogenic genetic evidence remains elusive due to the limited exploration of rare damaging variants. In this study, we aimed to identify rare variants associated with SONFH.

Abstract Surgical repair of complex meniscal tears can be quite challenging, especially in the case of a failed meniscus repair. In this setting, meniscal volume may be lost, leading to an increased risk of osteoarthritis development. To prevent this from occurring, care should be taken to revise these complex tears using an inside‐out technique ...

Arthroscopic Repair of the Anterior Root of the Lateral Meniscus Using Knotless All‐Suture Anchors
Abstract Anterior root tears of the lateral meniscus are uncommon but can significantly disrupt knee biomechanics by increasing contact pressures and accelerating cartilage degeneration if left untreated. This article describes an arthroscopic technique for repair of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus using all‐suture anchors.
