Influence of anxiety and pain catastrophizing on the course of pain within the first year after uncomplicated total knee replacement: a prospective study.
Prolonged postoperative pain is a frequent problem after uncomplicated total knee replacement (TKR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of anxiety and pain catastrophizing on postoperative pain after TKR. ⋯ Psychopathologic factors, particularly pain catastrophizing, have an impact on postoperative pain after TKR. Preoperative screening and concurrent treatment of the diagnosed psychological disorder may improve patient-perceived outcomes.

Detecting cam-type deformities on plain radiographs: what is the optimal lateral view?
Radial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most accurate diagnostic tool in assessing cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. Plain radiographs, however, are useful for the initial diagnosis in the daily practice and there is still debate regarding the optimal lateral view. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of detecting cam deformities using the frog-leg view or the 45° Dunn view by comparison with radial MRI. ⋯ The frog-leg lateral radiograph does not provide reliable measurements of the alpha angle. This study highlights the importance of the 45° Dunn view for early detection of femoroacetabular cam-type impingement.

Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for type I fracture sequelae after internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.
Complications after internal fixation of proximal humerus fracture are common and may require surgical revision. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is frequently performed in such cases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional results and complications after RTSA for the treatment of type I fracture sequelae after internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures. ⋯ Satisfying results can be obtained with RTSA as a salvage procedure for type I fracture sequelae after previous internal fixation of proximal humerus fractures.

Correction to: Predictors of outcomes after arthroscopic transosseous equivalent rotator cuff repair in 155 cases: a propensity score weighted analysis of knotted and knotless self-reinforcing repair techniques at a minimum of 2 years.
The author claims that his name is wrongly listed on PubMed. It seems, that first and last name have been mixed up. Correct first name is: J. Christoph (on PubMed: J.).

No influence of obesity on survival of cementless, posterior-stabilised, rotating-platform implants.
This study compares survival and outcomes in four total knee arthroplasty (TKA) populations defined by baseline body mass index (BMI). We hypothesised that there would be no difference in survival between the groups. ⋯ Obesity does not affect mid-term implant survival, irrespective of BMI, but has a negative influence on functional outcomes and potential risk of postoperative complications.
