Review Meta AnalysisAnatomical and reverse megaprosthesis in proximal humerus reconstructions after oncologic resections: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Anatomic (AN) Endoprosthesis (EPR) reconstructions of the shoulder after intra-articular proximal humerus (Malawer type 1) resections are characterized by early recovery and low complications rate. However, shoulder instability and limited mobility can occur. Reverse shoulder (RS) EPR has been introduced to improve functional outcome. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate shoulder reconstructions with AN or RS EPR after Malawer type 1 resection, comparing complications and functional results. ⋯ Anatomic and reverse shoulder EPR represent safe and effective implants for shoulder reconstruction, with similar implant stability and complication rates. RS EPR significantly improves post-operative ROM and functional outcomes, especially when at least a partial function of the abductor apparatus is preserved.

Multicenter Study10-year follow-up of the Columbus knee prostheses system in a prospective multicenter study.
As endpoint of a prospective multicenter 10-year documentation using the Columbus system, this evaluation carried out results of clinical scores (Knee Society Score and Oxford Knee Score), an evaluation of radiological imaging, survival rates and a collection of complication statistics. ⋯ The endpoint analysis after an observation period of 10 years provided good clinical and radiographic results. In particular, an excellent survival rate of 96.6% after 10 years was demonstrated. The data published in this study are the first to be available in a prospective multicenter study on this system, which leads to a high level of clinical significance.

Randomized Controlled TrialOpen versus arthroscopic release for lateral patellar compression syndrome: a randomized-controlled trial.
Lateral patellar compression syndrome is one of the causes of anterior knee pain in young adults and resulted from tight lateral patellar retinaculum. The aim of our study is to compare between open and arthroscopic release of lateral patellar compression syndrome in relation of functional outcome, time of surgical procedure, length of hospital stays, intraoperative and postoperative complications as bleeding, infection, recurrence, and patellar instability with 2 years of follow-up. ⋯ Both open and arthroscopic lateral release for patients with isolated lateral patellar compression syndrome can be effective surgical procedures, but arthroscopic release can achieve better functional outcome.

Charcot arthropathy (CN) can ultimately lead to limb loss despite appropriate treatment. Initial conservative treatment is the accepted treatment in case of a plantigrade foot. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the mid- to long-term clinical course of CN initially being treated conservatively, and to identify risk factors for reactivation and contralateral development of CN as well as common complications in CN. ⋯ III, long-term retrospective cohort study.
