Return to recreational sports activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a one- to six-year follow-up study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate mid-term return to recreational sport in general population and identify factors related with sports return. ⋯ The results suggest good mid-term return to recreational sports in general population. The following factors had a statistically significant influence on the return to sports activity: type of sport, sex and functional state of the operated knee (IKDC-Lysholm). Psychological and social factors may have a fundamental influence on return to sports activity.

Thermal necrosis induced by electrocauterization as a local adjuvant therapy in local aggressive bone tumors, what is the safe limit for surgical margins? An experimental study.
In the current study, it was aimed to investigate the temperature change in the cavity wall and pathologic necrosis occurred during cauterization, which was applied at different voltages and time intervals. ⋯ Experimental animal study, Level II.

Erratum to: The effect of postoperative wound infections on functional outcome following intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Erratum to: Arch Orthop Trauma Surg DOI 10.1007/s00402-015-2219-5. The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake and has been corrected. ⋯ Carel Goslings' family name has been published incorrectly. The correct family name should be Goslings.

Radiographic diagnosis of sagittal plane rotational displacement in pelvic fractures: a cadaveric model and clinical case study.
Our objective was to measure the sagittal plane rotational (flexion and extension) displacement of hemipelvis radiologically and analyze the ratio of flexion and extension displacement of unstable pelvic fractures. ⋯ The sagittal plane rotation (flexion and extension) displacement of pelvic fractures could be measured by special points and lines on the radiographs. Minimally invasive reduction should be based on clearly identified differences between the sagittal plane rotation and the vertical displacement of pelvic fractures.

Review Meta AnalysisAdverse effects associated with the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty: a Bayesian meta-analysis.
The direct anterior approach (DAA) is an increasingly popular technique for performing total hip arthroplasty (THA). This muscle-sparing approach may yield functional benefits. However, DAA has been associated with an increased risk incidence (RI) of intra- and postoperative complications. ⋯ DAA is a technically demanding procedure, with outcomes possibly indicative of surgeon learning curve. A risk for intra-operative fractures and LCFN is evident, although the risk for other adverse effects is comparable to those with other approaches.
