Multicenter StudyPredictors of functional recovery following surgical repair of quadriceps tendon rupture: insights from a German multicentre study.
More extensive and cohesive studies on quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) repair surgery are required to guide effective treatment strategies. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to identify predictors of subjective functional recovery following QTR repair surgery. ⋯ IV-Retrospective cohort study without a comparison group.

Multicenter StudyTotal hip arthroplasty was found to be safe in Jehovah's Witness patients: a multi-centered matched study.
Jehovah's Witness patients refuse blood transfusion because of their religious beliefs making total hip arthroplasty (THA) challenging. This study aims to determine the safety of THA in Jehovah's Witness patients using standard perioperative protocols as well as evaluate the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) in controlling blood loss. ⋯ Level III Evidence.

Multicenter StudyStepping up recovery: integrating patient reported outcome measures and wearable technology for 90-day rehabilitation following total hip arthroplasty.
There is conflicting data in the literature regarding the clinical utility of wearable devices. This study examined the association between patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and step and stair flight counts obtained from wearable devices in postoperative total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. ⋯ The utilization of wearable technology can enhance the evaluation of patient outcomes after THA, primarily due to the observed correlation between data collected from wearables and PROMs. Our study highlights the importance of the use of objective data, in addition to subjective patient reported data, when analyzing postoperative patient progress, which propels forward the field of postoperative THA patient care.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyPeriprocedural clinical outcomes of revision hip arthroplasty: a multi-centric comparison of current strategies based on the NSQIP.
Recent projections suggest a substantial rise in demand for revision total hip arthroplasties, emphasizing the need for optimized perioperative care. Various revision techniques, such as isolated acetabular or femoral component revisions and total replacements, have garnered attention. Further research is needed to establish the most effective strategies for improving clinical outcomes. ⋯ The study's significance lies in its extensive patient cohort and multifaceted evaluation of revision strategies. Although consensus is lacking on single-component revisions, targeting the acetabulum component appears relatively safer. Continued research and individualized evaluations are crucial for refining revision strategies and optimizing outcomes in THA revisions.
