Recommendations for resuming elective hip and knee arthroplasty in the setting of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: the European Hip Society and European Knee Associates Survey of Members.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the health care system around the entire globe. A consensus is needed about resuming total hip and knee procedures. The European Hip Society (EHS) and the European Knee Association (EKA) formed a panel of experts that have produced a consensus statement on how the safe re-introduction of elective hip and knee arthroplasty should be undertaken. ⋯ The survey has shown good-to-excellent agreement of the participants with regards to the statements made in the recommendations for the safe return to elective arthroplasty following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do the increment of femoral condyle curvature and the change of tibia shape improve clinical outcome in total knee arthroplasty? A propensity score matching analysis.
Recently, the Persona total knee arthroplasty (TKA) system with more anatomical features and a similarly high flexion to the previous version, LPS-Flex, was introduced and is widely used. This study aimed to compare the early outcomes obtained using Persona versus an LPS-Flex fixed PS implant. ⋯ III.
