Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Correlation between histological outcome and surgical cartilage repair technique in the knee: A meta-analysis.
Compare histological outcomes after microfracture (MF), autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS). ⋯ IV, meta-analysis.

Recently, a new technique, dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) was introduced for the acute repair of ACL ruptures. The purpose of this study was to report the functional recovery for patients undergoing acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair alongside DIS. ⋯ DIS technique with proper rehabilitation following acute ACL rupture provides successful functional recovery and low rerupture rate at one-year follow-up.

Patient reported outcome measures are widely used in the evaluation of outcomes after Total Knee Replacement (TKR) in joint registries and large studies. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the Oxford knee score (OKS) and range of motion (ROM) after TKR, and to construct and validate prediction models of ROM from the measured OKS. ⋯ The OKS is an independent predictor of ROM after TKR. It is also possible to predict ROM from the OKS, but the reliability of this is improved when other independent predictors such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and degree of knee extension are also acknowledged.

To evaluate whether single-leaf partial meniscectomy in horizontal tears along the entire discoid lateral meniscus has any advantages in clinical and radiological results compared with other meniscectomies in discoid lateral meniscus. ⋯ Level III, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure resulting in significant post-operative pain. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis targeting the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve and anterior femoral cutaneous nerve could relieve post-operative knee pain by temporarily blocking sensory nerve conduction. ⋯ III.
