Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been successfully applied for the treatment of the knee pathology at the end stage such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although TKA has became a very mature technology, some patients still suffer from the persistent pain after surgery. ⋯ Only when the cause of pain is judged accurately, can the operation and other factors be estimated correctly, determining the appropriate treatment methods. In the article, the causes of the post-operative pain after TKA are reviewed, which may be helpful to study the causes of the pain, and to decrease the occurrence incidence of pain.

To study effects of body mass index (BMI) on postoperative outcome in patients with osteoarthritis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ The KSS increases in all the different groups. Those patients get the benefit from TKA, and the obese patients can receive a similar postoperative outcome as the non-obese ones.

To study technique and clinical therapeutic effects of internal fixation with three-column plates for the treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures through antero-midline and postero-medial approaches. ⋯ Three-column plate internal fixation for the treatment of complex tibial plateau fractures through antero-midline and posteromedial approaches is effective to achieve anatomic reduction,rigid internal fixation and early functional exercise.

To summarize our experiences in the treatment of type C3 (AO/OTA) distal radius fractures fixed with AO 2.4 mm locking plates combined with percutaneous pinning after manipulative reduction. ⋯ Type C3 (AO/OTA) distal radius fractures could be managed with manipulative reduction. Locking plate internal fixation combined with percutaneous pinning can offer enough support for early mobilization and rehabilitation, resulting in a better clinical outcome and satisfactory prognosis.

To compare therapeutic effects of local injection with autoallergic platelet rich plasma (PRP) or autoallergic whole blood (AWB) for the treatment of chronic tennis elbow. ⋯ PRP and AWB injections are both effective to treat chronic lateral epicondylitis. Compared with AWB injection, PRP injection may be more effective in releasing pain and improving function for a longer time.
