Use of a raft construct through a locking plate without bone grafting for split-depression tibial plateau fractures.
To review the outcome after open reduction and internal fixation using a periarticular raft construct through a locking plate without bone grafting for split-depression tibial plateau fractures. ⋯ Fixation using a periarticular raft construct through a locking plate without use of a bone graft or bone substitute for split-depression proximal tibial plateau fractures is a viable option.

Case ReportsMini-open transthoracic approach for resection of a calcified herniated thoracic disc and repair of the dural surface with fibrin glue: a case report.
This study reports a case of severe anterior compression of the spinal cord by a calcified herniated thoracic disc at the T9/10 level in a 46-year-old woman. She underwent resection of the calcified herniated thoracic disc and the integrated dura, using a microscopically assisted mini-open transthoracic approach. ⋯ This novel procedure prevented postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. The patient made an excellent recovery, without any complications.

Intra-articular administration of tranexamic acid in total hip arthroplasty.
To evaluate the effectiveness of intraarticular tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during total hip arthroplasty (THA). ⋯ Intra-articular administration of TXA is a cost-effective and safe means to reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusion during THA, without increasing the risk of thromboembolic events.

Local infiltration analgesia versus standard analgesia in total knee arthroplasty.
To compare outcome and cost following local infiltration analgesia (LIA) versus standard analgesia in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ Compared with standard analgesia, LIA results in greater pain relief and improvement in range of motion immediately after TKA, and lower hospital costs.
