Anatomical total knee arthroplasty alignment versus conventional mechanical alignment; or a combination?

The April 2013 Knee Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: graft tension and outcome; chondrocytes at the midterm; pre-operative deformity and failure; the designer effect; whether chondroitin sulphate really does work; whether ACL reconstruction is really required; analgesia after TKR; and degenerative meniscus.

The June 2014 Hip & Pelvis Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Modular femoral necks: early signs are not good; is corrosion to blame for modular neck failures; metal-on-metal is not quite a closed book; no excess failures in fixation of displaced femoral neck fractures; noise no problem in hip replacement; heterotopic ossification after hip arthroscopy: are NSAIDs the answer?; thrombotic and bleeding events surprisingly low in total joint replacement; and the elephant in the room: complications and surgical volume.

The February 2014 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: flexible plasters; dual 8-plate or ablation for knee epiphysiodesis; ultrasounds for pulled elbow; leg length without the radiation; Boyd amputation in limb deficiencies; gold standard club foot treatment; quadrupled semitendinosis graft effective in paediatric ACL reconstruction; and predicting complications following cerebral palsy hip reconstruction

The October 2013 Knee Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Make it easy, release the MCL; Do patients remember clinical information in day surgery?; Osteoarthritis and arthroscopy?; How best to double your bundles; When to operate for infection; Cementless unicompartment knee replacement?; Tibial tubercle-trochlear groove confusion; Tarts, cherries and osteoarthritis

The February 2013 Knee Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: mobile-bearing TKRs; arthroscopic ACL reconstruction; the use of chondrocytes for osteochondral defects; ACL reconstruction and the return to pivoting sports; ACLs and the MOON study; the benefit of knee navigation; and trabecular metal.

The October 2012 Wrist & Hand Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: osteoarticular flaps to the PIPJ; prognosis after wrist arthroscopy; adipofascial flaps and post-traumatic adhesions; the torn TFCC alone; ulna-shortening osteotomy for ulnar impaction syndrome; Dupuytren’s disease; when a wrist sprain is not a sprain; and shrinking the torn intercarpal ligament.

The June 2012 Knee Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: ACI and mosaicplasty; ACI after microfracture; exercise therapy and the degenerate medial meniscal tear; intra-articular bupivacaine or ropivacaine at knee arthroscopy; lateral trochlear inclination and patellofemoral osteoarthritis; bone loss and ACL reconstruction; assessing stability using the contralateral knee; tranexamic acid and a useful review of knee replacement.

The August 2012 Knee Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: meniscal defects and a polyurethane scaffold; which is best between a single or double bundle; OA of the knee; how to resolve anterior knee pain; whether yoga can be bad for your menisci; metal ions in the serum; whether ACI is any good; the ACL; whether hyaluronic acid delays collagen degradation; and hyaluronan and patellar tendinopathy.
