Higher than expected rates of tibial loosening with the ATTUNE® total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant has been reported. Component loosening can be associated with the development of radiolucency lines (RLL) and our study aim was to systematically assess the reported rates of these. A systematic search was undertaken using the Cochrane methodology in four online databases. Identified studies were assessed and screened against predetermined inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model.Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effect of PRP on knee articular cartilage content (thickness and/or volume) and establish if there is a correlation between changes in cartilage and clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A systematic review was performed following the Cochrane methodology. Studies were included if they reported on cartilage content with MRI or Ultrasound before and after the injection.
