This study was performed to investigate the influence of a standard Oxford vertical cut on the coronal coverage and rotation of the tibial component and determine whether a relationship exists between coverage and rotation.

Effect of vertical cut on coronal coverage and rotation of tibial component in Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

High fever, knee swelling and pain after knee arthroplasty are often considered as symptoms of acute prosthetic joint infection. However, similar symptoms can also present as primary manifestations of adult-onset Still's disease, which creates some interference in differential diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first published case of misdiagnosis of adult Still's disease after total knee arthroplasty, who was initially misdiagnosed as an prosthetic joint infection due to the above-mentioned symptoms. The symptoms of the knee infection was not relieve after several revisions and continous antibiotic treatment. Finally, after several consultations and repeated evaluation it was diagnosed as adult-onset Still's disease.

An elderly female with adult-onset Still's disease initially misdiagnosed as prosthetic joint infection after total knee arthroplasty: lessons in differential diagnosis and treatment.

Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) requires full-thickness cartilage in the lateral compartment, but slight damage of the cartilage surface can be ignored. However, as this statement lacks literature support, we investigated whether slight cartilage damages in the weight-bearing area of the lateral femoral condyle would affect the outcome of mUKAs.

Slight cartilage damage in weight-bearing area of lateral femoral condyle do not compromise short-term outcomes of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Many patients following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) also suffer from diabetes mellitus, which may lead to an increased likelihood of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Therefore, we evaluated whether DVT incidence would increase 3 days following UKA in diabetic patients.

Does diabetes mellitus increase the incidence of early thrombosis in deep vein following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study.

Hybrid construction (HC) may be an ideal surgical strategy than noncontinuous total disc replacement (TDR) and noncontinuous anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in the treatment of noncontinuous cervical spondylopathy. However, there is still no consensus on the segmental selection for ACDF or TDR in HC. The study aims to analyse the effects of different segment selection of TDR and ACDF on cervical biomechanical characteristics after HC surgery.
