Is there a relationship between static postural control and core stability? A cross-sectional study in soccer players with groin pain

Fatma Chaari, Abderrahmane Rahmani, Haithem Rebai, Thouraya Fendri, Sonia Sahli, Sebastien Boyas

Summary: This study aimed to assess the static postural control and core stability in soccer players suffering from groin pain (GP), and explore the relationship between these two parameters. The results showed that soccer players with GP demonstrated disorders in static postural control compared to their peers, but these impairments were not associated with measures of core stability.

Preoperative COVID-19 infection status negatively impacts postoperative outcomes of geriatric hip fracture surgery

Mohamed Elbuzidi, Alyssa N. Wenzel, Andrew Harris, Majd Marrache, Julius K. Oni, Harpal S. Khanuja, Vishal Hegde

Summary: A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to compare outcomes for patients with recently diagnosed COVID-19 infection and those without COVID-19 infection undergoing operative treatment of hip fractures. The results showed that COVID-19-positive patients had a higher risk of 30-day mortality, pneumonia, unplanned intubation, septic shock, longer length of hospital stay, and discharge to an acute care hospital. Active COVID-19 infection is an independent risk factor for complications and increased resource utilization in these patients.

In-hospital complications of work-related musculoskeletal injuries

Win Wah, Janneke Berecki-Gisolf, Karen Walker-Bone

Summary: This study aimed to identify the incidence and factors associated with in-hospital complications of work-related musculoskeletal injuries. The results showed that age, gender, area-level disadvantage, hospital type, comorbidity, emergency admissions, anesthesia, and the type of injury were all associated with in-hospital complications. The most common complications were cardiovascular, gastrointestinal complications and adverse drug events.

The interaction effect of different footwear types and static navicular drop or dynamic ankle pronation on the joint stiffness of the lower limb during running

Ali Esmaeili, Sayed Esmaeil Hosseininejad, Amirali Jafarnezhadgero, Valdeci Carlos Dionisio

Summary: This study investigates the effects of footwear type, navicular drop and ankle pronation on lower limb joint stiffness during running. The results show that navicular drop and dynamic ankle pronation do not affect joint stiffness, but footwear type significantly affects joint stiffness. Conventional footwear increases ankle and hip joint stiffness while reducing knee joint stiffness, which may have implications for injury risk.

Summary: This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of telephone questionnaires in identifying patients with fracture-related infections (FRIs) after open tibia fracture fixation in Tanzania. The study shows that telephone questionnaires have adequate diagnostic performance, with drainage being the main indicator for FRIs.

Intraoperative tissue sampling for histology in chronic osteomyelitis shows high neutrophil infiltration centrally and low remains in debrided presumed infection-free regions

Louise Kruse Jensen, Henrik Elvang Jensen, Hans Gottlieb

Summary: This study describes the histopathology of debrided bone tissue in chronic osteomyelitis (CO). The inflammatory response still exists after debridement, although it fades from the center. Sampling of debrided bone tissue must be performed initially during surgery to avoid underestimation of neutrophil infiltration.

The effects of a sleeve knee brace during stair negotiation in patients with symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis

K. Doslikova, N. D. Reeves, C. N. Maganaris, V. Baltzopoulos, S. M. P. Verschueren, F. P. Luyten, R. K. Jones, D. T. Felson, M. J. Callaghan

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effect of a sleeve knee brace on knee biomechanics during stair negotiation in patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis patients. The findings showed that the knee brace significantly reduced the maximal flexion angle, adduction angle, sagittal and frontal range of motion, and sagittal peak extension moment during stair ascent. During stair descent, the knee brace significantly reduced the maximal flexion angle and total sagittal range of motion compared to control.

Summary: This study retrospectively summarized the experience of using intraoperative CT navigation system for managing osteoid osteoma in the appendicular skeleton. The results show that intraoperative CT navigation is safe and effective in completely removing the nidus with a negligible complication rate.

Summary: This study compares the postoperative outcomes of ERAS versus non-ERAS Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The results show that the ERAS protocol significantly reduces postoperative day 0 pain score and shortens hospital length of stay, while having no significant impact on range of motion and distance walked on days 1-2.

Summary: Open reduction (OR) is commonly performed for children below 24 months with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who have not achieved satisfactory reduction with closed methods. The choice between a medial and anterior approach for OR in this age group lacks substantial evidence regarding the superior approach with minimal complications.

Effect of a customized safety harness on movement kinematics in a dance-based exergaming among people with chronic stroke

Savitha Subramaniam, Shuaijie Wang, Tanvi Bhatt

Summary: This study investigates the dance movement kinematics of people with chronic stroke under different types of assistance, including no assistance, safety harness assistance, and contact guard assistance with gait belt. The results show that there is a decrease in joint angle excursions in the no assistance condition compared to the safety harness assistance and contact guard assistance conditions for all song paces. The safety harness and contact guard assistance conditions have similar levels of joint angle excursions, except for higher hip (slow and fast pace) and ankle (medium pace) joint angle excursions in the contact guard assistance condition compared to the safety harness assistance condition.

Establishing patient-centered metrics for the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score following medial unicompartmental knee arthropalsty

Ignacio Pasqualini, Michael Mariorenzi, Alison K. Klika, Pedro J. Rullan, Chao Zhang, Trevor G. Murray, Robert M. Molloy, Nicolas S. Piuzzi

Summary: This study aimed to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and the patient acceptable symptoms state (PASS) threshold for the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) pain subscore, KOOS physical short form (PS), and KOOS joint replacement (JR) following medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA). The study identified useful values for the MCID and PASS thresholds at 1 year following medial UKA of KOOS pain, KOOS PS, and KOOS JR scores. These values may be used as targets for surgeons when evaluating PROMS using KOOS to determine whether patients have achieved successful outcomes after their surgical intervention.

Preoperative psychological competitive ability has little relationship with subjective knee function and return to sports at 6 months postoperatively in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Takuya Sengoku, Junsuke Nakase, Rikuto Yoshimizu, Mitsuhiro Kimura, Tomoyuki Kanayama, Goro Sakurai, Shinya Yoshida, Takashi Kitagawa, Katsuhiko Kitaoka, Hiroyuki Tsuchiya

Summary: This prospective study investigated the relationship between preoperative psychological competitive ability and preoperative and 6 months postoperative subjective knee function in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The results showed that psychological competitive ability is not associated with a return to participate in the entire practice, and a low preoperative subjective score should not be viewed too negatively.
