In 300 revision arthroplasties, point-of-care IL-6 reached an AUC of 0.83, and combining it with D-dimer raised diagnostic accuracy to an AUC of 0.92, approaching laboratory-based IL-6 (AUC 0.94) at a fraction of the cost of alpha-defensin.

Cartilage repaired with spheroid-based matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation plus autologous bone grafting reached an average thickness of 3.4 mm with T2 relaxation times in the physiological range after a mean follow-up of 3.7 years.

A smaller tibial tunnel angle, more anterior tibial tunnel placement, a steeper lateral tibial plateau slope, and a higher lateral femoral condyle index were independently associated with graft rerupture in a matched comparison.

In 360 meniscus allograft transplantations with a mean follow-up of 8.8 years, female patients who received a meniscus from a male donor had a graft failure rate of 38.9%, compared with 7% to 9% across other donor-recipient sex combinations.

Functional alignment in robotic-assisted TKA achieved consistently high patient-reported outcomes at a mean follow-up of 2.5 years in a systematic review and meta-analysis with KSS Knee scores of 92.4 to 94.5 and FJS of 74.8 to 77.5.

Preserving both cruciate ligaments in total knee arthroplasty may bring patients closer to the "forgotten knee": at 5 years, bi-cruciate retaining TKA achieved better FJS, WOMAC, and pain scores than matched CR-TKA.

Conversion from UKA to TKA showed no significant difference in periprosthetic joint infection rates compared with primary TKA (0.66% vs. 0.70%) in a meta-analysis of six studies and 1,175 patients.

In a randomized, triple-blinded trial of 72 patients at high risk of venous thromboembolism undergoing ACL reconstruction, fondaparinux sodium produced lower D-dimer levels than enoxaparin on postoperative days 3, 7, and 13.

Peroneus longus tendon harvest for ACL reconstruction preserves ankle function remarkably well, with pooled AOFAS scores staying above 96 out of 100 from 6 months through 2 years across more than 1,000 patients in 20 studies.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has long relied on correcting glenoid retroversion to neutral, but growing evidence suggests this rigid target may be unnecessary and even counterproductive for bone preservation and implant fixation.
