Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty does not follow the same trajectory as its medial counterpart. New data comparing 90-day and five-year outcomes across lateral UKA, medial UKA, and total knee arthroplasty reveals a more complex picture. bit.ly/46PxFUZ

Irreparable hip abductor tears present a significant reconstructive challenge. A new systematic review and meta-analysis from @MarioHevesiMD @RafaSierra5 @Graham_Goh @MayoClinic evaluates the clinical outcomes of allograft-based reconstruction, offering surgeons a clearer picture of what this approach can achieve. bit.ly/3T8RYJZ

Postoperative nausea and vomiting can have a meaningful impact on recovery after joint replacement. A new randomized controlled trial found that ondansetron oral soluble pellicles effectively reduced its incidence following primary total joint arthroplasty. bit.ly/4hh6it5

VTE chemoprophylaxis is standard after knee replacement, but could it affect functional recovery? A new study evaluates the impact of postoperative anticoagulation on range of motion following total knee arthroplasty. bit.ly/4xKN4kp
