Postoperative blood transfusion remains a significant concern following total knee arthroplasty. Clinical prediction models can facilitate early identification of patients at risk, enabling targeted blood management to reduce unnecessary transfusions and related complications. However, the […]

Radiation therapy (RT) is a standard treatment for primitive and metastatic cancers. However, it may cause adverse effects on organs and bones surrounding the target volumes. Therefore, patients with prior pelvic RT pose challenges for total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aims to summarize the […]

Intermedullary nailing (IMN) is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of extra-articular tibial fractures. The suprapatellar (SP) nailing approach offers several advantages over the conventional infrapatellar (IP) approach. However, most existing evidence is derived from retrospective […]

Kinesio(®) Tex tape (KTT) is used in a variety of clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of KTT from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the management of clinical conditions. A systematic literature search of CINAHL; MEDLINE; OVID; AMED; SCIENCE DIRECT; […]

Traditional pharmacological treatments for osteoporosis face challenges due to various limitations, including long-term safety concerns and limited bone anabolic effects. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have emerged as a promising cell-free alternative therapy. […]

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between perioperative bisphosphonate (BP) use and implant survival in total joint arthroplasty (TJA)./r/nLiterature in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was systematically searched until May 2024, and studies were reviewed. Eligible […]

Ameloblastoma (AB) are aggressive odontogenic tumors, often treated with wide marginal resection and concurrent reconstruction. Extended total temporomandibular joint replacement (eTMJR) prosthesis is a viable treatment option for reconstruction of large defects caused by resection of AB tumors. […]

Despite the growing use of computer-navigated and robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA), uncertainty remains regarding their outcomes compared with manual THA. Therefore, we implemented the concept of reverse fragility index (RFI) to assess the statistical robustness of available randomized […]
