  Exploring gender disparities: a survey among orthopedic residents

  Sep 15, 20266 min

  Despite increasing representation in the medical field, orthopedic surgery remains a specialty with notable gender disparities. The recent survey evaluating perceived discrimination found that 84.8% of female respondents were told they were unsuitable for the field solely due to their gender. Furthermore, 85% of women reported experiencing verbal or physical harassment from superiors or patients. While training opportunities appear fairly distributed, addressing these cultural attitudes through mentorship and targeted policies is essential to foster an equitable environment.

  Three dimensional printing in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: current evidence and future directions Dinh Nhat Vu

  Sep 12, 20267 min

  This review evaluates the clinical utility of patient-specific instrumentation, custom implants, and additively manufactured components in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. A meta-analysis of multiple studies comprising 444 knees did not reduce alignment outliers, and patient-specific guides required conversion to standard instruments in 13% of cases. Conversely, an analysis of consecutive cementless components demonstrated a survivorship of 93.6% for any revision and 94.9% for mechanical failure. Surgeons should reserve custom guides for specific anatomic mismatches rather than adopting them routinely.

  Short-term outcomes of robotic versus conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: evidence from a national database

  Sep 11, 20267 min

  Robotic-arm unicompartmental knee arthroplasty aims to improve precision, but comparative data on adverse events remains limited. This retrospective analysis found that the rate of adverse events was lower for the robotic patient group (3.7%) than for those who underwent conventional surgery (13.2%). Specifically, the robotic approach was associated with the odds ratio of 0.08 for implant malposition or failure. However, there were No significant differences in total hospital costs, length of stay, or readmission rates between the groups. Surgeons should weigh these safety benefits against initial access costs when planning partial knee replacements.

  Management of complex regional pain syndrome in trauma and orthopaedic surgery—a systematic review

  Sep 10, 20266 min

  This systematic review asked which treatments actually help patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after trauma or orthopaedic surgery. Because study designs varied so widely, findings could not be pooled and are reported per individual study. Diclofenac lowered pain scores to 4.9 in neuropathic pain patients, and continuous lidocaine infusion brought meaningful pain reduction in 76% of refractory patients, with a further study of IV lidocaine showing thermal pain reduction of 62.5% in subjects. Sympathetic and nerve blockade approaches were also effective: Four patients given nerve block plus pamidronate had full resolution, 61% of patients had good relief with phentolamine block, and early sympathectomy after injury gave permanent relief in 100% of patients, with sympathectomy overall curing 91% of cases. Bisphosphonates also showed benefit, with a clinical response in 71.5% of CRPS-I patients treated intravenously. Clinicians should pursue early multidisciplinary management, combining physiotherapy with targeted pharmacological and interventional options rather than delaying treatment.

  Outcomes of primary total hip arthroplasty using dual mobility cups across body mass index categories: a multi-centric cohort study

  Sep 8, 20265 min

  This multi-centric cohort asked whether dual mobility cups perform as well in overweight and obese patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty as in normal weight patients. Included patients underwent surgery at a mean age of mean 70 ± 13.19 years and were followed for a mean follow-up period of mean nine ± 6.2 years. Functional scores were excellent across groups, with the obese subgroup reaching a mean 89.24 ± 4.40 on the modified Harris Hip Score. In the overweight and obese subgroups combined, Three traumatic dislocations occurred, and Two obesity patients needed additional surgery for a septic adverse event. Radiographs showed only 4 cases of non-progressive, asymptomatic osteolysis, and heterotopic ossification was seen in 15 asymptomatic patients, with Three patients sustaining a traumatic periprosthetic fracture overall. These findings suggest functional outcomes and adverse event rates with dual mobility cups are comparable between overweight, obese and normal weight patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty.
