The October 2015 Knee Roundup360 looks at: Allergy and outcome in arthroplasty; Physiotherapy and drains not such a bad combination?; Another nail in the coffin for arthroscopists?; Graft precondition hocus pocus; Extended dose steroids in knee arthritis?; Indolent peri-prosthetic infection; Computer modelling and medial knee arthritis

The August 2014 Spine Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: rhBMP complicates cervical spine surgery; posterior longitudinal ligament revisited; thoracolumbar posterior instrumentation without fusion in burst fractures; risk modelling for VTE events in spinal surgery; the consequences of dural tears in microdiscectomy; trends in revision spinal surgery; radiofrequency denervation likely effective in facet joint pain and hooks optimally biomechanically transition posterior instrumentation.

The June 2015 Research Roundup360 looks at: Tranexamic acid: just give it – it’s not important how!; The anterolateral ligament re-examined; Warfarin a poor post-operative agent; Passive exoskeleton the orthosis of the future?; Musculoskeletal medicine: a dark art to UK medical students?; Alendronic acid and bone density post arthroplasty; Apples with oranges? Knee functional scores revisited

The April 2014 Research Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: scientific writing needed in orthopaedic papers; antiseptics and osteoblasts; thromboembolic management in orthopaedic patients; nicotine and obesity in post-operative complications; defining the “Patient Acceptable Symptom State”; and cheap and nasty implants of poor quality.

The August 2014 Shoulder & Elbow Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Myofibroblasts perhaps not implicated in post-traumatic elbow stiffness; olecranon tip biomechanically sound for coranoid reconstruction; obesity and elbow replacement don’t mix; single column plating successful for extra-articular distal humeral fractures; satisfaction not predictable in frozen shoulder; tenodesis and repair both acceptable in Grade II SLAP tears; glenoid bone grafting is effective and glenohumeral articular lesions best seen with an arthroscope.

The October 2014 Trauma Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: proximal humeral fractures in children; quadrilateral surface plates in transverse acetabular fractures; sleep deprivation and poor outcomes in trauma; bipolar hemiarthroplasty; skeletal traction; forefoot fractures; telemedicine in trauma; ketamine infusion for orthopaedic injuries; and improved functional outcomes seen with trauma networks.

The April 2012 Research Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at who is capable of being an arthroscopist, bupivacaine, triamcinolone and chondrotoxicity, reducing scarring in injured skeletal muscle, horny Goat Weed and the repair of osseous defects, platelet-derived growth factor and fracture healing, the importance of the reserve zone in a child’s growth plate, coping with advanced arthritis, hydroxyapatite and platelet-rich plasma for bone defects, and calcium phosphate and bone regeneration
