Aims. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate machine-learning-based computerized adaptive tests (CATs) for the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS), and the Oxford
Aims. To evaluate the outcomes of terrible triad injuries (TTIs) in mid-term follow-up and determine whether surgical treatment of the radial head influences clinical and radiological outcomes. Methods. Follow-up assessment of 88 patients with TTI (48 women, 40 men; mean age 57 years (18 to 82)) was performed after a mean of 4.5 years (2.0 to 9.4). The Mayo
Aims. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of two radiocapitellar prostheses in a large case series followed prospectively, with medium-term follow-up. Patients and Methods. A total of 31 patients with a mean age of 54 years (27 to 73) were analyzed; nine had primary osteoarthritis (OA) and 17 had post-traumatic OA, three had capitellar osteonecrosis, and two had a fracture. Overall, 17 Lateral Resurfacing
Aims. Improvements in the evaluation of outcomes following peripheral nerve injury are needed. Recent studies have identified muscle fatigue as an inevitable consequence of muscle reinnervation. This study aimed to quantify and characterize muscle fatigue within a standardized surgical model of muscle reinnervation. Patients and Methods. This retrospective cohort study included 12 patients who underwent Oberlin nerve transfer in an attempt to restore flexion of the

Aims. The aim of the study was to analyze the results of primary tendon
reinsertion in acute and chronic distal triceps tendon ruptures
(DTTRs) in the general population. Patients and Methods. A total of 28 patients were operated on for primary DTTR reinsertions,
including 21 male patients and seven female patients with a mean
age of 45 years (14 to 76). Of these patients, 23 sustained an acute
DTTR and five had a chronic injury. One patient had a non-simultaneous
bilateral DTTR. Seven patients had DTTR-associated ipsilateral fracture
or dislocation. Comorbidities were present in four patients. Surgical
treatment included transosseous and suture-anchors reinsertion in
22 and seven DTTRs, respectively. The clinical evaluation was performed
