Abstract
Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and polyethylene (PE) insert thickness between total knee arthroplasty (TKA) systems providing 1 mm and 2 mm increments. Materials and Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 50 patients (100 knees) undergoing same-day or staggered bilateral TKA were randomized to receive a TKA system providing 1 mm increments in one knee (1 mm group) and a TKA system providing 2 mm increments in the other knee (2 mm group). At 2 years postoperatively, Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), range of motion (ROM), and insert thicknesses were compared between the groups. Results: A total of 47 patients (94 knees) participated in follow-up analysis. In each group, patient-reported outcomes improved significantly after TKA (all, p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in patient-reported outcomes. The mean ROM was not significantly different between groups at preoperative and 2-year points. The rate of postoperative flexion contracture ≥ 5° was 2.1% and 4.3%, and the rate of postoperative recurvatum ≥ 5° was 4.3% and 2.1% in the 1 mm group and 2 mm, respectively (all, p = 1.000). Mean insert thickness was significantly thinner in the 1 mm group than the 2 mm group (p = 0.001). The usage rate of a thick insert (≥14 mm) was 12.7% and 38.3% in the 1 mm group and 2 mm group (p = 0.005). Conclusions: The use of a TKA system providing 1 mm PE insert thickness increments offered no clinical benefit in terms of patient reported outcomes over systems with 2 mm increments at 2 years of follow-up. However, the TKA system with 1 mm increments showed significantly thinner PE insert usage. As a theoretical advantage of 1 mm increments has yet to be proven, the mid- to long-term effects of thinner PE insert usage must be determined.

Abstract
(1) Background: A cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a recent and an increasingly popular innovation that enhances porous fixation surfaces. However, the lack of cemented sealing of an exposed resected bone has raised concerns about the potential for greater blood loss. The goals of this study were to determine if a cementless approach impacts post-TKA hemodynamics and to identify risk factors for blood loss in instances of cementless (vs. cemented) TKAs under a contemporary patient blood management (PBM) protocol. (2) Methods: We recruited 153 consecutive patients undergoing unilateral TKAs between 2019 and 2023. All enrollees received cementless or cemented prostheses of the same design (cementless, 87; cemented, 66). After propensity score matching for demographics, there were 46 patients in each group. We then compared blood loss metrics (total [TBL] and estimated [EBL]), drainage volumes, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and transfusion rates by group. (3) Results: Post-TKA hemodynamics (i.e., TBL, EBL, drainage, Hb level, and transfusion rate) of cementless (n = 46) and cemented (n = 46) TKA groups did not differ significantly. In addition, the proportions of patients with Hb drops > 3.0 g/dL were similar for the two groups. A logistic regression analysis revealed that only preoperative Hb and EBL during the early postoperative period were predictive of a substantial fall in Hb levels. The fixation method was not associated with Hb decline > 3.0 g/dL by postoperative Day 3. (4) Conclusion: The cementless TKA has no impact on customary post-TKA hemodynamics and is not associated with greater TKA-related blood loss when implementing a contemporary PBM protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular injection of autologous culture-expanded adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) has introduced a promising treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. Although the clinical efficacy and safety of ADMSCs have been reported, the treatment remains controversial owing to the small sample sizes and heterogeneous osteoarthritis grades in previous studies. PURPOSE To assess the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injection of ADMSCs as compared with placebo in alleviating pain and improving functional capacity in a large sample of patients with knee osteoarthritis of Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS This phase III multicenter clinical trial was a double-blind randomized controlled study that included 261 patients with K-L grade 3 symptomatic knee osteoarthritis who were administered a single injection of autologous culture-expanded ADMSCs or placebo. Clinical data were assessed at baseline and at 3 and 6 months after the injection. The primary endpoints were improvements in 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for function at 6 months after the injection. The secondary endpoints included clinical and radiologic examinations and safety after injection. The changes in cartilage defects after injection were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging at 6 months. RESULTS The ADMSC and control groups included 125 and 127 patients available for follow-up, respectively. At 6 months, the ADMSC group showed significantly better improvements in 100-mm VAS (ADMSC vs control, 25.2 vs 15.5; P = .004) and total WOMAC score (21.7 vs 14.3; P = .002) as compared with the control group. The linear mixed model analysis indicated significantly better improvements in all clinical outcomes in the ADMSC group after 6 months. At 6 months, the ADMSC group achieved significantly higher proportions of patients above the minimal clinically important difference in 100-mm VAS and WOMAC score. Radiologic outcomes and adverse events did not demonstrate significant differences between the groups. No serious treatment-related adverse events were observed. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed no significant difference in change of cartilage defects between the groups at 6 months. CONCLUSION Intra-articular injection of autologous culture-expanded ADMSCs provided significant pain relief and functional improvements in patients with K-L grade 3 osteoarthritis. Long-term results are needed to determine the disease-modifying effects of ADMSCs, such as structural changes, and the duration of effect of intra-articular injection of ADMSCs in knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the loosening of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants could be detected accurately on plain radiographs using a deep convolution neural network (CNN). (2) Methods: We analyzed data for 100 patients who underwent revision TKA due to prosthetic loosening at a single institution from 2012 to 2020. We extracted 100 patients who underwent primary TKA without loosening through a propensity score, matching for age, gender, body mass index, operation side, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class. Transfer learning was used to prepare a detection model using a pre-trained Visual Geometry Group (VGG) 19. For transfer learning, two methods were used. First, the fully connected layer was removed, and a new fully connected layer was added to construct a new model. The convolutional layer was frozen without training, and only the fully connected layer was trained (transfer learning model 1). Second, a new model was constructed by adding a fully connected layer and varying the range of freezing for the convolutional layer (transfer learning model 2). (3) Results: The transfer learning model 1 gradually increased in accuracy and ultimately reached 87.5%. After processing through the confusion matrix, the sensitivity was 90% and the specificity was 100%. Transfer learning model 2, which was trained on the convolutional layer, gradually increased in accuracy and ultimately reached 97.5%, which represented a better improvement than for model 1. Processing through the confusion matrix affirmed that the sensitivity was 100% and the specificity was 97.5%. (4) Conclusions: The CNN algorithm, through transfer learning, shows high accuracy for detecting the loosening of TKA implants on plain radiographs.

Abstract
Background: prosthetic loosening after hip and knee arthroplasty is one of the most common causes of joint arthroplasty failure and revision surgery. Diagnosis of prosthetic loosening is a difficult problem and, in many cases, loosening is not clearly diagnosed until accurately confirmed during surgery. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to demonstrate the analysis and performance of machine learning in diagnosing prosthetic loosening after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Materials and Methods: three comprehensive databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies that evaluated the detection accuracy of loosening around arthroplasty implants using machine learning. Data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and meta-analysis were performed. Results: five studies were included in the meta-analysis. All studies were retrospective studies. In total, data from 2013 patients with 3236 images were assessed; these data involved 2442 cases (75.5%) with THAs and 794 cases (24.5%) with TKAs. The most common and best-performing machine learning algorithm was DenseNet. In one study, a novel stacking approach using a random forest showed similar performance to DenseNet. The pooled sensitivity across studies was 0.92 (95% CI 0.84-0.97), the pooled specificity was 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.96), and the pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 194.09 (95% CI 61.60-611.57). The I2 statistics for sensitivity and specificity were 96% and 62%, respectively, showing that there was significant heterogeneity. The summary receiver operating characteristics curve indicated the sensitivity and specificity, as did the prediction regions, with an AUC of 0.9853. Conclusions: the performance of machine learning using plain radiography showed promising results with good accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the detection of loosening around THAs and TKAs. Machine learning can be incorporated into prosthetic loosening screening programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether generalized joint laxity affects the postoperative alignment and clinical outcomes of medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). METHODS A total of 198 patients who underwent MOWHTO was divided into two groups according to absence or presence of generalized joint laxity. Generalized joint laxity was measured using the Beighton and Horan criteria, and a score of 4 or more out of 9 was defined as generalized joint laxity. A weight bearing line (WBL) ratio of 55% to 70% was considered an acceptable postoperative lower limb alignment range; WBL over 70% was defined as overcorrection and less than 55% as undercorrection. The WBL ratio was investigated before and 2 years after surgery, and the Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index scale score (WOMAC) was evaluated for patient-reported outcomes (PRO) of MOWHTO. There were 147 (73.7%) patients in the nongeneralized joint laxity group and 51 (26.3%) in the generalized joint laxity group. Preoperatively, there was no difference between the two groups in hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle or WBL ratio (all P > .05). RESULTS At 2 years postoperatively, the generalized joint laxity group showed significantly higher HKA angle and WBL ratio than the nongeneralized joint laxity group (all P < .05). There was a significant difference in the distribution ratio of undercorrection, normocorrection, and overcorrection patients between the two groups (P < .05). There were no differences between the two groups in preoperative and postoperative WOMAC scores (all, P > .05). CONCLUSION The generalized joint laxity significantly affected postoperative over correction of alignment following MOWHTO. However, there was no significant difference in PRO between the patients who did and did not have generalized joint laxity after MOWHTO until 2 years.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Cartilage regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been attempted to improve articular cartilage regeneration in varus knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUCB-MSCs) have been reported to be effective. However, whether BMAC is superior to hUCB-MSCs remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of cartilage repair procedures with BMAC or hUCB-MSCs in patients undergoing HTO. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was conducted using three global databases, PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, for studies in which the clinical outcomes after BMAC or hUCB-MSCs were used in patients undergoing HTO for varus knee OA. Data extraction, quality control, and meta-analysis were performed. To compare the clinical efficacy of BMAC and hUCB-MSCs, reported clinical outcome assessments and second-look arthroscopic findings were analyzed using standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The present review included seven studies of 499 patients who received either BMAC (BMAC group, n = 169) or hUCB-MSCs (hUCB-MSC group, n = 330). Improved clinical outcomes were found in both BMAC and hUCB-MSC groups; however, a significant difference was not observed between procedures (International Knee Documentation Committee score; p = 0.91, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index; p = 0.05, Knee Society Score (KSS) Pain; p = 0.85, KSS Function; p = 0.37). On second-look arthroscopy, the hUCB-MSC group showed better International Cartilage Repair Society Cartilage Repair Assessment grade compared with the BMAC group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Both BMAC and hUCB-MSCs with HTO improved clinical outcomes in varus knee OA patients, and there was no difference in clinical outcomes between them. However, hUCB-MSCs were more effective in articular cartilage regeneration than BMAC augmentation.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Perioperative distal femoral fracture is rare in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In such rare cases, additional fixation might be required, and recovery can be delayed. Several studies have focused on perioperative distal femoral fractures in TKA, but there remains a lack of information on risk factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate risk factors for perioperative distal femoral fractures in patients undergoing TKA and suggest preventive strategies. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 5364 TKA cases in a single institution from 2011 to 2022. Twenty-four distal femoral fractures occurred during TKA or within one month postoperatively (0.45%). Patient demographics, intraoperative findings, and postoperative progress were obtained from patient medical records and radiographs. Risk factors for fractures were analyzed using multivariate Firth logistic regression analysis. Results: Although all 24 distal femoral fractures occurred in female patients (24 of 4819 patients, 0.50%), the incidence rate of fracture between male and female patients was not significantly different (p = 0.165). The presence of osteoporosis and insertion of a polyethylene (PE) insert with knee dislocation were statistically significant risk factors (p = 0.009 and p = 0.046, respectively). However, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only osteoporosis with bone mineral density (BMD) < -2.8 (odds ratio (2.30), 95% CI (1.03-5.54), p = 0.043) was an independent risk factor for perioperative distal femoral fracture in TKA patients. Conclusions: Our results suggest that osteoporosis with BMD < -2.8 is a risk factor for distal femoral fractures in patients undergoing TKA. In these patients, careful bone cutting, adequate gap balancing, and especially the use of the sliding method for insertion of a PE insert are recommended as preventive strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) in patients with varus knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes changes to ankle and hindfoot alignment. However, the compensatory ability of the ankle and hindfoot varies according to the severity of ankle OA. PURPOSE To investigate whether the changes in ankle symptoms and ankle and hindfoot alignments differ after MOWHTO according to the severity of preoperative ankle OA. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS The data of 130 patients who were followed for ≥4 years were reviewed. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to their severity of ankle OA: group 1, modified Kellgren-Lawrence grade 0 and 1; group 2, grade ≥2. Four radiographic parameters were examined to evaluate ankle alignment: tibial plafond inclination, talar tilt, talar inclination, and tibial surface angle. The hindfoot alignment was evaluated using the varus-valgus angle (VVA) of the calcaneus. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate ankle pain. The patient-reported outcome measure of the knee joint was the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score. RESULTS There were 110 patients in group 1 and 20 patients in group 2. In group 2, the change in talar inclination after MOWHTO was significantly greater and the changes in tibial plafond inclination, talar tilt, and VVA were significantly smaller compared with in group 1 (all P < .05). Ankle pain VAS scores were more severe in group 2 than in group 1 pre- and postoperatively (all P < .05), and group 2 reported that ankle pain worsened postoperatively (P < .05). In both groups, knee WOMAC scores improved, and there were no differences between groups pre- or postoperatively (all P > .05). A multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that a small VVA change (odds ratio, 0.775; P = .027) and severe OA grade of the ankle joint preoperatively (Kellgren-Lawrence grades 2-4 vs 0 and 1; odds ratio, 4.241 [P = .046]) predicted increased ankle pain VAS scores after MOWHTO. CONCLUSION Although the patient-reported outcome measures for the knee joint improved irrespective of the presence of ankle OA, ankle pain worsened after MOWHTO in patients with ankle OA. Inadequate compensatory change in hindfoot alignment increased ankle pain in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given higher component conformity, rotational availability of polyethylene insert, and more physiologic patellofemoral tracking, mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is supposed to offer advantages in joint perception and crepitus. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MB TKA offers superior outcomes over fixed-bearing (FB) TKA in terms of joint awareness and crepitus. METHODS This prospective, randomized, controlled trial included 49 FB and 49 MB TKAs that shared the same posterior-stabilized femoral component. Primary outcomes included joint awareness assessed with the Forgotten Joint Score and crepitus graded according to severity and sound at 3 years postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were the range of motion, the Knee Society Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, component position, and joint line level on radiographs. RESULTS The Forgotten Joint Score showed no significant difference between the FB (67 points; range, 0-100) and MB groups (63 points; range, 13-100) (P = .440). For crepitus, no significant differences were found in the overall incidence rate (FB group, 18%; MB group, 12%; P = .386) and grade (grade 1, 6 versus 5; grade 2, 2 versus 1; grade 3, 1 versus 0, respectively). There were no significant differences in range of motion, Knee Society Score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, as well as radiographic outcomes between the two groups (all, P > .05). CONCLUSION MB TKA offers no benefits in terms of joint awareness and crepitus compared with FB TKA at mean 3 years postoperatively. The theoretical advantages of MB TKA have yet to be demonstrated in practice, leaving the selection of bearing type to the surgeon's judgment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II.

Abstract
Purpose The optimal practice of patellar management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. This systematic review was conducted to compare patella-related (1) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), (2) clinical outcomes, and (3) reoperation rates after TKA with patellar resurfacing (PR) and nonresurfacing (NPR) in single patients undergoing bilateral patellar procedures during simultaneous bilateral TKA. Methods This review included prospective bilateral randomized trials investigating patella-related PROMs, clinical outcomes, and reoperation (secondary resurfacing and patellar component revision) and other patella-related complications in single patients undergoing randomly assigned PR and NPR during bilateral TKA. Results Six studies were included. There was no difference in PROMs between PR and NPR in five studies, whereas PR was found to be superior to NPR in one study. Five studies reported similar functional outcomes and complication rates between PR and NPR, while one study found better clinical outcomes and a lower complication rate in PR. Between-group secondary resurfacing and patellar revision rates were similar in all studies. Conclusions The majority of patients who underwent bilateral patellar procedures could not tell the difference between PR and NPR following bilateral TKA. There were no differences in clinical outcomes or reoperation and complication rates between PR and NPR. No evidence was found to support routine PR. Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level 1

Abstract
Background: Recent evidence supports that restoration of the pre-arthritic condition via total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with improved post-TKA performance and patient satisfaction. However, whether the restored pre-arthritic joint line simulates the native mid-flexion biomechanics remains unclear. Objective: We performed a matched-pair cadaveric study to explore whether restoration of the joint line via kinematically aligned (KA) TKA reproduced native knee biomechanics more accurately than the altered joint line associated with mechanically aligned (MA) TKA. Methods: Sixteen fresh-frozen cadaveric knees (eight pairs) were affixed onto a customized knee-squatting simulator for measurement of femoral rollback and medial collateral ligament (MCL) strain during mid-flexion. One knee from each cadaver was randomly designated to the KA TKA group (with the joint line restored to the pre-arthritic condition) and the other to the MA TKA group (with the joint line perpendicular to the mechanical axis). Optical markers were attached to all knees and rollback was analyzed using motion capture cameras. A video extensometer measured real-time variations in MCL strain. The kinematics and MCL strain prior to and following TKA were measured for all specimens. Results: KA TKA was better for restoring the knee kinematics to the native condition than MA TKA. The mid-flexion femoral rollback and axial rotation after KA TKA were consistently comparable to those of the native knee. Meanwhile, those of MA TKA were similar only at ≤40° of flexion. Furthermore, KA TKA better restored the mid-flexion MCL strain to that of the native knee than MA TKA. Over the entire mid-flexion range, the MCL strain of KA TKA and native knees were similar, while the strains of MA TKA knees were more than twice those of native knees at >20° of flexion. Conclusions: The restored joint line after KA TKA effectively reproduced the native mid-flexion rollback and MCL strain, whereas the altered joint line after MA TKA did not. Our findings may explain why patients who undergo KA TKA experience superior outcomes and more natural knee sensations during daily activities than those treated via MA TKA.

Abstract
Background: Qualitative studies have explored changes in Tc-99m hydroxymethylene
diphosphonate (HDP) uptake on single-photon emission computed tomography and
computed tomography (SPECT/CT) as a result of offloading after medial
opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) in patients with medial
compartment knee osteoarthritis. However, whether changes in the Tc-99m HDP
uptake on SPECT/CT reflect the degree of clinical improvement in
postoperative outcomes, especially when using minimal clinically important
differences (MCIDs), has not been investigated. Purpose: To investigate the association between changes in Tc-99m HDP uptake on
SPECT/CT and MCID-based improvement on the Western Ontario and McMaster
Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score in patients who underwent
MOWHTO. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study included 35 knees in 31 patients who underwent MOWHTO. SPECT/CT was
performed preoperatively and 3 years postoperatively with clinical and
radiological assessments. On SPECT/CT, the knee joint was divided into 10
regions, and the radiotracer uptake amount of each region was divided by the
uptake amount of the reference zone. Patients were divided into 2 groups
based on whether they achieved the MCID of 16.1 points on the WOMAC at 3
years postoperatively, and changes in uptake amount on SPECT/CT were
compared between the groups. Results: At 3 years postoperatively, 22 patients achieved the MCID on the WOMAC
(62.9%; above-MCID group) and 13 patients did not (37.1%; below-MCID group).
In the above-MCID group, significant improvement was observed in the WOMAC
after MOWHTO (from 55.8 to 19.6; P < .05); however,
significant improvement was not observed in the below-MCID group (from 38.8
to 32.3; P = .100). Based on mean change of uptake on
SPECT/CT in each region, the above-MCID group showed significantly greater
reduction of uptake on SPECT/CT than the below-MCID group in the femoral
anteromedial compartment (P = .004), tibial anteromedial
compartment (P = .009), and tibial anterolateral
compartment (P = .031). Conclusion: Reduction in radiotracer uptake on SPECT/CT of the knee joint reflected
clinical improvement in patient-reported outcomes following MOWHTO.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in joint space width (JSW) over time after medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) and identify risk factors for deterioration of JSW using anteroposterior (AP) and Rosenberg views. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed changes in JSW of 104 MOWHTO patients whose preoperative osteoarthritis (OA) grade was K-L grade 3 or less on AP and Rosenberg views. Serial changes in JSW were assessed from preoperatively to at least 3 years postoperatively. Patients were divided into two groups according to JSW change patterns on each of AP and Rosenberg views: non-deterioration group had either unchanged or increased JSW, and deterioration group had decreased JSW. Clinical outcomes were compared using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) score between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for deterioration of JSW. RESULTS JSW on average for all patients increased 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm on AP and Rosenberg views, respectively (p < 0.05). Non-deterioration group showed significant improvement based on patient-reported outcomes (WOMAC) than deterioration group (all p < 0.05). Undercorrection was an independent risk factor for failure to achieve maintained or increased JSW on both AP (OR 6.885, 95% CI 1.976-23.986, p = 0.002) and Rosenberg (OR 12.756, 95% CI 2.952-55.129, p = 0.001) views. CONCLUSION JSW increased gradually and continuously on standing AP and Rosenberg views until postoperative 3 years after MOWHTO. Deterioration of JSW following MOWHTO was closely related to the undercorrection and affected clinical outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, case control study.

Abstract
Central sensitization (CS) has been extensively researched as a cause of persistent pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This systematic review study sought to investigate the diagnosis of CS in patients who underwent TKA for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the effect of CS on clinical outcomes after TKA. Three comprehensive databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies that evaluated the outcomes of TKA in knee OA patients with CS. Data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and (where appropriate) meta-analysis were performed. The standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval was used to assess the different scales of pain. A total of eight studies were selected, including two retrospective studies and five prospective observational studies. One study used additional randomized controlled trial data. Five studies were finally included in the meta-analysis. All studies had a minimum follow-up period of 3 months. The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), whole-body pain diagram, and quantitative sensory testing (QST) were used for measuring CS. The pooled analysis showed that patients with CS had more severe postoperative pain after TKA (SMD, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.40−0.90; p < 0.01) with moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 60%). In patients who underwent TKA with knee OA, CSI is most often used for the diagnosis of CS, and the QST and whole-body pain diagram are also used. CS is closely associated with more severe and persistent pain after TKA.

Abstract
Background: Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is an intravenous (IV) high-dose iron that is effective in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. This study was performed to determine whether postoperative FCM infusion is effective at improving hemoglobin (Hb) responders, Hb and iron profiles, and the patient’s quality of life (QOL). Methods: A total of 110 patients with postoperative anemia, defined by a Hb < 10 g/dL within 3 days of unilateral primary TKA, between June 2018 and February 2020 were randomized into either the FCM or Control group. On postoperative day 3, the FCM group (55 patients) received IV FCM while the Control group (55 patients) did not. The Hb responders (Hb increase ≥ 2 g/dL compared to baseline), Hb level, iron profiles (ferritin, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TSAT)), and EQ-5D scores were compared at weeks 2, 4, and 8. Results: The FCM group demonstrated a significantly greater number of Hb responders (p < 0.001) and a higher Hb level (p = 0.008) at 2 weeks postoperative than did the Control group. The FCM group recovered its preoperative Hb level between 4 and 8 weeks. In contrast, the Control group did not recover its preoperative level until 8 weeks. The FCM infusion group also had higher serum ferritin, iron and TSAT, and lower TIBC levels than those of the Control group between 2 and 8 weeks (all p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the postoperative transfusion rate (p = 0.741) or EQ-5D score between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Discussion: In postoperative anemia following TKA, IV FCM increases the Hb response and improves Hb and iron metabolism variables, however, it does not affect the transfusion rate or QOL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate risk factors and suggest preventive strategy for excessive coronal inclination of tibial plateau following medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). METHODS A total of 133 consecutive patients who underwent MOWHTO were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups based on postoperative medial proximal tibial angle (post-MPTA) of 95°: control group (n = 111, 83.5%) with post-MPTA less than 95° and excessive MPTA group (n = 22, 16.5%) with post-MPTA 95° or more. Demographics, radiographic parameters [mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), MPTA, posterior tibial slope, joint line obliquity (JLO), hip-knee-ankle angle, joint line convergence angle (JLCA), weight bearing line ratio, and correction angle], and clinical outcomes of patients were compared. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine risk factors for post-MPTA 95° or more. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative JLO ≥ 3° [odds ratio (OR) 6.940, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.373-20.296, p < 0.001] and preoperative JLCA ≥ 5° (OR 5.723, 95% CI 1.833-17.865, p = 0.008) were statistically significant risk factors for post-MPTA ≥ 95°. Incidences of excessive MPTA following MOWHTO in patients with none, one, and two risk factors preoperatively were 3.7%, 26.7%, and 77.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION Preoperative JLO ≥ 3° and JLCA ≥ 5° were two significant risk factors for excessive MPTA following MOWHTO. Thus, surgeon should consider other types of osteotomy if these two risk factors are present together preoperatively in MOWHTO candidates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to discover whether increased pain sensitivity was associated with postoperative pain and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Pain sensitivity was evaluated preoperatively using a pain sensitivity questionnaire (PSQ). Resting, walking, nighttime, and average pain visual analog scale (VAS) were measured before surgery and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. PROMs were also evaluated based on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score and patient satisfaction. The association between pain VAS average score, WOMAC total score, and PSQ score (minor, moderate, and total score) was assessed at each stage. RESULTS There were 59 patients with a high PSQ score (≥ 5.2) and 53 with a low PSQ score (< 5.2). Up to 1 year postoperatively, the group with high PSQ scores had higher resting, walking, nighttime, and average pain VAS scores than the group with low scores (all p < 0.05). Worse preoperative WOMAC pain, function, and total scores continued until 1 year after surgery in the high-scoring PSQ group (all p < 0.05). The group with low PSQ scores was more satisfied with surgery than the group with high scores (p = 0.027). There was a positive correlation between preoperative PSQ score and pain VAS average score at all time points (all p < 0.05). A relationship between PSQ score and WOMAC total score was also observed (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Increased pain sensitivity is a factor related to higher postoperative pain levels and inferior PROMs in patients undergoing primary TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case-controlled study, III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Collagen disruption is one of the underlying causes of knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis and/or diverse cartilage defects. Atelocollagen is a type of collagen that lacks telopeptides and thus has reduced antigenicity. The intra-articular injection of type I atelocollagen supplements collagen levels in the disrupted articular cartilage. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of the intra-articular injection of atelocollagen for the management of knee pain. DESIGN Two hundred patients with osteoarthritis, chondromalacia, or other cartilage defects were randomly assigned to receive a 3-mL intra-articular injection of atelocollagen (BioCollagen group) or saline (Placebo group). Clinical improvement was evaluated over a 24-week period using the 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS), the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). RESULTS VAS scores were significantly better in the BioCollagen group as compared with the Placebo group at 24 weeks. More patients in the BioCollagen group reported exceeding 20% and 40% VAS improvements. The WOMAC and SF-36 scores were also significantly improved from baseline after the intra-articular injection of atelocollagen; although, the differences between the BioCollagen and Placebo groups were not significant. There were no unexpected or severe adverse events reported for either group. CONCLUSIONS The results show that an intra-articular injection of atelocollagen effectively alleviates knee pain, as intended. Therefore, the intra-articular injection of atelocollagen can be considered an alternative solution to controlling knee pain due to osteoarthritis and diverse cartilage defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE This double-blind, randomized, Phase III clinical trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of the novel divinyl sulfone cross-linked hyaluronate (YYD302) compared with the 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether cross-linked hyaluronate (Synovian) in patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS A total of 184 patients with osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade I-III) were randomized to 1 of 2 study groups (YYD302 group, n = 95; Synovian group, n = 89). A single injection of YYD302 or Synovian was given to both groups, and 182 participants completed the study (YYD302 group, n = 95; Synovian group, n = 87). The primary end point was the change in weight-bearing pain (WBP) at 12 weeks after the primary single injection. Secondary end points included the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score; the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score; the Patient Global Assessment and Investigator Global Assessment; the range of motion, swelling, and tenderness of the target knee; OMERACT-OARSI responder rate; WBP responder rate (the proportion of patients achieving at least 20 mm or 40% decrease in WBP); and rate of rescue medicine use and its total consumption at weeks 2, 4, and 12. Based on the efficacy results at week 12, the responders were administered an additional single injection of the same study drug at week 24, and safety and efficacy were additionally assessed at week 36. FINDINGS Mean changes of WBP at 12 weeks after the primary injection were -31.76 mm with YYD302 and -29.74 mm with Synovian, proving noninferiority of the YYD302 group to the Synovian group as the lower bound of the 95% CI (-4.3 to 8.3) was well above the predefined margin (-10 mm). At week 2, the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (total, pain, activities of daily living, and sports/recreation) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores (total, stiffness) were significantly better in the YYD302 group than in the Synovian group. There were no significant differences between the groups in all other end points. Local overall adverse events (pain, heat, erythema, or swelling) at the injection site were observed in 48.4% of the YYD302 group and in 47.7% of the Synovian group. No serious reactions were reported. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups regarding re-injected patients (YYD302 group, n = 54; Synovian group, n = 46) in any of the efficacy outcomes at week 36. IMPLICATIONS The results of this study support that YYD302 is comparable to Synovian in terms of the efficacy and safety of the intra-articular injection treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Furthermore, YYD302 provided faster improvements in some efficacy assessments compared with Synovian. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03561779.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is virtually incapable of self-healing in the event of a defect. Microfracture is the most frequently used bone marrow stimulation technique1, but there is the limitation of unpredictable quality of the cartilage repair following bone marrow stimulation2. To resolve the shortcomings of the microfracture technique, various reinforcing technologies have been developed, including the porcine-derived collagen-augmented chondrogenesis technique (C-ACT)3. The collagen gel utilized in that procedure is a product called CartiFill (Sewon Cellontech), made from highly purified pig-derived type-I collagen. It has been modified into an atelocollagen, by removing telopeptides, to virtually eliminate the risk of rejection. The collagen matrix provides not only a 3-dimensional structure for cartilage differentiation, but also mechanical support3,4. Description Porcine-derived C-ACT is initiated by creating a mixture of atelocollagen, thrombin, and fibrinogen. First, thrombin is mixed with atelocollagen and placed in one arm of an assembled Y-shaped syringe, and fibrinogen is placed in the other arm. The articular cartilage defect site is confirmed in a routine arthroscopic procedure. The articular margin is debrided, and the calcified lesion is cleanly removed. Then, microfractures are created. After creating a more extended incision at the anteromedial portal, the microfracture site is prepared by removing moisture. The prepared atelocollagen mixture is applied to the defect site as a single layer, although a second layer can be formed 1 to 2 minutes later. After 5 minutes, the stability is verified by range of motion of the knee.Indications for this procedure include (1) cartilage defects in the knee, including knee osteoarthritis and knee traumatic arthritis; (2) knee osteoarthritis with a Kellgren-Lawrence grade of 3 or less; (3) hip-knee-ankle malalignment of <5° or a deformity that is able to be surgically corrected; and (4) knee stability, or instability that is able to be surgically corrected.Contraindications for this procedure include (1) patient or family history of autoimmune disease, (2) history of anaphylactic reaction, (3) history of hypersensitivity to an implant, (4) history of allergy to porcine or bovine protein, and (5) inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid and gouty arthritis.C-ACT is a procedure for cartilage repair, and the effects of this procedure can be limited in cases with a deep subchondral bone defect; however, there is no limit to the size of the cartilage defect in terms of patient selection for C-ACT. Alternatives There are several alternatives to C-ACT, ranging from the simple microfracture technique to autologous chondrocyte implantation5, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation6, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis7, osteochondral autograft transplantation8, and stem cell therapy. There are various ways to recover from an articular cartilage defect, but C-ACT does not require a 2-stage technique, as is necessary with both autologous chondrocyte implantation procedures. Therefore, C-ACT has the advantages of ease of operation and being a single-stage procedure3,9. Rationale C-ACT can be classified as an upgraded version of microfracture, which is the most common treatment method for articular cartilage defects. With the microfracture technique, repaired cartilage is limited to fibrous cartilage and does not include hyaline cartilage3,4. However, a recent study reported that C-ACT exhibited a superior quality of repaired cartilage compared with microfracture3,4. Expected Outcomes Previous studies have reported favorable results with the use of C-ACT3,4. Kim et al.4 compared atelocollagen augmentation with microfracture alone in patients undergoing medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy for the treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis. Although there was no clinical difference between the 2 groups, the Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) score and the International Cartilage Repair Society II score were superior in the atelocollagen augmentation group. In addition, the microfracture group formed fibrous-like cartilage compared with the hyaline-like cartilage created in the atelocollagen augmentation group. A recent multicenter randomized study compared the use of C-ACT and microfracture and found that C-ACT exhibited significantly better results in several MOCART subscores and quantitative T2 mapping, indicating a histologically superior form of repaired cartilage compared with microfracture3. According to recent research, microfracture is superior to autologous chondrocyte implantation in terms of cost-effectiveness10. Similar results appear to be applicable to C-ACT. C-ACT requires an additional $1,300 for material costs; however, C-ACT showed better cartilage regeneration on magnetic resonance imagining and histology3,4, and higher rate of patients meeting the 20%-improvement rate in visual analogue scale pain scores at 24 months postoperatively compared with microfracture3. Long-term studies will be needed to assess whether histological superiority of C-ACT is reflected in meaningful improvements to clinical outcomes. Important Tips Debride all of the damaged cartilage to subchondral bone and remove the calcified layer without interfering with tissue repairTake special care when creating the atelocollagen mixture to ensure that it is accurately manufacturedDry the defect site with use of suction or gauze to aid in atelocollagen adhesion when applying atelocollagen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2-octyl cyanoacrylate topical adhesive with flexible self-adhesive polyester mesh (Dermabond Prineo) is becoming widely used in many surgical fields. However, no prior studies have tested the efficacy and safety of this topical adhesive compared with subcuticular suture in the same patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between Dermabond Prineo and subcuticular suture for skin closure in patients undergoing same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, double-blind randomized controlled trial was performed in 51 patients scheduled to undergo same-day bilateral TKAs. One knee was randomly assigned to the Dermabond Prineo and the other knee was allocated to the subcuticular suture. As primary outcomes, Vancouver scar scale was evaluated at 6 months and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale was evaluated at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Secondary outcomes included cosmesis efficacy (Hollander wound evaluation scale [HWES] and cosmesis visual analog scale [VAS]), time and pain efficiency (skin suture time, stitch out time, and stitch out pain VAS), and safety (wound complications during the 6-month follow-up period). The primary and secondary outcome measures were compared between groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in Vancouver scar scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale at 6 months. Although there were no significant differences in HWES at 2 weeks, the Dermabond Prineo group showed better step-off border item of HWES. There was also no difference in cosmesis VAS at 6 months. The Dermabond Prineo group showed superior results in terms of time (suture time: Dermabond Prineo = 191 second (sec) ± 60.1 sec, subcuticular suture = 356.8 sec ± 92.3 sec; stitch out time: Dermabond Prineo = 4 sec ± 1.3 sec, subcuticular suture = 26.6 sec ± 4.2 sec, all P < .001) without significant differences in pain scale (P = .823) or wound complications (all P > .05). CONCLUSION Comparing cosmetic efficacy, time efficiency, and safety, Dermabond Prineo provided quicker wound closure, shorter stitch out time, and better wound margin coaptation in the early postoperative period but similar cosmetic efficacy compared with subcuticular suture. Based on our study, Dermabond Prineo is a useful alternative to subcuticular suture in patients undergoing TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic level 1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To our knowledge, it is still unknown if central sensitization (CS) influences the magnitude of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for patient-reported outcome measures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of CS on the MCID for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score in patients who underwent TKA for knee osteoarthritis. METHODS A total of 422 patients who underwent unilateral TKA and completed a 2-year follow-up were enrolled in this study. CS was measured using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). The WOMAC score was used to evaluate preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcomes. The measurement of the MCID was performed separately for patients with and without CS using both the anchor-based method and the distribution method. The change difference method defined the MCID as the difference in preoperative-to-postoperative change between the minimal-improvement group and the no-change group. In addition, the MCID was calculated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The percentage of MCID achievement in each group was also compared. RESULTS According to the change difference method, the MCID for the WOMAC total score was 23.4 points for patients with CS and 14.7 points for patients without CS. The MCID using the ROC cutoff value for the WOMAC total score was 29.5 points for the patients with CS and 26.5 points for the patients without CS. MCID achievement rates in WOMAC pain, function, and total scores were all found to be significantly higher in the patients without CS through the change difference method and the ROC method (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The MCID for the WOMAC score of patients with CS after TKA was greater than that for patients without CS. Furthermore, by applying the calculated MCID to the group to which the patients belonged (with or without CS), we determined that patients with CS showed a lower MCID achievement rate than patients without CS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
(1) Background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). (2) Methods: a total of 73 patients were randomly allocated into two groups (TXA group and control group). The primary outcome was total perioperative calculated blood loss after MOWHTO. Secondary outcomes included self-reported pain severity using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) and the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire. The postoperative allogeneic transfusion rate and wound complications were compared. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) incidence was compared by conducting DVT computed tomography imaging. (3) Results: the total blood loss after surgery was 470.9 mL in the TXA group and 739.3 mL in the control group, showing a significant difference (p < 0.001). There were no differences in pain VAS scores between the two groups (all p > 0.05). No difference in preoperative EQ-5D scores for any items existed between the two groups. No transfusion was performed in either group. There was no difference in DVT incidence or the rate of wound complications between the two groups. (4) Conclusion: in patients undergoing MOWHTO, IV TXA reduces total blood loss and drainage amount. However, no additional benefits in clinical outcomes, transfusion rate, or wound complications were apparent, with similar DVT incidence rates.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of duloxetine as an alternative to opioid treatment for postoperative pain management following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Among 944 patients, 290 (30.7%) of patients received opioid or duloxetine for pain control for 6 weeks when the pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was greater than 4 out of 10 at the time of discharge. 121 patients in the Opioid group and 118 in the Duloxetine group were followed up for more than one year. Preoperative and postoperative patient reported outcome measures (pain VAS score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) score were compared. The rate of further drug prescription (opioid or duloxetine) after 6 weeks of first prescription, 30-day readmission rate, and side effects were also investigated. Results There was no significant difference in pain VAS score, WOMAC Pain and Function score, at each time point between before and after surgery (all p>0.05). Fifteen (9.8%) patients in the opioid group and six (4.4%) patients in the duloxetine group were prescribed additional medication after first 6 weeks, showing no significant (p>0.05) difference in proportion. The 30-day readmission rate and the incidence of side effects were also similar (all p>0.05). There was no difference in the incidence of side effects between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion Duloxetine and opioid did not show any difference in pain control, function, and side effects for up to one year after TKA. Although large-scale randomized controlled trials are still required to further confirm the side effects of duloxetine, it can be considered as an alternative to opioid for postoperative pain control following TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many approaches have been used to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, but the MCID for outcome measures after medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) for the treatment of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) has not been reported. PURPOSE To define the MCID for the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) after MOWHTO and to identify risk factors for not achieving the MCID. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Among patients with medial compartment knee OA who underwent MOWHTO, 174 patients who were followed for 2 years were included in the study. The MCID and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) for the WOMAC were determined using the anchor-based method with a 15-item questionnaire. Preoperative OA severity was measured by the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading system, and the acceptable range of the postoperative weightbearing line ratio was 50% to 70%. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether the MCID and SCB were achieved, and then factors related to failure to achieve the MCID and SCB were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The MCID for the WOMAC was 4.2 points for the pain subscale, 1.9 points for the stiffness subscale, 10.1 points for the function subscale, and 16.1 points for the total. Additionally, the SCB for the WOMAC was 6.4 for pain, 2.6 for stiffness, 16.4 for function, and 25.3 for the total. Overall, 116 (66.7%), 99 (56.9%), 127 (73.0%), and 128 (73.6%) patients achieved the MCID for the WOMAC pain, stiffness, function, and total, respectively, after MOWHTO. The odds of not achieving the MCID for the WOMAC total were 1.09 times greater (95% CI, 1.05-1.13; P < .001) in patients with a low preoperative WOMAC total score (cutoff values: 10.5 for pain, 3.5 for stiffness, 34.5 for function, and 51.0 for the total), 11.77 times greater (95% CI, 3.68-37.70; P < .001) in patients with K-L grade 4 OA compared with K-L grades 2 or 3 OA, and 8.39 times greater (95% CI, 2.98-23.63; P < .001) in patients with undercorrection or overcorrection. A low preoperative WOMAC score, K-L grade 4 OA, and undercorrection or overcorrection were also associated with not achieving the SCB for the WOMAC total (all P < .05). CONCLUSION Patients treated with a MOWHTO require a 16.1-point improvement in the WOMAC total score to achieve a MCID from the procedure. Low preoperative WOMAC scores, severe OA, and undercorrection or overcorrection were related to failure to achieve the MCID.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study will be to investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) along with symptomatic slow-acting drugs for the treatment of osteoarthritis (SYSADOA), JOINS tablets, for degenerative knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment and to determine the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the combination therapy. In addition, we will investigate whether JOINS treatment alone after NSAID and JOINS combination treatment is effective in relieving and maintaining knee OA symptoms. Methods This study will be a prospective, randomized, double-blind endpoint study design. All patients will be randomly assigned to either intervention (celecoxib+JOINS) or control (celecoxib+placebo) groups. In Part 1, the intervention group will be administered celecoxib once a day and JOINS three times a day for a total of 12 weeks. In the control group, celecoxib will be administered once a day and JOINS placebo three times a day for a total of 12 weeks. In Part 2, JOINS alone and JOINS placebo alone will be administered for an additional 24 weeks in both groups, respectively. The primary endpoint will be the amount of change during the 12 weeks as assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index total score compared with baseline. The secondary endpoint will be the amount of change at 1, 4, 12, 24, and 36 weeks from the baseline for pain visual analog scale, Brief Pain Inventory, Short Form Health Survey-36 and biomarkers. Results The trial was registered with Clinical-Trials.gov (NCT04718649). The clinical trial was also registered on Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) with the trial registration number KCT0005742. Conclusions The combination treatment of the most commonly used SYSADOA drug, JOINS, and selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib as the representative NSAID for knee OA treatment, can be compared with celecoxib alone treatment to determine the safety or therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of accuracy of coronal alignment correction with use of the “alignment adjustment under valgus stress technique” between expert and novice surgeons during medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). Methods Forty-eight patients who underwent MOWHTO performed by an expert surgeon (expert group) and 29 by a novice surgeon (novice group) were enrolled in analysis. During surgery, lower-extremity alignment was corrected using the “alignment adjustment under valgus stress technique”. Normocorrection was defined as a weight-bearing line ratio between 55 and 70% and the correction accuracy was compared between expert and novice groups using the ratio of normocorrection to outliers. The clinical outcomes were also compared using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at 1 year after surgery. Results The undercorrection rate was 14.6% in the expert group and 13.8% in the novice group, while the overcorrection rate was 2.1% in the expert group and 3.4% in the novice group. In the ratio of normocorrection to outliers, no difference was found between the two groups at the one-year follow-up visit (83.3% in the expert group vs. 82.8% in the novice group; p > 0.05). Also, no significant differences were seen in WOMAC subscores immediately preoperatively and at 1 year after surgery (all p > 0.05). Conclusion Adhering to the “alignment adjustment under valgus stress technique” protocol enabled novice surgeons to achieve similar surgical accuracy as that of an expert surgeon in coronal alignment during MOWHTO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) proponents have suggested the benefits of improved component alignment and reduced outliers. In this randomized controlled trial, we attempted to assess the advantage of using PSI over conventional intermedullary (IM) guides for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with bilateral severe femoral bowing (> 5°). A parallel trial design was used with 1:1 allocation. We hypothesize that PSI would support more accurate alignment of components and the lower-limb axis during TKA with severe femoral bowing in comparison with conventional IM guides. METHODS Among 336 patients undergoing bilateral TKAs due to knee osteoarthritis, 29 patients with bilateral lateral femoral bowing of more than 5° were included in this study. Every patient was assigned randomly to PSI on one side and to conventional instrumentation lateralization of the entry point of the femoral IM guide was applied on the other with a goal of neutral mechanical alignment. The assessment of coronal alignment was completed by measuring the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle on preoperative and postoperative long film standing radiographs. Coronal and sagittal orientations of femoral and tibial components were assessed on weight-bearing radiographs. The rotational alignment of the femoral component was evaluated using computed tomography. RESULTS The postoperative mean ± standard deviation (SD) HKA angle was varus 4.0° (± 2.7°) for conventional technique and varus 4.1° (± 3.1°) for PSI, with no differences between the two groups (p = 0.459). The component orientation showed no significant differences except with respect to the sagittal alignment of the femoral component (p = 0.001), with a PSI mean ± SD flexion of 5.8° (± 3.7°) and a conventional method mean ± SD flexion of 3.2° (± 2.5°), due to the intentional 3° flexion incorporated in the sagittal plane to prevent femoral notching in PSI planning. Computed tomography assessment for rotational alignment of the femoral components showed no difference between the two groups concerning the transepicondylar axis (p = 0.485) with a PSI mean ± SD external rotation of 1.5° (± 1.3°) and conventional mean ± SD external rotation of 1.5° (± 1.6°). CONCLUSION PSI showed no advantage over lateralization of the femoral entry for IM guidance.

Abstract
Ramp injury, that is, injury to the peripheral attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, often requires additional surgery during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Diagnosis and treatment of ramp lesions are important because unrepaired ramp lesions could cause risk to the reconstructed ACL because of anteroposterior and external rotation laxity, whereas acute rupture or chronic deficiency of the ACL could also cause ramp lesions because of instability. Ramp lesions are difficult to diagnose and treat from the anterior compartment during arthroscopy. Typically, this repair requires technically demanding skills and is performed from the posterior portal using a suture hook under visualization with the arthroscope through the intercondylar notch. Inexperienced surgeons often struggle with using the posterior portal and the suture hook. Our all-inside repair technique using the FasT-Fix system (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA) under direct visualization from the anterior compartment accompanied by a medial collateral ligament pie-crusting technique facilitates repair of ramp lesions without causing medial instability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior-stabilized and ultracongruent designs are 2 common examples of posterior cruciate ligament-substituting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prostheses. There is a lack of evidence regarding joint perception differences between ultracongruent and posterior-stabilized TKA. The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative knee stability, function, and joint perception between ultracongruent and posterior-stabilized TKA in the same patients in order to determine whether there was a difference based on design. METHODS This prospective, randomized controlled trial included 50 patients who underwent same-day bilateral TKA utilizing Persona (Zimmer Biomet) posterior-stabilized implants in 1 knee (posterior-stabilized group) and ultracongruent implants in the other knee (ultracongruent group). At 2 years postoperatively, patients were evaluated for knee stability, function, and joint perception. Postoperative static knee anteroposterior stability and femoral rollback were compared. Knee function was evaluated with use of the Knee Society Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Joint perception was compared by evaluating noise generation, side preference, satisfaction, and the Forgotten Joint Score. RESULTS The ultracongruent group had more knee anteroposterior laxity (4.5 mm compared with 1.8 mm in the posterior-stabilized group; p < 0.001) and less femoral rollback (4.2 mm compared with 9.0 mm in the posterior-stabilized group; p < 0.001). Knee Society Score and WOMAC scores were not significantly different between groups (all p > 0.05). Although the ultracongruent group showed less noise generation than the posterior-stabilized group (18% compared with 38%, respectively; p = 0.026), there were no differences in side preference, satisfaction, or Forgotten Joint Score (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both groups had similar joint perception 2 years postoperatively, with obvious differences in noise generation and more sagittal laxity with less femoral rollback in the ultracongruent group.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish a Korean version of the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI-K) for Korean-speaking patients facing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to investigate the psychometric characteristics of the CSI-K. We recruited a total of 269 patients with knee OA who were scheduled to undergo TKA for the study. CSI-K and pain-related outcomes, including the pain visual analog scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) pain sub-scores, were measured. Since central sensitization (CS) is closely related to the quality of life (QOL) and limited functionality as well as pain, the patient's function was measured using the WOMAC function sub-scores, and QOL was measured using the EuroQol five-dimension test (EQ-5D). Reliability and validity were evaluated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to begin the data reduction to validate the existing questionnaire translation. The internal consistency was excellent, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.941. The test-retest reliability was acceptable-to-excellent with an ICC of 0.888. As expected, the CSI scores correlated strongly with the WOMAC pain scores (r = 0.524, p < 0.001) and moderately with the pain VAS (r = 0.496, p < 0.001), the WOMAC function (r = 0.408, p < 0.001), and the EQ-5D scores (r = 0.437, p < 0.001). EFA resulted in a six-factor model. The findings demonstrate that the CSI was successfully trans-culturally adapted into a simplified Korean version (CSI-K) that was reliable and valid for Korean-speaking patients who awaiting TKA for knee OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to assess preoperative patient expectations of medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) and related postoperative fulfillment, to increase understanding of associated factors of postoperative satisfaction. METHODS One hundred fifteen patients who underwent MOWHTO were enrolled. Patients' expectations were measured using the Hospital for Special Surgery-Knee Replacement Expectations Survey. Fulfillment of expectations and satisfaction was evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Replacement Fulfillment of Expectations Survey and a 5-point Likert scale at 2 years, postoperatively. The discrepancies between preoperative expectation and postoperative fulfillment score were also assessed. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcomes were evaluated using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to model predictions for satisfaction. RESULTS The most expected items were "pain relief," "walking ability," and "perform daily activities." The top 3 items with the biggest discrepancies between expectation and fulfillment scores were "kneeling," "squatting," and "pain relief." Ninety patients (78.3%) were satisfied and 25 (21.7%) were dissatisfied at 2 years postoperative. Multivariate logistic regressions showed that patient expectations did not affect satisfaction. Small discrepancies between expectation and fulfillment scores (odds ratio [OR] 105.304, 95% confidence interval 20.974-528.714, P < .001), high postoperative fulfillment scores (OR 1.198, 95% CI 1.110-1.293, P < .001), and low postoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index total scores (OR 0.932, 95% CI 0.894-0.971, P < .001) were significantly associated with patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION The small discrepancy between preoperative expectations and postoperative fulfillment of expectations was a major contributor to patients' satisfaction following MOWHTO.

Abstract
Objective Osteoarthritis (OA) patients who undergo staged bilateral total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) feel postoperative hyperalgesia in the second operated
knee compared with the first knee. Ketamine is an important drug for central
temporal summation and inhibition of secondary mechanical hyperalgesia. This
study investigated whether central sensitization has a significant effect on
hyperalgesia after consecutive operations. Methods Seventy-one of 80 OA patients were randomly allocated to the ketamine or
saline group. A bolus of ketamine (group K) or saline (group C) (0.5 mg/kg)
was injected before induction and at an infusion rate of 3 µg/kg/minute
during surgery. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess resting and
moving pain and opioid consumption on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. Results The difference in the VAS score between stages 1 and 2 (DV2-V1)
was higher in the ketamine compared with the saline group. DV2-V1
for movement between the two groups was not inferior for all periods.
Ketamine did not show a large analgesic effect on second-operated knee
hyperalgesia in staged bilateral TKAs. Conclusions We could not confirm that hyperalgesia was only related to central
sensitization with low-dose ketamine. Other factors might be also associated
with the hyperexcitability of nociceptive stimuli. Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) trial registry no:

Abstract
Background There have been no studies comparing patient-reported outcome measures including end-of-stem tip pain and patient satisfaction based on the use of cementing techniques in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare end-of-stem tip pain and PROMs with hybrid and modified hybrid cementing techniques in revision TKAs. Method Sixty-two cases of revision TKA performed by a single surgeon were divided into two groups based on the cementing technique with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Two types of cementing technique for femoral and tibial stems were used as follows: (1) a hybrid cementing technique (33 cases), in which cement was applied immediately distal to the modular junction of the stem and the component while the distal stem was press-fitted into the diaphysis without using cement; and (2) a modified hybrid cementing technique (29 cases), in which cement was applied to the tip of femoral and tibial stems. The thigh and shin were assessed for the end-of-stem tip pain. Patient satisfaction was evaluated based on the satisfaction items of New Knee Society Score. Results Modified hybrid cementing significantly lowered the percentage of patients manifesting shin pain (3.4% vs. 24.2%, p = 0.029). Patients treated with the modified hybrid cementing technique showed a higher satisfaction rate (p = 0.003). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an increase in the odds of satisfaction 32.686-fold (p = 0.004) in patients without pain at the end-of-stem tip in the shin and 9.261-fold (p = 0.027) in patients treated with the modified hybrid cementing technique. Conclusion The modified hybrid cementing technique for fixation of long-stem in revision TKAs reduced the end-of-stem tip pain in the shin, leading to significantly higher satisfaction compared with the hybrid cementing technique after revision TKA.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether direct visualization of adjustable-loop cortical suspensory button deployment onto the lateral femur increases the cortical contact rate of the button, thereby improving clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Sixty-five single-bundle anteromedial portal ACL reconstructions using an adjustable-loop button were retrospectively divided into 2 groups according to use of the blind pulling technique (control group; 32 patients) or the direct visualization technique (visualization group; 33 patients) when confirming deployment of the button. Cortical contact rate of the button on immediate and 2-year postoperative radiographs, knee stability measured using a KT-1000 arthrometer, and functional scores (Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee score) at 2 years postoperative were compared between the groups. There was no significant difference in femoral cortical contact rate between the groups immediately (56% control group vs 55% visualization group; P=1.000) and at 2 years postoperative (78% control group vs 82% visualization group; P=.764). At 2 years postoperative, there was no difference between the groups regarding knee stability (1.3±0.9 mm vs 1.5±0.8 mm, respectively; P=.404), Lysholm score (P=.436), and International Knee Documentation Committee score (P=.507). Confirmation of adjustable-loop button deployment under direct visualization during anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction neither increased cortical contact rate nor improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the medial compartment continues to sustain some loading after medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) in varus-deformed knees, no studies have examined the relationship between medial meniscal extrusion (MME) and patient-reported outcome measures after MOWHTO. PURPOSE To examine whether compartmental baseline MME was associated with patient-reported outcome measures after MOWHTO. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS This retrospective study was composed of 149 MOWHTOs in 147 patients with clinical and radiological assessments. Patients were grouped according to severity of MME in the medial compartment at the time of surgery. MME was categorized into 4 groups according to MOAKS (MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] Osteoarthritis Knee Score) criteria and relative value of MME. We compared preoperative characteristics, including Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading scale, meniscal tear pattern, and postoperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) subscores. Associations between extent of MME and WOMAC subscores at postoperative 1 and 2 years were assessed with generalized linear models. RESULTS Pattern of meniscal tear (P < .05) and KL grade (P < .05) were associated with MME. Patients with KL grades 3 and 4 at the time of surgery had significantly greater MME than those with KL grade 2 (P < .05). When patients were divided into 4 groups according to MOAKS criteria at the time of surgery, there were significant differences in WOMAC pain scores among groups at 1 and 2 years after the operation (all P < .05). The WOMAC function score also differed among groups at postoperative 1 year (P < .05) but not postoperative 2 years (P > .05). When patients were divided into 4 groups according to relative MME at the time surgery, the WOMAC pain score differed significantly among groups at postoperative 1 and 2 years (all P < .05). Analysis of WOMAC pain score as the dependent variable in multivariate analyses revealed that severity of absolute and relative MME and KL grade were independent predictors of worse WOMAC pain score at postoperative 1 and 2 years (all P < .05). CONCLUSION Greater preoperative MME at the time of surgery was associated with inferior patient-reported outcomes, especially pain, in patients with MOWHTO at 1 and 2 years after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central sensitization (CS) has been recently identified as a significant risk factor for persistent pain and patient dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, it remains unclear as to whether the preoperative CS persists after the elimination of a nociceptive pain source by TKA, or how CS affects the quality of life after TKA. METHODS A total of 222 consecutive patients undergoing primary TKA were enrolled in the study. All patients were preoperatively screened for CS using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) and categorized into either a CS (n = 55; CSI ≥ 40) or non-CS group (n = 167; CSI < 40). CSI, pain visual analog scale (VAS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, and satisfaction were recorded at postoperative 2 years. RESULTS Two years after TKA, preoperative CS remained unchanged; there was no difference between preoperative and postoperative CSI scores, and both preoperative and postoperative CSI severity levels were similar (P > .1). The CS group showed worse pain VAS, KSS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores than did the non-CS group (P < .01) and more patients in the CS group were dissatisfied with all activities (P < .01). However, a similar percentage of the CS group achieved the previously documented minimal clinically important difference in pain VAS and KSS, compared with the non-CS group. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that preoperative CSI scores were associated with dissatisfaction at postoperative 2 years. CONCLUSION Preoperative CS was persistent at 2 years after TKA. Although CS patients achieved comparable clinical improvement following TKA, CS patients had worse quality of life, functional disability, and dissatisfaction than non-CS patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the implant position and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) regarding joint awareness using the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) following between fixed-bearing (FB) and mobile-bearing (MB) unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with a minimum of five years' follow-up. METHODS One hundred fifteen consecutive UKAs (58 FB UKAs and 57 MB UKAs) performed were retrospectively evaluated. We compared the radiographic parameters including component positions and relationships as well as lower extremity alignment. Post-operative clinical outcomes were assessed using Knee Society Score (KSS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, Tegner activity score, and FJS. RESULTS The MB UKA group showed more convergent componentry relationship between femoral and tibial components (p < 0.001). The joint line of the MB UKA group was restored significantly better (p < 0.05). In addition, the positioning of femoral and tibial components of the MB UKA group showed less deviation from the weight-bearing line (WBL) (p < 0.05). Although there were no differences in KSS, WOMAC, and Tegner activity scores between the groups, the MB UKA group showed significantly better FJS than did the FB UKA group at five years post-operatively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The MB UKA group had a more convergent componentry relationship, less deviation from WBL, better joint-line restoration, and reduced joint awareness than did the FB UKA group at five years follow-up.

Abstract
The anterolateral ligament (ALL) plays an important role in isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by providing rotational stability in a combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolaterally injured knee. Although the ALL has been difficult to characterize anatomically, it originates near the lateral epicondyle of the distal femur and inserts into the proximal tibia between Gerdy's tubercle and the fibula head. Here, we describe an isometric ALL reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon and an adjustable length loop suspensory tibial fixation. With this technique, it is possible to provide good stability and satisfactory results for patients with rotational instability of the knee.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of treating patients with a cartilage defect of the knee with microfractures and porcine-derived collagen-augmented chondrogenesis technique (C-ACT). METHODS One hundred participants were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 48, microfracture) or the investigational group (n = 52, C-ACT). Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes were assessed 12 and 24 months postoperatively for efficacy and adverse events. Magnetic Resonance Observation of Cartilage Repair Tissue (MOCART) assessment was used to analyze cartilage tissue repair. MRI outcomes for 50% defect filling and repaired tissue/reference cartilage (RT/RC) ratio were quantified using T2 mapping. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and 20% improvement, minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and patient acceptable symptom state for Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the International Knee Documentation Committee score. RESULTS MOCART scores in the investigation group showed improved defect repair and filling (P = .0201), integration with the border zone (P = .0062), and effusion (P = .0079). MRI outcomes showed that the odds ratio (OR) for ≥50% defect filling at 12 months was statistically higher in the investigation group (OR 3.984, P = .0377). Moreover, the likelihood of the RT/RC OR becoming ≥1 was significantly higher (OR 11.37, P = .0126) in the investigation group. At 24 months postoperatively, the OR for the VAS 20% improvement rate was significantly higher in the investigational group (OR 2.808, P = .047). Twenty-three patients (52.3%) in the control group and 35 (77.8%) in the investigation group demonstrated more than the MCID of KOOS pain from baseline to 1 year postoperatively, with a significant difference between groups (P = .0116). CONCLUSION In this multicenter randomized trial, the addition of C-ACT resulted in better filling of cartilage defect of the knee joint.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although current advances in surgical techniques have improved outcomes of the medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), the factors associated with patient dissatisfaction remain unclear. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for patient dissatisfaction following contemporary MOWHTO. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data on 140 consecutive MOWHTO patients using an anatomical locking plate with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Patient demographics, pain Visual Analogue Scale, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade, activity level, articular cartilage and meniscal status, hip-knee-ankle angle, change in alignment, and postoperative weight-bearing line ratio were recorded. Patients were categorized using the New Knee Society Score into satisfied (satisfaction score ≥20) or dissatisfied (satisfaction score <20) groups. Patient and surgical factors were compared between the groups by the identified predictors. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors, including K-L grade IV medial osteoarthritis (OA), preoperative pain Visual Analogue Scale, total Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle, change in alignment, and partial meniscectomy. RESULTS Of the 140 patients, 24 (17.1%) were dissatisfied with their results. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that only K-L grade IV medial OA was statistically associated with patient dissatisfaction following MOWHTO (odds ratio 4.911, 95% confidence interval 1.820-13.256, P < .01). CONCLUSION Severe medial OA was an independent risk factor for dissatisfaction following contemporary MOWHTO using a rigid locking plate. Surgeons should take this into consideration when counseling and choosing surgical options in MOWHTO candidates with severe medial OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the epidemiology and causes of bearing dislocations following mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MUKA) and determined whether the incidence of primary bearing dislocations decreases as surgeon experience increases. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the bearing dislocations following MUKAs performed by 14 surgeons with variable experience levels. Causes of bearing dislocations were determined based on the surgical records, radiographs, and operator's suggestion. Using a chi-squared test, the incidence of bearing dislocation was compared between the first 50, the second 50, and the next 100 unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKAs) of each surgeon's cohort. RESULTS There were 67 (3.6%) bearing dislocations from 1853 MUKAs. The mean time to bearing dislocations after index MUKAs was 33 months (range, 1-144 months); 55% of the bearing dislocations occurred within 2 years after the index MUKAs. Primary bearing dislocations (n = 58) were the most common, followed by secondary (n = 6) and traumatic dislocations (n = 3). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bearing dislocation between the first 50 and second 50 UKAs for each surgeon. Two surgeons showed a significant decrease in bearing dislocations in their second 100 UKAs, while the other surgeons did not show a difference between their first 100 and second 100 UKAs. CONCLUSION Most bearing dislocations after MUKAs were related to technical errors such as component malposition or gap imbalance. This study did not confirm that the incidence of bearing dislocations decreases as the number of cases increases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, Case series.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and precision of femoral tunnel placement by expert and novice surgeons using an offset guide for single-bundle ACL reconstruction via the anteromedial (AM) portal. METHODS Twenty-five single-bundle ACL reconstructions performed by a novice surgeon were matched with 25 ACL reconstructions performed by an expert surgeon, based on one-to-one propensity score matching. The same technique was used by both groups for femoral tunnel placement using a 7-mm offset guide through the AM portal. Using the Bernard and Hertel grid method for postoperative three-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography, the accuracy and precision of various tunnel positions were compared. RESULTS No differences were found between the proximal-distal and anterior-posterior femoral tunnel placements by the two groups (proximal-distal; 30.5% involving experts, and 32.5% by novices, n.s) (anterior-posterior; 32.6% involving experts, and 31.6% by novice, n.s). The accuracy of the femoral tunnel positions, based on the average distance from the tunnel center to the center of ACL direct insertion, was similar between the two groups (n.s). No differences were found between the groups in terms of precision of femoral tunnel positions (n.s). CONCLUSION Novice surgeons can achieve accuracy and precision comparable to experts in creating femoral tunnels via single-bundle ACL reconstruction through the AM portal using a femoral offset guide. We recommend the use of a femoral offset guide for ACL reconstruction during the learning phase of a novice surgeon for effective tunnel placement to reduce the learning curve required to perform accurate and reproducible ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cortical non-contact or delayed contact of an adjustable-loop button for femoral fixation could affect knee stability following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS Eighty subjects who underwent single-bundle ACL reconstruction using an adjustable-loop femoral cortical button were retrospectively reviewed regarding patient demographics, graft size, combined surgery, and postoperative 2-year results of knee stability, functional scores, and radiographic tunnel widening. We compared the contact and the non-contact groups determined by position of the button observed in immediate postoperative radiographs. According to 2-year postoperative radiographs, the non-contact group was further divided into two subgroups (delayed contact and persisting non-contact subgroups) and results were compared. RESULTS The contact group had 46 patients and the non-contact group had 34 patients. The average gap distance in the non-contact group was 1.9 ± 0.6 (1.1-3.4) mm. There were no significant differences in KT-1000 arthrometric knee stability (p = .667) or Lysholm score (p = .198), or International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score (p = .091) between the two groups. No significant differences in tunnel widening were found at femoral and tibial tunnels on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs (p > .1, all tunnels). In addition, delayed contact subgroup and persisting non-contact subgroup showed similar radiographic and clinical outcomes. CONCLUSION Surgeons should strive to obtain cortical contact of the adjustable-loop femoral button. Nevertheless, cortical non-contact with less than 3 mm of gap distance did not affect knee stability, radiographic outcomes, or clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to use meta-analysis techniques to evaluate the efficacy and safety of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. METHODS Multiple comprehensive databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library, were searched in November 2018 for studies that compared the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular PDRN injection for the knee joint with hyaluronic acid (HA) injection. Two reviewers independently determined study inclusion and they extracted data using a standardized data extraction form. The predefined primary outcome was Visual Analogue Scale. Secondary outcomes included Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Society Score (KSS), and adverse events. RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. After 1 and 2 months, patients in the PDRN group showed significantly better improvement in pain than the HA group (P = .04 and P = .02, respectively). There was no significant difference in pain after 4 months. The pooled analysis showed that no significant differences were seen in function (KOOS and KSS) scores between the PDRN and HA groups (all P > .05) at all time points. There was no significant difference in adverse events between 2 groups (relative risks = 2.15, 95% confidential interval: 0.17-26.67, P = .55). CONCLUSION The intra-articular use of PDRN was similar in function to HA, and the pain-relief effect was superior to HA for 2 months post-injection. Therefore, it could be a favorable alternative to HA to treat persistent pain associated with knee OA while avoiding side effects.Level of evidence I.

Abstract
A small nonaxisymmetric (3D) magnetic field can induce nonambipolar transport of the particle species confined in a tokamak and thus a significant change of plasma rotation. This process can be in a favor of instability control in the region where the tokamak plasma is sufficiently collisional and resistive, as observed in the applications of n=1 resonant magnetic perturbations to the KSTAR tokamak. The plasma rotation can be globally accelerated due to radially drifting electrons and constrained to the electron root, if the radial transport is enhanced by an amplified 3D response. This mechanism is verified by a kinetically self-consistent magnetohydrodynamic modeling for both response and transport, which offers the quantitative explanations on the internal n=1 structure detected by electron-cyclotron-emission imaging and the cocurrent plasma spinning observed in the experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A highly conforming, anterior-stabilized (AS) insert is designed to provide anteroposterior (AP) stability of the posterior-stabilized (PS) insert without a post. The purpose of this study was to compare the static and dynamic stability and function of AS and PS total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the same patients. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial was performed in 45 patients scheduled to undergo same-day bilateral TKA. One knee was randomly assigned to receive an AS TKA, and the other knee was scheduled for a PS TKA from the same knee system. At 2 years postoperatively, the static AP stability was compared using anterior and posterior drawer stress radiographs at 90° knee flexion. Dynamic AP stability was evaluated using one-leg standing lateral fluoroscopic images throughout the range of motion. Knee function was compared using the Knee Society Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score. RESULTS At 2 years postoperatively, there was a significant difference in knee AP laxity at 90° of flexion between the two groups (7.6 ± 3.9 mm in the AS group vs 2.2 ± 2.3 in the PS group, P < .001). However, there were no differences in dynamic AP stability under one-leg standing fluoroscopic lateral images at 30°, 60°, and 90° knee flexion (P = .732, P = .764, and P = .679, respectively). The Knee Society Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores were not significantly different between the two groups (P = .641 and P = .582, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite the fact that the AS TKA group showed significantly more static posterior displacement than the PS TKA group at 90° of knee flexion, both the AS and PS TKA groups showed similar dynamic stability under weight-bearing conditions and knee function at 2 years postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to investigate whether central sensitization (CS) was associated with patient dissatisfaction after revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Between 2012 and 2016, 68 cases (68 patients) of revision TKA performed by a single surgeon were included in this study with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Patients were categorized into 2 groups by 40-point preoperative Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) scores. The control group consisted of 48 patients (48 knees) with CSI scores of less than 40 points, while the CS group consisted of 20 patients (20 knees) with CSI scores of 40 points or more. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using an 11-point visual analog scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using the satisfaction items of the new Knee Society Scores, where scores ≥20 indicated satisfaction. RESULTS Higher preoperative pain VAS scores in the CS group were maintained 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively (all P < .05). The CS group showed significantly worse pain, function subscores, and total scores of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index preoperatively and at 2 years postoperatively. Forty-four (91.7%) patients in the control group and 3 (15.0%) patients in the CS group were satisfied with their revision TKAs (P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the odds of dissatisfaction after revision TKAs were increased 39.081 times (95% confidence interval 6.926-220.504, P < .001) in patients with CSI scores ≥40. Higher VAS intensity 2 years postoperatively also predicted dissatisfaction following revision TKA (odds ratio 1.864, 95% confidence interval 1.086-3.199, P = .024). CONCLUSION CS is a risk factor for persistent postoperative pain and dissatisfaction in patients undergoing revision TKAs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.
