This prospective study identified several factors that may predict inadequate polyethylene glycol preparation independent of compliance with preparation instructions and procedure starting time. This result may help to identify patients at an increased risk for inadequate bowel preparation for whom alternative preparation protocols would be beneficial.

Abstract This study focuses on the development of a multiplex pathogen‐detection platform based on polydiacetylene (PDA) using a novel immobilization procedure. PDA liposome‐based solid sensors have a critical drawback as the PDA liposomes are not stably immobilized onto the solid substrate. Therefore, to overcome this problem, an interlinker, ethylenediamine, is introduced, which acts as a cross‐linker between individual PDA liposomes. The quantity of ethylenediamine added was optimized to 1 m

INTRODUCTION: Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in haemophilic arthropathy can reduce severe joint pain and improve functional disability, it is technically demanding. AIM: To evaluate mid-term outcomes and complications of TKA in haemophilic arthropathy. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed 131 consecutive primary TKAs in a single institute. The mean age was 41.0 years old, and the mean follow-up period was 6.8 years. Clinical and radiographic results were evaluated. Complications

PURPOSE: Long-term clinical and radiographic results and survival rates were compared between closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTOs) and fixed-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with similar demographics. METHODS: Sixty HTOs and 50 UKAs completed between 1992 and 1998 were retrospectively reviewed. There were no significant differences in pre-operative demographics. The mean follow-up period was 10.7 ± 5.7 years for HTO and 12.0 ± 7.1 years for UKA (n.s.). The Knee S

BACKGROUND: There have been little data concerning serial changes in the joint space width (JSW) and joint line convergence angle over the course of follow-up periods after closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO). PURPOSE: To evaluate serial changes in the JSW and joint line convergence angle after CWHTO. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A total of 100 computer-assisted CWHTOs with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years (mean, 4.4 years) were analyzed. Clinically, the

PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to compare clinical results after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the Attune and PFC Sigma knee designs and to investigate whether the use of the Attune prosthesis increased the risk of patellar injury in Asian patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred knees that underwent TKA using Attune (group A) were compared to 300 knees that underwent TKA using PFC Sigma (group B). The Knee Society Knee Score (KS) and Function Score (FS), and range of motio

PURPOSE: In the present study, the early results of sensor-assisted versus manually balanced posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis with varus deformities were prospectively compared. METHODS: Fifty patients undergoing sensor-assisted TKA (group S) and 50 patients receiving manually balanced TKA (group M) were prospectively compared. The groups did not differ in terms of demographics, preoperative clinical status, or severity of deformity. The knee and function sco

Background: Previous studies have reported patellofemoral cartilage degeneration and analyzed the factors affecting degeneration after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, no studies have evaluated patellofemoral cartilage degeneration or examined the factors affecting degeneration after closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO). Purpose: To investigate and compare patellofemoral cartilage degeneration after CWHTO and OWHTO via arthroscopic evaluation and to analyze the factors af

Wireless intraoperative load sensors have been used to improve the quality of soft-tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Recent studies using the sensors have demonstrated reductions in gap imbalance, as well as early improvement of patient-reported clinical outcomes and low rates of arthrofibrosis. However, well-designed prospective studies are needed to determine whether the application of the sensor technology for TKA will have clinical benefits and improve the survival of pro

BACKGROUND: Understanding sarcopenia is becoming increasingly important as society ages. This comprehensive review covers the definition, epidemiology, causes, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, management, and future directions for the management of sarcopenia, and the major issues related to sarcopenia in the knee joint. MAIN TEXT: Sarcopenia, a condition related to aging, is characterized by decreased muscle mass and strength, which significantly affects physical function. Its prevalence ma
