TL;DR: This report has reviewed and analyzed recent reports concerning mechanical, anatomic, and kinematic axis/alignment schemes used in total knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: Patients undergoing a lower-extremity total joint arthroplasty who engage in impact sports should be counseled regarding their potential increased risk of aseptic loosening; however, given the weak evidence available, it is believed that higher-level studies are necessary to clearly define the risk factors, particularly with newer-generation constructs.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to highlight the recent evidence concerning the treatment options across the spectrum of management of osteonecrosis of the knee including lesion observation, medications, joint preserving techniques, and total joint arthroplasties.

TL;DR: Core decompression has optimal outcomes when used in the earliest, precollapse disease stages and adjunct treatment methods combining core decompression with growth factors, bone morphogenic proteins, stem cells, and bone grafting have demonstrated positive results.

TL;DR: BPO is more effective than CHG at reducing C acnes on the shoulder and should be considered as an adjunctive preoperative skin preparation considering its potential benefit, low risk, and low cost.
