💪 Getting ready for Rotator Cuff Surgery (ARCR)? 🤕 This new systematic review in EFORT Open

📅 Reviews gives the clearest timeline yet on what to expect post-op!

👉 It's important to set realistic expectations—especially since function and pain recovery happen at different speeds:

🔹 Good News on Pain: Your pain relief will come fast! Over half the expected pain improvement happens by 3 months.

🔹 Be Patient with Function: Scores that include function (like ASES/CMS) take longer, hitting the 50% recovery mark around 6 months. You're recovered by 1 year.

🔹 ROM is a Grind: Don't be discouraged! Your Range of Motion (ROM) recovery is the slowest part, generally starting to improve only after 6 months.

🔹 Size Doesn't Matter (Early On): Recovery patterns were surprisingly similar regardless of whether the tear was small/medium or large/massive.

➡️ Share this with anyone facing ARCR so they know what their journey looks like! 👇

Ever wonder how much of an injection's benefit is the injection and how much is the mind? 🤔 When treating knee OA with intra-articular shots, the placebo effect is HUGE!

📊 A massive new systematic review in EFORT Open Reviews looked at 73 studies to quantify the placebo response to saline injections:

🔹 It's Real: The "fake" shot gave clinically significant relief for pain, function, and QoL at 1, 3, and 6 months. Over 50% of patients were "responders." 🤯

🔹 It Lasts: The effect peaks surprisingly late—between 4 and 8 months!

🔹 Who Responds Best? The placebo response was stronger in women and in newer studies.

👉 his confirms: If your trial doesn't have a placebo arm, your results are likely inflated! Essential reading for anyone managing knee OA! 👇

👩‍⚕️ 👨‍⚕️ Tired of managing IV lines for TXA in your Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) patients? 💉 There’s good news for your Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols!

📊 A new meta-analysis in EFORT Open Reviews compared oral (PO) TXA vs. intravenous (IV) TXA in TKA patients. The results are clear: Oral TXA is just as effective and safe as IV TXA! 🎉

👉 What does this mean for you?

🔹 Comparable Efficacy: Same control over Hb drop and transfusion rates.

🔹 Comparable Safety: No significant difference in complications.

🔹 The Big Win: Oral TXA is much cheaper (up to 90% cost savings!) and easier to administer. 💊

Switching to oral TXA 2 hours pre-op could simplify your blood management without sacrificing safety or efficacy. Check out the evidence! 👇

Got a patient with advanced knee OA and suddenly severe pain? 🤔 Don't miss a Proximal Tibial Stress Fracture! It's a tricky diagnosis, often hiding behind OA symptoms.

📰 A new EFORT Open Reviews article dives into this "vicious cycle" of varus deformity, OA, and fracture. 😵

❓ The BIG question: How do you fix the fracture AND the arthritis in one go? 🛠️

🔹 Forget Conservative Rx: It leads to stiffness and nonunion. One-stage TKA is the way to go! 🎯

🔹 The Power of PFR: For stiff nonunions or malunions, adding Partial Fibular Resection to the long-stem TKA is a game-changer. It helps compress the fracture and correct the alignment without exposing the fracture site (which risks wound necrosis!). 🔪

👉 Check out the full paper for the stepwise management approach, including the Mullaji and Mittal classifications! 👇
