📢 Free to read through April 4: In , Lizcano et al. found that patients who underwent robotically assisted TKA did no better in terms of function, patient-reported outcomes, or radiographic measures at 6 months postoperatively than did patients who underwent conventional TKA.

"Robotic technology offers minimal early functional benefit (at 1 month) compared with conventional gap balancing, despite increased costs," the authors write. "Until future studies demonstrate benefits of robotically assisted TKA that are large enough for patients to perceive, we recommend against its use."

"I agree with the authors in this conclusion," writes Nicholas J. Giori MD, PhD in a commentary. "I am additionally concerned about the future of our field as we may be training the next generation of surgeons to become dependent on technology that is of questionable value, thus committing our healthcare system to higher costs over the long run with no clear benefit."

"The 'confidence paradox' is one of the most pervasive challenges women face in their professional lives. Women are told to be confident, speak up, assert themselves, and lead with authority, but when they do exactly that, they often face backlash, criticism, or are labeled as aggressive, arrogant, or 'overconfident'," writes Debra Zillmer MD in . "A well-informed resident selection committee should be able to determine whether a candidate exhibits optimism or overconfidence during an interview."

"Nowadays, fi****ms statistics typically focus on fatalities, yet... for each gun-related death, there are two nonlethal injuries," writes Stuart Green MD in the latest column. "The fatalities usually don’t involve orthopaedic surgeons... But those who survive their gunshot injuries frequently sustain serious musculoskeletal dysfunction—a consequence of spinal, pelvic, shoulder, or limb projectile pe*******on."

: Newly appointed Associate Editor, long time contributor to , and proud dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, Dr. Joseph Tanenbaum took time out of his busy schedule to share what first drew him to practice as an orthopaedic surgeon. “The people within orthopaedics—from attendings to residents, and from APPs to nurses and support staff—are some of the most intellectually honest people I have ever met,” he shared. “The more time I spent with these impressive people in med school, the more I learned just how much orthopaedists can help their patients day in and day out.”

This group of orthopaedists was also responsible for cultivating his interest in high-quality research that moves the specialty of orthopaedic surgery forward. “Bearing witness to their innovations and overall willingness to embrace new ideas excited me about the future of the field,” he said.

When asked what advice was given to him at the beginning of his career that has stood the test of time, Dr. Tanenbaum offered up three quotes that have stuck with him since intern year orientation:

1. Hard work is only the beginning;
2. Residency is only a 5- year sentence;
3. Pick a residency and then join a practice where the people seem happy (this piece of advice was given to him by his mother).

For Dr. Tanenbaum, being an Associate Editor for CORR is a way to honor his past as he looks toward the future. “Working with CORR means giving back to our community by improving the research that ultimately guides our field and that moves patient care forward.” And we are grateful to have him on board!

In a small population of military service members who underwent osseointegration surgery, Churovich et al. found that living with a partner was positively associated with quality of life, being single was positively associated with more prosthetic use, and those with higher educational attainment had worse outcomes in both categories.

"We also found that patients undergoing rehabilitation at outside facilities reported better outcomes than patients undergoing rehabilitation at integrative amputee care centers administered by the military," the authors write.

"Churovich et al. have established a novel MCID for the osseointegration population, which will enable future studies using PROMs," writes Sarah Lindsay MD in a commentary. "Efforts should be directed at understanding why sociodemographic factors previously found to be protective in other surgical populations are not protective in patients who have undergone transfemoral osseointegration."

: In a study on proximal tibia fractures, Vaartjes et al. found that patients were less likely to achieve full recovery if they had a substantial preoperative fracture displacement (>10 mm gap or >8 mm stepoff), postoperative residual incongruence > 4 mm, or inadequate tibial alignment (MPTA 92°, PPTA 14°) after surgery.

"In clinical practice, postoperative radiographs are used to evaluate operative results," the authors write. "This information can help physicians provide more-informed patient counseling and help them set realistic expectations."

"We tend to oversimplify deformity by applying 2D concepts to a 3D problem," writes Thomas DeCoster MD in a commentary. "We need to think in 3D, specifically as it relates to fracture malalignment and the 6° of freedom (3 rotations) by which fracture fragments may be malaligned."

Among patients with Enneking II/II+III pelvic tumors who have retained part of the acetabulum, Li et al. found that ipsilateral autologous femoral head autografting combined with hip arthroplasty provided good functional outcomes and relatively few major complications 5 years later.

"The functional advantages we observed in our patients may stem from the smaller resection range (preservation of pelvic alignment), preservation of the abduction muscle, low dislocation rate, and soft tissue reconstruction," the authors write.

"Although they used a fairly select indication... the reported results were promising," writes Anthony Griffin MSc in a commentary. "Given that many surgical centers may not have access to quality bone banks for bulk allograft reconstructions, this could be a potentially useful technique."
