Today's foot and ankle edition covers radiographic assessment techniques for pediatric deformities, biomechanical changes in first MTP osteoarthritis, predictors of calcaneoplasty success, and evidence on gastrocnemius recession procedures. All studies are open access and explore practical clinical questions relevant to daily foot and ankle practice.

Today's shoulder and elbow edition explores critical decision-making and diagnostic challenges across the spectrum from adult arthroplasty to pediatric trauma. We examine how surgeons choose between reverse and total shoulder arthroplasty in cuff-intact osteoarthritis, factors affecting coracoid graft survival after Latarjet procedures, technical considerations for preventing stem subsidence in reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and systematic diagnostic pitfalls in pediatric elbow fractures.

Today's knee edition covers four diverse topics in knee surgery and rehabilitation. We explore whether lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty can be successfully performed through a medial approach, examine the co-design process for pain intervention models, evaluate the additive benefit of iPACK blocks over local infiltration analgesia, and review predictive factors for rehabilitation outcomes after joint arthroplasty.

Today's hip edition covers diagnostic innovations for periprosthetic joint infection, biomechanical considerations in spinopelvic alignment, femoral stem design comparison, and advanced functional testing methods.

This sports medicine edition covers four open-access studies examining key clinical questions in shoulder and knee surgery. Topics include optimal timing for rotator cuff repair based on tear etiology, a novel bone density assessment protocol for the proximal humerus, the utility of critical shoulder angle measurements following shoulder dislocation, and the extended recovery timeline following ACL reconstruction.

Today's trauma edition covers four key studies: pediatric forearm nail retention rates with protrusion thresholds, clavicle hook plate peri-implant fracture risk factors, minimally invasive versus open talonavicular arthrodesis outcomes, and proximal femoral replacement complication patterns across oncologic and non-oncologic indications.

Today's hand edition covers four diverse topics in hand surgery. We examine a narrative review showing progressively shorter return-to-work times with less invasive carpal tunnel release techniques, a small case series demonstrating successful DRUJ stabilization with isolated ulnar shortening osteotomy, a prospective study revealing low lymphedema risk in post-breast cancer patients undergoing elective hand surgery, and a cost analysis comparing office-based versus hospital-based carpal tunnel procedures.

Today's foot and ankle edition covers four studies examining Achilles tendon recovery assessment, surgical outcomes for posterior heel pain, and pediatric foot deformity evaluation. We explore novel imaging techniques for monitoring tendon healing, investigate how rupture affects complex tendon biomechanics, review calcaneoplasty effectiveness regardless of bump morphology, and validate radiographic measurements against functional testing in children.

Today's shoulder and elbow edition covers four important studies spanning infection prevention, pediatric trauma outcomes, regenerative medicine, and perioperative risk assessment. We examine how povidone-iodine irrigation can reduce bacterial contamination in reverse shoulder arthroplasty, identify risk factors for complications in pediatric proximal radius fractures, evaluate platelet-rich plasma therapy effectiveness across different shoulder procedures, and compare postoperative complication rates between influenza and COVID-19 patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty.

Today's knee edition examines four studies spanning anesthesia techniques, enhanced recovery protocols, and navigation technology in total knee arthroplasty. We explore regional anesthesia options for elderly patients, implementation of ERAS protocols in geriatric populations, accuracy of computer-assisted navigation, and validation of novel navigation platforms.
