Abstract
The effective relief of postsurgical pain in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy is important to allow the initiation of activities of daily living. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the analgesic efficacy of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant added to ropivacaine by the intra-articular route. METHOD Seventy patients underwent knee arthroscopy which were randomly assigned into two groups (n=35). The RD group received ropivacaine 1.5mg/kg plus dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg intra-articularly. Group R received ropivacaine 1.5mg/kg intra-articularly. The analgesic effect was evaluated by measuring the intensity of pain (VAS score) and the duration of analgesia. RESULTS A longer duration of the analgesic effect was observed in the RD group (655min) compared to the R group (318min) being statistically significant (p=0.03). CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to intra-articular ropivacaine improves the quality and duration of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fat of the synovial joints can be used to maintain the joint structure. Our objective is to analyse the evolution of joint degeneration in knees with and without adipose pack. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY In six sheep, the anterior cruciate ligament was sectioned in both knees, to cause osteoarthritis. In one group the fat pack was preserved and in another group it was completely removed. We performed a histological and molecular biology study analyzing the expression, in the synovial membrane, subchondral bone, cartilage, fat, meniscus, and synovial fluid, of RUNX2, PTHrP, cathepsin-K, and MCP1. RESULTS We did not find morphological differences. We found increased expression of RUNX2 in synovial membrane, PTHrP and Cathepsin K in synovial fluid in the group without fat, and increased expression of RUNX2 in the meniscus and MCP1 in synovial fluid in the group with fat. CONCLUSION Infrapatellar fat participates in the inflammatory process that accompanies osteoarthritis, since Hoffa fat pad resection alters pro-inflammatory markers, while the model with intact fat increases the pro-inflammatory marker MCP1 in synovial fluid.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Closing wedge high tibial osteotomy (CW-HTO) is a surgical option for active patients with medial knee pain and mild-moderate osteoarthritis with varus limb deformity. Despite its good reported results, this technique has been losing popularity. The aim of this study was to analyse the survival rate, clinical functional outcomes and radiological results of CW-HTO. METHODS It is a retrospective case series study. Seventy patients with primary knee osteoarthritis, operated on between 2010 and 2020 in a single Spanish tertiary hospital using the CW-HTO technique and with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were analysed. RESULTS Survival rate was 87.6% and 75.5% after a follow-up of 5 and 10 years respectively. Functional outcomes were good-to-excellent (KSS 77.7/100 and OKS 35.6/48) and good pain control (VAS 3.9/10) and high satisfaction (7.2/10) were achieved. Limb varus malalignment was significantly corrected (mean postoperative HKA angle 177.6° and MPTA 90.7°). However, 30% of patients presented hypocorrection, which was associated with inferior survival, functionality and satisfaction. CONCLUSION CW-HTO technique can be useful for patients with knee osteoarthritis and varus limb. It allows to correct varus malalignment while achieving good-to-excellent functional outcomes, good pain control, high patient satisfaction and acceptable medium-long term survival rate. However, it is associated with a non-negligible risk of hypocorrection or medial hinge disruption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research using osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT) has shown poorer outcomes with increasing patient age. The aim of this article is to evaluate a cohort of patients that received an OAT and to correlate their clinical results with their age at procedure. METHODS Patients that underwent an OAT to treat an osteochondral (OC) lesion with a minimum 24-month follow-up were included. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their age at procedure (<40 years and ≥40 years). Postoperatively, each patient completed the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Lysholm scales. RESULTS 51 patients were included (35<40 years, 16≥40 years). Mean follow-up was 4.2 years (2-7). For patients<40 years, IKDC averaged 80.8 (SD 15.9) versus 71.2 (SD 19.4) in ≥40 years (p=0.03). For patients <40 years, Lysholm averaged 85.9 (SD 10.8) versus 77.0 (SD 21.6) in ≥40 years (p=0.02). For patients<40 years, KOOS averaged 78.3 (SD 11.8) versus 68.9 (SD 18.5) in ≥40 years (p=0.01). There was a 100% sensibility in identifying all the patients with a poor IKDC and Lysholm from 34 years old (AUC 0.76 and 0.8). CONCLUSIONS OAT has better outcomes in patients younger than 40 years compared to patients older than 40 years. Based on the prognostic capacity of age, the ideal candidate for an OAT is a patient younger than 34 years old.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aseptic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure has been associated with radiolucent lines. This study aimed to determine the impact of the early appearance of radiolucent lines (linear images of 1, 2, or > 2mm at the cement-bone interface) around the TKA on prosthetic survival and functional outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients during a 2-20 years follow-up. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of RA patients treated with TKA between 2000 and 2011. We comparatively analyzed patients with and without radiolucent lines around implants. Clinical outcomes were assessed with the knee society score (KSS) collected before surgery, at years 2, 5, and 10, and at the last postoperative follow-up. The knee society roentgenographic evaluation system was used to analyze the impact of radiolucent lines around the implants at 1, 2, 5, and more than ten years of follow-up. The reoperation and prosthetic survival rates were calculated at the end of the follow-up. RESULTS The study series included 72 TKAs with a median follow-up of 13.2 years (range: 4.0-21.0), of which 16 (22.2%) had radiolucent lines. We did not observe aseptic failure, and prosthetic survival at the end of the study was 94.4% (n=68). The KSS improved significantly (p<0.001) between preoperative values at 2, 5, and 10 years and the end of follow-up, with no differences between patients with and without radiolucent lines. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that the early appearance of radiolucent lines around a TKA in RA patients does not significantly impact prosthetic survival or long-term functional outcomes at 13 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) survival and clinical and radiological outcomes in our institution. METHODS A retrospective evaluation of our institution patellofemoral arthroplasty cases from 2006 to 2018 was performed; the n sample after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria was 21. All patients excepting one were female with a median age of 63 (20-78). A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis at ten years was calculated. Informed consent was obtained from all patients prior being included in the study. RESULTS The total revision rate was 6 out of 21 patients (28.57%). The progression of the osteoarthritis in the tibiofemoral compartment was the main cause (50% of revision surgeries). The degree of satisfaction with the PFA was high, with a mean Kujala score of 70.09 and a mean OKS of 35.45 points. The VAS score improved significantly (P<.001) from a preoperative mean of 8.07 to a postoperative mean of 3.45, with an average improvement of 5 (2-8). Survival at 10 years, with revision for any reason as the endpoint, was 73.5%. A significant positive correlation between BMI and the WOMAC pain (r=.72, P<.01) and between BMI and the post-operative VAS (r=.67, P<.01) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The results of the case series under consideration suggest that PFA could be a possibility in the joint preservation surgery on the isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis. BMI >30 seems to be a negative predictor factor in relationship with the postoperative satisfaction, increasing the pain proportionally to this index and requiring more replacement surgery than patients with BMI <30. Meanwhile the radiologic parameters of the implant are not correlated with the clinical or functional outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the recognized importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in rotational stability of the knee, some studies still deny its role and even its existence. We studied the prevalence of the ALL in a Caucasian population, as well as its characteristics and anatomical relationships. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed on 20 knees from 10 embalmed cadavers. A lateral approach, as described by Steven Claes, was used and the relations of the ALL with the lateral epicondyle, lateral inferior genicular artery, lateral meniscus, Gerdy's tubercle and fibular head were recorded. Its length and its width were also measured. RESULTS The ALL was identified in 16 knees. Its origin was at a distance inferior to 1mm posterior and proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle and insertion within a mean distance of 2.1±0.6mm from the tibial articular surface, 20.6±1.3mm from the Gerdy's tubercle and 20.3±1.2mm from the fibular head. In all cases ALL presented mutual fibers with the lateral meniscus. The length was 35.8±4.6mm and the width was 4.2±1.3/4.9±1.0/6.5±1.5mm at its proximal, middle and distal third, respectively. No difference was found between gender and the dimensions of the ligament. CONCLUSIONS The ALL was found in 80% of the knees. Its origin is closely related to the lateral collateral ligament and its insertion is halfway between the fibular head and the Gerdy's tubercle. In all cases, we verified the connection between ALL and the lateral meniscus.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the recognized importance of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in rotational stability of the knee, some studies still deny its role and even its existence. We studied the prevalence of the ALL in a Caucasian population, as well as its characteristics and anatomical relationships. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was performed on 20 knees from 10 embalmed cadavers. A lateral approach, as described by Steven Claes, was used and the relations of the ALL with the lateral epicondyle, lateral inferior genicular artery, lateral meniscus, Gerdy's tubercle and fibular head were recorded. Its length and its width were also measured. RESULTS The ALL was identified in 16 knees. Its origin was at a distance inferior to 1mm posterior and proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle and insertion within a mean distance of 2.1±0.6mm from de tibial articular surface, 20.6±1.3mm from the Gerdy's tubercle and 20.3±1.2mm from the fibular head. In all cases ALL presented mutual fibers with the lateral meniscus. The length was 35.8±4.6mm and the width was 4.2±1.3/4.9±1.0/6.5±1.5mm at its proximal, middle and distal third, respectively. No difference was found between gender and the dimensions of the ligament. CONCLUSIONS The ALL was found in 80% of the knees. Its origin is closely related to the lateral collateral ligament and its insertion is halfway between the fibular head and the Gerdy's tubercle. In all cases, we verified the connection between ALL and the lateral meniscus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone neoplasms require an adequate clinical-radiographic evaluation for their diagnosis. Plain radiographs are the usual method to establish the diagnosis and evaluate differential diagnoses in the study of bone tumor pathology. OBJECTIVE To recognize the frequency of radiographic characteristics and associate them with bone tumor pathology. METHOD Radiographic data were collected from 132 patients with tumor pathology confirmed by biopsy from bone tumors service of the Traumatology and Orthopedics Hospital Unidades Médicas de Alta Especialidad Dr. Victorio de la Fuente Narváez, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Ciudad de México, during 2019. RESULTS 132 patients were registered. The most frequent benign tumor was osteochondroma (27.3%), and malignant was osteosarcoma (9.8%). Active lytic lesions (odds ratio [OR]: 6.9; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 2.83-16.85) or aggressive (OR: 26.85; 95% CI: 3.21-224) were associated with giant cells tumors. Poorly differentiated intraosseous blast lesions of bone lineage (OR: 36.15; 95% CI: 4.4-295.5) were associated with osteosarcoma. The periosteal reaction (OR: 36.15; 95% CI: 4.4-295.5), the moth-eaten or permeative pattern (OR: 11.75; 95% CI: 1.26-109) and the central location of the lesion (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.37-6.69) were associated with malignant tumor lesions. CONCLUSIONS Poorly defined intraosseous blast lesions of bone lineage, periosteal reaction, and moth-eaten or permeative pattern of destruction are associated with malignant lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone neoplasms are usually misdiagnosed causing a delay in their treatment. Bone neoplasms are usually confused with tendinitis, 31% of the cases corresponds to osteosarcomas and in 21% to Ewing's sarcomas. OBJECTIVE To create a clinical-radiographic instrument of high diagnostic suspicion of knee bone neoplasms to prevent a delay in diagnosis. METHOD A clinimetric study (sensitivity, consistency and validity) was performed in the bone tumor service, Hospital de Ortopedia de la Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad Dr. Victorio de la Fuente Narváez, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, in México City. RESULTS Characteristics of 153 patients were collected. For the sensitivity phase, 3 domains (signs, symptoms, and radiology) and 12 items were included. Consistency was evaluated with ICC (0.944), 95%CI (0.865-0.977), p < 0.001 and a-Cronbach (0.863). Index obtained a sensitivity of 0.80 and a specificity of 0.882 were obtained. The positive predictive value of the test was 66.6% and the negative predictive value was 93.75%. The positive likelihood ratio was 6.8 and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.2. Validity was evaluated using r-Pearson (0.894; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A high suspicion clinical-radiographic index was designed to detect malignant knee tumors with adequate sensitivity, specificity, appearance, content, criteria, and construct validity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) survival and clinical and radiological outcomes in our institution. METHODS A retrospective evaluation of our institution patellofemoral arthroplasty cases from 2006 to 2018 was performed; the n sample after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria was 21. All patients excepting one were female with a median age of 63 (20-78). A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis at ten years was calculated. Informed consent was obtained from all patients prior being included in the study. RESULTS The total revision rate was 6 out of 21 patients (28.57%). The progression of the osteoarthritis in the tibiofemoral compartment was the main cause (50% of revision surgeries). The degree of satisfaction with the PFA was high, with a mean Kujala score of 70.09 and a mean OKS of 35.45 points. The VAS score improved significantly (p<0.001) from a preoperative mean of 8.07 to a postoperative mean of 3.45, with an average improvement of 5 (2-8). Survival at 10 years, with revision for any reason as the endpoint, was 73.5%. A significant positive correlation between BMI and the WOMAC pain (r=0.72, p<0.01) and between BMI and the post-operative VAS (r=0.67, p<0.01) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The results of the case series under consideration suggest that PFA could be a possibility in the joint preservation surgery on the isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis. BMI >30 seems to be a negative predictor factor in relationship with the postoperative satisfaction, increasing the pain proportionally to this index and requiring more replacement surgery than patients with BMI <30. Meanwhile the radiologic parameters of the implant are not correlated with the clinical or functional outcomes.

Abstract
The effective relief of postsurgical pain in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy is important to allow the initiation of activities of daily living. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the analgesic efficacy of dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant added to ropivacaine by the intra-articular route. METHOD Seventy patients underwent knee arthroscopy which were randomly assigned into two groups (n=35). The RD group received ropivacaine 1.5mg/kg plus dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg intra-articularly. Group R received ropivacaine 1.5mg/kg intra-articularly. The analgesic effect was evaluated by measuring the intensity of pain (VAS score) and the duration of analgesia. RESULTS A longer duration of the analgesic effect was observed in the RD group (655min) compared to the R group (318min) being statistically significant (p=0.03). CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to intra-articular ropivacaine improves the quality and duration of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered the most common degenerative joint pathology in the adult population, being an important cause of disability worldwide, and its prevalence is increasingly associated with different factors, including obesity. Obesity together with metabolic syndrome have been associated with a pro-inflammatory state due to the release of cytokines that induce changes in cartilage metabolism. Chemerin is an adipokine secreted mainly by adipocytes and its final action is to increase the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1b, TNF-a and metalloproteinases by macrophages, dendritic cells and chondrocytes, which are responsible for damage to the articular cartilage. This is one of the reasons that obesity and inflammation have been linked to OA. The main objective of this study is to determine whether the serum chemerin concentrations of a group of patients with primary OA are higher when compared with control individuals. A further purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between the presence of obesity/overweight with the severity of the disease measured by a radiological scale. PATIENTS AND METHODS An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out where serum chemerin levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunoadsorption assay (ELISA), in patients with primary OA of the hip, knee and hand with criteria from the ACR (American College Of Rheumatology) and controls. Radiological studies of patients and controls were analysed to determine the severity of joint involvement using the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) classification system. The statistical significance of the difference in serum chemerin values between the two groups was verified and the correlation between the variables of body mass index (BMI) with radiological severity, number of joint regions and serum chemerin levels was analysed. RESULTS During the period from July 2015 to July 2016, serum samples and radiographs of compromised joints were collected from 40 patients with primary OA who met the inclusion criteria, as well as serum samples from 20 controls. The average concentration of chemerin was higher in the group of patients with OA compared to that of the control group, being 373ng / ml and 175.55ng / ml respectively (p<2.2×10-16). No significant associations were found between the different degrees of disease severity measured by the KL radiological scale, such as the number of involved joint regions and BMI. CONCLUSIONS In a group of patients with primary OA of the hand, knee or hip, the values of chemerin were higher than those found in controls, without significant association with the severity of the disease established radiologically by K/L scale, the number of involved joint regions, and the BMI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with knee osteoarthritis, a group of 30% has been identified with central pain sensitization (CPS). The aim is to analyze the persistence of CPS in patients after knee arthroplasty and its correlation with pain intensity, functionality, determining factors and to evaluate physical examination as an assessment instrument. MATERIAL AND METHODS Quasi-experimental before-after study of patients operated on total knee arthroplasty. The evolution of subjective variables (pain characteristics, painDETECT questionnaire, WOMAC and Numerical Rating Scale) and physical examination (thermal hyperalgesia, allodynia, hypoesthesia, algometry and goniometry) 3 months before and 3 and 6 months after surgery are analysed using repeated measures ANOVA test for the quantitative ones and Cochran's Q for the qualitative ones. Spearmen test was used for the correlation of the questionnaires, the PD-Q and exploration variables and for the multivariate model of the PD-Q with clinical determinants. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients completed the study. The evolution of the quantitative and qualitative variables was significant, with a correlation between questionnaires. In the linear multivariate model of PD-Q, a significant relationship was obtained from personal history of flexion limitation, chronic musculoskeletal pain and the association between depression and time. CONCLUSIONS A significant percentage of patients with knee osteoarthritis after arthroplasty persisted with probable CPS, correlating with intensity and functionality. The limitation of mobility and previous chronic comorbidity could be determinants of CPS, with anamnesis and exploration being useful tools in consultation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knee ostheochondritis dissecans is an osteochondral disease, whose treatment is still debated. The purpose this study was to analyze the patients attached with bioabsorbable nail, assisted by arthroscopy. MATERIAL AND METHOD Analysis was performed using median and interquartile range (P25-P75), with a follow-up of 9 patients (10 knees) operated for stage III osteochondral lesions. After a minimum of 12 months, the KOOS, IKDC, satisfaction questionnaires were evaluated and a MR control was perfomed. RESULTS Bone healing was observed in 80% of patients in the first year, with a delay in union in 20%. The median for age was 15 years. The average follow-up was 5.93 years. All cases were located in the internal condyle. The OCD lesions did not show comminution or necrosis. The 40% of stable lesions, according to preoperative MR, were unestable in arthroscopy and it were attached with internal nail. Two groups of osteochondral lesions were differentiated: juvenile OCD (60%) and adult OCD (40%); all of them were stage III lesions. IKDC questionnaire results were an improvement of 29.5 (22.25, 37.52). In the KOOS questionnaire, an improvement was obtained in symptoms of 18.07, in pain of 29.12, in daily living 25.53, in function (sports, recreational activities) of 35 and in quality of life of 34.42. CONCLUSIONS The bioabsorbable nail is a valid, reproducible option for unestable lesions with lesion integrity, with great improvement in function, quality of life and with few complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteochondral allografts (OA) kept fresh for a long time, are presented as a viable option for the treatment of large chondral and osteochondral lesions. GOALS Chondrocyte viability decreases substantially when allografts are stored for more than 15 days. The objective of this work is to validate the viability and clinical and functional results of OA transplantation stored at 37°C in a cell culture medium, applied in cartilage defects of the knee, defining the means and limits of allograft storage, among 15 and 28 days after extraction. PATIENTS AND METHOD This study presents the results of 20 consecutive patients, operated between 2003 and 2019, who underwent a fresh-preserved osteochondral allograft, implanted on cartilage defects of the femoral condyle and patella. The minimum follow-up time was 10 years and the maximum 17. The mean age of the patients was 29 (14-44). The clinical control data were collected using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) (knee-specific), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) protocols. Likewise, the degree of satisfaction was evaluated. Cartilage control was performed using the International Cartilage Repair Society Score (ICRS) and the Oswestry Arthroscopy Score (OAS). Radiological evaluations were performed using MRI and helical CT. RESULTS Statistically significant improvements, P<.0001, were observed for the IKDC: 30-65; the 5 components of the KOOS protocol, pain; 66-85; specific symptoms: 72-82; activities of daily living: 74-91; sports and recreational function: 37-70; related to the knee, quality of life: 25-60. Regarding the degree of satisfaction, 89% answered being satisfied or very satisfied. The ICRS and OAS results, all patients went from grade IV to grade I, except for one who is currently in IV. The incorporation of the graft in the recipient area occurred at three months, verified by helical CT and MRI. CONCLUSION Osteochondral allograft transplants stored fresh at 37°C are established as a long-term solution for the treatment of localized osteochondral defects in the knee.

Abstract
The treatment of massive osteochondral defects in young patients constitutes a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. On the one hand, facing the biological filling and on the other, guaranteeing the function in the short and long term. Defects in the lateral femoral condyle are extremely rare. We studied 7 cases of massive bone defects in the lateral condyle, 2 of them bilateral, with a median surface area of 6.8cm2 (IQR: 4.9-7.0cm2) and a median depth of 2.8cm (IQR; 2.2-3.2cm). The patients were between 17 and 21 years old, without any previous traumatic background and were treated with autologous iliac crest graft and collagen mesh (Cartmaix-Matricel). Pre and postoperative clinical (Lysholm, Tegner, KOOS) and radiological tests (3D Mocart) have been carried out. Best improvement have seen in clinical parameters have been normalized in all patients, with a return to sports activities. Likewise, the radiological defect has been recovered in all of them, subtotally but more than 50%. Massive osteochondral defects in the lateral condyle could be treated by filling with autologous crest bone and a collagen mesh, with good clinical and radiological results, constituting a rational option in the therapeutic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Congenital knee dislocation is a very rare entity, characterised by deformity in knee recurvatum present at birth, and there is currently no consensus on the optimal treatment. The aim of the present study is to analyse the functional results and long-term complications after the application of a protocol of therapeutic action for the management of congenital knee dislocation (CKD) created in a reference centre for child orthopaedics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective descriptive study of patients with congenital dislocation of the knee who followed CRPL between January 1997 and December 2010. Demographic variables, type of treatment, functional outcomes at the end of the follow-up, complications and relapses were studied. The conservative treatment consisted of serial casts, leaving the surgical treatment for cases in which passive flexion was not achieved above 30° or the conservative treatment failed. RESULTS 9 patients (11 knees) met the inclusion criteria. The 66.7% were girls and the average follow-up was 15 years (9-22). In all cases, conservative treatment was initiated. Of the 11 knees treated, less than half (36%) required surgery. The average Lysholm questionnaire was 90.3 points, the WOMAC pain 0.4 (0-1), WOMAC stiffness 1.8 (0-6) and WOMAC function 3.8 (1-12). CONCLUSIONS The existence and application of the PLCR protocol in a pathology as rare as congenital knee dislocation suggests good long-term functional results with few complications and no recurrences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There currently is a considerable variability in the content of training programs and courses for orthopaedic surgeons in training. Besides this, there is still no consensus regarding which is the most effective methodology for improving learning of the technique or for its qualitative evaluation. A study was carried out to assess the influence of carrying out a cadaveric practical course on the acquisition of arthroscopic technical skills in fifth-year residents. MATERIAL AND METHODS A knee arthroscopy cadaveric course was performed in which 48 students participated. Different technical aspects during a knee arthroscopy, as well as the residents skill and the execution time were evaluated before and after the course using a specific questionnaire. RESULTS There was a significant statistic improvement between the initial and final evaluation, increasing from 11,7 till 17,1 (maximum 20) points. Also, a significant improvement in all the parameters analysed was observed; the identification of anatomic structures (p = 0.001), the palpation of specific structures (p = 0.032), and the time necessary for the arthroscopic knee check (p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS A knee arthroscopy cadaveric course improves significantly the technical skills of surgeons in training.

Abstract
Medial discoid meniscus is a rare entity with a reported incidence of 0.12 to 0.3%, although the real incidence may be greater because not all the patients are symptomatic. Like lateral discoid menisci, medial discoid menisci are prone to degeneration that may prompt the presence of mechanical symptoms at early age. We present the case of a 14 year old male patient with bilateral knee symptoms of insidious onset without a traumatic event. Magnetic resonance revealed bilateral medial discoid menisci. Arthroscopic medial meniscus remodelling was performed in the right knee and, three months later, in the left knee, due to limitating mechanical symptoms. At the latest follow up -6 months for the right knee, 3 months for the left knee-, the patient resumed his sports activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered the most common degenerative joint pathology in the adult population, being an important cause of disability worldwide, and its prevalence is increasingly associated with different factors, including obesity. Obesity together with metabolic syndrome have been associated with a pro-inflammatory state due to the release of cytokines that induce changes in cartilage metabolism. Chemerin is an adipokine secreted mainly by adipocytes and its final action is to increase the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1b, TNF-α and metalloproteinases by macrophages, dendritic cells and chondrocytes, which are responsible for damage to the articular cartilage. This is one of the reasons that obesity and inflammation have been linked to OA. The main objective of this study is to determine whether the serum chemerin concentrations of a group of patients with primary OA are higher when compared with control individuals. A further purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between the presence of obesity/overweight with the severity of the disease measured by a radiological scale. PATIENTS AND METHODS An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out where serum chemerin levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunoadsorption assay (ELISA), in patients with primary OA of the hip, knee and hand with criteria from the American College Of Rheumatology (ACR) and controls. Radiological studies of patients and controls were analysed to determine the severity of joint involvement using the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) classification system. The statistical significance of the difference in serum chemerin values between the two groups was verified and the correlation between the variables of body mass index (BMI) with radiological severity, number of joint regions and serum chemerin levels was analysed. RESULTS During the period from July 2015 to July 2016, serum samples and radiographs of compromised joints were collected from 40 patients with primary OA who met the inclusion criteria, as well as serum samples from 20 controls. The average concentration of chemerin was higher in the group of patients with OA compared to that of the control group, being 373 ng / ml and 175.55 ng / ml respectively (p<2.2×10-16). No significant associations were found between the different degrees of disease severity measured by the KL radiological scale, such as the number of involved joint regions and BMI. CONCLUSIONS In a group of patients with primary OA of the hand, knee or hip, the values of chemerin were higher than those found in controls, without significant association with the severity of the disease established radiologically by K/L scale, the number of involved joint regions, and the BMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Articular cartilage (AC) is always affected in any joint with osteoarthritis. Ultrasound can be a useful tool in monitoring changes in the AC. The purpose of the present study is to ultrasound measure the thickness of the AC in the distal femur in young students and determine its relationship with body mass index (BMI), muscle mass, body fat and sports practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS An observational cross-sectional study was conducted with healthy volunteers, between 15 and 25 years old. Anthropometric data were collected and the thickness of the femoral cartilage of the knee was measured at 5 points. In addition, the percentage of muscle and body fat was measured in a subgroup. RESULTS 100 subjects were included in the study. The average age was 20 years (± 2.5). The average BMI was 23 kg/m2 (± 3.1). AC was thicker in men and sportsmen, versus women and sedentary people, with a statistically significant difference. When comparing BMI with AC thickness no significant relationship was found; however, only 2 participants had BMI > 30. CONCLUSIONS Cartilage thickness has a direct relationship with the percentage of muscle, and inversely with the percentage of fat. BMI is not a good parameter when evaluating the dynamic behaviour of cartilage in non-obese youths.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Compliance with preoperative expectations of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is related to the degree of satisfaction, but its effect on other outcomes has not been studied. The aim of this study is to determine whether meeting expectations influences clinical, functional and quality of life outcomes at one year after surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expectations of 183 patients were evaluated through the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Replacement Expectations Survey. The Visual Analog Scale, Knee Society Score, WOMAC and SF-36 questionnaires were administered preoperatively and at the annual review. Comparisons were made between compliance with expectations and socio-demographic variables, postoperative complications, improvement in the questionnaires and degree of satisfaction. RESULTS Patients without postoperative complications were significantly (P<.005) in the group that had fulfilled all their expectations. A statistically significant relationship (P<.001) was also observed between this group and a higher degree of satisfaction. Finally, the fulfillment of all expectations was associated with a greater improvement (P<.001) in the KSS-Function and SF-36 questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS Compliance with preoperative expectations is related to a greater improvement in functionality and quality of life at one year of the RTA and significantly affects satisfaction. These findings will allow us to adjust expectations to what is really expected from the surgery, in order to avoid poor results and dissatisfaction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of periprosthetic fractures of the knee is increasing due to the increase in the number of total knee arthroplasties performed, together with population aging. We found few studies that analyze mortality in our setting after surgery. Our objective was to evaluate mortality and survival after surgical treatment of periprosthetic fractures of the distal femur in our environment. MATERIAL AND METHOD We conducted a retrospective observational study of a consecutive series of 97 patients surgically treated in our centre for periprosthetic knee fracture between 2007-2015, with a minimum follow-up of 12months. Diverse sociodemographic, clinical and surgical variables were analyzed. A consultation was made to the National Death Index of the Ministry of Health for the analysis of mortality and survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS We reviewed a total of 97 patients with an average age of 75years, of which 86 were women and 11 were men. Of the patients, 50.5% of patients had some comorbidity. The average delay until the intervention was 3.1days. With respect to the treatment, 45 patients were operated by osteosynthesis with plate (49.5%), 40 with intramedullary nail (41.2%) and 9 with revision of the arthroplasty (9.3%). A total of 30 deaths were recorded during the follow-up, with cumulative mortality in the first year, at 3 and at 10 years of 7.2%, 17.5% and 30.9%, respectively, progressively increasing in people over 75years. There was no significant difference in mortality rates with the osteosynthesis method. The main complication was pseudoarthrosis (6.2%). CONCLUSIONS Periprosthetic knee fractures are associated with high rates of complications and mortality. The patient's age and the lesion itself are non-modifiable factors that can influence mortality after surgery, while other variables such as the type of intervention or surgical delay did not show differences in mortality rates in our study.

Abstract
Background It is known that late surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is associated with a medial meniscal (MM) tears. However, the association between factors relating to sports and work activities and joint instability, has not been examined in non-athletic subjects. Objective To compare sports and work activities and other factors associated with MM tears, in subjects with ACL rupture. Method A case-control design study, of patients with ACL injury, 140 cases and 140 controls with and without a rupture of MM respectively, were included. Sociodemographic factors, sports and work activities were compared. Results The independent factors associated with MM ruptures were continuing sports activities after injury (odds ratio [OR]: 3.6; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.7-7.9), joint instability (OR: 2.2; 95% CI: 1.8-2.6), time between injury and surgical intervention (time of evolution) (OR: 1.003; 95% CI: 1.0-1.01) and age (OR: 1.1; 95% CI: 1.03-1.1). Conclusions Intense activities of daily life such as continuing sports activities, after an ACL injury in non-athletic factory workers subjects, without previous training, as well as, age, joint instability and surgical delay are risk factors for rupture of MM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate, by means of biomechanical analysis, functional alterations of gait and balance of patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Transversal analytical study on 64 people, 27 health subjects and 37 patients with ACL injury. Biomechanical analysis of gait in all individuals was performed by means of four tests: 1) kinematic test, to characterize gait pattern; 2) kinetic test, to characterize forces against the floor, duration of treads, symmetry of both legs, and the reproducibility of the gait; 3) pivot-shift test, to analyze the rotational stability of the knee on the sagittal axis; and 4) equilibrium test. RESULTS alterations in kinematic and kinetic analysis were found in both the injured knee and the healthy knee compared to the control group. In the pivot-shift gait test there is a tendency to increase the forces on the three axes, both in the support leg and in the exit leg in patients with ACL injury, in comparison with healthy subjects. CONCLUSION ACL injury-induced changes in gait pattern, changes in forces against the floor, duration of treads, symmetry of both legs, and the reproducibility of gait and changes in rotational stability of the knee on the sagittal axis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate if there is a difference in the time that the surgery is prolonged to implant a knee prosthesis according to the instrumentation system used. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of the duration of 243 interventions (skin-to-skin time and ischemia time) performed by the same surgeon. Seventy-two cases operated with conventional instruments (IC), 68 by means of computer assisted surgery (CAS) and 103 with personalized instrumentation system (PSI). RESULTS IC skin-to-skin time 87,85 min (SD 11,86). IC ischemia time 94,44 min (SD 11,49). Computer assisted surgery skin-to-skin time 123,46 min (SD 11,27). Computer assisted surgery ischemia time 129,63 min (SD 11,37). PSI skin-to-skin time 78,69 min (SD 13,06). PSI ischemia time 84,63 min (SD 12,06). There is a significant difference between PSI and the other instrumentation systems (p 0,000). CONCLUSIONS In our study, the time consumption for the implantation of a knee prosthesis has been significantly lower when cutting blocks have been used, than when we have used other systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intra-articular ozone infiltrations have been used as a therapeutic intervention in osteoarthritis of the knee with reports of favourable effects. However, this therapeutic procedure is still controversial due to the lack of scientific evidence to justify its use. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-articular ozone infiltrations in patients with knee osteoarthritis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic search was performed in electronic databases such as Pubmed, Dialnet, Scielo, Medigraphic and other electronic sources from January 1990 to January 2018. We included controlled clinical trials that used intra-articular ozone infiltrations as a therapeutic intervention in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The variables analysed were the study design, risk of bias, clinical configuration, characteristics of the participants, characteristics of the interventions, results, length of follow-up and adverse events. RESULTS Ten studies with a total of 400 patients treated with ozone vs 381 controls were included in the systematic review. Most studies had a high risk of bias. Intra-articular ozone infiltrations were more effective than placebo and were as effective as other interventional treatments in short-term follow-up. No adverse effects or serious adverse reactions were reported in the treated patients. CONCLUSION Intra-articular ozone infiltration appears to be an effective therapeutic intervention in the short term. However studies with better methodological quality are needed to confirm its efficacy and to analyze long-term safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To non-invasively assess tissue lesion secondary to ischaemia applied during knee replacement surgery. Secondary objectives: to assess whether this lesion correlates with the duration of ischaemia and whether instrumental and gender variables influence it. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective cohort study. Pre and postoperative serum lactate levels have been determined as an indicator of glycolytic activity secondary to ischaemia in 88 patients. Serum lactate determination was performed by reactive strips of enzymatic-amperometric detection on capillary blood. RESULTS Preoperative serum lactate levels (mean and SD): 2.467±1.036 mmol/L. Postoperative serum lactate levels: 3.938±2.018 mmol/L. Ischaemia time 102.98±18.25minutes. Postoperative serum lactate levels were significantly higher than preoperative lactate levels. There are no statistical differences according to the time that the ischaemia was prolonged, gender or type of instrumentation used. CONCLUSIONS In our study, postoperative serum lactate values were significantly higher than preoperative lactate values, with no correlation to the duration of ischaemia during knee replacement surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compares the efficacy in post-operative pain control of the intraarticular catheter compared to the epidural catheter after primary total knee arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHOD Randomised clinical trial consisting of two groups of patients. A control group with intradural anaesthesia and an intraoperative epidural catheter (ropivacaine) and an intervention group using the same anaesthetic technique and an intraarticular catheter with an elastomeric pump (ropivacaine+dexketoprofen). Data such as demographic, anaesthetic and surgical variables, pain intensity according to Verbal Rating Scale, opioid use and complications, joint balance, onset of walking and hospital stay were recorded. RESULTS A lower incidence and severity on Verbal Rating Scale and a better control of postoperative pain (p<.0014) were observed in the intervention group. Joint balance also presented significant results in flexion and 74% of these patients started walking before the first 36h and the control group had not yet done so. Regarding patient satisfaction, 54.1% of the patients were "very satisfied" with the use of the catheter (p>.001). Finally, the hospital stay decreased significantly, with 33.3% of intervention group patients discharged within the first 48h compared to none of the control group. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The use of the intraarticular catheter as postoperative analgesia is a useful and safe alternative. It reduces the possibility of side effects. It helps in early improvement of joint balance, onset of walking and control of pain. All of which increase patient satisfaction and result in a shorter period of hospitalisation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to show evidence of the Empowerment Session's effectiveness through measurements of surgery related emotional stress before and after this session. METHOD The study was performed on 41 patients with knee arthroplasty surgery prescription by measuring the evolution of their emotional stress generated by surgery expectative, during the empowerment session. Two sets of measurements per patient were performed, before and after the empowerment session. Each set consisted of recording an electrocardiogram for 10min while the patients were seated and then applying two standard psychometric tests: State-Trait Anxiety Inventory test and Visual Analog Stress test. Differences in emotional stress were analyzed using psychometric tests and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis as stress biomarkers. RESULTS Psychometric stress measurement shows a 17.8% reduction in stress according to the total stress scale value, and a 41.9% reduction in stress between test results before and after the session. Mean heart rate values increased by 7.4% with respect to the initial values, very low frequency power and total power also change in value suggesting more sympathetic and less parasympathetic activity. CONCLUSIONS Both psychological and physiological measurements suggest the effectiveness of the empowerment session due to a significant increase in the wellness state of patients. Additionally, the correlation between psychometric tests and HRV indices demonstrates that both emotional stress indicators could be used as feedback on the empowerment sessions or as a reference to enhance surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The Catalonian Arthroplasty Register (RACat) is a public health-based population register used to analyse and evaluate hip and knee replacements in Catalonia. The aim of this study is to present the outcomes after 10 years in operation (January 2005-December 2014). METHODOLOGY Using the information from the RACat and the minimum basic data set at hospital discharge, an analysis was made of the quality and exhaustivity of the data, as well as a descriptive analysis of the patients, prostheses, and care process. Survival was also analysed by calculating the accumulated incidence of revisions (according to the cause of intervention in hip replacements and conservation or sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament in knee replacement). The relationship between revision risk and the fixation technique of the prosthesis is also analysed, using competitive risk models adjusted for gender, age, and comorbidities. RESULTS The main reason for the primary hip and knee replacement surgery was arthrosis. The accumulated incidence of revisions at 10 years was 3.9% in hip replacements caused by arthrosis, and 2.3% in those caused by fracture. Conservation of the posterior cruciate ligament was achieved in 4.4% of knee replacements, with sacrifice in 5.1%. DISCUSSION The RACat is consolidated as a tool for the evaluation of joint replacements, with great potential in the analysis of medium and long-term efficacy, the study of the variability in clinical practice, and post-marketing surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term (24hours) association between postoperative pain and preoperative psychological variables (anxiety, pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia) in a sample of knee arthroscopy ambulatory surgery. METHODS Observational cross-sectional study, conducted with 40 adult subjects who underwent knee arthroscopy in the surgical area of Cantoblanco Hospital (Hospital Universitario La Paz) in Madrid. The fear-avoidance beliefs and anxiety were assessed using validated questionnaires of pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia and anxiety. Pre and post-surgical pain and perceived disability were evaluated by the Verbal Numeric Scale. RESULTS Mean age of the sample (22 men and 18 women) was 52.85±14.21 without significant differences between gender. No statistically significant data for the association between variables of kinesiofobia, anxiety and pain catastrophizing and the intensity of perceived pain by the postoperative knee arthroscopy patient were found. Length of surgery in our study has a correlation with the immediate post-surgical pain (r=0.468; P=.002) and there is a relationship between age and pain intensity at 24hours (r=-0.329; P=.038), and between age and perceived disability (r=-0.314; P=.049). An association between catastrophizing and kinesiophobia scales (r=0.337; P=.033) is obtained likewise. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, preoperative fear-avoidance beliefs like pain anxiety or pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were not associated with acute postoperative pain in our study. Analyses of secondary pain related outcomes, however, indicated that reduced time of surgery may contribute to enhance clinical postoperative pain. If confirmed and replicated in larger samples, this may potentially enable clinicians to improve postoperative pain management in future patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure with varying results depending on the cause. Our objective was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing aseptic revision versus revision due to prosthetic infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 41 patients who underwent TKA revision with the same varus-valgus constrained implant. In all cases a clinical evaluation was performed including pain, range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS), complications, as well as radiological study. A comparative analysis was performed on the pre- and postoperative results between septic and aseptic groups. The mean follow-up was 6 years. RESULTS ROM had a mean increase of 17 degrees (p<.01). KSS and functional KSS improved significantly postoperatively. In the radiological study, joint interline and limb alignment were restored in all cases. Radiolucencies were found in 36.5% of cases; however they were unrelated to the appearance of loosening of the implant. There were complications in 29.2% of cases, mostly related to the surgical wound. Mobility, KSS, KSS functional and satisfaction at follow-up were better in the septic group. Implant survival was 95% at follow-up. CONCLUSION Revision arthroplasty with constrained varus-valgus implant is safe, and has successful mid-term results despite the cause of the replacement procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We performed an epidemiological study of the traumatic injuries during the XVI South American U-17 Football Championship, 2015. MATERIAL AND METHODS Observational surveys submitted by the 10 teams medical services of 220 players. Thirty-five games were held and 116 goals (3.31 per game) were recorded. RESULTS 103 lesions, ie, 2.94 per game or 32.7 injuries per 1,000 min were recorded. Fifty-six were from direct contact and 66 requiring treatment. 36% of the injuries were punished by fault and 26% of the injuries also saw card. Injuries were most common in the ankle (15 cases), Achilles tendon (14 cases) and thigh (14 cases), followed by trauma to the knee and foot (7 cases each), face and the lumbar region (6 cases each), being rare in the upper extremity. CONCLUSION Injuries during Soccer World Cup are difficult to predict and prevent, but serious injuries are rare. Is necessary to establish protocols that get adequate health care at all levels to solve problems produce, both in training and during the competition, and be prepared to solve the serious problems that may arise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a high transfusion rate. In our protocol, the use of postoperative cell salvage is indicated in patients with contraindications to tranexamic acid (TA). An analysis was performed on the effect of post-operative cell salvage (POCS) regarding transfusion rate and costs in patients undergoing TKA. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective analysis was conducted on 518 patients, of whom 434 received TA, and 84 were contraindicated. The red cell mass, blood volume, and the percentage of lost blood volume were calculated. Incidents associated with the use of post-operative re-perfusion of drained blood and the rate of transfusion were recorded. An analysis was performed on the costs associated with allogeneic transfusion prevention methods. RESULTS A POCS drain was not inserted in 10 out of the 84 patients not candidates for TA. In the 74 in which it was placed, 158±72ml of red cell mass was reinfused. The allogeneic transfusion rate was 36%, and was 52% in those with no drain inserted. Relative risk of transfusion using POCS was 0.69 (0.41 to 1.16) with an absolute risk reduction of 16% (-8 to 40%). The number needed to treat to avoid allogeneic transfusion was 7. The direct costs to avoid allogeneic transfusion were €1,610. No complications associated with blood re-infusion were observed. CONCLUSIONS The use of POCS would be required in 7 patients after TKA to avoid one allogeneic transfusion with a cost over 10 times that of a transfusion of red cell concentrates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of the timing of the removal of the ischaemia tourniquet on the transfusion needs in primary knee arthroplasty and its influence on post-operative complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective analysis was performed on 201 primary knee arthroplasties. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (101 patients), where the tourniquet was removed before surgical closure, and group B (100 patients), where the tourniquet was removed after the surgical closure. A comparison was made of the blood transfusions (pools of red corpuscles) received by both groups, along with the surgical time, and the post-operative complications. RESULTS The mean number of packed red cells transfused in group A was 0.62, while in the group B it was 0.61 (P=.831). The mean time in the surgery in group A was 111 min, and in group B it was 98 min (P<.05), with no significant difference between the surgical time and the number of packed cells transfused (P=.055). The post-operative complications in the group A were 8, and in the B were 10 (P=.79). DISCUSSION There were no differences between removing the tourniquet before or after surgical closure or in the transfusion needs or in the post-operative complications. Traditionally, the greater blood loss due to the removal of the tourniquet before surgical closure has been explained as due to the longer surgery time required. However, in the present study, this fact was not associated with greater transfusion needs, or with more post-operative complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVS) is a synovial proliferation disorder of uncertain aetiology, with some controversy as regards its proper treatment. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome and recurrence rate in a series of patients diagnosed with both the diffuse and the localised type of PVS and treated by arthroscopic resection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four patients diagnosed with PVS were retrospectively assessed. There were 11 cases with the diffuse type, and 13 cases with the localised type of PVS. They were followed-up for a median of 60 months (range, 34-204). They underwent arthroscopic synovectomy, and were functionally evaluated with IKDC, WOMET, and Kujala scores. RESULTS There was recurrence in 8 out of 13 (61.5%) cases with the diffuse type of PVS. Two of these patients were treated with radiation. One patient underwent surgical resection with an open procedure due to extra-articular involvement. The remaining 5 patients underwent a second arthroscopic resection, and no recurrence was subsequently observed. Cases with localised PVS did not recur after a single arthroscopic resection. IKDC, WOMET and Kujala scores improved by 30.6, 37.4 and 34.03 points, respectively. DISCUSSION Pigmented villonodular synovitis treated by arthroscopic resection showed good functional results at mid-term follow-up. A single arthroscopic resection was sufficient to treat the localised PVS, whereas the diffuse type of PVS required a second arthroscopic resection in most cases, due to its high rate of recurrence.

Abstract
The biological changes that commonly cause degenerative articular cartilage injuries in the knee are primarily associated to misalignment of the joint and metabolic changes related to age, as occurs in osteoarthritis. Furthermore, the capacity for cartilage self-regeneration is quite limited due to the lack of vascularity of the tissue. To date there is no ideal treatment capable to stimulate cartilage regeneration; thus there is a need to seek alternative therapies for the treatment of such conditions. The number of publications demonstrating the therapeutic and regenerative benefits of using platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis has been increasing in recent years. In spite of encouraging results, there are still only a few randomised control studies with strong clinical evidence, lacking clarity on points such as the optimum formulation or the mechanism of action of platelet-rich plasma. Up to this point and based on the results of clinical studies, not all patients can benefit from this therapy. It is important to consider aspects such as the age and grade of cartilage degeneration. The aim of the present paper is to review the recent scientific literature on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with platelet-rich plasma, and the biological bases of this therapy, as well as presenting the current opinion on this subject.

Abstract
The symptoms of osteoarthritis vary widely from patient to patient, depending especially on the localization on the disease. There is a poor correlation between radiological involvement and pain. In general, symptom onset is gradual and symptoms increase slowly but progressively. The most commonly affected joints are the knees, hips, hands, and spine. The main signs and symptoms are pain, stiffness, joint deformity, and crepitus. Pain is mechanical and its causes are multifactorial; in the initial phases, pain usually manifests in self-limiting episodes but may subsequently be almost constant. The criteria of the American college of Rheumatology for the classification of osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and hands are an aid to classification and standardization but are not useful for diagnosis. Hip osteoarthritis usually produces inguinal pain in the internal and anterior sections of the muscle extending to the knee and, with progression, tends to limit mobility. Knee osteoarthritis is more frequent in women and is usually associated with hand osteoarthritis and obesity. In hand osteoarthritis, the most commonly affected joints are the distal interphalangeal joints, followed by the proximal interphalangeal joints and the trapeziometacarpal joints; the development of Heberden and Bouchard nodes is common; involvement of the trapeziometacarpal joint is called rhizarthrosis and is one of the forms of osteoarthritis that produces the greatest limitation on hand function. Osteoarthritis of the spine affects the facet joints and the vertebral bodies. Other, less frequent, localizations are the foot, elbow and shoulder, which are generally secondary forms of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify those clinical characteristic and arthroscopic findings in patients with knee arthrosis that are associated with worsening of the disease and subsequent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHOD A retrospective, descriptive study was conducted on 78 consecutive patients (88 knees) who underwent knee arthroscopy for arthrosis. The study included 44 women and 34 men, with a mean age of 58.9 years (range: 37-78 years). After a mean follow-up of 50.4 months (range: 12-96 months), those patients who progressed towards TKA were identified. A logistic regression model was applied to recognise the factors associated with deterioration of the arthrosis, with consequent progression towards a TKA. RESULTS Twenty-four out of the 88 knees progressed towards a TKA (27.3%) within a mean time of 13.5 months after arthroscopy (range: 13-29 months). The clinical characteristics that showed a significant association with poor progression of the arthrosis were: female gender (0.02) and Ahlbäck 2 (P=.04). Arthroscopic finding that proved significant correlation with worsening of the arthrosis towards TKA were: meniscal tears of the posterior horn (P=.02), meniscectomies above 60% (P=.03), and 2nd degree chondral lesions in loading areas of the medial femoral condyle (P=.02). CONCLUSION The variables associated with a greater chance of progressing towards a TKA after a knee arthroscopy due to arthrosis in this study were, female gender, grade 2 radiographic arthrosis, posterior horn meniscal lesions, meniscectomies over 60%, and chondral lesions in loading area of the medial femoral condyle.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the health related quality of life (HRQOL) and associated factors of patients before, and one year after, total knee (TKA) and hip (THA) arthroplasty. METHODS A quasi-experimental prospective study conducted in hospitals with different levels of complexity and volume in Catalonia, and on patients with an indication of a TKA or THA. Demographic and psychosocial variables were recorded, and the SF-36 and WOMAC, and a question on perception of change after surgery were administered to patients by telephone interview. The standardised differences (effect size) of perceived change using the SF-36 and WOMAC scores before and after surgery were calculated. The factors associated with HRQOL one year after surgery were analysed using adjusted general linear models. RESULTS Although there was an overall improvement in most HRQOL domains of patients (n=672), 9% saw little improvement after surgery, with their scores at baseline and follow-up being very similar (small size effect: 0.0-0.4). Women, patients with low social support, with lower scores (worse) in perceived mental health and baseline HRQOL, and who declared that their condition was more severe, perceived a poorer HRQOL one year after surgery (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Factors associated to a worse prognosis one year after an arthroplasty have been identified and are consistent with other published studies. The assessment of HRQOL can be a key instrument for identifying possible patients without improvement, in order to assess alternatives to an intervention, or apply other interventions in order to improve the efficiency of the healthcare process.
