- Global Projection of Revision Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Through 2060: A 17-Country Analysis Using Worldwide Registry Data. [Journal Article]J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2026 Sep 30. [Online ahead of print]JB
- CONCLUSIONS: Across 17 countries that perform most of the world's hip and knee arthroplasties, annual revision volumes are projected to grow by approximately one-third (36% in aggregate; 31% for rTHA and 41% for rTKA) by 2060 under the primary model. The United States and China account for the largest absolute growth; mature European systems flatten, and Japan declines. These projections have direct implications for revision-fellowship pipelines, perioperative infection-prevention programs, and registry infrastructure.

- Validation of the Bone-RADS (Bone Reporting and Data System) Score for Predicting Risk of Malignancy. [Journal Article]J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2026 Sep 30. [Online ahead of print]JB
- CONCLUSIONS: The Bone-RADS scoring system demonstrated moderate diagnostic performance for malignancy risk stratification of lytic bone lesions, with high sensitivity and reproducible binary classification of possibly benign versus malignant. Although inter-rater agreement for the 4-tier score was only moderate, clinically relevant benign-versus-malignant categorization demonstrated higher inter- and intra-rater agreement. These findings support Bone-RADS as a practical triage framework based on musculoskeletal imaging of lytic bone lesions.

- CONCLUSIONS: Extra-articular scapular malunions and nonunions can be associated with considerable pain and disability. Deformity correction improved range of motion and strength and reduced disability in this cohort. A principled reconstruction can be successful in addressing the sequelae of displaced scapular fractures.
