TL;DR: Current literature supports limb salvage procedures when wide surgical margins can be achieved while still retaining a functional limb, and the local recurrence rate and risk of complications were higher for limb salvage as compared to amputation.

TL;DR: No single strategy was shown to be superior over another in reducing the need for allogeneic transfusions; however, a combination of these blood management strategies may result in improved blood loss outcomes.

TL;DR: Although multiple reports have demonstrated that PSI can reduce the amount of trays and instrumentation required, operative time, and turnover rates, this has not been extrapolated to an overall cost reduction, and it remains to be seen whether this will lead to a reduction in costs and improvements in clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes.

TL;DR: Recent short-term trials have demonstrated that modern cementless TKA has comparable survivorship and functional outcomes as cemented prostheses, however, more prospective, randomized trials are needed to clearly delineate any differences between these two fixation options.
