Jerry Yongqiang Chen,Merrill Lee,Kiran Rikhraj,Simran Parmar,Hwei Chi Chong,Andy Khye Soon Yew,Kevin Koo,Inderjeet Singh Rikhraj +7 more
TL;DR: The authors conclude that while it is important to warn obese patients of the significantly higher risk of repeat surgery, these patients should not be excluded from undergoing HV surgery.

Predicting Satisfaction for Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Patients in an Asian Population.
TL;DR: Despite the impressive patient satisfaction rate of UKA in this Asian population, these findings suggest that there is a targeted group of patients with select preoperative factors who would benefit from preoperative counseling.

Poorer Fusion Outcomes in Diabetic Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Patients Undergoing Single-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Does Not Compromise Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life.
Ming Han Lincoln Liow,Merrill Lee,Graham S. Goh,Li Tat John Chen,Wai-Mun Yue,Chang Ming Guo,Seang Beng Tan +6 more
TL;DR: Despite poorer fusion outcomes following single-level ACDF for symptomatic CSM, there was no significant difference in validated spine outcome scores, PROMs, HRQoL measures, or satisfaction levels when compared to nondiabetic controls at short-term follow-up.

No Differences in Outcomes Scores or Survivorship of Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Between Patients Younger or Older than 55 Years of Age at Minimum 10-Year Followup
TL;DR: Few differences are found between patients 55 years and younger and those older than that in terms of functional outcomes, quality of life, and implant survivorship after UKA, and appropriately selected younger patients should not be excluded from the potential benefits of undergoing UKA.

Coronal Alignment of Fixed-Bearing Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Femoral Component May Affect Long-Term Clinical Outcomes.
Yong Zhi Khow,Ming Han Lincoln Liow,Merrill Lee,Jerry Yongqiang Chen,Ngai Nung Lo,Seng Jin Yeo +5 more
TL;DR: Given similar limb alignment, coronal and sagittal component positioning, a larger FCCA was associated with poorer outcomes at 10-year follow-up and a larger OG had poorer OKS at 10 years and larger deterioration from 2 to 10 years compared to AG.
