A few countries permit women to serve in combat roles, but their long term performance in these positions has not been reported. The incidences of overuse injuries and attrition of 85 male and 235 female recruits in a light infantry brigade was followed in a three-year prospective study. Females were shorter (162 cm, CI 161–163 cm) than males (174 cm, CI 173–176), had more body fat (18.9 kg, CI 18.2–19.6 kg) than males (12.6 kg, 11.3–13.8 kg), had lowerV˙O2max (36.8 mL·min−1·kg−1, CI 35.8–37.78 mL·min−1·kg−1) than males (50.48 mL·min−1·kg−1, CI 48.4 to 52.48 mL·min−1·kg−1), had more stress fractures (21.0%, 95% CI 16.2–26.5%) than males (2.3%, CI 0.3–8.2%), and had more anterior knee pain (41.2%, CI 34.9–47.7%) than males (24.7%, CI 16.0–35.2%). Three-year attrition was 28% CI 22–34% for females and 37% CI 26–48% for males. The females in this study successfully served as light infantry soldiers. Their lower fitness and high incidence of overuse injuries might impede service as regular infantry soldiers.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> A prospective study to review the functional outcome between patellofemoral resurfacing versus non resurfacing in posterior stabilized TKR.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> We studied a total of 63 patients with tricompartmental osteoarthritis of knee. These patients underwent total knee arthroplasty between April 2013 to September 2013 at Preethi hospital, Madurai. It was prospective study which was followed up for period of 1 year. There were two groups which were made randomly into patellofemoral resurfacing group (group A n=30) and the non resurfacing group (group B n=33). In the patellofemoral resurfacing group, patella was resurfaced with the help of cemented poly component and in the non-resurfacing group, the osteophytes of the patella was removed, it was reshaped to match the trochlea of the femoral prosthesis and circumpatellar denervation was done.

Abstract Objectives: In this study, we retrospectively compare the clinical results, range of knee motion and anterior knee pain in patients on whom we performed knee arthroplasty with and without patellar resurfacing. Thirty-eight patients were evaluated in the study. Knee Society scores, knee range of motion and anterior knee pain before and 12 months after surgery were detected. Patients were divided into two groups: resurfaced patellas and nonresurfaced patellas. There were 18 patients in the resurfaced group and 20 patients in the nonresurfaced group. Mean Knee Society score was 40.72±13.09 in the resur-faced group and 38.55±5.88 in the nonresurfaced group before surgery. Mean Knee Society score was 80.38±7.78 in the resur-faced group and 80.10±3.22 in the nonresurfaced group in the last control. Mean knee range of motion was 92.83±12.12 degrees in the resurfaced group and 91.05±10.10 degrees in the nonresurfaced group before surgery. Mean range of motion was 106.22±9.13 degrees in the resurfaced group and 97.25±8.50 degrees in the nonresurfaced group after surgery. There were twelve patients with anterior pain before surgery in the resur-faced group and 13 patients with anterior knee pain before surgery in the nonresurfaced group. After surgery, there was one patient with anterior pain in the resurfaced group and 9 patients with anterior knee pain in the nonresurfaced group. Anterior knee pain ratio was smaller in the resurfaced group than in the nonresurfaced group, and there was a significant difference in range of knee motion as a result of our study. We offered to resurface the patella.

Abstract Anterior knee pain is one of the main symptoms in osteoarthritis, resulting from the rich sensory innervation of its capsule. Pain control can be difficult to achieve, with non-responders to conservative and medical therapy often requiring a total knee replacement. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a novel technique that could be beneficial in managing anterior knee pain by targeting the genicular nerves around the knee; however, its routine use is not included in current guidelines. A literature search identified fifty-two results, which underwent screening using a study protocol and the final literature sources, of varying levels of evidence, underwent critical appraisal and analysis. The primary outcome included the significant improvement of pain scores from baseline, against their respective control treatments. The ten studies included in the final analysis consisted of seven comparative studies and three non-comparative studies. Literature showed significant improvement in their mean pain scores, all meeting the primary outcome measure. Most studies also showed significant improvement from the control treatments used. Current literature shows evidence that genicular nerve RFA is an effective and safe treatment modality in the management of anterior knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis. However, the literature available is limited and further comparative studies are required.
