5-Minute Summary: No-Code AI for Surgeons: Bridging Clinical Insight and Digital Tool Development—A Conceptual Perspective

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing orthopedic practice by improving diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and research efficiency. Despite these advances, the adoption of AI-based tools in routine orthopedic workflows remains limited due to the technical expertise and financial resources traditionally required for software development.

5-Minute Summary: Cost Analysis of Orthopaedic Tumor Treatment: A Comprehensive Review

The economic burden of cancer is substantial, particularly within orthopaedic oncology, where metastatic bone (MBD) imposes significant cost-efficiency challenges on healthcare systems. As a major component of bone disease in cancer, MBD contributes greatly to overall costs and impacts value-based care efforts. MBD is prevalent in 60-84% of patients with metastatic cancer, leading to increased medical expenses and hospitalization costs due to skeletal-related events (SREs). Direct costs associated with orthopedic tumor surgeries are considerable, encompassing inpatient and outpatient care, medication, and long-term follow-up.

5-Minute Summary: Adductor Canal Blocks May Result in Long-Term Neuropathy After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of block-related complications after adductor canal blocks (ACB) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), identify associated risk factors, and investigate if there were any differences in clinical outcomes.

5-Minute Summary: Review of Pyrocarbon Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty: Advances in Shoulder Arthroplasty

Pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty heads are an alternate bearing surface compared to metal with favorable wear properties. Pyrocarbon has a high wear resistance, low friction and favorable modulus when compared to cortical bone.

5-Minute Summary: From Incision to Recovery: Advances and Challenges in Wound Closure After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures globally, with wound closure playing a critical role in postoperative recovery and complication prevention. Despite advances, the optimal closure technique remains debated. This narrative review evaluates current wound closure techniques in TKA highlighting their biomechanical and clinical
