Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology of overuse tendon injury
TL;DR: The etiology as well as the pathophysilogical mechanisms leading to tendinopathy are of crucial medical importance and cannot be explained entirely at the moment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality Caused by Surgery for Degenerative Lumbar Spine
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the safety of lumbar spine surgery for degenerative disorders and assessed the predictive factors for mortality and causes of death in elective spinal surgery.

TL;DR: Widespread adoption of blinded data interpretation would be greatly facilitated were it added to the minimum set of recommendations outlining proper conduct of randomized controlled trials (eg, the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hip prosthesis introduction and early revision risk. A nationwide population-based study covering 39,125 operations.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of the learning curve for different types of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and compared these results with the results of more than 100 implantations had been undertaken.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning curve for new technology?: a nationwide register-based study of 46,363 total knee arthroplasties.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the learning curves associated with ten knee implant models to determine their effect on early revision risk and found large differences among knee implants at the introduction with regard to the risk of early revision.
