TL;DR: In hip and knee patients, preoperative depressive symptoms predicted smaller changes in different HOOS or KOOS subscales and patients were less satisfied 12 months postoperatively than patients without anxiety or depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The quality of evidence for most outcomes comparing different osteotomy techniques was downgraded to low because of the number of available studies, the numbers of participants and limitations in design, and the risk of bias.

TL;DR: This is the second update of the original review published in Issue 1, 2005, and first updated in 2007 and aims to assess the benefits and harms of braces and foot/ankle orthoses in the treatment of patients with OA of the knee.

TL;DR: Investigation of the clinical and radiographic mid-term results of closing-wedge and opening-Wedge high tibial osteotomy when used to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis found opening-w edge osteotomy was associated with more complications, but closing- wedge osteotomies wasassociated with more early conversions to total knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: OW- HTO resulted in better survival than CW-HTO, however, in both groups an equal number of patients were in need for prosthesis, and both groups were “in need of prosthesis” according to OARSI criteria.
