Discoid meniscus is the most frequent congenital malformation of the menisci, and primarily affects the lateral meniscus; it is highly prevalent in the Asian population.
-
The anatomic, vascular, and ultrastructural features of the discoid meniscus make it susceptible to complex tears.
-
Discoid meniscus anomalies are described according to their shape; however, there is consensus that peripheral stability of the meniscus should also be defined.
-
Initial workup includes plain X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging, while arthroscopic evaluation confirms shape and stability of the meniscus.
-
Clinical presentation is highly variable, depending on shape, associated hypermobility, and concomitant meniscal tears.
-
Treatment seeks to re-establish typical anatomy using saucerization, tear reparation, and stable fixation of the meniscus.

The present narrative review provides a summary of postoperative therapy modalities and their effectiveness following osteotomies around the knee.
-
The topics that are discussed in the scientific discourse include support of cartilage cell regeneration, pain management, drainage insertion, tourniquet use, pharmacological and mechanical thromboembolism prophylaxis, weight-bearing protocols and bone consolidation.
-
There is evidence for the use of pharmacological thromboembolism prophylaxis and weight-bearing protocols.
-
A standardized postoperative treatment concept following osteotomies around the knee cannot be derived due to lack of evidence for the other topics in current literature.

The treatment of musculoskeletal infections (MSIs), including periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and fracture-related infection (FRI), is often complicated by biofilm-related challenges necessitating multiple revision surgeries and incurring substantial costs.
-
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) adds to the complexity of the problem, leading to increased morbidity and healthcare expenses.
-
There is an urgent need for novel antibacterial strategies, with the World Health Organization endorsing non-traditional approaches like bacteriophage (phage) therapy.
-
Phage therapy, involving the targeted application of lytic potent phages, shows promise in the treatment of MSIs.
-
Although historical clinical trials and recent case studies present significant milestones in the evolution of phage therapy over the past century, challenges persist, including variability in study designs, administration protocols and phage selection. Efforts to enhance treatment efficacy consist of personalized phage therapy and combination with antibiotics.
-
Future perspectives entail addressing regulatory barriers, standardizing treatment protocols, and conducting high-quality clinical trials to establish phage therapy’s efficacy for the treatment of MSIs.
-
Initiatives like the PHAGEFORCE study and the PHAGEinLYON Clinic programme aim to streamline phage therapy, facilitating personalized treatment approaches and systematic data collection to advance its clinical utility in these challenging infections.
