    Abstract Dissection of arthritic cadaveric digits revealed an expanded extensor tendon footprint involving the dorsal osteophyte on the terminal phalanx. Osteophyte attachments can be safely released up to the width of a number 15 scalpel blade without risking the integrity of the extensor tendon.

    Abstract Purpose: Translation during knee flexion is a key function of the menisci. The amount of translation displayed by the medial and lateral meniscus during knee flexion, particularly while loadbearing, remains relatively unknown. To address this lack of knowledge, a systematic review of the relevant literature was performed.
    Methods: We performed a literature search for studies in which a primary aim was to report the anterior-posterior translation of the menisci during knee flexion. Data were collected on the characteristics of the sample, the imaging approach, measurement and analysis techniques, and outcome variables. We scored the quality of studies and their reporting using a modified Coleman methodology score with ten criteria, with a maximum possible score of 100.
    Results: Twelve full-text studies were retrieved that met the inclusion criteria. Of these, the in vitro studies (N = 4) scored the lowest for methodology (median 44.5), with in vivo studies of healthy knees (N = 4) (median 60) and in vivo comparative studies (N = 4) scoring highest (median 74.5). The evidence from studies with the highest methodology scores (>65) (N = 4) indicate that the lateral meniscus translates more posteriorly than the medial meniscus during flexion. In addition, meniscal translation is influenced by loading, particularly in knee rotation, but not by ACL deficiency, despite greater posterior translation of the medial femoral condyle during flexion.
    Conclusions: The generally low methodological quality of studies suggests that caution is required when interpreting meniscal translation during knee flexion reported in the literature. While the methods for assessing meniscal translation in vivo continue to improve and provide opportunity for clinical implementation, there remains a lack of robust evidence regarding meniscal translation in the healthy knee for comparative purposes. A number of recommendations are made for future studies to address key limitations identified in previous investigations. Additional studies of high methodological quality are required to quantify the relationships between joint loading, joint pathology and meniscal translation during knee flexion.
    Level of evidence: III.

    Abstract Background: Medical schools differ, particularly in their teaching, but it is unclear whether such differences matter, although influential claims are often made. The Medical School Differences (MedDifs) study brings together a wide range of measures of UK medical schools, including postgraduate performance, fitness to practise issues, specialty choice, preparedness, satisfaction, teaching styles, entry criteria and institutional factors.
    Method: Aggregated data were collected for 50 measures across 29 UK medical schools. Data include institutional history (e.g. rate of production of hospital and GP specialists in the past), curricular influences (e.g. PBL schools, spend per student, staff-student ratio), selection measures (e.g. entry grades), teaching and assessment (e.g. traditional vs PBL, specialty teaching, self-regulated learning), student satisfaction, Foundation selection scores, Foundation satisfaction, postgraduate examination performance and fitness to practise (postgraduate progression, GMC sanctions). Six specialties (General Practice, Psychiatry, Anaesthetics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Internal Medicine, Surgery) were examined in more detail.
    Results: Medical school differences are stable across time (median alpha = 0.835). The 50 measures were highly correlated, 395 (32.2%) of 1225 correlations being significant with p < 0.05, and 201 (16.4%) reached a Tukey-adjusted criterion of p < 0.0025. Problem-based learning (PBL) schools differ on many measures, including lower performance on postgraduate assessments. While these are in part explained by lower entry grades, a surprising finding is that schools such as PBL schools which reported greater student satisfaction with feedback also showed lower performance at postgraduate examinations. More medical school teaching of psychiatry, surgery and anaesthetics did not result in more specialist trainees. Schools that taught more general practice did have more graduates entering GP training, but those graduates performed less well in MRCGP examinations, the negative correlation resulting from numbers of GP trainees and exam outcomes being affected both by non-traditional teaching and by greater historical production of GPs. Postgraduate exam outcomes were also higher in schools with more self-regulated learning, but lower in larger medical schools. A path model for 29 measures found a complex causal nexus, most measures causing or being caused by other measures. Postgraduate exam performance was influenced by earlier attainment, at entry to Foundation and entry to medical school (the so-called academic backbone), and by self-regulated learning. Foundation measures of satisfaction, including preparedness, had no subsequent influence on outcomes. Fitness to practise issues were more frequent in schools producing more male graduates and more GPs.
    Conclusions: Medical schools differ in large numbers of ways that are causally interconnected. Differences between schools in postgraduate examination performance, training problems and GMC sanctions have important implications for the quality of patient care and patient safety.

    Abstract Background: What subjects UK medical schools teach, what ways they teach subjects, and how much they teach those subjects is unclear. Whether teaching differences matter is a separate, important question. This study provides a detailed picture of timetabled undergraduate teaching activity at 25 UK medical schools, particularly in relation to problem-based learning (PBL).
    Method: The Analysis of Teaching of Medical Schools (AToMS) survey used detailed timetables provided by 25 schools with standard 5-year courses. Timetabled teaching events were coded in terms of course year, duration, teaching format, and teaching content. Ten schools used PBL. Teaching times from timetables were validated against two other studies that had assessed GP teaching and lecture, seminar, and tutorial times.
    Results: A total of 47,258 timetabled teaching events in the academic year 2014/2015 were analysed, including SSCs (student-selected components) and elective studies. A typical UK medical student receives 3960 timetabled hours of teaching during their 5-year course. There was a clear difference between the initial 2 years which mostly contained basic medical science content and the later 3 years which mostly consisted of clinical teaching, although some clinical teaching occurs in the first 2 years. Medical schools differed in duration, format, and content of teaching. Two main factors underlay most of the variation between schools, Traditional vs PBL teaching and Structured vs Unstructured teaching. A curriculum map comparing medical schools was constructed using those factors. PBL schools differed on a number of measures, having more PBL teaching time, fewer lectures, more GP teaching, less surgery, less formal teaching of basic science, and more sessions with unspecified content.
    Discussion: UK medical schools differ in both format and content of teaching. PBL and non-PBL schools clearly differ, albeit with substantial variation within groups, and overlap in the middle. The important question of whether differences in teaching matter in terms of outcomes is analysed in a companion study (MedDifs) which examines how teaching differences relate to university infrastructure, entry requirements, student perceptions, and outcomes in Foundation Programme and postgraduate training.
