We have an academic medical center (AMC), an associated community-based hospital (CBH) and several ambulatory care centers which are being prepared to provide same day discharge (SDD) total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The near-capacity AMC cared for medically and technically complicated TJA patients. The CBH wanted to increase volume, improve margins, and become a center of excellence with an efficient hospital outpatient department and SDD TJA experience.

Although the number of total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) increases, individuals of color continue to be less likely to undergo these procedures. Socioeconomic status may be a key influencer of THA and TKA utilization and outcomes. We explore the influence of net worth and race on THA and TKA utilization and outcomes of length of stay and readmissions using a large patient database.

Self-reported penicillin allergies in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty often results in the use of second-line prophylactic antibiotics. A higher risk of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is associated with suboptimal antibiotics vs first generation cephalosporins, which have historically been grouped with other beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin for potential allergic reactions. This study evaluates the economic burden of self-reported penicillin allergies in total joint arthroplasty (TJA).

Predicting the length of stay (LOS) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has become more important with their recent removal from inpatient-only designation. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program surgical risk calculator and the CMS’ diagnosis-related group (DRG) calculator are two common LOS predictors. The aim of our study was to determine how our actual LOS compared with those predicted by both the ACS and DRG.

Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been introduced in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the goal of increased accuracy of component positioning by custom fitting cutting guides to the patient’s bony anatomy. A criticism of this technology is the associated cost. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the cost-utility of PSI compared with standard of care (SOC) instrumentation for TKA in an obese population.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established procedure for treating knee joint diseases. However, the postoperative range of motion (ROM) varies and is an important indicator of TKA success. Recently, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient satisfaction have drawn attention. However, the relationship between ROM and knee function obtained by PROM and satisfaction is not well understood.

The 2-octyl cyanoacrylate topical adhesive with flexible self-adhesive polyester mesh (Dermabond Prineo) is becoming widely used in many surgical fields. However, no prior studies have tested the efficacy and safety of this topical adhesive compared with subcuticular suture in the same patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between Dermabond Prineo and subcuticular suture for skin closure in patients undergoing same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs).

Genu recurvatum is a rare knee deformity. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in severe preoperative recurvatum requires surgical adjustments. Few studies have assessed the clinical and radiological results of TKA in recurvatum. The aim was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes, complications, and revision rates after posterior-stabilized TKA in severe recurvatum with those without recurvatum.

The average age of patients benefiting from total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been declining. In addition to pain relief, patients seek to return to physical activity. However, the latter may increase polyethylene wear and therefore the potential risk of early aseptic loosening. The introduction of highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) has reduced wear rates in the general patient population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of impact sports in patients operated with THA using ceramic-on-conventional polyethylene (cPE) versus ceramic-on-HXLPE, in terms of wear and function, with a minimum of five year follow-up.

The custom triflange acetabular component is used during revision THA to address severe acetabular bone loss. Midterm results are promising, with low rates of loosening and triflange revision reported. However, reoperation and overall complication rates remain high.

Two methods for detecting synovial fluids alpha defensins are available: the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the lateral flow test. For both, the proper role and accuracy remain uncertain. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for alpha defensin detection in synovial fluids of patients with total knee arthroplasty/total hip arthroplasty failures. The hypothesis was that the alpha defensin measurement through MALDI-TOF MS assay could be a high sensitive and specific test for periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) diagnosis as compared with Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria.

Patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have an increased likelihood of having an abnormal coagulation profile compared with the general population. Coagulation abnormalities are often screened for before surgery and considered during perioperative planning. This study assesses a preoperative abnormal coagulation profile as a risk factor for postoperative complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA), revision THA (rTHA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and revision TKA (rTKA) and then examines specific coagulopathies to determine their influence on complication rates.

Periprosthetic femur fractures (PFF) involving primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain a significant concern. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical approach during primary THA on early PFF with respect to fracture timing, incidence, radiographic parameters, and surgery-related factors.

Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) are associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure in patients with metal-on-metal bearings and/or taper corrosion, which can also occur in metal-on-polyethylene articulations. Patients are monitored with blood cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) concentrations which do not always correlate with the degree of soft tissue reaction at revision THA. The purpose of this study was to determine how the blood and prosthetic hip synovial fluid levels of Co and Cr correlate with one another, and determine which concentration is more predictive of ALTR.

It is recommended revision for periprosthetic hip fractures (PPHF) with a loose stem. However, several authors have argued that under certain conditions, this fracture could be treated using osteosynthesis. The aim is to compare stem revision versus internal fixation in the treatment of PPHF with a loose stem.

Patients who have total knee arthroplasty (TKA) likely suffer from decreased postural stability because of postoperative changes in musculoskeletal structure and loss of proprioception. The purpose of this experimental biomechanical study was to determine if patients who have TKA improve their dynamic postural control during walking after TKA as compared with before TKA. The secondary purpose was to assess changes in postural control between post-TKA patients and healthy controls.

Titanium tapered stems (TTS) achieve fixation in the femoral diaphysis and are commonly used in revision total hip arthroplasty. The initial stability of a TTS is critical, but the minimum contact length needed and impact of implant-specific taper angles on axial stability are unknown. This biomechanical study was performed to better guide operative decision-making by addressing these clinical questions.

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the effect and safety of multimodal cocktail protocols implemented with or without glucocorticoids on periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
