Arthroplasty payment traditionally includes 118 minutes for postoperative rounds and 69 minutes for postoperative office visits, amounting to 187 minutes and 7 work relative value units. Rapid recovery, ambulatory procedures, and bundled payments have altered the burden of care, with multiple studies showing an increase in physician work. Policy changes during the COVID-19 pandemic allow for precise documentation of patient touchpoints. We analyzed the duration of video, telephone, and text messaging to quantify modern arthroplasty work.

The number of octogenarians requiring a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and/or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will rise disproportionally in the coming decade. Although outcomes are comparable with younger patients, management of these older patients involves higher medical complexity at a greater expense to the hospital system. The purpose of this study was to compare the cost of care for primary THA and TKA in our bundled care patients aged ?80 years to those aged 65-80 years.

Two common diagnoses for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) are osteoarthritis (OA) and osteonecrosis (ON), pathologically different diseases that affect postoperative complication rates. The underlying pathology of ON may predispose patients to a higher rate of certain complications. Previous research has linked ON with higher mortality and revisions, but a comparison of costs and complication rates may help elucidate further risks. This study reports 90-day costs, lengths of stay (LOS), readmission rates, and complication rates between patients undergoing THA for OA and ON.

One of the most common kinematic abnormalities reported for posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) design is paradoxical anterior sliding during early and mid-flexion. PS TKAs have been designed such that the cam-post mechanism does not engage until later in flexion, making these implants vulnerable to anterior sliding during early and mid-flexion. The objective of this study is to investigate the biomechanical effect of increasing bearing conformity on a PS TKA.

PRIMARY HIP| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 7, P2523-2529, JULY 01, 2021
Despite the placement of acetabular components in the traditional “safe-zone”, dislocations and all parts of the instability spectrum, including impingement, continue to be an issue. Recent research has established the importance of a degenerative spine and adverse pelvic mobility on functional acetabular orientation. The purpose of this study is to quantify the clinical consequences of a degenerative spine and adverse pelvic mobility on prosthetic impingement in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

COMPLICATIONS - INFECTION| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 7, P2541-2545, JULY 01, 2021
Preoperative calculation of treatment failure risk in patients undergoing surgery for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is imperative to allow for medical optimization and targeted prevention. A preoperative prognostic model for PJI treatment failure was previously developed, and this study sought to externally validate the model.

COMPLICATIONS - INFECTION| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 7, P2551-2557, JULY 01, 2021
Abnormal voiding dynamics may be a modifiable risk factor for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA), but the cost-effectiveness of their optimization in the perioperative setting is unknown. Using a break-even analysis, we calculated the economic viability of perioperative voiding optimization for infection prevention after TJA in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

High rates of spacer-related complications in two-stage exchange total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been reported. Patients with advanced bone defects and abductor deficiency may benefit from a nonspacer two-stage revision. This study reports on the clinical course of a contemporary two-stage exchange for periprosthetic hip infection without spacer insertion.

Although two-stage exchange for chronic periprosthetic hip infections remains an effective option for infection eradication, long-term outcome reporting remains scarce. Compiling outcomes data for this standard of care is necessary to characterize long-term reinfection risk and identify bacteria associated with reinfection. The purpose of our study was to perform a systematic review to determine the long-term risk of reinfection after two-stage reimplantation. The second purpose was to identify the proportion of reinfections caused by the same or different organism(s) relative to the index infection.
