Objective This collaboration between the American College of Rheumatology and Association Hip Knee Surgeons developed an evidence‐based guideline for perioperative management antirheumatic drug therapy adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) including ankylosing spondylitis psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic (JIA), or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) undergoing elective total hip (THA) knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A panel rheumatologists, orthopedic...
Background The growing prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) and the medical costs associated with total knee replacement (TKR) surgery for end-stage OA motivate a search agents that can delay progression. We test hypothesis hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is TKR in dose-dependent manner. Methods Findings retrospectively evaluated records an administrative claims database ~79 million patients, to identify all patients who received during 6-year period. Only continuous plan enrollment from...
Evaluate the efficacy and safety/tolerability of cryoneurolysis for reduction pain symptoms associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA).Randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter trial a 6-month follow-up in patients mild-to-moderate OA. Patients were randomized 2:1 to targeting infrapatellar branch saphenous nerve (IPBSN) or sham treatment. The primary endpoint was change from baseline Day 30 Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score adjusted by site. Secondary...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure resulting in significant post-operative pain. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis targeting the infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve and anterior femoral cutaneous could relieve pain by temporarily blocking sensory conduction.A retrospective chart review 100 patients who underwent TKA was conducted to assess value adding perioperative multimodal management program. The treatment group consisted first 50 consecutively treated after practice...

Background and Objectives: Most studies based on self-reported data indicate that female patients more often than males have a same-gender preference for their primary care physician (PCP). Because preferences may not reflect true preferences, we analyzed objective to investigate patients’ PCP gender. Methods: Analyses were performed 2192 new seen within university-based healthcare system by 13 PCPs (2 male, 11 female) during 2017. New asked about gender when assigned PCP. We compared the...
The authors review their experiences with perioperative infection markers.
Abstract Background The aim of the study was to provide a gender-based analysis results large, multi-centre randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing novel cell-free aragonite-based scaffold with standard care (i.e. debridement/microfractures) for treatment chondral/osteochondral defects in knees or without concurrent osteoarthritis. Materials and methods A total 251 patients were included: 167 group 84 control. In group, there 105 males 59 females, whereas control consisted 51 32 females....
Osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head continues to be a devastating disorder for young patients. We evaluated F-18 fluoride positron emission tomography (PET) imaging modality use in detection bone involved ON hip. retrospectively reviewed records 60 consecutive patients diagnosed with and interviewed all by phone. Eleven (17 hips) those agreed participate study. classified using University Pennsylvania classification system compared each patient's plain AP scan, single photon 3-D computed...
A workgroup of clinical experts has developed an Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the use hyaluronic acid (HA) in treatment osteoarthritis (OA) knee. The increasingly broad and varied HA injections, lack published guidance, limited coverage their created imperative to establish appropriateness criteria.The this represent rheumatology, orthopedic surgery, physiatry, sports medicine, nursing clinicians with substantive knowledge intra-articular therapy. This utilized results a systematic...
The prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is 0.40%-1.2%. Trends in TJA are for shorter hospital stays with lower complication rates. aim this study to evaluate whether length stay (LOS) associated risk a thromboembolic event TJA.This was retrospective patients undergoing during 2013-2017 at Louisiana and Texas hospitals. Univariable analyses multivariable logistic regression examined patient characteristics (sex, race, age, body mass index, Charlson...
Since inflammatory mechanisms have been postulated to link obesity osteoarthritis, the current study evaluated ratio of immune cells multipotent stromal within infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SQ) knee; each depot has potential as a source regenerative cells. The immunophenotypes vascular fraction (SVF) adipose-derived stem (ASCs) IPFP SQ were determined in tissues from osteoarthritic subjects (n = 7) undergoing total knee replacement. Based on subset surface...
Patient expectations and demographics are vital factors in determining patient satisfaction outcomes from total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study was a retrospective chart review that analyzed data TKA patients to determine the impact of age on patient-reported measures following TKA. Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Oxford scores were collected as primary outcome 356 consecutive who underwent further divided into pain function subscores. Patients...
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a top cause disability among elderly. Total replacement (TKR) has been available as an effective and definite surgical method to treat severe OA knee. However, TKR significant procedure with potential risk for serious complications high costs. Alternative lower therapies that can delay or obviate are valuable those who poor candidates surgery wish avoid long possible. Given chondroprotective effects hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, they safe treatment...
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of disability among US adults and most commonly affects knee. Guidelines for knee OA treatment include behavioral, nonpharmacological, pharmacological, surgical interventions. While emerging treatments show promise pain control, data gaps remain regarding efficacy, safety, comparative effectiveness, real-world value treatments. Objectives: The Innovations in Genicular Outcomes Registry (IGOR) prospectively collecting to assess clinical...
