Several reference axes are used to establish femoral rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty, but debate continues with regard which axis is most accurately and easily identified surgery. Computer-assisted navigation systems have been developed in an attempt more consistently align implants it unknown if can improve the accuracy of as compared that achieved traditional techniques involving mechanical guides. The purposes present study were characterize variability associated...
Although various techniques are advocated to establish tibial rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty, it is unknown which most repeatable. We evaluated the precision and accuracy of five determine whether computer-assisted navigation systems can reduce variability component when compared traditional instrumentation. Eleven orthopaedic surgeons used four that required identification anatomical landmarks one extramedullary instrumentation axes on 10 cadaver legs. Two (axes between...
Computer-assisted techniques have been successfully used in many surgical procedures. More recently, computer-assisted surgery has to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of implant alignment total hip knee arthroplasty However, impact on long-term clinical outcomes survivorship joint yet be documented. The adoption systems for use will heavily influenced by economic various stakeholders health-care system. Currently, there are mixed financial incentives surgeons, hospitals, payers adopt...
Background: Several reference axes are used to establish femoral rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty, but debate continues with regard which axis is most accurately and easily identified surgery. Computer-assisted navigation systems have been developed in an attempt more consistently align implants it unknown if can improve the accuracy of as compared that achieved traditional techniques involving mechanical guides. The purposes present study were characterize variability...
Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been performed successfully, with good outcomes and low complication rates reported. Most published studies on the topic used anterolateral or posterior surgical approaches. The anterior approach is under live fluoroscopy patient supine, obviating need for repositioning during surgery. authors report their experience simultaneous arthroplasty. retrospectively reviewed data 75 patients (150 hips). Mean follow-up was 26 months (range,...
Background . Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) has a variety of associated orthopaedic manifestations that have been previously reported. We report case severe, grade 4 knee osteoarthritis (OA) with recurrent subluxation and joint laxity due to multiple extra-articular neurofibromas ultimately treated Above the Knee Amputation (AKA). Case Description A 39-year-old man presented lymphedema leading degenerative changes knee. Conservative treatment failed severity degeneration patient discomfort....
Background Routine analysis of bone specimens in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is mandatory at many institutions. The purpose this study was to determine if routine TJA specimen alters patient care or they represent an unnecessary healthcare expenditure. Methods A retrospective review performed all primary patients between October 2015 and December 2017 our institution. Pathology results were reviewed ascertain the number concordant, discrepant, discordant results. diagnosis considered...
Purpose: Major amputations of the lower extremity, specifically through and below knee, are morbid procedures requiring general anesthesia typically followed by high doses postoperative opioids. Many performed on highly comorbid, chronic wound patients with a potential for increased opioid use following surgery. Given current epidemic, perioperative narcotic-reduction strategies paramount. Our center instituted protocol major that includes continuous regional anesthesia, intraoperative pain...
Computer-navigated total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery is a recently introduced technique used to improve alignment of knee and hip replacement surgeries. Alignment components has been found be associated with implant longevity in TJA. Recent clinical studies computer navigation have shown decrease variability component positioning limb alignment. However, no long-term data available regarding the impact computer-navigated The widespread adoption TJA will dependent on outcomes...
