Financial burden for patients, providers, and payers can reduce access to physical therapy (PT) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the present study was examine effect a virtual PT program on health-care costs clinical outcomes as compared with traditional care TKA.At least 10 days before unilateral TKA, patients from 4 sites were enrolled randomized 1:1 (involving an avatar [digitally simulated] coach, in-home 3-dimensional biometrics, telerehabilitation remote clinician...
Background: Propionibacterium acnes has arisen as the most common microorganism identified at time of revision shoulder arthroplasty. There is limited evidence to suggest how frequently false-positive cultures occur. The purpose this prospective controlled study was evaluate culture growth from specimens obtained during open surgery. Methods: Patients undergoing an deltopectoral approach were prospectively enrolled. with a history surgery or any concern for active previous infection...
Background: Patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty frequently receive blood transfusions. The relationship between transfusion and the risk of infection following joint is unclear. In this study, we sought to examine impact allogeneic autologous on acute arthroplasty. Methods: We performed a retrospective study consecutive primary arthroplasties arthroplasties. who had reoperation for suspected within three months after were identified. Differences in factors assessed across...
Drone-delivered automated external defibrillators (AEDs) hold promises in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Our objective was to estimate time needed perform resuscitation with a drone-delivered AED and measure cardiopulmonary (CPR) quality.
Background: This series reviews the clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients who underwent total ankle replacement (TAR) using first- second-generations a modern fixed-bearing prosthesis utilizing modular intramedullary stem. Methods: A consecutive second-generation primary TARs with stems were identified. Clinical outcome data collected prospectively—including visual analog scale for pain, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society hindfoot-ankle, Short Musculoskeletal Function...
Tobacco use is a known risk factor for increased perioperative complications and having worse functional outcomes in many orthopedic procedures. To date, no study has elucidated the effect of cigarette smoking on or outcome scores after total ankle replacement (TAR).We retrospectively reviewed records 642 patients who had TAR between June 2007 February 2014 with status. These were separated into 3 groups based their status: 34 current smokers, 249 former 359 nonsmokers. Outcome...
The prevalence of obesity in the United States is staggering. Currently, effect on third-generation total ankle replacement (TAR) unknown.We prospectively identified a consecutive series 455 primary TARs operated between May 2007 and September 2013 who had minimum follow-up 2 years. We 266 patients with body mass index (BMI) <30 (control), 116 BMI 30 35 (Obese I), 73 >35 II). Clinical outcomes including wound issues, infection rate, complications, failure rates were compared. Functional...
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgery for the treatment of osteoarthritis; however, risk post-operative prosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains at 1% to 2%. The purpose this study was investigate safety profile using vancomycin powder (VP) reduce rates by reviewing acute postoperative complications.A retrospective review 265 consecutive patients undergoing THA performed. first 128 patients, control group, did not receive VP, and subsequent 137 VP received time wound closure....
Wound complications following total ankle replacement (TAR) potentially lead to devastating consequences. The aim of this study was compare the operative and demographic differences in patients with without major wound problems which required management. We hypothesized that increased tourniquet time would negatively influence healing.We identified a consecutive series 762 primary TARs performed between December 1999 April 2014 whose data were prospectively collected. then subset who...
