Propionibacterium acnes is recognized as a pathogenic organism associated with periprosthetic joint infection following shoulder arthroplasty. The goal of our study was to determine the relationship between time P. growth in culture and likelihood result being true positive versus false based on proportion cultures other perioperative findings cases revision arthroplasty.We retrospectively reviewed forty-six acnes-positive among patients who underwent arthroplasty May 2010 October 2014....
Background: Propionibacterium acnes is a clinically relevant pathogen with total shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity frozen section histology in identifying patients infection during revision arthroplasty and investigate various diagnostic thresholds acute inflammation that may improve performance. Methods: We reviewed results forty-five who underwent Patients were divided into non-infection group (n = 15), 18), other 12). Routine preoperative...
Background: Diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients undergoing revision shoulder arthroplasty is challenging because the low virulence most common infecting organisms. The goal this study was to evaluate diagnostic utility measuring synovial fluid interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels for identifying PJI shoulder. Methods: Thirty-two consecutive evaluated pain at site a were prospectively enrolled from November 2012 September 2013 and underwent surgery (thirty-five procedures...
Background: In the last decade, widespread use of regional anesthesia in total knee arthroplasty has led to improvements pain control, more rapid functional recovery, and reductions length hospital stay. The aim this study was compare efficacy adductor canal blocks (ACB) periarticular anesthetic injections (PAI), both with bupivacaine, for management arthroplasty. Methods: One hundred fifty-five patients undergoing primary under spinal were randomized 1 3 groups: ACB alone (15 mL 0.5%...
Object Reversal of the normal cervical spine curvature, as seen in kyphosis, can lead to mechanical pain, neurological dysfunction, and functional disabilities. Surgical intervention is warranted patients with sufficiently symptomatic deformities an attempt correct deformed spine. In theory, improved outcomes should accompany a greater degree correction toward lordosis, although there are few data available test this relationship. The purpose study determine if deformity correlates...
Robot-assisted surgery was developed to improve accuracy and outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One important determinant of TKA success is a well-balanced throughout the range motion. The purpose this study determine if robot-assisted (RA-TKA) results improved intracompartmental ligament balance compared with conventional jig-based instrumentation (CM-TKA).This retrospective cohort included 2 cohorts-a CM-TKA (n = 49) vs RA-TKA 37) cohort. Demographic intraoperative data, including...
BackgroundFemoral nerve (FNB) and adductor canal blocks (ACB) are used in the setting of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but neither has been demonstrated to be clearly superior. Although dynamometer studies have shown ACBs spare perioperative quadriceps function when compared FNBs, widely adopted orthopaedic surgery without significant evidence that they decrease risk falls.MethodsAll patients who received single-shot FNB (129 patients) or ACB (150 at our institution for unilateral primary...
Abstract Background Soft tissue balancing in TKA has traditionally relied on surgeons’ subjective tactile feedback. Although sensor-guided devices have been proposed to provide more objective feedback, it is unclear whether their use improves patient outcomes. Questions/purposes We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing freehand with the of device and evaluated (1) knee ROM, (2) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (SF-12, WOMAC, Knee Society Functional Scores [KSFS]),...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence tranexamic acid (TXA) on functional outcomes in immediate postoperative period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized that known benefits TXA would confer measurable clinical improvements physical therapy (PT) performance, decrease pain, and hospital length stay (LOS).We retrospectively analyzed 560 TKA patients, including 280 consecutive patients whose surgery performed before initiation a standardized protocol first...
