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...

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty of the medial compartment has excellent long-term clinical outcomes. Arthritis isolated to lateral is much less common; subsequently, outcomes treatment that condition are frequently reported. Most commonly, approached through a arthrotomy. The purpose this study was determine mid-term results unicondylar replacement arthrotomy in patients with primary osteoarthritis or posttraumatic arthritis.From 1991 2004, forty-nine unicompartmental arthroplasties were...

Effective wound closure is critical to minimizing complications and withstanding the forces associated with early knee motion after TKA. Barbed sutures allow for knotless fixation, have been used successfully in other specialties, may provide more even distribution of tension along length incision; however, data regarding unidirectional barbed from randomized trials raised important concerns about their use. Bidirectional offer a potential alternative, but not studied extensively orthopaedic...

Background: Revision hip arthroplasty is associated with a dislocation rate that three to five times greater than the following primary replacement. Conversion of hemiarthroplasty total replacement revision arthroplasty, but it differs from revisions arthroplasties because native acetabulum replaced and subsequent prosthetic femoral head smaller. It was our purpose determine whether risk conversion surgery same as or Methods: From 1994 2005, eighty-nine hemiarthroplasties were converted in...

Hybrid revision knee component fixation, in which cement is placed the metaphysis combined with a cementless diaphyseal engaging stem, provides ease of insertion, possibly improved alignment, and easier removal if required, compared fully cemented prostheses. The literature suggests technique has 2 to 5 year survivorship ranging from 81% 94%.To confirm we asked whether (1) modified hybrid fixation durable reliable at an average 5-year followup, (2) this method clinical improvements as...

Background: A total knee arthroplasty with a four-peg tibial baseplate is an uncommonly used contemporary design. Potential advantages of this include preservation host bone, compatibility minimally invasive techniques, and easier removal revision techniques. The purpose study was to determine the long-term results that included baseplate. Methods: From February 1995 December 1996, 127 arthroplasties were performed by one surgeon in 115 patients average age seventy years. Clinical...

HTX-011 is an extended-release, dual-acting local anesthetic consisting of bupivacaine and low-dose meloxicam in a novel polymer that administered by needle-free application during surgery. The active ingredients are released from the controlled diffusion over 72 hours.This phase 2b, double-blind, placebo-controlled active-controlled trial enrolled patients undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. Two hundred thirty-two were randomized into 4 groups:...

Background: Knee arthritis in the young patient is a challenging problem that may necessitate surgical treatment. We continue to perform hemiarthroplasty with metallic tibial implant selected patients who, for various reasons, are not candidates osteotomy, unicompartmental arthroplasty, or total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of present study was determine minimum twelve-year results this procedure patients. Methods: original group consisted consecutive series twenty-four (twenty-six knees)...

The unicompartmental knee arthroplasty continues to gain popularity as a viable treatment option for disease isolated one compartment. It has been reported provide decreased perioperative morbidity, faster recovery, and excellent long- term survival. We hypothesized that the is durable enough benefit octogenarians, may be alternative total definitive of localized arthritis in this age group. From 1978 1990, 28 consecutive patients (38 knees) 80 years or older had arthroplasties. Knee Society...
