Background: The use of a tourniquet during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is controversial. Pain and return to function are believed, by some, be influenced the tourniquet. hypothesis this study was that would delay postoperative functional recovery increase pain as compared with no use. Methods: Two hundred patients were recruited for prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Patients undergo TKA either (100 patients) or without one blinded group allocation. Primary outcome...
Introduction: The pelvis is one of the most common sites for metastatic spread to bone. Ensuing pathologic fractures pose major issues patients. Fixation becomes essential decrease pain and allow weight-bearing. However, poses a unique challenge as there are certain portions like pubis that, because their natural curve, not amenable plate or screw fixation. Case Report: A 76-year-old female with known bone metastases presented clinic right hip pain. Computed tomography (CT) chest, abdomen,...
Step counts measured by activity monitoring devices (AMDs) and smartphones (SPs) can objectively measure a patient's levels after total hip knee arthroplasty (total joint [TJA]). This study investigated the use optimal body location of AMDs SPs to step in postoperative period.This was two-armed, prospective, observational TJA inpatients (n = 24) 2-week status 25) completing 100-ft walk. Observer-counted steps were compared with those (wrist ankle) (hip neck). Acceptable error defined as...
Background: Microbiological culture has been considered the standard for pathogen identification decades. However, is a laborious, time consuming, imperfect and outdated process. This study aims to inform orthopedic community of steps timing routine processing. Methods: We prospectively tracked 103 cultures from 33 revision hip knee arthroplasty patients between September 2017-February 2018. Times were recorded at intraoperative collection; pick up OR, transportation time; arrival...
