Background: At our institution, surgeons were observing cases of failed total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with surface delamination the tibial insert fabricated by direct compression molding. The increase in unexpected failure led us to investigate prevalence and its causes through use retrieval analysis reviews clinical, demographic, radiographic data. Methods: Between 2000 2019, a 519 Exactech Optetrak posterior-stabilized direct-compression-molded polyethylene inserts had been retrieved....
Obesity has an important impact on the future of total joint arthroplasty; however, definition and influence obesity surgical risks outcomes remain controversial. Our hypothesis was that percent body fat better than mass index (BMI) at identifying clinical patient-reported functional following arthroplasty.Clinical were collected prospectively in 215 patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty (115 patients) or hip (100 a mean time twenty-four months (range, twelve to forty months)....
Osteoporosis is highly prevalent in elective orthopedic surgery. While preoperative bone health optimization decreases osteoporosis-related complications, there an unmet need to establish who may benefit from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This study assesses a novel, simple screening protocol identify surgical patients for DXA.
Although commercial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) production was banned in 1979 under the Toxics Substance Control Act, inadvertent generation of PCBs through a variety chemical processes continues to contaminate products and waste streams. In this research, total 39 consumer purchased from local online retailer stores were analyzed for 209 PCB congeners. Inadvertent (iPCBs) detected seven products, PCB-11 only congener most samples, with maximum concentration exceeding 800 ng/g. Emission...
The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in THA decreases the risk transfusion after surgery. However, nearly 10% patients still undergo a transfusion, which has been independently associated with an increased complications. Preoperative anemia proven to be strong predictor THA, but ideal "cutoff" values today's population that maximize sensitivity and specificity predict have yet established.(1) Which preoperative factors are postoperative setting TXA use? (2) If hemoglobin (Hgb) remains what...
Confirmation of pertinent anatomy and accurate needle placement for de Quervain injection may improve outcomes limit complications. We evaluated the accuracy first extensor compartment in regard to following: (1) anatomic assessment, (2) without imaging guidance, (3) ultrasonography-guided with priority pollicis brevis subcompartment.Anatomic assessment was completed 50 cadaver specimens. Initial done guidance ultrasonography; its final position ultrasonography. Then, using ultrasonography,...
The number of solid organ transplants performed in the United States continues to increase annually as does survival after transplant. These unique patients are increasingly likely present arthroplasty surgeons for elective hip or knee replacement secondary a vascular necrosis from chronic immunosuppression, even age-related development osteoarthritis. Transplant recipients have well-documented increased risk complications but also excellent pain relief and dramatic improvement quality life....
The insertion of 2 elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESINs) is a common treatment for pediatric femur fractures. However, the use this technique in length-unstable or metadiaphyseal fractures has historically been associated with higher complication rates. To improve stability, addition third ESIN assessed biomechanically and clinically, but fourth nail only evaluated biomechanically. purpose study to report our surgical radiographic outcomes using quartet ESINs fractures.A retrospective...
Introduction: Annually in the USA, 113,000 patients with refractory obesity undergo bariatric surgery (BS), and a subset does so order to lower body mass index become more desirable total hip arthroplasty (THA) candidate. This study aims evaluate THA risk without surgery. Methods: 12,160 were identified claim-based review of entire Medicare database ICD-9 codes identify three groups. Patients who underwent BS prior (Group I: 1,545 experimental group) two control groups that did not but had...
Background: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) has emerged as a patient-specific customizable tool that enables 3-dimensional preoperative planning, intraoperative adjustment, robotic-assisted bone preparation, and soft-tissue protection. Haptic rTKA may enhance component positioning, but only few small studies have examined patient satisfaction clinical outcomes after haptic rTKA. Purpose: In patients who underwent rTKA, we sought to evaluate (1) the discrepancy in alignment...
