Continuous wound drainage after arthroplasty can lead to the development of a periprosthetic joint infection. Closed incisional negative pressure therapy (ciNPWT) has been reported help alleviate and other complications. The purpose this prospective randomized controlled trial is compare use ciNPWT with our standard care dressing in revision patients who were at high risk develop complications.A total 160 undergoing elective prospectively receive either or silver-impregnated occlusive...
Obesity is a well-established risk factor for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and number of complications including prosthetic infection. The annual changes in the prevalence obesity among primary, revision, infected TJA has not been studied at national level. Given higher costs TJA, it important to understand association with trends revision TJA.(1) Is increasing patients undergoing THA/TKA? (2) (3) THA/TKA?Annual volumes THA TKA from 1998 2011 were obtained Nationwide Inpatient Sample....
Abstract Although there are many studies on the alignment advantages when using robotic arm–assisted (RAA) system for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), have been questions regarding patient-reported outcomes. Therefore, purpose of this study was to use index compare: (1) total, (2) physical function, and (3) pain scores manual versus RAA patients. We compared 53 consecutive TKAs. No differences in preoperative were found between cohorts. Patients administered a modified Western Ontario McMaster...
This study evaluated the use of telerehabilitation during postoperative period for patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental (UKA). Specifically, this following: (1) patient compliance and adherence to program, (2) time spent performing physical therapy exercises, (3) usability virtual rehabilitation platform, (4) clinical outcome scores in a selected primary cohort. A 157 consecutive TKA (n = 18) UKA 139). These used system with an instructional avatar,...
Although several studies highlight the advantages of robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA), few investigate its intraoperative outcome. Therefore, purpose this study was to analyze RA-TKA's ability assist with correction of: (1) flexion and (2) extension gaps, as well (3) accurately predict implant sizes. Additionally, in RA-TKA cohort, length stay, complications, readmissions were assessed. A 335 patients who underwent included. The software virtually measured prebone cut...
Periprosthetic joint infection is a serious complication after THA and commonly treated with two-stage revision. Antibiotic-eluting cement spacers are placed for local delivery of antibiotics. Aspirations may be performed before the second-stage reimplantation identification persistent infection. However, limited data exist regarding diagnostic parameters synovial fluid aspiration or without saline lavage from hip an antibiotic-loaded spacer.We asked: (1) For hips antibiotic spacers, does...
Younger patients undergoing cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may be at risk for lower implant survivorship and higher revision rates due to the historical increased prevalence of aseptic loosening instability in this cohort. The recent advances cementless TKAs mitigate some these complications. However, there is a paucity studies reporting on who are under 50 years have undergone TKA. Therefore, study evaluated: (I) survivorship; (II) functional outcomes complications; (III)...
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate usage prehabilitation on a telehealth platform prior total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and its impact short-term outcomes. Specifically, examined whether patients participating in program impacted length stay (LOS) discharge disposition.A 476 consecutive who underwent TKA at three institutions were included. average age 65.1 years (range, 35 93 years). There 114 utilized novel that provided exercises, nutritional advice, education regarding home...
