The aim of this study was to determine if a three-month course microorganism-directed oral antibiotics reduces the rate failure due further infection following two-stage revision for chronic prosthetic joint (PJI) hip and knee.A total 185 patients undergoing in seven different centres were prospectively enrolled. Of these patients, 93 randomized receive three months reimplantation; 88 no antibiotics, four withdrawn before randomization. 181 28 lost follow-up, six died two years five with...
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is proven to reduce blood loss following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but there are limited data on the impact of similar dosing regimens in revision TKA. The purpose this multicentre randomized clinical trial was determine optimal regimen maximize blood-sparing properties TXA TKA.From six-centres, 233 TKAs were one four regimens: 1 g intravenous (IV) given prior skin incision, a double-dose IV both incision and at time wound closure, combination intraoperative...
In patients with a "dry" aspiration during the investigation of prosthetic joint infection (PJI), saline lavage is commonly used to obtain sample for analysis. The aim this study was investigate prospectively impact on synovial fluid analysis in revision arthroplasty.Patients undergoing hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (TKA) any septic aseptic indication were enrolled. Intraoperatively, prior arthrotomy, maximum amount possible aspirated simulate dry tap (pre-lavage) followed by injection 20...
Background: The purpose of this multicenter, randomized trial was to determine the optimal dosing regimen tranexamic acid (TXA) minimize perioperative blood loss in revision total hip arthroplasty. Methods: Six centers prospectively 175 patients 1 4 regimens: (1) 1-g intravenous (IV) TXA prior incision (the single-dose IV group), (2) followed by after arthrotomy wound closure double-dose (3) a combination and intraoperative topical combined or (4) 3 doses totaling 1,950-mg oral multidose...
Accurate placement of the acetabular component is essential in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose this study was to determine if ability achieve inclination within 'safe-zone' 30° 50° could be improved with use an inclinometer.We reviewed 167 primary THAs performed by a single surgeon over period 14 months. Procedures were at two institutions: inpatient hospital, where inclinometer used (inclinometer group); and ambulatory centre, not as it adequately sterilized (control group). We...
Abstract Background and Objectives Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is an aggressive soft tissue tumor with unpredictable recurrence pattern. We sought to (a) determine whether margin status in MFS correlated rates of local (LR) (b) identify demographic treatment variables associated disease‐related outcomes this population. Methods This retrospective study identified 42 surgically treated patients over 10 years at a single institution. Patient demographics, characteristics, intraoperative variables,...
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is an alternative to conventional total hip (THA) with potential advantages of preserving femoral bone stock and the ability participate in higher impact activities. This study compares outcomes, satisfaction preference patients who underwent HRA 1 THA on contralateral side.62 Patients a were retrospectively identified at 3 centres, consisting 38 males 24 females 53 (85.5%) undergoing first. A survey regarding for each procedure outcome scores...
