No single test has demonstrated absolute accuracy in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Serological markers are often used as screening tools workup patients with suspected PJI. This study aimed to determine diagnostic utility plasma D-dimer for PJI a variety clinical scenarios.This prospective enrolled 502 undergoing revision hip or knee arthroplasty. was defined per modified version 2018 International Consensus Meeting (ICM) criteria. Plasma D-dimer, erythrocyte...
Background: Despite its well-established limitations, culture remains the gold standard for microbial identification in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there are no benchmarks time to positivity (TTP) on specific microorganisms. This study aimed determine TTP pathogens commonly encountered PJI. Methods: retrospective, multicenter reviewed prospectively maintained institutional PJI databases identify patients who underwent hip or knee revision arthroplasty from 2017 2021 at 2...
The dome technique is a used in performance of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) involving intraoperative joining two porous metal acetabular augments to fill massive anterosuperior medial bone defect. While excellent outcomes were achieved using this surgical series three cases, short-term results have not been reported. We hypothesized that clinical and patient reported could be with use the technique.A multicenter case was conducted for evaluation patients who underwent THA management...
Background Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) place significant psychological and financial burdens on patients healthcare systems. One measure to reduce the risk of PJIs is preoperative dental screening, for which there no current consensus recommendation. This study aims determine whether a difference in rate PJI microorganism profile who did not obtain clearance. Methodology A retrospective review was conducted among undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty knee from 2017 2021....
Abstract Background Extensor mechanism disruption is a devastating complication after TKA. reconstruction can be performed using an allograft or synthetic mesh. Recent studies have disagreed about the durability of these reconstructions. Evaluating larger series reconstructions that use current popular techniques and principles provides information to guide patient surgeon expectations while bringing light potential fate patients who experience infection postoperatively. Questions/purposes...
Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality in arthroplasty patients. This issue, underrecognized by surgeons, can impact the postoperative course of There are, however, little data on implications sodium disturbances following total joint (TJA). The primary aims this study were to (1) report rate hyponatremia TJA, and (2) examine perioperative TJA patients.This was retrospective analysis 3,071 revision TJAs performed between 2015 2017. Based preoperative values (pre-post), patients...
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is the standard of care after total joint arthroplasty. However, there have been changes in prevalence certain medication classes used by institutions over time driven literature and national clinical practice guidelines. The purpose this study was to analyze patterns VTE medications past 10 years at our institution. Methods: We identified 25,095 patients who underwent a primary arthroplasty between 2012 2022. Medications for included...
