Background This randomized trial compared ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. We selected the postoperative incidence of quadriceps motor (defined as paresis or paralysis knee extension) at 6 hours outcome. hypothesized that, with block, would decrease its occurrence from 70% to 20%. Methods Forty arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated receive a (n=20) using 20 mL...
Background This randomized trial compared pericapsular nerve group block and periarticular local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. We hypothesized that, with block, would decrease the postoperative incidence of quadriceps weakness at 3 hours fivefold (ie, from 45% to 9%). Methods Sixty arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated receive a (n=30) using 20 mL adrenalized bupivacaine 0.50%, or 60 0.25%. Both groups also received 30...

Knee replacement has demonstrated to be a cost-effective treatment for severe knee osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, perioperative complications may occur, including recurrent hemarthrosis reaching an incidence between 0.3 and 1.6%. Success rate after conservative been reported above 80%, but in case of recurrence, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance Doppler ultrasound have used conduct the diagnosis. Arthroscopy or selective embolization is depending on etiology bleeding. Open...
Currently, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are the standard instruments used to compare arthroplasty results. Goodman et al. recently published a well-constructed scale with excellent psychometric properties that can be quickly administered. The main objective of our study was translate, culturally adapt, and validate Spanish version questionnaire in patients who underwent total hip (THA).
To describe patient-reported outcomes, radiological results, and revision to total hip replacement in patients with dysplasia that underwent periacetabular osteotomy as isolated treatment or concomitant arthroscopy.Case series study. Between 2014 2017, were included if they complained of pain had a lateral center-edge angle ≤ 20°. Exclusion criteria an in-maturate skeleton, age 40 older, previous surgery, connective tissue related disease, Tönnis osteoarthritis grade ≥ 1. All studied before...
Objective To evaluate the effect of a single intraarticular dose Gonyautoxins for pain control after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Subjects 30 consecutive patients with osteoarthritis Kellgren & Lawrence level two or more, who required TKA, were enrolled. Methods receive intra-articular infiltration 40 µg Gonyautoxins, immediately TKA wound closure. The was measured Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Additionally, range motion at 12, 36, and 60 hours hospital stay length recorded. Results...
During the surgical resolution of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures on an orthopedic table, a fluoroscope needs to be used in orthogonal planes. This requires that contralateral leg does not obstruct radioscopic view, so patients are often placed hemilithotomy position. position, also called Lloyd-Davis involves flexion, abduction, external rotation, knee flexion. However, rare complications, such as acute posterior compartment syndrome, have been described. In addition,...
Abstract Purpose Currently, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are the standard instruments used to compare arthroplasty results. Goodman et al. recently published a well-constructed scale with excellent psychometric properties that can be quickly administered. The main objective of our study was translate, culturally adapt, and validate Spanish version questionnaire in patients who underwent total hip (THA). Methods original translated into cross-culturally adapted. Then, data from...
