Infection burden in total hip and knee arthroplasties: an international registry-based perspective

Arthroplasty Today, 2017
Background: Infection remains a leading cause of failure of hip and knee replacements. Infection burden is the ratio of implants revised for infection to the total number of arthroplasties in a specific period, measuring the steady state of infection in ...

Lower preoperative Kellgren–Lawrence grade is associated with improved long‐term survivorship following medial meniscus posterior root repair

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an association between preoperative Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grade and long‐term failure rates, reoperation free survival rates, and patient reported outcomes of patients undergoing medial meniscal posterior root repair (MMPRR).

The effect of total knee arthroplasty on joint movement during functional activities and joint range of motion with particular regard to higher flexion users

, 2005
Study aimed to evaluate active and functional knee excursion of patients before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to determine whether TKA restores quality of life related to functional activities of daily living. Found that although TKA offers

Evaluation of range of motion restriction within the hip joint [PDF]

, 2012
In Total Hip Arthroplasty, determining the impingement free range of motion requirement is a complex task. This is because in the native hip, motion is restricted by both impingement as well as soft tissue restraint. The aim of this study is to determine

Managing the meniscus part I—Anatomy, biomechanics, and treatment strategies for the atraumatic meniscus tear

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this article is to serve as the first of a two‐part review on the meniscus; in this review, we will establish the background on anatomy and pathogenesis of the meniscus, as well as the effect of the meniscus on native knee kinematics and function.

The CUSUM chart method as a tool for continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes using routinely collected data. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: The lack of robust systems for monitoring quality in healthcare has been highlighted. Statistical process control (SPC) methods, utilizing the increasingly available routinely collected electronic patient records, could be used in creating ...

Targeting ligament boundaries rather than alignment boundaries in augmented‐reality‐assisted total knee arthroplasty ensures comparable gait patterns between operated and contralateral limbs

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Modern personalised total knee arthroplasty (TKA) techniques aim to mimic natural knee kinematics by focusing on soft‐tissue dynamics rather than static alignment. However, a consistent definition of the optimal ligamentous balance has not yet been established.

Impact of preoperative anemia on patients undergoing total joint replacement of lower extremity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
s Purpose Preoperative anemia increases postoperative morbidity, mortality, and the risk of allogeneic transfusion. However, the incidence of preoperative anemia in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and its ...
