Does bariatric surgery prior to total hip or knee arthroplasty reduce post-operative complications and improve clinical outcomes for obese patients? Systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
AIMS: Our aim was to determine whether, based on the current literature, bariatric surgery prior to total hip (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces the complication rates and improves the outcome following arthroplasty in obese patients. METHODS:

Patellofemoral Arthroplasty [PDF]
Patellofemoral arthritis is a common cause of anterior knee pain and limits flexion-related activities of daily living and exercise. While frequently present in bicompartmental and tricompartmental osteoarthritis, patellofemoral arthritis can occur in isolation. Patellofemoral arthroplasty as a treatment option is gaining in popularity, especially with

Comorbidity does not predict long-term mortality after total hip arthroplasty
Background and purpose — In-hospital death following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is related to comorbidity. The long-term effect of comorbidity on all-cause mortality is, however, unknown for this group of patients and it was investigated in this study.

Revision and complex primary total hip arthroplasty with impaction bone grafting for acetabular defects: medium-term results [PDF]
Background. Impaction bone grafting remains an alternative method for managing bone deficiency. Cyclic loads on the allograft may cause its further compaction and deformation, leading to migration of the acetabular component.
