Use of a tourniquet is not associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism after fast-track total knee arthroplasty: a prospective multicenter cohort study of 16,250 procedures

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica, 2023
Background and purpose: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious postoperative complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Use of a tourniquet has shown conflicting results for risk of VTE after TKA. We aimed to investigate the associated risk of

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...
