Comparison of External Rotation Torque of Short External Rotator Muscles in Hip Flexion Position
Preserving the short external rotator muscles of the hip helps prevent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, but it's unclear which muscles are most critical. This study quantified the external rotation torque in cadaveric hips and found that the obturator externus provides the highest torque during deep hip flexion, where dislocations often occur.

Cobalt cardiomyopathy in hip arthroplasty [PDF]
Cobalt toxicity-related cardiomyopathy in hip arthroplasty has recently been reported in the literature. The purpose of this review is to identify and assess available published evidence of cardiomyopathy in hip arthroplasty patients and to derive recommendations for management.We evaluated 23 cases reported until October 2018 and stratified them into ...

Reduced Muscle Strength Can Alter the Impact of Gait Modifications on Knee Cartilage Mechanics
ABSTRACT Muscle strength can substantially influence knee joint loading, stability, and cartilage biomechanics, all of which are important factors in the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Noninvasive rehabilitation methods, such as gait modifications, are suggested to effectively alter knee joint loading, potentially helping to ...

ABSTRACT Isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) is a promising tool for diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), based on real‐time measurement of growth‐related heat production of pathogens, and faster than conventional microbial cultures. However, the feasibility of identifying specific pathogens in clinical samples using IMC has yet to be proven.
