Complications of Small Joint Arthroplasty

Hand Clinics, 2010
Arthritis in the small joints of the hand can be treated with arthrodesis or arthroplasty. Arthrodesis has known risks of infection, pain, and nonunion. Distal interphalangeal (DIP) arthroplasty has been successful in preserving motion and alleviating pain for distal DIP, proximal interphalangeal, and metacarpophalangeal joints.

Reducing and Recycling in Joint Arthroplasty

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2012
Reducing the need for costly contaminated waste processing after total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) could decrease hospital overhead and the environmental impact. From March through April 2011, we prospectively identified 20 consecutive patients undergoing primary THA or TKA by 1 surgeon in 1 operating room at our ...

Pseudotumors in Total Joint Arthroplasty

JBJS Reviews, 2021
» The true incidence of pseudotumors in association with total joint arthroplasty is underestimated.» Pseudotumors occur with metal-on-metal, metal-on-polyethylene, and metal-on-ceramic articulations.» Metal ion levels should not be the only factor in decision-making regarding revision surgery.» Revision surgery is only ...
