Second-Knee C-Reactive Protein After 1-Week Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty. [PDF]

open access: yesOrthop Surg
In 1‐week staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty, the second knee shows higher absolute postoperative C‐reactive protein, a difference that appears driven substantially by the unresolved inflammatory floor carried over from the first operation. This paired pattern supports cautious interpretation of modest second‐knee CRP elevations during early ...

Mapping the lineage of prostate tissue ablation medical device predicates for focal therapy of prostate cancer approved via the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway

open access: yesSurgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Medical devices are reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness. Class II devices can receive 510(k) clearance if they are “substantially equivalent” to an existing predicate device. This process can be repeated iteratively, leading to a lineage of predicates for newly cleared devices.

Infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) vs. selective tibial nerve block for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty: a triple‐blinded randomised controlled trial

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the knee (IPACK) and the selective tibial nerve block provide analgesia for the posterior aspect of the knee after total knee arthroplasty. This randomised controlled triple‐blinded trial tested the hypothesis that IPACK provides superior analgesia to selective tibial ...

Depth and Procedure Specific Effects of Antimicrobial Versus Conventional Sutures on Surgical Site Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial sutures may be particularly beneficial in colorectal and abdominal procedures, where reductions in deep SSI may offset the additional suture cost. Several studies also reported favorable wound‐healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common postoperative complications that delay wound healing and increase ...
