Does BMI influence hospital stay and morbidity after fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty?

Acta Orthopaedica, 2016
Background and purpose — Body mass index (BMI) outside the normal range possibly affects the perioperative morbidity and mortality following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in traditional care programs.

Decreased risk of knee buckling with adductor canal block versus femoral nerve block in total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study

Arthroplasty Today, 2017
Background: Femoral nerve (FNB) and adductor canal blocks (ACB) are used in the setting of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but neither has been demonstrated to be clearly superior.

Impact of Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) collaboration on demographics, methods and revision rates in knee arthroplasty: a register-based study from NARA 2000–2017

Acta Orthopaedica, 2022
Background and purpose: We have previously observed differences in treatment and outcome of knee arthroplasties in the Nordic countries. To evaluate the impact of Nordic collaboration in the last 15 years we aimed to compare patient demographics ...

Referral recommendations for osteoarthritis of the knee incorporating patients' preferences [PDF]

, 2010
Background. GPs have to respond to conflicting policy developments. As gatekeeper they are supposed to manage the growing demand for specialist services and as patient advocate they should be responsive to patients' preferences.

Feasibility of a prospective multicenter observational study—is diabetes a risk factor in ERAS joint arthroplasty?

Pilot and Feasibility Studies
Background Diabetes mellitus is a surgical risk factor, yet perioperative diabetes management remains debated, with inconsistent guidelines and limited consideration on the implementation of “enhanced recovery after surgery” (ERAS) programs.

Day-case hip and knee arthroplasty does not increase healthcare system contacts: a prospective multicenter study in a public healthcare setting

Acta Orthopaedica
Background and purpose: Discharge on day of surgery after hip or knee arthroplasty is increasing, but whether this leads to an increase in the overall number of post-discharge healthcare system contacts is unknown.

The role of pain and function in determining patient satisfaction after total knee replacement - Data from the National Joint Registry for England and Wales

, 2007
A postal questionnaire was sent to 10 000 patients more than one year after their total knee replacement (TKR). They were assessed using the Oxford knee score and were asked whether they were satisfied, unsure or unsatisfied with their TKR.

Targeted computational probabilistic corroboration of experimental knee wear simulator: the importance of accounting for variability [PDF]

, 2011
Experimental testing is widely used to predict wear of total knee replacement (TKR) devices. Computational models cannot replace this essential in vitro testing, but they do have complementary strengths and capabilities, which make in silico models a ...

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

Infection burden in total hip and knee arthroplasties: an international registry-based perspective

Arthroplasty Today, 2017
Background: Infection remains a leading cause of failure of hip and knee replacements. Infection burden is the ratio of implants revised for infection to the total number of arthroplasties in a specific period, measuring the steady state of infection in ...
