Body Mass Index Modifies the Effect of Hemovac Drainage on Blood Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty
In tranexamic acid–treated primary total knee arthroplasty, estimated blood loss increased with rising BMI when no drain was used but remained stable across the BMI range with Hemovac drainage. These findings support a BMI‐based, selective use of drains rather than routine placement.

Standardized drainless DAA‐THA closure using Symmetric PDS Plus is safe and efficient, with “time to clinical dryness” serving as a pragmatic indicator of early healing. Furthermore, bikini incisions significantly improve aesthetics without compromising safety, as wound complication risks are primarily driven by host comorbidities.

PURPOSE: Rifampin combination therapy plays an important role in the management of staphylococcal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the emergence of rifampin resistance is a feared complication.

Second‐Knee C‐Reactive Protein After 1‐Week Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty
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 ...

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has developed rapidly in the last decade and is emerging as a promising diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, its diagnostic value for PJI is still uncertain.

Aquacel Surgical Dressing Reduces the Rate of Acute PJI Following Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Case-Control Study. [PDF]
An effort to prevent PJI has led to the development of antimicrobial dressings that support wound healing. We sought to determine whether Aquacel Surgical dressing independently reduces the rate of acute PJI following TJA.

Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and early implant failure and osseointegration
Abstract Background This systematic review investigated the relationship between pre‐operative vitamin D levels and implant osseointegration and implant‐related outcomes. It also assessed studies involving vitamin D supplementation before implant placement.

Background and purpose: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a severe impact on patients. We investigated the risk of second revision and mortality following first-time revision due to PJI. Methods: We identified 1,

Peri‐implantitis—Is it mainly a clinician‐initiated complication of implant therapy?
Abstract Aim The high prevalence of peri‐implantitis is concerning, with a growing consensus that the majority of cases are complications initiated by clinician‐related errors rather than classic pathology. A primary predisposing factor for peri‐implantitis is exposure of the micro‐rough implant surfaces to the peri‐implant sulcus after treatment ...
