An extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is a powerful tool for femoral component revision. There is limited evidence that directly supports its use in the setting of a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Cerclage fixation raises the theoretical concern for persistent infection. Our institutional database included 76 ETOs for revision hip arthrop...

It is unclear how epilepsy may affect total joint arthroplasty outcomes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of epilepsy on prosthesis-related complications following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a national database. Patients who have epilepsy...

With the increasing utilization of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a continually aging US population, the number of patients who have low bone mineral density who undergo TKA may concomitantly increase. This study aimed to assess the rates of short-term complications following TKA in patients who did and did not have a recent history of a prior fr...

Anterior knee pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with patient dissatisfaction. Factors related to postoperative anterior knee pain and its impact on patient outcomes are poorly understood. The following are the aims of this study: (1) to report the prevalence of anterior knee pain before and after TKA using a posterior-stabi...

Overprescription of pain medications directly fuels the opioid epidemic. Veterans are profoundly impacted. Tapered dose protocols may reduce excessive prescribing. A retrospective study of adult veterans who presented to our institution for primary total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (THA) was performed. Postdischarge opioid use was r...

Cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is thought to facilitate durable, biological fixation between the bone and implant. However, the 4-12 weeks required for osseointegration coincides with the optimal timeframe to perform a manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) if a patient develops postoperative stiffness. This study aims to determine the impac...

Intraoperative dexamethasone can reduce postoperative pain and nausea following total knee (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). To the best of our knowledge, no study to date has been adequately powered to detect the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) from early dexamethasone exposure. This study aimed to assess PJI rates and complicat...

Frailty is a well-established risk factor in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). How age modifies the impact of frailty on outcomes in these patients, however, remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to describe and evaluate the applicability of a novel risk stratification tool-the age-adjusted modified Frailty Index (aamFI)-in pati...

Removal of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the inpatient-only list has financial implications for both patients and institutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare financial parameters between patients designated for inpatient versus outpatient total joint arthroplasty. We reviewed...

In this study, we examined the association between obesity and patient-reported outcome measures after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MUKA), assessed through score changes, Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and minimal important change (MIC). Second, the association between obesity and early readmissions was examined. A total of ...
