The collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has historically been reported as costly and time-consuming, with low compliance rates that may impact reimbursement. Little research has reported the effects of mobile applications to support PROMs collection following arthroplasty. Secondary analysis of data from a multicenter randomized...

Patients presenting with periprosthetic osteolysis or fracture between ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasties are challenging to treat successfully. Long-stem implants, osteopenic bones, and patient comorbidities all represent considerable surgical challenges. Poor results of fracture fixation in this group, coupled with the desire to retain well-...

The rise of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) due to aging populations is steadily increasing the number of arthroplasties and treatment costs. This study analyzed the direct health care costs of PJI for total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Europe. The databases PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were s...

Polymyositis (PM) is a systemic connective tissue disorder that can lead to early onset degenerative joint disease and a need for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Outcomes of TKA in patients who have PM are not well documented in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate PM as a risk factor for complications after TKA. Using a nationa...

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic characteristics of bone scintigraphy single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (BS-SPECT/CT) for diagnosing aseptic loosening after uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to evaluate the following aspects: how to manage inconclusive results, the intero...

The use of the direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has steadily increased in the Netherlands since 2007. The aim of this study was to outline how the DAA has been implemented in the Netherlands. Moreover, we investigated the learning curve of the DAA at a hospital level, and explored patient characteristics of the DAA com...

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) carries major morbidity and mortality as well as a complicated and lengthy treatment course. In patients who have high degrees of socioeconomic disadvantage, this may be a particularly devastating complication. Our study sought to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic deprivation on outcomes following treatment for P...

We compared revision rates and reasons for revision for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed for osteoarthritis with and without tibial stem extensions. Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry were used to compare all-cause revision, reason, and type of revision between primary TKA using stemm...

Aseptic loosening is the most common mode of failure after total knee arthroplasty. Despite this, the diagnosis often remains challenging and mainly relies on imaging modalities. Until today, no biomarker exists to aid in diagnosing loosening of the implants. As zirconium (Zr) is often found in bone cement, where it serves as radiopacifier, this st...

Femoral neck fractures are common in individuals over 65, necessitating quick mobilization for the best outcomes. There's ongoing debate about the optimal femoral component fixation method in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for these fractures. Recent U.S. data shows a preference for cementless techniques in over 93% of primary THAs. Nonetheless, ceme...
