Instability constitutes over 20% of revisions after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Dual mobility (DM) designs were introduced as a solution to this problem. However, the few publications that have reported promising results for monobloc DM constructs have been limited by sample size or length of follow-up. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mi...

Distal femoral replacement (DFR) is commonly used to manage massive bone loss around the knee arising from aseptic loosening, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and distal femoral fractures. A number of studies report the outcome of DFR with considerable variation in long-term survivorship. This study investigated the outcome of DFR for patients...

Various prefabricated articulating spacer options have been described for 2-stage treatment of chronic periprosthetic joint infection, but their results are poorly generalizable between designs due to differing antibiotic and material properties. This study reports outcomes for a novel, prefabricated, commercially available cement-on-cement articul...

Self-directed rehabilitation (SDR) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been traditionally recommended. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was an impact on postoperative outcomes with the use of an SDR program after primary TKA. In this prospective, randomized, multicenter, controlled trial, we paired a smartwatch with a mob...

This study aims to: 1) Determine the prevalence of preoperative anemia in arthroplasty; 2) Assess whether preoperative anemia is associated with inferior outcomes; and 3) Ascertain whether optimization in a dedicated blood management program (BMP) is associated with improved outcomes. All primary arthroplasties performed at an academic, tertiary-ca...

Web-based platforms used to enhance patient-provider communication are being explored to improve patient satisfaction and care delivery, and decrease cost. This study tested a web-based interactive patient-provider software platform (IPSP), JointCOACH, which enabled patient communication with their care team and preparatory/recovery guidance. The a...

With the recent removal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient Only list, facility reimbursement for outpatient TKA now falls under the Outpatient Prospective Payment System at the same rate as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The purpose of this study was to compare true facili...

Same-day discharge (SDD) total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is increasingly popular, yet there remain concerns regarding patient safety, complication rates, and unforeseen overnight admission (failure to launch; FTL). The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine the outcomes of a large consecutive SDD-TJA series in the community hospital setting...

The spinopelvic relationship in regard to total hip arthroplasty has become a topic of increasing interest in recent years. Hip arthritis and a stiff lumbar spine create a situation where the spinopelvic junction has decreased mobility, which in turn increases the risk of instability after total hip arthroplasty as the femoral acetabular joint must...
