Recent studies suggest an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) utilizing the direct anterior (DA) approach to the hip. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether such an increased risk does indeed exist on a large cohort of patients, operated by experienced surgeons and taking into account various confounders. This was ...

Although frailty has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), prior studies have not examined how race/ethnicity might moderate these associations. We aimed to assess race/ethnicity as a potential moderator of the associations of frailty and functional s...

Total hip arthroplasty with ceramic-on-ceramic articulation aims to decrease wear, osteolysis, and aseptic loosening. A metal-backed ceramic liner was developed to reduce the risk of liner fracture. However, a significant number of cases of mal-seating of the metal-backed ceramic liner were observed in the 2000s, and there were concerns about their...

Higher rates of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are related to patient risk factors and/or to special surgical procedures such as revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Among the measures discussed to better protect those patients from the higher infection risks use of dual antibiotic-loaded bone cement has emerged as a further prophylactic op...
