It remains unknown if a patient’s prior episode-of-care (EOC) costs for total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty procedure can be used to predict subsequent costs for future procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether there is a correlation between the EOC costs for a patient’s index and subsequent THA or TKA.

Patients presenting to an orthopedic clinic with joint pain often seek prior care and imaging before consultation. It is unknown how often orthopedic surgeons must repeat imaging and whether repeat imaging has an impact on diagnosis or management. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency, reason, and impact of repeating radiographs in outpatient orthopedic clinics.

Mortality after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has been thoroughly explored. Short and long-term mortality appear to be correlated with patient comorbidities. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) is a commonly performed test that reflects the variation in red blood cell size. This study investigated the utility of RDW, when combined with comorbidity indices, in predicting mortality after TJA.

As a procedure with lower surgical morbidity, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may present a practical solution for elderly patients with unicompartmental arthritis. However, few studies have analyzed the results of UKA in the extreme elderly. This study compared the functional and perioperative outcomes between octogenarians and age-appropriate controls undergoing UKA.

Hemiarthroplasty (HA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been widely discussed as treatment options for displaced osteoporotic femoral neck fractures. Pathologic femoral neck fractures from primary or metastatic tumors are comparatively rare and poorly investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes, complications, and perioperative survival for HA and THA in the treatment of pathologic femoral neck fractures of neoplastic etiology.

Active patients with displaced femoral neck fractures are often treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, optimal femoral fixation in these patients is controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare early complication and readmission rates in patients with hip fracture treated with THA receiving cemented vs cementless femoral fixation.

Mepivacaine spinal anesthetic may facilitate more rapid postoperative recovery in joint arthroplasty than bupivacaine. This study compared recovery, pain, and complications between the 2 anesthetics in anterior-approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a free-standing ambulatory surgery center (ASC).

Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is among the reasons for delay in discharge after outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), occurring in 2%-46% of patients. We hypothesized that the frequency of POUR following outpatient THA in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is low compared to previously reported rates and that management can be effective in the perioperative period when it is encountered.

Mobilization on the day of surgery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely used. However, elderly, obese and severely diseased patients are often excluded from early mobilization. Therefore, it was our aim to investigate the effect of mobilization on the day of surgery with focus on these patients.

Pelvic tilt affects acetabular anteversion, and thus total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocation risk. The pubic symphysis-sacrococcygeal distance (PSCD) is an indicator of pelvic tilt, and a PSCD < 0 mm (ie, excessive posterior pelvic tilt) is associated with a 3.7-fold increase in postoperative dislocation rate. However, it is not known if the direct anterior (DA) approach might reduce this dislocation rate, specifically in high-risk populations such as negative PSCD.

Historically, aseptic loosening and osteolysis were responsible for most of the revisions among young and more active patients. Ceramic-on-ceramic bearings reduced wear but presented mechanical issues such ceramic fracture or liner chipping during insertion. To prevent this from happening a titanium-encased alumina liner was developed. The aim of this study is to address long-term results of this specific ceramic design.

Dual-mobility (DM) bearings reduce instability in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, DM bearings are costly and reports of corrosion have recently emerged. Furthermore, no study has compared DM to standard bearings with large diameter femoral heads ?40-mm. This study’s purpose was to compare postoperative dislocation rates of standard and DM bearings with large femoral heads after revision THA.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a rare, yet devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Chronic infection is generally considered a contraindication to debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR); however, outcomes stratified by chronicity have not been well documented.

Antibiotic cement articulating spacers are recommended during 2-stage revision for prosthetic knee infection because of increased range of motion (ROM) and improved function; however, spacer mechanical complications have been reported. We aimed to determine the association between different constraints of articulating spacers and the rate of complications and infection eradication, functional outcomes, and ROM.

It has been hypothesized that the patella, working in conjunction with both medial and lateral femoral condyles, can influence kinematic parameters such as posterior femoral rollback and axial rotation. The objective of this study is to determine the in vivo kinematics of subjects implanted with a fixed-bearing (FB) or mobile-bearing (MB) posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a specific focus on evaluating the impact that Anatomic and Medialized Dome patellar components have on tibiofemoral kinematic patterns.

In recent time, there has been an increased push toward transparency in industry funding toward physicians. The Physician Payments Sunshine Act called for the creation of the Open Payments Database managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. To our knowledge, there have been no studies evaluating the trends in payments among adult reconstruction fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to investigate trends in all payments to adult reconstruction-trained orthopedic surgeons from 2014 to 2019. Secondary outcomes included evaluating trends in yearly subpayment categories, regional variations, as well as characterizing the top 5 industry companies.

An upcoming total joint arthroplasty (TJA) may motivate patients with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] > 40 kg/m2) to lose weight. Weight loss can optimize outcomes following TJA, and many surgeons use a 40 kg/m2 cut-off for undergoing TJA to reduce the risk of complications. However, few patients who are denied TJA for severe obesity successfully lose weight. This is the first systematic review of nonsurgical weight loss interventions before TJA.

Although preoperative opioid use has been associated with poor postoperative patient-reported outcome measures and delayed return to work in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty, direct surgery-related complications in patients on chronic opioids are still not clear. Thus, we sought to perform a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the influence of preoperative opioid use on postoperative complications and revision following primary total joint arthroplasty.
