While risk factors have been published for readmissions following primary total joint arthroplasty, little is known about the etiology of those costly adverse events. In this study, we sought to identify the reasons for 30-day readmission following primary total joint arthroplasty in a contemporary national patient sample.

Decreased cost associated with same-day discharge (SDD) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has led to an increased interest in this topic. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a population of TKA patients in which SDD has similar rates of 30-day complications compared to patients discharged on postoperative day 1 or 2.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable procedure for end-stage osteoarthritis with excellent long-term survivorship, but approximately 15% of patients are not satisfied. Pain catastrophizing (PC) has been proposed as a potential cause but current evidence is limited to smaller studies with short-term follow-up. Our goal was to assess outcomes following TKA in a large cohort with and without PC.

Consensus regarding prior dental problems on the outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients is lacking. Therefore, our objectives were to determine the association of dental caries or dental implant placement in TKA patients on the following: (1) medical complications; (2) health care utilization (lengths of stay and readmissions); (3) implant-related complications; and (4) expenditures.

Many previous studies of total hip arthroplasty (THA) have focused on adverse events occurring within 30 days of surgery. Studies examining 90-day postoperative adverse events have typically not focused on the timing of adverse events within that period. The current study evaluated the rate and timing of adverse events within 90 days of THA.

There are numerous studies demonstrating that closed suction drainage (CSD) usage after primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has little to no benefit. There are little data on the role of CSDs after revision TJA. The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether there is any clinical advantage to CSD usage after revision TJA.

It is unknown if patients are relieved of pain after knee arthroplasty revision for unexplained pain. The aim of this cross-sectional case-control study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction 1 to 3 years after revision of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) for the indications of unexplained pain versus aseptic loosening.

Perioperative advancements have made outpatient primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) a viable option for patients. This study evaluated the feasibility of expedited discharge after revision THA and compared 30-day outcomes to patients who had prolonged inpatient hospitalizations. The authors hypothesized that expedited discharge would not result in inferior 30-day outcomes.
