Our institution previously initiated a perioperative surgical home initiative to improve quality and efficiency across the hospital arc of care of primary total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty patients. Phase II of this project aimed to (1) expand the perioperative surgical home to include revision total hip arthroplasties and total knee arthroplasties, hip preservation procedures, and reconstructions after oncologic resections; (2) expand the project to include the preoperative phase; and (3) further refine the perioperative surgical home goals accomplished in phase I.

Studies have shown that lower socioeconomic status may result in adverse outcomes following total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The optimal method of defining socioeconomic status, however, continues to be debated. The purpose of this study is to determine which socioeconomic variables are associated with poor outcomes following THA and TKA.

Previous studies have shown that the depth of cement penetration and the presence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) correspond with the risk of aseptic loosening in total knee arthroplasty, while others have found a correlation between the viscosity of the cement and the depth of cement penetration. We compared cement marketed as high-viscosity cement (HVC) with one marketed by the same manufacturer as low-viscosity cement (LVC). We hypothesized that no significant difference would be found in depth of penetration or presence of RLLs between the two cohorts.

Uncemented hemiarthroplasty (UHA) for displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) is favored by some surgeons because of the reduced rate of perioperative mortality and operative time. However higher rates of intraoperative and postoperative periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) have been reported. The aim of the study was to review day-0, day-1, day-2, day-30, and one-year mortality as well as intraoperative and postoperative PPF after UHA for displaced FNF and compare this with cemented hemiarthroplasties (CHAs) performed. Secondary objectives were to assess whether femoral stem geometry and alignment were associated with PPF in UHA.

Data remain unclear as to whether the patellar button should be revised during a revision TKA (rTKA) if changing the component implant system. Our study examines whether retaining the original patellar button during an rTKA using a different implant system affects patellar tracking.

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare perioperative and postoperative variables between static and articulating spacers for the treatment of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) complicating total hip arthroplasty (THA).

COMPLICATIONS - INFECTION| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 6, P2178-2183, JUNE 01, 2021
Two-stage revision remains the standard of care for prosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty. However, there are substantial complications associated with articulating antibiotic hip spacers. Handmade and molded spacers have been shown to have higher rates of spacer fracture than antibiotic-coated prostheses (ACPs). The aim of this study is to review outcomes with an implant that is often categorized as an ACP spacer, the Zimmer-Biomet StageOne Select Femoral Spacer (ZBSO).

Anterior and posterior pelvic tilt appears to play a role in total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability. When changing from the standing to the sitting position, the pelvis typically rotates posteriorly while the hips flex and this affects the femoro-acetabular positions. This case-control study compares changes in 3-D acetabular cup orientation during functional pelvic tilt between posterior THA dislocations vs stable THAs.

COMPLICATIONS - OTHER| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 6, P2189-2196, JUNE 01, 2021
Some periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) present history and radiographic aspect consistent with an atypical femoral fracture (AFF), fulfilling the criteria for AFF except that PFFs by themselves are excluded from the diagnosis of AFFs. The aim of this study is to evaluate in a single institution series of PFFs if any of them could be considered a periprosthetic atypical femoral fracture (PAFF), and their prevalence.

Dislocation is a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA), and accounts for a high percentage of subsequent revisions. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the potential of a convolutional neural network model to assess the risk of hip dislocation based on postoperative anteroposterior pelvis radiographs.

Preoperative templating for total hip arthroplasty (THA) on digital radiography can be achieved using templating software or hybrid methods (acetate templates overlaid on digital images). No studies have examined templating with a mobile phone. We evaluated the accuracy and reproducibility of a new digital templating method using the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and iPhone, compared with the hybrid method for cementless THA.

The Fragility Index (FI) is a method for evaluating the robustness of statistically significant findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) beyond the P value in trials with dichotomous outcomes. The FI is defined as the number of patients in one arm of a trial that would have to have a different outcome to change the results of the trial from statistically significant to nonsignificant. This review assessed the FI in arthroplasty RCTs.

The American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) Annual Scientific Meeting is a leading forum for the presentation and dissemination of research regarding the management of hip and knee pathology making research presented at these meetings a representation of the current literature in the field. The purpose of this study was to quantify the level of evidence of podium presentations presented at the AAHKS annual meeting from 2015 to 2019.

COVID-19 has created a void in surgical education. Given social distancing and postponed surgeries, unique educational opportunities have arisen. Attendings from 10 adult reconstruction fellowships led a multi-institution web-based weekly collaborative, the Arthroplasty Consortium (AC), developed to educate trainees through complex arthroplasty case-based discussions.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW & META-ANALYSIS| VOLUME 36, ISSUE 6, P2227-2238, JUNE 01, 2021
Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with high patient satisfaction. However, controversy remains regarding the safety and efficacy of conducting simultaneous bilateral (simBTKA) versus staged bilateral TKA (staBTKA). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the current evidence for simBTKA versus staBTKA and compare clinical outcomes including mortality, complications and length of stay (LOS).

Patients with postpolio residual paralysis can develop disabling hip arthritis in paralytic as well as a nonparalytic limb, warranting total hip arthroplasty (THA). Limited literature is available on the results of THA among these patients in the form of small series or case reports. We have undertaken a systematic review to evaluate the clinical outcome of THA in patients with poliomyelitis with hip pathologies.
