Compared with enoxaparin, aspirin use resulted in higher rates of symptomatic venous thromboembolism within 90 days following total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty, according to published results.

Results presented at the Musculoskeletal Infection Society Annual Meeting showed synovial biomarkers did not demonstrate high prognostic utility for predicting failure following reimplantation.

Two-stage septic revision knee arthroplasty (TKA) often results in inferior functional outcome after reimplantation, which might be due to impairments of the extensor mechanism. The aim of the current study was to elucidate possible alterations in extensor mechanisms during septic two-stage revision...

An extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is a powerful tool for femoral component revision. There is limited evidence that directly supports its use in the setting of a prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Cerclage fixation raises the theoretical concern for persistent infection.

This study demonstrates that symptomatic low back pain (LBP) resolves in 82% of patients after THA. The results of this study may be used to counsel patients on back pain and its resolution following total hip replacement.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) following less invasive hip-preserving procedures (LIHPs) and present a critical overview of the literature to aid in better result interpretation.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the gold standard for treating hip dysplasia in patients with preserved articular cartilage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the financial relationship between facility and professional revenue for patients undergoing PAO for hip dysplasia and acetabular versio...
