Hip Arthroscopy is Associated With Increased Risk of Total Hip Arthroplasty Failure and Increased Resource Allocation in Middle-Aged Total Hip Arthroplasty Patients
Hip arthroscopy (HA) rates continue to increase. Many HA patients will eventually develop osteoarthritis necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Presently, there is limited, conflicting literature on the correlation between preceding HA and subsequent THA outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of prior HA on subsequent THA revision rates and their resource allocation in middle-aged THA patients (40 to 65 years old).
Is Knee Osteoarthritis an Inevitable Consequence for Athletes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury?
Behind the technical success of modern ACL surgeries and the effectiveness of “return to sport” protocols lies a reality that the worlds of sports and medicine are only just starting to face: the management of the initial ACL injury with return to sport is not the finish line, but the beginning of a lifelong journey on a different road.
Calcium Crystals in Knee Could Be Worsening Arthritis
Once considered harmless by doctors, calcium crystal deposits in the knee joint actually can contribute to worsening arthritis, a new study warns.
Will Your Knee Replacement Need a Second Surgery?
Increasingly, knee replacement surgeries are requiring follow-up operations when post-op complications arise. Now, new research from the University of Texas Southwestern is illuminating whether you might fall into a high-risk category for these second surgeries.
Infection Risk No Higher for Total Hip Arthroplasty With Robotics, Navigation
Use of computer navigation (CN) or robotic assistance (RA) is not associated with an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) within 90 days after total hip arthroplasty (THA), according to a study published online Feb. 7 in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
