Mashup Score: 2Early Discharge for Revision Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty: Predictors of Success - 4 month(s) ago
The rate of revision total joint arthroplasties is expected to increase drastically in the near future. Given the recent pandemic, there has been a general push toward early discharge. This study aimed to assess for predictors of early postoperative discharge after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA).

Mashup Score: 66Obesity is Associated With Greater Improvement in Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty - 4 month(s) ago
Body mass index (BMI) cutoffs have been established for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients due to increased risk of medical complications in obese patients. However, evidence-based medical optimization may mitigate risk in these patients. This study examined the influence of BMI on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following primary TKA with specialized perioperative optimization.

Mashup Score: 168
Implantation of acetabular components with supplemental screw fixation is commonly performed to improve osteointegration and long-term stability in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Placement of ischial screws improves stability in biomechanical studies, but can be technically challenging. The study aimed to provide a safe zone for ischial screw placement with reference to easily identifiable intra-operative landmarks.

Mashup Score: 28
The impact of morbid obesity (MO) on outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when performed by high-volume (HV) surgeons has not been investigated. This study aimed to assess complication rates and implant survivorship in MO patients operated on by HV surgeons.

Mashup Score: 15Medical Weight Optimization for Arthroplasty Patients: A Primer of Emerging Therapies for the Joint Arthroplasty Surgeon - 4 month(s) ago
The obesity epidemic in the United States continues to grow with more than 40% of individuals now classified as obese (body mass index >30). Obesity has been readily demonstrated to increase the risk of developing hip and knee osteoarthritis and is known to increase the risk of complications following joint arthroplasty. Weight loss prior to arthroplasty may mitigate this risk of complications; however, the existing evidence remains mixed with no clear consensus on the optimal method of weight loss and timing prior to arthroplasty.

Mashup Score: 73Combined Anteversion Threshold to Avoid Anterior Dislocation in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed Through the Direct Anterior Approach - 5 month(s) ago
Component malposition in total hip arthroplasty (THA) can lead to dislocation, early implant failure, and revision surgery. As the surgical approach might affect the targeted combined anteversion (CA) of THA components, the present study aimed to evaluate the optimal CA threshold to avoid anterior dislocation in primary THA performed through a direct anterior approach (DAA).

Mashup Score: 23Primary Versus Secondary Total Knee Arthroplasty for Tibial Plateau Fractures in Patients Aged 55 or Over—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - 5 month(s) ago
Total knee arthroplasty allows immediate postoperative weight-bearing and is increasingly recognized as a suitable treatment option for older patients who have tibial plateau fractures (TPFs). This systematic review evaluated the clinical and functional outcomes associated with primary versus secondary TKA for the treatment of TPFs in patients aged ≥55 years.

Mashup Score: 42Does Semaglutide Use Decrease Complications and Costs Following Total Knee Arthroplasty? - 5 month(s) ago
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) complications. Semaglutide, a medication for DM and weight loss, can potentially affect TKA outcomes. This study investigated whether semaglutide use during TKA demonstrates fewer: (1) medical complications; (2) implant-related complications; (3) readmissions; and (4) costs.

Mashup Score: 62Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Associated With Reduced 1-Year Mortality and Surgical Complications After Femoral Neck Fracture - 6 month(s) ago
In some studies, the direct anterior approach (DAA) for elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with decreased dislocation and greater functional gains compared to the posterior approach (PA), as well as higher functional outcomes compared to the direct lateral approach (LA) at 2 weeks postoperatively. Given the paucity of literature on femoral neck fracture (FNF), we aspired to determine the association between the surgical approach used in THA and outcomes.

Several patient and surgical factors preclude early discharge candidacy. For rTHA: mFI-5 of >2/5, CCI >4, or a surgical time of >122min is predictive of prolonged LOS. For rTKA: mFI-5 >2/5, CCI >5, or a surgical time of >63min predicts prolonged LOS. https://t.co/kjjoXtET17 https://t.co/vTj65MrJdq
