To research the influence of season of the year on periprosthetic joint infections. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of the entire Medicare files from 2005 to 2014. Seasons were classified as spring, summer, fall or winter. Regional variations were accounted for by dividing patients into four geographic regions as per the United States Census Bureau (Northeast, Midwest, West and South). Acute postoperative infection and deep periprosthetic infections within 90 d after surgery were tracked. RESULTS In all regions, winter had the highest incidence of periprosthetic infections (mean 0.98%, SD 0.1%) and was significantly higher than other seasons in the …

Introduction: Previously, external hemipelvectomy was the mainstay of treatment for pelvic tumors. However, with technological advancements, limb salvage procedures such as internal hemipelvectomy have emerged as a viable alternative. However, there is limited literature available on long-term outcomes and complications of internal hemipelvectomy, especially from developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to share our experience of internal hemipelvectomy at a tertiary care center in a developing country. Materials and methods: A retrospective review was conducted in which all 24 patients undergoing internal hemipelvectomy from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2015 at our institution were included. Medical …
Total Ankle Replacement, Then And Now: A Review, Katherine J. Gavin
Total Ankle Replacement, Then And Now: A Review, Katherine J. Gavin
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Total ankle replacement (TAR) for treating end-stage osteoarthritis of the ankle joint has been evolving since the early 1960s. Increased understanding of the biomechanics and kinematics of the foot and ankle, postoperative results of implant use, and advances in technology have led to improved implant designs and treatment outcomes. The current study reviews associated historical perspectives, kinematics, biomechanics, patient selection, imaging procedures, modern surgical techniques, postoperative complications, and comparison studies with arthrodesis to help evaluate TAR in successfully treating osteoarthritis of the ankle joint. Although arthrodesis remains the gold standard for treatment, findings of new studies have suggested that TAR …

Factors Affecting The Outcomes In Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report, Laura K. Parry

The purpose of this case study was to determine the effects of femoral nerve block use during total knee arthroplasty on the return of quadriceps activation and functional outcomes in a single patient. This case study focused on an individual case consisting of simultaneous bilateral knee replacement. The individual received a femoral nerve block in one knee and traditional anesthesia in the other. We considered the improvement in functional outcomes following surgery. It was expected that the femoral nerve block will delay the activation of the quadriceps muscle and the return of functional measures. However, the femoral nerve block will …
