Comparison of Outcomes Between Modular Dual Mobility and Conventional Hip Implants in Primary, Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty
Modular dual mobility designs (MDM) are designed to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocations following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated both the usage and outcomes (ie, patient-reported outcomes and complications) associated with MDM hips compared with conventional implant designs.
In-Hospital Exposure and Opioids Prescribed After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Opioids are frequently used intraoperatively and during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) care in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases and are commonly prescribed after surgery despite known adverse effects. This study examined whether in-hospital opioid exposure is related to postoperative opioid prescribing in opioid-naïve TKA patients.
What to know about knee stiffness
A stiff knee is a common complaint, especially among older adults and those who are very physically active. Knee stiffness can occur due to low flexibility or muscular imbalances in the legs, injury, or arthritis. The most suitable treatment for knee stiffness depends on the underlying cause.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.
