BACKGROUND There have been few studies that have evaluated ambulatory total shoulder arthroplasty. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the current trends in ambulatory total shoulder arthroplasty in the United States; to characterize the rate of postoperative complications, hospital readmission, and risk factors associated with readmission; and to conduct a cost analysis com...

Clinical Question : Is there a relationship between resilience and self-reported function in patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty? Bottom Line There is inconsistent, good-quality Level II evidence that investigates the after arthroplasty.

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the well-recognized outcome measure instruments (Medical Outcome Study Short Form-SF-36, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index-WOMAC, McMaster Toronto Arthritis Patient Preference Disability Questionnaire-MACTAR) for patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty in Iran, with its cultural and ethnic differences and com...

Background: The projected increase in revision shoulder arthroplasty has increased interest in the outcomes of theseprocedures. Glenoid component removal and conversion to a hemiarthroplasty (HA) is an option for aseptic glenoidloosening after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA).Methods: We identified patients who had undergone revision shoulder arthroplasty over a 15-...

background:  conventional treatments after complicated injuries of the distal radioulnar joint (druj) such as darrach and kapandji-sauvé procedures have many drawbacks, which may eventually lead to a painful unstable distal ulna.  the development of druj prosthesis has significantly evolved over the past years. in this study, we assessed the outcome results of patients after druj implant arthro...

BACKGROUND Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is a less-invasive alternative to total knee arthroplasty for patients with arthritis affecting only the medial or lateral compartment. However, little is known about recent trends in the use of these procedures and the associated outcomes among older patients. METHODS With use of a nationally representative 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries who...
