Total femur arthroplasty procedures have previously been used after tumor excision and as a last resort for failed revision arthroplasty. The patient in this case presented with massive loss of femoral bone stock, a periprosthetic fracture, and recurrent Staphylococcus epidermidis infection. A specially designed total femoral spacer impregnated with antibiotics was created for a 2-stage revisio...

We described a clinical observation of the use early rehabilitation (Fast-Track protocol ) in two-stage revision hip arthroplasty patient with periprosthetic femoral fracture complicated by development deep paraprosthetic infection .

Adequate operative field space minimises potential complications during revision knee arthroplasty. The colonisation rate of pneumatic re-useable devices reported to be 68-78%, other devices should be considered in the revision knee surgery setting. Sterile single use tourniquets devices (Heamaclear® /S-MARTTM, OHK Medical Devices, Haifa, Israel) have colonisation rates of 0%. This study assess...

Management of an infected shoulder arthroplasty remains challenging. Treatment goals include resolution of the infection, improvement in pain, and restoration of function. Two-stage revision with an antibiotic spacer and subsequent revision has shown variable success in achieving these goals. The practice of using a hemiarthroplasty and coating the stem with antibiotic cement without cementing ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the impact of the reason for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) on the outcomes following revision THA. In this study, our objective was to assess the association of operative diagnosis with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after revision THA. METHODS We used prospectively collected data from the Mayo Clinic Total Joint Registry that collects pre- and post-...
