BACKGROUND Both surgeon and hospital procedure volumes have been found to be associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes. However, little research has been conducted on the relative influence. We studied the association between THA survivorship and both hospital and surgeon procedure volumes, considering their relative impact. METHODS A population-based cohort included all patients ...

PURPOSE Periprosthetic infection is one of the main reasons for revision surgery after hip arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study is to compare the reliability of triple-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infection between cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). METHODS In this retrospective study, 52 patients were ana...

Perioperative blood management remains a challenge during total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to systematically examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and perioperative blood transfusion during THA and TKA while attempting to resolve conflicting results in previously published studies. The authors retrospectively evaluate...

The activity demands of young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have not been clearly defined. University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Short Form-12 version 2 (SF-12v2), and Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) questionnaires were administered to 70 young patients who had undergone THA (young THA group; ie,...

Intraoperative fracture rates in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been associated with uncemented stems, anterolateral surgical approach, diagnoses other than osteoarthritis, and female gender. The purpose of this study was to investigate if changes in stem design would influence intraoperative fracture rates. 1497 THA with Bi-Metric stems were compared to 1277 THA with Echo Bi-Metric Full Pro...

Concerns about the effects of global warming on crop yields have been raised due to stagnating yield progress in recent years. However, an understanding changes temperature and rainfall throughout cycle historical is lacking Europe (EU). In this study, positive wheat, barley, rice, maize EU (1961–2019) was significant, with rates 0.05, 0.04, 0.07 Tha?1year?1, for four crops respectively. Much h...

Ochronosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of tyrosine metabolism characterized by multilevel spinal degeneration and arthritis large weight-bearing joints, which referred to as ochronotic arthropathy. In this case report, we describe diagnosis treatment arthropathy in patient who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) knee (TKA). The Harris score was 26 preoperatively 45, 68, 76, 90, 92...

Abstract Background Of late, periarticular analgesic injection (PAI) has become a common alternative treatment for pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the systemic effects of PAI containing corticosteroids in patients subjected to THA have not been investigated. This study evaluated efficacy and corticosteroid THA. Methods single-center, retrospective cohort enrolled undergoin...

The utilization of autologous and allogeneic transfusions in total joint arthroplasties was to characterize patients who may benefit from giving preoperative blood donations. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 525 patients to document preoperative hematocrit, estimated blood loss, length of stay, transfusions, and medical comorbidities. Results of our review showed that total hip arth...
