The estimated prevalence of osteoporosis in Bahrain: a multi-centered-based study.

Objectives: the primary aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and risk factors of low bone mineral density in Bahrain.

Methods: this was a retrospective study, which targeted a cohort of 4822 Bahraini subjects (mean age 59.36 years: 93% females).

Impact of Intra-Articular Local Anesthesia Infiltration versus Femoral Nerve Block for Postoperative Pain Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Postoperative pain relief after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be attained by using several techniques such as intravenous analgesia, epidural analgesia, and peripheral nerve blocks that include femoral nerve and saphenous nerve. Several authors recommended intra-articular injection of local anesthetic (IALA) as a part of multimodal analgesia regimens for TKA instead of other techniques.

Aims: The present study compares IALA technique efficacy with single-shot femoral nerve block (FNB) as part of multimodal analgesia regimen in TKA patients for postoperative pain management.

Comparison between Local Infiltration Analgesia and Ultrasound Guided Single Shot Adductor Canal Block Post Total Knee Replacement Surgery - A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Context: Good quality analgesia posttotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) contributes majorly to early mobilization and shorter hospital stay.

Aim: To compare adductor canal block (ACB) versus local infiltration analgesia (LIA) for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing TKA.

Settings And Design: This prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial was undertaken at a tertiary care university hospital.

Coupling failure between stem and femoral component in a constrained revision total knee arthroplasty.

Knee revision using constrained implants is associated with greater stresses on the implant and interface surfaces. The present report describes a case of failure of the screw coupling between the stem and the femoral component. The cause of the failure is surmised with outline of the treatment in this case with extensive femoral bone loss.
