Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients undergoing surgery for cancer-related bone fractures while receiving different anticoagulants: enoxaparin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or aspirin (ASA).
- Analysis was conducted using patient data from the Premier Healthcare Database between 2015 and 2021, comparing VTE occurrences among the different medication cohorts, with enoxaparin as the control.
- Results indicated that enoxaparin was associated with lower VTE rates compared to apixaban but higher than those treated with ASA, suggesting that ASA may be a safer option for certain patients with minimal risk factors for VTE post-surgery.
Background And Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative complications associated with administering intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients undergoing surgical fixation for neoplastic pathologic fractures of the lower extremities.
Methods: Patients ≥18 years old who underwent surgical intervention for neoplastic pathologic lower extremity fractures from 2015 to 2021 were identified using the Premier Healthcare Database. This cohort was divided by TXA receipt on the index surgery day.
It has been well documented in the arthroplasty literature that lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) contributes to abnormal spinopelvic motion. However, the relationship between the severity or pattern of hip osteoarthritis (OA) as measured on an anteroposterior (AP) pelvic view and spinopelvic biomechanics has not been well investigated. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the association between the severity and pattern of hip OA and spinopelvic motion.

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of duloxetine in reducing pain and postoperative opioid use following lower extremity total joint arthroplasty.
Methods: A literature search was performed, identifying randomized controlled trials investigating duloxetine for pain management after total hip and total knee arthroplasty.
