Patient Language Does Not Impact Need for Manipulation Following Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Socioeconomic factors have been associated with an increased need for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of MUA and range of motion (ROM) following primary TKA in English and non-English-speaking patients. The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of all primary TKAs performed at their institution between 2010 and 2017.

Failure Following Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty After Cobalt-Chrome Femoral Heads are Placed on a Retained Femoral Stem.

Background: Failure due to trunnionosis with adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) has been reported with cobalt-chrome (CoCr) heads in total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, there are limited data on the use of these heads in the revision setting. The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of patients who underwent revision THA with a retained femoral component and received a CoCr femoral head on a used trunnion.

Methods: In this retrospective review, we identified all patients who underwent revision THA with a retained femoral component and received a CoCr femoral head between February 2006 and March 2014.

Prognostic Value of the Radiologic Appearance of the Navicular Ossification Center in Congenital Talipes Equinovarus.

The tarsal navicular is at the center of the disease process and exhibits abnormal development and delayed ossification. However, its role in the pathologic process is not clear.
