Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Elie S Ghanem"
- Elie S Ghanem's recent research primarily focuses on improving surgical outcomes in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and understanding factors influencing patient care, including bacterial infections, racial disparities, and liver disease impacts on surgery.
- Key findings highlight that nonmetallic cerclage materials are less resistant to MRSA bacterial adhesion, while racial disparities in treatment and outcomes were found in patients with Hepatitis C undergoing elective TJA, revealing areas for improvement in clinical practice.
- Additionally, Ghanem's work emphasizes the potential of isothermal microcalorimetry for quick and accurate detection of periprosthetic joint infections, as well as the association of specific acetabular fracture patterns with higher risks of postoperative complications, aiding in better surgical decision-making.
