Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 1,222 patient cases undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) to determine how specific medical conditions affect hospital costs, revealing a median total cost of $30,580 for the procedure.
- - Key findings show that higher body mass index (BMI > 35), advanced American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores, and conditions like diabetes, congestive heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease significantly increase hospital costs associated with THA.
- - The research concludes that patients with BMI > 35, peripheral vascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, renal disease, and higher ASA scores incur greater inpatient costs during THA, mainly due to increased hospital room, board, and operating
Article Synopsis
- Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is commonly used for treating neck and arm pain caused by cervical degenerative disease, but there is limited data on outcomes for three- and four-level surgeries.
- A study analyzed 46 patients who underwent these procedures, finding significant improvements in pain and disability scores after two years, although many still sought revision surgery.
- The revision rate within two years was 35%, with most patients needing additional surgery due to non-union of the spine.
In this case series, we describe an infection treatment protocol involving permanent implantation of antibiotic cement that is effective in eradicating deep infection. Surgical site infection (SSI) is a devastating complication of spine surgery. Unlike the gold-standard two-stage revision in North American hip and knee arthroplasty, there exists no standardized, accepted protocol for the management of deep SSI with instrumentation.
