Outcomes of total hip arthroplasty in haemodialysis and renal transplant patients: systematic review.

Background: Chronic renal failure is increasing in prevalence and reported to have deleterious effects on the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Aim: To investigate the clinical and functional outcomes of THA in patients receiving haemodialysis or who have previously undergone renal transplantation.

Methods: Systematic review of the literature using bibliographic databases up to July 2018 to determine the functional outcome, complications and revision rates of THA in patients receiving haemodialysis for end-stage renal failure and those with a previous renal transplant.

Tibial fixation without screws in cementless knee arthroplasty.

This study reexamines the clinical and radiologic results of the first 216 cases of a cementless fixed-bearing tibial tray without screw holes in 191 patients at 7.6-year follow-up (range, 5-10 years). Mean Hospital for Special Surgery scores improved from 54/100 preoperatively to 84/100 postoperatively.
