Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with abnormal proximal femoral anatomy requires an individualized treatment approach to prevent complications. Metaphyseal engaging stems in this population risk fracture, size/offset mismatch, and aseptic loosening. The Wagner conical femoral implant is a short diaphyseal engaging femoral stem that could improve treatment success in this difficult patient population.

Methods: Patients having preaxial polydactyly reconstruction 15 to 60 years ago completed the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Upper Extremity (UE) Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Aggregate scores were compared with those of the general population.
Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has been associated with increased complications following hip and knee arthroplasty. The Purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which SLE is a risk factor in outcomes following total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
Methods: The nationwide inpatient sample was used to identify a cohort of 505,841 patients who had a total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between 2009-2011.
Background: Mental illness is an often overlooked comorbidity in the total joint arthroplasty (TJA) population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of schizophrenia on the outcomes of TJA.
Methods: The nationwide inpatient sample was used to identify a cohort of 505,840 patients having total hip arthroplasty between 2009 and 2012, of which 953 patients (0.
