Dual-mobility versus Fixed-bearing in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: Outcome Comparison.

Purpose: Use of dual mobility (DM) articulations can reduce the risk of instability in both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Knowledge regarding the impact of this design on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is limited. This study aims to compare clinical outcomes between DM and fixed bearing (FB) prostheses following primary THA.

Black and Hispanic Patients Do Not Stay Longer After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: Results From an Urban Center Serving a Predominantly Minority Cohort.

Introduction: Previous reports identified minority race/ethnicity to be an independent risk factor for prolonged length of stay (LOS); however, these cohorts consisted of predominantly White patients. This study sought to evaluate minority status as an independent risk factor for prolonged LOS after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a predominantly Hispanic and Black cohort.

Methods: This was a retrospective study using an institutional database of patients who underwent primary TKA between the years 2016 and 2019.

Salvage of a recalcitrant humeral shaft septic nonunion using a linked nail-plate fixation construct with intercalary allograft.

Open humeral shaft fractures comprise approximately 2% of all fractures of the humerus. Nearly 20% of open humeral shaft fractures will develop deep infection, increasing the risk of nonunion regardless of treatment method. Recalcitrant septic nonunion of the humeral shaft is a complex and challenging problem.

The "Double Washer" Technique Is an Effective Strategy for Bicortical Fixation in Periprosthetic Fractures About a Femoral Stem: A Technical Trick and Case Series.

Periprosthetic fractures about the hip and knee are challenging injuries to treat for the orthopaedic surgeon. The pre-existing femoral implant and poor bone quality provide for difficulties in achieving stable fixation. We present a surgical technique and clinical series of 5 patients describing the use and outcomes of a 3.

A Case of Titanium Pseudotumor and Systemic Toxicity After Total Hip Arthroplasty Polyethylene Failure.

We describe the case of a 57-year-old female who underwent bilateral ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties performed in 2015. She presented to us in 2018 with headaches, fatigue, and right hip pain 5 months after an atraumatic right polyethylene liner failure for which she did not seek treatment. She was found to have imaging consistent with an adverse local tissue reaction and massive pseudotumor formation.

Early Experience Managing a High-volume Academic Orthopaedic Department During the Coronavirus Pandemic in New York City.

Our orthopaedic surgery department at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine is located within the Bronx, a borough of New York City, and serves a densely populated urban community. Since the beginning of the novel coronavirus outbreak in New York City, the medical center was forced to rapidly adapt to the projected influx of critically ill patients. The aim of this report is to outline how our large academic orthopaedic surgery department adopted changes and alternative practices in response to the most daunting challenge to public health in our region in over a century.
