Delayed Onset Iliopsoas Tendonitis With Intramuscular Hematoma Following Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Iliopsoas tendonitis following total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be challenging to diagnose due to the many causes of postoperative groin pain. This case involves a 66-year-old female with right-sided hip and groin pain and a palpable mass, 3 years post-THA. Initial recovery was unremarkable until the sudden onset of symptoms after exercise.

Cannabis Use in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures: A Moment of Unity?

Background: As legalization of cannabis spreads, an increasing number of patients who use cannabis are being seen in the clinical setting. This study examined the impact of cannabis and tobacco use on postoperative complications following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of distal radius fractures.

Methods: A national, all-payer database was queried to identify patients who underwent ORIF of a distal radius fracture between 2015 and 2020 (n = 970 747).

Robust Randomized Controlled Data Is Lacking in Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Introduction:  Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)are regarded as highest level of scientific evidence. There is belief that while prospective randomized control trials (PRCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating efficacy of interventions, there are very few conducted on lower extremity joint arthroplasty. However, there was a more than adequate amount (=197) of published RCTs in knee arthroplasty during the 2021 calendar year.

CT Scan-Based Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty: What Do Today's Highest-Quality Studies Tell Us?

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) aims to restore function and reduce pain for patients suffering from hip pathologies. However, some procedures require revision THA, with the most common reasons including: mechanical failure, aseptic loosening, infection, and component malposition leading to dislocations. Computed tomography (CT) scan-based, three-dimensional imaging operating techniques can help address some of these issues by helping to provide more optimal implant positioning, which can potentially confer improved outcomes.
