Background: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with poorer functional outcomes and increased complication rates after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Yet, there is no longer term study evaluating vitamin D levels and supplementation after TKA. Our study aimed to compare quantitative vitamin D levels and supplementation regimens after TKA stratified by patient sex and race.

This is a feasibility study evaluating the usability of 3D-printed sutures in the repair of a laceration wound when compared with standard suture material. The 3D-printed suture material was manufactured using a fused deposition modelling 3D printer and nylon 3D printing filament.

Freeze-dried plasma (FDP), which contains coagulation factors, is a promising adjunct in hemostatic resuscitation. We explore the association between FDP alone or in combination with other blood products on 24-h mortality.

- - In a study examining the impact of race on periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in the U.S., it was found that NH Black individuals had a significantly higher incidence of PJI (3.1%) compared to NH White individuals (1.6%).
- - Researchers used clinical data from a large hospital system and analyzed 10,018 TJA cases, considering factors like age, sex, and comorbidities as measured by the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI).
- - The analysis showed that comorbidities accounted for 26% of the racial difference in PJI incidence, suggesting that improving access to quality treatments
Background: Racial and other demographic predictors of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) telehealth engagement since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic remain unclear. The purpose of the current study was to elucidate this relationship.
Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study on 732 primary TJA patients was conducted within a single hospital system from March 2020-December 2021 (during the pandemic).
