Permissive Weight Bearing in Patients With Surgically Treated Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures Around Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Scoping Review.

Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) around total hip arthroplasty (THA) are one of the leading causes of hip revision. High mortality rates are observed after revision in case of PPFF around THA. To modify risk factors, early postoperative mobilization is necessary.

Impact of enhanced recovery pathways on safety and efficacy of hip and knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Over the past decades, clinical pathways (CPs) for hip and knee arthroplasty have been strongly and continuously evolved based on scientific evidence and innovation.

Aim: The present systematic review, including meta-analysis, aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of enhanced recovery pathways (ERP) with regular pathways for patients with hip and/or knee arthroplasty.

Methods: A literature search in healthcare databases (Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Web of Science) was conducted from inception up to June 2018.
