Assessment of spinopelvic relationship among Turkish orthopedic surgeons in total joint replacement: a survey.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the preferences of orthopedics and traumatology specialists in evaluating the spinopelvic relationship in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Türkiye.

Methods: Members of the Turkish Orthopedics and Traumatology Association (n=2485) were invited to fill out the questionnaire. The survey was created using Google Forms and distributed to participants via WhatsApp and Gmail by sharing the link.

Evidence-based Approach for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is regarded as a critical factor contributing to the failure of primary and revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA). With the increasing prevalence of TJA, a significant increase in the incidence of PJI is expected. The escalating number of cases, along with the significant economic strain imposed on healthcare systems, place emphasis on the pressing need for development of effective strategies for prevention.

Aspirin is an Effective Prophylaxis for Venous Thromboembolism After Revision Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) following revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA) poses significant risks despite prophylactic measures. The optimal VTE prophylaxis agent for revision TJA remains unclear. This study aimed to compare aspirin against various anticoagulant agents regarding efficacy and safety in preventing symptomatic VTE events after revision TJA.

Diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection: The Utility of Biomarkers in 2023.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare yet devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Early and accurate diagnosis of PJI is paramount in order to maximize the chances of successful treatment. However, we are yet to identify a single "gold standard" test for the diagnosis of PJI.
