Perioperative Femur Fractures in muscle sparing anterolateral - Modified Watson-Jones approach to primary total hip arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Periprosthetic femur fractures (PFF) are a rare early complication in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) that may result in revision and burden the healthcare system. A previous study identified a PFF rate of 8.3 % at 90 days with the modified anterolateral Watson-Jones (AL) approach to THA.

Are Proud Tibial Cone Constructs an Effective Alternative to Those That are Fully Seated in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty?

Background: This study compared the clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes between patients treated with the traditional fully seated tibial cone construct and those with the novel proud tibial cone construct in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA).

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 56 adult patients who had a minimum 2-year follow-up and underwent rTKA with either the fully seated (n = 18 knees) or proud (n = 42 knees) tibial cone construct between 2010 and 2020. The electronic medical record was reviewed for demographic, clinical, and radiographic data.

Extensor Mechanism Centralization Using Autograft Hamstring for Laterally Dislocating Patella.

Patellofemoral complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are some of the most commonly cited complications in the literature, accounting for up to 50% of secondary procedures in the literature. Lateral dislocation of the patella, while rare, is one of many causes of extensor mechanism dysfunction. We sought to evaluate a novel patellar centralization procedure by comparing patients' pre- and postoperative clinical and radiographic data.

Superficial Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm After Intra-articular Adductor Canal Pain Catheter Placement for Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Vascular injury following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare complication. The authors present a case of superficial femoral artery aneurysm in a 60-year-old man following elective TKA in the setting of intra-articular On-Q* (Avanos Medical) pain catheter placement into the adductor canal for postoperative pain control. This is the second reported case of pseudoaneurysm secondary to adductor canal block.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, tooth erosion, and prosthodontic rehabilitation: a clinical report.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a relatively common gastrointestinal disorder in the United States. The reflux of acid adversely affects the mucosal lining of the esophagus and is responsible for dental erosion. This article briefly reviews the etiology, risk factors, and medical management of GERD.
