Same Day Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Performed at Canada's First Academic Ambulatory Surgical Center Is Safe and Effective: Population Level Results.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are being increasingly performed as an outpatient procedure. Performing these procedures at an ambulatory surgical center (ASC) has been proposed as a way to create greater access to surgical care, improve efficiency, and contain costs. The purpose of this review was to analyze the introduction of a same-day THA and TKA program at Canada's first academic ASC.

Intraoperative Periprosthetic Fractures in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 1.6-Million-Patient Analysis of Complications, Costs, and the Challenges in AI-Based Prediction.

Periprosthetic fractures following total hip arthroplasty are serious complications occurring in up to 2.4% of primary cases, contributing to significant morbidity, extended hospital stays, and elevated healthcare costs. Predicting these fractures remains a challenge despite advances in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials.

Acetabular Augments Used in Revision Hip Arthroplasty: Minimum 10-year Follow-Up of Implant Survivorships, Functional Scores, and Radiographic Outcomes.

Background: Acetabular bone loss is a major challenge in the setting of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Porous tantalum augments have emerged as a viable solution to acetabular bone loss in revision THA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survivorship, clinical, and radiological outcomes of these implants.

Cup-Cage Construct for Treatment of Severe Acetabular Bone Loss in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes at a Mean Follow-Up of 7.7 Years.

Background: Acetabular reconstruction in the context of massive acetabular bone loss is challenging. Achieving implant stability in these situations requires special considerations. The cup-cage construct is a treatment option that addresses this issue.

Outcomes of Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation for Femoral Head Cartilage Lesions: Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up.

Background: The surgical management of large osteochondral lesions of the femoral head in young, active patients remains controversial. Fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation can be a highly effective treatment for these lesions in some patients. This study investigated survivorship as well as clinical and radiographic outcomes after fresh OCA transplantation at a minimum 2-year follow-up (mean, 6.
