Article Synopsis
- Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a common condition that occurs after deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs, but its reported incidence varies widely due to inconsistent diagnostic criteria.
- The review developed four standardized diagnostic criteria for PTS to refine its incidence and severity reporting: proven thrombotic event, minimum 24-month follow-up, validated assessment score, and evidence of worsening venous insufficiency.
- After analyzing 33 studies, the review found that the incidence of mild to moderate PTS was 7-36%, consolidating to 23-36% when using the Villalta scale, with severity plateauing at 24 months post-DVT.
Background: Addressing bone loss and securing implant fixation can be challenging in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present the results of a large series of revision TKAs using a metaphyseal sleeve.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 319 revision TKAs with the use of a metaphyseal sleeve that had been followed up for at least 2 years, using a prospectively collected database.
Aims: To determine the temporal changes in patient dissatisfaction following primary knee arthroplasty surgery (TKA).
Patients And Methods: Three hundred and ninety patients that had previously indicated they were either dissatisfied or unsure with their TKA at one-year post-surgery in our region were mailed a simple questionnaire in addition to the Oxford Knee Score and EQ-5D.
Results: A 55% response rate was achieved.
Background: The Akin closing wedge osteotomy for correction of hallux valgus interphalangeus has experienced a resurgence in popularity. Commonly, the size of the osteotomy is visually judged intraoperatively. We present a means of performing the osteotomy more objectively.
