Diagnostic criteria of malnutrition phenotypes have been recently updated. Uncovering the prevalence of these conditions in patients undergoing hip replacement may be crucial in order to apply the most appropriate diagnostic-therapeutic paths to the right patient at the right time. Sixty patients aged between 60 and 85 undergoing elective hip replacement were recruited.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing THA at Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio between 2016 and 2022 was conducted. Inclusion criteria encompassed Kellgren-Lawrence grade III or IV HOA, with preoperative and 12-month postoperative PROMs.
Article Synopsis
- Diet quality and quantity are essential for older adults' musculoskeletal health, especially before hip surgery, with recommended intakes of 1.2-1.5 g of protein and 27-30 kcal per kg of body weight daily.
- A study of 57 older adults revealed that 90% did not meet the suggested dietary guidelines, with only 10% adhering to a Mediterranean diet, suggesting significant room for improvement.
- Findings indicate that higher legume and olive oil consumption correlates with better health outcomes, and meat intake impacts walking ability and mobility, highlighting the need for more focused dietary interventions in older patients before surgery.*
Background: Kinematic alignment (KA) restores native limb alignment following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The association of this technique with a medial pivot implant design attempts to re-establish the physiological kinematics of the knee. This study aims to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing MP-TKA with kinematic alignment and to assess the effect of limb alignment on the clinical outcomes.

Kinematic alignment (KA) is an innovative surgical technique that aims to co-align the rotational axes of the femoral, tibial, and patella components with the three kinematic axes of the knee. This study aims to evaluate and analyze short-term clinical, psychological, and functional outcomes in patients undergoing total knee replacement with the KA technique.
