The impact of crohn's disease on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
September 2024
Background: The knee joint remains the most affected joint in extra-intestinal manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD). Given the increasing prevalence of CD and overall demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it is likely that an increasing number of patients with CD will require TKA. The purpose of this study was to assess the inpatient postoperative complication in patients with CD undergoing TKA.

We hypothesized that poor diabetic control might be associated with a high rate of major lower extremity amputations (mLEAs; above the ankle).
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis at Hospital Nacional de San Benito between (8/14 and 6/23) in patients presenting with DFIs.
Introduction The inpatient postoperative outcomes of patients with colostomies following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have not been well studied in the literature. The purpose of this study was to analyze how colostomy impacts the immediate postoperative outcomes of TKA. Our null hypothesis is that after correcting for common variables, a colostomy does not predispose patients undergoing TKA to surgical site infections (SSIs) and periprosthetic infections.

- Well-differentiated liposarcoma in the paratesticular region is rare, often mistaken for common issues like inguinal hernia, and lacks standardized diagnostic and treatment protocols.* -
- A case study involved a 65-year-old man diagnosed with liposarcoma after surgery for what was thought to be a recurrent hernia; he chose to wait for treatment rather than undergo immediate surgery.* -
- Clinicians should be vigilant about this uncommon cancer, particularly in cases of suspected early hernia recurrence, as appropriate treatment typically involves surgery and potentially radiation.*
Advanced footwear technology featuring stack heights higher than 30 mm has been proven to improve running economy in elite and recreational runners. While it is understood that the physiological benefit is highly individual, the individual biomechanical response to different stack heights remains unclear. Thirty-one runners performed running trials with three different shoe conditions of 25 mm, 35 mm, and 45 mm stack height on an outdoor running course wearing a STRYD sensor.
