Incidence of and Risk Factors for Lateral Trochanteric Pain After Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Lateral trochanteric pain (LTP) is a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The goals of this study were to report the incidence of LTP after direct anterior approach (DAA) THA, describe the treatment course and outcomes, and examine patient-specific and implant-related potential risk factors. A retrospective review identified patients who underwent primary DAA THA with at least 1-year follow-up.

Novel Method for Reduction of Distal Radius Fractures.

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures seen in orthopaedics. These fractures may be treated surgically or conservatively depending on patient-related and radiographic factors. Displaced fractures should be reduced in the acute setting to better align the fracture fragments and a splint applied to hold the fracture in this position.

A Rare Case of Periprosthetic Joint Infection Caused by a Periodontal Pathogen, Slackia exigua: A Case Report.

Case: A 72-year-old woman with a history of right total hip arthroplasty and subsequent revision 18 years ago developed right hip periprosthetic joint infection with significant bone destruction caused by Slackia exigua. She underwent a dental cavity filling without prophylactic antibiotics before presentation that may have contributed to development of the infection. The patient required total hip revision and prolonged antibiotic therapy to eradicate the bacteria.

Comparison Between the Attune and PFC Sigma in Total Knee Arthroplasty: No Difference in Patellar Clunk and Crepitus or Anterior Knee Pain.

Patellar crepitus and clunk (PCC) is a known complication in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the cause of dissatisfaction. Patellofemoral articulations have reportedly been optimized in newer TKAs. This study compared the incidence of PCC between a historical and modern TKA design.

Discovery of thoracic osteoma after elective lumbar spinal surgery: a case report.

Osteoma is a benign, bone-producing tumor typically found within the skull. Rare case reports have been identified within the spine, and even fewer have been identified in the thoracolumbar region. When present, these benign tumors usually present during the second and third decade of life.

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens and external iliac vein disruption after revision total hip arthroplasty.

We present a unique case of phlegmasia cerulea dolens and compartment syndrome secondary to external iliac vein disruption after revision total hip arthroplasty. To our knowledge, this complication has not yet been described following revision total hip arthroplasty. We conclude that although vascular complications are fortunately rare after hip arthroplasty, they can have significant morbidity and mortality.

An Evaluation of Postoperative Complications and Cost After Short-Stay Thyroid Operations.

Background: Concern for postoperative complications causing airway compromise has limited widespread acceptance of ambulatory thyroid surgery. We evaluated differences in outcomes and hospital costs in those monitored for a short stay of 6 h (SS), inpatient observation of 6-23 h (IO), or inpatient admission of >23 h (IA).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing thyroidectomy from 2006 to 2012.
