Objective: To determine whether concussed female athletes with a previous history of concussion have longer postconcussive recovery than that of male counterparts.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Outpatient sports medicine clinic in an academic practice.
Background: The purposes of this study were to (1) test the accuracy of α-defensin and combined α-defensin-aspiration cultures in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) before revision total knee and hip arthroplasty and (2) evaluate Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria and α-defensin as predictors of successful reimplantation (second-stage) at 1 year after surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a total of 97 synovial fluid aspirations performed between August 2014 and September 2016 before revision due to septic or aseptic failures (n = 70) or before second-stage (n = 27) joint arthroplasty. Revisions were categorized as either septic or aseptic according to the MSIS criteria.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be associated with significant pain which can negatively impact outcomes. Multiple strategies have been employed to reduce pain. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 different pain management modalities after TKA that included (1) our standardized knee injection cocktail and oral acetaminophen, (2) liposomal bupivacaine periarticular injection and oral acetaminophen, and (3) our standardized knee injection cocktail and intravenous (IV) acetaminophen.
