Complications in the treatment of prosthetic joint infection.

Aims: Two-stage exchange arthroplasty is the most common definitive treatment for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the USA. Complications that occur during treatment are often not considered. The purpose of this study was to analyze complications in patients undergoing two-stage exchange for infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and determine when they occur.

Incidence of perioperative events in single setting bilateral direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.

The peri-operative complication rates of a single setting bilateral direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) are not well known. All single setting (90) bilateral DAA THA patients were reviewed. Blood loss was 632 mL for single setting bilateral DAA procedures.
