To investigate the related factors for unexpected positive intraoperative cultures (UPC) in patients undergoing aseptic hip revision and the long-term prosthesis survival rate in such patients. A retrospective cases series analysis was conducted in 397 patients who underwent aseptic hip revision surgery at the Department of Orthopaedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2012 to December 2021, including 225 females and 172 males with an age ((IQR)) of 58(23) years (range:21 to 89 years) and a body mass index (BMI) of 25(6) kg/m (range:15 to 39 kg/m). Based on the culture results of intraoperative specimens, patients were divided into culture-positive group (32 cases) and culture-negative group (365 cases).

Purpose: The polarization of macrophages towards the pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype and osteoclast overactivation play a significant role in the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants. This study sought to examine the expression and activation of macrophages and osteoclasts in implant biopsies with respect to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and to assess the potential of EGFR inhibition in mitigating titanium particle-induced bone resorption in a cranial resorption murine model.

Methods: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) initially.

To investigate the clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) combined with the modified "overlap" technique in the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis with fixed patellar dislocation. This is a retrospective case series study. Clinical data of 19 patients (22 knees) who underwent TKA combined with the modified "overlap" technique for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis with permanent patellar dislocation from January 2011 to January 2022 in the Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: To investigate the medium- and long-term effectiveness of hip revision with SL-PLUS MIA stem in patients with Paprosky typeⅠ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect.

Methods: Between June 2012 and December 2018, 44 patients with Paprosky typeⅠ-Ⅲ femoral bone defect received hip revision using SL-PLUS MIA stem. There were 28 males and 16 females, with an average age of 57.

Background: The use of long stems for severe femoral bone defects is suggested by many scholars, but it is associated with further bone loss, intraoperative fracture, increased surgical trauma, and complications. With better bone retention, simple and quick surgical procedures, and minimal complications, the short cementless stems with a tapered rectangular shape may be an alternative for femoral revision. This study aimed to evaluate the results of this type of stem in treating selected Paprosky II-IV bone defects.

Gram-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been poorly studied despite its rapidly increasing incidence. Treatment with one-stage revision using intra-articular (IA) infusion of antibiotics may offer a reasonable alternative with a distinct advantage of providing a means of delivering the drug in high concentrations. Carbapenems are regarded as the last line of defense against severe Gram-negative or polymicrobial infection.

Objective: Morphine plays an important role in postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there are limited data that investigate the administration ways of morphine. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding morphine to periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) combined with single-dose epidural morphine for the patients undergoing TKA.

Background: The treatment of polymicrobial periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) confronted distinct challenges. No reports have assessed the efficacy of local antibiotic delivery combined with 1-stage exchange in polymicrobial PJI.

Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2018, we retrospectively analyzed the data of 126 patients, including 19 polymicrobial PJIs and 107 monomicrobial PJIs, who underwent single-stage revision using intra-articular antibiotic infusion.

Objective: To estimate the midterm outcome of primary total knee arthroplasty for severe valgus deformity using selective release of tight lateral structures and the least-constrained implant.

Methods: We performed total knee arthroplasty on 65 consecutive type II knees with valgus deformity> 20°. Surgery was done via a medial parapatellar approach.

To investigate the diagnose value of D-dimer for chronic periprosthetic infection (PJI) after hip and knee arthroplasty. A retrospective analyze was conducted on 168 patients underwent revision arthroplasty and primary arthroplasty at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from November 2017 to December 2018.There were 58 males and 110 females, aged(58.

Objective: A background of Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) indicates a progressive elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to overfilling, elevation of venous pressure, congestion in various organs, and edema in the venous system. This study aimed to investigate whether PH is a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities after hip and knee replacement surgery.

Methods: A total of 238 patients who received joint replacement of lower extremities in our department of orthopedics from January 2009 to January 2012 were examined by echocardiography and Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) of the lower extremities.
