Current uses of computed tomography-based and imageless navigation systems for total hip arthroplasty include proper placement of the acetabular component, measurement of limb-length changes, enablement of minimally invasive surgery, and proper placement of components for hip resurfacing procedures. This article provides an overview of the rationale for computer-assisted surgery in total hip arthroplasty and hip resurfacing. The experience of the senior author (M.L.S.) with computer-assisted surgery for hip arthroplasty has demonstrated improved position of the acetabular component as compared with the position attainable with use of mechanical instruments, maintenance of appropriate position of the acetabular component during minimally invasive surgery, and appropriate positioning of the femoral and acetabular components during the learning curve for hip resurfacing procedures.

Posterior cruciate ligament resection increases intraoperative lateral and medial flexion laxity during total knee arthroplasty.
Int Orthop
January 2025
University of Lille, 42 rue Paul Duez, 59000, Lille, Nord, France.
Purpose: This study reports the relationship between posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention vs resection and soft tissue laxity and balance throughout flexion using a robotically controlled ligament tensioner.
Methods: 55 robotic-assisted TKAs (Total knee arthroplasty) were retrospectively reviewe. The robotic ligament tensioner collected laxity data both before and after PCL resection.
Effectiveness of intra-articular vancomycin in preventing prosthetic joint infections in hip and knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis of RCT's.
J Orthop
August 2025
Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Clinicas HCFMUSP, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular vancomycin powder in reducing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in primary hip and knee arthroplasty through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A research in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases was performed to identify randomized clinical trials comparing intra-articular vancomycin use to conventional antibiotic prophylaxis in total hip or knee arthroplasty patients, assessing postoperative infection rates, adverse drug reactions, and venous thrombotic events. Statistical analysis was performed using R (RStudio 2024.

August 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital Clínico San Carlos, Spanish National Reference Center for Musculoskeletal Oncological Surgery, Calle Del Prof Martín Lagos, S/N, Moncloa, 28040, Madrid, Spain.
Objectives: To describe the functional outcomes, complications, and reconstruction types in patients with periacetabular metastases and to propose an extension of the Harrington classification.
Methods: Twenty-eight patients (13 males, 15 females) with a mean age of 63.8 ± 15.
Cement-within-cement technique in revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty: complications, reoperations, and revision rates at 5-year mean follow-up.
JSES Rev Rep Tech

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: Revision reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) of a previously cemented humeral component is challenging. In hip arthroplasty, the cement-within-cement (CwC) technique has been well described as an effective option. However, for shoulder arthroplasty there remains a paucity of data investigating this technique.

February 2025
Department of Radiology, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY.
Background: Periprosthetic hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a devastating postoperative complication. It is often associated with suboptimal orientation of the acetabular component, characterized by the acetabular abduction and anteversion angles obtained from anteroposterior pelvic radiographs. We introduce a novel automated web tool to streamline the subjective and lengthy process of this manual measurement and compare it to manual human measurements.
