Aim Of The Study: It is important to reduce potential wound complications in total hip and total knee arthroplasty procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare the jubilee dressing method to a standard adhesive dressing.
Method: 124 patients (62 total hip replacements and 62 total knee replacements) were randomly selected to have either a standard adhesive dressing or jubilee method dressing. The number of dressing changes, incidence of blistering, leakage, appearance of inflammation, infection rate and the average stay in hospital was recorded for each patient.
Results: The jubilee dressing significantly reduced the rate of blistering, leakage and number of dressing changes when compare to a traditional adhesive dressing (p < 0.05). The rate of inflammation and average length of stay in hospital was not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: The authors recommend the use of this dressing for total hip and total knee arthroplasty procedures due to the associated lower complication rate.

Comparing supine CT scanogram and standing long-leg radiograph for postoperative alignment in total knee arthroplasty: a prospective study.

Purpose: Achieving precise postoperative alignment is critical for the long-term success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Long-leg standing radiograph (LLR) at 6 weeks post-op is the gold standard for assessing alignment, but its reliance on weight-bearing and positioning makes it less practical in the early postoperative period. Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) offers a potential alternative.

Excessive consumption of nicotine and alcohol has been proven to effect the organ system. Both stimulants are consumed in the population to a not insignificant extent. The question therefore arises as to what effect the consumption of nicotine and alcohol has on the complication rates and to what extent this should be reduced or stopped before performing a joint arthroplasty? A literature search was carried out to answer these questions.

Background: The framing effect has been demonstrated in a variety of settings. This study aimed to determine whether framing of complication risk in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and long-term patient satisfaction rates in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) influences patient decision-making and 'worry' using hypothetical vignettes.
Methods: Two cross-sectional survey studies were undertaken, one based on a THA vignette and one based on a TKA vignette.

Background: Few studies have assessed vertical ground reaction force, contact time, contact area, and center of pressure during gait in the early phase post-total hip arthroplasty. This study aimed to investigate whether these parameters are more pronounced in participants post-total hip arthroplasty compared to healthy controls.
Methods: We included 22 female participants who underwent total hip arthroplasty (age, 68.
