Purpose: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic delayed elective procedures such as total joint arthroplasty. As surgical volumes return to prepandemic levels, understanding the implications of COVID-19 becomes imperative. This study explored the effects of COVID-19 on the short-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty.

Background: When patients with a failed hip arthroplasty are unsuitable for reimplantation, Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is a viable treatment option. We report on a patient who was treated with a GRA due to a periprosthetic infection. We discovered partial paralysis of the quadriceps muscle in this patient.

During maceration, a string of beads was found near the surgically modified right os coxa and femur of the remains of a 55-year-old woman donated to the Forensic Investigation Research Station at Colorado Mesa University. The remains were initially used in the study of decomposition of human remains, and then macerated to clean the skeleton. Documentation on this decedent noted three separate "hip replacement" surgeries, but no other details.

Article Synopsis
- Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is an option for patients unable to have prosthesis reimplantation due to infection, and this study investigates factors influencing reimplantation using a large database from 2012-2015.
- Out of 2,772 GRA cases, 73.1% were successfully reimplanted, with a median reimplantation time of 3 months, and factors like age, race, obesity, and comorbidities negatively impacted the likelihood of reimplantation.
- The study highlights that male patients had higher odds for reimplantation, suggesting a need for further research into the reasons behind the variability in patient outcomes after GRA.
