Study Design: Retrospective study.

Objective: We aim to determine the influence of preoperative Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) scores on perioperative and postoperative outcomes, the latter determined through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and the degree of achievement rates of minimum clinically important difference (MCID) following single-level cervical disc replacement (CDR).

Background: Several studies have examined the relationship between preoperative PROMIS-PF as a prognostic factor for postoperative outcomes.

Introduction: In this article, we report a unique case of head-stem dissociation in a metal-on-metal total hip replacement which utilized an Exeter stem. Although metallosis and pseudotumor formation are well recognized complications of metal-on-metal hip replacements, head-stem dissociations are rare with few being reported in literature. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first to report this occurrence in an Exeter stem.

Background: Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to grow exponentially, with a significant subset of patients requiring staged bilateral procedures. The optimal interval between staged procedures and effective strategies to minimize postoperative pain to enhance rehabilitation and mobility remain poorly understood.

Methods: 160 consecutive patients undergoing staged bilateral TKA between August 2017 and January-2021 was retrospectively reviewed.

Objectives: While valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, its utility in a reoperative sternotomy setting remains uncertain. This study evaluates the perioperative safety and long-term durability of reoperative sternotomy VSRR.

Methods: All consecutive VSRR at two centers from 2005-2020 were included.

Persons with hemophilia A (PWHA) lack clotting factor VIII (FVIII) due to a genetic mutation in the F8 gene. The administration of FVIII concentrate leads to the development of neutralizing anti-FVIII antibodies (inhibitors) in about 30% of children with severe hemophilia A. The other 70% of children do not mount a detectable antibody response, suggesting that they may have developed tolerance towards FVIII.
