Background And Aim Of The Work: The Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a common complication following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Although there is no concordance in Literature regarding the etiopathogenic mechanism, various HO risk factors have been recognized, both related to the patient and associated with the surgical procedureLiterature does not consider the use of intra-articular drainage as a possible risk factor. Our hypothesis is that this item can contribute to the development of HO.
Materials And Methods: 425 implants of hip arthroplasty performed between 2014 and 2017 at the Ortopedic Clinic of Udine were included in the study. No patient performed pre-operative or post-operative anti-HO prophylaxis during follow-up. Radiographs of preoperative and postoperative at 1 year were analyzed according to the Brooker Classification.
Results: The incidence of HO in patients with intra-articular drainage is 24.6%, while the incidence of HO in patients without intra-articular drainage is 15.3%, with a statistically significant difference.
Conclusions: The data obtained suggest to consider the use of intra-articular drainage as a possible intra-operative risk factor for HO. This is a retrospective cohort study, so we need more studies and more robust experimental designs to confirm these results.

Background: This study aimed to elucidate the safety and intra-articular elution profiles of vancomycin and gentamicin bone cement in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a focus on serum safety thresholds and therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent unilateral primary TKA were prospectively enrolled. The implants were fixed using gentamicin-impregnated bone cement, and after arthrotomy closure, 1000 mg of vancomycin suspended in 25 mL of normal saline was directly injected into the joint.

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces bleeding and hematoma rates in open elbow arthrolysis. However, its effects on arthroscopic elbow arthrolysis remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effect of TXA on elbow arthroscopic procedures and compare bleeding volume, hemarthrosis, visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, range of motion (ROM), and Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) in the early postoperative period between patients who received intra-articular TXA and those who did not.

Background: Suction drainages are commonly used after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures; however, their use is somewhat controversial. Recently, some reports have claimed that the administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) may prevent postoperative bleeding following TKAs. Although numerous studies have reported regarding different dosages, timings of administration, or drain clamping times for intravenous and intra-articular TXA injections (IA-TXAs), few have examined whether suction drainage is necessary when TXA is administered.

An alternative approach to the major problem of osteoarthritis that has begun to pique the interest of researchers focuses on the pathology of the subchondral bone, its constant cross-talk with the articular cartilage, and its interaction with the joint. The presence of bone marrow lesions, detectable on MRI scans, has proven to be a cause of pain as well as a predictor of the progression of degenerative changes. Subchondroplasty is a relatively new surgical procedure for the treatment of these lesions, in which injectable calcium phosphate bone cement is infused into the affected area percutaneously, under fluoroscopic guidance.
