To assess the efficiency and safety of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in the total hip and knee arthroplasty, we conducted a meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials. Potential academic articles were identified from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Springer and ScienceDirect. Secondary sources were identified from the references of the included literature. RevMan 5.1 was used to analyze the pooled data. Six randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed more superficial surgical site infection and blisters in patients with total knee arthroplasty. There were no significant differences between two groups in total infection and total complications. NPWT decreased the incidence of superficial surgical site infection. More blisters were noticed in patients with NPWT after total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Optimal coronal and rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty is essential for satisfactory outcomes. There has been limited focus on sagittal alignment in assessing outcomes. This study investigated the impact of femoral implant flexion (FF) angle on knee kinematics and postoperative outcomes.

Background: The burden of revision total joint arthroplasty (rTJA) is increasing. Revision procedures are associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications. Obese patients undergoing rTJA may have a higher risk of wound complications due to their soft-tissue envelope.

Background: Understanding functional changes between unilateral and simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients remains limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in recovery times between unilateral and bilateral TKA.
Methods: We retrospectively recruited patients who met the eligibility criteria.

Background: Patient-reported joint instability after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is difficult to quantify objectively. Here, we apply machine learning to cluster TKA subjects using nine literature-proposed gait parameters as knee instability predictors and explore cluster reliability and consistency with self-organizing map (SOM) and k-means computation.
Methods: Subjects with TKA were retrieved from a data repository, supplemented by TKA patients with self-reported knee instability.

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), along with the extensive medical and surgical interventions required for treatment, impose a substantial psychological burden on patients. Given the need for patients to adapt to long-term physical limitations and ongoing medical challenges, this qualitative study aims to explore the nature of psychological coping amongst patients with chronic cases of PJI. A total of 18 patients (8 men and 10 women, aged 55 to 92) who underwent a total knee or hip arthroplasty revision due to chronic PJI were recruited at a single academic institution between August 2022 and July 2023.
