Objective: The relationship between hypoalbuminemia and complications after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has not been established. We hypothesize that hypoalbuminemia is associated with complications in patients undergoing revision THA.
Methods: The ACS-NSQIP database was queried for patients undergoing revision THA. Chi square and regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between hypoalbuminemia, demographics, other comorbidities, and complications.
Results: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with an increased risk of reoperation, bleeding complications, surgical site infections, non-routine discharge, medical complications, and surgical complications.
Conclusions: Albumin levels should be considered in the preoperative planning of patients undergoing revision THA for possible nutritional optimization.

Metal-backed versus all-poly tibia in the original cartier unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: outcomes and survivorship at long-term follow-up.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Sezione di Chirurgia Protesica ad Indirizzo Robotico Unità di Traumatologia dello Sport, Fondazione Poliambulanza Istituto Ospedaliero, Brescia, Italy.
Purpose: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a viable option for localized osteoarthritis (OA) or avascular osteonecrosis with several advantages over total knee arthroplasty (TKA). UKA implants may feature a tibial component either all-polyethylene (AP) or metal-backed (MB). This study aims to retrospectively compare the clinical outcomes and survivorship of 74 UKAs over 16 years, focusing on comparing the results and survivorship of MB versus AP tibial tray.

Background: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 30 days following noncardiac surgery are prognostically relevant. Accurate prediction of risk and modifiable risk factors for postoperative MACEs is critical for surgical planning and patient outcomes. We aimed to develop and validate an accurate and easy-to-use machine learning model for predicting postoperative MACEs in geriatric patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

: Instability is a major reason for revision after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and acetabular cup placement in the "traditional" safe zone does not protect against dislocations. Spinopelvic mobility may play a role in impingement and dislocation after THA. Personalized acetabular cup placement that incorporates spinopelvic mobility is currently lacking in the literature.

Background: Burn injuries can require hospitalization, operations, and long-term reconstruction. Burn-injured patients can experience short- or long-term disability. We investigated lost workdays (LWDs), short-term disability (STD), and long-term disability (LTD) in the 12-month period following a burn injury.

Background: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare condition characterized by absence of abdominal musculature, cryptorchidism, and obstructive uropathy. The most common orthopaedic problem is scoliosis, yet no reports on growth-friendly surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) exist. Our purpose was to evaluate outcomes of distraction-based implants in children with PBS.
