Background And Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the health-related quality of life before and after a hip and a knee arthroplasty operation using a 15D instrument and to compare these scores to the Finnish control population 15D scores.
Methods: The pre- and post-operative data of 15D were prospective collected from the patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty at the Kuopio University Hospital. Post-operative data were collected at 6 and 12 months after the operation.
Results: The mean change of the 15D score after hip arthroplasty was +0.062 and after knee arthroplasty, it was +0.033 at the 12-month follow-up ( < 0.001). Total hip arthroplasty patients of all ages reached the control population 15D scores at the 12-month follow-up. Of the total knee arthroplasty patients, only patients aged >75 years and males aged 55-64 years did reach control population 15D scores at the 12-month follow-up. Patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in mobility, vision, sleeping, usual activities, discomfort and symptoms, distress, and vitality ( < 0.05).
Conclusions: Successful hip and knee arthroplasty operations improve patients' health-related quality of life. According to this study, hip arthroplasty improves the health-related quality of life more than knee arthroplasty.

Background: Studies have shown an association between a reported penicillin allergy and an increased risk of surgical site infection. The risk is due to avoidance of cephalosporins and to the use of alternative classes of antibiotics in surgical prophylaxis. The aim of this study was to examine the safety of using cephalosporins in patients with a penicillin allergy label.

Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Introduction: There is a lack of clinical evidence supporting the decision-making process between high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicomparmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in gray zone indication, such as moderate medial osteoarthritis with moderate varus alignment. This study compared the outcomes between HTO and UKA in such cases and assessed the risk factor for not maintaining clinical improvements.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 opening-wedge HTOs and 55 UKAs with moderate medial osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3 and Ahlback grade < 3) and moderate varus alignment (5°< Hip-Knee-Ankle angle < 10°) over 3 years follow-up.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to establish an international consensus statement on the indications for the addition of a patellofemoral joint arthroplasty (PFJA) in patients with a unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) and symptomatic progression of patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and the results used to inform the development of a statement by an expert working group. This was then evaluated and modified, using a Delphi process, by members of the European Knee Society (EKS).

Introduction: The combined effect of diabetes mellitus and obesity (Diabesity) on total knee replacement (TKR) outcomes is unclear. This study aimed to assess whether diabesity influenced functional outcomes and complication rate following primary TKR.
Materials And Methods: This case-controlled study compared the independent effects of obesity, diabetes, and diabesity on TKR outcomes.
