Background: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical issue in geriatric patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing orthopedic trauma surgery. The goal of this study was to investigate modifiable intraoperative risk factors for AKI.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 206 geriatric patients with CKD, who underwent orthopedic trauma surgery. Several variables, including intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hypoalbuminemia, intraoperative blood pressure and long-term use of potentially nephrotoxic drugs, were analyzed.
Results: Postoperative AKI (KIDGO) was observed in 25.2% of the patients. The 1-year mortality rate increased significantly from 26.7% to 30.8% in patients who developed AKI. Primary risk factors for AKI were blood loss (p < 0.001), postoperative hypoalbuminemia (p = 0.050), and potentially nephrotoxic drugs prior to admission (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-II receptor antagonists, diuretics, antibiotics, NSAIDs) (p = 0.003). Furthermore, the AKI stage negatively correlated with propofol dose per body weight (p = 0.001) and there was a significant association between AKI and the use of cement (p = 0.027). No significant association between intraoperative hypotension and AKI was observed in any statistical test. Femur fracture surgeries showed the greatest blood loss (524mL ± 357mL, p = 0.005), particularly intramedullary nailing at the proximal femur (598mL ± 395mL) and revision surgery (769mL ± 436mL).
Conclusion: In geriatric trauma patients with pre-existing CKD, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hypoalbuminemia, and pre-admission use of potentially nephrotoxic drugs are associated with postoperative AKI. The findings highlight the necessity to mitigate intraoperative blood loss and promote ortho-geriatric co-management to reduce the incidence and subsequent mortality in this high-risk population.

Purpose: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic delayed elective procedures such as total joint arthroplasty. As surgical volumes return to prepandemic levels, understanding the implications of COVID-19 becomes imperative. This study explored the effects of COVID-19 on the short-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty.

Background: The relative efficacies of topical and intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in spinal surgery remain controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of topical versus intravenous TXA in spinal surgery, with a particular focus on the impacts on intraoperative blood loss (IBL) and associated outcomes.
Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Library databases to identify all literature related to topical and intravenous TXA in spinal surgery.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a congenital bone disease caused by tissue-nonspecific mutations in the alkaline phosphatase gene. It is classified into six types: severe perinatal, benign prenatal, infantile, pediatric, adult, and odonto. HPP with femoral hypoplasia on fetal ultrasonography, seizures, or early loss of primary teeth can be easily diagnosed.

Background: Local relapse has not been eradicated even in the era of total mesorectum excision. Although various approaches have been attempted, R0 resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 45-year-old woman with a history of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection was diagnosed with pelvic recurrence 7 months ago.
