Background: Previously published research describes short-term outcomes after proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint arthroplasty; however, long-term outcomes are scarce. Therefore, the authors evaluated patient-reported outcomes and complications after a follow-up of at least 5 years following PIP joint arthroplasty.
Methods: The authors used prospectively gathered data from patients undergoing PIP joint arthroplasty with silicone or surface replacement implants. Time points included preoperatively, 1 year postoperatively, and at least 5 years postoperatively. The authors were able to include 74 patients. Primarily, the authors focused on patient satisfaction with the treatment outcome, measured using a validated 5-point Likert scale. Secondary outcomes included the questions of whether patients would undergo the same surgery again, the assessment of factors associated with satisfaction or dissatisfaction, the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire score, and the number of reoperations.
Results: The mean follow-up was 7 ± 1.2 years (range, 5 to 11 years). Patient satisfaction was excellent in 14 patients (19%), good in 17 patients (23%), reasonable in 18 patients (24%), moderate in 10 patients (14%), and poor in 15 patients (20%). Seventy-three percent of patients ( n = 54) would undergo the same procedure again. The authors found no factors associated with satisfaction or dissatisfaction. All Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire scores improved significantly in the first year after surgery and did not deteriorate afterward. Sixteen fingers (16%) required a reoperation, of which 3 (4%) needed a prosthesis replacement.
Conclusions: Patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes 7 years after PIP implant surgery ranges from moderate to good for many patients, with a notable proportion expressing dissatisfaction. Patient-reported outcomes improve primarily within the first year and remain stable at 5 years or more.

Periprosthetic femoral fractures in minimally-invasive anterolateral short stem versus transgluteal straight stem cementless total hip arthroplasty: What are the differences in the femoral and pelvic morphology?

Background: The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis. PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index. PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.

Background: The use of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic agent, has been shown to effectively reduce total blood loss and transfusion rates in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this paper is to evaluate the implementation lag and clinical uptake of the use of TXA for primary TKA after publication of two landmark studies. Additionally, it assessed the efficacy of TXA use in TKA in reducing post-operative blood transfusions and hospital length of stay (LOS).

Background: Treatment of ankle osteoarthritis by total ankle replacement (TAR) is increasing worldwide. The aim of the study was to present the overall temporal trends of TAR throughout 22 years (2001-2022) in Italy, analyzing the distributions of hospitals by volume of activity and patients by age and sex, drawing on the National Hospital Discharge Record database. Furthermore, as a secondary aim, we compared these trends with those of ankle fusions.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious trauma of the central nervous system (CNS). SCI induces a unique lipid-dense environment that results in the deposition of large amounts of lipid droplets (LDs). The presence of LDs has been shown to contribute to the progression of other diseases.

Background: In most cases osteoarthritis of the ankle is of posttraumatic origin. Younger people are more frequently affected, which makes treatment a particular challenge. In addition to conservative treatment numerous surgical procedures are available for the treatment of advanced arthrosis.
