Hip and knee arthroplasty are frequently associated with significant blood loss, often necessitating blood transfusions. A variety of methods are employed to minimise blood loss and consequently mitigate the necessity for transfusions. This review explores the incidence of blood loss in hip and knee arthroplasty alongside perioperative strategies aimed at its reduction in UK practice. Given the increasing prevalence of tranexamic acid utilisation, we systematically examine the extant literature concerning its application in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty. Our analysis discerns a prevailing consensus within published studies favouring the implementation of tranexamic acid as a safe and efficacious measure for reducing blood loss during hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.

Walking patterns can differ between children and adults, both kinematically and kinetically. However, the detailed nature of the ankle pattern has not been clarified. We investigated musculature, biomechanics, and muscle activation strategies and their relevance to walking performance in preschool (PS) and school children (SC), with adults (AD) as reference.

This paper provides a thorough analysis of recent advancements and emerging trends in the integration of metal additive manufacturing (AM) within orthopedic implant development. With an emphasis on the use of various metals and alloys, including titanium, cobalt-chromium, and nickel-titanium, the review looks at their characteristics and how they relate to the creation of various orthopedic implants, such as spinal implants, hip and knee replacements, and cranial-facial reconstructions. The study highlights how metal additive manufacturing (AM) can revolutionize the field by enabling customized implant designs that take patient anatomical variances into account.

Background: Low-value care refers to the provision of health services that confer little or no benefit to patients, or have the potential to incur unwarranted harms. A breadth of literature exists investigating geographical variations in rates of potential low-value interventions for musculoskeletal pain. This scoping review aimed to examine the provision of low-value care for osteoarthritis and lower back pain by degree of rurality (e.

Introduction: Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has shown excellent results in the treatment of osteoarthritis, and its indications have now been extended to younger patients of working age. Few articles in the literature have studied the return to work of young subjects, and no specific studies have been conducted in France. Therefore, we carried out a retrospective study to 1) investigate the rate and delay of return to work after primary TKA in a population under 55 years of age and 2) identify factors influencing early return to work before 3 months, the period usually used as the duration of initial work stoppage (TS).

Background And Purpose: Measuring patient satisfaction after total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important. We aimed to cross-culturally adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the self-reported Goodman Satisfaction Score (GSS) in a sample of Norwegian patients following primary THA and TKA.
Methods: The GSS was translated and adapted into Norwegian (GSS-NO) following standard guidelines.
