Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of activity limitation in adults. In two patients with chronic pain due to hip OA who had inadequate pain relief or had severe recalcitrant pain, fluoroscopy-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the hip joint nerve branches was performed, and analgesic effects were obtained. RFA of the hip joint nerve branches is usually performed by taking into consideration the localization of the femoral nerve and the obturator nerve innervating the anterior aspect of the hip joint, and the superior gluteal nerve and sciatic nerve innervating the posterior aspect of the hip joint. In these cases, RFA can be performed more easily by using a direct needle approach and can be more specific about tender points. These two cases suggest the usefulness of hip nerve branches RFA for patients with chronic pain due to hip OA who may not be candidates for total hip arthroplasty.

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI), along with the extensive medical and surgical interventions required for treatment, impose a substantial psychological burden on patients. Given the need for patients to adapt to long-term physical limitations and ongoing medical challenges, this qualitative study aims to explore the nature of psychological coping amongst patients with chronic cases of PJI. A total of 18 patients (8 men and 10 women, aged 55 to 92) who underwent a total knee or hip arthroplasty revision due to chronic PJI were recruited at a single academic institution between August 2022 and July 2023.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD), is a rare avascular osteonecrosis of the proximal femur usually occurring in children between 5 and 10 years of age. The cause of ischemia leading to necrosis of the femoral head remains unknown. The goal of surgical treatment for LCPD is to improve the containment of the femoral head to restore the function of the hip joint and prevent further damage to the femoral head leading to premature hip osteoarthritis.

Purpose: Determining the best suture for wound closure in high-tension areas by anatomical site and procedure type remains a challenge. This study assessed the cumulative incidence of clinical outcomes among patients undergoing procedures incorporating the STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS™ Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device (STRATAFIX Symmetric) for closure of high-tension areas, such as the abdominal fascia and hip and knee joint capsule, in the course of routine clinical practice.
Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing open abdominal or orthopedic surgery between October 1, 2016, and October 31, 2023, using size 0 or 1 STRATAFIX Symmetric were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database.

Purpose: Aseptic loosening (AL) of prostheses is a complex and multi-factorial consequences characterized by nonspecific hip start-up pain, impaired gait, or ambulation. The AL of acetabular components associated with femur prostheses can lead to challenges in accurate diagnosis and suitable therapy, potentially resulting in disaster consequence. This study reported revision of in four cases with AL of acetabular components associated with or without femur prostheses after underwent primary total hip arthroplasty.

Background Outpatient joint arthroplasty (OJA) of the hip and knee is becoming increasingly popular within the orthopedic community. Most evidence regarding the safety and feasibility of OJA has been gathered from the perspectives of surgeons and healthcare organizations. However, the success of these pathways also hinges on patients feeling safe and adequately prepared to return home.
