This meta-analysis evaluates outcomes in patients undergoing bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (bAVR), comparing different antithrombotic strategies. We conducted a systematic search through May 2024. A standard meta-analysis compared outcomes between patients who received anticoagulation therapy (AC) and those who did not.

Background: Although there is a known correlation between obesity and revision risk following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an ongoing debate regarding the appropriateness of denying TKA solely based on the body mass index (BMI) of a patient. Our aim was to determine whether a patient's American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class predicts their risks of early all-cause revision and revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary TKA, independent of their BMI.
Methods: Data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR) were obtained regarding all patients who underwent primary TKA for osteoarthritis in Australia from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022.

Background: Currently, there is no clear standard for the surgical options for Evans-Jensen Type IV intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients over 65 years old. This study aims to retrospectively analyze and compare the early postoperative limb function and quality of life of patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for this type of fracture. We hypothesize that there is no significant difference in complications and postoperative recovery between the two surgical methods.

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a complication, rarely encountered in daily clinical practice, but its treatment is frequently unsuccessful. In this report, we describe the treatment strategy used at our hospital, which has provided stable therapeutic results.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of infections following knee arthroplasty at our hospital between April 2005 and December 2022.

Background: Patients with comorbid coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease usually undergo coronary artery bypass grafting alongside valve replacement or ring repair surgeries. Following these procedures, they typically receive a combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, which notably heightens their bleeding risk. However, Current scoring systems provide limited predictive capability.
