Calls for integrating the biosocial perspective into medical education are abundant. The core curricula of most of health professions education, however, have yet to fully integrate this concept. In this Invited Commentary, the authors describe barriers to implementation-the lack of a shared vocabulary, core curriculum, and clinical metrics-and propose a framework for implementing curricula in social medicine and structural competence.

Background: Effective surgical treatments for lymphedema now can address the fluid and solid phases of the disease process. Microsurgical procedures, including lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), target the fluid component that predominates at earlier stages of the disease. Suction-assisted protein lipectomy (SAPL) addresses the solid component that typically presents later as chronic, nonpitting lymphedema of an extremity.

Introduction: Concerns regarding risk versus benefit, that is, the possible impact of surgical-site bleeding on post-operative joint infections, have contributed to a continuing debate over recommendations for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in post-surgical orthopedic patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA).
Areas Covered: A comprehensive literature search using MEDLINE covering the period 2004-2009 was conducted, and published studies that focused on THA and TKA and contained data applicable to thromboprophylaxis, post-surgical wound infection and bleeding are reviewed in this paper. The search strategy included various combinations of terms related to lower limb joint arthroplasty, anticoagulant drugs, post-operative bleeding and prosthetic joint infection (wound infection).
