Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for obese patient entails more preoperative comorbidities and complications, and shorter longevity. This article is a retrospective review comparing longevity of the constrained implant with a…
Internal and external malrotation of the femoral and tibial components is associated with poor function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We determined the degree of malrotation for both components in…
Although unicompartmental knee arthroplasty may pose a lower risk of perioperative complications and achieve better functional outcomes than total knee arthroplasty, a high degree of accuracy of implant positioning and…
Concurrent spine and hip disease is common. Spinal deformities can restrict lumbar range of motion and lumbar lordosis, leading to pelvic obliquity and increased pelvic tilt. A comprehensive preoperative workup…
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Two-stage exchange arthroplasty is preferred for treating chronic PJI of THA, although specialized centers have reported comparable…
The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has been performed by obtaining a history and physical examination, blood tests, and analysis of the synovial fluid and tissue samples. The measurement…
Modern techniques to repair the distal biceps tendon include one-incision and 2-incision techniques that use transosseous sutures, suture anchors, interference screws, and/or cortical buttons to achieve a strong repair of…
The routine use of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients undergoing foot and ankle procedures is not well supported in the literature. Multiple studies draw conclusions from heterogeneous populations, and specific…
Reported complication rates are low for lateral epicondylitis management, but the anatomic complexity of the elbow allows for possible catastrophic complication. This review documents complications associated with lateral epicondylar release:…
Carpal tunnel release for compression of the median nerve at the wrist is one of the most common and successful procedures in hand surgery. Complications, though rare, are potentially devastating…
