The purpose of this article is to determine if individuals with high rather than low femoral offset of a total hip arthroplasty achieve improved hip abductor muscle strength and thus…
Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is a viable treatment option of the patient with isolated patellofemoral arthritis. Some of the purported advantages of PFA compared with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include less…
This article presents the clinical features of crystal arthropathy after knee replacement. The current literature on pseudogout and gout after both total and partial knee replacement is summarized. A case…
Large angular deformities can be a challenge when performing primary total knee replacement. Some investigators have advocated the use of increased component constraint in these settings. The goal of this…
This article examines whether any new complications were associated with highly cross-linked polyethylene in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to its altered mechanical properties. Average preoperative Knee Society…
Correct acetabular cup position is critical to successful total hip replacement. Unfortunately, malposition of acetabular cups is common and leads to increased rates of dislocation, wear, and ion toxicity. Despite…
The best bearing to use in the young active population remains unknown because there are currently no evidence-based data to rely on. This article compares the prevalence of periacetabular osteolysis…
Patient-specific instrumentation is a new technology that offers increased surgical accuracy, which could decrease outliers, increased efficiency, involving fewer steps and shorter surgical times, and has the potential for cost-effectiveness,…
This article quantifies pain differences in the immediate postoperative period between patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoMHR). Patients less than 65 years old indicated for…
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the development of arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty. Using manipulation following total knee arthroplasty as a surrogate for stiffness, this multicenter case-control study found…
