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…
The scaphoid is vitally important for the proper mechanics of wrist function. Its unique morphology from its boat like shape to its retrograde blood supply can present with challenges in…
Complex distal radius fractures are high-energy injuries of the wrist with articular disruption, ligamentous instability, significant comminution, soft tissue injury, and/or neurovascular impairment. The management of these injuries requires a…
The progressive perilunar instability model described by Mayfield is still used to predict the pattern of injury. Diagnosis of injury and clinical and radiographic findings depend on the pattern of…
