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…
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…
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:…
Complications following any form of distal radius fixation remain prevalent. With an armamentarium of fixation options available to practicing surgeons, familiarity with the risks of newer plate technology as it…
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…
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a condition of the immature hip in which mechanical overload of the proximal femoral physis results in anterior and superior displacement of the femoral…
Even with current techniques and instrumentation, complications can occur after operative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The most dreaded complications—neurologic deficits—are relatively infrequent, occurring in 1% or less of patients….
