Obesity adversely impacts outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA), leading surgeons to impose body mass index cutoffs for patient eligibility and encourage preoperative weight loss. This study aimed to determ...
This study aimed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hip fracture in all age groups in Shanghai, and to evaluate the hospitalization cost of patients with hip fracture.
The gold standard to decrease total joint arthroplasty (TJA) periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. Despite substantial prevention efforts, rates of PJIs are increasing. W...
Few Australian studies have examined the incidence of prescribed opioid use prior to primary total knee or total hip arthroplasty (TKA, THA) and whether it predicts post-surgery outcomes. A recent Australian s...
Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to influence risk for revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), but few studies have specifically examined which causes of rTHA are most likely in different BMI classes. We h...
