Aims

The aims of this study were to determine the incidence and factors for developing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following hemiarthroplasty (HA) for hip fracture, and to evaluate treatment outcome and identify factors associated with treatment outcome.

Methods

A retrospective review was performed of consecutive patients treated for HA PJI at a tertiary referral centre with a mean 4.5 years’ follow-up (1.6 weeks to 12.9 years). Surgeries performed included debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) and single-stage revision. The effect of different factors on developing infection and treatment outcome was determined.

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has raised the profile and level of interest in the use, acceptability, safety, and effectiveness of virtual outpatient consultations and telemedicine. These models of care are not new but a number of challenges have so far hindered widespread take-up and endorsement of these ways of working. With the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, remote and virtual working and consultation have become the default. This paper explores our experience of and learning from virtual and remote consultation and questions how this experience can be retained and developed for the future.

Summary

Arthroscopic decompression of the lunate decreases clinical symptoms and slows progression of Kienböck's Disease.

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of patients suffering from avascular necrosis of the lunate, or Kienböck's Disease, who received arthroscopic decompression to treat the ischemic lunate. Previous studies have demonstrated an elevated intraosseus pressure in the ischemic lunate, and it has been hypothesised that ischemia in the lunate is secondary to this elevated pressure and subsequent venous congestion, as opposed to diminished arterial supply. Based on this work we have used decompression of the lunate to prevent progression of the disease.
