Objectives. Post-infective arthritis is an important sequalae of septic arthritis(SA). While total knee arthroplasty(TKA) is an effective treatment for said arthritis, previous SA brings challenges for treatment planning. Using prospectively collected data from a cohort of patients with knee SA, this study aims to determine the proportion of patients requiring eventual
Aims. In-hospital length of stay (LOS) and discharge dispositions following arthroplasty could act as surrogate measures for improvement in patient pathways, and have major cost saving implications for healthcare providers. With the ever-growing adoption of robotic technology in arthroplasty, it is imperative to evaluate its impact on LOS. The objectives of this study were to compare LOS and discharge dispositions following robotic arm-assisted
