Summary Statement

Total hip arthroplasty and hemi-arthroplasty are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the United States. Both appear to be safe and effective treatment options, with rare acute adverse events and low mortality.

Introduction

Femoral neck fractures are one of the most frequent orthopaedic injuries seen in the United States (US). Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) are commonly used to treat displaced intra-capsular femoral neck fractures, but controversy currently exists regarding the preferred modality. The purpose of this study was to assess recent national trends in THA and HA performed for femoral neck fracture and to evaluate perioperative outcomes for each treatment group.

Summary Statement

Pulmonary embolism (PE) after total knee arthroplasty can have a significant impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Efforts to prevent or minimise PE over the last 10 years have not had a significant impact on its occurrence at the national level.

Introduction

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rare but known potentially devastating complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Significant healthcare resources and pharmaceutical research has been recently focused on preventing this complication but limited data exists regarding the early results of this great effort. The purpose of this study was to assess recent national trends in PE occurrence after TKA and evaluate patient outcomes related to this adverse event.

Summary Statement

The circle theorem is a simple and effective measurement tool for estimating acetabular version after total hip arthroplasty

Introduction

Position of the acetabular cup is a major factor in the range of motion and risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. However, there is no well established technique for accurately and easily estimating acetabular cup version intraoperatively or postoperatively. The objective of this study was to evaluate a recently proposed method for measuring acetabular cup version on a single plain radiograph of the hip, which is based on one of the circle theorems in basic geometry.

Summary Statement

Navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Compared to traditional unnavigated TKA, the use of navigation is associated with decreased blood transfusions and shorter hospital stays.

Introduction

Navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a recent modification to standard TKA with many purported benefits in regards to component positioning. Controversy currently exists though regarding its clinical benefits. The purpose of this study was to assess recent national trends in navigated and unnavigated total knee arthroplasty and to evaluate perioperative outcomes for each group.
