Early Ambulation

PTC Therapeutics Inc. released results showing that treatment with Translarna delayed loss of ambulation by more than 5 years among boys with nonsense mutation Duchenne muscular dystrophy vs. standard of care alone.

Use of mepivacaine for spinal anesthesia during total hip arthroplasty led to earlier ambulation and a greater percentage of same-day discharge compared with hyperbaric and isobaric bupivacaine, according to results.
