Annular closure device may reduce recurrence, reoperation of lumbar disc herniation
Published results showed lumbar microdiscectomy with a bone-anchored annular closure device for treatment of lumbar disc herniation and large annular defect may reduce the risk of symptomatic recurrence and reoperation at 5-year follow-up.
Arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures may reduce mortality, reoperation rates
SAN DIEGO — Compared with internal fixation of minimally displaced fractures, arthroplasty may reduce the risks of mortality and reoperation in patients with femoral neck fractures, according to a presenter.
UKA led to shorter stay, fewer periprosthetic infections and reoperations than TKA
Compared with total knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty yielded shorter hospital stays, more day-of discharges, fewer periprosthetic joint infections and fewer reoperations, according to published results.
Patient outcomes, pathology may predict failure after femoroacetabular impingement surgery
Younger patients had higher early reoperation, revision rates after TKA vs older patients
Patients 55 years of age or younger who underwent total knee arthroplasty had a nearly two times greater rate of early reoperation and component revision surgery compared with patients between 60 and 75 years of age, according to results.
Distal femoral replacement yielded positive outcomes
Distal femoral replacement for knee trauma yielded positive clinical, functional outcomes
Patellofemoral arthroplasty yielded low 30-day reoperation, readmission rates
Published results showed patients who underwent patellofemoral arthroplasty experienced low 30-day readmission and reoperation rates, with older age and elevated BMI identified as risk factors for adverse perioperative outcomes.
Low BMI, contaminated wounds may predict reoperation, readmission after elbow arthroplasty
