Total Hip Arthroplasty

KOLOA, Hawaii — Surgeons must devise and implement calculated treatment algorithms when performing periprosthetic fracture revisions following total hip and total knee arthroplasties, according to a presenter here.

Published results showed total hip arthroplasty with computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation may yield decreased OR times and costs with comparable clinical outcomes vs. robotic-assisted surgery.

Smith & Nephew announced it received FDA clearance of its Coriograph preoperative planning and modeling services for use in total hip arthroplasty procedures, according to a company press release.

Published results showed patients with a familial emergency contact, such as a spouse or first- and second-degree relative, may have better outcomes after total hip or knee arthroplasty vs. patients with a non-familial emergency contact.

DALLAS — In this video, Adolph V. Lombardi Jr., MD, discusses results that showed a significant association between improvements in walking asymmetry with patient-reported changes in quality of life 1 year after total joint arthroplasty.

DALLAS — Results presented here showed standard liners and constrained liners had similar rates of aseptic failure and dislocation among patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty with a custom triflange acetabular component.

Published results showed total hip arthroplasty performed with robotic-assistance software that incorporates pelvic tilt and virtual range of motion may change the preoperative plan for cup position and deviate from traditional safe zones.

Published results showed robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty may provide significantly greater accuracy in acetabular component positioning compared with manual THA in patients with overweight or obesity.

DALLAS — Results presented here showed lower outpatient arthroplasty risk assessment score prior to total joint arthroplasty was predictive of same- and next-day discharge and fewer complications and readmissions.

DALLAS — Results showed a high rate of Cutibacterium acnes for patients having total hip arthroplasty, with no significant difference in the positive culture rate between standard surgical preparation or preparation with benzoyl peroxide.
