Repair of posterior meniscal root tears delayed time to knee arthroplasty

Results of a matched cohort comparison of 45 patients with medial meniscal root tears who underwent either nonsurgical management, partial meniscectomy or repair showed significant differences among the groups for progression to knee arthroplasty, with the meniscus root repair group having significantly less arthritic progression based on changes in Kellgren-Lawrence grade.
Medially stabilized TKA device had superior outcomes vs posterior-stabilized device
Implant cost may correlate with total inpatient cost after TJA
Highly crosslinked polyethylene liner delivers ‘excellent’ clinical outcomes in THA for osteonecrosis
Microbiomes identified after TKA possibly exist in patients’ native knees

Among 40 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, results of a prospective cohort study showed next-generation sequencing identified at least one positive organism that was native to the patient’s knee in 12 patients. Furthermore, 4.6 organisms were identified, on average, in patients with positive next-generation sequencing results.
