Anatomical alignment of the acetabular component using transverse acetabular ligament in total hip replacement: a prospective cohort study
Optimal positioning of the acetabular component is crucial in total hip replacement surgery to minimize postoperative dislocation rates. The transverse acetabular ligament (TAL) has been proposed as a useful anatomical landmark for cup orientation. This prospective cohort study included 122 patients who underwent total hip replacement at E Hospital, Hanoi, between January 2021 and December 2022.
Skin Numbness After Knee Replacement Surgery
While knee replacement surgery has a very high success rate, it can also cause side effects, including numbness of the skin around the incision site. During knee replacement surgery, it's common for nerves that run through the surgical site to become damaged.
Riding a Bike After a Knee Replacement
Riding a bike after knee replacement surgery may be recommended as a part of your rehabilitation treatment. In fact, most people can start riding a stationary bike in as little as two weeks after surgery.
Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Tricompartmental osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of knee arthritis. It occurs in all three compartments of the knee (places where bones join together), instead of just one or two. While OA affects the knees more than any other joint, a review of more than 3,700 cases found the tricompartmental diagnosis in just 17% of cases.
Robotics Help Improve Precision, Personalization of Knee Replacement Surgery
Using planning software and real-time imaging, this technology helps surgeons navigate an individual’s specific anatomy, including the tension in the various knee ligaments and other tissues around the knee, with reproducible precision in order to place the new implants in an optimal position with accurate soft tissue balance.
Risk factors for general complications after hip or knee replacement surgery in elderly patients: a single-center study
This study focused on elderly patients with risk factors for complications after hip or knee replacement surgery. Clinically, elderly patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery should perform well in terms of preoperative and perioperative management.
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on postoperative muscle damage and inflammation following total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial
This study aims to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on muscle damage and inflammatory responses after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Outcomes of total knee arthroplasty in people with diabetes: An overview of systematic reviews and meta-analysis
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in people with diabetes is associated with increased risks of postoperative complications. This review evaluates how diabetes influences complication rates and overall outcomes following TKA.
How Long Can You Expect Your Hip Replacement to Last?
Hip replacement surgery typically is highly successful, with most individuals reporting a dramatic improvement in their quality of life. Most hip replacements have a lifespan between 15 and 25 years.
AI successfully identifies risk factors linked to more severe pain after knee replacement
A study using artificial intelligence to classify patient pain archetypes and identify risk for severe pain after knee replacement has earned a Best of Meeting award at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA).
