New Research Highlight: How fellowship training impacts outcomes after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
Excited to share this insightful study published in the Journal of the AAOS Global Research & Reviews exploring how fellowship training impacts outcomes after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).
Hip resurfacing may be effective for younger, active men with osteoarthritis
The primary outcome measured was implant survivorship free of all-cause revision and aseptic revision. Secondary outcomes included radiographic and clinical outcomes, as well as patient-reported outcomes.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Under 30 Years Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Mean Follow-Up of More than 120 Months
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) primarily affects young adults, leading to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Treatments include joint-preserving surgery, which has been performed preferentially, especially for young adults, and joint arthroplasty, i.e., total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although advancements in implant materials have markedly improved performance, there are few data regarding implant survival and clinical outcomes in younger patients. This study aimed to assess long-term implant survival of more than 120 months and clinical outcomes in young ONFH patients undergoing primary THA.
