Short-Term Functional Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty According to Their Body Mass Index
This study aimed to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and short-term outcomes following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including functional improvement, perioperative variables, and postoperative complications.
Clinical Outcomes of Arthroscopic Hip Labral Reconstruction Versus Repair in the Primary Setting: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Advancements in understanding the acetabular labrum's role in hip biomechanics have emphasized preserving its native anatomy. However, severe labral pathology may make labral repair unfeasible in certain cases. The primary aim of the present study is to review existing literature comparing clinical outcomes of arthroscopic hip labral reconstruction versus repair in the primary setting.
Teenage Total Hip Arthroplasty Yields High Satisfaction and Excellent Survival up to 20-Year Follow-Up
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly performed in patients younger than 20 years who have destructive hip pathology. The unique anatomical and developmental characteristics of this population, along with the high likelihood of future revision surgery, have led to cautious clinical decision-making. Data on safety, effectiveness, and long-term (20 years) outcomes in teenagers remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate implant survival, patient satisfaction, functional outcomes, and complications following THA in teenagers.
Impact of Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors and Urbanization Status on Postoperative Outcomes Following Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy (HA) is increasingly used to treat femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears, with growing interest in the role of socioeconomic factors on postoperative outcomes. Prior literature suggests socioeconomic deprivation may worsen patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), but findings regarding the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and urbanization status remain inconsistent.
