Increased rates of cementless TKA yielded negligible increases in early revision

As cementless fixation in total knee arthroplasty has increased in the U.S. since 2012, results presented here showed a small but significant increase in 1-year revision risk with this method in patients aged 65 years or older.

Hip Replacement Dislocation

Normal hip joints have many surrounding structures that help to stabilize the hip joint. These structures include muscles, ligaments, and the normal bony structure of the hip joint. Together, these structures keep the ball (the femoral head) within the socket (the acetabulum).

Innovative imaging techniques show what happens inside bones during hip replacement surgery

Uncemented hip replacement surgery uses implants with roughened surfaces designed to allow the patient's bone to grow directly onto the implant, creating a strong, natural biological bond. Unlike cemented implants, which rely on bone cement that can degrade and fracture, uncemented implants depend on this natural bone integration for long-term stability.

Successful management of PJI occurred in about 50% of patients

Results presented at the Musculoskeletal Infection Society Annual Meeting showed successful management of periprosthetic joint infection occurred in a little more than half of cases after total joint arthroplasty.
