Elevated cobalt levels in metal-on-polyethylene knee megaprostheses: a prospective 1-year cohort study of 56 patients with hip and knee megaprostheses
CONCLUSION: We found elevated serum ion levels in metal-on-polyethylene knee megaprostheses in contrast to metal-on-polyethylene hip megaprostheses. Furthermore, a positive correlation between cobalt and chromium levels, and between cobalt and eGFR was identified, along with a negative correlation between cobalt and age. This study highlights the importance of monitoring systemic cobalt and chromium levels in patients with megaprostheses.PMID:38629902 | PMC:PMC11022749 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40502 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

A simplified, 2-question grading system for evaluating abstracts in orthopedic scientific meetings: a serial randomization study
CONCLUSION: The simplified abstract grading system exhibited a poor correlation with the current scoring system, while the new system offers a more inclusive evaluation of varying study designs and is preferred by almost all DOASC members.PMID:38629944 | PMC:PMC11022873 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40504 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Enhancing the data capture of periprosthetic joint infections in the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Registry: validity assessment and incidence estimation
CONCLUSION: The sensitivity of revision due to PJI in the DKR was 58%. The cumulative incidence of PJI within 1 year after TKA was highest (1.1%) when combining the DKR and HAIBA, showing that incorporating microbiology data into arthroplasty registries can enhance PJI validity.PMID:38595072 | PMC:PMC11004670 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40358 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

ChatGPT-4 generates orthopedic discharge documents faster than humans maintaining comparable quality: a pilot study of 6 cases
CONCLUSION: ChatGPT-4 creates orthopedic discharge notes faster than physicians, with comparable quality. This shows it has great potential for making these documents more efficient in orthopedic care. ChatGPT-4 has the potential to significantly reduce the administrative burden on healthcare professionals.PMID:38597205 | PMC:PMC10959013 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40182 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Influence of marker-selection method in radiostereometric analysis of total knee arthroplasty on tibial baseplate migration patterns: a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial with 5-year follow-up
CONCLUSION: Estimated group differences in mean MTPM were similar between marker-selection methods, but individual migration results differed. The latter has implications when classifying implants for estimated risk of future loosening.PMID:38597226 | PMC:PMC10959012 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.40184 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)
