No Difference in Blood Loss and Risk of Transfusion Between Patients Treated with One or Two Doses of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid After Simultaneous Bilateral TKA
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that a single dose of intravenous TXA may be adequate to control excessive blood loss and reduce blood transfusion in simultaneous bilateral TKA. Despite its short half-life, TXA still appears to be effective in this demanding procedure without requiring prolonged plasma concentrations obtained from multiple doses. Additional high-quality studies are still needed to determine the most appropriate dosing regimen.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.PMID:35302971 | PMC:PMC8923576 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000002037

Comparison of Extramedullary and Intramedullary Implants for Stable Intertrochanteric Fractures: Have We Swung the Pendulum Too Far the Other Way?
DISCUSSION: Our study found that extramedullary implants were associated with lower transfusions rates, lower readmissions, and better patient disposition. We recommend surgeons to consider extramedullary implants when treating stable IT fractures, especially if the patient is anemic or at high risk for hospital readmission.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III. Retrospective cohort study.PMID:35196299 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-21-00657

Trends in Comorbidities and Complications Among Patients Undergoing Inpatient Spine Surgery
Study Design. Retrospective database study. Objective. We sought to identify trends in demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative complications among patients undergoing ACDF and PLF. Summary of Background Data. As demand for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) surgery continues to increase, it is important to understand changes in the healthcare system and patient populations undergoing these procedures. Methods. We identified 220,520 ACDF and 151,547 PLF surgeries (2006–2016; Premier Healthcare database). Annual proportions or medians were calculated for patie...

Mortality and Morbidity of Surgical Management of Geriatric Ankle Fractures.
DISCUSSION: After controlling for comorbidities (ie, the ASA class), no increased risk is observed for the 30-day mortality or complication rate between geriatric ankle fracture in the 65 to 79 years old and the 80 to 99 years old age groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic level III, retrospective study. PMID: 32769723 [PubMed - in process]

Unicompartmental knee replacement – An underrated alternative of total knee replacement: A matched comparative study analysing their benefits and risks in local population
ConclusionBecause of less operative risk and faster rehabilitation, this study suggested that unicompartmental knee replacement is more cost effective and might be a better choice for patients with unicompartmental arthritis in local population.中文摘要簡介膝關節置換術的需求跟隨全世界人口老齡化不斷增加。儘管單室膝關節置換術有較少並發症，即中風﹑心肌梗死﹑血栓栓塞﹑輸血和死亡率，它僅佔所有膝關節置換術的 3一8％，這項研究的目標是比較在香港人口的單室膝關節置換術與全膝關節置換術，通過評估的好處和風險...

Short-term Medical Complications Following Short Versus Long Cephalomedullary Nails.
Abstract The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate whether there is an increased rate of short-term medical complications following short vs long cephalomedullary nails for the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures. A total of 899 patients treated surgically with cephalomedullary nails from January 1, 2005, to September 1, 2014, were included. Patients who received short nails (n=334) were older and had a higher incidence of coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus compared with patients who received long nails (n=565). The incidences of 30-day medical complications, including myoc...

Coagulation Profile as a Risk Factor for 30-Day Morbidity and Mortality Following Posterior Lumbar Fusion
Study Design. A retrospective cohort study. Objective. The aim of this study was to identify associations between abnormal coagulation profile and postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion (PLF). Summary of Background Data. The literature suggests that abnormal coagulation profile is associated with postoperative complications, notably the need for blood transfusion. However, there is little research that directly addresses the influence of coagulation profile on postoperative complications following PLF. Methods. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Impro...

Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the ACL-deficient knee
Abstract Symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee develops often in association with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency. Two distinct pathologies should be recognised while considering treatment options in patients with end-stage medial compartment OA and ACL deficiency. Patients with primary ACL deficiency (usually traumatic ACL rupture) can develop secondary OA (typically presenting with symptoms of instability and pain) and these patients are typically young and active. Patients with primary end stage medial compartment OA can develop secondary ACL deficiency (usually degenerate ACL rupture) and the...

Reduced short-term complications and mortality following Enhanced Recovery primary hip and knee arthroplasty: results from 6,000 consecutive procedures.
Abstract Background and purpose Enhanced Recovery (ER) is a well-established multidisciplinary strategy in lower limb arthroplasty and was introduced in our department in May 2008. This retrospective study reviews short-term outcomes in a consecutive unselected series of 3,000 procedures (the "ER" group), and compares them to a numerically comparable cohort that had been operated on previously using a traditional protocol (the "Trad" group). Methods Prospectively collected data on surgical endpoints (length of stay (LOS), return to theater (RTT), re-admission, and 30- and 90-day mortality) and medical complication...
