In-hospital Complications Are More Likely to Occur After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Than After Locked Plating for Proximal Humeral Fractures
CONCLUSION: The increased in-hospital risk for major adverse events and surgical complications may moderate the enthusiasm associated with RTSA for proximal humeral fractures in patients 65 years and older. Treatment decisions should be based on individual risk estimation to avoid potential harmful events. Future studies must include long-term outcomes and quality of life to enlighten these findings in a broader context.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.PMID:33938479 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000001776

Are Patients Who Undergo THA for Infection at Higher Risk for 30-day Complications?
CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing revision THA for infection undergo reoperation and experience major complications more frequently in a 30-day episode of care than patients undergoing aseptic revision THA. Without risk adjustment to existing alternative payment and quality reporting models, providers may experience a disincentive to care for patients with infected THAs, who may face difficulties with access to care. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study. PMID: 31268424 [PubMed - in process]

What Adverse Events and Injuries Are Cited in Anesthesia Malpractice Claims for Nonspine Orthopaedic Surgery?
CONCLUSIONS: Nonspine orthopaedic anesthesia malpractice claims more frequently cited nerve injury and events arising from the use of regional anesthesia than other surgical anesthesia malpractice claims. This may reflect the frequency of regional anesthesia in orthopaedic cases rather than increased risk of injury associated with regional techniques. When neuraxial procedures and anticoagulation regimens are used concurrently, care pathways should emphasize clear lines of responsibility for coordination of care and early investigation of any unusual neurologic findings that might indicate neuraxial hematoma. We do not hav...

What Is the Timing of General Health Adverse Events That Occur After Total Joint Arthroplasty?
CONCLUSIONS: As lengths of hospital stay after TJA continue to decrease, our findings suggest that caution is in order because several acute and immediately life-threatening findings, including myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism, might occur after discharge. Furthermore, the timing of surgical site infection and sepsis suggests that even the 30-day followup afforded by the ACS-NSQIP may not be sufficient to study the latest occurring adverse events. Additionally, both pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis tend to occur earlier after TKA than THA, and this should guide clinical surveillance efforts in patien...
