Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of complications, revisions, functional outcomes, blood loss, operative time and metal ions levels. The findings showed that RHA had significantly lower blood loss but longer operative time compared to THA. There was no significant difference in complications, revisions, functional outcomes, and metal ion levels between RHA and THA. Both RHA and THA were found to be safe and effective, with RHA being a valid alternative to THA in young and active patients.

Summary: Inactive patients achieve greater measure improvements following THA; active patients achieve better absolute outcomes than inactive patients; increasing activity levels do not incrementally improve patient-reported outcome measures.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or other complications after joint arthroplasty in patients who received preoperative corticosteroids injections. The study found a significant association between corticosteroids injections and PJI in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients, but no association in knee arthroplasty patients. Furthermore, the timing of the injections is important, and corticosteroids should not be administered within 3 months before hip arthroplasty.

Summary: This study aimed to assess pain and physical function after one- and five-years post-operatively in patients who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and bilateral THA simultaneously. The results showed that patients who underwent bilateral THA had slightly better physical function than those who underwent unilateral THA after one year; however, this difference was not clinically significant.

Summary: Revision surgery for instability within the first 3 months postoperatively is associated with higher risk of periprosthetic joint infection compared to later revisions. However, revisions performed within 9 months of the index surgery may have lower rates of subsequent instability than those performed after 12 months, possibly due to differences in acetabular revision and head-liner exchange rates.

Summary: This study aimed to identify mechanical failures in total hip arthroplasties performed at a major academic center and their associated risk factors. The results showed that there were different types of mechanical failures in 13 patients, and they were not related to participation in sports or BMI. Therefore, it is important to assess and screen patients for risk factors before surgery.

Summary: Patients with postpolio syndrome (PPS) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have a higher incidence of urinary tract infection, pneumonia, prosthetic dislocation, and hospital readmission. Additionally, the five-year incidence of revision arthroplasty is higher among PPS patients compared to those without PPS.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the wear of CoC and CoXLPE implants during gait, finding that both implants behave similarly in clinical settings. Gait kinematics and kinetics are essential for implant wear, with in vitro studies showing less wear in CoC than CoXLPE.

Summary: It is reported that the dissatisfaction rate after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is between 7% and 20%. Patient satisfaction has become a global public health problem. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and identify the main factors affecting patient satisfaction after THA. The review summarizes the main preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative factors that influence patient satisfaction.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the functional results, implant survivorship, and complications in AMC patients who underwent hip or knee arthroplasty. The results showed that TJR is a safe and effective procedure in AMC patients, improving function and reducing pain.

Summary: This study reveals emerging and worsening racial disparities in the utilization of outpatient total joint arthroplasty procedures between White and Black patients from 2011 to 2019. The findings emphasize the need for early intervention by orthopaedic surgeons and policy makers to address the growing inequities in access to care.

Summary: Total hip arthroplasty is increasingly common in younger patients who are working preoperatively. There is a need for an updated review of the literature regarding the rate and time to return to work.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Florida's opioid prescription limiting law on opioid prescription and perioperative outcomes after total joint arthroplasty. The results showed a significant decline in opioid prescription without an increase in rates of patient visits, phone calls, or readmission.

Summary: In comparing the long-term outcomes of 28-mm head M2a RingLoc MoM THA and 28-mm MoP THA, the study found no significant differences in survivorship rates. Further research is needed to assess the long-term effects of metal ion levels and radiological data before formal recommendations can be made.
