Summary: This study investigated the demographics and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Jordan, with a specific focus on gender differences. The findings showed that females were more likely to have degenerative and dysplastic hip arthritis, required more blood transfusions during and after surgery, and had more comorbidities. These results suggest the importance of raising awareness about comorbidity management, preoperative smoking cessation, and perioperative blood transfusion management to improve medical and surgical outcomes.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the evidence on prehabilitation interventions for patients undergoing elective knee or hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Thirteen knee arthroplasty trials suggested that prehabilitation may improve strength and reduce hospital stay without increasing harms, but there was insufficient evidence for pain, range of motion, and daily activities. There was no evidence or insufficient evidence for all outcomes of hip arthroplasty.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the benefits and harms of rehabilitation interventions for patients who underwent elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The findings suggest that diverse rehabilitation programs may not differ in terms of harm risk or outcomes of pain, strength, activities of daily living, or quality of life. Further research is needed to identify the most effective attributes of rehabilitation programs for different outcomes.

Summary: This systematic literature review investigates the influence of body mass index (BMI) on functional recovery after total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR). The findings show that obesity has a certain impact on functional recovery in the short-term, medium-term, and long-term after THR or TKR.

Summary: Despite good clinical outcomes, deficits in gait biomechanics persist 2 years after total hip replacement surgery for patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis. The study aimed to group patients showing similar gait adaptations and investigate the effect of surgery on gait kinematics and external joint forces. Results showed that patients with poorer preoperative gait patterns had worse gait kinematics after surgery, indicating the need for further research on tailored rehabilitation programs.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the impact of unilateral hip osteoarthritis on hip muscle volume and fatty infiltration, as well as the changes in muscles after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The results showed that preoperatively, the affected side had smaller muscle volume and higher fatty infiltration compared to the healthy side. However, after THA, the affected side showed a significant increase in muscle volume, suggesting muscle recovery.

Summary: This study compared perioperative complications among different types of inflammatory arthropathies (IAs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The results showed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had significantly more postoperative complications compared to patients with primary osteoarthritis (OA). However, the differences in complications between other IA subtypes and primary OA, as well as between different IA subtypes, were minimal.

Summary: This study evaluated trends in the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients under 21 years of age in the United States. The number of THAs in this age group has increased over the past 20 years, with procedures increasingly performed in urban teaching hospitals. Osteonecrosis was the most common primary diagnosis, while the frequency of THA for inflammatory arthritis has been decreasing each year.

Summary: This review compares the hip dislocation rates of dual mobility components in patients undergoing primary THA for primary osteoarthritis using different surgical approaches: DAA, ALA, DLA, and PLA. After screening 63 eligible studies, it was found that patients undergoing primary THA with dual mobility implants rarely experience postoperative dislocation, regardless of surgical approach.

Summary: The study found that a proportion of younger polytrauma patients were exposed to high levels of radiation, thereby increasing the risk of developing cancer. The results suggest that Injury Severity Score, age, injury pattern, and length of hospital stay are predictive of both radiation exposure and cancer risk.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of cementless unicompartmental knee replacements (UKRs). The results showed that the 10-year reoperation and revision rates of cementless UKRs were low in all BMI groups, with no significant differences between the groups. Although the higher BMI groups had slightly worse functional outcomes, the improvement in function tended to be better compared to preoperative state.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of cemented and cementless Unicompartmental Knee Replacements (UKR) at 5 years post-surgery. The results showed that cementless UKR had better clinical outcomes, particularly in terms of pain relief, compared to cemented UKR. Both types of replacements were safe with low reoperation and complication rates, and a 5-year survival rate of 99%.

Summary: The study aimed to reduce the risk of dislocation in Oxford Domed Lateral replacements by using a robotic path-planning algorithm to determine the Vertical Distraction needed for Dislocation. Results showed that increasing bearing thickness can increase the risk of medial dislocation, while increasing wall height and keeping the bearing closer to the tibial wall can decrease the risk of dislocation in other directions.

Summary: This study investigates the use of the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) score in a young hip arthroplasty population and demonstrates its ability to capture additional benefits beyond the ceiling effect of conventional patient-reported outcome measures. The MET is normally distributed in patients following hip arthroplasty, recording levels of activity that are undetectable using the OHS.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the rate of radiolucent lines (RLLs) formation in the cemented original design of the ATTUNE total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and their relationship to loosening. A systematic search was conducted and 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed high rates of RLLs in the ATTUNE TKA, but low rates of loosening and revision. Close surveillance of patients who have undergone TKA with the original ATTUNE system is recommended.

Summary: The main indications for osteochondral allograft transplantation of the knee are full-thickness cartilage lesions, deep lesions with subchondral damage, and failed previous surgical procedures. The success of the transplantation depends on factors such as the type of lesion and age of the patient. OCA transplantation has shown a 75% success rate at 12 years follow-up.
