Abstract Objective To examine whether long-term opioid use after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with subsequent risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality in patients with kn...

Aims: The aims were to assess the influence of tibial bone mineral density (BMD) and cement viscosity on cement mantle thickness in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine whether BMD is a more dominant factor th...

Aims: Preoperative education is routinely integrated into enhanced recovery pathways for hip and knee arthroplasty, yet its independent effect on early outcomes remains uncertain. This study examined whether completion o...

Abstract Background Some studies regarding patients complaining of residual pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) showed pain scores improvement using genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA). This prompted the...

Aims: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) allows immediate weightbearing and avoids challenges associated with secondary arthroplasty following conservative management or failed fixation of tibial plateau fractures (TPFs). Met...

Background and purpose: Patient satisfaction after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) is influenced by multiple factors, including patient-reported pain and function. We aimed to examine whether functional abili...

Background: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient reported outcomes in terms of overall satisfaction, improvement in pain...

Background: Hip and knee joint arthroplasty in many low- and middle-income countries has lengthy waiting lists as trauma-related procedures are prioritised. A comprehensive care pathway that includes prehabilitation can...

Abstract Introduction The learning curve refers to the relationship between a learner's execution of a task and the number of attempts or time necessary to perform it in a predictable, reliable, and optimal fashion. The ...

Background: The growth in popularity of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has far outpaced that of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A major challenge with UKA is symptomatic progression of osteoarthritis (OA), which...

Aims: Arthroplasty generates the most waste among the sub-specialties of orthopaedic surgery. Infectious waste generates ten times more CO2 than recycled waste, and over 90% of it is misallocated. This multicentre study ...

Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the hip and knee are widely used surgical treatments for advanced cases of osteoarthritis. Despite its effectiveness, disparities in outcomes based on socioeconomic and geogr...

Abstract Background Despite improvements in pain and function following total knee replacement (TKR), most patients do not achieve recommended levels of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), putting them at increas...

ABSTRACT Purpose Ligament tension balance is essential for successful and long‐term implant survival of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conventional manual tensioning methods are subjective and vary with the surgeon exp...

ABSTRACT Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple index for evaluating malnutrition, but whether it contributes to the development of prosthesis aseptic loosening (PAL) after total joint arthrop...

Aim: Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are severe complications of joint arthroplasty, and their management has become increasingly complex in the era of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the microb...
