With the leg fully extended, a vertical incision typically less than 10 cm is made over the anteromedial aspect of the knee, from the proximal patella down to the tibial tubercle. After the muscle fibers are spread, the knee is then flexed to 70-90 degrees, the patella is subluxed,...
Background: Advancements in oncologic care have increased the longevity of patients who have multiple myeloma, although outcomes beyond the early postoperative period following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain unknown. This study investigated the influence of preoperati...
ICD-10 codes have a length of 7 alphanumerical characters. Each one of the positions of the code represents one aspect of the procedure: First = Section (0 = Surgical); Second = Organic system (S= Lower joints); Third = Type of procedure (R = Replacement/G ...
