Nerve injury occurred at a rate of 0.03% after hip arthroplasty, 0.01% after knee arthroplasty, and 0.02% within 3 mos of arthroscopic knee surgery. Overall, nerve injuries were two times more prevalent in the diabetic vs. nondiabetic population (0.11% vs. 0.06%); however, this...
Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) is a standard and effective treatment to correct stiffness and improve range of motion (ROM) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Delayed MUA has been associated with increased rates of revision surgeries and infections. Early MUA has been shown to double ...
Patients in high- and low-revision hospitals have similar outcomes after primary knee arthroplasty: 1-year postoperative results from the Danish prospectiv... It is well-known that revision rates after primary knee arthroplasty vary widely. However, it is uncertain whether hospital revision rates are...

Introduction: In this study, we evaluate how race corresponds to specific complications and costs following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our hypothesis was that minority patients, comprising Black, Asian, and Hispanic patients, would have higher complication and revision rates ...
The incidence of and predisposing risk factors for prosthetic joint infection following knee arthroplasty in the Medicare population were investigated. Methods The Medicare 5% national sample database was employed to identify and continuously follow TJA patients between 1997-2006. ICD9 and CPT4 procedure...
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate outcomes in these patients, including: the rate of conversion of ORIF to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the relationship between elevated inflammatory markers after the initial ORIF and subsequent infection in TKA, and the rationale behind performing...
revision arthroplastyIt is well established that diabetic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are more susceptible to infection, problematic wound healing, and overall higher complication rates. However a paucity in current literature exists. The purpose of this study was to determine the ...
