Robotic-assisted technologies have been developed to increase surgical precision and reduce surgical variability in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several different robotic systems have been introduced in the last decade for TKA. The DePuy Synthes VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution (VRAS) is an imag...
revision total hip arthroplastytotal joint replacementBackground ICD-10 was adopted by the United States on October 1st, 2015 and expanded coding from 3,800 codes with ICD-9-PCS to 73,000. The increase in number of codes was designed to create more accurate representations of procedures like ...
In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), tourniquet use has become a standard procedure to reduce blood loss and obtain a bloodless surgical field for soft tissue resections, osteotomies, and the implantation of prostheses1,2. However, tourniquets use always carries potential risk of nerve and soft tiss...
1 Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) occur in 0.6% to 3.0% of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) cases2,3 and contribute to postoperative mortality, morbidity, and health care spending.4-10 Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk is determined by ...
This was a single institutional study of 35,963 primary and revision total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients operated between 2009 and 2020. Fifty-six variables related to demographics, comorbidities, operative factors as well as chemoprophylaxis were included in the analysis. The ...
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has been identified as a procedure with substantial variations in inpatient and postacute care payments. Most studies in this area have focused primarily on the Medicare population and rarely have characterized the younger commercially insured populations. Understanding the ...
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are among the most severe complications following total hip arthroplasty revision (THAR), imposing significant burdens on individuals and society. This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of PPCs following THAR using the NIS database, identifying sp...
(ICD-9-CM procedure code 81.51) from 1997 to 2005 with no diagnosis code indicating a prior knee or hip arthroplasty (ICD-9-CM V43.64 and V43.65). THA and TKA were studied together because they are performed by a similar cohort of surgeons on patients who are of similar demographics and...
Prolonged length of stay (LOS) after elective total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty is often associated with worse patient outcomes. Social support through room-sharing has been identified as a factor that may reduce LOS in a hospital setting, but has not yet been examined in an ortho...
