The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint #infection (PJI) is challenging. Recently, D-dimer has become a promising biomarker in diagnosing PJI. However, there is controversy regarding its diagnostic value https://t.co/Ou1s7MsMj5 #orthopedics #research

It was a pleasure interviewing with Dr. Axel. If you are someone considering surgery or in some stage in the knee replacement journey, I hope you find this interview informative and beneficial!

Robotic-arm assisted total #hip #arthroplasty (THA) is associated with improved accuracy in restoring the native centre of rotation, better preservation of combined offset & more precise acetabular component positioning compared with manual THA https://t.co/gqHEYWXjZi #openaccess

[The Journal of Arthroplasty @JArthroplasty]

Is there anyone getting 'nutrition' labs on all of their patients prior to a primary #TKA or #THA? This article by @Harpal_Khanuja and his team @HopkinsOrtho suggest it is unnecessary. If you do get nutrition labs- who do you decide benefits from them?

Very cool.
I wonder how we can integrate this into clinical practice and get clinicians on board with using this technology. I also wonder how it could be deployed in low-resource settings.
Exciting developments and big challenges!
