@KyleNuland We have noticed increased reactions to Exofin glue even without their mesh. Our initial Sylke trial was very promising. RCT to hopefully start soon.
@jointdocShields Definitely lengthen the first side, easier to match with second and have good stability. Have to explain and prepare the patient for it.
@jointdocShields Patients referred to me with prior resurfacing report much easier recovery with primary THA and revision of resurfacing to THA than their original procedure. I wonder if high volume resurfacing surgeons have a different experience.
@jointdocShields I have embraced the medial pivot concept, and a “restricted KA/functional” alignment concept, but I worry about this extreme component alignment.
@centerofhip I probably would have made decision based on prefracture amount of pain. If no pain before fracture, would fix. If was painful and already seeking TKA, then would DFR.
@BrianChalmersMD Agree with this study but also think you can over do the offset. Too much offset can also lead to lateral hip pain and patients will perceive their hip as chronically “swollen” since it’s more prominent.
