The One With the Metal Allergy 🦿☕️
Could metal hypersensitivity be any more complicated?
This systematic review examined outcomes of metal hypersensitivity in knee arthroplasty. The evidence suggests we may all need to calm down about nickel.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat? 🧴
A new #ArthroplastyToday study of 45 hips and knees found ~3 in 4 patients treated with 1.5-stage arthroplasty needed no revision at 1 year, and only 6.7% were revised for surgical complications. The "repeat" step may be optional.
🦴 Post-THA hip pain? Femoral & global offset affect the risk of Ischiofemoral Impingement (IFI):
✅ Reduced space → structural impingement
✅ Abductor leverage ↓ → functional impingement

New in #JISAKOS: In severe, recurrent periprosthetic joint infection, knee arthrofixation with a modular intramedullary nail offered a limb-salvage alternative to amputation, with meaningful functional outcomes in a high-risk population.

Although a higher incidence of periprosthetic fractures was observed with dual-mobility components, the overall outcomes support their safe and effective use.

Systematic review and meta-analysis: Prophylactic TXA use was associated with lower intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and major bleeding without an observed increase in thromboembolic or mortality risk. https://t.co/1zvzFHQb7e
This study retrospectively analyzes a large series of cases to evaluate functional outcome, complications, and the overall efficacy of tumour resection reconstruction using diaphyseal prostheses.

The modular knee fusion nail spacer has favorable survivorship, acceptable reinfection rates, and low mechanical complication rates in patients who have chronic knee PJI, many of whom present with severe bone loss, soft-tissue compromise, and instability.
