The aims of this study were to determine the incidence of block-related complications after adductor canal blocks (ACB) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), identify associated risk factors, and investigate if there were any differences in clinical outcomes.

Pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty heads are an alternate bearing surface compared to metal with favorable wear properties. Pyrocarbon has a high wear resistance, low friction and favorable modulus when compared to cortical bone. 

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic procedures globally, with wound closure playing a critical role in postoperative recovery and complication prevention. Despite advances, the optimal closure technique remains debated. This narrative review evaluates current wound closure techniques in TKA highlighting their biomechanical and clinical

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a major stabilizing structure of the flexion space, yet current evidence is inconclusive regarding change in gap laxity associated with its resection. This study aimed to describe the association between PCL resection and knee gap balancing using intra-operative robotic assessment.

The author reflects on what was, is, and will be in orthopaedics based on his fifty years in the field.

Lumbar spine fusion is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the operative management of adult degenerative spine disorders. The dual incision, mini-open TLIF surgery uses a minimally invasive surgical technique that decompresses neural elements through placement of an anterior interbody disc spacer and posterior stabilization with pedicle screws.

rofit margins for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) can vary significantly. Top decile ASCs have EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation allowance) profit margins exceeding 40%, while those in the bottom quartile struggle with EBITDA margins below 15%. Increasing ASC profitability is more important than ever for surgeons as the ASC income can help offset reductions in their earnings due to decreasing or stagnant payment rates combined with rising practice costs.

Pedometer data has been historically used as a metric of early mobilization and functional recovery after spine surgery. Wearable pedometers augment traditional patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after spine surgery. 

After sterile processing, orthopedic instrument trays are occasionally found to have retained bone from prior procedures. This study aims to assess the effect on heavily contaminated bioburden, adjacent tray, and instrument contamination risk of a standard medical facility sterile processing cycle for orthopedic instruments.

Orthopaedic care is limited in rural U.S. regions and globally. While telemedicine has improved access, barriers remain when clinicians must perform orthopaedic procedures without prior experience or in-person guidance. Off-grid augmented reality (AR) offers real-time visual feedback and support, potentially expanding orthopaedic care in underserved areas.
