A rare case of Haemophilus parainfluenzae periprosthetic joint infection: A case report with literature review.

Introduction: Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a common commensal of the upper respiratory tract and is an extremely rare cause of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI).

Case Presentation: A 92-year-old male presented with five days of right knee pain, reduced knee range of motion and raised inflammatory markers. He was diagnosed with a right total knee arthroplasty (TKA) PJI caused by Haemophilus parainfluenzae via knee aspiration fluid culture and was treated with debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR).

Outcomes of total hip replacement in adults with septic arthritis of the native hip joint: A systematic review.

Background: Septic arthritis is a debilitating condition that results in joint destruction and irreversible loss of joint function. Surgical treatment options include arthroscopy, resection arthroplasty, and total hip replacement (THR). Current literature on the treatment of septic arthritis of various joints includes periprosthetic or native joints.

Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic surgical intervention in femoroacetabular impingement amongst the Asian population: A meta-analysis.

Importance: In Asian populations, increased prevalence of hip dysplasia as well as activities of daily living which require increased hip range of motion, such as squatting, may impact outcomes of arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) when compared to their Western counterparts. Existing literature lacks a comprehensive review and synthesis of knowledge focusing on outcomes of arthroscopic intervention for FAI in the Asian population.

Objective: To conduct the first systematic review and meta-analysis that examines outcomes of arthroscopic intervention in Asian patients with FAI.

Anatomic risk factors for arthroscopic Bankart repair failure: A case-control study comparing failure and non-failure groups in an Asian population.

Introduction: Post-arthroscopic Bankart repair failure/re-dislocation rates are influenced by several risk factors, including anatomic defects. There is limited evidence on the role of anatomic defects, especially for Hill-Sachs size in on-track lesions. This study aimed to assess glenoid bone loss, Hill-Sachs lesion and labral tear size and evaluate their contribution to post-operative instability after a primary repair.
