Article Abstract

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication after joint arthroplasty. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between laboratory tests and PJI and establish a nomogram for predicting risks of PJI after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Materials And Methods: The clinical data of patients who underwent THA from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and relevant clinical information of patients was collected; independent risk factors associated with PJI were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were drawn to analyze the specificity and sensitivity of each risk factor. Risk factors are included in the nomogram. Calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the predictive accuracy and discriminability of the model.

Results: A total of 589 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 87 were eventually diagnosed with PJI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, D-dimer, and platelet count were independent risk factors for PJI after THA. The ROC curve analysis model of multivariate combined diagnosis had good diagnostic value, sensitivity was 77.01%, and specificity was 75.51%. The calibration curve shows good agreement between the prediction of the line graph and the actual observed results. The decision curve shows that the nomogram has a net clinical benefit.

Conclusions: The changes in serum C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, polymorphonuclear neutrophils, D-dimer, and platelet count are related to the occurrence of PJI after hip arthroplasty. The nomogram prediction model established in this study is promising for the screening of PJI after hip arthroplasty.

Level Of Evidence: Level III evidence. Non-randomized controlled cohort/follow-up study.

Bone mineral density assessment using radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry (REMS) in patients before and after total hip replacement.

Unlabelled: REMS-BMD by radiofrequency echographic multispectrometry is primarily determined by a patient's BMI, age, and sex. Only about 2.8% of the changes in femoral neck REMS-BMD can be attributed to replacement of the total hip with metal implants.

Background: As a common postoperative neurological complication, postoperative delirium (POD) can lead to poor postoperative recovery in patients, prolonged hospitalization, and even increased mortality. However, POD's mechanism remains undefined and there are no reliable molecular markers of POD to date. The present work examined the associations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 with CSF POD biomarkers, and investigated whether the effects of CSF sTREM2 on POD were modulated by the core pathological indexes of POD (Aβ42, tau, and ptau).

The impact of surgeons' visual angle misperception on acetabular cup positioning accuracy: a retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Background: Precise acetabular cup placement in total hip arthroplasty (THA) heavily relies on surgeons' visual judgment of angles. However, whether inherent visual angle misperception among surgeons affects surgical outcomes remains unclear. This study is the first to reveal that surgeons universally exhibit visual angle misperception, a key factor causing the cup implant positioning deviations in THA.

Background: Revision hip arthroplasty is associated with significant blood loss and a subsequent need for blood transfusion. Intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) is a method of recovering a patient's blood for autologous transfusion. This potentially reduces the need for allogenic blood transfusion (ABT), thus avoiding associated risk and expense.

Obturator hernia presenting with intestinal obstruction: A case study and CT imaging insights.

Radiol Case Rep

Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, Fundación Cardioinfantil-Instituto de Cardiología, St. 163a #13B-60, Bogotá, Colombia.

Obturator hernia is a rare but clinically significant cause of intestinal obstruction, particularly in elderly, thin women due to their anatomical predisposition. We present the case of a 79-year-old female with a history of hypertension and hip arthroplasty who developed acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and absence of flatus and bowel movements. Imaging with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a right obturator hernia containing a small bowel loop, causing intestinal obstruction without signs of ischemia.
