Prevalence of Total Hip and Knee Replacement in the United States
Conclusions: Around 7 million Americans are living with a hip or knee replacement, and consequently, in most cases, are mobile, despite advanced arthritis. These numbers underscore the substantial public health impact of total hip and knee arthroplasties. (Source: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery)

Femoral Head Penetration of Vitamin E-Infused Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Liners: A Randomized Radiostereometric Study of Seventy Hips Followed for Two Years
Conclusions: The femoral head penetration of E-poly was very low at two years. Whether the increase observed between three months and two years was caused by creep, deformation, wear, or a combination of these cannot be determined by our study. There were no significant differences observed in femoral head penetration rates between E-poly and ArComXL. Currently, the theoretical advantages of E-poly remain to be confirmed. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. (Source: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery)

Treatment of Congenital Vertical Talus: Comparison of Minimally Invasive and Extensive Soft-Tissue Release Procedures at Minimum Five-Year Follow-up
Conclusions: The minimally invasive treatment method for vertical talus resulted in better long-term ankle range of motion and pain scores compared with extensive soft-tissue release surgery. Longer-term studies are necessary to determine whether the improved outcomes are maintained into adulthood and whether the superior outcome is related to reduced scarring. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence. (Source: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery)

Outcomes of Endoscopic Gluteus Medius Repair: Study of Thirty-four Patients with Minimum Two-Year Follow-up
Conclusions: After a minimum of two years of follow-up, endoscopic surgical repair with correction of intra-articular pathological conditions was found to be an effective treatment for patients with a gluteus medius tear.

Time to Surgery Is Associated with Thirty-Day and Ninety-Day Mortality After Proximal Femoral Fracture: A Retrospective Observational Study on Prospectively Collected Data from the Danish Fracture Database Collaborators
Conclusions: In this study, a surgical delay of more than twelve hours significantly increased the adjusted risk of thirty-day mortality and a surgical delay of more than twenty-four hours significantly increased the adjusted risk of ninety-day mortality. The adjusted risk of both thirty-day and ninety-day mortality increased significantly when the education level of the surgeon was below that of an attending surgeon. The study findings challenge orthopaedic departments to facilitate fast surgical treatment supported by attending orthopaedic surgeons. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors fo...
