Current Failure Mechanisms After Knee Arthroplasty Have Changed: Polyethylene Wear Is Less Common in Revision Surgery
Conclusions: Aseptic loosening, instability, malalignment, and periprosthetic infection continue to be the primary failure mechanisms leading to revision surgery. Contrary to previous literature, the results in the present study showed a substantial reduction in implant-associated revisions such as those due to polyethylene wear. Failure mechanisms that occur persistently early and in the intermediate term, such as periprosthetic infection, instability, and malalignment, remain common causes of revision surgery. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of e...

Clinically Relevant Effectiveness of Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized, Controlled Multicenter Study
Conclusions: The results of the present study provide proof of the clinically relevant effect size of focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy without local anesthesia in the treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis, with success rates between 50% and 65%. 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)

2014 Austrian-Swiss-German Fellowship
Abstract: The Austrian-Swiss-German (ASG) Traveling Fellowship, started in 1979, is a unique opportunity for surgeons from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to travel for an extended period to premier orthopaedic surgery sites throughout Austria, Switzerland, and Germany every other year. In turn, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom host representatives from Austria, Switzerland, and Germany in the intervening years. In 2014, three of us were chosen to participate: Dr. Ahmad Nassr from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and Dr. James Slover from NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, NY...

Establishing a Fracture Liaison Service: An Orthopaedic Approach
Bone health evaluations should be incorporated into care pathways for fragility fractures in all patients who are fifty years of age or older. A fracture liaison service (FLS) is an established and proven method to achieve recommended standards of care for fragility fractures, including intervention for osteoporosis, secondary fracture prevention, and bone health evaluation. The FLS facilitates patient care by automatically including all patients with a fragility fracture within a health-care system to provide them with the intervention that they need and to prevent avoidable fracture-related complications or readmission...
