@rkh_md Very good results so far at our place. We just started our RCT, looking at allergy and cosmesis.

Anyone have experience with the Sylke dressing? I like Prineo - wondering if this could take away the rare hypersensitivity reaction...

Love following @DeviceNation - I didn’t get to go to @AAOS1 annual meeting this year, but I still get to see all of the coolest new tech that industry has to offer. Strong work Kevin

@KyleNuland We have noticed increased reactions to Exofin glue even without their mesh. Our initial Sylke trial was very promising. RCT to hopefully start soon.

Who is using Prineo for TJA closure? Any increase in localized reactions recently? I have spoken with several local colleagues who have noticed an uptick?

@jointdocShields Definitely lengthen the first side, easier to match with second and have good stability. Have to explain and prepare the patient for it.

When staging bilateral THA Do you replace one and keep lengths same or intentionally lengthen the one side with plans to catch them up on the second side?

@jointdocShields Patients referred to me with prior resurfacing report much easier recovery with primary THA and revision of resurfacing to THA than their original procedure. I wonder if high volume resurfacing surgeons have a different experience.

But why? Hip resurfacing to me feels like a scam. It is marketed as “bone preserving” but the cup size needs to match the femoral head so typically you end up putting a larger cup than you would have with a THA - so you are losing acetab bone stock. Hard pass
The Journal of Arthroplasty@JArthroplasty

The ceramic-on-ceramic resurfacing at 2yr postop demonstrates promising results with satisfactory outcomes in all recorded PROMs. Long-term data are needed to support the widespread adoption of this prosthesis as an alternative to other HRA bearings. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-…

@RoshanaMN The job is amazing and it also really sucks. You think about the one time things didn’t go well 99% of the time and never think about the 100 times it went perfectly

It’s funny, ‘becoming’ a surgeon Going through all the emotions and slow realisation that some cases are difficult even for the most experienced, that complications happen and they sometimes may be at the tips of our own fingers and that you can’t fix it all How do we cope?

@jointdocShields Cement doesn’t like shear force. Stubby stem would help, but it wouldn’t even fit with this alignment. I would be shocked if this lasts 15 years. I suspect a press fit tibia may lost longer in this scenario? What do you think?

These X-rays are from another app, citing the amazing advantages of unrestricted KA TKA I am really worried about early aseptic loosening and failure. Certainly easier to balance, but rarely do I find that easier equals better - thoughts from #orthotwitter

@jointdocShields I have embraced the medial pivot concept, and a “restricted KA/functional” alignment concept, but I worry about this extreme component alignment.

Have you ever seen a 36 mm native head ? I saw it today. Fortunately patient didn’t need a bipolar 😰 #Orthotwitter

@centerofhip I probably would have made decision based on prefracture amount of pain. If no pain before fracture, would fix. If was painful and already seeking TKA, then would DFR.

59 year old with advanced RA. Mobile independently but limited to indoors only. No Intercondylar extension. Fix now and replace later? Distal femur? TKR with a stem?

@BrianChalmersMD Agree with this study but also think you can over do the offset. Too much offset can also lead to lateral hip pain and patients will perceive their hip as chronically “swollen” since it’s more prominent.

Love this study as it supports something I believe - in my opinion, low offset leads to abductor undertension, elevated work needed and troch bursitis/abductor tendonopathy - opposite of what we have been taught causes lateral hip pain - plus offset powerful for hip stability!
The Journal of Arthroplasty@JArthroplasty

Reducing hip offset may result in worse physical function scores compared to those who have matched or increased hip offset. This should be considered intraop, and efforts should be made to avoid reduced offset. arthroplastyjournal.org/article/S0883-… #VA by Dr. David Deckey
