A retrospective cohort study of adults ≥50 undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty linked tirzepatide to lower 2-year PJI risk versus other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
A 3-hospital cohort analysis found periprosthetic joint infection was the leading cause of failure after primary TKA, with no improvement in a 23-year-period despite fewer mechanical failures.
A 106-patient RCT found no significant improvement in reconstruction accuracy or 12-month outcomes when imageless navigation was added to CT-based planning for primary THA.
A mixed-methods study of 676 US facilities found baseline PROM capture increased from 79% before the CMS mandate to 88% in 2024 among THA and TKA patients.
A double-blinded RCT of 100 primary robotic TKA patients found better Forgotten Joint and WOMAC scores with functional versus mechanical alignment at 1–2 years.
A retrospective study of 2,092 revision TKAs found poorer patient-reported outcomes following revision for arthrofibrosis and malalignment, with better scores for polyethylene wear and aseptic loosening.
