Letter to the Editor on “Dislocation Following Anterior and Posterior Total Hip Arthroplasty in the Setting of Spinal Deformity and Stiffness: Evolving Trends Using a High-Risk Protocol at a Single Tertiary Center”
This study concluded that in patients who have spinal stiffness, classified as the 2B-hip spine group, the history of lumbar fusion is significantly associated with a higher dislocation rate, while the surgical approach and utilizing dual mobility bearing were not significantly associated with the risk of dislocation.

Present and Future Optimization of Orthopaedic Care Through Machine Learning Algorithms
In recent years, the editorial team at The Journal of Arthroplasty has had the privilege of evaluating and publishing a growing volume of high-quality scientific material pertaining to artificial intelligence (AI). While technology has long supported orthopaedic consultation, new research is exploring recent advancements in AI to apply to orthopaedic care. Machine learning (ML), a subdomain of AI, has gained traction in orthopaedic surgery fields worldwide. The potential of AI in orthopaedic surgery extends far beyond conventional practices, offering innovative improvements during consultations. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)

What ’s New in Periprosthetic Femur Fractures?
This article provides a review of a symposium on PFF that was presented at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) 2023 annual meeting, including an overview of the Vancouver classification and its implications on treatment and subsequent complications, an updated approach to the management of intraoperative fractures, and finally, contemporary strategies for both osteosynthesis as well as revision arthroplasty for periprosthetic femur fractures.

Preoperative Symptoms of Depression are Associated with Worse Capability 6-weeks and 6-months After Total Hip Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis
This study investigated whether preoperative symptoms of depression (measured with the PHQ-2) correlated with levels of incapability 6 weeks and 6 months after THA, accounting for demographic and clinical factors. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)

Time to Achieve the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: Comparison of Anterior and Posterior Surgical Approaches
This study aimed to compare the time to achieve the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global-Physical for patients who underwent anterior and posterior surgical approaches in primary THA.

Femoral Component Debonding Frequently Missed on Advanced Imaging Prior to Revision of a Recalled Total Knee Arthroplasty
Identification of femoral component debonding in the work-up of painful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often poses a diagnostic challenge. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identifying femoral component loosening with debonding at the time of revision of a primary TKA with a recalled polyethylene insert.

Decreased Instability in High-Risk (Hip-Spine 2B) Patients After Modifications of Surgical Planning and Technique
Patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) who have spinal deformity and a stiff spine are the highest-risk group for instability. Despite the increasing use of dual-mobility cups and large femoral heads, dislocation remains a major complication after THA. Preoperative planning becomes a critical aspect of ensuring precise component positioning within a safe zone. The purpose of this study was to investigate dislocation rates over a 9-year period.

Biofilm Growth on Orthopaedic Cerclage Materials: Non-metallic Polymers Are Less Resistant to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Bacterial Adhesion
Data on bacterial adhesion to cerclage cables is sparse. We aimed to compare five cerclage products for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) adhesion to determine: Are non-metallic polymer cables more resistant to bacterial adhesion than common metallic wires and cables?

Metal Ion Release in Cancer Patients Following Megaprosthesis Salvage Surgery
Megaprostheses contain many more modular components than conventional total hip and knee arthroplasty, which may lead to higher serum levels of metal ions. The aim of this study was to determine serum concentrations of titanium, chromium, and cobalt ions in cancer patients after limb salvage surgery with a megaprosthesis.

Should Chronological Age be a Consideration in Patients Undergoing Elective Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty?
The optimal time for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires a balance between patient disability and health state in order to minimize complications. While chronological age has not been shown to be predictive of complications in elective surgical patients, there is a point beyond which even optimized elderly patients would be at increased risk for complications. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of chronological age on complications following primary TKA. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)
