Bull Hosp Jt Dis (2013) . 2016 Nov; 74(4):287-292. PMID: 27815952
Background: The incidence of distal femoral periprosthetic fractures associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been reported as 0.3% to 2.5%. This study examined the incidence of distal femoral periprosthetic...

Riesgo A, Hochfelder J, Adler E, Slover J, Specht L, Iorio R
J Arthroplasty . 2015 Jul; 30(12):2260-3. PMID: 26220105
We retrospectively reviewed 161 revision THAs with diaphyseal fitting, mid-modular femoral components performed by ten surgeons at two academic medical centers. The average follow-up was 6.1 years. At final follow-up,...

J Arthroplasty . 2011 Nov; 27(5):726-9.e1. PMID: 22054905
Patients with diabetes have a higher incidence of infection after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) than patients without diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels are a marker for blood glucose control in...

Sharma S, Iorio R, Specht L, Davies-Lepie S, Healy W
Clin Orthop Relat Res . 2009 Aug; 468(1):135-40. PMID: 19680735
Unlabelled: Preemptive and multimodal pain control protocols have been introduced to enhance rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We determined the complication rate associated with preoperative femoral nerve block (FNB)...

J Arthroplasty . 2009 Mar; 25(2):309-13. PMID: 19303251
The purpose of this study was to compare initial stability and late migration of 775 cementless acetabular components with and without screw fixation. Screw fixation was used in 509 cups...
