Sequential bilateral total knee arthroplasty.

As the senior citizen population has grown, the incidence of osteoarthritis and joint replacement has increased. Bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) can be performed sequentially during one anesthetic. Studies have shown the complication rates differ only slightly for total knee arthroplasty procedures performed sequentially during one anesthetic or separately requiring two hospitalizations. With the use of staggered tourniquet deflation times, efficient OR time and motion techniques, and careful postoperative management, patients can achieve successful outcomes after BTKA during one anesthetic.

Prevalence of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty through a posterolateral approach with partial capsulotomy and capsulorrhaphy.

The senior author altered his surgical technique during total hip arthroplasty from capsulectomy and capsulotomy with closure of the external rotator muscles to capsulotomy and capsulorrhaphy. One thousand patients (500 treated with each procedure) were studied retrospectively in order to determine the prevalences of dislocation after surgery with the two different techniques. The prevalence of dislocation was 2.8% after the capsulectomy and capsulotomy, whereas it was 0.6% after the new technique; this was a significant decrease in the rate of dislocation (p < 0.005, [symbol: see text] = 0.10).
