New research

  1. A Century of Orthopaedic Excellence with Global Impact: Instituto de Ortopedia y Traumatología "Carlos E. Ottolenghi" at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

    Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) · Sep 02 2026 · PubMed

    Argentine orthopaedic institute pioneered early adoption of bone allografting, hip/knee replacements, arthroscopy, and intramedullary nailing while establishing Latin America's leading academic center.

  2. Antibiotic Elution from PMMA Over 60 Days: an in vitro Study of 21 antibiotic combinations against C. acnes and Coagulase Negative Staph. (CNS).

    Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery · Jul 15 2026 · PubMed

    Rifampin combined with vancomycin or other antibiotics provides optimal PMMA elution against C. acnes and CNS species for 60 days, supporting its use in shoulder prosthetic joint infection.

  3. Custom Pelvic Implants in Complex Total Hip Arthroplasty.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 15 2026 · PubMed

    Custom pelvic implants designed from CT data provide reliable fixation for severe acetabular bone loss with high survivorship and low mechanical failure in revision THA.

  4. Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Open Triradiate Cartilage: 10-Year Follow-Up of an Expanded Cohort.

    Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics · Jul 14 2026 · PubMed

    Total hip arthroplasty in patients with open triradiate cartilage demonstrates excellent 10-year outcomes with 92% implant survivorship and independent ambulation.

  5. Ambulatory Surgery Center Contracts and Operating Agreements: A Surgeon-Focused Framework for Orthopaedic Practice Management.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 13 2026 · PubMed

    Surgeon-owned ambulatory surgery centers require disciplined contract management across operating agreements, managed care contracts, leases, and support services to preserve margins and autonomy.

  6. Trajectory of urinary incontinence symptoms following total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis.

    Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery · Jul 07 2026 · PubMed

    Urinary incontinence significantly improves within three months of THA but plateaus thereafter, with 62% experiencing persistent symptoms associated with worse pain and functional recovery.

  7. Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty Following Prior Internal Fixation: A Comparison with Primary and Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Jul 02 2026 · PubMed

    Conversion THA following prior fracture fixation shows outcomes between primary and revision THA, with higher transfusion rates and longer operative times.

  8. Primary total hip arthroplasty after prior osteosynthesis versus osteotomy : distinct risk profiles and the modifying effect of femoral fixation.

    The Bone & Joint Journal · Jul 01 2026 · PubMed

    Prior osteosynthesis denotes high-risk THA with increased revision, periprosthetic fracture, and infection risk; cemented fixation reduces adverse outcomes compared to cementless.

  9. Short-term survivorship of a novel acetabular component with a combination of non-locking and variable-angle locking screws in complex acetabular reconstruction.

    Hip International · Jul 01 2026 · PubMed

    Novel variable-angle locking screw acetabular component shows encouraging early survivorship with low aseptic loosening in complex and revision hip arthroplasty.

  10. Use of Zonal Fixation Therapy and Metal Augmentation for Rotating-Hinge Knee Arthroplasty in Charcot Arthropathy: A Comparative Study.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Jun 18 2026 · PubMed

    Zonal fixation theory effectively guides rotating-hinge TKA in Charcot arthropathy with 94% prosthesis survival at 60 months; metal augmentation provides viable bone defect reconstruction.

  11. A Contemporary Comparison of Modern Cementless to Cemented Femoral Stems for the Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Jun 15 2026 · PubMed

    Cemented femoral fixation reduced periprosthetic fractures but increased minor bone-cement syndrome; both fixation methods showed comparable overall safety for femoral neck fractures.

Recent reviews

  1. Antibiotic Holiday in 2-Stage Exchange for Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Scoping Review.

    Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) · Nov 19 2025 · PubMed

    Continuous antibiotic therapy demonstrates lower treatment failure rates than antibiotic holiday during 2-stage exchange for periprosthetic joint infection without requiring extended between-stage intervals.

  2. Traumatic Hip Dislocation: Pediatric and Adult Evaluation and Management.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jul 15 2024 · PubMed

    Traumatic hip dislocation is orthopaedic emergency requiring urgent reduction; pediatric anatomy differs, necessitating different management strategies than adults.

  3. Total Joint Arthroplasty Training (Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation) in Lower Extremity Arthroplasty.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jun 01 2022 · PubMed

    This review examines current prehabilitation and rehabilitation exercise protocols for lower extremity total joint arthroplasty, highlighting inconsistent evidence and guiding future research.

  4. Not All Robotic-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty Are the Same.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Jan 15 2021 · PubMed

    Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty improves component positioning and alignment precision, addressing technical errors and improving patient satisfaction rates.

  5. Antibiotic Stewardship for Total Joint Arthroplasty in 2020.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Sep 15 2020 · PubMed

    Antibiotic stewardship in total joint arthroplasty is challenged by heterogeneous evidence on selection, duration, delivery methods, and timing, requiring improved standardization.
