this report is on a migration of a steinman pin into the posterior com department of the calf. it was used to fix a greater trochanteric osteotomy in a total hip arthroplasty. the puzzling note is how this metal piece passed through the anterolateral compartment of the thigh to the posterior compartment of the calf. accord ing to our literature review, migration of fixation pins through the kne...

The success of total knee arthroplasty depends in part on proper soft tissue management to achieve a stable joint. It is unknown to what degree total knee arthroplasty changes joint stability. We used a surgical navigation system to intraoperatively measure joint stability in 24 patients under going primary total knee arthroplasty to address two questions: (1) Is the total arc of varus-valgus m...

A cadaver model was used to test the hypothesis that glenohumeral joint stability is independent of articular surface conformity after total shoulder arthroplasty. For the purposes of this study joint stability was defined as the minimum force required for joint dislocation. After arthroplasty components were implanted into fresh-frozen glenohumeral joints, specimens were mounted on a load fram...

Clinical Question : Is there a relationship between resilience and self-reported function in patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty? Bottom Line There is inconsistent, good-quality Level II evidence that investigates the after arthroplasty.
