Ultrasound- and fluoroscopy-guided hip aspiration before revision total hip arthroplasty: procedural outcomes and diagnostic accuracy in sequential cohorts
Background and purpose: Hip aspiration remains essential in the diagnostic work-up of a painful total hip arthroplasty (THA) to assess for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). In 2020, our institution transitioned from fluoroscopy-guide...

A comparison of revision risk between lateral knee replacement and total knee replacement: results from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register
Background and purpose: Lateral knee replacement is not commonly performed. Possible explanations are the lower incidence of lateral knee osteoarthritis, relative technical complexity, and different biomechanics, which may affect failure...
