Controversial Topics in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Five-Year Update (Part 2)

Abstract: To summarize a practical approach to the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in various patient groups undergoing orthopedic surgery or with lower extremity fractures. BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hip arthroplasty, knee arthroplasty, hip fracture surgery and patients with major lower extremity injuries are at particularly high risk for VTE. In this population, routine use of thromboprophylaxis has been standard-of-care for many years. Before thromboprophylaxis was widely used, deep vein thrombosis (D… Show more

“…However, few literature sources have evaluated the level of evidence (LOE) in the field of knee arthroplasty [8]. Even less studies evaluate shift of trends in research topics but only represent felt trends or experts’ agreements [1, 22]. Understanding changes in publishing characteristics over time, by topic, by origin and by gender are critical, especially with the rising demands of publishing in academia.…”

“…Although knee arthroplasty is a successful procedure to treat end‐stage osteoarthritis, 20% of patients are not satisfied with their outcome [15]. Therefore, notable variations and developments in surgical techniques with many controversies arose over time [22]. Especially as the number of knee arthroplasties is continuously rising worldwide, high‐quality research and evidence‐based recommendations are required to evaluate those techniques and improve outcome.…”

“…Tourniquet placement is routinely used in orthopedic surgery to provide bloodless eld and reduce intraoperative blood loss, which is an essential procedure in the process of lower extremity surgical operation including total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and fracture reduction [1][2][3]. However, tourniquet application leads to several complications associated with ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury to both local tissue and vital remote organs, even death [4,5].…”
