Alendronate prevents femoral periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty: Prospective randomized double-blind study

“…Analysis of the Norwegian national hip register suggested that patients who underwent THA due to femoral neck fracture 1 or those on corticosteroid medication 2 had a higher incidence of aseptic implant loosening compared to patients with THA due to osteoarthritis. The fact that femoral neck fracture and corticosteroid medication are commonly associated with weak bone suggests that a weak bone stock and regional bone loss contribute to the risk of aseptic THA loosening.…”

Alcohol Use in Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty: Risk or Benefit?

“…Excessive alcohol consumption has been associated with complications after surgery [9,16]. However, Espehaug et al [7] in a matched case-control study reported the association of alcohol intake with revision risk to be J-shaped, where the lowest risk occurred among moderate drinkers and the highest risk among patients having a consumption of more than four units/week. This type of relationship has also been established with total mortality [6].…”

“…Di Castelnuovo et al [6], in a meta-analysis, found consumption of up to four drinks/day in men and two drinks/day in women was inversely associated with total mortality. Espehaug et al [7], in a matched case-control study with 674 revised hips as cases and 1343 hips as controls (primary), reported the alcohol intake association with revision risk to be J-shaped; the lowest risk was among moderate drinkers and the highest risk was among patients who consumed more than four units/week. Gmel et al [8] also found the curve depicting the consumption relationship with mortality was influenced by a combination of beneficial and harmful effects.…”

Arthroplasty Knee Surgery and Alcohol Use: Risk Factor or Benefit?

“…Results remained predictive of lower mortality after adjusting for propensity to drink and other potential confounders. Espehaug et al [8] determined patient-related factors and early risk of revision after THA performing a matched case-control study with 674 revised hips as cases and 1343 hips as controls (primary). The intake association with revision risk was found to be J-shaped; the lowest risk was among moderate drinkers and the highest among patients who consumed more than four units/week.…”
