5-Minute Summary: Does Preoperative Suzetrigine Impact ASC Opioid Consumption For Total Joint Arthroplasty?

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) are some of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. Due to the soft tissue damage sustained intraoperatively, pain is a common occurrence which is frequently treated with opioid analgesics. Conventional wisdom still espouses large numbers of opioids for post-op pain relief. However, opioid related adverse events such as addiction, mental status changes, fall risk, and sedation remain a problem. Suzetrigine is a novel non-addictive FDA approved medication to treat acute pain. Lowering opioid use in the early phases of recovery has been shown to reduce long-term opioid use for patients.

5 -Minute Summary: High-Volume Total Joint Arthroplasty in Resource-Limited Settings: A Systems-Based Framework for International Surgical Collaboration

This review describes a systems-based framework for delivering high-volume total hip and knee arthroplasty in a resource-limited environment through long-term international collaboration.

5-Min Summary: A Look at the Outliers: Optimal Placement for Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

The purpose of this study was to identify pre- and post-operative radiographic measurements in patients who achieved excellent range of motion to optimize implant positioning in patients undergoing rTSA. We hypothesized that restoring the lateral humeral offset to closely align with the patient’s pre-operative anatomy, along with achieving optimal lateralization and distalization shoulder angles as outlined in the literature, would correlate with excellent clinical outcomes.

5-Min Summary: Computer Navigation in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty: National Utilization and Comparative Mid-Term Outcomes

Computer navigation (CN), with or without the use of robotics, is increasingly utilized in primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Although evidence supporting its clinical benefit remains limited, its role in the revision setting is even less defined. This study evaluates national utilization trends and compares 2-year implant-related complications of CN and conventional revision total hip (rTHA) and knee arthroplasty (rTKA).
