AAOS guidelines for prophylaxis of thromboembolic events lead to minimized adverse outcomes
Use of the first-generation American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines gave rise to a low incidence of clinically important thromboembolic events in total hip and total knee arthroplasty patients and effectively minimized adverse outcomes, according to study results. Read more

Abstract

Traumatic fracture-dislocation of the hip usually warrants prompt management by closed manipulative reduction. In some patients, debris malpositioned between the femoral head and the acetabular dome obstructs a completely concentric reduction of the injured hip...

The Radiologist’s Perspective

Currently, imaging-guided closed biopsy with ultrasonography (Figure 1) or computed tomography (CT) (Figure 2) is the gold standard for musculoskeletal tumors because of low cost, low risk of tumor spread and contamination, and minimal invasiveness for the patient.2 Imaging-guided closed biopsy increases the accuracy and reduces the risk of complications of the biopsy, especially for deep-seated tumors...
