Purpose: For end stage arthritis of the hip joint, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the treatment of choice. Dual mobility (DM) liner is an implant designed to provide enhanced stability. Long-term effects and implant survivability remain areas of active research despite modern advancements in increased jump distance and dislocation reductions. The aim of this study is to understand the current research landscape and emerging trends through a bibliometric analysis of DM THA. Materials and Methods: An analysis of THA DM publications from between 1982-2022 was conducted through an extensive review of Web of Science Core Collection literature. To identify key trends, contributions, and thematic areas of focus, data on publications, authors, institutions, and countries were extracted and analyzed. Results: The bibliographic search identified 314 articles, with a notable increase in publications over the period of study. Globally, the leading contributors were France and the USA. The analysis highlighted the Journal of Arthroplasty as the most relevant journal. Research themes included mechanical complications, comparative outcomes, metallosis, and corrosion concerns. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive DM THA research landscape overview highlighting postoperative outcome value. In an effort to guide future research, contributors, sources, and thematic trends were analyzed.

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA), a commonly performed surgical procedure for management of end-stage osteoarthritis, is considered minimally invasive and the popularity of the direct anterior approach (DAA) is increasing. The objective of this study is to analyze the current literature on DAA THA through conduct of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection was conducted for identification of articles published between 1993 and 2022. Specific keywords associated with hip replacement and the anterior approach were used as an attempt to identify articles published in scientific journals. Results: As a result of the analysis, 743 articles were linked to DAA THA. The highest number of annual publications was reported for 2021, with 120 articles, followed by 2022 with 113 articles, 2020 with 104 articles, and 2018 with 69 articles. The United States led in contributions with 34.1% in production. The Medical University of Innsbruck contributed the highest number of studies with 263 articles, followed by the University of Ottawa with 229. The Journal of Arthroplasty emerged as the most influential journal with 903 articles and 4,571 citations. Keywords including “dislocation,” “posterior approach,” and “revision” were used frequently in 2015-2020, along with the increasing emphasis on perioperative complications and comparing different approaches. Conclusion The findings of this analysis provide helpful insights into the current attitude regarding DAA THA research, highlighting emerging trends and guiding the direction of future research. The increasing scientific production reflects growing interest in DAA THA.

Trochanteric fractures of the femur pose an increasing burden for elderly people. The standard treatment for these types of fractures includes cephalomedullary nailing, which can be augmented with cement. Although many studies have reported on the stability of this augmented construct, few studies have examined its clinical benefit and safety. Therefore, the objective of this meta-analysis is to examine the perioperative complications and postoperative mortality associated with cement-augmented nails in the management of intertrochanteric and pertrochanteric fractures of the hip. A search of PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-20) until January 2024 was conducted. Analysis of the outcomes included perioperative complications and postoperative mortality. Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. Fewer perioperative complications were observed when using a cemented femoral nail (P=0.002), although there was no difference in postoperative mortality (P=0.30). This meta-analysis is the first to assess the safety of a cement-augmented femoral nail in management of intertrochanteric and pertrochanteric fractures. The results showed a reduced rate of perioperative complications, which may be attributed to a more a solid construct, which reduced the duration of postoperative immobilization as well as use of a proper augmentation technique, resulting in a reduced rate of cement-associated complications.

Rotator cuff disease is highly prevalent and can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of affected patients. One of the most common complaints from rotator cuff disease is sleep disturbance due to shoulder pain. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the relationship between rotator cuff disease and sleep disturbance, but results are inconsistent and limited. In this setting, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) plays an important role in preoperative assessment and evaluation of sleep in rotator cuff patients. However, despite the current efforts, the literature presents conflicting results regarding the relationships between magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of rotator cuff tear and PSQI score, signifying a gap in understanding. That being said, it has been shown that rotator cuff repair surgery can alleviate sleep disturbances witnessed preoperatively in and can restore quality of life.
