First Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Instability: 10-Year Outcomes and Risk Factors Associated with Re-Revision
Jun 10, 2026
This study investigates the 10-year outcomes of first revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) performed for instability and identifies risk factors associated with re-revision. The findings reveal that approximately 30% of patients experience further revision within a decade, with dual mobility components showing better survivorship compared to constrained liners. Factors such as younger age, higher body mass index, and abductor deficiency are linked to increased risk of all-cause re-revision.
Aspirin is Associated with Improved Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Compared with Anticoagulants After Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Who Have Prior Hematologic Malignancy
Jun 9, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of aspirin compared to traditional anticoagulants for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients with prior hematologic malignancies undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). They found that aspirin was associated with significantly lower rates of deep vein thrombosis and fewer postoperative complications, suggesting it may be a safer and more effective option for this high-risk population.
