Drie tot zes minuten muisstil liggen in de benauwde, kleine, indrukwekkende, lawaaierige ruimte van de MRI-scanner. Dat is moeilijk voor de meeste kinderen onder de acht jaar. En dat meerdere keren minstens 30 minuten lang, want zo lang duurt een MRI-scan. Daarom gaan jonge kinderen vaak onder narcose als zij een MRI-scan krijgen. Rutger Jan Nievelstein, […]

I read with great interest the article by Shul et al. entitled, “The Impact of Preoperative Weight Loss Timing on Surgical Outcomes In Total Hip Arthroplasty,” published in the Journal of Arthroplasty [1]. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate how weight loss at various time intervals would impact the rate of periprosthetic joint infection, surgical site infection, and aseptic revision compared to patients who were consistently obese and had normal body mass indices (BMI). I commend Shul and colleagues on a well-designed and executed study that provides important data regarding how surgeons select and counsel previously obese patients on postoperative risks.
Soft tissue management in total hip arthroplasty (THA) includes appropriate restoration and/or alteration of leg length and offset to re-establish natural hip biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of leg length and offset-derived variables in a multivariable survival model for dislocation.
As the incidence of femoral neck fracture (FNF) increases with the aging population, understanding its impact on surgical outcomes is important to improving implant survival and patient satisfaction. Despite increasing use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) as management for FNF, few studies have examined long-term implant survivability. Thus, this study sought to determine the 10-year cumulative incidence of revision and indications for revision in patients undergoing THA for FNF in comparison to osteoarthritis.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most popular surgical interventions performed to reduce the excruciating joint pain caused by severe wear-and-tear arthritis, also called osteoarthritis. However, TKA causes moderate to severe postoperative pain, which may impact the overall results. Opioids have been used as the first-line treatment for postoperative pain, but are notoriously known for causing some undesirable side effects as well, such as vomiting, respiratory depression, and urinary retention [1].
The paper by te Molder et al. applied 15 definitions of poor outcome to knee arthroplasty (KA) data from the Dutch arthroplasty registry and the Osteoarthritis Initiative to examine the accuracy and extent of overlap among these definitions [1]. To accomplish these objectives, the investigators defined 2 additional arbitrary criteria to use as gold standards for poor outcomes. These were a numeric rating scale of satisfaction (?6 = poor responder) and the global assessment of knee impact (dichotomized: ?4 = poor responder).
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to write a response to the correspondence on “Inadequate Classification of Poor Response After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Comparative Analysis of 15 Definitions Using Data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and the Osteoarthritis Initiative Database.”

A 57-year-old woman with a 12-h history of fever and severe pain in her back, pelvis, and thighs attended our hospital. 24 h earlier, the patient had the first dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin at 0·8 mg/m2 intravenously for primary refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. 2 months earlier, she had presented with pneumonia and was found to have anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and circulating B-lymphoblasts in her peripheral blood. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-lymphoblastic leukaemia with low hypodiploidy; she had been treated according to a modified Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Consortium Protocol—excluding pegaspargase.
