ORIGINAL ANALYSIS
Highlights from AAHKS 2023
This OE Insight highlights 12 RCTs from the 2023 AAHKS Annual Meeting, covering hip, knee, and joint arthroplasty. Trials explored intraoperative and postoperative strategies including dual-mobility implants, tranexamic acid protocols, steroid use, analgesia, suturing, vancomycin, and mindfulness. Key findings include improved outcomes with extended oral TXA, hydrocortisone-enhanced rehab, and better scar satisfaction with barbed sutures. The report reflects a growing emphasis on pain control, infection prevention, and patient-centered care in arthroplasty.
