SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While participation in pickleball and other sports is growing, data on returning to play after joint arthroplasty (JA) is limited. Presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons(AAOS), a new study found that a majority of patients who played racket sports were able to return to play after JA within six months and at a similar skill level without an increase in reoperation rates. Patients who returned to play also had higher physical function scores after surgery compared to those who did not return to play.

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists), such as semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic), have helped improve the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, their use in the perioperative period surrounding major surgeries, like total joint arthroplasty (TJA), remains an area of growing interest and concern. A new study presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of theAmerican Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons(AAOS) examined how the timing of a patient's last dose of Ozempic prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) influences anesthesia-related complications such as delayed emergence, aspiration, aspiration pneumonitis and conversion to intubation. The study found that discontinuing semaglutide two weeks before surgery lowered a patient's risk for these complications.

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Prior authorization is commonly used with commercial insurance companies as a cost-controlling policy. However, a study presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of theAmerican Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons(AAOS) found that prior authorization was an ineffective cost-saving measure for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The study, "Prior Authorization Does Not Reduce Costs in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty," also saw lower preoperative functional outcomes scores and significantly longer wait times before surgery when prior authorization was required. It is the first study to quantify the time and costs associated with obtaining prior authorization in patients undergoing THA.

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Living with osteoarthritis not only affects a person's quality of life but can greatly impact their spouse's quality of life.

Presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' (AAOS) 2025 Annual Meeting, it is among the first to demonstrate this positive impact.

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Apple Health app provides users with a wide range of metrics to track various health parameters, from heart rate and blood oxygen levels to fall risk and time spent in daylight. Now, Apple Health mobility data can help serve as a valuable tool for assessing patient recovery following lower extremity trauma surgery, such as tibial plateau, distal femur and femoral shaft fractures, according to a study presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of theAmerican Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons(AAOS). Using mixed-effect models to compare certain Apple Health mobility parameters, the researchers were able to objectively measure improvement by using a patient's mobility data prior to injury as a baseline metric.
