TL;DR: Ropivacaine-based periarticular injections provide pain control comparable on postoperative days 1 and 2 to a femoral catheter and single-injection sciatic nerve block, and this study did not demonstrate an advantage of liposomal bupvacaine over ropivadaine in periartsicular injections for total knee arthroplasty.

TL;DR: Successful prosthetic rehabilitation after hemipelvectomy and hip disarticulation is possible and increased body mass index, advanced age, depression, and other comorbidities should not discourage prosthetics rehabilitation.

TL;DR: Trabecular metal shells combined with structural bone allograft in revision THA demonstrate excellent midterm survival, with 94% of acetabular components obtaining stable union onto host bone at 5 years.

TL;DR: Patients who use a modern prosthesis following hemipelvectomy demonstrated good clinical function with and without their prosthesis, and a trend for faster locomotion using crutches over wearing a prosthesis in the timed up and go, and 5-m and 400-m walk.

TL;DR: The three main criteria for successful prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with high-level amputation are comfort, function, and cosmesis, which improves balance and decreases the need for a gait aid.
