Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Total hip replacement is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures offered to patients with various hip joint pathologies. Researchers, clinical scientists, surgeons, device manufacturers, and hospital policy makers are constantly striving to advance the science and practice of total hip replacement based on the availability of new evidence. The availability of large databases has made it possible to analyze outcomes in rare pathologies and situations that are often not possible from single-center studies. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit manuscripts relating to various technical aspects of hip replacement, including, but not limited to, robotic hip replacement, direct anterior approaches, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and outcomes related to newer advances in total hip replacement.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: Periprosthetic fractures following total hip arthroplasty are serious complications occurring in up to 2.4% of primary cases, contributing to significant morbidity, extended hospital stays, and elevated healthcare costs. Predicting these fractures remains a challenge despite advances in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials. Methods: This study analyzed 1,634,615 cases of primary THA from the NIS database (2016–2019) using propensity score matching to compare outcomes between patients with and without intraoperative periprosthetic fractures. Predictive models, including logistic regression, decision tree, and deep neural network, were evaluated for their ability to predict fracture risk. Results: Patients with periprosthetic fractures exhibited a 14-fold increase in pulmonary embolism risk, a 12-fold increase in infections, and a 5-fold increase in hip dislocations. Fractures extended hospital stays (3.8 vs. 2.5 days) and added approximately USD 32,000 in costs per patient. The predictive models yielded low accuracy (AUC max = 0.605), underscoring the complexity of predicting periprosthetic fractures. Conclusions: Intraoperative periprosthetic fractures in THA significantly elevate complication rates, costs, and length of stay. Despite extensive modeling efforts, accurate prediction remains difficult, highlighting the need to focus on preventive strategies, such as improved surgical techniques and real-time intraoperative monitoring.
