Effect of Body Mass Index on Blood Transfusion in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

abstract：:Knee instability is a common cause of prosthetic knee failure. This study sought to determine if synovial fluid analysis is a useful tool in diagnosing prosthetic knee instability. Aspirations were performed in 42 knees in which the diagnosis of instability was in doubt. This group was compared to 120 aspirated knees ...
