Background This propensity score–matched cohort study evaluates the effect of anesthetic
technique on a 30-day mortality after total hip or knee arthroplasty. Methods All patients who …

Background: We compared the following 30-day outcomes for total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
and total hip arthroplasty in spinal anesthesia (SA) versus general anesthesia (GA)(1) …

Background: Total hip arthroplasty may be performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
The purpose of the current study was to compare perioperative outcomes between …

Background: Spinal anesthesia has been associated with lower postoperative rates of deep-
vein thrombosis, a shorter operative time, and less blood loss when compared with general …

Background The impact of anesthetic technique on perioperative outcomes remains
controversial. We studied a large national sample of primary joint arthroplasty recipients and …

Background: Many orthopaedic surgical procedures can be performed with either regional
or general anesthesia. We hypothesized that total hip arthroplasty with regional anesthesia …

Background The incidence of both primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and revision TKA is
increasing. Data from primary arthroplasty patients suggest a risk reduction with the use of …

Introduction Neuraxial anesthesia may provide perioperative outcome benefits versus
general anesthesia in orthopedic surgical patients. As subgroup analyses are lacking, we …

Background: The optimal anesthetic technique remains debated in patients undergoing total-
hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this meta-analysis was to test the efficacy of general …

Background Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) can be successfully carried out under general (GA)
