Indications
- bone disease &/or joint disease not amenable to medical treatment
* many common elective orthopedic surgical procedures lack strong evidence of effectiveness[2]
- carpal tunnel release & total knee arthroplasty appear to be superior to nonsurgical management alone
- total hip arthroplasty & arthroscopic meniscal repair have not been compared with nonsurgical management in randomized trials
- arthroscopic partial meniscectomy, rotator cuff repair, subacromial decompression, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, lumbar spine decompression, & lumbar spine fusion appear to be no better than nonsurgical treatment[3]
Complications
- older age, diabetes mellitus, baseline renal insufficiency, & other comorbidities are associated with increased risk for acute renal failure after orthopedic surgery
- acute renal failure, in turn, is associated with increased mortality[1]
- hyponatremia, SIADH in elderly (30%)
