Three Oklahoma physician groups expressed concerns about State Question 744 and its potential impact on access to healthcare. Passing the bill would divert funding away from the Oklahoma Health Care Authority and other public health programs, doing a disservice to Oklahoma's poor and medically underserved. Every dollar taken from the OHCA to fund State Question 744 would result in a $3 loss in funds for healthcare. This could potentially devastate children's health in Oklahoma as almost half receive Medicaid coverage, which may face a $1.5 billion cut. Cutting OHCA funding could also worsen Oklahoma's physician shortage in rural areas by lowering reimbursement rates.

Medicaid provides health care access for millions of low-income and vulnerable citizens, including children, people with disabilities, and seniors. However, cuts to Medicaid funding are threatening this access as states reduce benefits, pay providers less, and limit eligibility. Studies have shown that expanding Medicaid coverage improves health outcomes and reduces mortality, so cuts may negatively impact the quality of life for at-risk citizens by limiting their access to health care. Thirteen states as of July 2012 were implementing cuts through various means, even as the federal government sought to expand Medicaid to cover 17 million more people.A Reversal on Medicare Advantage Cuts

Revision Total Hip Replacement (THR): Surgical Principles, Techniques, and Bo...Dr. Prabhat Pandey

Revision Total Hip Replacement (THR) is among the most demanding procedures in orthopedic surgery. Unlike primary THR, it involves addressing pre-existing complications such as implant failure, dislocation, bone loss, or infection, often in the presence of compromised soft tissues and bone quality. While primary THR offers high success rates and reproducible outcomes, revision THR requires greater surgical expertise, meticulous planning, and personalized execution to restore function and minimize complications.
This presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey is designed as a comprehensive resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and joint reconstruction teams who seek to understand and master the essential principles, decision-making algorithms, and advanced techniques used in revision THR.
Revision hip arthroplasty is associated with:
Increased operative time and blood loss
Higher complication rates: infection, dislocation, thromboembolism, nerve injury, and periprosthetic fracture
The need to manage weakened bone stock and soft tissue envelope
Difficulty in removing failed implants, including intramedullary components.
Revision surgery is warranted in cases of:
Prosthetic dislocation or instability
Mechanical loosening of components
Implant wear or breakage
Periprosthetic fracture
Deep infection
Osteolysis or bone resorption
Painful loosening without overt signs of mechanical failure
Each case demands tailored intervention based on the severity and combination of these factors.
3. Principles of Successful Revision THR
Safe removal of loose or failed components
Preservation of host bone and soft tissue integrity
Effective reconstruction of bone defects using bone grafts or metal augments
Achieving stability of the revision components
Restoration of biomechanics, particularly the anatomical center of rotation.
Dislocation rates:
0.310% in primary THR
Up to 28% in revision THR
Influencing Factors:
Surgical approach
Abductor muscle function
Component malpositioning
Patient compliance
Prosthesis longevity
Underlying diagnosis (e.g., hip fracture, neuromuscular disorder
Revision Total Hip Replacement is not merely a technical endeavorit is a test of surgical judgment, experience, and adaptability. Successful outcomes hinge on:
Thorough preoperative assessment
Judicious use of classification systems like Paprosky
Proficiency in implant removal
Skillful reconstruction of defects
Meticulous postoperative care
This presentation distills the complex decision-making process into an organized, practical guide for any surgeon facing the challenge of revision THR.

This detailed presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey (DNB Resident, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur) provides a comprehensive overview of acetabular labral tears, covering their anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical implications. Beginning with the anatomy of the acetabular labruma fibrocartilaginous structure critical for hip joint stabilitythe presentation explains how its vascular and neural distribution contributes to both pain and poor healing potential when torn.
The pathophysiology of labral tears is discussed in the context of altered joint mechanics, loss of the labral seal, increased cartilage stress, and subsequent joint degeneration. The presentation classifies labral tears based on location, morphology, and etiology, highlighting causes such as trauma, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and biomechanical imbalances.
Key clinical features are outlined, including chronic anterior hip or groin pain, mechanical symptoms like clicking and locking, and delayed diagnosisespecially in athletes and women. Diagnostic strategies include physical tests (e.g., FABER, McCarthy test, anterior impingement test), imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, and MR arthrography), and diagnostic injections.
Management strategies range from conservative treatmentrest, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapyto surgical options, such as arthroscopic debridement and microfracture techniques. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on early mobilization, DVT prophylaxis, and gradual return to function, tailored to reduce recurrence and promote joint preservation.
This presentation is an excellent educational resource for orthopedic residents, sports medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, and clinicians managing hip pathologies.Inotropic Therapies: Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Directions
