Annual statistics for hip and knee replacements, 2021–2022 - Canadian Institute of Health Information:

• 58,635 hip and 58,443 knee replacements were performed in 2021–2022. These numbers are 6.0% and 5.7% higher, respectively, compared with 2020–2021 but still lower than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the average year-over-year increases in the pre-pandemic period, i we estimate that a total of 91,600 surgeries were not performed over the past 3 years, as would have been expected.

• As in previous years, a higher proportion of patients were female than were male, with 57% of hip replacements and 58% of knee replacements performed on female patients. ii • Most patients were age 65 and older. Among hip replacement patients, the most common age group was age 75 and older (female patients, 44.0%; male patients, 31.6%). For knee replacements, the most common age group was 65 to 74 (female patients, 41.2%; male patients, 42.3%).

• The most common diagnosis for primary hip and knee replacement patients was OA, at 69.3% and 99.4%, respectively. • There were 4.6% more hip and knee revisions performed compared with the previous year (8,942 in 2021–2022 versus 8,548 in 2020–2021).

• The top 3 reasons for hip and knee revisions combined were infection (32.5%), instability (14.3%) and aseptic loosening (14.0%).

• On average, patients undergoing inpatient revision surgery stayed in hospital more than twice as long as patients undergoing inpatient primary surgery (9.1 days versus 3.9 days, respectively).

• Patients treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty after hip fracture had a lower risk of revision than patients treated with hemiarthroplasty with cementless fixation. This finding holds true when controlling for age, s*x and surgeon volume. 

• For knee replacements, there was no difference in revision risk for total knee replacement regardless of the type of fixation used (cemented, hybrid, cementless).

Shoulder Pathologies
There are many shoulder pathologies that can reduce your gains in getting big strong shoulders. It’s important when you develop an injury to the shoulder, to firstly get the correct diagnoses form your Dr. Secondly, it’s important to complete your prescribed physiotherapy exercises for your shoulder pathology. If you don’t, you risk adding more injuries and complexity to the shoulder joint and it’s surrounding structures. The most common shoulder pathologies include:
-Shoulder Impingement
-Rotator Cuff Tendon Tears
-Bicipital Tendonitis

More Complex Shoulder Pathologies:
-Shoulder Dislocations
-Frozen Shoulder / Adhesive Capsulitis
-Total Shoulder Replacement

*If you know how to bullet-proof your shoulders from potential injury, the better your chances are in medically managing your shoulder pathology.
-Preventing Inflammation to the Shoulder Joint is key.
-Strengthening The Scapulae and Posterior Shoulder Girdle Muscles are Critical
-Improving Sub-Accromial Space will help reduce further Impingement
-Improving Shoulder Stabilization in Multiple Angles of ROM
-Improving Shoulder External & Internal ROM

The meniscus is a key structure within the knee joint. It provides many supportive functions to the knee including shock absorption, stability, joint congruency, and nutrition. Significant injury to this important structure can reek havoc to the knee causing a cascade degenerative effect on the knee contributing to knee weakness, knee instability, and significant arthritic changes to the surrounding structures of the knee.

Meniscal injuries can include a wide variety including partial and full tears from both the medial and lateral aspects. It important to consult your dr and get proper imaging (MRI & X-Ray) completed to figure out what type of tear and how significant the meniscal injury is and or if there are any other related injuries to the knee that could be contributing to your knee pain.

There are many interventions that can help with your meniscal injury and depending on the severity of the injury many interventions can help improve the meniscus including a combination of:
-Physiotherapy
-Exercise
-Various types of injections shots including cortisone, hypotonic, PRP, and nStride (your dr and or Orthopedic Surgeon Knee Specialist will recommend which ones are best to consider)
-and when indicated surgical interventions may be considered including Knee Arthroscopy, Arthroscopic debridement, Meniscal Repair, and if needed a Menisectomy.

*It’s important to consult your healthcare team, as the knee is very complex and there can be other factors causing your pain such as osteoarthritis, knee malaligment, petelafemoral tracking issues, and significant degeneration of the knee cartilage (which may have become bone on bone).

In many instances a combination of various conservative interventions will be recommended including Physio, Injections and Exercise. From there, based on the knees response to these conservative interventions, you and your healthcare provider can then figure out what more needs to be done.

*Knee Strengthening Exercises when done appropriately can be very beneficial to all structures of the knee including the:
-Meniscus
-ACL
-PCL / MCL /LCL
-Patellafemoral Joint
