Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) involves cutaneous vascular malformation characterized by multiple venous malformations. This commonly affects the skin and gastrointestinal tract. BRBNS is associated with anemia and occasionally involves orthopedic manifestations. A 6-year-old boy was referred to hospital for evaluation of anemia. He presented with a rubber-like soft-tissue mass in the left knee and the right side of the neck, recurrent pain, and fixed flexion contracture of the knee. Blood examination indicated consumption coagulopathy and anemia caused by not only iron-deficiency anemia but also microangiopathy. Endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract indicated multiple bluish-black sessile venous malformations. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging of the knee showed intra-articular and intramuscular involvement. Based on these findings, BRBNS with knee joint disorder was diagnosed. With regard to vascular malformations, like other diseases such as inflammatory arthropathy, ultrasonography of the joint may become a new diagnostic approach for evaluating orthopedic manifestations.
We recognize you have many options for knee or hip replacement. You may still receive joint replacement through other providers under your UMP plan. However, the COE Program offers you 100% coverage (minus the deductible for UMP CDHP and UMP High Deductible members) for your joint replacement. If you qualify, the COE Program will also assist with travel and lodging expenses for you and a care companion*.
There have been many recent attempts to monitor and characterize public interest in surgical procedures to better forecast surgical case volumes [5,6]. However, the majority of these forecasting techniques utilize complex mathematical models and are not intuitive to the typical surgeon. There has been limited research on the use of publicly available internet search traffic data to help forecast case volumes for orthopedic procedures. Google Trends (GT) is a free, open source tool that provides customizable analysis of search term volumes entered into the Google search engine [7]. Recent estimates indicate that the Google search engine receives more than 70,000 health-related searches per minute, which account for nearly 7% of all Google searches [8]. The GT tool has been used in a wide array of studies to track public interest in health topics ranging from interest in elective procedures to interest in cancer screening [9,10]. Previously, GT data describing public interest in several different types of surgical and non-surgical procedures have been shown to be correlated with case volumes [11-14]. Furthermore, GT has been used in previous orthopedic studies to examine seasonal trends in knee pain as well as to track public interest in stem cell injections and platelet-rich plasma for osteoarthritis of the hip and knee [15-17]. However, to date, there is a paucity of research examining the relationship between GT data and volumes of orthopedic procedures such as TKA and THA.

We perform over 1,100 hip and knee replacement surgeries every year to help address pain and management from hip and knee arthritis. We are a referral center for the most complicated hip and knee replacement cases in the region.
Our Joint Replacement Program is designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Knee and Hip Replacement by Anthem BlueCross BlueShield based on our commitment to quality care, resulting in better overall outcomes for patients who undergo knee and hip replacement procedures.
There is now an exciting new technique available to doctors performing total knee replacement surgeries and it has drastically improved patient outcomes. That new technique is known as Patient-Specific Alignment of Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Patient-Specific Alignment allows for custom positioning of the total knee in real-time. It allows for proper analysis of each patient and custom positioning of the replacement. It is only performed with navigation or robotic assistance. Custom placement of the knee results in

A bruise on the knee may occur because of damage to the skin, tendons, ligaments, or the bone of the knee cap. For example, a knee injury may cause a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament, in addition to bruising.
The RICE approach may help relieve symptoms and promote healing in knee injuries. However, if there is severe pain and swelling, or the bruise is not due to an injury, a person should speak with a doctor.
