Abstract Purpose Although age is a known predictor of outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), most large‐scale studies rely on registry data that lack clinical detail and combines multiple implant designs. This study aimed to determine whether age has an independent effect on implant survivorship and clinical outcomes when a single TKA design

Abstract Purpose Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers benefits over total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but some studies indicated higher revision rates, often involving conversion to TKA. The infection risk associated with UKA to TKA conversion compared to primary TKA is not definitively established.

Surgical site infection and transfusion rates are higher in underweight total knee arthroplasty patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Underweight (UW) patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty have exhibited higher complication rates, including infection and transfusion. No study to our knowledge has evaluated UW total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.

Abstract Purpose Patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may later require total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis (OA). The impact of previous ACLR on patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) after TKA remains uncertain.

Intramedullary Nailing of Periarticular Fractures [PDF]
Plate fixation has historically been the preferred surgical treatment method for periarticular fractures of the lower extremity. This trend has stemmed from difficulties with fracture reduction and concerns of inadequate fixation with intramedullary ...

Periprosthetic infection: Is everything done in aim of recognition and prevention? (Periprosthetic infection) [PDF]
Total hip and total knee arthroplasty improve quality of life and reduce pain in patients with severe joint diseases. Despite the widely reported success of the procedures, periprosthetic joint infection (PPI), as complication, affects approximately 1% of patients after joint arthroplasty leading to poor surgical outcomes, osteomyelitis, sepsis ...

Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

The inter-rater reliability of the diagnosis of surgical site infection in the context of a clinical trial. [PDF]
ObjectivesThe diagnosis of surgical site infection following endoprosthetic reconstruction for bone tumours is frequently a subjective diagnosis. Large clinical trials use blinded Central Adjudication Committees (CACs) to minimise the variability and ...

Abstract Purpose The presence of a sinus tract in chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has traditionally been considered a contraindication to single‐stage total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision. However, an increasing number of surgeons are now performing single‐stage revisions in this context, despite limited comparative data.

Abstract Purpose Results after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic knee joint infections (PJIs) vary widely. Although data are limited, surgeon expertise and surgical technique likely influence outcomes. Standardized DAIR performed by surgeons within a multidisciplinary team (MDT) dedicated to the treatment of
