The cases of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are increasing. In this report, snapping phenomenon after final implantation of revision TKA has been presented. Snapping was caused by adhered iliotibial band (ITB) impinging against the lateral part of femoral component. Fractional lengthening the ITB by puncture resolved the snapping phenomenon. Surgeons should be aware of the presence of such a case which should be identified during operation to avoid secondary operations. ...[more]

Project description:Ischaemic preconditioning is a method of protecting tissue against ischaemia-reperfusion injury. It is an innate protective mechanism that increases a tissue's tolerance to prolonged ischaemia when it is first subjected to short burst of ischaemia and reperfusion. It is thought to provide this protection by increasing the tissue's tolerance to ischaemia, therby reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in the preconditioned tissue. We used microarrays to investigate the genomic response induced by ischaemic preconditioning in muscle biopsies taken from the operative leg of total knee arthroplasty patients in order to gain insight into the ischaemic preconditioning mechanism. Patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty were randomised to control and treatment (ischaemic preconditioning) groups. Patients in the treatment group received a preconditioning stimulus immediately prior to surgery. The ischaemic preconditioning stimulus consisted of three five-minute periods of tourniquet insufflation on the lower operative limb, interrupted by five minute periods of reperfusion. All patients had a tourniquet applied to the lower limb after the administration of spinal anaesthesia, as per normal protocol for knee arthroplasty surgery. Muscle biopsies were taken from the quadriceps muscle of the operative knee at the immediate onset of surgery (T0) and at 1 hour into surgery (T1). Total RNA was extracted from biospies of four control and four treatment patients and hybridised to the Affymetrix Human U133 2.0 chip.

Project description:BackgroundAs robot-assisted equipment is continuously being used in orthopaedic surgery, the past few decades have seen an increase in the usage of robotics for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Thus, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the differences between robotic TKA and nonrobotic TKA on perioperative and postoperative complications and opioid consumption.MethodsAn administrative database was queried from 2010 to Q2 of 2017 for primary TKAs performed via robot-assisted surgery vs non-robot-assisted surgery. Systemic and joint complications and average morphine milligram equivalents were collected and compared with statistical analysis.ResultsPatients in the nonrobotic TKA cohort had higher levels of prosthetic revision at 1-year after discharge (P < .05) and higher levels of manipulation under anesthesia at 90 days and 1-year after discharge (P < .05). Furthermore, those in the nonrobotic TKA cohort had increased occurrences of deep vein thrombosis, altered mental status, pulmonary embolism, anemia, acute renal failure, cerebrovascular event, pneumonia, respiratory failure, and urinary tract infection during the inpatient hospital stay (all P < .05) and at 90 days after discharge (all P < .05). All of these categories remained statistically increased at the 90-days postdischarge date, except pneumonia and stroke. Patients in the nonrobotic TKA cohort had higher levels of average morphine milligram equivalents consumption at all time periods measured (P < .001).ConclusionsIn the present study, the use of robotics for TKA found lower revision rates, lower incidences of manipulation under anesthesia, decreased occurrence of systemic complications, and lower opiate consumption for postoperative pain management. Future studies should look to further examine the long-term outcomes for patients undergoing robot-assisted TKA.Level of evidenceLevel III.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of adolescent patients with end-stage arthritis is challenging. Nonoperative treatments may be ineffective and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rarely performed. Currently, minimal long-term data are available on the outcomes in this patient population. Our goal was to describe TKA for patients with end-stage arthritis who were aged 20 years and younger.MethodsThe Joint Registry at our institution was used to identify 19 patients (29 TKAs) aged 20 years and younger that underwent a primary TKA. The average age was 18 years (range 14-20 years) and follow-up was 14.5 years (range: 2.1-25.5 years).ResultsThe preoperative diagnoses were juvenile idiopathic arthritis (n = 19), avascular necrosis (n = 4), sepsis (n = 2), trauma (n = 2), dysplasia (n = 1), and hemophilia (n = 1). There was a decrease in the number of TKAs performed for inflammatory arthritis over the last several decades. Implant survivorship at 5 and 10 years was 96% and 94%, respectively.ConclusionsWe identified a 95% 10-year implant survivorship utilizing standard TKA components in pediatric patients. Performing a TKA in adolescent patients has long-term potential risks including infection and bone loss but may provide pain relief and good long-term results and should be used with caution.

Project description:Crystalline arthropathies are well-known pathologies in a native knee; however, the literature is scarce with regards to crystalline arthropathies in a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The presentation of crystalline arthropathy in a TKA can be similar to a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), making it difficult to distinguish between the 2 diagnoses. We present 1 case highlighting the similarity between crystalline arthropathy and PJI. A 71-year-old man with a history of bilateral TKAs presented with bilateral painful knee effusions and was initially presumed to have PJIs; however, he was later diagnosed with gout and successfully treated medically. A complete review of the literature demonstrates that crystalline arthropathies after TKA are infrequently reported and can be difficult to decipher from PJIs, and there is a lack of standardized treatment.

Project description:PurposeStability in the sagittal plane, particularly regarding anterior cruciate ligament compensation, and postoperative functionality and satisfaction remain issues in total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, this prospective study compared the clinical outcomes between medial-pivot-based and posterior-stabilised total knee arthroplasty based on anterior translation and clinical scores.MethodsTo assess outcomes of total knee arthroplasty for varus osteoarthritis, the anterior translation distance of the tibia relative to the femur was measured at 30 and 60° of flexion using a KS measure Arthrometer at 6 months postoperatively. The 2011 Knee Society Score, Forgotten Joint Score, visual analogue scale for pain, and range of motion were assessed at 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. The correlations among each score, anterior translation distance, range of motion, and visual analogue scale score for pain were investigated.ResultsThe medial-pivot and posterior-stabilised groups comprised 70 and 51 patients, respectively. The medial-pivot group exhibited a significantly shorter anterior translation distance at 60° flexion than the posterior-stabilised group. Furthermore, the medial-pivot group achieved significantly better outcomes regarding the visual analogue scale for pain, 2011 Knee Society Score, and Forgotten Joint Score than the posterior-stabilised group. A significant negative correlation was observed between the anterior translation distance and the function score of the 2011 Knee Society Score, whereas a significant positive correlation was found between the anterior translation distance and flexion angle, and between the extension angle and score of the Forgotten Joint Score or 2011 Knee Society Score. Significant negative correlations were also found between the pain visual analogue scale and both the 2011 Knee Society Score and Forgotten Joint Score.ConclusionIn total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis, the medial-pivot group displayed a shorter anterior translation distance than the posterior-stabilised group at 6 months postoperatively. The visual analogue scale score for pain was also significantly lower in the medial-pivot group than that in the posterior-stabilised group at both 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Because a correlation was observed between the anterior translation distance and the function score, medial-pivot-based total knee arthroplasty was considered to significantly improve postoperative function compared to posterior-stabilised total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:This article describes a traumatic complete anterior knee dislocation of a previously well-functioning total knee arthroplasty. A thorough physical examination with appropriate radiographic imaging study is required for proper evaluation and treatment of this injury, as it is often associated with neurovascular injury and subsequent global instability of the injured knee is likely.

Project description:Stiffness is a relatively uncommon complication after total knee arthroplasty. It has been defined as a painful limitation in the range of movement (ROM). Its pathogenesis is still unclear even if some risk factors have been identified. Patient-related conditions may be difficult to treat. Preoperative ROM is the most important risk factor, but an association with diabetes, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and general pathologies such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis has been demonstrated. Moreover, previous surgery may be an additional cause of an ROM limitation. Postoperative factors include infections, arthrofibrosis, heterotrophic ossifications, and incorrect rehabilitation protocol. Infections represent a challenging problem for the orthopaedic surgeon, and treatment may require long periods of antibiotics administration. However, it is widely accepted that an aggressive rehabilitation protocol is mandatory for a proper ROM recovery and to avoid the onset of arthrofibrosis and heterotrophic ossifications. Finally, surgery-related factors represent the most common cause of stiffness; they include errors in soft-tissue balancing, component malpositioning, and incorrect component sizing. Although closed manipulation, arthroscopic and open arthrolysis have been proposed, they may lead to unpredictable results and incomplete ROM recovery. Revision surgery must be proposed in the case of well-documented surgical errors. These operations are technically demanding and may be associated with high risk of complications; therefore they should be accurately planned and properly performed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The study of localized immune-related factors has proven beneficial for a variety of conditions, and one area of interest in the field of orthopaedics is the impact of implants and localized infections on immune response. Several cytokines have shown increased systemic concentrations (in serum/plasma) in response to implants and infection, but tissue-level cytokines have not been investigated as thoroughly. METHODS:This exploratory study investigated tissue-level cytokines in a cohort of patients (N?=?17) in response to total knee arthroplasty and total knee revision to better understand the immune response to implants and localized infection (e.g., prosthetic joint infection). The overall goal of this study was to provide insight into the localized cytokine response of tissues and identify tissue-level markers specific to inflammation caused by implants vs. inflammation caused by infection. Tissues were collected across several anatomical locations and assayed with a panel of 20 human inflammatory cytokines to understand spatial differences in cytokine levels. RESULTS:In this study, six cytokines were elevated in implanted joints, as compared to native joints: IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-4, and TNF-? (p?<?0.05). Seven cytokines showed infection-dependent increases in localized tissues: IL-1?, IL-1?, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1?, and MIP-1? (p?<?0.05). CONCLUSIONS:This study demonstrated that differences exist in tissue-level cytokines in response to presence of implant, and some cytokines were specifically elevated for infection; these responses may be informative of overall tissue health. These results highlight the utility of investigating localized cytokine concentrations to offer novel insights for total knee arthroplasty and total knee revision procedures, as well as their complications. Ultimately, this information could provide additional, quantitative measurements of tissue to aid clinical decision making and patient treatment options.
