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:Little is known about patients with bone cement hypersenstivity after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We present 7 patients implanted with 8 TKAs with clinical failure and a cement hypersensitivity diagnosis. All demonstrated hypersensitivity to bone cement via skin patch and/or lymphocyte transformation testing. All 7 patients also showed hypersensitivity to metal, most commonly nickel. Patients underwent custom cementless TKA revision. Prerevision and postrevision outcome measures, radiographs, intraoperative findings, and postrevision complications are reported. Functional scores improved after revision except Veterans RAND-12 mental component scores, which declined. Four patients continue to exhibit symptoms postoperatively, while one patient has had 3 additional surgical procedures. Patients presenting with bone cement hypersensitivity after TKA are particularly challenging. Evidence-based guidelines are lacking, and revision surgery may not relieve the presenting symptoms.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess short-term efficacy of single intraarticular botulinum toxin (IA-BoNT/A) injection in patients with chronically painful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind study.MethodsPatients with chronic TKA pain (pain > 6 on 0-10 scale and > 6 months post-TKA) evaluated in and referred from orthopedic surgery clinics were recruited. The primary outcome, proportion of patients with clinically meaningful decrease of at least 2 points on 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, was compared between treatment groups at 2 months using comparison of proportions test and for all efficacy timepoints (2, 3, and 4 months) using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Secondary outcomes of global assessment, function, and quality of life were compared using GEE, duration of pain relief by t-test, and adverse events by chi-square test.ResultsIn total, 54 patients with 60 painful TKA were randomized, with main analyses restricted to one TKA per patient (49 TKA in 49 patients). Mean age was 67 years, 84% were men, and mean duration of TKA pain was 4.5 years. A significantly greater proportion of patients (71%) in the IA-BoNT/A group compared to IA-placebo (35%) achieved clinically meaningful reduction in VAS pain at 2 months (p = 0.028) and at all efficacy timepoints (p = 0.019). Duration of meaningful pain relief was significantly greater after IA-BoNT/A, 39.6 days (SD 50.4) compared to IA-placebo, 15.7 days (SD 22.6; p = 0.045). Statistically significantly better scores were seen in IA-BoNT/A vs IA-placebo for all efficacy timepoints for the following outcomes: "very much improved" on physician global assessment of change (p = 0.003); Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index physical function (p = 0.026), stiffness (p = 0.004), and total scores (p = 0.024); and Short-Form 36 pain subscale score (p = 0.049). Number of total and serious adverse events was similar between groups, with no patients in either group with new objective motor or sensory deficits during followup.ConclusionIn this single-center randomized trial, single IA-BoNT/A injection provided clinically meaningful short-term improvements in pain, global assessment, and function in patients with chronic painful TKA. A multicenter trial is needed to confirm these findings.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy has evolved greatly from its inception in the 20th century. Arthroscopic synovectomy is performed in the case of infection or significant synovitis. We continue to develop more minimally invasive procedures, and the NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) has provided a new generation of possibilities. The system does not require the use of a standard incision or portal, and using the GraftNet (Arthrex), we can harvest tissue with a standard shaver for further evaluation. This technique provides an option to perform a synovectomy and biopsy without the use of standard arthroscopy portals through an incisionless approach.

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:Introduction: Arthroplasty-associated bone loss remains a clinical problem: stiff metallic implants disrupt load transfer to bone and, hence, its remodeling stimulus. The aim of this research was to analyze how load transfer to bone is affected by different forms of knee arthroplasty: isolated partial knee arthroplasty (PKA), compartmental arthroplasty [combined partial knee arthroplasty (CPKA), two or more PKAs in the same knee], and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: An experimentally validated subject-specific finite element model was analyzed native and with medial unicondylar, lateral unicondylar, patellofemoral, bi-unicondylar, medial bicompartmental, lateral bicompartmental, tricompartmental, and total knee arthroplasty. Three load cases were simulated for each: gait, stair ascent, and sit-to-stand. Strain shielding and overstraining were calculated from the differences between the native and implanted states. Results: For gait, the TKA femoral component led to mean strain shielding (30%) more than three times higher than that of PKA (4%-7%) and CPKA (5%-8%). Overstraining was predicted in the proximal tibia (TKA 21%; PKA/CPKA 0%-6%). The variance in the distribution for TKA was an order of magnitude greater than for PKA/CPKA, indicating less physiological load transfer. Only the TKA-implanted femur was sensitive to the load case: for stair ascent and gait, almost the entire distal femur was strain-shielded, whereas during sit-to-stand, the posterior femoral condyles were overstrained. Discussion: TKA requires more bone resection than PKA and CPKA. These finite element analyses suggest that a longer-term benefit for bone is probable as partial and multi-compartmental knee procedures lead to more natural load transfer compared to TKA. High-flexion activity following TKA may be protective of posterior condyle bone resorption, which may help explain why bone loss affects some patients more than others. The male and female bone models used for this research are provided open access to facilitate future research elsewhere.

Project description:BackgroundMost studies evaluating robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA TKA) analyzed the advantages offered to high-volume surgeons. This study aims to determine if RA TKA improves radiographic or clinical outcomes for low-volume, non-arthroplasty-trained surgeons.MethodsRadiographic and early clinical outcomes of 19 RA TKAs and 41 conventional TKAs, all performed by a single, non-arthroplasty-trained orthopaedic surgeon, were compared. Radiographic outliers were based on surgeon targets and defined as tibial posterior slope outside of 0°-5°, tibial tray varus outside of 0°-3°, and the presence of notching. Clinical outcomes included inpatient narcotic usage, length of stay, range of motion, and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System scores.ResultsThere was a significant decrease in tibial slope outliers (RA TKA 0% vs non-RA TKA 22%, P = .024) and notching incidence (RA TKA 0% vs non-RA TKA 19.5%, P = .044) in the RA group. Tibial tray varus/valgus outliers trended lower in the RA TKA group (10.0% vs 26.8%, P = .189). Length of stay was significantly shorter in RA patients (48.0 hours [standard deviation: 25.5] vs 67.7 hours [34.3], P = .038). RA patients trended toward lower in postoperative inpatient total mean morphine equivalents usage (79.9 [89.2] vs 140.1 [169.3], P = .142) and inpatient mean morphine equivalents usage per day (30.36 [26.9] vs 45.6 [36.7], P = .105). There was no significant difference in Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System scores or range of motion at first and second postoperative follow-up within 3 months.ConclusionsRA TKA reduced the incidence of radiographic outliers when compared to conventional TKA for a low-volume arthroplasty surgeon.
