INTRODUCTION: Instability is a leading cause of early failure following total knee arthroplasty. Enabling technologies can improve accuracy, but their clinical value remains undetermined. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of achieving a balanced knee joint at the time of TKA. METHODS: A Markov model was developed to determine the value from reduced revisions and improved outcomes associated with TKA joint balance. Patients were modelled for the first 5 years following TKA...

BACKGROUND: Instability remains a devastating complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Here we describe a mini-posterior approach with a monoblock dual-mobility implant without "traditional posterior hip precautions" yielding excellent results. METHODS: There were 580 consecutive hips in 575 patients who underwent THA utilizing a monoblock dual-mobility implant and a mini-posterior approach. With this technique, the acetabular component positioning does not rely on tradition intra-operative radiographic abduction and anteversion goals, but rather uses patient-specific anatomic landmarks (anterior acetabular rim and, when visible, the transverse acetabular ligament) to set cup position; stability is assessed with a significant, dynamic intra-operative test of range of motion...

BACKGROUND: The treatment of Vancouver B periprosthetic proximal femur fractures (PPFF) is complex due to the overlap between arthroplasty and orthopaedic trauma techniques. Our purpose was to assess the effects of fracture type, treatment difference, and surgeon training on the risk of reoperation in Vancouver B PPFF. METHODS: A collaborative research consortium of eleven centers retrospectively reviewed PPFFs from 2014 to 2019 to determine the effects of variations in surgeon expertise, fracture type, and treatment on surgical reoperation...

BACKGROUND: Patients who have obesity seldom lose weight after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The Look AHEAD trial randomized patients with type 2 diabetes who had overweight or obesity to a 10-year intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) or diabetes support and education (DSE). METHODS: Of the total 5,145 participants enrolled who had a median 14-year follow-up, a subset of 4,624 met inclusion criteria. The ILI aimed at achieving and maintaining a 7% weight loss and included weekly counseling the first 6 months, with decreasing frequency thereafter...

BACKGROUND: Ideal goals for alignment and balance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain controversial. We aimed to compare initial alignment and balance using mechanical alignment (MA) and kinematic alignment (KA) techniques, and to analyze the percentage of knees that could achieve balance using limited adjustments to component position. METHODS: Prospective data on 331 primary robotic TKAs (115 MA and 216 KA) were analyzed. Medial and lateral virtual gaps were recorded in both flexion and extension...

BACKGROUND: Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains challenging despite recent advancements in testing and evolving criteria over the last decade. Moreover, the effects of antibiotic use on diagnostic markers are not fully understood. Thus, this study sought to determine the influence of antibiotic use within 48 hours before knee aspiration on synovial and serum laboratory values for suspected late PJI. METHODS: Patients who underwent a TKA and subsequent knee arthrocentesis for PJI workup at least six weeks after their index arthroplasty were reviewed across a single healthcare system from 2013 to 2020...

INTRODUCTION: Cementless fixation is gaining popularity for primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). The prior 5-year results of our randomized clinical trial (RCT) that included 3 different tibial designs found minimal differences. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the 10-year results in the same cohort. METHODS: Between 2003 to 2006, 389 primary TKAs were randomized: traditional modular cemented tibia (135); hybrid (cemented baseplate with uncemented pegs) monoblock tibia (128); and cementless monoblock tibia (126)...

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are often lower following conversion total hip arthroplasty (cTHA) compared to matched primary THA controls. However, the minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for any PROMs have yet to be analyzed for cTHA. This study aimed to 1) Determine if patients undergoing cTHA achieve primary THA-specific 1-year PROM MCIDs at comparable rates to matched controls undergoing primary THA and 2) Establish 1-year MCID values for specific PROMs following cTHA...

BACKGROUND: Concerns remain that thinner highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) liners in modern total hip arthroplasty (THA) may lead to premature liner-related failures or revision. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of liner-thickness on survival and revision rates of HXLPE in primary THA after more than 10 years. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 2,565 primary THA using HXLPE with a mean follow-up of 13 years (range, 11 to 19). Patients were grouped for each millimeter (mm) of polyethylene thickness...

BACKGROUND: Instrumented Posterior Lumbar Spinal Fusion (IPLSF) has been demonstrated to contribute to instability following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). It is unclear whether a supine Direct Anterior (DA) approach reduces the risk of instability. METHODS: A retrospective review of 1,773 patients who underwent THA through either a DA approach or a posterior approach at our institution over a 7-year period. Radiographic and chart review were then used to identify our primary group of interest comprised of 111 patients with previous IPLSF...
