Despite improved surgical techniques and prophylactic procedures, orthopaedic implant-associated infections remain high with complications that can lead to devastating outcomes for the patient. Implant coatings and associated surface modification techniques represent a promising means to prevent infections. Various approaches have emerged to address the challenges associated with implant infections, such as antibacterial resistance, biofilm prevention, and appropriate efficacy kinetics. Methods including antibiotic and antimicrobial peptide surface tethering, use of osteo-conductive and -inductive materials, and altering hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the implant surface, have all demonstrated efficacy toward diminished infection risk...

Management of patients with non-unions or stress fractures of the tibia or distal femur with debilitating ipsilateral knee arthritis can be difficult to manage. In these examples of care, we present three illustrations of using long stemmed modular total knee components to successfully manage both tibial and femoral non-unions and stress fractures as well as ipsilateral arthritis with resultant deformity. The average improvement in our knee outcome scores for these three patients via pre-operative Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR) and one-year post-operative KOOS, JR is 44...
