Zgouridou A, Kenanidis E, Potoupnis M, Tsiridis E. Global mapping of institutional and hospital-based (Level II-IV) arthroplasty registries: a scoping review. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:1219-1251. [PMID: 37768398 PMCID: PMC10858160 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03691-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Four joint arthroplasty registries (JARs) levels exist based on the recorded data type. Level I JARs are national registries that record primary data. Hospital or institutional JARs (Level II-IV) document further data (patient-reported outcomes, demographic, radiographic). A worldwide list of Level II-IV JARs must be created to effectively assess and categorize these data. METHODS Our study is a systematic scoping review that followed the PRISMA guidelines and included 648 studies. Based on their publications, the study aimed to map the existing Level II-IV JARs worldwide. The secondary aim was to record their lifetime, publications' number and frequency and recognise differences with national JARs. RESULTS One hundred five Level II-IV JARs were identified. Forty-eight hospital-based, 45 institutional, and 12 regional JARs. Fifty JARs were found in America, 39 in Europe, nine in Asia, six in Oceania and one in Africa. They have published 485 cohorts, 91 case-series, 49 case-control, nine cross-sectional studies, eight registry protocols and six randomized trials. Most cohort studies were retrospective. Twenty-three per cent of papers studied patient-reported outcomes, 21.45% surgical complications, 13.73% postoperative clinical and 5.25% radiographic outcomes, and 11.88% were survival analyses. Forty-four JARs have published only one paper. Level I JARs primarily publish implant revision risk annual reports, while Level IV JARs collect comprehensive data to conduct retrospective cohort studies. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study mapping all Level II-IV JARs worldwide. Most JARs are found in Europe and America, reporting on retrospective cohorts, but only a few report on studies systematically.

[PMID: 34736097 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.10.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 10/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knee osteoarthritis is a common condition in various orthopedic clinics and hospitals. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) application on short and long-term spatiotemporal gait parameters, maximum plantar pressure (MPP), and functional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the change process in spatiotemporal parameters without any intervention before and after TKA surgery? METHODS This study is a prospective and cross-sectional study. Participants were assessed preoperatively at the 1st week (Pre1W), postoperative 1st month (Post1M) and 6th month (Post6M). Spatiotemporal parameters and MMP were assessed using the Win Track platform (Medicapteurs Technology, France) and functional states were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Lequesne Index. RESULTS Significant improvements were found in the WOMAC and Lequesne Index values in the Post1M and Post6M periods compared to the preoperative period. However, the improvement in WOMAC and Lequesne Index scores in the Post6M period was significant compared to the scores in the Post1M period (p < 0.01). Spatiotemporal parameters deteriorated in the Post1M period, while improvements were observed in the Post6M period. We observed that patients had worse gait parameters in the near postoperative period than before surgery. It was the period with the greatest improvements in long-term outcomes. SIGNIFICANCE In the light of our study results, we think that early gait disturbances in patients who underwent direct TKA may be caused by physiological processes. Therefore, we believe that there is no need for any intervention for gait disorders that occur in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely considered a successful intervention for osteoarthritis and other degenerative knee diseases. This study addresses the need for a high-quality meta-analysis that outlines the clinical course of pain and function post-TKA. METHODS The review included prospective cohort studies assessing pain or function of patients undergoing primary TKA at baseline (preoperatively) and at least 2 additional time points including one at least 12 months postoperatively. Two reviewers independently screened references, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. The time course of recovery of pain and function was modeled using fractional polynomial meta-regression. RESULTS In total, 191 studies with 59,667 patients were included, most with low risk of bias. The variance-weighted mean pain score (/100, 0 = no pain) was 64.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 60.2-67.7) preoperatively, 24.1 (95% CI 20.3-27.9) at 3 months, 20.4 (95% CI 16.7-24.0) at 6 months, and 16.9 (95%CI 13.6-20.3) at 12 months, and remained low (10.1; 95% CI 4.8-15.4) at 10 years postoperatively. The variance-weighted mean function score (/100, 0 = worst function) was 47.1 (95% CI 45.7-48.4) preoperatively, 72.8 (95% CI 71.3-74.4) at 3 months, 76.3 (95% CI 74.7-77.8) at 6 months, and 78.1 (95%CI 76.4-79.7) at 12 months. Function scores were good (79.7; 95% CI 77.9-81.5) at 10 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing primary TKA can expect a large and rapid but incomplete recovery of pain and function in the first postoperative year. At 10 years, the gains in pain scores may still remain while there is an improvement in function.

Abstract
Aim:
Currently, there are not many studies on the long-term outcomes of the specific implants used in patients with metal hypersensitivities. The purpose of this study is to report a significant number of TKA revision failures with the CFR-PEEK prosthetic knee implant with an anatomic hinge.
Background:
Patients can experience multiple issues following a primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). A growing body of research is finding a correlation between primary TKA failure and metal hypersensitivity, most commonly with nickel and cobalt. Because of this, knee prosthetics are being made from hypoallergenic metals, such as zirconium nitride (ZrN), to minimize the number of failures due to metal allergy. Given the relatively new development of the hypoallergenic prostheses, there is sparse data about their overall success.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to report a significant number of TKA revision failures with the CFR-PEEK prosthetic knee implant with an anatomic hinge.
Methods:
In this study, we analyzed the sequelae of 84 patients between May 2015 to June 2020 who received a total knee revision due to a failed primary TKA with metal hypersensitivity. These patients were revised with the rotating anatomic hinge knee system, which consisted of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (CFR-PEEK implant) coated with a ZrN, Zirconium, and Chrome Nitride multi-layer surface coating with 30% polyacrylonitrile fiber content. The patients requiring an additional revision operation presented with increasing pain that showed evidence of osteolysis on plain radiographs, CT imaging, positive indium labeled WBC scans and increased uptake on bone scan. Intraoperatively, an open incisional biopsy of the surgical bed was obtained, followed by radical debridement and implantation of porex knee prosthesis. In addition, intraoperative findings included black debris that grossly stained the surrounding synovial tissue black, indicative of wear and debris from carbon fiber bearings and the anatomic hinge. Histology of the intraoperative biopsy showed the accumulation of black debris in the histiocyte, fibrosis, and perivascular cuffing of lymphocytes and multinucleated giant cells stained with black debris.
Results:
Of the 84 patients, 22 failed, requiring an additional revision procedure, equating to a 26 percent failure rate of the CFR-PEEK implant, averaging 25 months to failure.
Conclusion:
This study was meant to report the extremely high failure rate of the anatomic hinge secondary to carbon fiber debris. Perhaps carbon fiber-laden implants are not as good an option for total knee revision prosthesis because of the high failure rate compared to those with polyethylene in their hinge mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient physical health and provider financial health are both affected when patients are unable to attend scheduled clinic appointments. The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for patients missing appointments to better target interventions to improve appointment attendance. METHODS We reviewed scheduled arthroplasty appointments at an urban academic orthopaedic clinic over a 3-year period. We collected information including sex, race, distance to clinic, language, insurance, median income of home zip code, appointment day, time, precipitation, and temperature. Mixed-level multiple logistic regression was used to model the odds of missing appointments in Stata v14. RESULTS Overall, 8,185 visits for 3,081 unique patients were reviewed and 90.7% of appointments were attended. After controlling for time and day of appointment, distance from the clinic, and the primary language spoken, patients with government insurance were two times as likely to miss an appointment compared with privately insured patients. White patients were two times as likely to attend scheduled appointments compared with black/Hispanic patients. Younger patients (<50 years) and older patients (>73 years) were 2.7 times and 1.8 times, respectively, more likely to miss appointments compared with those aged between 65 and 72 years. Appointments on the most temperate days were more likely to be missed, and those on the coldest days (14°F to 36°F) and warmest days (69°F to 89°F) were less likely to be missed. DISCUSSION Appointment no shows are associated with sociodemographic and environmental factors. This information is valuable to help better delineate novel ways to better serve these patient populations.

Abstract
CONTEXT Postmarket surveillance is limited in the ability to detect medical device problems. Electronic health records can provide real-time information that might help with device surveillance. Specifically, the frequency of postsurgery care might indicate early problems and determine high-risk patients requiring more active surveillance. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether intensity of postsurgery care is associated with revision risk after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). DESIGN Using an integrated health care system's TJA registry, we identified primary TJA performed between April 2001 and July 2013 (22,953 knees and 9904 hips). Survival analyses evaluated the frequency of specific types of outpatient and inpatient utilization 0 to 90 and 91 to 180 days postoperatively and revision risk. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Revision surgery occurring at least 6 months after primary TJA. RESULTS Knee arthroplasty recipients with 3 or more outpatient orthopedic allied health/nurse visits within 90 days had a 2.2 times (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.6-2.9) higher risk of revision within the first 2 years postoperatively and 10.1 times higher risk (95% CI = 7.6-13.3) after 2 years. Compared with hip arthroplasty recipients who had 0 to 3 visits, patients with 6 or more outpatient orthopedic office visits within 90 days had a 15.7 times (95% CI = 5.7-42.9) higher risk of revision. Similar results were observed for 91-day to 180-day visits. CONCLUSION Future studies are needed to determine if more specific data on reasons for the higher frequency of outpatient visits can refine these findings and elicit more specific recommendations for TJA devices.

Early Spatiotemporal Patterns and Knee Kinematics during Level Walking in Individuals following Total Knee Arthroplasty. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2017; 2017:7056469. [PMID: 29065637 PMCID: PMC5554991 DOI: 10.1155/2017/7056469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2017] [Revised: 05/05/2017] [Accepted: 05/23/2017] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Purpose With the aim of investigating the spatiotemporal features of early gait pattern and knee kinematics after total knee arthroplasty and analyzing the association between outcomes of gait analyses and knee kinematic parameters, the relationship between walking and dynamic knee deformity at the early period after total knee arthroplasty was assessed in this study. Methods Eighteen patients including 14 women and 4 men who underwent total knee arthroplasty were analyzed using three-dimensional gait analysis system to observe gait parameters and values of maximum knee flexion angle (MKFA) during swing phase and knee flexion angle (KFA) and knee valgus angle (KVA) at midstance phase. Results 3D gait analysis showed that operated side exhibited significantly less total support time and single support time as well as significantly longer swing phase compared with the other side. During walking, the operated side had significantly smaller MKFA and greater KFA and KVA than the nonoperated side. There was moderate to significant correlation between gait pattern and the dynamic knee kinematics. Conclusion The gait abnormality of patients after TKA was associated with inadequate flexion of knees at swing phase and insufficient extension at stance phase as well as increased range of valgus.
