Abstract
BACKGROUND Cementless tibial baseplates in total knee arthroplasty include fixation features (eg, pegs, spikes, and keels) to ensure sufficient primary bone-implant stability. While the design of these features plays a fundamental role in biologic fixation, the effectiveness of anterior spikes in reducing bone-implant micromotion remains unclear. Therefore, we asked: Can an anterior spike reduce the bone-implant micromotion of cementless tibial implants? METHODS We performed computational finite element analyses on 13 tibiae using the computed tomography scans of patients scheduled for primary total knee arthroplasty. The tibiae were virtually implanted with a cementless tibial baseplate with 2 designs of fixation of the baseplate: 2 pegs and 2 pegs with an anterior spike. We compared the bone-implant micromotion under the most demanding loads from stair ascent between both designs. RESULTS Both fixation designs had peak micromotion at the anterior-lateral edge of the baseplate. The design with 2 pegs and an anterior spike had up to 15% lower peak micromotion and up to 14% more baseplate area with micromotions below the most conservative threshold for ingrowth, 20 μm, than the design with only 2 pegs. The greatest benefit of adding an anterior spike occurred for subjects who had the smallest area of tibial bone below the 20 μm threshold (ie, most at risk for failure to achieve bone ingrowth). CONCLUSIONS An anteriorly placed spike for cementless tibial baseplates with 2 pegs can help decrease the bone-implant micromotion during stair ascent, especially for subjects with increased bone-implant micromotion and risk for bone ingrowth failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Identification of femoral component debonding in the work-up of painful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often poses a diagnostic challenge. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of radiographs, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identifying femoral component loosening with debonding at the time of revision of a primary TKA with a recalled polyethylene insert. METHODS Using an institutional database, we identified all cases of revision TKA performed for this specific implant recall following a primary TKA between 2014 and 2022. Patients who had a preoperative radiograph, CT, and MRI were included (n = 77). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR) for predicting loosening were compared among the imaging modalities, using the intraoperative evidence of implant loosening as the gold standard. RESULTS At the time of revision surgery, the femoral component was noted to have aseptic loosening with debonding in 46 of the 77 (60%) of the TKAs. There were no significant differences in demographics in the cohort with femoral debonding compared to those with well-fixed implants. The CT demonstrated a sensitivity of 28% and a specificity of 97%, while the MRI demonstrated a sensitivity of 37% and a specificity of 94% for detecting femoral loosening due to debonding. Both CT and MRI demonstrated poor negative likelihood ratios for femoral loosening (LR 0.7). CONCLUSION In this series of revision TKAs for a specific recalled component, neither CT nor MRI accurately diagnosed femoral component debonding. For patients who have this implant, it is imperative to interrogate the implant-cement interface intraoperatively and prepare for full revision surgery as well as marked bone loss secondary to osteolysis.

Abstract
Aims Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPF) is a major complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Uncemented femoral components are widely preferred in primary THA, but are associated with higher PPF risk than cemented components. Collared components have reduced PPF rates following uncemented primary THA compared to collarless components, while maintaining similar prosthetic designs. The purpose of this study was to analyze PPF rate between collarless and collared component designs in a consecutive cohort of posterior approach THAs performed by two high-volume surgeons. Methods This retrospective series included 1,888 uncemented primary THAs using the posterior approach performed by two surgeons (PKS, JMV) from January 2016 to December 2022. Both surgeons switched from collarless to collared components in mid-2020, which was the only change in surgical practice. Data related to component design, PPF rate, and requirement for revision surgery were collected. A total of 1,123 patients (59.5%) received a collarless femoral component and 765 (40.5%) received a collared component. PPFs were identified using medical records and radiological imaging. Fracture rates between collared and collarless components were analyzed. Power analysis confirmed 80% power of the sample to detect a significant difference in PPF rates, and a Fisher's exact test was performed to determine an association between collared and collarless component use on PPF rates. Results Overall, 17 PPFs occurred (0.9%). There were 16 fractures out of 1,123 collarless femoral components (1.42%) and one fracture out of 765 collared components (0.13%; p = 0.002). The majority of fractures (n = 14; 82.4%) occurred within 90 days of primary THA. There were ten reoperations for PPF with collarless components (0.89%) and one reoperation with a collared component (0.13%; p = 0.034). Conclusion Collared femoral components were associated with significant decreases in PPF rate and reoperation rate for PPF compared to collarless components in uncemented primary THA. Future studies should investigate whether new-generation collared components reduce PPF rates with longer-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic extensor mechanism disruption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare but challenging condition. There are several surgical approaches for quadriceps tendon repairs. In this report, we present a modified surgical technique for quadriceps tendon repair in chronic extensor mechanism disruption without the use of allografts or mesh augmentation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 12 consecutive cases of chronic extensor mechanism with complete quadriceps tendon ruptures after TKA that underwent the advancement and imbrication technique. Patient outcomes were evaluated using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, the range of motion and extensor lag measurements, and standardized lateral radiographs were reviewed for Insall-Salvati-Ratio preoperatively and at their most recent follow-up visit. RESULTS There were 12 knees from patients who had a mean age of 72 years (range, 62 to 81) and were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 15.9 months (range, 11.4 to 50.9). The extensor lag significantly improved from 40.8 ± 31.9° (range, 10 to 90°) to 2.9 ± 6.9° (P = .014), the Insall-Salvati-Ratio significantly changed from 0.87 to 1.07 (P = .010), and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement showed a significant difference: a raw score of 13.0 ± 5.8 versus 8.7 ± 5.6 (P = .002) and an interval score of 54.1 ± 14.0 versus 66.2 ± 15.6 (P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Reconstruction of extensor mechanism in chronic quadriceps tendon ruptures after TKA with the advancement and imbrication technique showed excellent functional outcomes with no extensor lag and excellent restoration of motion. This technique can be combined with TKA revision surgery or used on its own. To ensure successful outcomes, the authors favor rigid immobilization for 12 weeks before starting mobilization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acetabular bone loss is a challenging clinical problem when performing revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). This study aimed to evaluate how acetabular bone loss severity influences (1) clinical outcomes and (2) patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in rTHA patients. METHODS Patients who underwent rTHA with acetabular component revision from January 2016 to February 2022 were included. Treating surgeons determined Paprosky acetabular bone loss classification intraoperatively. Patients were grouped based on numeric classification (PI, PII, or PIII) to categorize severity. Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS, JR.) and Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS) score were collected preoperatively and one year postoperatively. There were 197 patients included. Paprosky classification was PI for 47 patients (23.9%), PII for 113 patients (57.4%), and PIII for 37 patients (18.8%). Mean clinical follow-up was 29 months (range, 1 to 69). RESULTS Reoperation rate was 0% (0 patients), 6.2% (7 patients), and 10.8% (4 patients) for PI, PII and PIII groups respectively (p=0.052). Mean preoperative HOOS, JR. and LEAS for PI, PII and PIII groups were significantly different, but one-year postoperative HOOS, JR. and LEAS did not differ significantly. Rates of HOOS, JR. minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement differed significantly between bone loss groups. CONCLUSION In this study of rTHA patients, greater acetabular bone loss severity was associated with worse preoperative PROMs and trended towards higher reoperation rate. Postoperative PROMs for bone loss severity groups were statistically similar. Patients who had worse acetabular bone loss were more likely to achieve HOOS, JR. MCID postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) rises, a predictive model for THA risk may aid patients and clinicians in augmenting shared decision-making. We aimed to develop and validate a model predicting THA within 10 years in patients using demographic, clinical, and deep learning (DL)-automated radiographic measurements. METHODS Patients enrolled in the Osteoarthritis Initiative were included. DL algorithms measuring osteoarthritis- and dysplasia-relevant parameters on baseline pelvis radiographs were developed. Demographic, clinical, and radiographic measurement variables were then used to train generalized additive models to predict THA within 10 years from baseline. A total of 4,796 patients were included (9,592 hips; 58% female; 230 THAs (2.4%)). Model performance using 1) baseline demographic and clinical variables 2) radiographic variables, and 3) all variables were compared. RESULTS Using 110 demographic and clinical variables, the model had a baseline area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 0.68 and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.08. Using 26 DL-automated hip measurements, the AUROC was 0.77 and AUPRC was 0.22. Combining all variables, the model improved to an AUROC of 0.81 and AUPRC of 0.28. Three of the top five predictive features in the combined model were radiographic variables including minimum joint space along with hip pain and analgesic use. Partial dependency plots revealed predictive discontinuities for radiographic measurements consistent with literature thresholds of osteoarthritis progression and hip dysplasia. CONCLUSION A machine learning model predicting 10-year THA performed more accurately with DL radiographic measurements. The model weighted predictive variables in concordance with clinical THA-pathology assessments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered less invasive than the posterolateral approach (PLA), possibly leading to earlier mobilization, faster recovery, and lower levels of thrombogenic markers. The purpose of the current study was to prospectively compare readiness for discharge, rehabilitation milestones, markers of thrombosis and inflammation at 6 weeks postoperatively between DAA and PLA. METHODS A total of 40 patients (20 anterior and 20 posterolateral) were prospectively enrolled. Readiness for discharge, length of stay (LOS), and related outcomes were additionally documented. Blood was drawn at baseline, wound closure, 5-h post-closure, and 24-h post-closure for assays of interleukin-6 (IL-6), PAP (plasmin anti-plasmin), a marker of fibrinolysis, and PF1.2 (Prothrombin fragment 1.2), a marker of thrombin generation. RESULTS Compared to the PLA group, the DAA group was ready for discharge a mean 13 h earlier (p = 0.03), while rehabilitation milestones were met a mean 10 h earlier (p = 0.04), and LOS was 13 h shorter (p = 0.02) on average. Pain scores at all study timepoints and patient satisfaction at 6 weeks were similar (p > 0.05). At 24 h postoperatively, PAP levels were 537.53 ± 94.1 µg/L vs. 464.39 ± 114.6 µg/L (p = 0.05), and Il-6 levels were 40.94 ± 26.1 pg/mL vs. 60.51 ± 33.0 pg/mL (p = 0.03), in DAA vs. PLA, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the immediate postoperative period, DAA patients were ready for discharge before PLA patients. DAA patients had shorter LOS, a lower inflammatory response, and higher systemic markers of fibrinolysis. However, these differences may not be clinically significant. Future studies with larger study populations are warranted to confirm the validity and significance of these findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, Therapeutic Study.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess mid-term survivorship following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with Optetrak Logic components and identify the most common revision indications at a single institution. We identified a retrospective cohort of 7,941 Optetrak primary TKAs performed from January 2010 to December 2018. We reviewed the intraoperative findings of 369 TKAs that required revision TKA from January 2010 to December 2021 and the details of the revision implants used. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine survivorship. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the impact of patient variables and year of implantation on survival time. The estimated survivorship free of all-cause revision was 98% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97% to 98%), 95% (95% CI 95% to 96%), and 86% (95% CI 83% to 88%) at two, five, and ten years, respectively. In 209/369 revisions there was a consistent constellation of findings with varying severity that included polyethylene wear and associated synovitis, osteolysis, and component loosening. This failure mode, which we refer to as aseptic mechanical failure, was the most common revision indication. The mean time from primary TKA to revision for aseptic mechanical failure was five years (5 months to 11 years). In this series of nearly 8,000 primary TKAs performed with a specific implant, we identified a lower-than-expected mid-term survivorship and a high number of revisions with a unique presentation. This study, along with the recent recall of the implant, confirms the need for frequent monitoring of patients with Optetrak TKAs given the incidence of polyethylene failure, osteolysis, and component loosening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving adequate implant fixation is critical to optimize survivorship and postoperative outcomes after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Three anatomical zones (ie, epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) have been proposed to assess fixation, but are not well-defined. The purpose of the study was to develop a deep learning workflow capable of automatically delineating rTKA zones and cone placements in a standardized way on postoperative radiographs. METHODS A total of 235 patients who underwent rTKA were randomly partitioned (6:2:2 training, validation, and testing split), and a U-Net segmentation workflow was developed to delineate rTKA fixation zones and assess revision cone placement on anteroposterior radiographs. Algorithm performance for zone delineation and cone placement were compared against ground truths from a fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeon using the dice segmentation coefficient and accuracy metrics. RESULTS On the testing cohort, the algorithm defined zones in 98% of images (8 seconds/image) using anatomical landmarks. The dice segmentation coefficient between the model and surgeon was 0.89 ± 0.08 (interquartile range [IQR]:0.88-0.94) for femoral zones, 0.91 ± 0.08 (IQR: 0.91-0.95) for tibial zones, and 0.90 ± 0.05 (IQR:0.88-0.94) for all zones. Cone identification and zonal cone placement accuracy were 98% and 96%, respectively, for the femur and 96% and 89%, respectively, for the tibia. CONCLUSION A deep learning algorithm was developed to automatically delineate revision zones and cone placements on postoperative rTKA radiographs in an objective, standardized manner. The performance of the algorithm was validated against a trained surgeon, suggesting that the algorithm demonstrated excellent predictive capabilities in accordance with relevant anatomical landmarks used by arthroplasty surgeons in practice.

Abstract
Concerns persist that the Optetrak Logic posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) femoral component might correlate with early failures due to aseptic loosening. The primary aim of this study was to examine if the use of the Optetrak Logic PS femoral component is associated with early (<5 years) and more extensive aseptic loosening compared with other PS femoral components. This is a single-institution retrieval analysis and revision registry study (based on prospectively collected data) of 27 failed primary PS TKA patients with loose femoral components that underwent revision TKAs between 2016 and 2019. Patients were stratified by components type: Group A (n = 16) received the Optetrak Logic PS femoral component, while Group B (n = 11) received other PS femoral components. Burnishing (macroscopic polishing of the component's backside) was observed and graded as a marker for relative motion at the cement-implant interface. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the baseline demographic, radiographic, and clinical characteristics. Mean length of implantation for Group A (3.8 ± 2.9 years) was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) than that of Group B (12.0 ± 6.7 years). A significant difference (p = 0.009) was found in presence of backside femoral burnishing between Group A (15 of 16 patients; 93.8%) and group B (5 of 11 patients; 45.6%). Furthermore, we found a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the severity of burnishing between Group A (13 of 16 patients with severe degree of burnishing; 81.3%) and Group B (1 of 11 patients with severe degree of burnishing; 9.1%). In contrast to Group B, a distinctive macroscopic pattern found in Logic retrieved femoral components (Group A) was the total absence of cement in the backside surface. The use of the Optetrak Logic PS TKA femoral component was associated with early aseptic loosening and increased presence and severity of backside burnishing with early cement-implant interface debonding compared with other commercially available types of PS TKA femoral components. The earlier failure rate with this implant is of concern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine dual reuptake inhibitor, may improve analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Previous studies had one primary outcome, did not consistently use multimodal analgesia, and used patient-controlled analgesia devices, potentially delaying discharge. We investigated whether duloxetine would reduce opioid consumption or pain with ambulation. METHODS A total of 160 patients received 60 mg duloxetine or placebo daily, starting from the day of surgery and continuing 14 days postoperatively. Patients received neuraxial anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and oral opioids as needed. The dual primary outcomes were Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores with movement on postoperative days 1, 2, and 14, and cumulative opioid consumption surgery through postoperative day 14. RESULTS Duloxetine was noninferior to placebo for both primary outcomes and was superior to placebo for opioid consumption. Opioid consumption (mean ± SD) was 288 ± 226 mg OME [94, 385] vs 432 ± 374 [210, 540] (duloxetine vs placebo) P = .0039. Pain scores on POD14 were 4.2 ± 2.0 vs 4.8 ± 2.2 (duloxetine vs placebo) P = .018. Median satisfaction with pain management was 10 (8, 10) and 8 (7, 10) (duloxetine vs placebo) P = .046. Duloxetine reduced interference by pain with walking, normal work, and sleep. CONCLUSION The 29% reduction in opioid use corresponds to 17 fewer pills of oxycodone, 5 mg, and was achieved without increasing pain scores. Considering the ongoing opioid epidemic, duloxetine can be used to reduce opioid usage after knee arthroplasty in selected patients that can be appropriately monitored for potential side effects of the medication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) stiffness are commonly presumed to have arthrofibrosis though no specific test exists. In patients undergoing revision TKA, we asked the following question: (1) Do patients who are revised for stiffness display a synovial reaction on MRI that is different than patients revised for other reasons? (2) Do these patients have a different magnitude of polyethylene insert damage than patients revised for other reasons? and (3) Is the MRI synovial classification associated with polyethylene insert damage? METHODS Patients undergoing revision TKA for stiffness had a preoperative MRI performed, and the synovium was classified on MRI in a blinded fashion as arthrofibrosis, focal scarring, polymeric reaction, infection, or abnormal. At surgery, the polyethylene inserts were removed, and graded by 2 reviewers for total surface damage. RESULTS Revision indication and MRI synovial classification were associated (P < .0001), with a greater proportion of patients assigned an MRI classification of arthrofibrosis revised for arthrofibrosis and a greater proportion of patients assigned a polymeric classification revised for aseptic loosening. Patients assigned an MRI synovial classification of polymeric had the greatest damage to the tibial insert (P < .0001), and patients revised for the clinical indication of aseptic loosening had the greatest damage to the tibial insert (P < .0001). CONCLUSION Synovial grading on MRI is strongly associated with revision indication and polyethylene insert damage. In patients with stiffness in the absence of another complication, MRI can be a helpful diagnostic adjuvant in confirming the diagnosis of stiffness.

Abstract
Background: Bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) procedures are associated with an increased risk of complications when compared with unilateral approaches. In 2006, in an attempt to reduce this risk, our institution implemented selection criteria that specified younger and healthier patients as candidates for BTKA. Questions/Purpose: We sought to investigate the effect of these selection criteria on perioperative outcomes. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we used institutional data to identify patients who underwent BTKA between 1998 and 2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those who underwent surgery before the 2006 introduction of our selection criteria (1998-2006) and those who underwent surgery after (2007-2014). Groups were compared in terms of demographics, comorbidity burden, and incidence of perioperative complications. Regression analysis was performed, calculating incidence rate ratios to evaluate changes in complication rates. Results: Before the selection criteria were implemented in 2006, patients who underwent BTKA were older and had a higher comorbidity burden. The rate of major complications per 1000 hospital days decreased from 31.5 in 1998 to 7.9 in 2014. A reduction in cardiac complications was the most significant contributor to this decrease in major complications. Conclusion: After stringent criteria for BTKA candidates were implemented at our institution, selection of younger patients with lower comorbidity burden was accompanied by a reduction in the incidence of operative complications. This suggests that introducing such criteria can be associated with a reduction in adverse perioperative outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) is becoming a more common procedure due to the increasing volume of primary total hip arthroplasty. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently projected to affect 4.4% of the global population by 2030. Diabetes has been associated with poor outcomes for a variety of surgical interventions. However, the impact of insulin dependence has yet to be fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of insulin dependence on acute postoperative complications following rTHA. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program database. All patients who underwent rTHA between 2006 and 2016 were identified and recorded as having non-insulin-dependent DM (NIDDM), insulin-dependent DM (IDDM) or no DM. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the incidence of multiple adverse events within 30 days after rTHA. RESULTS A total of 7685 patients were evaluated (No DM = 6651, NIDDM = 700, IDDM = 334). Univariate analysis revealed that all patients with DM had significantly higher incidences of postoperative complications (NIDDM: p < 0.001; IDDM: p < 0.001) and extended hospital length of stay (NIDDM: p = 0.015; IDDM: p < 0.0001). NIDDM was associated with increased rates of superficial surgical site infection (SSI) (p = 0.001), deep SSI (p = 0.038), and stroke (p = 0.013), while IDDM was associated with increased rates of pneumonia (p < 0.001), renal failure (p < 0.001), and postoperative transfusion (p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, insulin-dependence was determined to be an independent risk factor for extended hospital length of stay (OR 1.905; 95% CI, 1.410-2.577; p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR 4.016; 95% CI, 1.799-8.929; p = 0.001), renal failure (OR 7.143; 95% CI, 2.203-23.256; p = 0.001) and postoperative transfusion (OR 1.366; 95% CI, 1.076-1.733; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Insulin dependence is an independent risk factor for numerous short-term postoperative complications following rTHA. When assessing risk and planning perioperative management, surgeons should consider insulin-dependent diabetics as a sub-cohort within the diabetic population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of hyponatremia after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) may lead to several adverse events and is associated with prolonged inpatient length of stay as well as increased hospital costs. The purpose of this study was to develop and internally validate machine learning algorithms for predicting hyponatremia after TJA. METHODS A consecutive cohort of 30,703 TJA patients from an institutional registry at a large, tertiary academic hospital were included. A total of 19 potential predictor variables were collected. Hyponatremia was defined as a serum sodium concentration of <135 mEq/L. Five machine learning algorithms were developed using a training set and internally validated using an independent testing set. Algorithm performance was evaluated through discrimination, calibration, decision-curve analysis, and Brier score. RESULTS The charts of 30,703 patients undergoing TJA were reviewed. Of those patients, 5,480 (17.8%) developed hyponatremia postoperatively. A combination of 6 variables were demonstrated to optimize algorithm prediction: preoperative serum sodium concentration, age, intraoperative blood loss, procedure time, body mass index (BMI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score. Threshold values that were associated with greater hyponatremia risk were a preoperative serum sodium concentration of ≤138 mEq/L, an age of ≥73 years, an ASA score of >2, intraoperative blood loss of >407 mL, a BMI of ≤26 kg/m2, and a procedure time of >111 minutes. The stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) algorithm demonstrated the best performance (c-statistic: 0.75, calibration intercept: -0.02, calibration slope: 1.02, and Brier score: 0.12). This algorithm was turned into a tool that can provide real-time predictions (https://orthoapps.shinyapps.io/Hyponatremia_TJA/). CONCLUSIONS The SGB algorithm demonstrated the best performance for predicting hyponatremia after TJA. The most important factors for predicting hyponatremia were preoperative serum sodium concentration, age, intraoperative blood loss, procedure time, BMI, and ASA score. A real-time hyponatremia risk calculator was developed, but it is imperative to perform external validation of this model prior to using this calculator in clinical practice. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Background: Short-term benefits of perioperative corticosteroid injections (CSIs) for bilateral total knee replacement (BTKR) include suppressed inflammation, improved knee motion, and reduced pain. Very little is known about the long-term benefits, complications, and safety of corticosteroids administered in the perioperative period. Purpose: We sought to compare 3-year follow-up outcomes of BTKR patients who received perioperative CSI with those who received placebo. We hypothesized that there would be no statistically significant differences in functional outcomes or adverse events based on whether or not CSIs were administered in the perioperative period. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of chart and registry data of BTKR patients from a prior randomized controlled trial to compare outcomes in patients who received hydrocortisone vs placebo injections after BTKR (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01399268 and NCT01815918). Outcomes were compared at 6 and 12 weeks and at 1, 2, and 3 years. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests were used to compare the risk of complications between treatments after adjustment for trial. When possible, summary relative risk estimates were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method. Results: No BTKR patients in the treatment group developed an infection. The risk of complications did not increase in patients who received CSI compared with those who received placebo. Patients in the CSI group experienced greater reductions in pain and stiffness, though these results were not statistically significant. There were no statistically significant differences in the KOOS-Symptoms, KOOS-Activities of Daily Living, KOOS-Sports, KOOS-Quality of Life, or WOMAC Function scores. Conclusions: Low-dose corticosteroids can be administered in selected patients who undergo BTKR without increasing the risk of adverse events. At 3-year follow-up, administration of low-dose corticosteroids did not result in superior clinical outcomes scores when compared with placebo.

Abstract
Background Questions exist about the release of cobalt and chromium ions from dual mobility (DM) cups. Modular implants, with potential backside wear between the cobalt-chromium liner and titanium cup, are of particular concern. This study compares the metal ion profile of patients with contemporary monoblock and modular DM articulations from two commonly used designs. Methods Cobalt and chromium serum levels were measured one year after surgery in a prospective cohort of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with a DM construct. Ion levels were detected above 1 μg/L. Clinical and surgical data were correlated with the ion levels for analysis. Results Overall, 29% of the patients had levels above 1 μg/L of either ion. More patients with modular cups had detectable ions than patients with monoblock cups (39% vs 20%, P = .05). Cobalt was more commonly detected in the monoblock group, and chromium was more commonly detected in the modular group (P = .05). There were no differences in the actual ion levels between the groups (1.35 μg/L vs 1.64 μg/L, P = .44, for cobalt and 1.35 μg/L vs 1.31 μg/L, P = .77, for chromium). No patient underwent revision during the follow-up period. Conclusions We found similar cobalt and chromium levels in patients with monoblock and modular DM cups. More patients in the modular group had detectable ions. Cobalt was more frequently detected in the monoblock group. These results suggest that both implants are performing well in the short term, but further follow-up is needed to determine whether the differences found are of clinical significance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With improved materials and bearing surfaces, the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in young patients is increasing. Functional outcomes and activity level are particularly relevant in this higher-demand patient population. There is a paucity of data on patient-reported outcomes and activity levels after THA in extremely young (<21 years old) patients. METHODS We identified 196 patients (222 hips) who underwent THA at age <21 years at our institution from 1982 to 2018. After applying exclusion criteria, 113 of 160 (70.6%) patients (129 hips) were available for follow-up. Patient activity levels and functional outcomes were evaluated using the UCLA activity score, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement, and a validated 5-question satisfaction survey. Survivorship and reasons for revision were recorded. RESULTS The mean age at surgery was 17.0 ± 2.8 years, and the mean follow-up was 13.2 years (range 2-38 years). The most common indications for THA were osteonecrosis (34%) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (30%). The mean UCLA activity score was 5.9 ± 2.0, and 64% of patients reported a score ≥6. The mean FJS was 57.9 ± 31.0. The mean Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement score was 84.6 ± 16.6. Ninety percent of patients reported that they were very or somewhat satisfied with their surgery. At final follow-up, 27 of 129 (20.9%) hips had undergone revision surgery. CONCLUSION THA performed in patients under 21 years of age with end-stage hip disease allows for high levels of activity and satisfaction postoperatively, with most patients being able to participate in moderate recreational activities. These data may be useful for surgeons in planning for and counseling extremely young patients indicated for THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over 1 million Americans undergo joint replacement each year, and approximately 1 in 75 will incur a periprosthetic joint infection. Effective treatment necessitates pathogen identification, yet standard-of-care cultures fail to detect organisms in 10% to 20% of cases and require invasive sampling. We hypothesized that cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments from microorganisms in a periprosthetic joint infection can be found in the bloodstream and utilized to accurately identify pathogens via next-generation sequencing. METHODS In this prospective observational study performed at a musculoskeletal specialty hospital in the U.S., we enrolled 53 adults with validated hip or knee periprosthetic joint infections. Participants had peripheral blood drawn immediately prior to surgical treatment. Microbial cfDNA from plasma was sequenced and aligned to a genome database with >1,000 microbial species. Intraoperative tissue and synovial fluid cultures were performed per the standard of care. The primary outcome was accuracy in organism identification with use of blood cfDNA sequencing, as measured by agreement with tissue-culture results. RESULTS Intraoperative and preoperative joint cultures identified an organism in 46 (87%) of 53 patients. Microbial cfDNA sequencing identified the joint pathogen in 35 cases, including 4 of 7 culture-negative cases (57%). Thus, as an adjunct to cultures, cfDNA sequencing increased pathogen detection from 87% to 94%. The median time to species identification for cases with genus-only culture results was 3 days less than standard-of-care methods. Circulating cfDNA sequencing in 14 cases detected additional microorganisms not grown in cultures. At postoperative encounters, cfDNA sequencing demonstrated no detection or reduced levels of the infectious pathogen. CONCLUSIONS Microbial cfDNA from pathogens causing local periprosthetic joint infections can be detected in peripheral blood. These circulating biomarkers can be sequenced from noninvasive venipuncture, providing a novel source for joint pathogen identification. Further development as an adjunct to tissue cultures holds promise to increase the number of cases with accurate pathogen identification and improve time-to-speciation. This test may also offer a novel method to monitor infection clearance during the treatment period. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic Level II.

Abstract
Recently, a variety of studies have analyzed the potential correlation between lumbar degenerative disease (LDD) and inferior clinical outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. However, there has been limited data concerning the role of LDD as a risk factor for failure after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of our study was to determine: (1) what is the association of LDDs with TKA failure (all-cause revision) within 2 years of index arthroplasty and (2) if patients with LDD and lumbar fusion are at increased risk of TKA revision within 2 years compared with LDD patients without fusion. Data were collected from the Humana insurance database using the PearlDiver database from 2007 to 2017. To assess aim 1, patients were stratified into two groups based on a prior history of LDD (International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-9 or -10 diagnostic codes). To analyze aim 2, patients within the LDD cohort were stratified based on the presence of lumbar fusion (lumbar fusion Current Procedural Terminology code). All-cause revision rate was 3.4% among LDD patients versus 2.4% of patients with non-LDD (p < 0.001) at 2 years. Following multivariate analysis, LDD patients were at increased risk of all-cause revision surgery at 2 years (odds ratio [OR]: 1.361; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.238-1.498; p < 0.001) as well as aseptic loosening (OR: 1.533; 95% CI: 1.328-1.768; p < 0.001), periprosthetic joint infection (OR: 1.245; 95% CI: 1.129-1.373; p < 0.001), and periprosthetic fracture (OR: 1.521; 95% CI: 1.229-1.884; p < 0.001). Among LDD patients, patients who have a lumbar fusion had an all-cause revision rate of 5.0%, compared with 3.2% among LDD with no lumbar fusion patients at 2 years (p = 0.021). Following multivariate analysis, lumbar fusion patients were at increased risk of all-cause revision surgery (OR: 1.402; 95% CI: 1.362-1.445; p = 0.028), aseptic loosening (OR: 1.432; 95% CI: 1.376-1.489; p = 0.042), and periprosthetic fracture (OR: 1.302; 95% CI: 1.218-1.392; p = 0.037). Based on these findings, TKA candidates with preoperative LDD should be counseled that TKA outcome may be impaired by the coexistence of lumbar spine degenerative disease. This is Level III therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have evaluated the survivorship and clinical outcomes of constrained acetabular liners (CALs) in complex primary and revision total hip arthroplasty with hip instability; however, there remains no consensus on the overall performance of this constrained implant. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature to examine survivorship and complication rate of CAL usage. METHODS A systematic review of the literature in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was performed. A comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for English articles using various combinations of keywords. RESULTS In all, 37 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 4152 CALs were implanted. The all-cause reoperation-free survivorship was 79.9%. The overall complication rate was 22.2%. Dislocation was the most common complications observed and the most frequent reason for reoperation with an incidence of 9.4% and 9.2%, respectively. Infection after CAL placement had an incidence of 4.6%. The reoperation rate for aseptic acetabular component loosening was 2.9%. Overall, patients had improved outcomes as documented by postoperative hip scores. CONCLUSION CALs usage have a relatively high complication rate, particularly when compared with current bearing alternatives (dual mobility cups and large diameter femoral heads), however, it remains a valuable salvage procedure in complex patients affected by recurrent dislocation and implant instability. Newer designs have shown reduced impingement and higher survivorship free from dislocation. However, CALs should only be used when the reasons of instability have been correctly recognized and optimized.

Abstract
AIMS Many patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have severe osteoarthritis (OA) in both knees and may consider either simultaneous or staged bilateral TKA. The implications of simultaneous versus staged bilateral TKA for return to work are not well understood. We hypothesized that employed patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA would have significantly fewer days missed from work compared with the sum of days missed from each operation for patients who underwent staged bilateral TKA. METHODS The prospective arthroplasty registry at the Hospital for Special Surgery was used. Baseline characteristics and patient-reported outcome scores were evaluated. We used a linear regression model, adjusting for potential confounding variables including age, sex, preoperative BMI, and type of work (sedentary, moderate, high activity, or strenuous), to analyze time lost from work after simultaneous compared with staged bilateral TKA. RESULTS We identified 152 employed patients who had undergone simultaneous bilateral TKA and 61 who had undergone staged bilateral TKA, and had completed the registry's return to work questionnaire. The simultaneous group missed a mean of 46.2 days (SD 29.1) compared with the staged group who missed a mean total of 68.0 days of work (SD 46.1) when combining both operations. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). In multivariate mixed regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, and type of work, the simultaneous group missed a mean of 16.9 (SD 5.7) fewer days of work compared with the staged group (95% confidence interval 5.8 to 28.1; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Employed patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA missed a mean of 17 fewer days of work as a result of their surgical treatment and rehabilitation compared with those undergoing staged bilateral TKA. This information may be useful to surgeons counselling employed patients with bilateral OA of the knee who are considering surgical treatment.

Abstract
Antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) is broadly used to treat orthopaedic infections based on the rationale that high-dose local delivery is essential to eradicate biofilm-associated bacteria. However, ALBC formulations are empirically based on drug susceptibility from routine laboratory testing, which is known to have limited clinical relevance for biofilms. There are also dosing concerns with nonstandardized, surgeon-directed, hand-mixed formulations, which have unknown release kinetics. On the basis of our knowledge of in vivo biofilms, pathogen virulence, safety issues with nonstandardized ALBC formulations, and questions about the cost-effectiveness of ALBC, there is a need to evaluate the evidence for this clinical practice. To this end, thought leaders in the field of musculoskeletal infection (MSKI) met on 1 August 2019 to review and debate published and anecdotal information, which highlighted four major concerns about current ALBC use: (a) substantial lack of level 1 evidence to demonstrate efficacy; (b) ALBC formulations become subtherapeutic following early release, which risks induction of antibiotic resistance, and exacerbated infection from microbial colonization of the carrier; (c) the absence of standardized formulation protocols, and Food and Drug Administration-approved high-dose ALBC products to use following resection in MSKI treatment; and (d) absence of a validated assay to determine the minimum biofilm eradication concentration to predict ALBC efficacy against patient specific micro-organisms. Here, we describe these concerns in detail, and propose areas in need of research.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal infections (MSKIs) remain a major health burden in orthopaedics. Bacterial toxins are foundational to pathogenesis in MSKI, but poorly understood by the community of providers that care for patients with MSKI, inducing an international group of microbiologists, infectious diseases specialists, orthopaedic surgeons and biofilm scientists to review the literature in this field to identify key topics and compile the current knowledge on the role of toxins in MSKI, with the goal of illuminating potential impact on biofilm formation and dispersal as well as therapeutic strategies. The group concluded that further research is needed to maximize our understanding of the effect of toxins on MSKIs, including: (i) further research to identify the roles of bacterial toxins in MSKIs, (ii) establish the understanding of the importance of environmental and host factors and in vivo expression of toxins throughout the course of an infection, (iii) establish the principles of drug-ability of antitoxins as antimicrobial agents in MSKIs, (iv) have well-defined metrics of success for antitoxins as antiinfective drugs, (v) design a cocktail of antitoxins against specific pathogens to (a) inhibit biofilm formation and (b) inhibit toxin release. The applicability of antitoxins as potential antimicrobials in the era of rising antibiotic resistance could meet the needs of day-to-day clinicians.

Abstract
Given the growing rate of revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs), it is important to understand the potential risk factors associated with postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to determine the role of operative time in postoperative complications in revision TKA. A retrospective cohort study was performed using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients who had undergone revision TKA between 2007 and 2016 were identified and analyzed based on operative time. The effect of operative time on postoperative complications was examined using multinomial multivariate analysis. A total of 14,769 revision TKA patients were included. On adjusted multivariate analysis, each additional 15 minutes of operative time increased the likelihood of wound complications (odds ratio, 1.023; P=.020), postoperative blood transfusion (odds ratio, 1.169; P<.001), and extended hospital stay (odds ratio, 1.060; P<.001). An increase of 15 minutes of operative time was associated with several postoperative complications. Although operative time is often an uncontrollable factor, surgeons should consider the effect of prolonged operative time on potential complications in the acute postoperative period.

Abstract
Background Prior spinal fusion significantly increases the risk of dislocation in patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Owing to these high risks, surgeons may use dual-mobility (DM) constructs in these patients to optimize hip stability. However, there is a paucity of data on the outcomes of DM constructs in patients who underwent prior spinal fusions. Methods We retrospectively identified 80 patients (86 THAs) who underwent a spinal arthrodesis and a subsequent posterior approach THA with a DM construct. The median number of levels fused was 4, with 59 (74%) patients having 2 or more levels fused; in addition, 50 (63%) patients were fused to the sacrum. Ninety percent and 55% of THAs were within the Lewinnek safe zone for inclination and anteversion, respectively. Patients were evaluated for any episode of hip instability, complications, and patient reported outcome measures. Results At 3-year mean follow-up, no patients sustained a postoperative dislocation or intraprosthetic dislocation (0%). Overall, there were 6 (7.5%) complications during the study period leading to reoperation in 3 (4%) patients, none related to the acetabular component or instability. Hip Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Joint Replacement scores significantly improved from a mean of 50 preoperatively to 87 postoperatively (P < .001), and the Veterans Rand 12 Item Health Survey physical score improved from a mean of 31 preoperatively to 44 postoperatively (P < .001). Conclusion In a high-risk series of patients who underwent prior spinal fusion, posterolateral primary THA with a DM construct demonstrated no dislocations at mean 3-year follow-up. Although these early data are clearly encouraging, more patients with longer term follow-up are needed.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the severity of anaemia on postoperative complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. All patients who underwent primary TKA or THA between January 2012 and December 2017 were identified and stratified based upon hematocrit level. In this analysis, we defined anaemia as packed cell volume (Hct) < 36% for women and < 39% for men, and further stratified anaemia as mild anaemia (Hct 33% to 36% for women, Hct 33% to 39% for men), and moderate to severe (Hct < 33% for both men and women). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the incidence of multiple adverse events within 30 days of arthroplasty. Results Following adjustment, patients in the THA cohort with moderate to severe anaemia had an increased odds of 6.194 (95% confidence interval (CI) 5.679 to 6.756; p < 0.001) for developing any postoperative complication. Following adjustment, patients in the TKA cohort with moderate to severe anaemia had an increased odds of 5.186 (95% CI 4.811 to 5.590; p < 0.001) for developing any postoperative complication. Among both cohorts, as severity increased, there was an increased risk of postoperative complications. Conclusion Preoperative anaemia is a risk factor for complications following primary arthroplasty. There is a significant relationship between the severity of anaemia and the odds of postoperative complications. Patients who had moderate to severe anaemia were at increased risk of developing postoperative complications relative to patients with mild anaemia. When considering elective primary THA or TKA in a moderately or severely anaemic patient, surgeons should strongly consider correcting anaemia prior to surgery if possible.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common and effective treatment of knee osteoarthritis. As the amount of TKAs performed increases, so does the number of TKA failures and subsequent revisions. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to increase complications following orthopaedic procedures. For these reasons, it is important to understand the association between severity of DM and the risk of postoperative adverse events following revision TKA. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients who underwent revision TKAs between 2007 and 2016 were identified and recorded as having noninsulin-dependent DM (NIDDM), insulin-dependent DM (IDDM), or no DM. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to evaluate the incidence of multiple adverse events within 30 days after revision TKA. A total of 13,246 patients who underwent revision TKA were selected (without DM = 10,381 [78.4%]; NIDDM = 1,890 [14.3%]; IDDM = 975 [7.4%]). Patients with NIDDM were found to have an increased risk of developing renal insufficiency and urinary tract infection (UTI) compared with patients without DM, while patients with IDDM were found to have an increased risk of developing 10 of 20 adverse events compared with patients without DM. NIDDM is an independent risk factor for UTI and IDDM is an independent factor for development of three complications compared with no DM. Insulin dependency is an independent factor for septic shock, postoperative blood transfusion, and extended postoperative hospital stay. Relative to patients with NIDDM, those with IDDM have a greater likelihood of developing more adverse perioperative outcomes than patients without DM. Although complication rates remain relatively low, orthopaedic surgeons must consider the implications of diabetes and insulin dependence on patient selection, preoperative risk stratification, and postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate early postoperative outcomes in patients following UKA (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty) compared to a matched cohort of TKA (total knee arthroplasty) patients. METHODS Patients who met radiographic criteria for a medial UKA who underwent either a TKA or UKA at a single institution were matched based on age, gender, and BMI. RESULTS One hundredy and fifty UKA in 138 patients and 150 TKA in 148 patients were included in this retrospective analysis. Mean age was 62.6 ± 9 years and 65.2 ± 9 years in the UKA and TKA groups respectively (p = .01). Patients who underwent UKA had significantly less pain at two and six weeks postoperatively compared to TKA patients with mean Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) scores of 3.7 ± 1.1 vs. 7.8 ± 1.2, p < .001 and 2.6 ± 1.3 vs. 4.6 ± 1.6, p < .001 respectively. Knee Society Scores (KSS) were higher in the UKA group at six weeks and two years postoperative (86.5 ± 2.8 vs. 81.4 ± 3.6, p < .001 and 89.5 ± 2.4 vs. 84.5 ± 3.3, p < .001 respectively). Return to work was faster in the UKA group (mean 20.6 ± 7.89 vs. 38.6 ± 6.23 days, p < .001). The UKA group also had higher mean Forgotten Joint Scores of 90.5 ± 3.6 vs. 79.5 ± 9.5 (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with primarily medial compartment OA who underwent UKA had less postoperative pain, earlier return to work, and higher KSS compared to a matched group who underwent TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic drug. Topical administration of TXA during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is favored for certain patients because of concerns about thrombotic complications, despite a lack of supporting literature. We compared local and systemic levels of thrombogenic markers, interleukin (IL)-6, and TXA between patients who received intravenous (IV) TXA and those who received topical TXA. METHODS Seventy-six patients scheduled for TKA were enrolled in this randomized double-blinded study. The IV group received 1.0 g of IV TXA before tourniquet inflation and again 3 hours later; a topical placebo was administered 5 minutes before final tourniquet release. The topical group received an IV placebo before tourniquet inflation and again 3 hours later; 3.0 g of TXA was administered topically 5 minutes before final tourniquet release. Peripheral and wound blood samples were collected to measure levels of plasmin-anti-plasmin (PAP, a measure of fibrinolysis), prothrombin fragment 1.2 (PF1.2, a marker of thrombin generation), IL-6, and TXA. RESULTS At 1 hour after tourniquet release, systemic PAP levels were comparable between the IV group (after a single dose of IV TXA) and the topical group. At 4 hours after tourniquet release, the IV group had lower systemic PAP levels than the topical group (mean and standard deviation, 1,117.8 ± 478.9 µg/L versus 1,280.7 ± 646.5 µg/L; p = 0.049), indicative of higher antifibrinolytic activity after the second dose. There was no difference in PF1.2 levels between groups, indicating that there was no increase in thrombin generation. The IV group had higher TXA levels at all time points (p < 0.001). Four hours after tourniquet release, wound blood IL-6 and TXA levels were higher than systemic levels in both groups (p < 0.001). Therapeutic systemic TXA levels (mean, 7.2 ± 7.4 mg/L) were noted in the topical group. Calculated blood loss and the length of the hospital stay were lower in the IV group (p = 0.026 and p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS Given that therapeutic levels were reached with topical TXA and the lack of a major difference in the mechanism of action, coagulation, and fibrinolytic profile between topical TXA and a single dose of IV TXA, it may be a simpler protocol for institutions to adopt the use of a single dose of IV TXA when safety is a concern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the incidence of stiffness and need for subsequent manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) and reoperation following same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA). We compared the rates of at least 1 MUA, bilateral knee involvement, single and multiple MUA rates, and stiffness-related reoperation rates between patients undergoing same-day, same-admission staged, and staged within 1 year BTKA in a tertiary institution. METHODS We analyzed institutional data for 3175 same-day (group A), 153 same-admission staged (group B), and 1226 staged within 1 year BTKA patients (group C) from 1998 to 2009. Several variables, including patient demographics, comorbidity profile, Charlson-Deyo index, and range of motion at different time points, were tabulated. Follow-up was minimum 1 year after first MUA. Univariate analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum or Kruskal-Wallis test, and Fisher exact or the chi-square test for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to check the bilateral knee involvement rate across groups. RESULTS Overall, 2.2% (98/4554) of BTKA patients required MUA. The rate of at least 1 MUA was similar across groups but the percentage of bilateral knee involvement was higher in group A. The single MUA rate was comparable among groups. Both no revision and revision reoperation rates were similar among the manipulated groups. CONCLUSION Same-day BTKA was not associated with increased incidence of single or multiple MUA and stiffness-related reoperation rates. These findings may facilitate preoperative counseling in patients with symptomatic bilateral knee disease, eligible for same-day BTKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual mobility (DM) articulations have become an increasingly popular bearing choice in efforts to reduce dislocation rates in high risk primary and revision total hip arthroplasties (THA). However, DM dislocations can still occur. Intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD) is a unique failure mode for DM compared to standard femoral heads. Currently, the incidence of this phenomenon during attempted hip reduction is unknown. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of all primary, revision, and conversion THA procedures performed by a single surgeon was collected. For all dislocations, patient demographics, location where reduction was performed, type of anesthetic used was recorded. For DM dislocations, the rate of successful closed reduction, reoperation due to failure of closed reduction, and incidence of IPD at time of reduction was recorded. Descriptive statistics were conducted on the data. RESULTS In total, 527 cases were included for analysis. The overall rate of dislocation (with and without DM) was 2.85%. Among DMs, the dislocation rate was 4.55%. The rate of IPD after closed reduction was 5/7 (71%) with all five requiring revision surgery to either another DM bearing or constrained liner. CONCLUSIONS We report a high rate of early IPD after DM dislocation. This study supports alternative treatment protocols for these patients including regional or general anesthesia to be administered in the operating room and for the reduction to be performed under fluoroscopy. Dislocated DM components handled in this manner could reduce the high incidence of IPD reported.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Benefits of simultaneous bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) include lower costs, decreased hospital stay, and shorter rehabilitation. This study evaluated complications associated with simultaneous versus staged bilateral TKR within 12 months. We hypothesized that after controlling for comorbidities, the simultaneous group would have the highest rate of complications. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the Humana subset of the PearlDiver Patient Records Database. CPT 27447 and associated modifiers were used to identify patients who underwent simultaneous or staged bilateral primary TKRs. Staged bilateral TKRs were performed within 12 months and were stratified by the time between procedures. Primary outcomes were the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' publicly reported complications. Risks of complications were compared using multivariate logistic regression controlling for age, gender, and comorbidities. RESULTS Seven thousand seven hundred forty-seven patients underwent simultaneous or staged bilateral TKRs between January 2007 and April 2015. There were lower odds of transfusion and all-cause 90-day readmission but higher odds of mechanical complications and infection for all staged groups compared to the simultaneous. Patients whose staged surgeries were ≪3 months apart had significantly higher odds of undergoing manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). CONCLUSIONS Higher rates of blood transfusion and readmission were associated with simultaneous bilateral TKR, while higher rates of mechanical complications and infection were associated with staged bilateral TKR. MUA risk was highest in patients staged ≪3 months apart. While there are inherent risks to simultaneous bilateral TKR, surgeons and patients should also be aware of risks associated with staging the procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) are likely at higher risk of postoperative complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA), from the underlying disease, the degree of articular deformity, and immunosuppressive medications. The purpose of this study was to perform a comparative study of the risk of complications after THA between IA and osteoarthritis. METHODS A national private insurance database was used to select patients undergoing unilateral primary THA. Patients were categorized to the inflammatory cohort if they had a diagnosis of IA and treatment with an IA-specific medication within the year before surgery. Patients with no diagnosis of IA were considered osteoarthritis. Risk of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-reportable complications and 90-day readmission was compared between cohorts using multivariate logistic regression controlling for age, gender, length of stay, comorbidities, and corticosteroid use. RESULTS A total of 68,348 patients were included; 2.12% met criteria for IA. Patients with IA were found to have higher risk of transfusion (odds ratio [OR], 1.29; P < .01), mechanical complications (OR, 1.35; P = .01), infection (OR, 1.96; P < .01), and 90-day readmission (OR, 1.35; P < .01). There were no differences in risk of venous thromboembolism or medical complications. CONCLUSION Patients with IA have significantly higher risk of transfusion, mechanical complications, infection, and readmission following THA. Efforts should be made to optimize their health and medications before THA to minimize their complication risk. Additionally, hospitals should receive commensurate resources to maintain access to THA for patients with IA who are prone to higher resource utilization. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition continues to be prevalent in the general population. A variety of studies have correlated poor nutritional status with reduced perioperative outcomes. However, the correlation between serologic malnutrition and arthroplasty outcomes has not been systematically evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine if serologic malnutrition has a correlation with postoperative wound infection, as well as other complications, after total joint arthroplasty. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify studies that reported on outcomes for patients who were malnourished and had undergone a total hip or knee arthroplasty. RESULTS Twenty studies were included for review. Based on the quality of the evidence of the different studies, the balance between desirable/undesirable outcomes and the values of patients, there was a strong recommendation that preoperative serologic markers of malnutrition are significantly associated with inferior postoperative outcomes. All 20 studies analyzed albumin as a marker for malnutrition. Eleven (55%) studies used the total lymphocyte count, and 6 (30%) studies reported transferrin as a marker for malnutrition. Among 20 studies, 18 (90%) studies reported a correlation with at least one serological marker and poor postoperative outcomes. Finally, patients with an albumin level <3.5 dg/L were more likely to develop a postoperative wound complication (odds ratio: 2.176; 95% confidence interval: 1.916-2.471). CONCLUSIONS There is strong evidence that serologic malnutrition was associated with increased risk of poor postoperative outcome across all total joint replacement interventions.

Abstract
Finite element (FE) models are frequently used to assess mechanical interactions between orthopedic implants and surrounding bone. However, FE studies are often limited by the small number of bones that are modeled; the use of normal bones that do not reflect the altered bone density distributions that result from osteoarthritis (OA); and the application of simplified load cases usually based on peak forces and without consideration of tibiofemoral kinematics. To overcome these limitations, we undertook an integrated approach to determine the most critical scenario for the interaction between an uncemented tibial component and surrounding proximal tibial bone. A cementless component, based on a modern design, was virtually implanted using computed-tomography scans from 13 patients with knee OA. FE simulations were performed across a demanding activity, stair ascent, by combining in vivo experimental forces from the literature with tibiofemoral kinematics measured from patients who had received the same design of knee component. The worst conditions for the bone-implant interaction, in terms of micromotion and percentage of interfacial bone mass at risk of failure, did not arise from the maximum applied loads. We also found large variability among bones and tibiofemoral kinematics sets. Our results suggest that future FE studies should not focus solely on peak loads as this approach does not consistently correlate to worst-case scenarios. Moreover, multiple load cases and multiple bones should be considered to best reflect variations in tibiofemoral kinematics, anatomy, and tissue properties. © 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
AIMS Instability continues to be a troublesome complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patient-related risk factors associated with a higher dislocation risk include the preoperative diagnosis, an age of 75 years or older, high body mass index (BMI), a history of alcohol abuse, and neurodegenerative diseases. The goal of this study was to assess the dislocation rate, radiographic outcomes, and complications of patients stratified as high-risk for dislocation who received a dual mobility (DM) bearing in a primary THA at a minimum follow-up of two years. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of a consecutive series of DM THA performed between 2010 and 2014 at our institution (Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York) by a single, high-volume orthopaedic surgeon employing a single prosthesis design (Anatomic Dual Mobility (ADM) Stryker, Mahwah, New Jersey). Patient medical records and radiographs were reviewed to confirm the type of implant used, to identify any preoperative risk factors for dislocation, and any complications. Radiographic analysis was performed to assess for signs of osteolysis or remodelling of the acetabulum. RESULTS There were 151 patients who met the classification of high-risk according to the inclusion criteria and received DM THA during the study period. Mean age was 82 years old (73 to 95) and 114 patients (77.5%) were female. Mean follow-up was 3.6 years (1.9 to 6.1), with five patients lost to follow-up and one patient who died (for a reason unrelated to the index procedure). One patient (0.66%) sustained an intraprosthetic dislocation; there were no other dislocations. CONCLUSION At mid-term follow-up, the use of a DM bearing for primary THA in patients at high risk of dislocation provided a stable reconstruction option with excellent radiographic results. Longer follow-up is needed to confirm the durability of these reconstructions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that intra-articular injections ≤3 months before total knee arthroplasty increase the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. We are aware of no previous study that has differentiated the risk of periprosthetic joint infection on the basis of the type of medication injected. In addition, we are aware of no prior study that has evaluated whether hyaluronic acid injections increase the risk of infection after total knee arthroplasty. In this study, we utilized pharmaceutical data to compare patients who received preoperative corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections and to determine whether a specific injection type increased the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. METHODS Patients undergoing unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty were selected from a nationwide private insurer database. Ipsilateral preoperative injections were identified and were grouped by medication codes for corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid. Patients who had received both types of injections ≤1 year before total knee arthroplasty were excluded. The outcome of interest was periprosthetic joint infection that occurred ≤6 months following the total knee arthroplasty. The risk of periprosthetic joint infection was compared between groups (no injection, corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid) and between patients who received single or multiple injections. Statistical comparisons were performed using logistic regression controlling for age, sex, and comorbidities. RESULTS A total of 58,337 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty during the study period; 3,249 patients (5.6%) received hyaluronic acid and 16,656 patients (28.6%) received corticosteroid ≤1 year before total knee arthroplasty. The overall infection rate was 2.74% in the no-injection group. Multivariable logistic regression showed independent periprosthetic joint infection risk for both corticosteroid (odds ratio [OR], 1.21; p = 0.014) and hyaluronic acid (OR, 1.55; p = 0.029) given ≤3 months before total knee arthroplasty. There was no increased risk with injections >3 months prior to total knee arthroplasty. Direct comparison of corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) between medications or between single and multiple injections. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injection ≤3 months before total knee arthroplasty increased the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. There was no difference in infection risk between medications or between multiple and single injections. On the basis of these data, we recommend avoiding both injection types in the 3 months prior to total knee arthroplasty. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proximal femoral replacements (PFRs) have been recently utilized in complex revision arthroplasties where proximal femoral bone is compromised. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes, complications, and survivorship of PFRs as a salvage treatment for severe bone loss after non-oncologic revision total hip arthroplasty. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients who underwent femoral revision surgery using a single design PFR between 2004 and 2013 at our institution. Forty patients (41 hips) were included with a mean age of 64 years (29-90). According to Paprosky classification, 15 femurs had type IIIB defect, and 26 had type IV defect. Patients were followed for a mean of five years (2-10). The average length of reconstruction was 150 mm (81-261). A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the survival of the PFR. RESULTS A total of nine patients (9 PFRs, 22%) were re-operated upon. Three re-operations were for infection, two for dislocation, two for aseptic loosening, and two for periprosthetic fracture. The survivorship at five years was 95.1% for revision of the femoral stem for aseptic loosening. We did not find length of the segmental reconstruction or the indication for revision, to be a risk factor for implant failure or re-revision. CONCLUSIONS Proximal femoral replacements have shown an acceptable survivorship in non-oncologic revision hip arthroplasties for severe proximal femoral bone loss. The frequent use of constrained liners may decrease the risk of dislocation due to the loss of the abductor mechanism encountered in these complex reconstructions.

Abstract
Constrained acetabular liners have been developed for patients who are at high risk for dislocation or who are undergoing revision surgery for recurrent dislocations. We report on 2 cases of failure of tripolar constrained liners due to severe backside polyethylene wear after dissociation of the outer polyethylene liner without dislocation, a mode of failure not previously reported. The backside of the inserts suffered severe polyethylene deformation, wear, and scratching due to dissociation from the locking mechanism. In patients with tripolar constrained liners, radiographic evidence of eccentric wear should be considered as possible occult dissociation of the polyethylene liner within the shell. Conversion to a modular dual mobility liner appears to be a viable solution in this setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can have tremendous health and socioeconomic implications, recognizing patients at risk before surgery is of great importance. Therefore, we sought to determine the rate of and risk factors for deep PJI in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Clinical characteristics of patients treated with primary THA between January 1999 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. These included patient demographics, comorbidities (including the Charlson/Deyo comorbidity index), length of stay, primary diagnosis, total/allogeneic transfusion rate, and in-hospital complications, which were grouped into local and systemic (minor and major). We determined the overall deep PJI rate, as well as the rates for early-onset (occurring within 2 years after index surgery) and late-onset PJI (occurring more than 2 years after surgery). A Cox proportional hazards regression model was constructed to identify risk factors for developing deep PJI. Significance level was set at 0.05. RESULTS A deep PJI developed in 154 of 36,494 primary THAs (0.4%) during the study period. Early onset PJI was found in 122 patients (0.3%), whereas late PJI occurred in 32 patients (0.1%). Obesity, coronary artery disease, and pulmonary hypertension were identified as independent risk factors for deep PJI after primary THA. CONCLUSION The rate of deep PJIs of the hip is relatively low, with the majority occurring within 2 years after THA. If the optimization of modifiable risk factors before THA can reduce the rate of this complication remains unknown, but should be attempted as part of good practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management strategies for bilateral hip degenerative disease include same-day or staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA), but information on outcomes remains sparse. We sought to describe in-hospital complications and blood transfusion rates after same-day and staged bilateral THAs at different time intervals and to assess risk factors for these events. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed administrative data for 3785 patients treated with same-day bilateral (n = 1946; group A) and staged bilateral THA within (1) 0-3 months apart (n = 328; group B); (2) 3-6 months apart (n = 703; group C); and (3) 6-12 months apart (n = 808; group D), between 1999 and 2014. We recorded demographics, the Charlson-Deyo comorbidity index and in-hospital local and systemic (minor and major) complications. Complication and blood transfusion rates among groups were compared. A logistic regression model was developed to identify risk factors for major complications. RESULTS Local complications were rare. Minor complications were less frequent in group A (P < .001). Major complications were more frequent in group D (P = .012). Group A had higher overall (P < .001) and allogeneic blood transfusion rates (P < .001) compared with the staged groups. Staged procedures within 6-12 months apart vs same-day bilateral THA, older age, Charlson-Deyo index ≥2 vs 0, and earlier vs recent admission year were associated with higher adjusted odds for major complications. CONCLUSION Same-day bilateral THA in a high-volume joint replacement center may be a safe option for younger and healthier patients, given the relatively low incidence of adverse events reported in this study.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this systematic review was to report the rate of dislocation following the use of dual mobility (DM) acetabular components in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines was performed. A comprehensive search of Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane Library and Embase (Scopus) was conducted for English articles between January 1974 and March 2016 using various combinations of the keywords "dual mobility", "dual-mobility", "tripolar", "double-mobility", "double mobility", "hip", "cup", "socket". The following data were extracted by two investigators independently: demographics, whether the operation was a primary or revision THA, length of follow-up, the design of the components, diameter of the femoral head, and type of fixation of the acetabular component. RESULTS In all, 59 articles met our inclusion criteria. These included a total of 17 908 THAs which were divided into two groups: studies dealing with DM components in primary THA and those dealing with these components in revision THA. The mean rate of dislocation was 0.9% in the primary THA group, and 3.0% in the revision THA group. The mean rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 0.7% in primary and 1.3% in revision THAs. CONCLUSION Based on the current data, the use of DM acetabular components are effective in minimising the risk of instability after both primary and revision THA. This benefit must be balanced against continuing concerns about the additional modularity, and the new mode of failure of intraprosthetic dislocation. Longer term studies are needed to assess the function of these newer materials compared with previous generations. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):18-24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two-stage exchange arthroplasty remains the preferred method for treating a chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in North America. However, infection recurrence may occur. Previously, recurrent infections have been classified as persistent (same isolated pathogen) or new (different pathogen identified). We sought to determine (1) recurrence rates among patients with chronic hip and knee PJI, treated with 2-stage exchange arthroplasty; (2) risk factors for infection recurrence; and (3) risk factors for developing persistent vs new infection. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical characteristics of patients with chronic hip and knee PJI, treated with 2-stage revision between January 1998 and March 2014. Minimum follow-up was 24 months. Two multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to determine independent predictors for infection recurrence and persistence. RESULTS In total, 548 patients were identified (283 men, 265 women). Forty-eight had a recurrent infection (8.76%). Men had 54.8% lower odds of PJI recurrence than women (odds ratio [OR] = 0.452; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.235-0.869). Patients with heart disease had 109% higher odds of infection recurrence than patients without heart disease (OR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.097-3.081). The risk of infection recurrence was 119% higher in patients with psychiatric disorders than in patients without psychiatric disorders (OR = 2.19; 95% CI, 1.011-4.761). Patients with recurrent knee PJI had 84.6% lower odds of persistent infection (OR = 0.154; 95% CI, 0.034-0.696) compared to hip PJI. Patients with heart disease had 5-fold increased odds for persistent PJI (OR = 5.068; 95% CI, 1.38-22.56). CONCLUSION Female gender, heart disease, and psychiatric disorders increase the risk of hip and knee PJI recurrence. Patients with PJI of the hip and with heart disease are at higher risk of infection persistence.

Abstract
The estimated prevalence of patients who report minor or no improvement of their symptoms and pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains high, ranging from 5% to 40%. The authors sought to determine whether chronic pain and functional health are related to specific variations in demographic data, surgical techniques, or radiographic pre- and postoperative findings. They also sought to identify independent risk factors for persistent moderate-to-severe chronic pain after TKA. A total of 273 patients who underwent primary TKA from October 2007 to March 2010 with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were identified from electronic medical records. A questionnaire to identify persistent postoperative pain (36-item Short Form Health Survey [SF-36]) was mailed to these patients. Linear regression and logistic regression were used to identify predictors for SF-36 and chronic pain, respectively. Thirty-nine percent of patients reported persistent pain after TKA, with a median average pain score of 3 out of 10 and worst pain score of 5 out of 10. Independent risk factors for persistent pain are the length of the operative procedure (odds ratio [OR]=1.013), medical history of diabetes mellitus (OR=0.430), presence of preoperative flexion contracture (OR=1.089), and patellofemoral joint overstuffing (OR=0.915). Persistent postoperative pain is a common finding after TKA. Nonmodifiable risk factors could be used for risk stratification, whereas modifiable risk factors could be used as a clinical guidance for modification of some aspects of existing surgical techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with bilateral hip disease may undergo same-day or staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our purpose was to compare the odds and identify risk factors for deep periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) among patients undergoing same-day vs staged bilateral THA (within 1 year or more than 1 year apart). METHODS Administrative data for patients subjected to same-day and staged bilateral THA between January 1999 and December 2013 were retrieved. Patients with subsequent PJI were identified. Mean follow-up was 112.6 months (range, 23-201). A logistic regression model was constructed to determine differences in odds for infection between groups and risk factors for PJI. RESULTS We identified 1808 patients treated with same-day bilateral THA, 2082 patients treated with staged THAs within 1 year, and 2760 patients treated with staged THAs more than 1 year apart. Patients treated with same-day procedures had similar odds for PJI compared to those treated with staged THAs within 1 year (odds ratio [OR] = 0.632, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.203, 1.962]), or more than 1 year apart (OR = 1.391, 95% CI [0.516, 3.746]). Women had 66.1% lower odds for PJI than men (OR = 0.339, 95% CI [0.16, 0.72]). Patients with inflammatory arthritis had 632% higher odds for PJI than patients with degenerative arthritis (OR = 7.321, 95% CI [1.912, 28.028]). Allogeneic transfusion was associated with 166% higher odds for PJI (OR = 2.661, 95% CI [1.198, 5.911]). CONCLUSION Same-day bilateral THA is not associated with increased odds for PJI compared to staged procedures. Male gender, inflammatory etiology, and allogeneic transfusion are significant risk factors for PJI in patients undergoing same-day or staged bilateral THA.

Abstract
Irrigation and debridement (I&D) may be a viable option in selected cases of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). Our aim was to investigate the role of multiple I&Ds. Among 141 patients with PJI treated with I&D in our institution, 19 were subjected to additional procedures. Their clinical characteristics were retrospectively reviewed and compared to the remaining patients treated with a single I&D. The probability of treatment failure (removal of implants) was not significantly different among the two groups. The interval between serial I&Ds was a significant factor determining outcomes. Patients treated with multiple I&Ds had a significantly higher prevalence of peripheral vascular disease. The decision to proceed with repeat of I&D should be made with caution.
