Periprosthetic patella fractures are a rare complication that can lead to severe disability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There are several factors that increase the risk of this injury, including patient co-morbidities, anatomic considerations, and surgical technique. With these factors limiting healing ability in the area, periprosthetic patellar fractures can pose a major challenge to treat, with potentially lasting morbidity for affected patients. These fractures can occur at any time following TKA and are classified based on their associated implant stability and disruption of the extensor mechanism using the Ortiguera and Berry classification system. Each of the three types of fractures can be managed in their own unique way; however, outcomes remain poor, and the complication rates remain high regardless of fracture type. This article provides an overview of the current literature and the recommended management of periprosthetic patella fractures.
RESUMO
This report provides an updated analysis for patients with osteoporosis following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The comorbidities of alcohol abuse, chronic kidney disease, cerebrovascular disease, obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis continue to be significant risk factors for periprosthetic femur fracture (PPFFx) and aseptic loosening in the population with osteoporosis. Patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric (DEXA) scans were at risk for PPFFx regardless of femoral fixation method, and patients with DEXA scans with cementless fixation were at risk of aseptic loosening after THA. The patient population with severe osteoporosis may have higher risks for aseptic loosening and PPFFx than previously recognized.

BACKGROUND: Anatomic referencing in total knee arthroplasty places the femoral component flush to the anterior cortex while maintaining posterior condylar offset (PCO). The intent of this study was to evaluate how component position influences the femoral component size. METHODS: Digital surface models were created using 446 femora from an established computed tomography database. Virtual bone resections, component sizing, and component placement were performed assuming neutral (0°) flexion and neutral (3°) rotation relative to the posterior condyles. The appropriately sized femoral component, which had 2 mm of incremental size, was placed flush with the anterior cortex for optimal restoration of the PCO. Sizing and placement were repeated using 3 and 6° flexion and 0, 5, and 7° external rotation (ER). RESULTS: At 0° flexion, decreasing ER from 3 to 0° resulted in an average decreased anterior-posterior height (APH) of 1.9 mm, corresponding to a component size decrease of 1 for 88% of patients. At 7° ER, component size increased by an average of 2.5 mm, corresponding to a size increase for 80% of patients. Flexing the femoral component to 3° with ER at 3° resulted in a decrease in APH of 2.2 mm (1 size decrease in 93% of patients). At 3° flexion and 3° ER, 86% had the same component size as at 0° flexion and 0° ER. Increasing ER at 3° flexion increased APH by 1.2 mm at 5° and 3.1 mm at 7° on average, relative to 3° ER. Increasing flexion from 3 to 6° extended this effect. CONCLUSIONS: Flexion decreases the APH when the ER is held constant. The ER of the femoral component increases the APH across all tested flexion angles, causing an increase in the ideal femoral component size to maintain PCO. With anatomic referencing, alterations in femoral component positioning and subsequent changes in component size can be accounted for.

Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) risk continues to receive much attention given its associated morbidity and costs to patients and healthcare systems. It has been hypothesized that invasive colonoscopies may increase the risk of PJI. However, the decision to administer antibiotic prophylaxis lacks clinical guidance. In this study we aimed to compare PJI rates in patients undergoing colonoscopies with and without antibiotic prophylaxis against a control group, analyzing PJI occurrences at 90 days, 6 months, 9 months, and 1-year post-procedure and (2) assess the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on PJI rates to inform clinical guidelines. Methods: We queried a national, all-payer database to identify all primary total knee arthroplasty procedures without prior history of PJI between January 2010 and October 2020 (n = 1.9 million). All patients who had a diagnosis of PJI within one year of index procedure were excluded. There were three cohorts identified: colonoscopy with biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis; colonoscopy with biopsy with antibiotic prophylaxis; and a control of no prior colonoscopy. Both colonoscopy cohorts were slightly younger and had higher comorbidities than the controls. The PJI diagnoses were identified at four separate time intervals within one-year after colonoscopy: 90-days; 6-months; 9-months; and 1-year. Chi-square analyses with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals were conducted for PJI rates between groups at all time-points. Results: Among all cohorts, no significant differences in PJI rates were found at 90-days (P = 0.459), 6-months (P = 0.608), 9-months (P = 0.598), and 1-year (P = 0.330). Similarly, direct comparison of both colonoscopy groups, with and without antibiotic prophylaxis, demonstrated no PJI rate differences at 90-day (P = 0.540), 6-months (P = 0.812), 9-months (P = 0.958), and 1-year (P = 0.207). Ranges of ORs between the colonoscopy cohorts were 1.07-1.43. Conclusion: Invasive colonoscopy does not increase the risk of PJI in patients who have pre-existing knee implants. Furthermore, antibiotic prophylaxis may not be warranted in patients undergoing colonoscopy who have a planned biopsy.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an indicated treatment of several medical conditions including late-onset hypogonadism, congenital syndromes, and gender affirmation hormonal therapy. Increasing population age, medical benefits, and public awareness of TRT have resulted in increased prevalence of its utilization. However, TRT is not without concern for adverse risks including venous thromboembolic complications, cardiovascular events, and prostate issues. In the field of orthopaedic surgery, research is beginning to delineate the complex relationship between TRT and the development of orthopaedic conditions and potential effects on surgical interventions and outcomes. In this review, we discuss current literature surrounding TRT and subsequent development of osteoarthritis, incidence of total joint arthroplasty, musculotendinous pathology, postoperative infection risk, improvements in postoperative rehabilitation metrics, enhancement of osseous healing, and increased bone-implant integration. The authors suggest future areas of investigation that may provide guidance on how surgeons can mitigate adverse risks while optimizing benefits of TRT in the orthopaedic patient.
