RESUMO

PURPOSE: The implantation rate of total knee arthroplasties (TKA) is continuously growing. Aseptic problems are a major cause of revision. The aim of the following study was to determinate the incidence of aseptic revisions in primary knee arthroplasty as well as aseptic revision rates and influencing factors according to the patients' age and type of procedure. METHODS: Data collection was performed using the German Arthroplasty Registry. Influencing factors were analyzed according to the patients' age and type of procedure. Risk factors were calculated using multiple Log-rank test with the Holm's method. Incidence and comparison of aseptic revisions according to the patients' age and type of procedure were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier-estimates. Cox regression was applied to calculate the hazard ratio. RESULTS: Overall, 300,998 knee arthroplasties with 254,144 (84.4%) unconstrained TKA, 9,993 (3.3%) constrained TKA and 36,861 (12.3%) unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKA) were analyzed. Patients younger than 65 years suffered a significantly higher aseptic revision rate than older patients (p < 0.0001). After one year, a revision rate of 1.1% was recorded for patients 65-74 years, 1.6% for patients under 65 years, and 1.3% for patients beyond 74 years. After seven years, patients younger than 65 years sustained in 5.0%, patients 65-74 years in 2.9% and patients beyond 74 years in 2.4% revision. In unconstrained TKA, an increased Elixhauser-score (HR = 1,75; HR = 1,54; HR = 1,7; p < 0,001) was a risk factor regardless the age. A TKA volume of 101-250 regardless the age (HR = 0,66; HR = 0,69; HR = 0,79) and > 250 under 75 years (< 65: HR = 0,72; 65-74: HR = 0,78; p = 0,001) were protective for aseptic revision. In UKA, male gender (HR = 0,81; HR = 0,72; HR = 0,57; p < 0,001), a UKA volume ≥ 51 for patients under 75 years (< 65: HR = 0,62; 65-74: HR = 0,59; p = 0,003) as well as cemented UKA for patients younger than 75 years (< 65: HR = 0,37; 65-74: HR = 0,37; p < 0,001) were detected as preventive factors. CONCLUSION: A significant increased rate of aseptic revisions was reported for patients younger than 65 years compared to older patients. An increased Elixhauser score was a risk factor, whereas male and a high volume of performed UKA or TKA could be identified as preventive factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, cohort study.

RESUMO

AIM: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the main causes of revision surgeries after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicondylar knee replacement. Patient- and hospital-related risk factors must be evaluated to prevent PJI. This study identifies influencing factors and differences in infection rates between various types of implant. METHODS: The basis for the data is the German Arthroplasty Register (EPRD). Septic revisions were calculated with the aid of Kaplan-Meier estimates, with septic revision surgery defined as the primary endpoint. Patients with constrained and unconstrained TKA or UKA were analysed using the Holm multiple log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazard model. The 300,998 cases of knee arthroplasty analysed included 254,144 (84.4%) unconstrained TKA, 9993 (3.3%) constrained TKA and 36,861 (12.3%) UKA, with a maximum follow-up of 7 years. RESULTS: After 1 year, the PJI rate was 0.5% for UKA and 2.8% for TKA, whereas after 7 years it was 4.5% for UKA and 0.9% for TKA (p < 0.0001). In constrained TKA, the PJI rate was significantly increased compared with unconstrained TKA (p < 0.0001). After 1 year, the PJI rate was 2.0% for constrained TKA and 0.8% for unconstrained TKA, as well as 3.1% and 1.4% respectively after 7 years. Implantation of a constrained TKA (HR = 2.55), male sex (HR = 1.84), an increased Elixhauser Comorbidity Index score (HR = 1.18-1.56) and an implantation volume of less than 25 UKA per year (HR = 2.15) were identified as risk factors for revision surgeries; an Elixhauser Comorbidity Index score of 0 (HR = 0.80) was identified as a preventive factor. CONCLUSIONS: A reduced implantation volume and constrained knee arthroplasty are linked to a higher risk of PJI. Comorbidities (increased Elixhauser Comorbidity Index score), male sex and a low UKA-implantation volume were identified as risk factors for PJI. Patients who fulfil these criteria need specific infection prevention measures. Further analyses are required to investigate the potential influence of prevention and risk factor modification. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

RESUMO

Background: Pathologies of the long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon are a common cause of anterior shoulder pain. While the influence of the anatomical morphology of the intertubercular groove (ITG) on the development of LHB tendon instability has been investigated with ambiguous results, the relationship of the LHB to ITG anatomy has not yet been considered in this context. The objective of this study was to reliably extract the tendon-to-groove ratio from MRI scans of symptomatic patients and examine its potential influence on the occurrence of certain causes for LHB-associated symptoms. Methods: In this retrospective study, preoperative MRI scans of 35 patients (mean age of 46 ± 14 years) presenting with anterior shoulder pain and clinical indications of LHB tendinopathy were analyzed in transversal planes. Long and short diameters of the LHB tendon and ITG were measured, cross-sectional areas of the LHB tendon and ITG were calculated from these measurements, and the ratio of cross-sectional areas (LHB/ITG) was introduced. All measurements were repeated independently by three investigators and inter-rater reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Thereafter, tendon-to-groove ratios were compared in patients with and without intraoperative signs of LHB tendon instability. Results: All patients exhibited intraoperative signs of LHB tendinitis, with additional findings including pulley lesions and SLAP lesions. Analysis revealed variations in the dimensions of the LHB tendon and ITG cross sections, with the tendon-to-groove ratio decreasing from 37% at the pulley to 31% at the deepest point of the sulcus. Very good inter-rater reliability was observed for all measurements. The tendon-to-groove ratio did not significantly differ (p > 0.05) in patients with or without pulley lesions or SLAP lesions. Conclusions: Our study introduced the novel parameter of the tendon-to-groove ratio of cross-sectional areas as a reproducible parameter for the description of local anatomy in the field of targeted diagnosis of LHB tendon disorders. While our findings do not yet support the predictive value of the tendon-to-groove ratio, they underscore the importance of further research with larger cohorts and control groups to validate these observations.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major cause of revision surgery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). Patient- and hospital-related risk factors need to be assessed to prevent PJI. This study identifies influential factors and differences in infection rates between different implant types. METHODS: Data were obtained from the German Arthroplasty Registry. Septic revisions were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates with septic revision surgery as the primary endpoint. Patients with constrained and unconstrained TKA or UKA were analysed using Holm's multiple log-rank test and Cox's proportional hazards ratio. The 300,998 cases of knee arthroplasty analysed included 254,144 (84.4%) unconstrained TKA, 9993 (3.3%) constrained TKA and 36,861 (12.3%) UKA with a maximum follow-up of 7 years. RESULTS: At 1 year, the PJI rate was 0.5% for UKA and 2.8% for TKA, whereas at 7 years, the PJI rate was 4.5% for UKA and 0.9% for TKA (p < 0.0001). The PJI rate significantly increased for constrained TKA compared to unconstrained TKA (p < 0.0001). The PJI rate was 2.0% for constrained TKA and 0.8% for unconstrained TKA at 1 year and 3.1% and 1.4% at 7 years. Implantation of a constrained TKA (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.55), male sex (HR = 1.84), increased Elixhauser score (HR = 1.18-1.56) and implant volume of less than 25 UKA per year (HR = 2.15) were identified as risk factors for revision surgery; an Elixhauser score of 0 (HR = 0.80) was found to be a preventive factor. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced implant volume and constrained knee arthroplasty are associated with a higher risk of PJI. Comorbidities (elevated Elixhauser score), male sex and low UKA implant volume have been identified as risk factors for PJI. Patients who meet these criteria require specific measures to prevent infection. Further research is required on the potential impact of prevention and risk factor modification. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Due to ageing population, the implantation rate of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) is continuously growing. Aseptic revisions in primary knee arthroplasty are a major cause of revision. The aim of the following study was to determinate the incidence and reasons of aseptic revisions in constrained and unconstrained TKA, as well as in unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKAs). METHODS: Data collection was performed using the German Arthroplasty Registry. Reasons for aseptic revisions were calculated. Incidence and comparison of aseptic revisions were analysed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. A multiple χ2 test with Holm's method was used to detect group differences in ligament ruptures. RESULTS: Overall, 300,998 cases of knee arthroplasty with 254,144 (84.4%) unconstrained TKA, 9993 (3.3%) constrained TKA and 36,861 (12.3%) UKA were analysed. Aseptic revision rate in UKA was significantly increased compared to unconstrained and constrained TKA (p < 0.0001). In constrained TKA, a 2.0% revision rate for aseptic reasons were reported after 1 year, while in unconstrained TKA 1.1% and in UKA, 2.7% of revisions were identified. After 7 years in constrained TKA 3.3%, in unconstrained TKA 2.8%, and in UKA 7.8% sustained aseptic revision. Ligament instability was the leading cause of aseptic revision accounting for 13.7% in unconstrained TKA. In constrained TKA, 2.8% resulted in a revision due to ligament instability. In the UKA, the most frequent cause of revisions was tibial loosening, accounting for 14.6% of cases, while progression of osteoarthritis accounted for 7.9% of revisions. Ligament instability was observed in 14.1% of males compared to 15.9% of females in unconstrained TKA and in 4.6% in both genders in UKA. CONCLUSION: In patients with UKA, aseptic revision rates are significantly higher compared to unconstrained and constrained TKA. Ligament instability was the leading cause of aseptic revision in unconstrained TKA. In UKA, the most frequent cause of revisions was tibial loosening, while progression of osteoarthritis was the second most frequent cause of revisions. Comparable levels of ligament instability were observed in both sexes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, cohort study.

RESUMO

Introduction: Pediatric polytrauma is a complex condition with unique characteristics and requirements for early clinical care. This study aimed to analyze the injury patterns, early clinical care, and outcomes of pediatric polytrauma patients in a Level I trauma center. The focus was on evaluation between different age groups and the recognition of injuries as potential factors influencing outcomes. Methods: A prospective cohort study model of pediatric polytrauma patients (ISS ≥ 16) was conducted over a 13-year period, stratified by age groups (Group A: 0-5 years; Group B: 6-10 years; Group C: 11-15 years; and Group D: 16-18 years). A comparison of the groups was conducted to examine variations in early clinical care, trauma mechanisms, distribution of affected body regions (as per AIS and ISS criteria), and trauma-related mortality. Additionally, factors contributing to mortality were evaluated. Results: The median age of patients was 16 years, with a male predominance (64.7%). The Injury Severity Score (ISS) varied across age groups, with no significant difference. The 30-day mortality rate was 19.0%, with no significant age-related differences. Trauma mechanisms varied across age groups, with motor vehicle accidents being the most common mechanism in all age groups except 0-5 years, where falls were prevalent. Analysis of injury patterns by AIS body regions indicated that head trauma was a significant predictor of mortality (Hazard Ratio 2.894, p < 0.001), while chest, abdominal, and extremity trauma showed no significant association with mortality. Multiple regression analysis identified the ISS and preclinical GCS as valid predictors of mortality (p < 0.001 and p = 0.006, respectively). Conclusions: While age-related differences in injury severity and clinical interventions were limited, head trauma emerged as a critical predictor of mortality. Early recognition and management of head injuries are crucial in improving outcomes. Additionally, the ISS and preclinical GCS were identified as valid predictors of mortality, emphasizing the importance of early assessment and resuscitation. A tailored approach to pediatric polytrauma care, considering both age and injury patterns, might contribute to survival benefits in this vulnerable population.
