Abstract

Purpose

The objective of this study was to investigate the outcome of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in relation to the cause of index failure, the characteristics of the index procedure, and the elapsed time between index TKA and revision.

Methods

A retrospective review based on a prospective database was performed on 146 consecutive revision TKA’s. Variables tested were the cause of index failure; the elapsed time between the index and revision procedure; patient age at time of revision; partial or total revision of the implants; the performance of a tibial tubercle osteotomy; the presence of radiolucent lines; postoperative patellar tracking; and coronal plane alignment. Outcomes were measured with the Knee Society Knee Score (KS), Function Score (FS), and X-ray evaluation.

Results

Mean KS improved from 27.6 (SD 21.6) to 71.5 (SD 24.2) after revision (P < 0.0001), mean FS from 27.5 (SD 22.7) to 53.3 (SD27.7), P < 0.0001. Overall survival rate was 90% at 5 years and 85% at 10 and 14 years. The cause of index failure had no significant influence on any of the outcome parameters. Significantly, better outcomes were noted for partial revisions and for revisions in older patients. Early revisions (<2 years) were mostly performed for infection and instability, whereas late revisions (>2 years) were mostly performed for polyethylene wear and loosening. The survival rate for late revisions was significantly better than for early revisions (P = 0.002).

Conclusion

Revision TKA leads to a significant reduction in symptoms and improvement in function. The worst results can be expected for early revisions in young patients. Revision TKA is a demanding procedure with variable results and should therefore be performed by experienced surgeons.

Level of evidence

Therapeutic study—Level IV.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
