Aseptic Revision
Standard vs. constrained liners had similar aseptic failure rates in revision THA
DALLAS — Results presented here showed standard liners and constrained liners had similar rates of aseptic failure and dislocation among patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty with a custom triflange acetabular component.
Significant learning curve found for revision TJA among inexperienced surgeons
According to published results, revision total joint arthroplasty performed by surgeons with less experience may result in longer surgeries, increased blood loss and early reoperations compared with surgeons with more experience.
Age younger than 65 years may be a risk factor for re-revision after aseptic revision TKA
SAN FRANCISCO — Results showed age younger than 65 years may be a risk factor for all-cause re-revision after aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty.
Cemented THA associated with increased complications, aseptic revision vs. cementless THA
According to published results, cemented total hip arthroplasty was associated with increased rates of infection, aseptic loosening and aseptic revision compared with cementless fixation for patients with osteoarthritis.
Dual mobility THA yields similar dislocation, revision risks vs. metal, ceramic heads
According to results published in the Journal of Arthroplasty, dual mobility acetabular cups may have comparable risks of aseptic revision and dislocation vs. metal or ceramic femoral head unipolar constructs in total hip arthroplasty.
Diabetes may contribute to increased complications after total ankle arthroplasty
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Data presented here showed diabetes may contribute to increased postoperative complications following total ankle arthroplasty.
CT scans, patient-specific instruments may not improve results after shoulder arthroplasty
Use of preoperative planning, such as CT scans, 3D planning and patient-specific instrumentation, prior to shoulder arthroplasty did not reduce the risk of aseptic revision, according to published results.
Recalled TKA implant yielded low midterm survivorship, high aseptic failure rates
LAS VEGAS — Results presented here showed, prior to recall, a modern total knee arthroplasty implant had lower-than-expected midterm survivorship and higher-than-expected rates of aseptic failure.
Cementless fixation associated with aseptic loosening, revision and reoperation after TKA
According to the published results, cementless fixation was associated with increased risk of aseptic loosening, revision and reoperation within 2 years after total knee arthroplasty.
VIDEO: Aseptic revision TJA had 5% incidence of unexpected positive sonication cultures
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found a 5% incidence of unexpected positive sonication cultures with at least five colony-forming units in patients undergoing presumed aseptic revision total joint arthroplasty.
