Results showed extended oral antibiotic prophylaxis after aseptic revision total hip arthroplasty was not associated with a decreased risk of infection, despite a statistically insignificant trend toward a protective effect.

Published results found no association between BMI and functional outcomes, survivorship, or all-cause and aseptic revisions in patients undergoing modern cementless total knee arthroplasty.

CHICAGO — Patients who undergo tourniquet-free minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty may be at increased risk for revision due to aseptic loosening, according to presented results.

According to published results, extended oral antibiotic prophylaxis after aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty yielded a sevenfold reduction in 90-day infection risk.

Published results showed no association between morbid obesity and an increased risk in adverse outcomes after aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty, but an association between tobacco use and severe complications.
