Summary: Despite advancements in technique and devices, aseptic tibial loosening following primary total knee arthroplasty remains a problem. This study found that knee movement during cement polymerization significantly decreases tibial implant fixation strength. There were also variations in pull-out strength among different implant designs.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of tourniquet use on early recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a smartphone app-based patient engagement platform (PEP) with a wrist-based activity monitor. The results showed that tourniquet use did not have a clinically significant negative impact on pain and function in the first 90 days after surgery.

Summary: This study reviewed 1,060 patients who underwent TKA between May 2016 to July 2020, finding that the use of IO vancomycin combined with a first-generation cephalosporin can reduce the incidence of infection in TKA. Although limited by the retrospective, multi-surgeon investigation, the early findings are encouraging.

Summary: The study measured the levels of metal ions present in the knee joint after performing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using different components. The results showed that patients who underwent surgery with standard cobalt chromium (CoCr) components had significantly higher levels of nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), and chromium (Cr). However, patients who received nickel-free oxidized zirconium femoral and titanium tibial (OxZr/Ti) components also had significantly higher levels of chromium and nickel post-surgery, with nickel levels being higher than those in patients who received CoCr components.

Summary: Pin-related complications following CAN and RA knee arthroplasty are relatively uncommon, with fractures, pin loosening, and superficial infections being the most common. Treatments were effective, and most complications were related to the tibial site.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility of using pinless navigation for tibial component implantation in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. The results showed that the pinless navigation technique and the conventional technique achieved similar results in positioning the tibial component, with negligible differences in surgical time.

Summary: From 2015 to 2020, there was a relative increase of 13.7% and 601.2% in CN-TKAs and RA-TKAs, respectively. This trend was associated with reductions in hospitalization duration, postoperative complications, and opioid consumption.

Summary: The use of surgical navigation reduces all-cause revision rates after total knee arthroplasty, regardless of patient age. The benefit of surgical navigation becomes more pronounced with longer follow-up duration.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the postoperative outcomes of patients with complex EADs undergoing CAS-assisted constrained TKA, finding that the mechanical axis alignment was satisfactory, with improvements in KSS and range of motion. The use of CAS helped prevent anatomical conflicts and resulted in significant improvements in limb alignment and function postoperatively. No intra- or postoperative complications were reported.

Summary: This study compares the ten-year revision rates and patient-reported outcome measures of electromagnetically (EM) navigated and conventional total knee arthroplasty. The results show that there is no difference in revision rates or clinical outcomes between the two methods after ten years of follow-up. Patients who received EM navigated surgery had better outcomes at 3 months post-operatively, but the outcomes were equivalent between the two interventions from 1 to 10 years post-operatively.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes of conventional instrumentation and computer and accelerometer-based navigation tools in primary total knee arthroplasty. The results show that the navigation tools can improve postoperative alignment but do not improve complication rates or patient-reported functional outcomes.

Summary: This study demonstrates the long-term efficacy of a modified technique using strut allografts combined with a reduction osteotomy for total hip arthroplasty. The results show good longevity and functional outcomes in patients with aseptic and septic loosening, warranting further mechanical and clinical studies in the future.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term clinical and radiographic results of posterior cruciate-substituting total knee arthroplasty with highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) or conventional polyethylene. The findings suggest that there is no significant difference in clinical and radiographic outcomes between patients treated with HXLPE and those treated with conventional polyethylene.

Summary: This study demonstrates the long-term clinical results of third-generation cemented and second-generation cementless total hip arthroplasty in patients under 50 years old. The hip scores were similar between the cemented and cementless groups, but there was a high revision rate for acetabular components in both groups.
