Outcomes of Implant-Arthrodesis as Limb Salvage

Purpose We sought to evaluate our consecutive series of knee-implant arthrodesis patients for failed total knee arthroplasties with medium term clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 4 patients (average age, 75 years; range, 69–79) with failed knee arthroplasties and deficient extensor mechanism who underwent..

Failure of Cemented Constrained Acetabular Component

Abstract Constrained acetabular components are used as a salvage option for unstable total hip arthroplasties particularly in elderly low demand patients. Their indications include multiple failed revisions with abductor deficiency, neurologic or neuromuscular impairment, recurrent dislocations where the cause of instability cannot be identified despite well-aligned components. Failure of these..

​ Abstract Infection following total knee replacement surgery is a challenging and devastating complication. Clinical assessment including history, examination, radiographs, blood tests and knee aspirations helps to establish the diagnosis. Revision surgery is typically required to eradicate infection and restore function. This has traditionally been performed through two-stage revision surgery, although..

Higher failure rate of two-stage revision for infected knee arthroplasties

Purpose To evaluate clinical outcomes of two-stage revision arthroplasty for managing infected knee arthroplasties in significantly compromised patients (host-C).   Methods This was a prospective consecutive series of two-stage revisions of infected total knee arthroplasties in host-C-type patients with a minimum 2-year follow-up using objective and patient-reported outcome measures. Thirteen consecutive..

Infected total hip replacements

Abstract Infected total hip replacements pose a diagnostic and management challenge. Careful history, clinical examination, blood tests, plain radiographs and hip aspiration are all part of the clinical assessment. International consensus on establishing the diagnosis helps surgeons to formulate management plans. Management strategies include debridement and prosthesis retention, single-stage revision,..
