Aim

It is traditionally stated that around 80% of all periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are caused by well-known gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus. With the advances in diagnostic modalities and improved abilities to isolate infective organisms, we believe the organism profile causing PJI has changed over time and includes numerous other organisms that were either not recognized as pathogens and/or considered as contaminants.

Method

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1,363 patients with confirmed PJI (559 THA and 804 TKA) who received treatment at our institution between 2000 and 2019. Pertinent data related to demographics, microbiological findings, and outcome of treatment were collected. Organisms were differentiated using culture or confirmed by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-time of flight (MALDI-tof) mass spectrometry. Statistical analysis included logistic regressions.

Introduction

Cementless TKA offers the potential for strong fixation through biologic fixation technology as compared to cemented TKA where fixation is achieved through mechanical integration of the cement. Few mid-term results are available for newer cementless TKA designs that have used additive manufacturing (3-D printing) for component design. The purpose of this study is to present minimum 5-year clinical outcomes and implant survivorship of a specific cementless TKA using a novel 3-D printed tibial baseplate.

Methods

This is a single institution registry review of the prospectively obtained data on 296 cementless TKA using a novel 3-D printed tibial baseplate with minimum 5-year follow-up. Outcomes were determined by comparing pre- and post-operative Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS JR) scores and pre- and post-operative 12 item Veterans RAND/Short Form Health Survey (VR/SF-12). Aseptic loosening as well as revision for any reason were the endpoints used to determine survivorship at 5 years.
