Purpose: The primary aim of our study was to identify the absolute incidence and implant survival of multiply revised knee arthroplasties based on nationwide register data. The secondary aim was to determine the change in the absolute incidence and implant survival of multiply revised knee arthroplasties Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of primary knee arthroplasties using several nationwide Danish registers. All primary knee arthroplasties performed in Denmark from 1998 to 2021 were identified.

Aims: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and bias evaluation of the current literature to create an overview of risk factors for re-revision following revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA).

Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase was completed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The studies were required to include a population of index rTKAs.

Background And Purpose: The incidence of primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased over the last decades. Previous forecasts from different healthcare systems have predicted a continuous increase. We present a forecast of both primary and revision surgery from 2020 to 2050 based on 25 years data from the healthcare system in Denmark.

Background: Some patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty successfully manage their condition postoperatively, whereas others encounter challenges in regaining function and controlling pain during recovery at home.

Objective: The aim of this study was to use traditional statistics and machine learning to develop prediction models that identify patients likely to have increased care needs related to managing function and pain following total knee arthroplasty.

Methods: This study included 201 patients.

Purpose: Existing evidence estimates a twofold risk of venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) if tourniquet is applied during total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). However, this estimate relies on multiple trials with a low number of patients analyzing VTEs as a secondary outcome. We hypothesized that tourniquet-use increases the risk of symptomatic VTE within 90 days of contemporary primary TKA and aimed to use the extensive Danish healthcare registries to quantify this risk.
