Article Synopsis
- The review examines the role of local antimicrobial protection in one-stage cemented and cementless hip revision surgeries, analyzing twelve studies on cemented procedures and seventeen studies on cementless procedures with at least two years of follow-up data.
- Results indicate that 83.3% of patients treated with cemented procedures had no infection recurrence, while those treated without antibiotic-loaded cement showed a higher infection control rate of 95.9%.
- For cementless procedures, 90.0% of patients remained infection-free on average, but no studies directly compared the effectiveness of local antibacterial protection, leading to inconclusive results regarding its role in surgery despite being safe and widely used.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess clinical and functional outcomes as well as the prosthesis survival rates of the U2 Knee system in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a minimum follow-up of four years.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 560 consecutively primary TKA performed between 2015 and 2019 due to osteoarthritis with a mean follow-up of 5.4 ± 1.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most effective treatment for end-stage adult knee osteoarthritis, but it has been reported that patient satisfaction may vary. A malfunction of the patellofemoral joint may produce anterior knee pain (AKP) for several reasons. While some surgeons systematically resurface the patella despite the risk of potential complications such as fracture, loosening, or wear of the patella, others prefer to preserve it to reduce AKP and revision rates.

This study aimed to determine the impact of the early appearance of radiolucent lines (linear images of 1, 2, or > 2mm at the cement-bone interface) around the TKA on prosthetic survival and functional outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients during a 2-20 years follow-up.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of RA patients treated with TKA between 2000 and 2011.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the survivorship rates of 2-stage treatment with gentamicin-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate articulated knee spacer in patients with chronic periprosthetic joint infection and to identify risk factors associated with failure.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study among 73 patients with chronic periprosthetic joint infection after primary total knee replacement with articulated polymethylmethacrylate gentamicin-impregnated spacers (Subiton, Medical Labs, Ind Argentina), performed in a single institution with a minimum follow-up of 7 years. Clinical and functional assessment was performed with Knee Society Score and Western and Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index.
