Background: Periprosthetic knee fracture (PPKF) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be difficult to treat. A PPKF can be treated both operatively and nonoperatively, and the treatment varies between fracture sites. This study aimed to assess the risk of reoperation according to the fracture site and treatment of the PPKF.

- Periprosthetic knee fractures (PPKFs) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are rare but serious, and this study examines risk factors in patients with osteoarthritis and varying levels of implant constraints.
- The analysis included data from over 120,000 primary TKA patients in Denmark, revealing that the cumulative risk of PPKFs increases over time, with notable risk factors being age, gender, comorbidities, and prior hip surgeries.
- Among patients with additional knee disorders or high implant constraints, the risk of PPKFs at 10 years was significantly higher, particularly noted for those with previous fractures or osteonecrosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the indication of "pain without loosening" as a reason for knee arthroplasty revisions in Danish patients, aiming to identify any hidden indications that may improve data quality in the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register.
- A total of 104 patients were reviewed, confirming "pain without loosening" as the primary reason in 103 cases, while also uncovering 44 hidden indications like malposition of components and stiffness.
- The findings highlight that while "pain without loosening" is recognized, other significant causes need documentation in registers, with a notable concern regarding the frequency of early arthrosis grades prior to surgery possibly contributing to unexplained knee pain.
Purpose: Does patients revised for unexplained pain after mUKA present the same PROM and satisfaction scores 1-3 years after revision as patients revised for aseptic loosening?".
Methods: 104 patients undergoing revision of mUKA's for the indications unexplained pain and aseptic loosening were included in the period January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. from the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register.
Background: It is unknown if patients are relieved of pain after knee arthroplasty revision for unexplained pain. The aim of this cross-sectional case-control study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and satisfaction 1 to 3 years after revision of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) for the indications of unexplained pain versus aseptic loosening.
Methods: We included 384 patients undergoing TKA revision for the indications of unexplained pain and aseptic loosening from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 from the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register.
Background: Limited nationwide data on the development of outpatient unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) practice and patient safety exist. The primary objective of this study on patients receiving a medial or lateral UKA was to investigate 7-, 30- and 90-day readmission risk and 90-day mortality in outpatient vs inpatient surgeries. Secondary to investigate the nationwide development of outpatient UKA surgery in 2014-2018.

This study aimed to compare pre- and postoperative analgesic consumption by patients undergoing revision for "pain without loosening" versus "aseptic loosening" and to determine predictors for postoperative long-term opioid use.
Methods: A retrospective nationwide study of 1,037 revisions for "pain without loosening" and 2,317 revisions for "aseptic loosening" during 1997-2018 from the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Register was carried out.
Background and purpose - Patients having a knee arthroplasty revision for the indication "pain without loosening" may have a higher risk of re-revisions than patients revised for other indications. The primary aim of this study was to compare the survival of knee arthroplasties revised for "pain without loosening" compared with "aseptic loosening." The second was to investigate the prosthesis survival rates in 3 surgical subgroups (total knee arthroplasty (TKA)-TKA; partial revision (revision of tibial or femoral component); unicompartmental knee arthroplasty-TKA) and to compare the prosthesis survival rates for 1997-2009 and 2010-2018.

By reducing oedema, wound complications can, in theory, be minimized. This study investigates the impact of compression stocking (CS) on such complications after treatment with ORIF.
