Aims: We estimated the prevalence of people living with at least one hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasty in the Netherlands.

Methods: We included the first hip (n = 416,333), knee (n = 314,569), or shoulder (n = 23,751) arthroplasty of each patient aged ≥ 40 years between 2007 and 2022 (hip/knee) or 2014 and 2022 (shoulder) from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI). Data on the size of the Dutch population were obtained from Statistics Netherlands.

Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has been developed as treatment for disabling tibiotalar osteoarthritis. TAAs are divided into mobile- and fixed-bearings. The aim was to determine the incidence and trends of fixed- and mobile bearings over time and investigate the association of bearing type and risk of revision after primary TAA in the Netherlands.

Article Synopsis
  • Hip dysplasia poses challenges for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to anatomical differences, prompting a study to evaluate factors affecting implant survival and patient outcomes.
  • Analyzing data from 7,465 patients treated from 2007 to 2021, the study categorized THAs based on age, prior pelvic osteotomy, and fixation methods, using statistical models to assess 5- and 10-year revision-free survival rates and reasons for revisions.
  • The study found high 10-year revision-free survival (94.9%), but noted that younger patients and those with prior pelvic osteotomies had lower survival rates and reported worse patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) compared to others.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can lead to higher re-revision rates and even higher mortality rates that may be associated with the responsible microorganism. We evaluated microorganisms that cause early PJIs in primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) and examined mortality as well as PJI re-revision rates after these PJIs, using a combined dataset from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and the Dutch National Nosocomial Surveillance Network (PREZIES). Secondly, the most common microorganisms that cause PJIs were described according to patient and implant survival.

Background And Purpose: This study aims to assess time trends in case-mix and to evaluate the risk of revision and causes following primary THA, TKA, and UKA in private and public hospitals in the Netherlands.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 476,312 primary arthroplasties (public: n = 413,560 and private n = 62,752) implanted between 2014 and 2023 using Dutch Arthroplasty Register data. We explored patient demographics, procedure details, trends over time, and revisions per hospital type.
