Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed 585 revision total knee arthroplasties (TKA) to assess the prevalence of superficial wound complications and their impact on subsequent deep infections, finding that 2.4% required additional surgery for these complications.
- - Aseptic revisions had a higher risk of developing deep infections post-wound complications compared to reimplantation procedures, indicating differing risks associated with these types of surgeries.
- - Identified risk factors for wound complications included the presence of atrial fibrillation for all patients, and specific conditions like connective tissue disease and depression for different revision categories.
