Article Synopsis
- Total hip and knee arthroplasty procedures on patients with previous periarticular surgeries (conversion arthroplasties) are complex and may involve higher complication risks, including unexpected positive cultures (UPC) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI).
- A study reviewed 205 conversion arthroplasty cases from 2012 to 2018, finding that UPC occurred at rates akin to standard revision arthroplasties, with staphylococcal species being the most commonly isolated bacteria.
- The study concluded that while UPC are more common in conversion knee arthroplasties than in hips, UPC presence does not significantly increase the risk of developing PJI.
Background And Purpose: Open reduction is rarely performed in pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures. However, clear evidence is lacking regarding the optimal open approach to achieve satisfactory results. The anterior approach provides direct visualization of the fracture and excellent exposure to neurovascular structures, although its utilization is less common.

This study aims to determine the prevalence of unexpected positive cultures (UPC) in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). As a secondary objective, this study aims to compare the re-intervention rate in this specific group, between UPC and non-UPC patients.

However, there is a controversy about the stem fixation that should be used: cemented or cementless. Hence, this study aims to compare cemented and cementless stems in prosthetic revision due to Vancouver B2 (VB2) periprosthetic hip fracture.
