We sought to investigate the safety of ICIs in patients with pre-existing ADs as well as factors associated with AD flare.

The authors retrospectively reviewed 29 hip and 13 knee arthroplasties performed in 17 adolescents and young adults from 1973 through 1979. Most patients had severe multiple joint involvement; 16 had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical and roentgenographic evaluations were performed before operation and at routine intervals for up to 11 years after operation.
