Background: This study aims to evaluate patient reported and functional outcomes following hybrid versus cemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients, stratified by body mass index (BMI).
Methods: Registry data of patients undergoing primary TKA between January 2004 and January 2013 were collected. Baseline interviews were conducted preoperatively to assess sociodemographic characteristics, BMI, and knee arthritis severity, using the Knee Society Score which consists of the Knee Society Knee Score and the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). These scores were collected prospectively, preoperatively, and postoperatively up to 2 years. Two-year outcomes and 5-year revision rates were then compared between (1) hybrid and cemented TKA groups and (2) BMI subclasses within the hybrid and cemented TKA groups.
Results: Patients who underwent cemented TKA had marginally better flexion range, KSFS, and OKS at 2 years postoperatively. In the overweight category, flexion range, KSFS, and OKS were marginally lower for hybrid TKAs. There were no differences in outcomes between the 2 groups in Class I and II obesity. Within the cemented TKA group, there were no differences in the outcomes between BMI subclasses. There were significant differences in the KSFS (0.023) and OKS (0.030) between the BMI subclasses within the hybrid TKA group, with patients in Class II obesity faring the worst. There was no statistically significant difference in the revision rates.
Conclusion: We conclude that obesity does not affect outcomes in hybrid versus cemented TKA.

Comparing different timings of tourniquet application in total knee arthroplasty: effects on postoperative pain and bone cement interface.

Department of Orthopaedics, FuyangHospital of Anhui Medical University, Fuyang, Anhui, China.
Objective: This study aims to elucidate the impact of varying tourniquet application timings on postoperative pain and the bone cement interface following TKA.
Method: Patients who underwent TKA in our department between March 2021 and July 2023 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to three groups: Group 1 used tourniquets throughout the operation, Group 2 applied tourniquets before the osteotomy, and Group 3 applied tourniquets after completing the osteotomy.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures and the number of patients which undergo TKA will continue to rise in the coming years. Consecutively, the number of necessary revision surgeries will increase. One of the main reasons for revision surgery is aseptic loosening because of a so-called stress-shielding effect.

•The success of cementless fixation in TJA depends on a multitude of factors including biological, mechanical, implant, surgical, and material properties.•Biologic fixation has become the primary mode of fixation for the majority of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries done today in the United States (US) due to its low complication rate and superior longevity compared to cemented fixation.•Cementless fixation has yet to gain wider acceptance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and hip hemiarthroplasty due to several factors including host bone quality, implant design, and surgical technique.

Purpose: >The aim of this multicenter study was to analyze the potential impact of patient demographics and cementation technique towards the development of radiolucent lines (RLLs) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It was hypothesized that cementation techniques, including higher cement volume, double-layer cementation technique and hardening in full extension, reduce RLL incidence by improving stability, whereas demographic factors such as age, BMI and smoking may increase RLL risk by affecting bone quality and mechanical loading.
Methods: Altogether, 776 patients (median age: 70.
Efficiency and Safety of Repeated Vertebroplasty for Adjacent Segment Fractures.

Department of Orthopedics, School of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei 11221, Taiwan.
To review the outcomes of patients who underwent repeated vertebroplasty (VP) surgery for adjacent segment fractures (ASF), defined as new osteoporotic vertebral fractures occurring at levels immediately above or below a previously treated vertebra. From 1 January 2018, to 31 December 2020, forty-one patients who developed ASF following initial VP and underwent repeated VP were enrolled in our study. Radiographic measurements included single and two-segment kyphotic angles (SKA and TKA), and anterior and mid-vertebral body height (AVH and MVH).
