Case: We report the case of a patient with bilateral below-the-knee amputation who had a periprosthetic fracture around a total knee arthroplasty. The fracture was managed with a revision total knee arthroplasty. We discuss the rationale for revision surgery, the surgical techniques, and the postoperative rehabilitation. Follow-up at one year demonstrated maintenance of the pretrauma functional status.
Conclusion: In selected patients with a periprosthetic fracture, we believe that revision of a total knee arthroplasty may be considered as an option rather than an above-the-knee amputation or an arthrodesis.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) significantly impacts the quality of life of those afflicted, with many patients eventually requiring surgical intervention. While Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is common, it may not be suitable for younger patients with unicompartmental OA, who might benefit more from High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). Effective patient education is crucial for informed decision-making, yet most online health information has been found to be too complex for the average patient to understand.

Background: Our understanding of osteoarthritis (OA) has evolved from a degenerative disease to one in which low-grade, chronic inflammation plays a central role. In addition, evidence suggests that OA is accompanied by both peripheral and central nervous system sensitization that can cause pain. It has been demonstrated that transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) can relieve pain, inflammation, and central sensitization in other conditions including fibromyalgia, pelvic pain, and headaches.

Objective: Timely and complete surgical wound healing substantially affects the patient's performance and satisfaction with surgery outcomes. Sutures and staples are two common wound closure methods in total knee arthroplasty; however, their role in reducing the rate of surgical wound infections and dehiscence in diabetic patients is unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the rate of infection and post-closure dehiscence in wounds closed with either nylon sutures or skin staples in diabetic patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
