Background: Severe bone and soft tissue defects are common after failed two-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). There is a paucity of evidence on the outcomes of using a hinged prosthesis for knee PJI reconstruction during second-stage re-implantation, especially regarding implant survivorship, reinfection risk factors, and functionality after successful reconstruction.
Methods: A total of 58 knee PJI patients with Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) type II/III defect and soft tissue insufficiency underwent reconstruction with hinged prosthesis. Enrolled patients adhered to a two-stage exchange arthroplasty protocol and were evaluated for a mean follow up of 65.1 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted for implant survivorship and infection-free survival. Multivariate analysis was used to determine independent risk factors for recurrent infections. Knee Society Score (KSS) was used to evaluate functional outcomes.
Results: The survivorship of hinged prosthesis was 86.2% at 2 years and 70.2% at 5 years. Infection-free analysis revealed an estimation of 68.9% at 2 years and 60.6% at 5 years. Of the 58 patients, 13 (22.4%) developed recurrent PJI, three (5.2%) aseptic loosening, and one (1.7%) periprosthetic fracture. Multivariate analysis revealed that obesity (hazard ratio (HR), 3.11), high-virulent pathogen (HR, 3.44), and polymicrobial infection (HR, 3.59) were independent risk factors for reinfection. Patients showed a mean improvement of 32.8 ± 7.7 in Knee Society Clinical Score (KSCS) and 30.8 ± 11.0 in Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) after successful reconstruction (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Using hinged knee prosthesis for PJI reconstruction provided an overall implant survival of 70.2% and an infection-free survival of 60.6% at mid-term follow up. Obesity, virulent pathogens, and polymicrobial infections were independent risk factors for infection recurrence.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with hardware around the knee is a challenge to preserve bone while boney landmarks are distorted. Robotic assisted (RA) TKA may assist in simultaneous hardware removal and TKA due to preoperative planning and retention of bone. The aim of this study is to identify if there are differences in component fixation, component constraint and functional outcomes dependent during simultaneous removal of hardware (ROH) around the knee and TKA comparing RA-TKA to manual.

Background: The Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis (CMP) is a widely applied semi-constrained implant that effectively counteracts compression and thrust on the hinge. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the indications and outcomes of CMP across different aetiologies for which it was implanted.
Materials And Methods: Selected articles were reviewed to extract: population data, surgical indications, preoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes, survival rate, and complications.
