Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful treatment for osteoarthritis with good clinical outcomes . Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKA has a low incidence between 0.5 and 3% but it is nevertheless one of the most dreadful complications . Two-staged revisions are considered to be the gold standard for revision in chronic PJI with infection eradication rates of over 90% . Recently, similar infection eradication rates after one-staged revision arthroplasty have been reported , raising the question whether the two-staged approach can still be considered the gold standard. We therefore performed a literature review to analyse the correlation of one-staged and two-staged TKA revisions with recurrent infection rates and functional outcomes. Studies concerning PJI treated by one- or two-staged revision published between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved by searching the databases PubMed/Medline and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 29 studies were included in this qualitative synthesis. Mean follow-up was at 4.9 ± 2.6 years. The mean infection eradication rate after one-staged revision vs. two-staged revision in TKA was 87 ± 8.8% vs. 83 ± 11.7%. The functional outcome measured by the mean Knee Society Score (KSS) of one-staged revision vs. two-staged revision in TKA was 80 ± 5.9 vs. 80 ± 3.9 points. One-staged revision arthroplasty in TKA appears to have similar infection eradication rates and functional outcomes compared to two-staged revision arthroplasty. However, these results should be interpreted with caution, since selection bias may have played a significant role. Several criteria to guide the surgeon in selecting the appropriate procedure have been described, but the current recommendations are based on poor evidence as randomized controlled trials are lacking . Two-staged revision remains a successful treatment option which is rightly the gold standard. However, there is a variety of cases in which one-staged revision is a viable alternative, where similar success rates and functional outcome can be expected .

Best timing of bilateral total hip arthroplasty - an analysis of revision and mortality rates from the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD).

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

August 2024

University Center of Orthopaedic, Trauma and Plastic Surgery, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TUD Dresden University of Technology, Fetscherstr. 74, 01307, Dresden, Germany.

Background: The burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in multiple joints is high and for patients with bilateral OA of the hip there is no clear recommendation about the indication for simultaneous (one-stage) bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus two-staged procedures. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare revision and mortality rates after different strategies of surgical timing in bilateral hip OA from the German Arthroplasty Registry (EPRD).

Methods: Since 2012 22,500 patients with bilateral THA (including 767 patients with one-staged bilateral surgery and 11,796 patients with another separate procedures within one year after first THA) are documented in the registry.

Reanimation of the Lower Lip with the Anterior Belly of Digastric Transfer: A Systematic Review.

Facial Plast Surg Aesthet Med

September 2024

Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, New York, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Dynamic reanimation of the lower lip is complicated, often treated with methods like chemodenervation, and this study evaluates the anterior belly of digastric transfer for patients with lip weakness.
  • A systematic review included nine studies with 164 patients, finding that the procedure was successful in 162 cases, with most patients receiving a one-stage approach.
  • Patient satisfaction was notably high at 90.6%, and complications were minimal, suggesting that this method is both safe and effective for achieving lip symmetry and function.

Single-stage total hip arthroplasty after failed fixation of proximal femoral fractures: an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infections?

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

October 2022

Department of Traumatology and Reconstructive Surgery, BG Trauma Center Tübingen, Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Schnarrenbergstrasse 95, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.

Background: Higher complication rates have been reported for total hip arthroplasty (THA) after osteosynthesis of proximal femur fractures (PFF). This study evaluated the infection risk for conversion of internal fixation of PFF to THA by a single-staged procedure in the absence of clear infection signs.

Methods: Patients undergoing a one-staged conversion to THA (2013-2018) after prior internal fixation of the proximal femur were included.

Postoperative spinal implant infection (PSII) is a commonly found and serious complication after instrumented spinal surgery. Whereas early-onset PSII usually can be diagnosed by clinical symptoms, the diagnosis of late-onset PSII can be often made only by examination of intraoperatively collected samples. The treatment of PSII consists of surgical and antibiotic therapy schemes.
