Introduction: Revision of total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) for suspicion of metal hypersensitivity (MHS) may require hypoallergenic implants. Results for coated implants have not been reported. The aim of the present study was to assess short-term results and survival of rTKA for MHS using a multilayer implant coating.
Hypothesis: Multilayer implant coating improves functional results in rTKA, with survival comparable to primary coated implants.
Material And Methods: A single-center retrospective observational study included 28 patients (30 knees) undergoing rTKA for MHS using a coated implant between May 2011 and November 2016. Exclusion criteria comprised implant malpositioning and history of infection in the affected knee. Clinical and radiological results were assessed on the International Knee Society (IKS) and SF-36 functional scores and Ewald radiological score. Survival was calculated on Kaplan-Meier estimation.
Results: Mean follow-up was 3.8 years. Mean IKS score increased by 40.2 points (40%) [range, 28.1-52.3] (p<0.05). Mean range of motion increased by 17° [range, 9.5-24.5°] (p<0.05). Mean physical and mental SF-36 components were respectively 44.7 and 46.1. Survivorship was 93%.
Discussion: There was significant functional improvement after rTKA for MHS. There were no short-term complications related to the zirconium nitrate coating. However, studies with longer follow-up will be needed for confirmation.
Level Of Evidence: IV; retrospective study.

Centre for Rehab Innovations, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, Australia.
Background: Dissatisfaction with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgical outcomes remains between 10-20% and is associated with higher levels of societal costs. Expectations regarding post-surgical outcomes is considered as one of the major factors influencing satisfaction, however, there are no standardised methods for assessing patient's expectations regarding activities to be achieved following surgery.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to identify patient expectations relating to activities of importance following TKA and to describe goal fulfillment at 3 months post-TKA.

How To Improve Patient Selection in Individuals With Lower Extremity Amputation Using a Bone-anchored Prosthesis.

Background: Many patients with a lower limb socket-suspended prothesis experience socket-related problems, such as pain, chronic skin conditions, and mechanical problems, and as a result, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often negatively affected. A bone-anchored prosthesis can overcome these problems and improve HRQoL, but these prostheses have potential downsides as well. A valid and reliable tool to assess potential candidates for surgery concerning a favorable risk-benefit ratio between potential complications related to bone-anchored prostheses and improvements in HRQoL is not available yet.

Methods: In this double-blind study, American Society of Anesthesiologists I to II patients undergoing TKA were assigned to receive 0.125% bupivacaine + fentanyl 4 µg/mL (group R) or 0.

To investigate the relationships among neuropathic pain (NP), pain catastrophizing (PC), and central sensitization (CS) in relation to functional status and radiological damage in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This cross-sectional study included knee OA patients derived from an observational cohort. The Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the PainDetect Questionnaire (PDQ), Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS).
