AI Article Synopsis
- The popularity of metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthroplasty is on the rise due to their demonstrated effectiveness in osseointegration and survivorship over the medium to long term.
- Once osseointegrated, these sleeves offer strong biological fixation, making them challenging to remove surgically.
- The text outlines a surgical technique for removing these sleeves in modern knee revision systems, supported by case examples.
Article Abstract
The use of metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthroplasty has gained popularity with numerous clinical series demonstrating excellent osseointegration and survivorship at medium- to long-term follow up. Once osseointegrated, sleeves provide excellent biological fixation and are difficult to remove. Here, we describe our surgical technique and sequence in removing metaphyseal sleeves in contemporary revision knee systems with case demonstrations.

Introduction: Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (RTKA) is complex, and induced bone loss might endanger implant fixation and joint stability. Intramedullary stems improve fixation throughout stress redistribution. The current study aims to compare the performance of short tibial stems with long tibial stems, investigating their intermediate-term radiographic and survival outcomes in RTKA.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Introduction Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (RTKA) is a complex procedure challenged by significant bone loss, necessitating effective restoration techniques. This study investigates the clinical outcomes and complications of metaphyseal sleeves in RTKA with severe metaphyseal bone loss, aiming to evaluate their efficacy over a minimum four-year follow-up. Methods This was a retrospective observational study on 29 patients who underwent RTKA with Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) type II or III bone defects using porous coated tibial and/or femoral metaphyseal sleeves from December 2016 and January 2019.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) with extra-articular deformity (EAD) is a rare condition for which achieving accurate alignment with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is difficult. Extra-articular corrective osteotomy may be necessary for severe deformities. A 76-year-old man underwent TKA for knee OA with EAD due to malunion after fractures of the femur and tibia.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses how the normal development of the knee joint in children can present imaging findings that may look like injuries or weaknesses, emphasizing the importance of understanding these variations.
- It categorizes developmental variants into tibiofemoral and patellofemoral compartments, focusing on specific conditions and injuries that can occur in each area.
- Additionally, the article highlights various soft tissue and bone structures that can also exhibit unique developmental characteristics, which can be easily confused with actual pathologies.
