Fracture of the tibial baseplate in total knee arthroplasty is a rare occurrence, particularly in short- and mid-term follow-up. This case series documents the first known report in the literature of fatigue fracture of a cementless, 3D-printed, highly porous titanium tibial component. We recommend regular follow-up visits with radiographs to confirm adequate total knee arthroplasty component positioning and alignment.

A finite element analysis to assess tibial bone fracture in malleolar regions following total ankle replacement: Influences of implant designs and implant-bone interfacial conditions.

Background: Tibial bone fractures in the malleolar regions are a major concern during the early postoperative period of total ankle replacement (TAR), affecting patient outcomes such as stability and recovery. Design, placement, and anatomic misalignment of implant components can contribute to malleolar fractures. The aim of this study is to understand the influence of implant design features, including keel, peg, stem, and bar type design, and bone-implant interfacial conditions on malleolar fracture following TAR.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Double-level osteotomies (DLOs) have shown promising results for knee joint preservation, however, most ultimately progress in terms of degenerative disease resulting in conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the time to TKA conversion, long-term clinical outcomes and revision rates of patients who have undergone TKA after prior ipsilateral DLO.
Methods: Patients who underwent simultaneous or staged DLO and subsequently underwent conversion to TKA at a single academic institution from 1997 to 2022 were evaluated.
Evaluation and refinement of thresholds for early migration of total knee replacements as an estimator of late aseptic loosening: an updated systematic review of RSA and survival studies.
Acta Orthop

Department of Orthopaedics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Background And Purpose: This study updates 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses from 2012, which established the 1-year radiostereometric (RSA) migration thresholds for tibial components of total knee replacements (TKR) based on the risk of late revision for aseptic loosening from survival studies. The primary aim of this study was to determine the (mis)categorization rate of the 2012 thresholds using the updated review as a validation dataset. Secondary aims were evaluation of 6-month migration, mean continuous (1- to 2-year) migration, and fixation-specific thresholds for tibial component migration.

Background And Objective: The efficacy of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with intraoperatively identified patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) has been a subject of debate. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the early outcomes of UKA in patients with varying intraoperative PFOA conditions and to explore the relationship between the location of PFOA and the position of the prosthesis post-UKA. Our aim was to determine whether the presence of PFOA affects the short-term success of medial UKA.

Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Center, Worthington, Ohio.
The Quantum total ankle prosthesis is a newer Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved fourth-generation 2-component, fixed-bearing implant in its first-generation design. The purpose of this study was to evaluate early outcome data and present our initial experience with the Quantum implant with a minimum of a 1-year follow-up. A retrospective, single-centered chart and radiographic review was performed on all patients who underwent total ankle arthroplasty with the Quantum implant from December 2021 to August 2023.
