Introduction: Single-stage revision arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) may yield comparable infection-free survivorship with two-stage revision arthroplasty. It is unclear if the most common mode of failure of single-stage revision arthroplasty is infection or aseptic loosening. In this meta-analysis, we sought to (1) determine survivorship and (2) compare rates of different etiologies of failure of single-stage revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines search was done using search terms for "single stage revision," "exchange arthroplasty," "periprosthetic infection," "PJI," and "single stage." Patient demographics such as age, body mass index, and mean follow-up time were recorded. Overall survivorship and rates of revision surgery were aggregated using a random-effects model. Comparison of septic and aseptic loosening rates was done by risk difference and associated 95% confidence interval (CI) calculation.

Results: Twenty-four studies were identified with 2,062 and 147 single-stage revision THA and TKA procedures performed between 1984 and 2019, respectively. The weighted mean follow-up and age were 69.8 months and 66.3 years, respectively, with 55% men overall. The all-cause revision surgery rate was 11.1% and 11.8% for THA and TKA, respectively. The revision surgery rate secondary to infection and aseptic loosening and associated 95% CI for the risk difference for THA and TKA was 5.5% and 3.3% (-1.7% to 5.0%), and 3% and 8.8% (-11.4% to 2.3%), respectively. Revision surgeries due to instability and fracture combined and mortality rate were both less than 3%.

Discussion: Single-stage revision THA and TKA for PJI demonstrated overall high rates of survivorship, low mortality, and revision surgeries secondary to infection and aseptic loosening to be equivalent. Aseptic loosening after single-stage revision TKA might be higher than in primary TKA. As implant survivorship from infection improves in PJI, surgeons should be aware of aseptic loosening as an equally common mode of failure.

Background: Contemporary guidelines advocate for initial debridement and single-stage definitive fixation with immediate soft tissue reconstruction for open fractures. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of single-stage stabilization and immediate definitive soft tissue coverage in open ankle fractures compared to closed fractures.

Methods: We compared all isolated open ankle fractures (OF) treated between January 2017 and June 2019 to a control group of operatively managed closed ankle fractures (CF).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the current literature to elucidate the optimal duration of systemic antibiotic therapy following one-stage revision TKA in the setting of PJI.

Methods: We conducted an electronic search in four databases including Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials without any publication date, language or study design filter on October 1, 2022. The search strategy adhered to PRISMA guidelines and consisted of four main keywords categories which were knee arthroplasty or knee prosthesis, infection and one-stage/single-stage revision.

Article Synopsis
  • The review examines the role of local antimicrobial protection in one-stage cemented and cementless hip revision surgeries, analyzing twelve studies on cemented procedures and seventeen studies on cementless procedures with at least two years of follow-up data.
  • Results indicate that 83.3% of patients treated with cemented procedures had no infection recurrence, while those treated without antibiotic-loaded cement showed a higher infection control rate of 95.9%.
  • For cementless procedures, 90.0% of patients remained infection-free on average, but no studies directly compared the effectiveness of local antibacterial protection, leading to inconclusive results regarding its role in surgery despite being safe and widely used.

What Happens After the Free Flap? Evaluation of Aesthetic and Functional Elective Revisions.

Article Synopsis
  • Microvascular free flap reconstruction, while intended to restore function and aesthetics in head and neck surgery, often requires elective revisions to improve contour, symmetry, and support for dental needs.
  • The study aimed to determine the rate and risk factors for these elective revisions by analyzing data from 377 patients who underwent free flap surgeries from 2014 to 2021, following a cohort design.
  • Results indicated that demographic, medical history, and complications potentially influenced the necessity for revisions, with a significant portion of the sample requiring additional surgeries to enhance results.
