Purpose: Total knee replacement (TKR) failure represents a hard challenge for knee surgeons. TKR failure can be managed in revision with different constraint, related with soft and bone knee damages. The choice of the right constraint for every failure cause represents a not summarized entity. The purpose of this study is identifying distribution of different constraints in revision TKR (rTKR) for failure cause and the overall survival.

Methods: A registry study based on the Emilia Romagna Register of the Orthopaedic Prosthetic Implants (called RIPO) was performed with a selection of 1432 implants, in the period between 2000 and 2019. Selection implants including primary surgery constraint, failure cause and constraint revision for every patient, and divided for constraint degrees used during procedures (Cruciate Retaining-CR, Posterior Stabilized-PS, Condylar Constrained Knee-CCK, Hinged).

Results: The most common cause of primary TKR failure was aseptic loosening (51,45%), followed by septic loosening (29,12%). Each type of failure was managed with different constraint, the most used was CCK in the most of failure causes, such as to manage aseptic and septic loosening in CR and PS failure. Overall survival of TKA revisions has been calculated at 5 and 10 years for each constraint, with a range of 75.1-90.0% at 5 years and 75.1-87.5% at 10 years.

Conclusion: Constraint degree in rTKR is typically higher than primary, CCK is the most used constraint in revision surgery with an overall survival of 87.5% at 10 years.

Purpose: Revision knee replacement (RevKR) for infection is rare but increasing. It is hypothesised that higher hospital volume reduces adverse outcomes. The aim was to estimate the association of surgical unit volume with outcomes following first, single-stage RevKR for infection.

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.

Total knee replacement (TKR) failure, low patient satisfaction and high revision surgery rates may stem from insufficient preclinical testing. Conventional joint motion simulators for preclinical testing of TKR implants manipulate a knee joint in force, displacement, or simulated muscle control. However, a rig capable of using all three control modes has yet to be described in literature.

Aim: To evaluate SPECT-CT in the diagnosis of single component aseptic loosening in patients with a problematic cemented stemmed TKR (Total Knee Replacement).

Methods: SPECT-CT was performed where aseptic loosening was suspected but was not clear on plain radiography. Demographics, suspected diagnosis and intention to revise were collected prospectively before and after SPECT-CT.

Background: CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown remarkable outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The effects of CD19-targeting CAR T cells on organ manifestations in patients with systemic sclerosis have yet to be characterised. B cells have a central role in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis.
