Introduction: Bone loss is present in all revision total knee arthroplasties. Metaphyseal cones allow surgeons to negotiate loss of femoral and tibial bone stock while obtaining stable bony fixation. This study examines the mid-term functional and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) utilizing a novel metaphyseal cone system.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study examined all patients who received a porous, titanium tibial or femoral cone at four academic urban tertiary care institutions and presented for a minimum two-year follow-up. Patient demographics, indications for revision surgery, knee range-of-motion (ROM), re-revision rates, radiographic measurements, bone defect per AORI classification, and implant osseointegration were evaluated according to the Knee Society total knee arthroplasty (TKA) radiographic evaluation system.
Results: One-hundred and four patients received 128 cone implants (84 tibial, 44 femoral cones; 24 patients with simultaneous ipsilateral tibial and femoral cones; 104 rTKA) with mean follow-up of 32.75 ± 6.54 months. The pre-operative main revision indications were aseptic loosening 36 (34.61 %), periprosthetic infection (PJI) 23 (22.11 %) and instability 18 (17.3 %). Thirteen rTKA underwent re-revision surgery: 3 for acute PJI, 4 for chronic PJI, 5 for instability, and 1 for mechanical failure of a hinged system. At most recent radiographic follow-up available, all unrevised cones had evidence of osteointegration and no visible implant migration.All-cause re-operation free survivorship was 87.5 % (91/104), and all-cause cone implant survivorship was 96.09 % (123/128 cones) at 2-year follow-up.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates excellent mid-term outcomes of a novel porous, titanium metaphyseal cone in patients with large bone defects undergoing complex revision TKA.
Level Of Evidence: IV, case series.

Total knee arthroplasty is a life-changing surgical procedure that is associated with a high incidence of severe postoperative pain. Key to enhancing recovery after surgery is effective analgesia and early mobilisation. Innovations in motor-sparing regional anaesthesia techniques that have improved recovery include targeted surgical local infiltration analgesia, adductor canal blockade, genicular nerve blocks, and the infiltration between the popliteal artery and posterior capsule of the knee (iPACK) block.

Patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare, yet serious complication, potentially requiring revision surgery or resulting in chronic dysfunction. When encountered, it is paramount to understand the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes of the selected treatment. The most common cause of patella instability is improper positioning of components, leading to lateral maltracking of the patella.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether IV dexamethasone, within the current multimodal pain management protocol, (1) could maintain postoperative pain at a comparable level without IV PCA, (2) could reduce opioids-related side effects, and (3) whether an additional dose of dexamethasone on POD 2 would offer further pain-relieving effect without increasing the risk of complications. Methods A total of 178 patients (182 knees) who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis were included in the study. The patients were divided into Dexa 2 & PCA and Dexa 3 & NoPCA group.

Patellar tendon rupture (PTR) is a rare and severe postoperative complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even rarer is the intraoperative occurrence of PTR during TKA. PTR is a major complication as it can lead to chronic disability, functional limitations, and postoperative morbidity.
