Demand for primary and revision arthroplasty is expected to double in 10 years. Coincident with this is a decreased interest in arthroplasty by residents. Retirement of arthroplasty surgeons further threatens access. This study determines if supply will meet demand. Survey data were used to calculate the 2016 workforce. Demand in 2016 was estimated using the Nationwide Inpatients Sample. Between 2008 and 2016, 400 arthroplasty specialists and 1584 generalists will enter the workforce. By 2016, 1896 arthroplasty surgeons will retire using 65 years as a conservative retirement age, whereas 4239 will retire using 59 years as a baseline retirement age. In 2016, the model estimated a procedural shortfall ranging from 174?409 (↓18.6%) using conservative retirement assumptions (age, 65 years) to 1?177?761 (↓69.4%) using baseline retirement assumptions (age, 59 years). This economic model predicts a supply side crisis that threatens patient access to specialty care. Immediate steps to stimulate supply must be taken. 相似文献

This study evaluated the mortality rate, major complications, and early outcomes of single anesthetic bilateral total hip and knee arthroplasty compared with unilateral and staged procedures. A total of 37 828 total hip and knee arthroplasties were evaluated with 6-month Oxford 12 scores. Major complications and mortality rates were recorded. Analysis of variance tables were used for statistical analysis. The single anesthetic bilateral group were significantly younger (P < .001), with their age-adjusted postoperative Oxford 12 scores significantly better (P < .001) than the other 2 groups. The surgeons involved, in general, performed more than 25 total knee and hip arthroplasties per year. There was 1 death within the first 6 months occurring in the staged bilateral group and was unrelated to the surgery. The complication rate as reported by patients was low in all groups, and there was no significant difference. The results show that, in selected patients, single anesthetic bilateral total knee or hip arthroplasty is a safe, low-risk procedure with very good patient-generated outcome scores at 6 months when performed by an experienced surgeon. 相似文献

A systematic review of the literature was performed in order to evaluate the outcomes following arthrodesis of the hip and subsequent conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Eight studies regarding primary hip arthrodesis evaluating 249 hips revealed variable union rates (37.5%–100%) and patient satisfaction rates (69%–100%). Adjacent joint pain was commonly seen in the lower back (up to 75%) and ipsilateral knee (up to 57%) and complications were reported in 8.4%. Eleven studies regarding conversion arthroplasty evaluating 579 patients revealed inconsistent results regarding relief of pain. Complications were seen in up to 54%, most commonly due to mechanical failure, deep infection and nerve palsy. Whilst hip arthrodesis can provide pain relief and patient satisfaction, conversion arthroplasty is associated with an unacceptably high complication rate. 相似文献

Cryotherapy has theoretical and practical applications in the reduction of pain, swelling, and blood loss after trauma. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of cryotherapy after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Eleven studies involving 793 TKAs were included. There was considerable clinical and methodological heterogeneity. Cryotherapy resulted in small benefits in blood loss and discharge knee range of motion. There were no benefits in transfusion and analgesia requirements, pain, swelling, length of stay, and gains in knee range of motion after discharge. Despite some early gains, cryotherapy after TKA yields no apparent lasting benefits. Patient-centered outcomes remain underinvestigated. The current evidence does not support the routine use of cryotherapy after TKA. 相似文献

Interprosthetic fractures of the femur, those between an ipsilateral hip and knee arthroplasty, are challenging to treat secondary to limited bone available for fixation, osteopenic bone, a compromised intramedullary blood supply, and an often elderly patient population. From 2002 to 2006, 22 consecutive patients with an interprosthetic femur fracture were treated with a single-locking plate. Follow-up averaged 17.7 months, with fracture union achieved an average of 13.8 weeks postoperatively. All patients regained their preoperative ambulatory status and subjectively reported unchanged function of their hip and knee arthroplasties. Single-locked plating is an effective method of treatment of interprosthetic fractures of the femur. Emphasis on preservation of the soft tissue envelope and sufficient cortical purchase both above and below the fracture is of paramount importance. 相似文献

Pseudoaneurysms of the popliteal artery after total knee arthroplasty are rare. Although many possible explanations are proposed in the literature, no intimate mechanism of injury to the artery is previously described. We report on a case of popliteal pseudoaneurysm after a total knee arthroplasty that presented clinically on the second postoperative day. Open vascular surgery with resection of the pseudoaneurysm and end-to-end bypass of contralateral saphena vein graft was successfully performed. At the time of the surgery, a hole was clearly identified on the anterior wall of the popliteal artery due to a perforation with a pin used during the knee arthroplasty. The patient had no further complications. 相似文献

The clinical incidence of squeaking has been reported with increasing frequency, with ceramic-on-ceramic bearings seemingly most affected. This study investigated potential causes of squeaking in hard-on-hard hip bearings through 2 sets of experimental conditions. Bearing clearance appeared to affect the incidence of squeaking in metal-on-metal surface arthroplasties. The addition of third-body particles to the interface for total hip arthroplasties also affected the incidence of squeaking. In both studies, the incidence of squeaking correlated well with elevated friction. The findings of this study suggest that a likely cause of squeaking in the hip arthroplasty is adverse tribological conditions caused by suboptimal lubrication. There are numerous factors that may cause the suboptimal lubrication, and therefore, it is unlikely that an individual cause for squeaking will be identified. 相似文献

The results of 11 total knee arthroplasties in 9 patients with a Charcot joint secondary to neurosyphilis were reviewed. The mean age was 60.1 years, and follow-up averaged 12.3 years. Endomodel rotating hinge prostheses (Waldemar Link GMBH and Co, Hamburg, Germany) were implanted in all knees. The mean knee score increased from 44.9 before surgery to 95.0 at the final follow-up, and the mean function score increased from 45.0 before surgery to 93.6 at the final follow-up. Complications were noted in 3 knees, including 2 dislocations of the knee and 1 deep infection. The clinical results of total knee arthroplasty were satisfactory in most cases of Charcot joint. Rotating hinge prostheses are strongly recommended for use in Charcot joint. However, the procedure is technically demanding, and there were considerable complications. 相似文献

Delayed presentation of iliac artery injury by acetabular screw. Screw removal at liner revision of a 10-year-old uncemented acetabular shell resulted in unexpected catastrophic blood loss. Replacing the screw prevented further hemorrhage, and investigation revealed internal iliac artery injury caused by the screw. This was treated successfully by bypass grafting. Careful review of preoperative imaging should aim to identify those at risk and requiring further imaging before undergoing revision surgery. 相似文献

Metal-on-metal (MOM) hip articulations represent a potential alternative to conventional metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (THA). We performed a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature in search of studies comparing MOM with conventional primary THA with regard to functional outcomes, radiographic outcomes, and complication rates. Four Level I randomized controlled trials remained following our screening process. The data published in these studies were extracted and aggregated using a Mantel-Haenszel cumulative fixed effects meta-analysis. We found no significant difference between MOM and conventional THA with regard to functional outcomes as measured by Harris hip scores and radiographic outcomes as measured by radiolucent lines. Patients with MOM THA did however demonstrate a 3.37 times greater complication rate (1.57, 7.26). In light of the lack of superiority, the increased complication rate, the greater cost, and the potential for adverse medical consequences associated with MOM THA, these bearing surfaces should be used with caution. 相似文献

Rotational alignment of the femoral component is an important factor to achieve beneficial results in total knee arthroplasty. Femoral rotation pre versus post surgery was prospectively assessed in 40 patients who underwent ligament balanced knee arthroplasty. Computerized tomography of the knee was performed before and after the surgery to determine the femoral rotation. In 36 out of 40 patients the rotation of the femoral implants differed compared to the preoperative femur (P > 0.001). After surgery the rotational alignment of the femoral component ranged from − 3° (internal rotation) to 7° (external rotation). Increased external rotation was found in 33 out of 40 patients ranging from 1° to 7°. These results highlight the importance of individually determined femoral rotation in ligament balanced knee arthroplasty. 相似文献

With improving patient outcome after joint arthroplasty, new assessment tools with increased discriminatory power especially in well-performing patients are desirable. The goal of the present study was to develop and validate a new score (“Forgotten Joint Score,” or FJS) introducing a new aspect of patient-reported outcome: the patient's ability to forget the artificial joint in everyday life. After a pilot study, the FJS was validated and showed high internal consistency (Cronbach α = .95). Ceiling effects were considerably lower for the FJS (9.2%) compared with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities subscales (16.7%-46.7%). Known-group comparisons proved the FJS to be highly discriminative in a validation sample of 243 patients. The FJS not only reflects differences between “good” and “bad” but also between “good,” “very good,” and “excellent” outcomes. This concise score is appealing for its more adequate measurement range and because it measures the new, promising concept of the “forgotten joint.” 相似文献

We performed a prospective, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of using a bidirectional barbed suture compared with traditional sutures in the deep closure of primary total hip (25) and knee (35) arthroplasties. Complications, time to closure, and length of surgery were evaluated. Closure was noted to be significantly faster (9.3 vs 13.6 minutes, P < .005) in the barbed suture group. Wound-related complications were similar (3 cases) in both groups at 3-month follow-up. Although this study supports the use of barbed technology as a functionally comparable and more efficient modality of wound closure with the potential for costs savings based on reduced operative time, the cost-effectiveness of its adoption is institution dependent and will rely on the optimization of all other perioperative factors. 相似文献

Although the incidence of vascular injuries after total knee arthroplasty is quite low, clinical outcome could be significantly impaired. Quick response and accurate management are important to achieve the best possible outcome. We present 3 cases of popliteal pseudoaneurysm formation after total knee arthroplasty and their treatment by endovascular stenting together with a review of literature. 相似文献

Implants used for hip and knee arthroplasties have recently come under increased scrutiny. In England, a large variety of prostheses are currently being used. With the need for savings within the NHS of up to £20 billion over the next five years, we should be ‘getting it right first time’ by using the most reliable implants with proven survivorship. The 8th Annual Report from the NJR (2011) reporting on prostheses used in 2010 was analysed to determine whether implants had published survivorship data. This study demonstrates that the majority of implants did have long-term results but a small percentage had no published data. The cost of these implants was calculated to see if the implants provided best value for money based on survivorship. Implant choice was also correlated to revision rates published in the NJR report (2011) to help determine whether their continued use was justified. 相似文献

Superolateral acetabular bone defect is a serious challenge in uncemented total hip arthroplasty for acetabular dysplasia. We report a bulk bone autografting technique without decortication of the acetabulum and femoral head contact surfaces in 22 joints. Mean follow-up time was 8.3 years, and survival rates were 100% for loosening and revision end points. The preoperative Japanese orthopedic association hip score increased from 49.5 to 94.0. Although trabecular bridging and graft remodeling occurred in all cases, complete trabecular reorientation was observed in only 15 joints. Eccentric polyethylene wear was observed in 8 of 22 joints, and osteolysis, in 1 joint. Our technique is easy to perform, and midterm results were favorable; thus, we conclude that it may be an effective option for bulk bone autografting. 相似文献

Drainage-clamping methods are thought to be effective in reducing blood loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We conducted a systematic review to examine if these methods were effective without increasing the risk of complications. After a comprehensive search, 6 randomized controlled trials involving 603 knees and comparing clamping drainage and the immediate release of the drain after elective TKA were included in this analysis. The results demonstrated that drainage clamping could decrease the volume of drainage, but only clamping for no less than 4 hours could reduce the true blood loss. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding blood transfusion, postoperative range of motion, incidence of thromboembolic events, and wound complications. The current evidence cannot confirm the advantage of clamping drainage after TKA. 相似文献
