    Abstract Spine surgeries are occurring more frequently worldwide. Spinal implant infections are one of the most common complications of spine surgery, with a rate of 0.7% to 11.9%. These implant-related infections are a consequence of surface polymicrobial biofilm formation. New technologies to combat implant-related infections are being developed as their burden increases; however, none have reached the market stage in spine surgery. Conferring antimicrobial properties to biomaterials relies on either surface coating (physical, chemical, or combined) or surface modification (physical, chemical, or combined). Such treatment can also result in toxicity and the progression of antimicrobial resistance. This narrative review will discuss "late-stage" antimicrobial technologies (mostly validated in vivo) that use these techniques and may be incorporated onto spine implants to decrease the burden of implant-related health care-acquired infections (HAIs). Successfully reducing this burden will greatly improve the quality of life in spine surgery. Familiarity with upcoming surface technologies will help spine surgeons understand the anti-infective strategies designed to address the rapidly worsening challenge of implant-related health care-acquired infections.

    Abstract Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) assesses multiple aspects of patient well-being but has not been thoroughly studied amongst orthopedic oncology patients.
    Questions/purposes: How do preoperative/early postoperative PROMIS scores compare in patients with benign versus malignant soft tissue tumors (STTs) for (1) physical function, (2) pain interference, and (3) depression? Are the differences clinically relevant? What other patient/tumor factors impact PROMIS?
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 314 STT patients who underwent resection of a benign (n = 187) or malignant (n = 127) STT over a period of 4.25 years at a single institution. PROMIS physical function, pain interference, and depression scores were collected preoperatively and at two and six weeks postoperatively. Scores for each time point were compared between groups and to preoperative baselines. Backward-stepwise linear mixed-effects models were produced to identify independent predictors of change in each PROMIS domain. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was 4 points.
    Results: The malignant cohort, but not the benign cohort, demonstrated clinically relevant worsening of physical function postoperatively. Malignant diagnosis (△ = -4.4, p < 0.001) and lower extremity tumors (△ = -4.5, p < 0.001) were identified as clinically relevant, independent predictors of worse physical function at all time points. No predictors of clinically relevant changes in pain interference or depression scores, including malignancy, were identified.
    Conclusions: In STT patients, malignancy and lower extremity STT location are associated with clinically relevant worsening in physical function but do not significantly impact pain interference or depression in the early postoperative period. These findings may help establish the utility of PROMIS in an orthopedic oncology population.

    Abstract Background: The implications of two-stage revision on mental health are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to determine (1) whether patients undergoing two-stage revision total hip and knee arthroplasty for prosthetic joint infection were more likely to get Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression scores consistent with major depressive disorder (MDD) than those undergoing aseptic revision and (2) whether these symptoms resolved after the procedure.
    Methods: Records of all 366 patients that underwent revision total hip or knee arthroplasty from January 1, 2015, - June 20, 2019, were reviewed. Forty-two patients were excluded for missing PROMIS Depression scores or incomplete treatment. Preoperative (<3 months), early postoperative (2-8 weeks), and final postoperative (6-18 months) Depression scores were collected. Patients crossing the PROMIS Depression threshold equivalent to a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥10, indicative of MDD, were evaluated.
    Results: More two-stage revision patients developed Depression scores indicative of MDD perioperatively than the aseptic cohort (20.0% vs 6.5%,
    Conclusions: Twenty percent of two-stage revision arthroplasty patients, compared to <7% of aseptic revision patients, developed PROMIS Depression scores consistent with MDD during treatment. At final follow-up, a clinically significant improvement in Depression scores from baseline was evident in both cohorts.
