    Abstract Introduction: Unicompartmental designs and techniques have been developed to preserve bone stock and minimize soft tissue trauma. Early modern designs and techniques have been introduced with little support in the peer-reviewed literature.
    Material and methods: From October 2002 to May 2004, 64 consecutive DePuy Preservation unicondylar knee arthroplasties (UKAs) were performed in 56 patients. Two patients died of unrelated consequences, leaving 62 UKAs for review (55 medial, 7 lateral). All procedures were performed through a quadriceps-sparing approach. All components were cemented, including an all polyethylene tibial component. Clinical and radiographic follow-up data were reviewed and analyzed.
    Results: At an average follow-up of 2.5 years, six (11%) of the medial tibial components have subsided. Of these, four had moderate-to-severe pain, one did require a revision to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and another did stabilize. An additional two patients continued to have knee pain (one requiring conversion to TKA), leaving a total of 55 UKAs (89%) functioning well at early follow-up. Additional complications have included four deep vein thromboses, three cardiac issues following the index procedure, one surgical site infection, one intraoperative medial femoral condyle fracture, and one reoperation for loose cement fragments.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates a high rate of subsidence for all-polyethylene tibial components used in UKA, resulting in pain and failure of the arthroplasty. Despite the less invasive approach, we found complications that are usually associated with TKA surgery as well as those unique to UKA.

    Abstract Background: Gait abnormalities such as Trendelenburg gait (TG) in patients who have hip osteoarthritis (OA) have traditionally been evaluated using clinicians' visual assessment. Recent advances in portable inertial gait sensors offer more sensitive, quantitative methods for gait assessment in clinical settings. This study sought to compare sensor-derived metrics in a cohort of hip OA patients when stratified by clinical TG severity.
    Methods: There were 42 patients who had hip OA and were grouped by TG severity (mild, moderate, and severe) through visual assessment by a single arthroplasty surgeon who had > 30 years of experience. After informed consent, wireless inertial sensors placed at the midpoint of the intercristal line collected gait parameters including pelvic shift, support time, toe-off symmetry, impact, and cadence. Clinical data on hip strength, range of motion, and Kellgren-Lawrence grade were collected.
    Results: Worsening TG severity had a higher mean Kellgren-Lawrence grade (2.5 versus 3.2 versus 3.4; P = .014) and reduced passive hip abduction (P = .004). Severe TG group demonstrated predominantly contralateral pelvic shift (n = 9 of 10, 90.0%), while ipsilateral shift was more frequently detected in moderate (n = 10 of 18, 55.6%) and mild groups (n = 9 of 14, 64.3%; P = .021). Contralateral single support time bias was greatest in severe TG (35.7% versus 50.0 versus 90.0%; P = .027). Asymmetric toe-off, impact, and support times were observed in all groups.
    Conclusions: Traditional understanding of TG is that truncal shift occurs to the ipsilateral side. Using sensor-based measurements, the present study demonstrates a shift of the weight-bearing axis toward the contralateral side with increasing TG severity, which has not been previously described. Inertial sensors are feasible, quantitative gait measuring tools, and may reveal subtle patterns not readily discernible by traditional methods.

    Abstract Optimal pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can expedite postoperative recovery, improve perioperative outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction. Periarticular injections (PAIs) have become increasingly used to improve pain management after TKA. Similar to peripheral nerve blocks, the use of intraoperative PAIs can lower pain scores and expedite discharge from the hospital. However, there is notable variability in the ingredients and administration techniques of PAIs. Currently, no standard of care exists for PAIs, especially in the setting of adjuvant peripheral nerve blocks. This study seeks to evaluate the ingredients, administration techniques, and outcomes of PAIs used during TKA.

    Abstract Introduction: Soft tissue defects are a devastating complication of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Rotational flaps are commonly utilized to address these defects with variable reports of success. This study aimed to identify predictors of poor outcomes in rotational muscle flap placement after prosthetic knee infections. The authors hypothesized that outcomes may vary based on infecting pathogen and treatment characteristics.
    Methods: 44 cases of rotational muscle flaps for prosthetic knee infection were retrospectively evaluated at a tertiary referral hospital from 2007 to 2020. Muscle flap types included 39 medial and four lateral gastrocnemius, and one anterior tibialis. Minimum follow-up was 1 year (median: 3.4 years). Primary outcome was flap-related complications. Secondary outcomes included recurrent infection requiring additional surgery, final joint outcomes, and mortality.
    Results: One-year complication-free flap survivorship was 83.9%, recurrent infection-free survivorship was 65.7%, and amputation-free survivorship was 79%. Multivariable cox regression revealed that rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis (HR: 3.4;
    Conclusion: Rotational muscle flaps for soft tissue coverage of the knee are often performed in limb salvage situations with poor survivorship from flap complications, reinfections, and amputation. When considering surgical options for limb salvage, patients should be counseled on these risks.

    Abstract Introduction: On January 1, 2018, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from the inpatient-only (IPO) list, expanding outpatient TKA (oTKA) to include patients with insurance coverage through their programs. These regulatory changes reinforced the need for preoperative optimization to ensure a safe and timely discharge after surgery. This study compared modifiable preoperative optimization metrics in patients who underwent oTKA pre-IPO and post-IPO removal. The authors hypothesized that patients post-IPO removal would demonstrate improvement in the selected categories.
    Methods: Outpatient TKA in a national database was identified and stratified by surgical year (2015 to 2017 versus 2018 to 2020). Preoperative optimization thresholds were established for the following modifiable risk factors: albumin, hematocrit, sodium, smoking, and body mass index. The percentage of patients who did not meet thresholds pre-IPO and post-IPO removal were compared.
    Results: In total, 2,074 patients underwent oTKA from 2015 to 2017 compared with 46,480 from 2018 to 2020. Patients undergoing oTKA after IPO removal were significantly older (67.0 versus 64.4 years; P < 0.01). A lower percentage of patients in the post-IPO cohort fell outside the threshold for all modifiable risk factors. Results were significant for preoperative sodium (10.7% versus 8.8%; P < 0.01), body mass index (12.4% versus 11.0% P = 0.05), and smoking history (9.9% versus 6.6%; P < 0.01).
    Conclusion: Outpatient TKA has increased considerably post-IPO removal. As this regulatory change has allowed older patients with increased comorbidities to undergo oTKA, the need for appropriate preoperative optimization has increased. The current data set demonstrates that surgeons have improved preoperative optimization efforts for select modifiable risk factors.

    Abstract Introduction: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed total hip arthroplasty (THA) from the inpatient-only list but continued to classify admissions as inpatient if they include two midnights, complicating care if an outpatient THA requires extended hospitalization. This study evaluates risk factors of patients undergoing outpatient-designated THA with a length of stay (LOS) ≥ 2 days.
    Methods: A total of 17,063 THA procedures designated as outpatient in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2015 and 2020 were stratified by LOS < 2 days (n = 2,294, 13.4%) and LOS ≥ 2 days (n = 14,765, 86.6%). Demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were compared by univariate analysis. Multivariable regression analysis identified predictors of LOS ≥ 2 days.
    Results: Outpatients with extended LOS were older (mean 65.3 vs. 63.5 years; P < 0.01); were more likely to have body mass index (BMI) > 35 (24.0 vs. 17.8%; P < 0.01); and had higher incidences of smoking (15.1% vs. 10.3%; P < 0.01), diabetes (15.4% vs. 9.9%; P < 0.01), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4.4% vs. 2.3%; P < 0.01), and hypertension (57.6% vs. 49.2%; P < 0.01). Patients with LOS ≥ 2 days had a higher incidence of surgical site infection (P < 0.01), hospital readmission (P < 0.01), and revision surgery (P < 0.01) over 30 days. Multivariable analysis demonstrated advanced age, female sex, African American race, Hispanic ethnicity, diabetes, smoking, and hypertension were independent risk factors for LOS ≥ 2 days.
    Conclusion: Despite removal from the inpatient-only list, a subset of outpatient THA remains at risk of an extended LOS. This study informs surgeons on the relevant risk factors of extended stay, enabling early inpatient preauthorization.

    Abstract Background: This study evaluated blood glucose (BG), creatinine levels, metabolic issues, length of stay (LOS), and early postoperative complications in diabetic primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. It examined those who continued home oral antidiabetic medications and those who switched to insulin postoperatively. The hypothesis was that continuing home medications would lead to lower BG levels without metabolic abnormalities.
    Methods: Patients who had diabetes who underwent primary TKA from 2013 to 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Diabetic patients who were not on home oral antidiabetic medications or who were not managed as an inpatient postoperatively were excluded. Patient demographics and laboratory tests collected preoperatively and postoperatively as well as 90-day emergency department visits and 90-day readmissions, were pulled from electronic records. Patients were grouped based on inpatient diabetes management: continuation of home medications versus new insulin coverage. Acute postoperative BG control, creatinine levels, metabolic abnormalities, LOS, and early postoperative complications were compared between groups. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to measure associations.
    Results: A total of 867 primary TKAs were assessed; 703 (81.1%) patients continued their home oral antidiabetic medications. Continuing home antidiabetic medications demonstrated lower median maximum inpatient BG (180.0 mg/dL versus 250.0 mg/dL; P < .001) and median average inpatient BG (136.7 mg/dL versus 173.7 mg/dL; P < .001). Logistic regression analyses supported the presence of an association (odds ratio = 17.88 [8.66, 43.43]; P < .001). Proportions of acute kidney injury (13.5 versus 26.7%; P < .001) were also lower. There was no difference in relative proportions of metabolic acidosis (4.4 versus 3.7%; P = .831), LOS (2.0 versus 2.0 days; P = .259), or early postoperative complications.
    Conclusions: Continuing home oral antidiabetic medications after primary TKA was associated with lower BG levels without an associated worsening creatinine or increase in metabolic acidosis.

    Abstract Background: Flexion instability is a common cause for revision after total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, little objective criteria exist to determine excessive laxity in flexion. This study sought to determine the reliability of stress radiographs for flexion laxity using manual stress as well as a commercially available flexion stress device, with the hypothesis that a commercially available force device would provide increased translation compared to manual stress, and radiographic measurements would be reproducible.
    Methods: Ten patients who previously underwent TKA with non-hinged components were prospectively and consecutively enrolled at a single center to undergo stress radiographs. Three lateral radiographs with the knee at 90° of flexion were obtained for each patient: rest, commercial stress device at 150N, and manual stress. Calibrated radiographs were evaluated by two raters, and inter-rater and intra-rater reliability were determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
    Results: Ten patients (seven female) with mean age 72 (range 55-82) years and average duration from surgery 36 (range 12-96) months were evaluated. The commercial stress device provided significantly less anterior translation than manual stress (- 0.3 mm vs. 3.9 mm; p < 0.01). Two patients reported pain with use of the stress device. Inter-observer reliability of measurements was good for commercial stress (ICC = 0.86) and excellent for manual stress (ICC = 0.94). Eighty-five percent of measurements were within 1 mm between observers. Intra-observer reliability of measurements was good to excellent for both the stress device and manual stress.
    Conclusions: Lateral stress radiographs may assist in the objective evaluation of flexion instability. A commercially available product provided less translation than manual stress; however, measurements were reliable and reproducible between observers. Further research is required to correlate translation with stress radiographs to patient outcomes following revision arthroplasty.
