Abstract | Introduction: While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is typically implemented in patients > 65 years old, young patients may need to undergo TKA for pain relief and functional improvement. Current data are limited by older cohorts and short-term survival rates. This study aimed to examine a large sample size of patients with degenerative and inflammatory conditions who underwent primary TKA at a young (≤ 40) age to identify predictors of reoperation, as well 15-year survivorship. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was performed on 77 patients (92 surgeries) who underwent primary TKA at ≤ 40 years old, between January 1990 and January 2020. Patient charts were reviewed and a multivariable logistic regression model identified independent predictors of reoperation. Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed to build survival curves and log-rank tests analyzed survival between groups. Results: Of the 77 patients, the median age at the time of surgery was 35.7 years (IQR: 31.2-38.7) and median follow-up time was 6.88 years. Twenty-one (22.8%) primary TKAs underwent 24 reoperations, most commonly due to stiffness (n = 9, 32.1%) and infection (n = 13, 46.4%) more significantly in the OA group (p = 0.049). There were no independent predictors of reoperation in multivariable analysis, and 15-year revision-free survivorship after TKA did not differ by indication (77.3% for OA/PTOA vs. 96.7% for autoimmune, p = 0.09) or between ≤ 30 and 31-40 year age groups (94.7% vs. 83.6%, p = 0.55). Conclusions: In this cohort of patients ≤ 40 years old, revision-free survival was comparable to that reported in the literature for older TKA patients with osteoarthritis/autoimmune conditions (81-94% at 15-years). Though nearly a quarter of TKAs required reoperation and causes of secondary surgery differed between degenerative and inflammatory arthritis patients, there were no significant predictors of increased reoperation rate. Very young patients ≤ 30 years old did not have an increased risk of revision compared to those aged 31-40 years. |
