Demographic factors, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), race, and ethnicity have great effects on the outcomes of patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. A portion of this data is included in nearly every study, but the completeness with which it is reported is variable. The purpose of this study is to investigate the frequency at which demographic information is reported and analyzed through formal statistical methods in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the Journal of Arthroplasty (JOA).

Christopher A.RothfuszBSDanielGritsBSAhmed K.EmaraMDRobert M.MolloyMDViktor E.KrebsMDNicolas S.PiuzziMD

Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2021, Pages 3831-3838
Work relative value units (wRVUs) measure a surgeon’s time and intensity required to perform the pre-service, intra-service, and post-service work of a surgical procedure and are commonly used to compare a physician’s work between different procedures. Previous literature across multiple specialties report that longer, often revision, operations are undervalued when compared to primary procedures. Our study aims to analyze the differences in intra-operative time, and its corresponding wRVU/h between the Medicare benchmarks and real-world time-stamped data for total joint arthroplasty procedures.

It is unclear how the condition of one side of the hip joint affects the natural history of contralateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to investigate the natural progression of bilateral ONFH on the asymptomatic side between patients with collapse progression and cessation on the symptomatic side.

Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2021, Pages 3845-3849
Racial disparities surrounding the utilization of total hip and total knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) are well documented. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) is a validated tool used to measure implicit and explicit bias. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if variations in IAT scores by geographical region in the United States (US) correspond with regional variations in THA and TKA utilization by blacks compared to whites.

Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2021, Pages 3850-3858
Web-based patient engagement portals are increasing in popularity after total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA). The literature is mixed regarding patient utilization of these modalities and potential clinical benefit. We sought to determine which demographic factors are associated with increased platform participation and to quantify the impact of a web-based patient portal on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Tranexamic Acid is Associated With Decreasing the Risk of Complications in Patients Undergoing Arthroplasty With Preoperative Coagulopathy
Graham S.GohMDTaylorD’AmoreMDJess H.LonnerMDYale A.FillinghamMD
doi : 10.1016/j.arth.2021.08.009
Volume 36, Issue 12, December 2021, Pages 3864-3869.e1
Preoperative coagulopathy is a risk factor for perioperative blood loss. The antifibrinolytic effects of tranexamic acid (TXA) could negate the association between preoperative coagulopathy and adverse outcomes in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, no studies have evaluated this relationship. This study compared the perioperative outcomes of coagulopathic patients undergoing TJA who did and did not receive TXA.

Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (sim-BTKA) is reported to be safe in a select group of patients. Patients with symptomatic bilateral knee arthritis who are not candidates for sim-BTKA require staged surgery (stag-BTKA). This study aimed to compare the safety and complications associated with sim-BTKA with stag-BTKA performed at 2 time intervals.

The International Statistical Classification of Disease, 10th Revision Procedural Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a granular procedural classification system with the ability to precisely classify types of technology utilized in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, coding nuances and the rapidly evolving nature of technology may lead to coding inaccuracies. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of ICD-10-PCS coding in computer-navigated and robotic THA and discuss its implications on clinical data.

In order to reduce the incidence of total hip joint replacement revision for wear, multiple advanced materials and alloys targeting hip replacement tribology have been introduced. Ion implantation of chromium-cobalt heads is thought to reduce wear due to increased surface hardness and lower friction. These advances in technology result in additional manufacturing costs. However, it is unclear whether these attributes result in a decreased rate of revision for wear and when used with modern highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE). The aim of this study is to compare the survivorship of stainless steel and ion-implanted chromium-cobalt femoral heads in order to determine whether ion implantation has a lower risk of revision.

The International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) came into effect in October 2015. The new procedural codes (ICD-10-PCS) were designed to specify granular aspects of the procedure, including laterality and revised components. This specificity could improve data collection in institutional databases, large registries, and administrative claims data. Given these possible applications, this study’s purpose was to assess the accuracy of ICD-10-PCS coding for revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA).

Distal femoral replacement (DFR) is commonly used to manage massive bone loss around the knee arising from aseptic loosening, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), and distal femoral fractures. A number of studies report the outcome of DFR with considerable variation in long-term survivorship. This study investigated the outcome of DFR for patients with aseptic failures, fractures, and PJI.

The use of antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement for treating periprosthetic joint infections remains controversial. We hypothesized that the raw rate of surgical site infection (SSI) is lower after using cement loaded with high-dose gentamicin and clindamycin than after using cement loaded with standard-dose gentamicin for implant fixation during 1-stage hip and knee revision arthroplasty for infection.
Complications and Outcomes Associated With a Novel, Prefabricated, Articulating Spacer for Two-Stage Periprosthetic Joint Infection Treatment
