Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

The demand for revision knee surgery is rapidly increasing, highlighting the need for early detection of implant failure. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment and to reduce patient and hospital burdens.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures are rising exponentially.
  • Revision knee surgery is projected to increase by 601% in the US by 2030.
  • Increased awareness of implant failure signs is critical for timely referral.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the growing demand for revision knee surgery.
  • To highlight the importance of accurate diagnosis of implant failure modes.
  • To underscore the need for timely referral to surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Review of projected trends in joint arthroplasty.
  • Discussion of common causes of implant failure, prioritizing infection.
  • Analysis of the impact of accurate diagnosis on treatment outcomes.

The Use of Mixed Reality in Custom-Made Revision Hip Arthroplasty: A First Case Report

Published on: August 4, 2022

Main Results:

  • Significant increase in revision TJA procedures expected.
  • Infection is the primary cause to exclude in failed implants.
  • Accurate identification of failure mode is essential for successful revision outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition and accurate diagnosis of total joint arthroplasty failure are vital.
  • Improved physician awareness can mitigate increased patient morbidity and healthcare costs.
  • Revision surgery presents higher complication rates and less certain outcomes compared to primary procedures.
