Aim: This study aimed to assess complications and the presence of late deep infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who underwent primary and revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). 
 Materıial and Method: Between June 1997 and October 2022, cemented TKA that cut the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was applied to 50 knees of 34 patients with RA, and posterior-stabilized (PS) revision TKA was applied to 7 knees of 5 patients. All the patients enclosed in this study were adults diagnosed with RA by a rheumatology or physical therapy physician according to the RA diagnostic cr

Rationale: Mycoplasma hominis is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in the human genitourinary system. However, infections caused by Mycoplasma hominis following knee arthroplasty are relatively rare. Patient concerns: A 68-year-old male patient underwent bilateral total knee arthroplasty 2 years ago due to osteoarthritis. Over the past 3 months, he developed persistent swelling and pain in both knees, along with the formation of a mass in the left knee. The patient also has a history of type 2 diabetes and hypoalbuminemia. Diagnoses: Joint fluid samples from both knees were collected fo

Approximately, one-third of the patients who are candidates for total knee replacement fall into the younger patient group category. In this group, where life expectancy can exceed 20 years[1], the survivorship of a TKR is limited. This becomes an important issue since one or more revision surgeri

Complications associated with hip replacements include aseptic failure and prosthetic-joint infection [4].

Abstract:
Introduction: Coronavirus diasease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with inflammatory, ischemic and autoimmune neurological complications. We report a case of Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) as an autoimmune neurological complication in COVID-19, an association still rare in the literature. Case report: A 45-year-old woman, presented with back pain of strong intensity with irradiation to the left lower limb, associated with painful muscle contracture and weakness in the same limb with progressive worsening in two days. Neurological examination revealed strength grade II, hyporeflexia, tactile a

Abstract:
The amputation is represented by the deliberate surgical removal of a limb, limb segment, or body part. From an etiological point of view, the amputations are caused by chronic vascular diseases, diabetes, tumors and trauma. At the lower limbs, the amputation can be performed at the following levels: finger amputation, transmetatarsal amputation, Lisfranc amputation, Chopart amputation, Syme amputation, transtibial amputation, rotationplasty, knee disarticulation, transfemoral amputation, hip disarticulation and hemipelvectomy. The level of the amputation is determined by factors such as: at t

Abstract:
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is an important and in-demand procedure for the aging population of the United States. In recent decades, the number of TKR procedures performed has shown an increase. This pattern is expected to continue in the coming decades. Despite medical advances in orthopedic surgery, a high number of patients, approximately 20%, are dissatisfied with their procedure outcomes. Common causes that are suggested for this dissatisfaction include loosening of the implant components as well as infection. To eliminate loosening as a cause, it is necessary to determine the state of

This supplementary report provides demographic information and outcomes for revision hip and knee procedures. There are separate sections for hip and knee replacement. Each section provides overall demographic and summary data. More detailed information, including types of revision, reasons for revision and outcomes are provided for the 1st revision where the primary procedure was captured by the Registry. These analyses are restricted to cases with a primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis and exclude those revised for infection. For hip replacement overall, the most common reason for revision is

Abstract:
The 2023 Hip, Knee and Shoulder Arthroplasty Report is based on the analysis of 1,982,200 (850,603 hip, 1,046,247 knee and 85,350 shoulder) primary and revision procedures recorded by the Registry, with a procedure date up to and including 31 December 2022. As with last year’s Annual Report, to ensure that the relevance and currency of AOANJRR data are maintained, almost all analyses (unless specifically stated) have been confined to hip, knee and shoulder prostheses that were still being used in 2022. Again, historic data are still available in previous Annual Reports on the AOANJRR website.

Abstract:
Introduction: There is a paucity of published data on whether a treated infected arthroplasty is a risk factor for infection in another, non-operated joint. Contamination of a primary, arthritic, non-operated joint from an infected arthroplasty is a relatively rare entity. Case: We report a case of migration of a pathogen (Enterococcus faecalis) from an infected prosthetic joint (hip) to the contralateral native joint (knee). Identification of the pathogen was made with PCR, by obtaining cultures during the implantation of the primary knee prosthesis. Conclusion: Contamination of a primary, ar
