Survival after contemporary solid organ transplant (SOT) is increasing, and demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) among SOT recipients is rising accordingly. The purpose of this study is to compare the perioperative outcomes and short-term implant- and patient-survivorship of contemporary THA following the most common types of SOT. Among SOT recipients, 119 primary THAs (92 patients, 39% female) were performed at a single institution from 2000–2020 and were retrospectively reviewed at a mean follow-up of 3.6yrs. Revisions, conversion to THA and multiple organs transplanted were excluded. The most common SOT was renal (39%), followed by lung (34%), liver (18%) and heart (8%). Demographics, peri-operative outcomes, 90-day re-admissions, re-operations and mortality were compared between SOT groups using chi-squared, Fisher's exact, Wilcoxon tests and Cox proportional hazard ratios.Introduction
Methods
Tibial cones are often utilized in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with metaphyseal defects. However, there are few studies evaluating outcomes out to five years with a sufficient cohort. The purpose of this study was to evaluate implant survivorship and complications in revision TKAs with tibial cones. A retrospective review was completed from September 2006 through March 2018 evaluating 149 revision TKAs that received a tibial cone. The mean follow-up was 5.3 years. According to the AORI classification: 8% were 1, 18% were 2A, 55% were 2B, and 19% were 3.Introduction
Methods
Modular dual mobility (MDM) acetabular components are often used to prevent dislocation in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). As there is insufficient data on these components, the outcomes were evaluated in a cohort with a mean follow-up time of greater than five years. Using the database of a single academic center, 126 revision THAs (117 patients) with one MDM were retrospectively reviewed. There were 94 hips in 88 patients with a mean follow-up time of 5.5 years. Survivorship analysis was performed with the endpoints of dislocation, reoperation for dislocation, cup revision for aseptic loosening, and cup revision for any reason. The secondary endpoints were perioperative complications and radiographic review.Background
