    Temporal Trends of Revision Etiologies in Total Knee Arthroplasty at a Single High-Volume Institution: An Epidemiological Analysis

    Background: Temporal changes in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) may have implications in determining the etiology for implant failure. The purpose of this study was to 1) perform an epidemiologic analysis of etiologies that required rTKA and 2) determine whether temporal changes existed for revision over the study period. Methods: All rTKA procedures performed at a single institution from 2009 to 2019 were analyzed. Revision procedures were stratified into 2 time periods, 2009-2013 and 2014-2019, to assess for changes over time. Patients’ electronic medical record, operative report, and radiographs were reviewed to ensure diagnosis information was accurately documented in relation to the predominate etiology necessitating the revision procedure. Results: Three thousand and nine patients undergoing rTKA between 2009 and 2019 were identified with a mean age of 64.6 years. A total of 1,666 (55.4%) patients were female, and the majority of patients were Caucasian (2,306, 76.6%). The 3 most frequent rTKA etiologies were aseptic loosening (35.1%), periprosthetic infection (33.2%), and instability (16.0%). A higher proportion of patients underwent rTKA for arthrofibrosis (5.1% vs 3.4%, P = .023) and periprosthetic joint infection (38.9% vs 28.6%, P < .001) between 2009 and 2013, while a significantly higher proportion of patients underwent rTKA for instability (12.6% vs 18.8%, P < .001) between 2014 and 2019. Conclusion: Aseptic loosening was the most common cause for rTKA over the last decade. rTKA for arthrofibrosis and periprosthetic joint infection was more frequent between 2009 and 2013, while a significantly higher proportion of patients underwent rTKA for instability in 2014-2019. Future studies will need to focus on identifying and reducing risk factors for the trending causes of rTKA

    Arthroscopic Femoral Osteochondroplasty With Capsular Plication for Osteochondroma of the Femoral Neck

    Osteochondromas of the femoral neck are a rare but challenging problem because of their distal location, which is difficult to access arthroscopically. Traditional methods of osteochondroma resection used invasive open approaches to manage these lesions. More recently, advances in hip arthroscopy have allowed expanded treatment of extra-articular hip conditions with a minimally invasive approach. Reports have described the use of hip arthroscopy for osteochondroma removal; however, surgical techniques for the procedure have yet to be described. We describe a technique for arthroscopic resection of a femoral neck osteochondroma using an extended capsulotomy and osteochondroplasty with subsequent capsular plication. This technique uses contemporary hip arthroscopic techniques and constitutes a safe and effective approach to addressing this rare intra-articular pathology of the hip
