Outcomes of Lower Extremity Total Joint Arthroplasty in Patients With Skeletal Dysplasia: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with genetic skeletal dysplasias often require lower extremity total joint arthroplasty (TJA) due to early joint degeneration; however, little data exists regarding the outcomes of TJA in this population. Our purpose was to review the literature to determine the complication rates, revision rates, implant survivorship, and patient-reported outcomes of total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in those with genetic skeletal dysplasias.

Methods

A systematic literature review of online databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) was conducted. Studies that reported the outcomes of THA or total knee arthroplasty in patients with genetically confirmed skeletal dysplasias were included. Case reports and studies that defined dysplasia based on height al
