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

ABSTRACT:

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.
