A Comparison Between Polyethylene Exchange and Full Revision for Arthrofibrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00320-6. [PMID: 38604277 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis is a debilitating postoperative complication and a major cause of patient dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for stiffness after TKA. For cases not amenable to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), one component or full revision are both suitable options. In a value-based healthcare era, maximizing cost-effectiveness with optimized clinical outcomes for patients remains the ultimate goal. As such, we compared (1) Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR), (2) range of motion (ROM), as well as (3) complication rates, including MUA and lysis of adhesions (LOA), between polyethylene exchange and full component revision for TKA arthrofibrosis. METHODS Patients were queried from an institutional database who underwent revision TKA for arthrofibrosis between January 1, 2015, and April 31, 2021. There were 33 patients who underwent full revision and 16 patients who underwent polyethylene exchange. Demographics and baseline characteristics between the cohorts were analyzed. Postoperative outcomes included MUA, LOA, and re-revision rates as well as KOOS, JR, and extension and flexion ROM at a mean follow-up of 3.8 years. Baseline comorbidities, including age, body mass index, alcohol use, tobacco use, and diabetes, were comparable between the full revision and polyethylene exchange revision cohorts (P > .05). The one and full component revisions had similar preoperative KOOS, JR (43 versus 42, P = .85), and flexion (81 versus 82 degrees, P = .80) versus extension (11 versus 11 degrees, P = .87) ROM. RESULTS The full component revision had higher KOOS, JR (65 versus 55, P = .04), and flexion (102 versus 92 degrees, P = .02), but similar extension (3 versus 3 degrees, P = .80) ROM at final follow-up compared to the polyethylene exchange revision, respectively. The MUA (18.2 versus 18.8%, P = .96) and LOA (2.0 versus 0.0%, P = .32) rates were similar between full component and polyethylene exchange revisions. There was one re-revision (3.0%) for the cohort of patients who initially underwent full revision. There were four full re-revisions (25.0%) and two polyethylene exchange re-revisions (12.5%) performed in the cohort of patients who initially underwent a polyethylene exchange revision. CONCLUSIONS The full component revision for stiffness after TKA showed favorable KOOS, JR, ROM, and outcomes in comparison to the polyethylene exchange revision. While the optimal treatment for stiffness after TKA is without consensus, this study supports the use of the full component revision when applied to the institutional population at hand. It is imperative that homogeneity exists in preoperative definitions, preoperative baseline patient demographics, ROM and function levels, outcome measures, and preoperative indications, as well as the inclusion of clinical data that assesses complete exchange, single exchange, and tibial insert exchange.

Low-Dose Irradiation and Rotating-Hinge Revision for the Treatment of Severe Idiopathic Arthrofibrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Review of 60 Patients With a Mean 6-Year Follow-Up. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:1075-1082. [PMID: 37863275 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.10.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe idiopathic arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenging problem to treat. Low-dose irradiation may decrease fibro-osseous proliferation, while rotating-hinge (RH) revision allows for distal femur shortening and collateral ligament sacrifice. This study reports the clinical outcomes and implant survivorship in patients treated with low-dose irradiation and RH revision for severe idiopathic arthrofibrosis following TKA. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on 60 consecutive patients. Patients who had greater than 80° arc of knee motion or less than 15° flexion contracture were excluded. Mean follow-up was 6 years (range, 2 to 14). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analyses were performed, and logistic regressions were used to determine associations between preoperative patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Median flexion contracture and median terminal flexion at presentation were 20 and 70°, respectively; at final follow-up, 59 of 60 patients (98%) had ≤10° flexion contracture and 49 of 60 patients (82%) had ≥90° of flexion. The 10-year survivorship free from reoperation for any reason, revision for any reason, and revision for aseptic loosening were 63, 87, and 97%, respectively. There were 27% percent of patients who underwent a manipulation under anesthesia postoperatively, which was the most common reason for return to the operating room. A greater number of prior surgeries was significantly associated with worse range of motion at the final follow-up (P = .004). There were no known radiation-associated complications. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe idiopathic arthrofibrosis following TKA treated with low-dose irradiation and RH revision maintained a gain in knee range of motion of 60° with reliable flexion contracture correction at a mean 6-year follow-up. A manipulation under anesthesia was common in the postoperative period. Survivorship free from revision for aseptic loosening was excellent at 10 years.

Abstract
Background Arthrofibrosis (AF) is a fibrotic joint disease resulting from excessive collagen production and fibrous scar formation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This devastating complication may cause consistent pain and dramatically reduction of functionality. Unfortunately, the conservative treatments to prevent the AF in the early stage are largely unknown due to the lack of specific biomarkers and reliable therapeutic targets. Methods In this study, we extracted1782 fibrosis related genes (FRGs) from 373,461published literature based on the large natural language processing models (ChatGPT) and intersected with the 2750 differential expressed genes (DEGs) from mRNA microarray (GSE135854). A total of 311 potential AF biomarker genes (PABGs) were obtained and functional analysis were performed including gene ontology (GO) annotation and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. Subsequently, we accomplished validation in AF animal models with immobilization of the unilateral knee joints of 16 rabbits for 1-week, 2-weeks, 3-weeks and 4-weeks. Finally, we tested the biomarkers in a retrospective cohort enrolled 35 AF patients and 35 control group patients. Results We identified G-protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) as a reliable therapeutic biomarker for AF diagnosis with higher AUC (0.819) in the ROC curve. A total of 21 potential drugs targeted to GPR17 were screened. Among them, pranlukast and montelukast have achieved therapeutic effect in animal models. In addition, we established an online AF database for data integration (https://chenxi2023.shinyapps.io/afdbv1). Conclusions These results unveiling therapeutic biomarkers for AF diagnosis, and provide potential drugs for clinical treatment. The translational potential of this article Our study demonstrated that GPR17 holds significant promise as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for arthrofibrosis. Moreover, pranlukast and montelukast targeted to GPR17 that could be instrumental in the treatment of AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing number of young patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there will be an increase in the number of patients who require revision. While the results of TKA in younger patients are well known, there is little information regarding to the outcomes of revision TKA in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes in patients <60 years of age undergoing aseptic revision TKA. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 433 patients undergoing aseptic revision TKA between 2008 and 2019. There were 189 patients <60 years compared to a group of 244 patients >60 years undergoing revision TKA for aseptic failures in terms of implant survivorships, complications, and clinical outcomes. Patients were followed for a mean of 48 months (range, 24 to 149). RESULTS A total of 28 (14.8%) patients less than 60 years of age required repeat revision compared to 25 (10.2%) 60 years or older (odds ratio (OR) 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-5.22, P = .187). There were no differences regarding postprocedural Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical health scores (72.3 ± 13.7 versus 72.0 ± 12.0, P = .66) and PROMIS mental health scores (66.6 ± 17.4 versus 65.8. ± 14.7, P = .72), at an average of 32.9 and 30.7 months, respectively. Postoperative infection occurred in 3 (1.6%) patients <60 years of age, while 12 (4.9%) postoperative infections occurred in patients 60 years or older (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.06-10.2, P = .83). CONCLUSION There were no statistically significant differences in clinical outcomes between patients <60 versus > 60 years of age undergoing aseptic revision TKA.

Abstract
Introduction Arthrofibrosis occurs in up to 10% of patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). For cases that are not amenable to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), there is little consensus on how many components should be revised. We compared outcomes of polyethylene exchanges, when doing lysis of adhesions (LOA) versus full component revision. Specifically, we assessed: (1) re-operation rates at one and two years; (2) rates of surgical complications at one year; and (3) associated risk factors for requiring a LOA. Methods A database queried all patients who underwent revision TKA for arthrofibrosis. A total of 2410 patients were identified, 1120 (46.5%) of which underwent all-component knee revision, while the remaining 1290 (53.5%) underwent polyethylene spacer revision. Multivariate logistic regressions assessed re-operation rates and risk factors for requiring LOA. Results The incidence and odds of re-operation within one year following polyethylene exchange was not significantly different than full component revision (10.9 versus 12.9%, odds ratio (OR) 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.64-1.06], p = 0.145). However, the adjusted models for re-operation within one- and two-years following LOA in the form of polyethylene exchange revision was significantly higher than the full component revision cohort (OR 1.52 CI [1.07-2.17], p = 0.022 and OR 1.44 CI [1.06-1.97] p = 0.022). Risk factors associated with the need for lysis of adhesions included age less than 60 years, depression, fibromyalgia, and anxiety. Conclusions Full component revision TKA for arthrofibrosis was associated with lower two-year re-operation rate than polyethylene exchange. Risk factors for LOA include younger age and fibromyalgia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arthrofibrosis is a common inflammatory complication of joint trauma and surgery. 5lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a key enzyme involved in inflammation. Inhibition of 5-LO has been shown to reduce inflammation in heart and lung models but has not been examined in a joint contracture model. METHODS Twenty-six rats underwent joint contracture. Six rats served as non-surgical controls. A 5-LO inhibitor, caffeic acid (CA), suspended in 10% ethanol was orally administered to 14 rats and ethanol without CA to the remaining 12 rats daily for 21 days. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) levels were measured, both systemically and locally. 5-LO levels in the posterior capsule were quantified by measuring the ratio of the length of the posterior capsule demonstrating 5-LO immunostaining to the total length of the capsule. RESULTS Joint contracture was successfully achieved in all rats who underwent manipulation. Levels of 5- LO measured in the posterior capsule were significantly increased in the animals who underwent surgery (56%/44-64) compared to the non-surgical control animals (7%/4-9). LTB4 levels were found to be significantly lower in the non-surgical control animals (107.79 ± 34.08 pg/ml) compared to all surgical animals (157.6 ± 55.3 pg/ml). CONCLUSION Surgical intervention resulted in increased 5-LO activity of the synovial surface of the posterior capsule and increased LTB4 levels in the patellar tendon-fat pad. Oral administration of the 5LO inhibitor, CA, was ineffective at reducing systemic and local LTB4 levels and preventing knee joint contracture. Inhibiting 5-LO activity may still be effective in preventing arthrofibrosis and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Arthrofibrosis after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a significant contributor to patient dissatisfaction. While treatment algorithms involve early physical therapy and manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA), some patients ultimately require revision TKA. It is unclear whether revision TKA can consistently improve these patient's range of motion (ROM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate ROM when revision TKA was performed for arthrofibrosis. METHODS A retrospective study of 42 TKA's diagnosed with arthrofibrosis from 2013 to 2019 at a single institution with a minimum 2-year follow-up was performed. The primary outcome was ROM (flexion, extension, and total arc of motion) before and after revision TKA, and secondary outcomes included patient reported outcomes information system (PROMIS) scores. Categorical data were compared using chi-squared analysis, and paired samples t tests were performed to compare ROM at three different times: pre-primary TKA, pre-revision TKA, and post-revision TKA. A multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to assess for effect modification on total ROM. RESULTS The patient's pre-revision mean flexion was 85.6 degrees, and mean extension was 10.1 degrees. At the time of the revision, the mean age of the cohort was 64.7 years, the average body mass index (BMI) was 29.8, and 62% were female. At a mean follow-up of 4.5 years, revision TKA significantly improved terminal flexion by 18.4 degrees (p < 0.001), terminal extension by 6.8 degrees (p = 0.007), and total arc of motion by 25.2 degrees (p < 0.001). The final ROM after revision TKA was not significantly different from the patient's pre-primary TKA ROM (p = 0.759). PROMIS physical function, depression, and pain interference scores were 39 (SD = 7.72), 49 (SD = 8.39), and 62 (SD = 7.25), respectively. CONCLUSION Revision TKA for arthrofibrosis significantly improved ROM at a mean follow-up of 4.5 years with over 25 degrees of improvement in the total arc of motion, resulting in final ROM similar to pre-primary TKA ROM. PROMIS physical function and pain scores showed moderate dysfunction, while depression scores were within normal limits. While physical therapy and MUA remain the gold standard for the early treatment of stiffness after TKA, revision TKA can improve ROM. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indications for surgery may impact resource utilization in aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), and understanding these relationships would facilitate risk-stratification preoperatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of rTKA indications on readmission, reoperation, length of stay (LOS), and cost. METHODS We reviewed all 962 patients who underwent aseptic rTKA at an academic orthopedic specialty hospital between June 2011-April 2020 with at least 90 days of follow-up. Patients were categorized based on their indication for aseptic rTKA as listed in the operative report. Demographics, surgical factors, LOS, readmission, reoperation and cost were compared between cohorts. RESULTS There were significant differences in operative time among cohorts (p < 0.001), highest among the periprosthetic fracture group (164.2 ± 59.8 min). Reoperation rate was greatest in the extensor mechanism disruption cohort (50.0 %, p = 0.009). Total cost differed significantly among groups (p < 0.001), which was highest among the implant failure cohort (134.6 % of mean) and lowest for component malpositioning cohort (90.2 % of mean). Similarly, there were significant differences in direct cost (p < 0.001) which was highest in the periprosthetic fracture cohort (138.5 % of mean), and lowest in the implant failure cohort (90.5 % of mean). There were no differences in discharge disposition, or number of re-revisions among all groups. CONCLUSIONS Operative time, components revised, LOS, readmissions, reoperation rate, total cost and direct cost following aseptic rTKA varied significantly between different revision indications. These differences should be noted for preoperative planning, resource allocation, scheduling, and risk-stratification. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, retrospective observational analysis.

High Complication Rate Associated With Arthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions Versus Manipulation Under Anesthesia for Arthrofibrosis After Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2023; 31:e216-e225. [PMID: 36728979 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-22-00430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often treated by arthroscopic lysis of adhesions (ALAs) or manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). This study compared the 2-year complication rates of ALA and MUA and range-of-motion (ROM) outcomes for ALA, early MUA (<3 months after TKA), and delayed MUA (>3 months after TKA). METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 425 patients undergoing ALA or MUA after primary TKA from 2001 to 2018. Demographics, clinical variables, and complication rates were collected from clinical records and compared using Student t -tests and Kaplan-Meier log-rank tests. Multivariable logistic regressions were used for adjusted analysis. ROM data were analyzed using fixed and mixed-effects models. RESULTS ALA patients were younger (55.2 versus 58.9 years, P < 0.001) and underwent surgery later from the index TKA (12 versus 1.9 months, P < 0.001). The Charlson Comorbidity Index was higher in the MUA group. Preoperative ROM was significantly worse in the MUA cohort, but did not differ between groups after the procedure (117°, P = 0.27) or at 2 years. Demographics and ROM outcomes were equivalent between early MUA and delayed MUA ( P = 0.75). The incidence of repeat arthrofibrosis (7.1%) and revision arthroplasty (2.4%) was similar between ALA and MUA cohorts while ALA patients had significantly more surgical site infections (3.8%) compared with MUA patients (0.47%, P = 0.017). DISCUSSION Equivalent ROM outcomes were seen between ALA, early MUA, and delayed MUA for the treatment of arthrofibrosis after TKA. However, this study demonstrated a markedly higher complication rate, particularly surgical site infection, after ALA, suggesting that MUA may be the preferred option for treating arthrofibrosis at both early and late time points.

Abstract
Arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a debilitating condition typically diagnosed based on clinical findings. To gain insight into the histopathologic immune cell microenvironment of arthrofibrosis, we assessed the extent of tissue fibrosis and quantified immune cell populations in specific tissue regions of the posterior capsule. We investigated specimens from three prospectively-collected, matched cohorts, grouped as patients receiving a primary TKA for osteoarthritis, revision TKA for arthrofibrosis, and revision TKA for non-arthrofibrotic, non-infectious reasons. Specimens were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, picrosirius red staining, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry with Aperio®-based digital image analysis. Increased collagen deposition and increased number of α-SMA/ACTA2 expressing myofibroblasts were present in the arthrofibrosis group compared to the two non-arthrofibrotic groups. CD163 + macrophages were the most abundant immune cell type in any capsular sample with specific enrichment in the synovial tissue. CD163 + macrophages were significantly decreased in the fibrotic tissue region of arthrofibrosis patients compared to the patients with primary TKA, and significantly increased in adipose tissue region of arthrofibrotic specimens compared to non-arthrofibrotic specimens. Synovial CD117 + mast cells were significantly decreased in arthrofibrotic adipose tissue. Together, these findings inform diagnostic and targeted therapeutic strategies by providing insight into the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of arthrofibrosis.

The effect of losartan on range of motion and rates of manipulation in total knee arthroplasty: a retrospective matched cohort study. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022:10.1007/s00402-022-04696-8.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Arthrofibrosis remains a common cause of patient dissatisfaction and reoperation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) with inhibitory effects on transforming growth factor beta, previously implicated in tissue repair induced fibrosis, and has been studied to prevent stiffness following hip arthroscopy. This study aimed to evaluate pre- and postoperative range of motion (ROM) and the incidence of manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) following primary TKA in patients taking Losartan preoperatively for hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 170 patients from 2012 to 2020 who underwent a primary, elective TKA and were prescribed Losartan at least three months prior to surgery. All patients who were prescribed Losartan and had a preoperative and postoperative ROM in their chart were included and were matched to a control group of patients who underwent TKA and had no Losartan prescription. ROM, MUA, readmissions, reoperations, and revisions were assessed using chi-square and independent sample t tests. RESULTS Seventy-nine patients met the inclusion criteria. Preoperative ROM was similar between patients on Losartan and the control group (103.59° ± 16.14° vs. 104.59° ± 21.59°, respectively; p = 0.745). Postoperative ROM and ΔROM were greater for patients prescribed Losartan (114.29° ± 12.32° vs. 112.76° ± 11.65°; p = 0.429 and 10.57° ± 14.95° vs. 8.17° ± 21.68°; p = 0.422), though this difference did not reach statistical significance. There was no difference in readmission, rate of manipulation for stiffness, or all-cause revision rates. CONCLUSION In this study, we found that the use of Losartan did not significantly improve postoperative ROM, reduce MUA or decrease revision rates. Further prospective studies using Losartan are required to elucidate the potential effects on ROM and incidence of arthrofibrosis requiring MUA. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several cytokines and growth factors start and progress the destruction process of joint hyaline cartilage and fibrosis formation. Captopril is classified as an Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in which several studies revealed that captopril significantly decreases fibrosis formation in some organs like the liver, heart, and kidney. This study aimed to evaluate the use of captopril in reducing the possibility of arthrofibrosis and osteoarthritis in an animal model. METHOD In this in-vivo animal model study, the anterior cruciate ligament of 24 rabbits was transected to induce osteoarthritis and arthrofibrosis. The control group contained 11 rabbits and the second group consisted of 13 rabbits. The second group was treated with 10 mg/ kilogram/day captopril through a nasogastric tube. The control group was treated with normal saline in the same way. Cartilage damage and osteoarthritis were evaluated by Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scoring system. After 30 days, animals were sacrificed, and arthrofibrosis and cartilage damage were evaluated microscopically and macroscopically. RESULTS According to macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, captopril dramatically reduced arthrofibrosis formation based on visual scoring and the Masson trichrome staining system. Cartilage damage was lower in the intervention group compared to the control group. CONCLUSIONS Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor that demonstrated to significantly decreases the possibility of arthrofibrosis. Although the beneficial preventive effect of captopril on osteoarthritis was not proved statistically, better results may be obtained if the route of administration or drug dosage is changed.

Treatment of arthrofibrosis and stiffness after total knee arthroplasty: an updated review of the literature. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2022; 46:1253-1279. [PMID: 35301559 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-022-05344-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for stiffness following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). With the increased utilization of value-based models, it is important to determine the most effective treatments that will reduce the need for further intervention and additional expenditure. A systematic review was performed to compare the outcomes of manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA), arthroscopic lysis of adhesions (aLOA), and revision TKA (rTKA) for arthrofibrosis and stiffness following TKA. METHODS PubMed and MEDLINE databases were reviewed for articles published through October 2020. Studies were included if they reported patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following MUA, aLOA, or rTKA. The primary endpoint was PROMs, while secondary outcomes included range of motion and the percentage of patients who pursued further treatment for stiffness. RESULTS A total of 40 studies were included: 21 on rTKA, 7 on aLOA, and 14 on MUA. The mean or median post-operative arc ROM was > 90° in 6/20 (30%) rTKA, 5/7 (71%) aLOA, and 7/10 (70%) MUA studies. Post-operative Knee Society (KSS) clinical and functional scores were the greatest in patients who underwent MUA and aLOA. As many as 43% of rTKA patients required further care compared to 25% of aLOA and 17% of MUA patients. CONCLUSION Stiffness following TKA remains a challenging condition to treat. Nonetheless, current evidence suggests that patients who undergo rTKA have poorer clinical outcomes and a greater need for further treatment compared to patients who undergo MUA or aLOA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Arthrofibrosis is a relatively frequent complication after total knee arthroplasty. Although stiffness after total hip arthroplasty (THA), because of formation of heterotopic ossification or other causes, is not uncommon, to the authors' best knowledge, arthrofibrosis after THA has not been described. The aim of this study is to describe the arthrofibrosis of the hip after primary THA using an established clinical and histological classification of arthrofibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined all patients who were histologically confirmed to have arthrofibrosis after primary THA during revision surgery by examination of tissue samples in our clinic. Arthrofibrosis was diagnosed according to the histopathological SLIM-consensus classification, which defines seven different SLIM types of the periimplant synovial membrane. The SLIM type V determines the diagnosis of endoprosthesis-associated arthrofibrosis. RESULTS The study population consists of 66 patients who were revised due to arthrofibrosis after primary THA. All patients had a limitation in range of motion prior to revision with a mean flexion of 90° (range from 40 to 125), mean internal rotation of 10° (range from 0 to 40) and mean external rotation of 20° (range from 0 to 50). All patients had histological SLIM type V arthrofibrosis, corresponding to endoprosthesis-associated arthrofibrosis. Histological examination revealed that seven patients (10.6%) had particle-induced and 59 patients (89.4%) had non-particle-induced arthrofibrosis. CONCLUSION This is the first description of endoprosthetic-associated arthrofibrosis after primary THA on the basis of a well-established histological classification. Our study results could enable new therapeutic and diagnostic opportunities in patients with such an arthrofibrosis. Surgeons should keep arthrofibrosis as a possible cause for stiffness and pain after primary THA in mind. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, Level of Evidence IV.

Abstract
Arthrofibrosis is characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition that results in restricted joint motion after total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). Currently, treatment options are limited. Therefore, an in vitro model of knee-related myofibroblastogenesis is valuable to facilitate investigation of the arthrofibrotic process, diagnostic and therapeutic options. In this study, we obtained intraoperative posterior capsule (PC), quadriceps tendon (QT), and suprapatellar pouch (SP) tissues from the knees of four patients undergoing primary TKAs for osteoarthritis. From these tissues, we isolated primary cells by the outgrowth method and subsequently characterized these cells in the absence and presence of the pro-myofibroblastic cytokine, transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1). Light microscopy of knee outgrowth cells revealed spindle-shaped cells, and immunofluorescence (IF) analysis demonstrated staining for the fibroblast-specific markers TE-7 and vimentin (VIM). These knee outgrowth fibroblasts differentiated readily into myofibroblasts as reflected by enhanced α-smooth muscle actin (ACTA2) mRNA and protein expression and increased mRNA expression of collagen type 1 (COL1A1) and type 3 (COL3A1) with collagenous matrix deposition in the presence of TGFβ1. Outgrowth knee fibroblasts were more sensitive to TGFβ1-mediated myofibroblastogenesis than adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). While outgrowth knee fibroblasts isolated from three anatomical regions in four patients exhibited similar gene expression, these cells are distinct from other fibroblastic cell types (i.e., Dupuytren's fibroblasts) as revealed by RNA-sequencing. In conclusion, our study provides an in vitro myofibroblastic model of outgrowth knee fibroblasts derived from patients undergoing primary TKA that can be utilized to study myofibroblastogenesis and assess therapeutic strategies for arthrofibrosis.

Abstract
Die Arthrofibrose des Kniegelenks ist eine schwerwiegende Komplikation nach Trauma und Operation, da die Funktion des Gelenks häufig dauerhaft beeinträchtigt wird. Es werden nach wie vor frühzeitige Mobilisierungstechniken und die Anästhesie eingesetzt, ohne dass die zugrunde liegenden Prozesse ausreichend aufgeklärt wurden. Während die Frühphase der Arthrofibrose gut auf konservative Maßnahmen zur Schmerzreduktion und zur Wundheilungsregulation anspricht, ist in der Spätphase häufig straffes kollagenes Narbengewebe vorhanden, das die Beweglichkeit dauerhaft einschränkt. In dieser Phase ist eine Verbesserung der Beweglichkeit ohne chirurgische Maßnahmen in der Mehrzahl der Fälle aussichtslos. Bei einer chirurgischen Therapie sollte zwischen der lokalisierten (zumeist sekundären) Arthrofibrose (z. B. Kreuzbandoperation) und einer generalisierten Arthrofibrose (primär, in der Mehrzahl der Fälle nach einer Knietotalendoprothese [Knie-TEP]) unterschieden und die Behandlung entsprechend geplant werden. Begleitende pathologische Veränderungen (Transplantatposition, Instabilität der TEP, Implantatverschleiß, „Low-grade“-Infektion, patellofemorale Instabilität oder „maltracking“, Patella baja) müssen bei der Behandlung berücksichtigt werden. Eine multimodale Begleitbehandlung (Physiotherapie, Schmerztherapie, Psychosomatik) ist zur Sicherung des Behandlungserfolgs notwendig.

Abstract
The importance of a local tissue immune response in healing injured tissues such as skin and lung is well established. Little is known about whether sterile wounds elicit lymph node (LN) responses and inflammatory responses after injury of musculoskeletal tissues that are mechanically loaded during the repair response. We investigated LN and tissue immune responses in a tibial implant model of joint replacement surgery where wounded tissue is subjected to movement and mechanical loading postoperatively. Draining inguinal and iliac LNs expanded postoperatively, including increases in regulatory T cells and activation of a subset of T cells. Thus, tissue injury was actively sensed in secondary lymphoid organs, with the potential to activate adaptive immunity. Joint tissues exhibited three temporally distinct immune response components, including a novel interferon (IFN) response with activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) pathways. Fibrovascular tissue formation was not associated with a macrophage type 2 (M2) reparative immune response, but instead with delayed induction of interleukin-1 family (IL-1β, IL-33, IL-36), IL-17, and prostaglandin pathway genes concomitant with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and growth factor signaling, fibroblast activation, and tissue formation. Tissue remodeling was associated with activity of the HOX antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) pathway. These results provide insights into immune responses and regulation of tissue healing after knee arthroplasty that potentially can be used to develop therapeutic strategies to improve healing, prevent arthrofibrosis, and improve surgical outcomes. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

[PMID: 33879331 PMCID: PMC8292170 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.03.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired idiopathic stiffness (AIS) remains a common failure mode of contemporary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). The present study investigated the incidence of AIS and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) at a single institution over time, determined outcomes of MUAs, and identified risk factors associated with AIS and MUA. METHODS We identified 9771 patients (12,735 knees) who underwent primary TKAs with cemented, modular metal-backed, posterior-stabilized implants from 2000 to 2016 using our institutional total joint registry. Mean age was 68 years, 57% were female, and mean body mass index was 33 kg/m2. Demographic, surgical, and comorbidity data were investigated via univariate Cox proportional hazard models and fit to an adjusted multivariate model to access risk for AIS and MUA. Mean follow-up was 7 years. RESULTS During the study period, 456 knees (3.6%) developed AIS and 336 knees (2.6%) underwent MUA. Range of motion (ROM) increased a mean of 34° after the MUA; however, ROM for patients treated with MUA was inferior to patients without AIS at final follow-up (102° vs 116°, P < .0001). Significant risk factors included younger age (HR 2.3, P < .001), increased tourniquet time (HR 1.01, P < .001), general anesthesia (HR 1.3, P = .007), and diabetes (HR 1.5, P = .001). CONCLUSION Acquired idiopathic stiffness has continued to have an important adverse impact on the outcomes of a subset of patients undergoing primary TKAs. When utilized, MUA improved mean ROM by 34°, but patients treated with MUA still had decreased ROM compared to patients without AIS. Importantly, we identified several significant risk factors associated with AIS and subsequent MUA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Background Arthrofibrosis is a debilitating complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) which becomes a considerable burden for both patients and clinical practitioners. Our study aimed to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for drug discovery. Methods Potential biomarker genes were identified based on bioinformatic analysis. Twelve male New Zealand white rabbits underwent surgical fixation of unilateral knees to mimics the joint immobilization of the clinical scenario after TKA surgery. Macroscopic assessment, hydroxyproline content determination, and histological analysis of tissue were performed separately after 3-days, 1-week, 2-weeks, and 4-weeks of fixation. We also enrolled 46 arthrofibrosis patients and 92 controls to test the biomarkers. Clinical information such as sex, age, range of motion (ROM), and visual analogue scale (VAS) was collected by experienced surgeons Findings Base on bioinformatic analysis, transforming growth factor-beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1) was identified as the potential biomarkers. The level of TGFBR1 was significantly raised in the rabbit synovial tissue after 4-weeks of fixation (p<0.05). TGFBR1 also displayed a highly positive correlation with ROM loss and hydroxyproline contents in the animal model. TGFBR1 showed a significantly higher expression level in arthrofibrosis patients with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under curve (AUC) of 0.838. TGFBR1 also performed positive correlations with VAS baseline (0.83) and VAS after 1 year (0.76) while negatively correlated with ROM baseline (-0.76) in clinical patients. Interpretation Our findings provided novel biomarkers for arthrofibrosis diagnosis and uncovered the role of TGFBR1. This may contribute to arthrofibrosis prevention and therapeutic drug discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis remains one of the leading causes for revision in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Similar in nature to arthrofibrosis, hypertrophic scars and keloid formation are a result of excessive collagen formation. There is paucity in the literature on whether there is an association between keloid formation and the development of arthrofibrosis following TKA. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to utilize a large nationwide database to identify and compare the rates of postoperative complications related to arthrofibrosis after primary TKA in patients with history of hypertrophic scar and keloid disorders versus those without. METHODS Patient records from 2010 to the second quarter of 2016 were queried from an administrative claims database, comparing rates of arthrofibrosis, manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), lysis of adhesions (LOA), and revision TKA in patients with chart diagnosis of keloids versus those without in patients who underwent primary TKA. Data analysis was performed using R statistical software (R Project for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) utilizing multivariate logistic regression, chi square analysis, or Welch's t- test where appropriate with p values < 0.05 being considered statistically significant. RESULTS Of 545,875 primary TKAs, 11,461 (2.1%) had a keloid diagnosis at any time point in their record, while 534,414 (97.9%) had not. Patients in the keloid cohort had a significantly higher association with ankylosis within 30 days (OR, 1.7), 90 days (OR, 1.2), 6 months (OR, 1.2), and 1 year (OR, 1.3) following primary TKA. The keloid cohort also had a significantly greater risk of MUA (90-day OR, 1.1; 6-month OR, 1.1; 1-year OR, 1.2) and LOA (90-day OR, 2.2; 6-month OR, 2.0; 1-year OR, 1.9). CONCLUSION Patients with keloids have increased odds risk of arthrofibrosis following primary TKA. These patients are subsequently at a higher odds risk of undergoing the procedures necessary to treat arthrofibrosis, such as MUA and LOA. Future studies investigating confounding factors such as race, prior surgery, range of motion, and postoperative recovery are needed to confirm the association of keloid diagnosis and arthrofibrosis following primary TKA demonstrated in this study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to determine incidence of lysis of adhesion (LOA) for postoperative arthrofibrosis following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), patient factors associated with LOA, and impact of LOA on revision TKA. METHODS Patients who underwent primary TKA were identified in the Humana and Medicare databases. Patients who underwent LOA within 1 year after TKA were defined as the "LOA" cohort. Multiple binomial logistic regression analyses were performed to identify patient factors associated with undergoing LOA within 1 year after index TKA, and identify risk factors including LOA on risk for revision TKA within 2 years of index TKA. RESULTS In total, 58,538 and 48,336 patients underwent primary TKA in the Medicare and Humana databases, respectively. Incidence of LOA within 1 year after TKA was 0.56% in both databases. Age <75 years was a significant predictor of LOA in both databases (P < .05 for both). Incidence of revision TKA was significantly higher for the "LOA" cohort when compared to the "TKA Only" cohort in both databases (P < .0001 for both). LOA was the strongest predictor of revision TKA within 2 years after index TKA in both databases (P < .0001 for both). Additionally, age <65 years, male gender, obesity, fibromyalgia, smoking, alcohol abuse, and history of anxiety or depression were independently associated with increased odds of revision TKA within 2 years after index TKA (P < .05 for all). CONCLUSION Incidence of LOA after primary TKA is low, with younger age being the strongest predictor for requiring LOA. Patients who undergo LOA for arthrofibrosis within 1 year after primary TKA have a substantially high risk for subsequent early revision TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, Retrospective Cohort Study.

Abstract
Particles released from implants cause inflammatory bone loss, which is a key factor in aseptic loosening, the most common reason for joint replacement failure. With the anticipated increased incidence of total joint replacement in the next decade, implant failure will continue to burden patients. The gut microbiome is increasingly recognized as an important factor in bone physiology, however, its role in implant loosening is currently unknown. We tested the hypothesis that implant loosening is associated with changes in the gut microbiota in a preclinical model. When the particle challenge caused local joint inflammation, decreased peri-implant bone volume, and decreased implant fixation, the gut microbiota was affected. When the particle challenge did not cause this triad of local effects, the gut microbiota was not affected. Our results suggest that cross-talk between these compartments is a previously unrecognized mechanism of failure following total joint replacement.

Abstract
Arthrofibrosis is an abnormal histopathologic response, is debilitating for patients, and poses a substantial unsolved clinical challenge. This study characterizes molecular biomarkers and regulatory pathways associated with arthrofibrosis by comparing fibrotic and non-fibrotic human knee tissue. The fibrotic group encompasses 4 patients undergoing a revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for arthrofibrosis (RTKA-A) while the non-fibrotic group includes 4 patients undergoing primary TKA for osteoarthritis (PTKA) and 4 patients undergoing revision TKA for non-arthrofibrotic and non-infectious etiologies (RTKA-NA). RNA-sequencing of posterior capsule specimens revealed differences in gene expression between each patient group by hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis, and correlation analyses. Multiple differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were defined in RTKA-A versus PTKA patients (i.e., 2059 up-regulated and 1795 down-regulated genes) and RTKA-A versus RTKA-NA patients (i.e., 3255 up-regulated and 3683 down-regulated genes). Our findings define molecular and pathological markers of arthrofibrosis, as well as novel potential targets for risk profiling, early diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of literature on contemporary aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty in patients ≤50 years. We sought to determine risk factors for failure in this population, with specific emphasis on survivorship free of (1) all-cause re-revision and (2) re-revision for instability. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 135 nononcologic revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed from 2000 to 2012 in patients ≤50 years. Mean age was 43 years, and mean body mass index was 31 kg/m2. Mean follow-up was 7 years. There were 99 (73%) first-time revisions, and 36 (27%) with prior revisions. Indications for revision included instability (47%), aseptic loosening (29%), and arthrofibrosis (9%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors. RESULTS Survivorship free of all-cause re-revision was 66% at 10 years, with multiply revised TKAs (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.6, P = .008) having the poorest survivorship. Forty-three (32%) TKAs underwent re-revision including 10 (7%) for periprosthetic joint infection. Survivorship free of re-revision for instability was 88% at 10 years, with revision for instability (HR = 19, P = .03), male gender (HR = 3.0, P = .05), and multiply revised TKAs (HR = 3.5, P = .03) having poorer survival. Of the 64 TKAs revised for instability, 24 (38%) underwent re-revision, including 14 (22%) for recurrent instability. CONCLUSION Patients ≤50 years undergoing contemporary aseptic revision TKA had a 1 in 3 risk of re-revision. Patients specifically revised for instability or had prior TKA revisions had the highest risk of re-revision at 10 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for arthrofibrosis is fraught with challenges. Because rotating-hinge (RH) prostheses do not rely on ligaments for stability, a more aggressive soft-tissue release is possible. The goal of this study was to report arc of motion, Knee Society scores, and implant survivorship in patients with arthrofibrosis revised with an RH. METHODS Thirty-four patients revised with an RH for arthrofibrosis were matched to 68 patients revised without an RH. The mean age was 63 years, 62% were female, mean body mass index was 31 kg/m2, and mean follow-up was 6 years (range, 2-15 years). RESULTS The mean arc of motion increased 20° (74°-94°) in the RH group versus 12° (87°-99°) in the non-RH group (P = .048). Two manipulations under anesthesia were performed in the RH group compared to 9 in the non-RH group (P = .2). Knee Society scores increased significantly in both groups (P = .01 and P < .001, respectively). Survivorship free of revision for aseptic loosening at 10 years was 83% in the RH group versus 96% in the non-RH group (P = .44). Survivorship free of any revision at 10 years was 54% in the RH group and 90% in the non-RH group (P = .03). Forty percent of the revisions in the RH group were related to insert and bushing exchanges. CONCLUSION In this series, patients with arthrofibrosis revised to an RH TKA had a 20° improvement in arc of motion and manipulations under anesthesia were half as common. However, there was a higher risk of re-revision in the RH group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical rehabilitation is required to enhance functional outcomes and overall recovery following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there are no universally accepted clinical guidelines available to consistently structure rehabilitation for TKA patients. A common method is rehabilitation provided in an outpatient setting, on a one-to-one treatment basis. This method is resource-intensive and outcomes must be compared to less costly alternatives such as home-based rehabilitation. The current study will analyse a novel home-based rehabilitation program. The Maxm skate is a portable, lower-limb, postoperative, rehabilitation exercise device for individual use in a hospital or home-based setting. This study was developed to compare the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Maxm Skate rehabilitation program to standard rehabilitative care following TKA. The primary outcome is the range of motion (ROM) achieved by patients who received the Maxm Skate program compared to standard care at three months post TKA. Secondary outcomes include patient-reported outcomes, costs and functional evaluations which will be collected at multiple time-points up to 12 months after TKA. METHODS This is a single-blinded, randomised controlled trial (RCT) in which 116 eligible participants consented for primary TKA will be randomly allocated to receive either the Maxm Skate rehabilitation program or standard rehabilitative care. Fifty-eight participants per group will provide 90% power (α = 0.05) to detect 10° of difference in ROM between groups at three months after TKA, assuming a within-group standard deviation of 16° and allowing for 5% loss to follow-up. Participants randomised to the Maxm Skate group will use the skate device and accompanying iOS App and sensors to complete rehabilitation exercises, as outlined in the Maxm Skate Rehabilitation Guide. Outcomes will be compared to those receiving standard rehabilitative care. A blinded physiotherapist will evaluate functional outcomes preoperatively and at 2, 4, 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks after TKA. The functional assessment will include measures of knee ROM, pain, isometric knee strength, balance and knee/thigh circumference. Limited measures will also be assessed at day 2 postoperatively by an alternate, unblinded physiotherapist. Clinical outcome measures will be administered preoperatively and at 6, 12 and 52 weeks postoperatively. An economic evaluation will be conducted and participants will be screened for adverse event occurrences from the time of consent to 12 months postoperatively. DISCUSSION This RCT will be the first to investigate the safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the home-based Maxm Skate Rehabilitation program, in comparison to standard rehabilitative care following primary TKA.
