Abstract
Background There are conflicting reports in the literature regarding the risk of revision after primary total knee replacement (TKR) in obese patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate if body mass index (BMI) influences the risk of revision 3-9 years after primary TKR. Methods All patients undergoing a primary TKR in our institution from 2014 to 2018 were included in a retrospective study. The effect of BMI on all-cause revision was estimated in a logistic regression analysis. A directed acyclic graph was created to identify variables affecting the primary endpoint (revision). According to the directed acyclic graph, adjustment was only needed for age and smoking. However, we also included variables thought to influence the revision risk based on clinical experience and previous research. The final logistic regression analysis was therefore adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, diabetes mellitus and the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. Results One thousand fifty-nine primary TKR patients with a mean age of 68.1 (standard deviation 9.4) years were included. There were 609 (57.5%) women, and the median follow-up time was 5.6 (range 3.0-9.0) years. There were 41 (3.9%) revisions. BMI did not affect the risk of revision when adjusted for relevant covariates in a multivariate logistic regression analysis (odds ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.93-1.05, P = .6). Conclusions BMI did not influence the risk of revision rate 3-9 years after TKR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) impacts risk for revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), but the relationship between BMI and cause for revision remains unclear. We hypothesized that patients in different BMI classes would have disparate risk for causes of rTKA. METHODS There were 171,856 patients who underwent rTKA from 2006 to 2020 from a national database. Patients were classified as underweight (BMI < 19), normal-weight, overweight/obese (BMI 25 to 39.9), or morbidly obese (BMI > 40). Multivariable logistic regressions adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, payer status, hospital geographic setting, and comorbidities were used to examine the effect of BMI on risk for different rTKA causes. RESULTS Compared to normal-weight controls, underweight patients were 62% less likely to undergo revision due to aseptic loosening, 40% less likely due to mechanical complications, 187% more likely due to periprosthetic fracture, 135% more likely due to periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Overweight/obese patients were 25% more likely to undergo revision due to aseptic loosening, 9% more likely due to mechanical complications, 17% less likely due to periprosthetic fracture, and 24% less likely due to PJI. Morbidly obese patients were 20% more likely to undergo revision due to aseptic loosening, 5% more likely due to mechanical complications, and 6% less likely due to PJI. CONCLUSION Mechanical reasons were more likely to be the cause of rTKA in overweight/obese and morbidly obese patients, compared to underweight patients, for whom revision was more likely to be infection or fracture related. Increased awareness of these differences may promote patient-specific management to reduce complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to analyse the safety of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA) surgery by comparing morbidly obese (MO) patients with obese patients. METHODS SBTKA was performed to 494 patients by a single surgeon in a single center between 2014-2020. The patients followed for a mean of 26 months. They were divided into two groups according to body mass index (BMI) as MO (BMI> 40 kg/m2, n = 65) and obese(O) (BMI = 30-39.9 kg/m2, n = 429 patients). The groups were compared in terms of wound healing problems (WHP), mobilization time (MT), operation time (OT), prosthesis infection, aseptic loosening (AL), early complications, revision, and length of hospitalization using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis revealed significant differences in the clinical outcomes and complications between MO and O patients. Parameters such as length of stay, OT, MT, WHP, debridement, medial retinaculum detachment (MRD) and AL, and short-term complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI), and pulmonary embolism (PE) incidence were significantly higher in the MO group. Among the MO patients, the clinical outcomes were worse than those among the O patients, and the complication incidence was higher. CONCLUSION We do not find SBTKA surgery feasible in morbidly obese patients due to the high complication rate and unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. We suggest that the patient's request to undergo SBTKA should not be taken into account, and that staged surgery be preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity have a higher risk of complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We investigated the change in weight 1 and 2 years post-Bariatric Surgery (BS) in patients that had undergone both TKA and BS as well as the risk of revision after TKA based on if BS was performed before or after the TKA. METHODS Patients who had undergone BS within 2 years before or after TKA were identified from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register (SOReg) and the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) between 2007 and 2019 and 2009 and 2020, respectively. The cohort was divided into two groups; patients who underwent TKA before BS (TKA-BS) and patients who underwent BS before TKA (BS-TKA). Multilinear regression analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze weight change after BS and the risk of revision after TKA. RESULTS Of the 584 patients included in the study, 119 patients underwent TKA before BS and 465 underwent BS before TKA. No association was detected between the sequence of surgery and total weight loss 1 and 2 years post-BS, - 0.1 (95% confidence interval (CI), - 1.7 to 1.5) and - 1.2 (95% CI, - 5.2 to 2.9), or the risk of revision after TKA [hazard ratio 1.54 (95% CI 0.5-4.5)]. CONCLUSION The sequence of surgery in patients undergoing both BS and TKA does not appear to be associated with weight loss after BS or the risk of revision after TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the past decades, the incidence of obesity has increased worldwide. This disease is often accompanied with several comorbidities and therefore, surgeons and anesthesiologists should be prepared to provide optimal management for these patients. The aim of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to map the criteria and routines that are used by Swedish knee arthroplasty surgeons today when considering patients with obesity for knee arthroplasty. METHODS A survey including 21 items was created and sent to all the Swedish centers performing knee arthroplasty. The survey included questions about the surgeons' experience, hospital routines of preoperative information given and the surgeons' individual assessment of patients with obesity that candidates for knee arthroplasty. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data. RESULTS A total of 203 (64%) knee surgeons responded to the questionnaire. Almost 90% of the surgeons claimed to inform their patients with obesity that obesity has been associated with an increased risk of complications after knee arthroplasty. Seventy-nine percent reported that they had an upper BMI limit to perform knee arthroplasty, a larger proportion of the private centers had a BMI limit compared to public centers. The majority of the centers had an upper BMI limit of 35. CONCLUSION The majority of the knee arthroplasty surgeons in Sweden inform their patients with obesity regarding risks associated with knee arthroplasty. Most centers that perform knee arthroplasties in Sweden have an upper BMI limit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of obesity with all-cause revision and revision for infection, loosening, instability, and pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed in Australia. METHODS Data for patients undergoing primary TKA for osteoarthritis from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2020, were obtained from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR). The rates of all-cause revision and revision for infection, loosening, instability, and pain were compared for non-obese patients (body mass index [BMI], 18.50 to 29.99 kg/m 2 ), class-I and II obese patients (BMI, 30.00 to 39.99 kg/m 2 ), and class-III obese patients (BMI, ≥40.00 kg/m 2 ). The results were adjusted for age, sex, tibial fixation, prosthesis stability, patellar component usage, and computer navigation usage. RESULTS During the study period, 141,673 patients underwent primary TKA for osteoarthritis in Australia; of these patients, 48.0% were class-I or II obese, and 10.6% were class-III obese. The mean age was 68.2 years, and 54.7% of patients were female. The mean follow-up period was 2.8 years. Of the 2,655 revision procedures identified, the reasons for the procedures included infection in 39.7%, loosening in 14.8%, instability in 12.0%, and pain in 6.1%. Class-I and II obese patients had a higher risk of all-cause revision (hazard ratio [HR], 1.12 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.03 to 1.22]; p = 0.007) and revision for infection (HR, 1.25 [95% CI, 1.10 to 1.43]; p = 0.001) than non-obese patients. Class-III obese patients had a higher risk of all-cause revision after 1 year (HR, 1.30 [95% CI, 1.14 to 1.52]; p < 0.001), revision for infection after 3 months (HR, 1.72 [95% CI, 1.33 to 2.17]; p < 0.001), and revision for loosening (HR, 1.39 [95% CI, 1.00 to 1.89]; p = 0.047) than non-obese patients. The risks of revision for instability and pain were similar among groups. CONCLUSIONS Obese patients with knee osteoarthritis should be counseled with regard to the increased risks associated with TKA, so they can make informed decisions about their health care. Health services and policymakers need to address the issue of obesity at a population level. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic Level III .

Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis has been suggested for patients who underwent total join arthroplasty (TJA). However, the morbidity of surgical site complications (SSC) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) has not been well evaluated. We aimed to evaluate the impact of VTE prophylaxis on the risk of early postoperative SSC and PJI in a Taiwanese population. We retrospectively reviewed 7511 patients who underwent primary TJA performed by a single surgeon from 2010 through 2019. We evaluated the rates of SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period (30-day, 90-day) as well as 1-year reoperations. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify possible risk factors associated with SSC and PJI, including age, sex, WHO classification of weight status, smoking, diabetes mellitus (DM), rheumatoid arthritis(RA), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), history of VTE, presence of varicose veins, total knee or hip arthroplasty procedure, unilateral or bilateral procedure, or receiving VTE prophylaxis or blood transfusion. The overall 90-day rates of SSC and PJI were 1.1% (N = 80) and 0.2% (N = 16). VTE prophylaxis was a risk factor for 90-day readmission for SSC (aOR: 1.753, 95% CI 1.081-2.842), 90-day readmission for PJI (aOR: 3.267, 95% CI 1.026-10.402) and all 90-day PJI events (aOR: 3.222, 95% CI 1.200-8.656). Other risk factors included DM, underweight, obesity, bilateral TJA procedure, younger age, male sex and RA. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis appears to be a modifiable risk factor for SSC and PJI in the early postoperative period. The increased infection risk should be carefully weighed in patients who received pharmacological VTE prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prevalence of knee joint replacements (KJR) has been less investigated in situations where the increase in incidence is known. This study investigated the annual and population-based prevalence of KJR and the relationship between the prevalence of KJRs and the incidence of revision surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS All KJRs performed between 1980 and 2020 were identified from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register (FAR). KJR revisions and removals were extracted from the FAR and hospital discharge registers and patient deaths from Finnish Digital and Population Data Services Agency. We analyzed the annual prevalence by dividing the number of KJR survivors by the population aged 40 or older. The revision burden factor (RBF) was determined by dividing the annual number of revisions by the number of primary and revision KJRs in the population. Proportions of bilateral implants and patients with older KJRs performed 10 or more years earlier were identified. RESULTS KJR prevalence in Finland increased by 298% between 2000 and 2020, reaching 4.0% in 2020. The proportion of patients with bilateral KJRs and those with older KJRs had increased to 37% and 34%, respectively, by 2020. The annual RBF decreased statistically significantly from 1.9% to 0.7% between 1996 and 2020 (proportion ratio, PR 0.37 [95% CI 0.33-0.42]) and was higher among males (PR 1.23 [CI 1.20-1.26]). INTERPRETATION Although the recent rapid increase in KJRs is abating and the RBF is diminishing, it is important to take the continuing increase in the prevalence of KJRs into account when assessing hospitals' future resources.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Obesity is a considerable medical challenge in society. We investigated the risk of revision for any reasons and for infection in patients having total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis (OA) within 2 years after bariatric surgery (BS) and compared them with TKAs without BS.Patients and methods - We used the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) and the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) to identify patients operated on in 2009-2019 with BS who had had primary TKA for OA within 2 years after the BS (BS group) and compared them with TKAs without prior BS (noBS group). We determined adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for the BS group and noBS group using Cox proportional hazard regression for revision due to any reasons and for infection. Adjustments were made for sex, age groups, and BMI categories preoperatively.Results - 441 patients were included in the BS group. The risk of revision for infection was higher for the BS group with HR 2.2 (95% CI 1.1-4.7) adjusting for BMI before the TKA, while the risk of revision for any reasons was not statistically significant different for the BS group with HR 1.3 (CI 0.9-2.1). Corresponding figures when adjusting for BMI before the BS were HR 0.9 (CI 0.4-2) and HR 1.2 (CI 0.7-2).Interpretation - Our findings did not indicate that BS prior to TKA was associated with lower risk of revision.
