Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in teenagers is generally avoided. Nevertheless, recent THA procedures in a very young patient show improved functional outcomes and implant survival, resulting in lower revision rates. This review aims to present an overview of the available literature on THA in teenagers and to provide evidence to inform caregivers. METHODS In this systematic review, studies required a primary THA method and a teenage patient population. Studies must report at least one of the following outcome measures: functional outcomes, implant survival, and complications. In addition, demographic and surgical data were collected. RESULTS Sixteen studies were analyzed, including 2040 patients and 2379 hips, with an average 7.7-year follow-up. The mean patient age was 18 years, with an average revision rate of 11.7%. The overall average relative improvement of the 2 most frequently used patient-reported (functional) outcome measures were 84.3 and 92.3% at the latest follow-up. Prosthesis, or liner loosening, was the cause of revision in 50.2% of the cases. Loosening was the most frequent complication (14.8%), together with prosthesis/liner wear (14.8%). Cementless fixation (70.7%), ceramic-on-ceramic articulation (34.7%), and the posterior surgical approach (82.3%) were the most applied techniques. CONCLUSIONS The functional outcomes after THA in teenagers improved at follow-up. The average revision rate is relatively high, especially in the pre-1995 studies, with post-1995 studies reporting similar revision rates to the adult patient group. Research to further improve implant survival as well as the ease of revisions in teenagers is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III-systematic review.

Abstract
PURPOSE The literature presents a wide range of success rates for a single surgical intervention of bacterial-septic-arthritis, and there is a lack of clear criteria for identifying treatment failure and making decisions about reintervention. This Delphi study aims to establish a consensus among an international panel of experts regarding the definition of treatment failure and the criteria for reintervention in case of bacterial arthritis. METHODS The conducting and reporting Delphi studies (CREDES) criteria were used. Data from a systematic review was provided as the basis for the study. A list of 100 potential experts were identified. The study was designed and conducted as follows: (I) identification and invitation of an expert panel, (II) informing the participating expert panel on the research question and subject, and (III) conducting two or three Delphi rounds to reach consensus on explicit research items. Potential criteria were rated on a five-point Likert scale. RESULTS Sixty orthopaedic experts from nine countries participated in this Delphi study, with 55 completing all three rounds. The mean experience as an orthopaedic surgeon was 15 years (SD ± 9). Strong (96%) consensus was reached on the definition of treatment failure: the persistence of physical signs of arthritis (e.g., pain and swelling) and/or systemic inflammation (e.g., fever and no improvement in CRP) despite surgical and antibiotic treatment. Furthermore, consensus (>80%) was reached on six criteria influencing the decision for reintervention; pain (81%), sepsis (98%), fever (88%), serum CRP (93%), blood culture (82%), and synovial fluid culture (84%). CONCLUSION The definition of treatment failure for bacterial arthritis after a single surgical intervention was established through a three-round Delphi study. Additionally, consensus was reached on six criteria that are helpful for determining the need for reintervention. This definition and these criteria may help in the development of clinical guidelines, and will empower physicians to make more precise and consistent decisions regarding reintervention for patients, ultimately aiming to reduce over- and undertreatment and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
CT imaging under external valgus and varus loading conditions and consecutive image analysis can be used to detect tibial implant loosening after total knee arthroplasty. However, the applied load causes the tibia to deform, which could result in an overestimation of implant displacement. This research evaluates the extent of tibia deformation and its effect on measuring implant displacement. Ten cadaver specimen with TKA were CT-scanned under valgus/varus loading (20 Nm), first implanted without bone cement fixation (mimicking a loose implant) and subsequently with bone cement fixation (mimicking a fixed implant). By means of image analysis, three relative displacements were assessed: (1) between the proximal and distal tibia (measure of deformation), (2) between the implant and the whole tibia (including potential deformation effect) and (3) between the implant and the proximal tibia (reduced deformation effect). Relative displacements were quantified in terms of translations along, and rotations about the axes of a local coordinate system. As a measure of deformation, the proximal tibia moved relative to the distal tibia by, on average 1.27 mm (± 0.50 mm) and 0.64° (± 0.25°). Deformation caused an overestimation of implant displacement in the cemented implant. The implant displaced with respect to the whole tibia by 0.45 mm (± 0.22 mm) and 0.79° (± 0.38°). Relative to the proximal tibia, the implant moved by 0.23 mm (± 0.10 mm) and 0.62° (± 0.34°). The differentiation between loose and fixed implants improved when tibia deformation was compensated for by using the proximal tibia rather than the whole tibia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether preoperative expectations regarding performing work-related knee-straining activities were associated with being dissatisfied 6 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among working patients, and, to identify prognostic factors for being dissatisfied with performing these work-related knee-straining activities. DESIGN Multicenter prospective cohort study. SETTING Orthopedic surgery departments of 7 hospitals in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS A consecutive sample of 175 working patients who were on the waiting list for TKA (median age 59 years, 53% women) and intended to return to work (N=175). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Dissatisfaction with performing work-related knee-straining activities 6 months postoperative was measured using the Work Osteoarthritis or joint-Replacement Questionnaire (score range 0-100). The clinically relevant cut-off points for being satisfied and dissatisfied were ≥71 and ≤50, respectively. RESULTS Thirty-three patients (19%) were dissatisfied with performing work-related knee-straining activities 6 months after TKA. Patients who expected to be dissatisfied preoperative had a 5.1 times higher odds (95% CI 1.7-15.5) of being dissatisfied 6 months postoperatively compared with patients who expected to be satisfied preoperative. Regression analyses revealed that only patients' expectations were prognostic for being dissatisfied 6 months postoperatively rather than age, pain level, or having a knee-straining job. CONCLUSIONS Two in 10 working patients are dissatisfied with performing work-related knee-straining activities 6 months after TKA. Only preoperative patients' expectations appeared prognostic. Therefore, we should better prepare working patients with low expectations by managing their preoperative expectations and improving their performance of work-related knee-straining activities in rehabilitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most adult cases of bacterial-septic-arthritis of a native joint are effectively managed with a single surgical debridement, but some cases may require more than one debridement to control the infection. Consequently, this study assessed the failure rate of a single surgical debridement in adults with bacterial arthritis of a native joint. Additionally, risk factors for failure were assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021243460) before data collection and conducted in line with the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses' (PRISMA) guidelines. Multiple libraries were systematically searched to identify articles including patients reporting on the incidence of failure (i.e. persistence of infection requiring reoperation) of the treatment of bacterial arthritis. The quality of individual evidence were assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Failure rates were extracted from included studies and pooled. Risk factors for failure were extracted and grouped. Moreover, we evaluated which risk factors were significantly associated with failure. RESULTS Thirty studies (8,586 native joints) were included in the final analysis. The overall pooled failure rate was 26% (95% CI 20 to 32%). The failure rate of arthroscopy and arthrotomy was 26% (95% CI 19 to 34%) and 24% (95% CI 17 to 33%), respectively. Seventy-nine potential risk factors were extracted and grouped. Moderate evidence was found for one risk factor (synovial white blood cell count), and limited evidence was found for five risk factors (i.e. sepsis, large joint infection, the volume of irrigation, blood urea nitrogen-test, and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio). CONCLUSION A single surgical debridement fails to control bacterial arthritis of a native joint in approximately a quarter of all adult cases. Limited to moderate evidence exists that risk factors associated with failure are: synovial white blood cell count, sepsis, large joint infection, and the volume of irrigation. These factors should urge physicians to be especially receptive to signs of an adverse clinical course.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate whether total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients who consulted an occupational medicine specialist (OMS) within 3 months after surgery, return to work (RTW) earlier than patients who did not consult an OMS. METHODS A multi-center prospective cohort study was performed among working TKA patients, aged 18 to 65 years and intending to RTW. Time to RTW was analyzed using Kaplan Meier and Mann Whitney U (MWU), and multiple linear regression analysis was used to adjust for effect modification and confounding. RESULTS One hundred and eighty-two (182) patients were included with a median age of 59 years [IQR 54-62], including 95 women (52%). Patients who consulted an OMS were less often self-employed but did not differ on other patient and work-related characteristics. TKA patients who consulted an OMS returned to work later than those who did not (median 78 versus 62 days, MWU p < 0.01). The effect of consulting an OMS on time to RTW was modified by patients' expectations in linear regression analysis (p = 0.05). A median decrease in time of 24 days was found in TKA patients with preoperative high expectations not consulting an OMS (p = 0.03), not in patients with low expectations. CONCLUSIONS Consulting an OMS within 3 months after surgery did not result in a decrease in time to RTW in TKA patients. TKA patients with high expectations did RTW earlier without consulting an OMS. Intervention studies on how OMSs can positively influence a timely RTW, incorporating patients' preoperative expectations, are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After total knee arthroplasty up to 13% requires revision surgery to address loosening. No current diagnostic modalities have a sensitivity or specificity higher than 70-80% to detect loosening, leading to 20-30% of patients undergoing unnecessary, risky and expensive revision surgery. A reliable imaging modality is required to diagnose loosening. This study presents a new and non-invasive method and evaluates its reproducibility and reliability in a cadaveric study. METHODS Ten cadaveric specimens were implanted with a loosely fitted tibial components and CT scanned under load towards valgus and varus using a loading device. Advanced three-dimensional imaging software was used to quantify displacement. Subsequently, the implants were fixed to the bone and scanned to determine the differences between the fixed and the loose state. Reproducibility errors were quantified using a frozen specimen in which displacement was absent. FINDINGS Reproducibility errors, expressed as mean target registration error, screw-axis rotation and maximum total point motion were 0.073 mm (SD 0.033), 0.129 degrees (SD 0.039) and 0.116 mm (SD 0.031), respectively. In the loose condition, all displacements and rotation changes were larger than the reported reproducibility errors. Comparing the mean target registration error, screw axis rotation and maximum total point motion in the loose condition to the fixed condition resulted in mean differences of 0.463 mm (SD 0.279; p = 0.001), 1.769 degrees (SD 0.868; p < 0.001) and 1.339 mm (SD 0.712; p < 0.001), respectively. INTERPRETATION The results of this cadaveric study show that this non-invasive method is reproducible and reliable for detection of displacement differences between fixed and loose tibial components.

Abstract
Suspected bacterial arthritis of a native joint requires urgent management to control potential life-threatening sepsis and limit cartilage damage. Diagnosing bacterial arthritis is often challenging and relies on diagnostic tests with low accuracy. A high threshold for surgery poses a risk of undertreatment, whereas a low threshold for surgery could lead to overtreatment with unnecessary invasive and costly procedures. Surgical lavage through arthroscopy or arthrotomy is generally considered standard treatment. Nowadays, needle arthroscopy provides an alternative and potentially less-invasive approach that can safely lower the surgical threshold. Needle arthroscopy can be performed directly upon presentation at the patient's bedside, as it is well tolerated under local anesthesia. Therefore, this Technical Note presents a stepwise guideline for performing standardized needle arthroscopic lavage in patients with (suspected) bacterial arthritis of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of needle arthroscopy for management of suspected bacterial arthritis in native joints. METHODS During a pilot period, patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of native joint bacterial arthritis were eligible for initial management with needle arthroscopy. Procedures were performed in the operating theatre or at the patient bedside in the emergency department or inpatient ward. As our primary outcome measure, it was assessed whether needle arthroscopic lavage resulted in a clear joint. In addition, the need for conversion to standard arthroscopy or arthrotomy, the need for conversion from local to general anaesthesia, complications and the need for additional surgical intervention at follow-up during admission were recorded. RESULTS Eleven joints in 10 patients (four males, age range 35 - 77) were managed with needle arthroscopy. Needle arthroscopic lavage resulted in a clear joint in all cases. Conversion to standard arthroscopy or arthrotomy was not needed. Seven procedures were performed at the patient bedside using local anaesthesia. These procedures were well tolerated and conversion to general or spinal anaesthesia was not required. There were no procedure complications. One patient received multiple needle arthroscopic lavages. No further surgical interventions beside the initial needle arthroscopic lavage were required for successful management in other cases. CONCLUSIONS Needle arthroscopy can be a feasible tool in the initial management of complaints suggestive for native joint bacterial arthritis, providing an effective, quick and well-tolerable intervention in the operating theatre or at the patient bedside, with the potential to relief health systems from need for scarce operating theatre time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We tested whether a mechanical device (such as Hipsecure) to pinpoint the anterior pelvic plane (APP) as a guide can improve acetabular cup placement. To assess accuracy we asked: (1) is the APP an effective guide to position acetabular cup placement within acceptable ° of divergence from the optimal 40° inclination and 15° anteversion; (2) could a mechanical device increase the number of acetabular cup placements within Lewinnek's safe zone (i.e. inclination 30° to 50°; anteversion 5° to 25°)? METHODS 16 cadaveric specimens were used to assess the 3D surgical success of using a mechanical device APP to guide acetabular cup placement along the APP. We used the Hipsecure mechanical device to implant acetabular cups at 40° inclination and 15° anteversion. Subequently, all cadaveric specimens with implants were scanned with a CT and 3D models were created of the pelvis and acetabular cups to assess the outcome in terms of Lewinnek's safe zones. RESULTS The mean inclination of the 16 implants was 40.6° (95% CI, 37.7-43.4) and the mean anteversion angle was 13.4° (95% CI, 10.7-16.1). All 16 cup placements were within Lewinnek's safe zone for inclination (between 30° and 50°) and all but 2 were within Lewinnek's safe zone for anteversion (between 5° and 25°). CONCLUSION In cadaveric specimens, the use of a mechanical device and the APP as a guide for acetabular cup placement resulted in good positioning with respect to both of Lewinnek's safe zones.

Abstract
Purpose Three out of ten patients do not return to work after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patient expectations are suggested to play a key role. What are patients' expectations regarding the ability to perform work-related knee-demanding activities 6 months after TKA compared to their preoperative status? Methods A multi-center cross-sectional study was performed among 292 working patients listed for TKA. The Work Osteoarthritis or joint-Replacement Questionnaire (WORQ, range 0-100, minimal important difference 13) was used to assess the preoperatively experienced and expected ability to perform work-related knee-demanding activities 6 months postoperatively. Differences between the preoperative and expected WORQ scores were tested and the most difficult knee-demanding work-related activities were described. Results Two hundred thirty-six working patients (81%) completed the questionnaire. Patients' expected WORQ score (Median = 75, IQR 60-86) was significantly (p < 0.01) higher than their preoperative WORQ score (Median = 44, IQR 35-56). A clinical improvement in ability to perform work-related knee-demanding activities was expected by 72% of the patients, while 28% of the patients expected no clinical improvement or even worse ability to perform work-related knee-demanding activities 6 months after TKA. Of the patients, 34% expected severe difficulty in kneeling, 30% in crouching and 17% in clambering 6 months after TKA. Conclusions Most patients have high expectations, especially regarding activities involving deep knee flexion. Remarkably, three out of ten patients expect no clinical improvement or even a worse ability to perform work-related knee-demanding activities 6 months postoperatively compared to their preoperative status. Therefore, addressing patients expectations seems useful in order to assure realistic expectations regarding work activities.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evidence-based advice for return to work (RTW) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is not available. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine when patients achieve full RTW, and to explore the beneficial and limiting factors for fully RTW after ACL reconstruction. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed after ACL reconstruction among 185 patients in one hospital. Data from patient files and a questionnaire were used to explore whether patient-, injury-, surgery-, sports-, work- and rehabilitation-related factors are beneficial or limiting for fully RTW after ACL reconstruction, using a backward stepwise logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 125 (68%) patients that returned the questionnaire, 36 were not part of the working population. Of the remaining 89 patients, 82 patients (92%) had returned fully to work at follow-up. The median time to fully RTW was 78 days. In the final regression model, which explained 29% of the variance, a significant OR of 5.4 (90% CI 2.2-13.1) for RTW > 78 days was observed for patients performing heavy knee-demanding work compared to patients performing light knee-demanding work. In addition, a significant and positive OR (1.6, 90% CI 1.2-1.9) for the number of weeks walking with the aid of crutches for RTW > 78 days was observed in the final model. CONCLUSION After ACL reconstruction, 92% of the patients fully return to work at a median time of 78 days. The significant predictors for fully RTW > 78 days are performing heavy knee-demanding work and a longer period of walking aided with crutches after ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasingly being performed among working patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Two out of ten patients do not return to work (RTW) after TKA. Little evidence is available about these patients to guide clinicians. Therefore, this study investigates patients' characteristics associated with no RTW. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed among working patients having undergone a primary TKA during 2005-2010. The following preoperative characteristics were assessed: age at surgery, sex, comorbidity, body mass index (BMI), preoperative sick-leave duration, patient-reported work-relatedness of knee symptoms, and physical job demands. In addition, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS) after TKA were assessed. Backward stepwise logistic regression analyses were performed to predict no RTW. Seven hundred and sixty-four patients were approached, and 558 patients (73 %) responded. One hundred and sixty-seven met the inclusion criteria and 46 did not RTW. A preoperative sick-leave duration >2 weeks (OR 12.5, 90 % CI 5.0-31.5) was most strongly associated with no RTW. Other associations found were: female sex (OR 3.2, 90 % CI 1.3-8.2), BMI ≥ 30 (OR 2.8, 90 % CI 1.1-7.1), patient-reported work-relatedness of knee symptoms (OR 5.3, 90 % CI 2.0-14.1), and a physically knee-demanding job (OR 3.3, 90 % CI 1.2-8.9). Age and KOOS were not associated with no RTW. Especially obese female workers, with a preoperative sick-leave duration >2 weeks, who perform knee-demanding work and indicate that their knee symptoms are work-related have a high chance for no RTW after TKA. These results stress the importance of a more timely referral for work-directed care of patients at risk for no RTW after TKA.

Abstract
Accurate transfer of a preoperatively planned osteotomy plane to the bone is of significance for corrective surgery, tumor resection, implant positioning and evaluation of new osteotomy techniques. Methods for comparing a preoperatively planned osteotomy plane with a surgical cut exist but the accuracy of these techniques are either limited or unknown. This paper proposes and evaluates a CT-based technique that enables comparing virtual with actual osteotomy planes. The methodological accuracy and reproducibility of the technique is evaluated using CT-derived volume data of a cadaver limb, which serves to plan TKA osteotomies in 3-D space and to simulate perfect osteotomies not hampered by surgical errors. The methodological variability of the technique is further investigated with repeated CT scans after actual osteotomy surgery of the same cadaver specimen. Plane displacement (derr) and angulation errors in the sagittal and coronal plane (βerr, γerr) are measured with high accuracy and reproducibility (derr=-0.11±0.06mm; βerr=0.08±0.04°, γerr=-0.03±0.03°). The proposed method for evaluating an osteotomy plane position and orientation has a high intrinsic accuracy and reproducibility. The method can be of great value for measuring the transfer accuracy of new techniques for positioning and orienting a surgical cut in 3-D space.

Abstract
The number of patients receiving a TKA during working life is increasing but little is known about the impact of TKA on patients' reintegration into the workplace. In this cross-sectional survey it was found that 173 of 480 responders worked within 2 years prior to surgery. Sixty-three percent of the working patients stopped within two weeks prior to surgery and 102 patients returned within 6 months. One third never returned to work. Activities that most improved were operating foot pedals, operating vehicles, standing and walking on level terrain. Activities that least improved were kneeling, crouching and clambering. Fifty patients scored 5 or less on the Work Ability Index. Thirty patients were dissatisfied. TKA significantly, but unequally, reduces difficulties in carrying out knee-burdening work activities.

Abstract
A cross-sectional study in two hospitals was performed on 807 patients with a primary Vanguard (Biomet) total knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The research questions addressed were (1) what are the two- and six year survival rates of the Vanguard, (2) what are the clinical outcome scores, (3) what are the findings at revision and (4) what are predictors for revision? The mean age at time of surgery was 67.0 (SD 10.0). The mean follow-up was 3.6 years (95% CI 3.56-3.73). At two years the survival was 97.2% for all-reasons (767 patients remaining) and 99%, for prosthesis-related-reasons (777 remaining). At six years this was 96.5% (40 remaining) and 98.6% (41 remaining). The mean clinical results (84% response on KOOS, Oxford and NRS) were good. A previous osteotomy was a risk factor for revision (hazard ratio 5.1, P=0.001). This early experience with the Vanguard shows a good survival with no adverse outcomes related to the implant and therefore further use of the implant is justified.

Abstract
We report a case of genu recurvatum following eight-Plate epiphysiodesis and the successful treatment of this complication. A 10-year-old patient underwent epiphysiodesis of the knee with eight-Plates. She was followed up and genu recurvatum developed as a complication. At the 12-month follow-up after epiphysiodesis, the treated knee showed a flexion of 135° and an extension of 35°. Lateral radiograph evaluation showed an extension change of the femur. During reoperation, the eight-Plates were repositioned more posterior, which resulted in successful treatment of the hyperextension. Eight-Plates can lead to (treatable) articular surface angle changes in the sagittal plane.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the degree of osteoarthritis, degree of laxity, and quality-of-life (QOL) scores in primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study; 25 patients who had undergone revision ACL reconstruction with allografts were identified and compared with 27 randomly selected primary ACL reconstruction patients operated on in the same hospital in the same period with the same technique. The main outcome measure was the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) radiographic osteoarthritis sum score, and secondary outcome measures were Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, IKDC functional outcome measures, anterior laxity, and QOL at follow-up. RESULTS The median follow-up was 5.3 years for revision reconstruction patients and 5.1 years for primary reconstruction patients. Radiographic IKDC sum scores for osteoarthritis were found to be significantly worse in revision patients, with a median of 4, compared with primary patients, with a median of 1 (P = .016). Differences were found in meniscal injury (P = .02) and cartilage status (P < .001) before or at the index operation. Significantly worse outcomes were found in the following subscores of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score: pain (median, 92 v 97; P = .032), symptom (median, 86 v 96; P = .015), activities of daily living (median, 94 v 100; P = .020), sport (median, 50 v 85; P = .006), and QOL (median, 56 v 81; P = .001). IKDC functional outcome measures were the same in both groups except for the pivot-shift test (P = .007). No differences were found in anterior drawer, Lachman, or KT-1000 arthrometer (MEDmetric, San Diego, CA) testing. Present-day health scores on the EQ-5D were worse for revision reconstruction patients (median, 70 v 80; P = .009). CONCLUSIONS Revision reconstruction patients have more signs of osteoarthritis and worse QOL than primary reconstruction patients, even though they have comparable IKDC success rates and KT-1000 arthrometer laxity test results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.
