Abstract
The presentations to be discussed by the panel are: 1.) No Increased Risk of Knee Arthroplasty Failure in Metal Hypersensitive Patients: A Matched Cohort Study; 2.) Knee Arthrodesis is Most Likely to Control Infection and Preserve Function Following Failed 2 Stage Procedure for Treatment of Infected TKA: A Decision Tree Analysis; 3.) Does Malnutrition Correlate with Septic Failure of Hip and Knee Arthroplasties?; 4.) Diagnosing Periprosthetic Joint Infection: The Era of the Biomarker Has Arrived; 5.) Are Patient Reported Allergies a Risk Factor for Poor Outcomes in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty?; 6.) Revising an HTO or UKA to TKA: Is it more like a Primary TKA or a Revision TKA?; 7.) At 5 Years Highly-Porous-Metal Tibial Components Were Durable and Reliable: A Randomised Clinical Trial of 389 Patients; 8.)
