Aims

Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around the knee are challenging injuries. This study aims to describe the characteristics of knee PPFs and the impact of patient demographics, fracture types, and management modalities on in-hospital mortality.

Methods

Using a multicentre study design, independent of registry data, we included adult patients sustaining a PPF around a knee arthroplasty between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2019. Univariate, then multivariable, logistic regression analyses were performed to study the impact of patient, fracture, and treatment on mortality.

Aim

Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are rare and require complex multi-disciplinary management. Successful single and two-stage revision procedures have been described. We describe the clinical features of this rare diagnosis from a single institution.

Method

Patients were identified retrospectively from a prospectively collected institutional infection database. Clinical notes were evaluated for demographic, comorbid and clinical outcomes. The diagnosis of PJI, and any recurrence following treatment, was made in accordance with the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria. Failure was defined as recurrence of infection necessitating implant removal, excision arthroplasty or amputation.
