The management of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is challenging. The correct antibiotic management remains elusive due to differences in epidemiology and resistance between countries, and reports in the literature. Before the efficacy of surgical treatment is investigated, it is crucial to analyze the bacterial strains causing PJI, especially for patients in whom no organisms are grown. A review of all revision TKAs which were undertaken between 2006 and 2018 in a tertiary referral centre was performed, including all those meeting the consensus criteria for PJI, in which organisms were identified. Using a cluster analysis, three chronological time periods were created. We then evaluated the antibiotic resistance of the identified bacteria between these three clusters and the effectiveness of our antibiotic regime.Aims

The number of arthroplasties of the hip and knee
is predicted to increase rapidly during the next 20 years. Accompanying
this is the dilemma of how to follow-up these patients appropriately.
Current guidelines recommend long-term follow-up to identify patients
with aseptic loosening, which can occur more than a decade postoperatively.
The current guidelines and practices of orthopaedic surgeons vary
widely. Existing models take up much clinical time and are expensive.
Pilot studies using ‘virtual’ clinics and advanced-practice physiotherapists
have shown promise in decreasing the time and costs for orthopaedic surgeons
and patients. This review discusses current practices and future trends in
the follow-up of patients who have an arthroplasty. Cite this article:

The primary aim was to assess the rate of postoperative COVID-19 following hip and knee arthroplasty performed in March 2020 in the UK. The secondary aims were to assess whether there were clinical factors associated with COVID-19 status, the mortality rate of patients with COVID-19, and the rate of potential COVID-19 in patients not presenting to healthcare services. A multicentre retrospective study was conducted of patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (1 March 2020 to 31 March 2020) with a minimum of 60 days follow-up. Patient demographics, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, procedure type, primary or revision, length of stay (LOS), COVID-19 test status, and postoperative mortality were recorded. A subgroup of patients (n = 211) who had not presented to healthcare services after discharge were contacted and questioned as to whether they had symptoms of COVID-19.Aims
