Background: The risk of periprosthetic joint infection following revision total knee arthroplasty is high, as is the cost of care. Decreasing periprosthetic joint infection risk may include utilization of calcium sulfate beads. Calcium sulfate beads have been gaining momentum in treating infected joints because of their potential advantages, including antibiotic elution and dissolvability. However, literature documenting their utilization in aseptic revision is sparse. This study compares: 1) infection rates; 2) length of stay; 3) subsequent infection procedures; and 4) final surgical outcome between one-stage aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty patients who received calcium sulfate beads and those who did not. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review to identify patients who underwent aseptic one-stage revision total knee arthroplasty between January 2013 and December 2017. Outcomes collected included postoperative infection rate, length of stay, subsequent irrigation and debridement, and final surgical outcome, classified as a successful total knee arthroplasty reimplantation, a retained antibiotic spacer, or an above knee amputation. Chi-square analysis was used to analyze all categorical variables, while Student’s t-testing was used for continuous variables. A p-value of 0.5 was set as the threshold for statistical significance. Results: Calcium sulfate bead patients did not differ from non-calcium sulfate bead patients with regard to the number of postoperative infections (p=0.103), lengths of stay (p=0.210), irrigation and debridement procedures (p=0.063) and surgical outcome (p=0.085). Conclusion: Patients who received calcium sulfate beads had analogous surgical outcomes and infection rates to non-calcium sulfate bead patients. The use of calcium sulfate beads in aseptic one-stage revision total knee arthroplasty may not be beneficial in preventing infection and reducing costs.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to determine the mid-term clinical, radiographic and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes and define the survival rate in patients who had undergone revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the single rotating hinged knee (RHK) design. Methods Between January 2004 and December 2013, 125 revision TKAs were performed at our institution using the single RHK implant. We conducted both a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected outcome data of these patients and a prospective follow-up study of all 39 living patients (41 knees). The follow-up phase included an optional extra follow-up visit, PROM questionnaires, and plain radiographs. Results The ten-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate of the revision RHK knees was 81.7% (95% CI 71.9–91.6%) with re-revision for any reason as the endpoint. Overall, 15 knees (12% of the total) underwent re-revision surgery during the follow-up. The median follow-up was 6.2 years (range, 0–12.7 years) post-operatively for the baseline group. One mechanical hinge mechanism-related failure occurred without any history of trauma or infection. At the time of the final follow-up, the majority of patients evinced a fairly good clinical outcome measured with patient-reported outcome measures and none of the components were radiographically loose. Conclusion We found that in patients undergoing complex revision TKA, fairly good functional outcome and quality of life can be achieved using an RHK implant. Further, it seems that in this type of patient cohort, revision TKA using an RHK implant relieves pain more than it improves ability to function. The NexGen® RHK design can be regarded as a suitable option in complex revision TKA.
