Introduction: There are reported thermal injuries after prolonged use of laptops in the literature. Now for the first time, we report on a case, in which thermal injuries secondary to laptop over the scar of total knee arthroplasty. We report a case of a 69-year-old lady with a background history of left total knee replacement, who sustained a first degree thermal burn over the scar and lateral aspect of the thigh of the replaced knee after prolonged use of her laptop. To date this is the only case where a laptop burn happened to a patient after having total knee replacement. Conclusion: This case report highlights the management of such cases and can be used to educate other arthroplasty surgeons how to emphasise to patients about this possible risk associated with prolonged use of laptops in their consultation and consent. Keywords: First degree burns, laptop, total knee replacement.

Abstract Background Although total knee replacement (TKR) is an effective intervention for end-stage arthritis of the knee, a significant number of patients remain dissatisfied following this procedure. Our aim was to identify and assess the factors affecting patient satisfaction following a TKR. Materials and methods In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, two reviewers searched the online databases for literature describing factors affecting patient satisfaction following a TKR. The research question and eligibility criteria were established a priori. Any clinical outcome study that described factors relating to overall satisfaction after primary TKR was included. Quality assessment for the included studies was performed by two accredited orthopaedic surgeons experienced in clinical research. Results The systematic review identified 181 relevant articles in total. A history of mental health problems was the most frequently reported factor affecting patient satisfaction (13 reportings). When the results of the quality assessment were taken into consideration, a negative history of mental health problems, use of a mobile-bearing insert, patellar resurfacing, severe pre-operative radiological degenerative change, negative history of low back pain, no/less post-operative pain, good post-operative physical function and pre-operative expectations being met were considered to be important factors leading to better patient satisfaction following a TKR. Conclusion Surgeons performing a TKR should take these factors into consideration prior to deciding whether a patient is suitable for a TKR. Secondarily, a detailed explanation of these factors should form part of the process of informed consent to achieve better patient satisfaction following TKR. There is a great need for a unified approach to assessing satisfaction following a TKR and also the time at which satisfaction is assessed.

Abstract Background The infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) contains only sensory fibers that innervate the knee regarding its anteromedial aspect and the anterior-inferior portion of its capsule. IPBSN damage has been recorded as a postoperative complication of surgery about the knee, which is manifested by pain, numbness and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. The incisions made for arthroscopy, medial arthrotomy, and anterior cruciate ligament surgery also, can causes IPBSN damage in about 0.5 to 30% of cases. We aimed to study the frequency of infrapatellar branches of the saphenous nerve entrapment/injured in Egyptian patients to find the incidence of its affection in post-operative knee surgeries and to increase the awareness of this condition. Results Ninety patients complaining pain at the antero-medial aspect of the knee were collected and divided into 3 groups: G1 included 30 patients with a history of total knee replacement, G2 included 30 patients with a history of knee arthroscopy and G3 included 30 patients with non-specific knee pain. All patients went to clinical, electrophysiological study and laboratory measures. There was a significant statically differences of sensory nerve conduction study regarding latency and amplitude of infrapatellar nerve between the three groups and significant statically differences of clinical signs among patients of the studied groups regarding Hofmann-Tinel sign and pain provocation test. Conclusion The entrapment/injury of IPBSN is an underestimated sometimes unrecognized cause of post-operative knee pain to many clinicians. Awareness of this condition would probably help in managing these cases to decrease post-operative pain and disability as the frequency of infrapatellar neuropathy post total knee replacement was 56.6% and post arthroscopic surgery was 63.3% in cohort of Egyptian patients.
