The mean costs of cemented and cementless devices listed above were €11466 and €3206.444, respectively (average difference, €2060.444); the mean procedure cost of revision THA was €3249.751 (1).
Given the procedural complexity of revision procedures, growth in utilization of revision TKAs will further strain healthcare resources [ 5].
It also introduced the establishment of a general procedure for revisions on the content of the health benefit basket.
The outcome of interest is the time from the primary procedure until revision of the prosthesis.
Arthroplasty registry data are conventionally analyzed using survival methods where the outcome is time to one event of interest, which is usually the time from the primary procedure until revision of the prosthesis.
22 stem brands remained (which were used in 116,069 procedures) for analysis of revision of any component.
Salvage procedures for reinfection of revision TKA focus primarily in curing the infection by means of arthrodesis, resection arthroplasty, or above-the-knee amputation.
Risk factors identified by prior studies include age, type of procedure, revision surgery, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, gender, osteoporosis, and arthritis.
A total of 21 (22.6%) procedures underwent surgical revision in the form of hardware removal (n = 8), lesser metatarsal surgery for intractable postoperative metatarsalgia (n = 7), no mention of revision procedure (n = 3), Keller resection arthroplasty (n = 2), and treatment of infection with revision of non-union (n = 1).
The group was divided into subgroups, which were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and included hips showing high and low degrees of wear, hips with normal and abnormal results of preoperative investigation, and hips with different types of revision procedure.
Some authors have reported that the revision procedure of UKA to TKA is technically not more difficult than revision from TKA to TKA (McAuley et al. 2001, Johnson et al. 2007, Saldanha et al. 2007).
