Abstract Background: Two-stage revision is the gold standard for treatment of infected total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the reinfection rate of two-stage revision and to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of two-stage revision for infected total knee arthroplasty.Methods: One hundred seven cases of two-stage revision for infected total knee arthroplasty were reviewed retrospectively from March 2006 to November 2019. We evaluated possible risk factors between success and reinfection groups. Statistical analyses included multivariable logistic regression analysis to examine the relative contribution of risk factors to the success of two-stage revision. Results: There were 19 cases of reinfection (17.8%) after two-stage revision in our center. Between the success and reinfection groups, there was a significant difference in history of cancer (p=0.015). Also, multivariable logistic regression analysis of risk factors demonstrated history of cancer (HR 5.928, p=0.015). There were no statistically significant differences in reinfection relative to other risk factors. Conclusions: In subjects undergoing two-stage revision for infected total knee arthroplasty, history of cancer was a risk factor for reinfection, though no other significant differences between risk factors was shown for reinfection.Trial registration: Retrospectively registeredLevel of evidence: IV

AbstractWe investigated the results of delirium which developed after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the risk factors for delirium in the patients who are older than 65 years. From March 2008 to March 2012, we performed a retrospective study on 296 knees of 265 patients who were treated with TKA. They were divided into two groups: 216 patients without delirium and 49 patients diagnosed with delirium by psychiatry. We analyzed the risk factors into three categories: First, the preoperative factors including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), clinical and functional knee joint score (Knee Society Knee Score and Knee Society Function Score) and the number of underlying diseases and associations with each disease; Second, the operative factors including the anesthesia method, amount of blood loss, operating time, laboratory factors, and transfusion count; Third, the postoperative factors such as start time of walking and duration of hospital stay were analyzed. There were significant statistical difference between two groups just in age, history of dementia, cerebrovascular disease, difference of hemoglobin and albumin, start time of walking, and duration of hospital stay. The delirium after TKA delays the postoperative ambulation and extends the hospital stay, which causes functional and socioeconomic loss of patients. Therefore, the risk factors for delirium should be assessed and proper prevention and management should be conducted.
