Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide a United States perspective on alloplastic
total joint replacement. We sought to estimate the inpatient burden and report the
most common adverse events using two administrative datasets. The National Inpatient
Sample was queried from October 2015 to December 2016 for total joint replacement
admissions using International Classification of Diseases 10th revision codes, and the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience registry
was queried from January 2009 to September 2019 using manufacturer brands. The combined
final sample included 114 inpatient admissions and 392 adverse events. Mean age was
43.1 years, and most patients were white (82.7%) and female (86.0%). The mean hospital
charge was $108,709.43 and the mean length of stay was 2.6 days. The most common adverse
events were infection (26.3%), heterotopic bone (20.9%), and poor intraoperative fit
(14.0%). Fifty-four percent of cases had bilateral total joint replacements, 24.6%
had simultaneous subcutaneous abdominal fat grafting, and 11.4% had simultaneous maxillary
repositioning. Fat grafting and maxillary repositioning were not associated with any
significant difference in the length of stay or cost. Compared to unilateral cases,
bilateral total joint replacements carried significantly greater charges (P < 0.01), but no increased length of stay (P = 0.70), suggesting that bilateral and unilateral cases may experience a similar postoperative
course.
