Clinical Outcomes and Infection Rates Following Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty: Aseptic Failure versus Septic Failure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: It is controversial whether revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to septic failure shows inferior clinical outcomes compared with TKA due to aseptic failure. Moreover, few studies have compared the infection rates after revision TKA between aseptic and septic failure. We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and infection rates after aseptic and septic revision TKA. Methods: Between April 2006 and May 2019, 68 and 26 patients underwent revision TKA due to aseptic failure (aseptic group) and septic failure (septic group), respectively. The postoperative range of motion (ROM), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index, Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), and infection rates were compared between the two groups. Results: = 0.089). Conclusions: Revision TKA with septic failure showed inferior postoperative clinical outcomes compared with aseptic revision surgery. A slightly higher infection rate was observed in the septic group but it was not significantly different.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
