As such, we sought to determine: (1) the frequency of knee dislocations associated with vascular injuries; (2) the frequency of knee dislocations associated with vascular injuries that required repair; as well as (3) independent risk factors for knee dislocation with vascular injury that require repair, across different age groups, sexes, and United States geographic regions.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A national, all-payer database was queried from January 1, 2010 to June 31, 2022. The frequency of a vascular injury was calculated by dividing the number of vascular injuries within 30 days of all knee dislocations by the total number of knee dislocations in each category. The frequency of a vascular injury that required repair was calculated by dividing the number of vascular injuries that required repair associated with knee dislocation by the total number of vascular injuries associated with knee dislocations.

Our findings suggest that ADI alone may not be a sufficient tool for predicting postoperative outcomes following revision TJA, and other area-level indices should be further investigated as potential markers of social determinants of health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16633,"journal":{"name":"Journal of orthopaedics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141638656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
