BACKGROUND: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Above-knee amputation (AKA) is a salvage procedure that may be performed after revision TKAs fail to eradicate PJI. Few studies have investigated patient-reported outcomes. This study investigates patient-reported functional outcomes and overall satisfaction in a cohort of patients who underwent AKA for PJI.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of all patients who underwent AKA for PJI from 2002 to 2015 at a tertiary academic institution in the rural northeastern United States, along with prospective phone interviews. Functional outcomes and overall satisfaction were adapted from the Above-The-Knee Amputation Functional Ability Questionnaire. Additional variables included age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Score, and mortality.
RESULTS: Forty-four patients were included in the study. Eighteen patients died prior to study initiation, with a mean time of 948 days (2.6 years) between AKA and death. The 5-year mortality rate was 50%. Among the 14 patients who completed the survey, 12 (86%) were fit for prosthesis following AKA. Of these, 10 (71%) required the use of an assistive device and one (seven percent) reported being functionally independent with their prosthesis. Five (36%) required further surgery after their AKA. Twelve (86%) stated that they were satisfied with their AKA and 5 (42%) would have done it sooner if offered.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who underwent AKA for PJI reported a low level of independence and ability to ambulate with a high mortality rate. However, most were satisfied with their AKA and would choose it again.
