INTRODUCTION: In cases of limited medical resources, elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) sometimes needs to be performed after typical work hours. However, surgeon fatigue and logistical factors may potentially affect outcomes. This study aimed to detect whether after-hour procedures impair outcomes after TKA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Elective unilateral TKA from Jan 1, 2016 to Nov 31, 2018 was retrospectively selected and separated into two groups. Procedures started from 8:00 A.M. to 5:29 P.M. were identified as day-time surgeries, whereas those started from 5:30 P.M. to 11:59 P.M. were considered after-hour surgeries. Operative period, Knee Society Score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), total blood loss, length of hospital stay (LOS), and postoperative adverse events and complications were compared. Additionally, the components were evaluated radiologically.
RESULTS: A total of 321 patients were selected, including 258 (80.37%) patients in the day-time group and 63 (19.63%) patients in the after-hour group. Operative period, LOS, total blood loss were similar between groups. The overall and each specific incidence of postoperative complications were comparable between the two groups, but the incidence of postoperative vomiting (POV) was higher in the after-hour group. There was no significant difference in knee joint function as shown by the KSS and ROM, both on the 3rd day and at 2 years after surgeries. Radiologically, there were no significant differences between the two groups in the femoral notches (P = 0.592). However, better coronal alignment was detected in the day-time group (P = 0.002), consistent with which there were less outliers (P = 0.033).
CONCLUSION: After-hour TKA procedure does not exert an impact on clinical outcomes, but negatively affects lower limb alignment. Besides, after-hour TKA surgery impairs patients' comfort by increasing POV.
