Time to event data occur commonly in orthopedics research and require special methods that are often called “survival analysis.” These data are complex because both a follow-up time and an event indicator are needed to correctly describe the occurrence of the outcome of interest. Common pitfalls in analyzing time to event data include using methods designed for binary outcomes, failing to check proportional hazards, ignoring competing risks, and introducing immortal time bias by using future information. This article describes the concepts involved in time to event analyses as well as how to avoid common statistical pitfalls.

Most orthopedic studies involve survival analysis examining the time to an event of interest, such as a specific complication or revision surgery. Competing risks commonly arise in such studies when patients are at risk of more than one mutually exclusive event, such as death, or when the rate of an event depends on the rates of other competing events. In this article, we briefly describe the survival analysis censoring methodology, common fatal and nonfatal competing events, and define circumstances where standard survival analysis can fail in the setting of competing risks with real-world examples from orthopedics.

Kaplan-Meier survival curves are the most common methods for unadjusted group comparison of outcomes in orthopedic research. However, they may be misleading due to an imbalance of confounders between patient groups. The Cox model is frequently used to adjust for confounders, but graphical display of adjusted survival curves is not commonly utilized. We describe the circumstances when adjusted survival curves are useful in orthopedic research, describe and use 2 different methods to obtain adjusted curves, and illustrate how they can improve understanding of the multivariable Cox model results. We further provide practical strategies for identifying the need for and performing adjusted survival curves.

Many outcomes in arthroplasty research are analyzed as time-to-event outcomes using survival analysis methods. When comparison groups are defined after a time-delayed exposure or intervention, a period of immortal time arises and can lead to biased results. In orthopedics research, immortal time bias often arises when a minimum amount of follow-up is required for study inclusion or when comparing outcomes in staged bilateral vs unilateral arthroplasty patients. We present an explanation of immortal time and the associated bias, describe how to correctly account for it using proper data preparation and statistical techniques, and provide an illustrative example using real-world arthroplasty data. We offer practical guidelines for identifying and properly handling immortal time to avoid bias.

There has been 25-year trend of decreasing value for orthopedic surgical work based on the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) for Medicare reimbursement. This study was undertaken to estimate the time that Medicare payment rates for time spent in the office doing cognitive work will equal time dedicated in the operating room to performing procedural work based on long-term negative payment trends.

On December 20, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized its proposed rule: CMS-1734-P. This 2021 Final Rule significantly changed Medicare total joint arthroplasty (TJA) reimbursement. The precise impact on surgeon productivity and reimbursement is unknown. In the present study, we sought to model the potential impact of these changes for multiple unique practice configurations.

The clinical success of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for the treatment of symptomatic acetabular dysplasia is well-documented. Conflicting evidence exists regarding the correlation of age with clinical outcomes. Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - global (HOOSglobal) is a recently validated patient-reported outcome measure following PAO. The purpose of this study is to asses HOOSglobal and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores at early follow-up based on age at the time of PAO.

Postoperative arrhythmias are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) decrease atrial fibrillation rates after cardiac surgery, but it is unknown if this cardioprotective effect is maintained after joint reconstruction surgery. We aim to determine if perioperative statin use decreases the incidence of 90-day postoperative arrhythmias in patients undergoing primary TJA.

Despite the expanding indications for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), the classic indication that limits flexion contracture to <5° in fixed bearing UKA excludes most patients with arthritic knees and has not been challenged in modern literature. This study compared the clinical outcomes between patients with severe flexion contracture and controls undergoing UKA.

Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) may reduce surgical site complications following total joint arthroplasty. Although unlikely necessary for all patients, the criteria for utilizing ciNPWT in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain poorly defined. This study’s purpose was to compare the incidence of incisional wound complications, non-incisional complications (ie, dressing reactions), reoperations, and periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) among a group of high-risk primary TKA patients treated with ciNPWT vs an occlusive silver impregnated dressing.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) can result in poorer clinical outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Multiple modes of intervention have been evaluated for HO prevention, including the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. Additionally, multimodal pain management strategies including celecoxib have become more prominent. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the influence of celecoxib as part of postoperative analgesia on the risk of developing HO following the direct anterior approach (DA) for THA.

Statins have a variety of pleiotropic effects that could be beneficial for patients undertaking total knee or hip arthroplasty. In vitro and in vivo models suggest the beneficial effects of statins through bone formation and modulating proinflammatory cytokines triggered by implant debris. However, statins also exhibit antimicrobial action and may reduce the risk of revision surgery via reducing the risk of infection. We sought to explore the relationship between statin use and prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total knee or hip arthroplasty.

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) after total hip arthroplasty may affect clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Preoperative LLD estimates on anteroposterior pelvic radiographs fail to account for anatomical limb variation distal to the femoral reference points. The objective of this study is to determine how variations in lower limb skeletal lengths contribute to true LLD.

Periprosthetic femur fractures (PFFs) that occur distal to a total hip arthroplasty, Vancouver C fractures, are challenging to treat. We aimed to report patient mortality, reoperations, and complications following Vancouver C PFFs in a contemporary cohort all treated with a laterally based locking plate.

The use of national databases in lower extremity arthroplasty research has grown rapidly in recent years. We aimed to better characterize available databases by: (1) quantifying the number of these studies in the highest impact arthroplasty journals; (2) comparing respective sample sizes; and (3) contrasting their measured variables/outcomes.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic musculoskeletal condition that frequently affects the hip and knee joints. Given the burden associated with surgical intervention for hip and knee osteoarthritis, patients continue to search for potential nonoperative treatments. One biologic therapy with mixed clinical and basic science evidence for treating osteoarthritis is platelet-rich plasma injections into the affected joint. We used the Google Trends tool to provide a quantitative analysis of national interest in platelet-rich plasma injections for hip and knee osteoarthritis.

There is an increasing demand for total joint arthroplasty in liver transplantation patients. However, significant heterogeneity in existing studies creates difficulty to draw conclusions on the risk profile of arthroplasty in this population.
