SICOT 2025: Reconstruction Of Extensor Mechanism Following Total Knee Arthroplasty .
Reconstruction Of Extensor Mechanism Following Total Knee Arthroplasty- ASystematic Review And Meta-Analysis Of Success Of Mesh Versus Allograft.
Fourteen studies of patients with extensor mechanism disruption after total knee arthroplasty were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing mesh versus allograft reconstruction. Pooled outcomes of interest included failure rates and prosthetic joint infection. Mesh reconstruction was associated with a lower risk of failure (RR 0.79; p = 0.02), with no significant difference in infection risk (p = 0.09). These findings suggest mesh may offer a slight advantage in durability without increasing infection risk.
