Thus, this retrospective review of all TKAs performed at a large, urban hospital will add valuable evidence to help guide future patient care. After exclusion criteria, we retrospectively reviewed 417 patients who received a TKA from a group of fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons between 2009 and 2016 at a single academic medical center. Minimum follow-up time was 1 year. Patients were separated into two groups: those who received a preoperative intra-articular corticosteroid injection and those who did not receive an injection. Subgroups were created based on the timing of their most recent preoperative injection: 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 12+ months, and an unknown time period. Postoperative outcomes for PJI, revision TKA, and manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) were analyzed via a Chi-square test. No statistically significant postoperative differences were observed between groups: PJI (p\u2009=\u20090.904), revision TKA (p\u2009=\u20090.206), and MUA (p\u2009=\u20090.163). The temporal subgroups also failed to demonstrate a statistically significant result: PJI (p\u2009=\u20090.348), revision TKA (p\u2009=\u20090.701), and MUA (p\u2009=\u20090.512). This study revealed no absolute or temporal association between preoperative, intra-articular corticosteroid injections, and complications after TKA. Because these injections are a commonly used treatment modality prior to TKA, further studies should be conducted on a nationwide basis to draw more concrete conclusions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1731327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]],"date-time":"2021-06-29T22:50:34Z","timestamp":1625007034000},"page":"231-235","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Do Intra-articular Corticosteroid Injections Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty Increase Postoperative Complication Rates: A Retrospective Review"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"David T.","family":"Rhode","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1226-3513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew A.","family":"Siegel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elan","family":"Volchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Patetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garrett R.","family":"Schwarzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel J.","family":"Chmell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark H.","family":"Gonzalez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.60.2.91","article-title":"Knee pain and osteoarthritis in older adults: a review of community burden and current use of primary health care","volume":"60","author":"G Peat","year":"2001","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref2","first-page":"391","article-title":"Guidelines for the diagnosis, investigation and management of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee.
