Résumé

Arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder develop via a similar pathologic process. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between these two conditions. This was a retrospective cohort study using a large nationwide claims database. Patients who had a history of shoulder AC prior to TKA were compared to TKA patients who did not have AC history comparing rates of postoperative stiffness, manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), arthroscopic lysis of adhesions (LOAs), and revision arthroplasty at postoperative timepoints (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years). Within 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of their TKAs, patients who had a history of AC prior to TKA were significantly more likely to experience stiffness (OR [odds ratio] = 1.29, 1.28, 1.32, and 1.36, respectively) and LOAs (OR = 6.78, 3.65, 2.99, and 2.81, respectively). They also showed increased risk of MUA within 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years (OR = 1.15, 1.15, and 1.16, respectively) of their TKAs. Patients having a preoperative diagnosis of AC did not have an increased risk of undergoing revision surgery 1 year or 2 years after their TKAs (P > .05). Patients diagnosed with AC prior to TKA experience higher rates of postoperative stiffness, resulting in additional interventions such as MUA and LOAs. These findings identify a particularly high-risk patient population that may benefit from additional interventions prior to and following TKA. This is a level III prognostic study.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Arthrofibrosis following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder develop via a similar pathologic process. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between these two conditions.
METHODS METHODS
This was a retrospective cohort study using a large nationwide claims database. Patients who had a history of shoulder AC prior to TKA were compared to TKA patients who did not have AC history comparing rates of postoperative stiffness, manipulation under anesthesia (MUA), arthroscopic lysis of adhesions (LOAs), and revision arthroplasty at postoperative timepoints (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years).
RESULTS RESULTS
Within 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years of their TKAs, patients who had a history of AC prior to TKA were significantly more likely to experience stiffness (OR [odds ratio] = 1.29, 1.28, 1.32, and 1.36, respectively) and LOAs (OR = 6.78, 3.65, 2.99, and 2.81, respectively). They also showed increased risk of MUA within 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years (OR = 1.15, 1.15, and 1.16, respectively) of their TKAs. Patients having a preoperative diagnosis of AC did not have an increased risk of undergoing revision surgery 1 year or 2 years after their TKAs (P > .05).
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Patients diagnosed with AC prior to TKA experience higher rates of postoperative stiffness, resulting in additional interventions such as MUA and LOAs. These findings identify a particularly high-risk patient population that may benefit from additional interventions prior to and following TKA.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE METHODS
This is a level III prognostic study.
