7.2 ELECTIVE TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT/ARTHROPLASTY<br />

(TKR)<br />

7.2.1 G<strong>en</strong>eral <strong>de</strong>scription of procedure<br />

Total knee replacem<strong>en</strong>t or arthr<strong>op</strong>lasty is a procedure in which damaged or diseased<br />

parts of the knee joint are removed and replaced with an artificial joint, called<br />

prosthesis. The thigh bone (or femur) abuts the large bone of the lower leg (tibia) at the<br />

knee joint. During a total knee replacem<strong>en</strong>t, the <strong>en</strong>d of the thigh bone (femur) is<br />

removed and replaced with a metal shell. The <strong>en</strong>d of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also<br />

removed and replaced with a channelled plastic piece with a metal stem. Dep<strong>en</strong>ding on<br />

the condition of the kneecap, a plastic "button" may also be ad<strong>de</strong>d un<strong>de</strong>r the kneecap<br />

surface.<br />

Revision knee replacem<strong>en</strong>t is performed wh<strong>en</strong> the original primary total knee<br />

replacem<strong>en</strong>t has worn out or loos<strong>en</strong>ed in the bone, or wh<strong>en</strong> the primary TKR fails due<br />

to, for example, recurr<strong>en</strong>t dislocation, infection or fracture.<br />

This report only studies the <strong>volume</strong>-outcome relationship for the primary total knee<br />

replacem<strong>en</strong>t.<br />

7.2.2 Primary data selection in MCD 2004<br />

First selection of data was based on ICD-9-CM procedure and NIHDI procedure co<strong>de</strong>s<br />

as pr<strong>op</strong>osed by Taylor et al., and by Jacques et al. This selection resulted in a total of<br />

246, 309<br />

14 105 stays.<br />

Table 7.20 shows that both ICD-9-CM and NIHDI procedures co<strong>de</strong>s were recor<strong>de</strong>d for<br />

almost 96% of the stays. There was thus a good correspond<strong>en</strong>ce betwe<strong>en</strong> both<br />

classification systems.<br />

Among the 13 513 stays with both an ICD-9 and a NIHDI co<strong>de</strong>, there were 926 which<br />

related to a revision of the hip arthr<strong>op</strong>lasty. These stays were not withheld.<br />

Subsequ<strong>en</strong>tly, we id<strong>en</strong>tified 12 752 stays with one total knee arthr<strong>op</strong>lasty in which both<br />

the NIHDI procedure co<strong>de</strong> 290286 as well as the ICD-9-CM procedure co<strong>de</strong> 8151<br />

were <strong>en</strong>co<strong>de</strong>d. Stays with more than one TKR billed were th<strong>en</strong> discar<strong>de</strong>d<br />

(number=109) together with 190 stays with abnormalities in the data. After<br />

withdrawing the remaining 84 stays with a simple prosthesis (NIHDI co<strong>de</strong> 290264), in<br />

or<strong>de</strong>r to obtain a homog<strong>en</strong>eous p<strong>op</strong>ulation, 12 369 stays could be further examined.
