While reducing costs in Medicare TKAs may be challenging, efforts to temper cost expansion are essential, particularly among high-cost patients. Strategies like preoperative risk stratification, appropriate monitoring, and proper discharge placement will assist mitigating Medicare’s cost burden by lowering rates of complications and readmissions. Proper application of innovative technologies may help minimize delays in care

Gait metrics derived from a sensor embedded in a TKA tibial extension correlate more strongly with performance tests (TUG and 4mWT) than with PROs (OKS and KOOS JR). While further study against controls is needed to confirm, early research indicates objective gait metrics better reflect physical function than subjective PROs. Dundon JM, Ballard JC, Whaley

The use of SIDs in this study demonstrated a significant reduction in MUA incidence following TKA. SID implantation with remote monitoring led to a threefold decrease in the rate of MUA. This study highlights the potential of SIDs to significantly reduce the rate of MUA through remote monitoring of several gait metrics, such as functional
