Abstract
Previous immunohistochemical analyses revealed altered protein expression in the periprosthetic membranes of patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Proteins are degraded to peptides that may pass the blood-kidney barrier depending on their size. The aim of this study was to evaluate if PJI can be diagnosed based on the urinary peptide excretion pattern. Thirty patients undergoing removal of their hip or knee prostheses due to septic or aseptic loosening were enrolled. Specimen sampling was performed according to the MusculoSkeletal Infection Society criteria. A urinary sample was analyzed before surgery using capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. Peptides with differential urinary excretion between groups were used to establish a multimarker model. A total of 137 peptides were differentially excreted between the septic and aseptic groups. The majority of identified peptide markers were fragments of structural extracellular matrix proteins, potentially due to their origin from the periprosthetic membrane. A marker model with 83 peptides achieved the best diagnostic performance for diagnosing PJI with a sensitivity of 95%, a specificity of 90%, and an area under the curve of 0.96. The altered protein expression pattern in the periprosthetic membrane of PJI is most likely reflected in excreted urinary peptides. Thus, the diagnosis of PJI by urinary peptide markers seems to be a reasonable approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many ways in which computer-assisted orthopedic and trauma surgery (CAOS) procedures can help surgeons to plan and execute an intervention. METHODS This study is based on data derived from a selective search of the literature in the PubMed database, supported by a Google Scholar search. RESULTS For most applications the evidence is weak. In no sector did the use of computer-assisted surgery yield any relevant clinical or functional improvement. In trauma surgery, 3D-navigated sacroiliac screw fixation has become clinically established for the treatment of pelvic fractures. One randomized controlled trial showed a reduction in the rate of screw misplacement: 0% with 3D navigation versus 20.4% with the conventional procedure und 16.6% with 2D navigation. Moreover, navigation-assisted pedicle screw stabilization lowers the misplacement rate. In joint replacements, the long-term results showed no difference in respect of clinical/functional scores, the time for which the implant remained in place, or aseptic loosening. CONCLUSION Computer-assisted procedures can improve the precision of certain surgical interventions. Particularly in joint replacement and spinal surgery, the research is moving away from navigation in the direction of robotic procedures. Future studies should place greater emphasis on clinical and functional results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Computed tomography-based three-dimensional models may allow the accurate determination of the center of rotation, lateral and anterior femoral offsets, and the required implant size in total hip arthroplasty. In this cadaver study, the accuracy of anatomical reconstruction was evaluated using a three-dimensional planning tool. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of eight hip arthroplasties were performed on four bilateral specimens. Based on a computed tomography scan, the position and size of the prosthesis were templated with respect to the anatomical conditions. RESULTS On average, all parameters were reconstructed to an accuracy of 4.5 mm and lie within the limits recommended in the literature. All prostheses were implanted with the templated size. CONCLUSIONS The exact anatomy of the patient and the required size and position of the prosthesis were precisely analyzed using a templating software. Based on the present findings, the development of template-directed instrumentation is conceivable using this method. However, further technical features (e.g., navigation or robot-assisted surgery) are required for improved precision for implant positioning.

Abstract
Introduction Over the past decades many innovations were introduced in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) focusing on implant longevity and higher procedural precision; however, there are still a high number of dissatisfied patients. It was reported that better anatomical alignment may result in improved patient outcome; however, current technologies have limitations to achieve this. The aim of this video article is to describe the technique of individualized alignment in TKA with the use of image-based robotic assistance. Methods The technology is based on an individual patient knee model computed from segmented computed tomography (CT) scans. A preoperative planning of prosthesis position is conducted following the principle of kinematic alignment. Intraoperatively the soft tissue envelope is recorded and the computer predicts the gap balance based on the virtual planning. The prosthesis position is then adapted to achieve balanced gaps and to avoid soft tissue release. This technique is shown in a cadaver operation and clinical examples of two patients are described. Results With the combination of anatomically oriented prosthesis positioning and minor adaptations with respect to the soft tissue, an individualized alignment is achieved with reduced need of soft tissue release. The robotic-assisted surgery guarantees a precise implementation of the planning. The initial experience showed a promising outcome in short-term follow-up. Video online The online version of this article (10.1007/s00132-018-3637-1) contains a video on patient individualized alignment in total knee arthroplasty. The article and video are available in the electronic full text archive at SpringerMedizin.de under http://www.springermedizin.de/der-orthopaede. The video can be found at the end of the article as supplementary material.

Abstract
Arthroplasty has become a very successful operation with excellent long-term results. A dedicated diagnostic set-up to exclude osteoporosis prior to a joint replacement and the use of drugs to improve the outcome of a joint replacement are currently not recommended. Knee arthroplasty should always be cemented in patients with known osteoporosis. The same is recommended for hip joint replacement, even if the cement-free acetabular component yields good results. Rapid loading and mobilization appear beneficial also with respect to the osteoporosis and its systemic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is a common therapy for the fracture sequelae (FS) of the proximal humerus. The aim of this study was to show the short and midterm clinical outcome of the RTSA for FS and to identify prognostic factors. METHODS Data from 46 patients with chronic FS who underwent RTSA were analysed. The clinical follow-up included the Constant score and radiographic examination. Patients were divided into groups based on the Boileau classification of FS, and the degree of metaphyseal bone loss was measured (Boileau type I 9 patients; type II 3 patients; type III 8 patients and type IV 16 patients). Scapular notching was assessed according to the classification of Sirveaux. RESULTS The mean postoperative Constant score was 57. Clinical outcomes were similar among the various FS groups, as defined according to the Boileau classification, but patients who had undergone revision arthroplasty had a significantly inferior mean Constant score than patients with type IV FS. There were no significant differences between patients who were initially managed with conservative therapy and those treated surgically. Patients with metaphyseal bone loss >3 cm showed inferior clinical scores. Inferior scapular notching was seen in 25 patients, and had a negative effect on the clinical outcome. Complications included five infections and one dislocation. CONCLUSION Metaphyseal bone loss was unfavourable prognostic factors in patients with FS treated with RTSA. However, the Boileau classification did not serve as a prognostic criterion. Previous operative or conservative treatment had no influence on the outcome and scapular notching was associated with inferior clinical results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the number of arthroplasties performed increases, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a common and challenging problem. The Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) recommends diagnosing PJI according to its guidelines. The aim of the current study was to assess whether fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded periprosthetic membranes can successfully improve the diagnosis of infection in patients with orthopaedic implants. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 88 periprosthetic membranes of joint prostheses using FISH analysis according to a standard protocol, with a probe targeting a sequence found in most bacteria. We compared the results with routine clinical classification according to the guidelines of the MSIS, microbiological culture, and histopathological classification according to Morawietz and Krenn. We additionally performed FISH analysis using 2 species-specific probes for several culture-positive cases. RESULTS FISH successfully detected bacteria in 38 (95%) of 40 periprosthetic membranes that were rated positive by clinical classification. FISH results compared with clinical classification demonstrated a sensitivity of 95% (95% confidence interval [CI], 83.08% to 99.39%), a specificity of 85.42% (95% CI, 72.24% to 93.93%), a positive predictive value of 84.44% (95% CI, 70.55% to 93.50%), and a negative predictive value of 95.35% (95% CI, 84.19% to 99.43%). FISH results compared with histopathological classification demonstrated a sensitivity of 95.12% (95% CI, 83.47% to 99.40%), a specificity of 87.23% (95% CI, 74.26% to 95.17%), a positive predictive value of 86.67% (95% CI, 73.21% to 94.95%), and a negative predictive value of 95.35% (95% CI, 84.19% to 99.43%). We successfully detected Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus with species-specific FISH probes in all cases that were positive for these respective bacteria by microbiological culture. CONCLUSIONS FISH-based diagnosis of PJI is feasible and can be used as an additional diagnostic criterion. FISH not only can detect bacteria in periprosthetic membranes but can also differentiate pathogens at the species level. FISH represents a fast and reliable tool for detecting PJI in periprosthetic membranes, especially in combination with clinical and histopathological classification. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Preoperative digital templating in total knee arthroplastiy (TKA) is useful in predicting implant size, the level of bone resections and the need for special implants. This study should evaluate the templating of a rotating hinge prosthesis and the realization of the preoperative plan. Two observers with different experience levels templated 40 cases which received TKA and R-TKA using digital planning on standard preoperative x-rays. The examiners templated all cases independently and were blinded to the component sizes used intraoperatively. The kappa coefficient and Pearson coefficient were determined. The accuracy in predicting the correct implant size in revision TKA varied from 67,9% to 82,1% depending on the training level of the observer. The two observers show moderate and substantial correlation. The coefficient indicates a substantial agreement in between the two observers in templating revision TKA. The accuracy depends on the experience of the observer. In the cases were the templating was incorrect, the prosthesis was implanted smaller than the preoperative plan. With this knowledge very good results can be made with this prosthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This biomechanical cadaveric in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the dynamic elongation behavior and ultimate failure strength of tibial adjustable-length loop cortical button versus interference screw fixation in quadriceps tendon-based anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. METHODS Sixteen human quadriceps tendons were harvested and fixed into porcine tibiae using either biodegradable interference screw (n = 8) or adjustable loop device (n = 8) fixation. An acrylic block was utilized for femoral adjustable loop device fixation for both groups. All constructs were precycled for 10 times at 0.5 Hz and manually retensioned before tested in position and force control mode each for 1000 cycles at 0.75 Hz according to in vitro loading conditions replicating the in vivo ACL environment. Subsequently, an ultimate failure test at 50 mm/min was performed with mode of failure noted. FINDINGS Tibial IS fixation showed no statistically significant differences in the initial (-0.46 vs. -0.47 mm; P = 0.9780), dynamic (2.18 mm vs. 2.89 mm; P = 0,0661), and total elongation (1.72 mm vs. 2.42 mm; P = 0,0997) compared to adjustable loop device fixation. The tibial button fixation revealed an increased ultimate failure load (743.3 N vs. 606.3 N; P = 0.0027), while stiffness was decreased in comparison to screw fixation (133.2 N/mm vs. 153.5 N/mm; P = 0,0045). INTERPRETATION Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for quadriceps tendon graft using a tibial adjustable-length loop cortical button provides for comparable dynamic stabilization of the knee with increased ultimate failure load at decreased stiffness compared to screw fixation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With ankle arthritis often affecting young patients, joint-sparing treatments instead of total joint replacement should be considered. Only a few implants were specially developed for supramalleolar osteotomies (SMOT). This study was performed to analyse the stability of different implants and their appropriateness for SMOT. METHODS Twenty-five bone models (Sawbone Europe, Malmö, Sweden) were used for biomechanical testing. SMOT were performed as a uniplanar osteotomy, leaving 5 mm of lateral bone intact with a standardized gap of 8 mm. Five different plates commonly used for SMOT were assessed. For axial stability, the constructs were tested during 100 cycles for each load (150N and 800N) at a rate of 0.5 Hz. For rotational stability, each construct was subject to 100 cycles of 5 Nm torque at a rate of 0.25 Hz, performing three runs with an axial preload of 0N, 150N, or 800N. Ultimate axial load was performed for one-half and ultimate rotational load was performed for the other half of the constructs. In addition, the stiffness of the different constructs after failure was tested. RESULTS All constructs showed high stability and could be tested until maximum cyclic load. There was no significant difference between the five plates, neither for stiffness (axial or rotational) nor for failure load (axial or rotational). One plate indicated superiority in axial failure testing without any significant difference. CONCLUSION All implants could be tested until maximum load. The intact hinge apparently provides enough support to compensate for lower moment of inertia of some plates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Not applicable.

Abstract
Background Reliable biomechanical data about the strength of different tibial extracortical graft fixation devices is sparse. This biomechanical study compares the properties of tibial graft fixation in ACL reconstruction with either the ACL Tight Rope™ or the Rigid Loop Adjustable™ device. The hypothesis was that both fixation devices would provide comparable results concerning gap formation during cyclic loading and ultimate failure load. Methods Sixteen sawbone tibiae (Sawbones™) underwent extracortical fixation of porcine flexor digitorum profundus grafts for ACL reconstruction. Either the ACL Tight Rope™ (Arthrex) or the Rigid Loop Adjustable™ (DePuy Mitek) fixation device were used, resulting in 2 groups with 8 specimens per group. Biomechanical analysis included pretensioning the constructs 10 times with 0.75 Hz, then cyclic loading of 1,000 position-controlled cycles and 1,000 force-controlled cycles applied with a servohydraulic testing machine. Elongation during cyclic loading was recorded. After this, ultimate failure load and failure mode analysis were performed. Results No statistically significant difference could be noted between the groups regarding gap formation during cyclic loading (4.6 ± 2.6 mm for the Rigid Loop Adjustable™ vs. 6.6 ± 1.5 mm for the ACL Tight Rope™ (p > 0.05)), and ultimate failure loads (980 ± 101.9 N for the Rigid Loop Adjustable™ vs. 861 ± 115 N ACL Tight Rope™ (p > 0.05)). Conclusion ACL Tight Rope™ and the Rigid Loop Adjustable™ fixation devices yield comparable biomechanical results for tibial extracortical graft fixation in ACL reconstruction. These findings may be of relevance for the future surgical decision-making in ACL reconstruction. Randomized controlled clinical trials comparing both fixation devices are desirable for the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kinematic alignment (KA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) matches component position to the pre-arthritic anatomy of an individual patient, with the aim of improving functional outcomes. Recent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing KA to traditional neutral mechanical alignment (MA) have been mixed. This collaborative study combined raw data from RCTs, aiming to compare functional outcomes between KA using patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and MA, and whether any patient subgroups may benefit more from KA technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases identified four randomised controlled trials comparing patients undergoing TKA using PSI-KA and MA. Unpublished data including Western Ontario McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Knee Society Score (KSS) were obtained from study authors. Meta-analysis compared MA to KA change (post-op minus pre-op) scores. Subgroup-analysis on KA patients looked for subgroups more likely to benefit from KA and the impact of PSI accuracy. RESULTS Meta-analyses of change scores in 229 KA patients versus 229 MA patients were no different from WOMAC (mean difference 3.4; 95% confidence interval - 0.5 to 7.3), KSS function (1.3, - 3.9 to 6.4) or KSS combined (7.2, - 0.8 to 15.2). A small advantage was seen for KSS pain in the KA group (3.6, 95% CI 0.2-7.1). Subgroup-analysis showed no difference between varus, valgus and neutral pre-operative alignment groups, and those who did and did not achieve KA plans. Pain-free patients at 1-year were more likely to achieve KA plans. CONCLUSION Patient-reported outcome scores following TKA using PSI-KA are similar to MA. No identifiable subgroups benefited more from KA, and long-term results remain unknown. Inaccuracy of the PSI system used in KA patients could potentially affect outcome.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungMittlerweile findet sich ein schier unendliches Angebot an Knieprothesenmodellen auf dem Markt, aus denen der Chirurg für seine Versorgung wählen kann. Obwohl sich die Designs auf den ersten Blick immer weiter annähern und ähneln, betreibt die Industrie einen hohen Aufwand, unterschiedliche Designmerkmale als Alleinstellung herauszuarbeiten. Für den Anwender ist es zunehmend schwierig, den Überblick zu behalten und die tatsächliche Relevanz der Features zu bewerten. Unabhängige vergleichende wissenschaftliche Arbeiten sind Mangelware und die Evidenz entsprechend gering. Dennoch erfordern unterschiedliche Designphilosophien ein tiefgründiges konzeptionelles Verständnis und besondere Operationsalgorithmen, sodass sich der Chirurg mit der von ihm benutzten Prothese entsprechend gut auskennen muss. Interessant ist auch eine sich aus diesem Wissen ergebende indikationsbezogene Prothesenauswahl. Im Folgenden wird ein kurzer Überblick über die wesentlichen Konzepte der ungekoppelten Primärprothesen gegeben und deren klinisch relevante Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Biomechanik und den klinischen Einsatz angesprochen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperextension of the femoral component and excessive slope of the tibial component may delay the cam-post engagement in semi-constrained revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Further, it may compromise the posterior condylar offset (PCO). No prior study has determined whether a short 50-mm stem, or longer stems (100mm and 150mm) lead to less hyperextension of the femoral component or excessive slope and its influence on the posterior condylar offset. METHODS Flexion/extension of the femoral component with respect to the sagittal femoral anatomic axis of the distal diaphysis (SFAA) and the tibial slope were measured from rotationally controlled lateral X-rays of 126 consecutive patients with a one- or two-stage revision TKA. Stems of 50mm, 100mm and 150mm were analyzed. Further, reconstruction of the PCO with respect to stem length and component flexion was evaluated. RESULTS The average flexion (+) or extension (-) of the femoral component in the sagittal distal anatomical axis was -4.1°±2.8° (mean ± std) for components, which have been implanted with 50-mm stems and 1.1°±1.1° for components with 100- or 150-mm stems, respectively (P=0.0001). The average slope of the tibial was 2.6°±1.5° for tibial trays with 50-mm stems, which was more than the 1.3°±1° for trays with 100-mm stems (P=0.0001). The average PCO ratio was 0.8±1.7 for femoral components with 50-mm stems, which was less than the 1.0±1.7 for trays with 100-mm stems (P=0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Because 50-mm stems resulted in about three degree hyperextension of the femoral component with respect to the SFAA compared to 100-mm or 150-mm stems, the longer stems do not alter the natural femoral flexion and a delay of the cam-post engagement may be avoided. Further, a better reconstruction of the PCO may be archived with the use of longer stems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study is to investigate the biomechanical and histological properties of in vivo heterotopically prefabricated cruciate ligament replacement grafts with and without mechanical stimulation. The clinical goal is to heterotopically prefabricate a bone-tendon-bone graft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, which allows rapid ingrowth and early full weight bearing. METHODS In a sheep model, eight quadriceps tendon grafts were harvested and introduced into culture chambers at their proximal and distal ends. In group S, four tendon-chamber constructs were mechanically stimulated by direct attachment to the quadriceps tendon and patella. In group NS, the same constructs were cultured without proximal attachment. All sheep were sacrificed six weeks postoperatively and the constructs were examined biomechanically and histologically. The healthy contralateral ACL and quadriceps tendon were used as controls. RESULTS Macroscopically, no obvious ossification could be observed at the ends of the tendon-chamber constructs six weeks postoperatively. Histologically, the tendon tissue from the mechanically stimulated constructs revealed higher counts of cells and capillaries. However, there was less regular cell distribution and collagen fiber orientation compared to the control group. In addition, osteoblasts and osteogenesis were observed in the prefabricated constructs both with and without mechanical stimulation. Biomechanically, there were no significant differences in stiffness, elongation and ultimate failure load between the groups. CONCLUSION In vivo heterotopic culture of prefabricated tendon grafts may have the potential to stimulate osteoblasts and induce osteogenesis. Future studies with longer follow-up and modifications of the surgical technique and culture conditions are desirable.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which is caused by germinal mutations responsible for the repair of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA lesions. It is characterized by hypersensitivity to UV radiation, poikiloderma, ocular surface disease, and in some patients pronounced sunburn and neurological disease. Patients have a very high risk of developing ocular and skin cancer on exposed body sites. No cure is available for these patients except complete protection from all types of UV radiation.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the current study the clinical outcome of an arthroscopic posterior bone block augmentation in combination with a posterior capsular repair was investigated. METHODS Twenty-four shoulders (18 patients) with unidirectional posterior shoulder instability were treated with an arthroscopic posterior bone block and capsular reconstruction. The mean follow up period was 26 months. The patients were examined pre- and postoperatively using the Constant-Murley score, the Rowe score, Walch-Duplay score and Western Ontario Shoulder index. RESULTS At the follow up examination 21 shoulders were classified to be stable, while one patient reported a single redislocation and two further patients reported recurrent posterior subluxation or posterior apprehension. Thus, the recurrence rate was defined to be 12.5%. The Rowe-Score significantly improved from 50 points preoperatively to 75 points postoperatively (p = 0.0003). The WOSI-score significantly improved from 37% preoperatively to 66% postoperatively (p = 0.0001). Revision surgery commonly was required for screw removal. CONCLUSION The early clinical results of this arthroscopic bone block augmentation and capsular repair are promising. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE Kinematic alignment in TKA is supposed to restore function by aligning the components to the premorbid flexion-extension axis instead of altering the joint line and natural kinematic axes of the knee. The purpose of this study was to compare mechanically aligned TKA to kinematic alignment. METHODS In this study, 200 patients underwent TKA and were randomly assigned to 2 groups: 100 TKAs were performed using kinematic alignment with custom-made cutting guides in order to complete cruciate-retaining TKA; the other 100 patients underwent TKA that was manually performed using mechanical alignment. The WOMAC and combined Knee Society Score (KSS), as well as radiological alignment, were determined as outcome parameters at the 12-month endpoint. RESULTS WOMAC and KSS significantly improved in both groups. There was a significant difference in both scores between groups in favour of kinematic alignment. Although the kinematic alignment group demonstrated significantly better overall results, more outliers with poor outcomes were also seen in this group. A correlation between post-operative alignment deviation from the initial plan and poor outcomes was also noted. The most important finding of this study is that applying kinematic alignment in TKA achieves comparable results to mechanical alignment in TKA. This study also shows that restoring the premorbid flexion-extension axis of the knee joint leads to better overall functional results. CONCLUSION Kinematic alignment is a favourable technique for TKA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The kinematic alignment idea might be a considerable alternative to mechanical alignment in the future.
