Abstract
The rise of additive manufacturing has provided a paradigm shift in the fabrication of precise, patient-specific implants that replicate the physical properties of native bone. However, eliciting an optimal biological response from such materials for rapid bone integration remains a challenge. Here we propose for the first time a one-step ion-assisted plasma polymerization process to create bio-functional 3D printed titanium (Ti) implants that offer rapid bone integration. Using selective laser melting, porous Ti implants with enhanced bone-mimicking mechanical properties were fabricated. The implants were functionalized uniformly with a highly reactive, radical-rich polymeric coating generated using a unique combination of plasma polymerization and plasma immersion ion implantation. We demonstrated the performance of such activated Ti implants with a focus on the coating's homogeneity, stability, and biological functionality. It was shown that the optimized coating was highly robust and possessed superb physico-chemical stability in a corrosive physiological solution. The plasma activated coating was cytocompatible and non-immunogenic; and through its high reactivity, it allowed for easy, one-step covalent immobilization of functional biomolecules in the absence of solvents or chemicals. The activated Ti implants bio-functionalized with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) showed a reduced protein desorption and a more sustained osteoblast response both in vitro and in vivo compared to implants modified through conventional physisorption of BMP-2. The versatile new approach presented here will enable the development of bio-functionalized additively manufactured implants that are patient-specific and offer improved integration with host tissue. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the fabrication of patient-specific orthopedic implants. Although such 3D printed implants can show desirable mechanical and mass transport properties, they often require surface bio-functionalities to enable control over the biological response. Surface covalent immobilization of bioactive molecules is a viable approach to achieve this. Here we report the development of additively manufactured titanium implants that precisely replicate the physical properties of native bone and are bio-functionalized in a simple, reagent-free step. Our results show that covalent attachment of bone-related growth factors through ion-assisted plasma polymerized interlayers circumvents their desorption in physiological solution and significantly improves the bone induction by the implants both in vitro and in vivo.

Natural outcome of hemoglobin and functional recovery after the direct anterior versus the posterolateral approach for total hip arthroplasty: a randomized study. J Orthop Surg Res 2020; 15:200. [PMID: 32487264 PMCID: PMC7268999 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-020-01716-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries. There are many common surgical approaches for THA. The direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterolateral approach (PLA) were compared, leading to controversial results. METHODS We report on a prospective randomized study which compared the changes of perioperative hemoglobin (Hb), the Harris hip score (HHS) and a visual analog scale (VAS) pain score following THA using DAA or PLA. A total of 130 participants were randomly divided into two groups (65 DAA versus 65 PLA). Perioperative ΔHb and other clinical outcomes were recorded. RESULTS A total of 130 participants completed follow-up, while 14 patients were not recorded in blood outcomes due to blood transfusions and complications. The average Hb decrease immediately after surgery in the DAA group was greater than that in the PLA group (21.1 versus 15.8 g/L, P < .001). However, post-operative Hb descent velocity was slower in the DAA group, and the lowest point was reached earlier. No significant differences in ΔHb levels could be observed after 1 month in the two groups. When compared with the PLA group, the DAA group had a shorter incision (9.1 versus 13.5 cm, P < .001) and shorter hospital stay (4.2 versus 4.7 days, P = .004). However, the operation time of the DAA group was longer (88.0 versus 66.8 min, P < .001). The DAA group had a better HHS and VAS pain score at 6 weeks post-surgery. However, no significant differences were observed at later time points. CONCLUSION We concluded that DAA performed better on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) than PLA in THA, while both DAA and PLA could result in a positive, similar result after 3 months. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered by the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR1900020770, 19 January 2019).

Hospital Discharge Within a Day After Total Hip Arthroplasty Does Not Compromise 1-Year Outcomes Compared With Rapid Discharge: An Analysis of an Insurance Claims Database. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:S107-S112. [PMID: 31785964 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.10.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As health care costs continue to rise, same-day and rapid discharge have become popular options for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it remains unclear if there is a difference between within-a-day discharge and early discharge for 1-year clinical outcomes. METHODS Data were collected from the Humana insurance database using the PearlDiver Patient Records Database from 2007 to 2017, identifying patients receiving a primary THA. Patients were then stratified into three groups: (1) discharge within a day (length of stay [LOS] <24 hours), (2) rapid discharge (LOS: 1-2 days), and (3) traditional discharge (LOS: 3-4 days). The outcomes assessed were all-cause revision surgery, periprosthetic joint infection, prosthetic loosening, prosthetic dislocation, and periprosthetic fracture at 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS In total, 40,038 patients met inclusion criteria. Among those, 754 (1.88%) patients were discharged within a day, 13,670 (34.14%) patients were in the rapid discharge cohort, and 25,614 (63.97%) patients were in the traditional discharge cohort. After multivariate analysis, no significant differences were observed between the within-a-day discharge group and either the rapid discharge or the traditional discharge group. Rapid discharge patients were at decreased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (odds ratios: 0.747, 95% confidence interval: 0.623-0.896) and readmission (odds ratios: 0.778; 95% confidence interval: 0.735-0.824, P < .001) compared with traditional discharge patients. CONCLUSIONS No significant differences were observed in the one-year outcomes of primary THA between within-a-day discharge patients, rapid discharge, and traditional discharge. For those that qualify after careful selection, outpatient THA might be a feasible alternative to the traditional inpatient THA.

Abstract
Opioids are routinely prescribed to manage acute postoperative pain, but changes in postoperative opioid prescribing associated with the marketing of long-acting opioids such as OxyContin have not been described in the surgical cohort. Methods Using a large commercial claims data set, we studied postoperative opioid prescribing after selected common surgical procedures between 1994 and 2014. For each procedure and year, we calculated the mean postoperative morphine milligram equivalents (MME) filled on the index prescription and assessed the proportion of patients who filled a high-dose prescription (≥350 MME). We reported changes in postoperative opioid prescribing over time and identified predictors of filling a high-dose postoperative opioid prescription. Results We identified 1,321,264 adult patients undergoing selected common surgical procedures between 1994 and 2014, of whom 80.3% filled a postoperative opioid prescription. One in five surgery patients filled a high-dose postoperative opioid prescription. Between 1994 and 2014, the mean MME filled increased by 145%, 84%, and 85% for lumbar laminectomy/laminotomy, total knee arthroplasty, and total hip arthroplasty, respectively. The procedures most likely to be associated with a high-dose opioid fill were all orthopaedic procedures (AOR 5.20 to 7.55, P < 0.001 for all). Patients whose postoperative opioid prescription included a long-acting formulation had the highest odds of filling a prescription that exceeded 350 MME (AOR 32.01, 95% CI, 30.23-33.90). Discussion After the US introduction of long-acting opioids such as OxyContin, postoperative opioid prescribing in commercially insured patients increased in parallel with broader US opioid-prescribing trends, most notably among patients undergoing orthopaedic surgical procedures. The increase in the mean annual MME filled starting in the late 1990s was driven in part by the higher proportion of long-acting opioid formulations on the index postoperative opioid prescription filled by orthopaedic surgery patients.

Abstract
Abstract Recent advancements in arthroplasty surgical techniques and perioperative protocols have reduced the duration of hospitalization and length of recovery, allowing surgeons to perform joint replacement as an outpatient procedure. This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and safety of outpatient hip resurfacing. Two experienced surgeons performed 485 resurfacing surgeries. We retrospectively compared clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction with published outpatient total hip results. Furthermore, we compared average insurance reimbursement with that of local inpatient hip replacement. No major complications occurred within 6 weeks. Of the 39 patients with previous inpatient experience, 37 (95%) believed their outpatient experience was superior. The average reimbursement for hip arthroplasty at local hospitals was $50,000, while the average payment for outpatient resurfacing at our surgery center was $26,000. We conclude that outpatient hip resurfacing can be accomplished safely, with high patient satisfaction, and at a tremendous financial savings to the insurer/patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preemptive multimodal analgesia (PMA) is a commonly used technique to control pain following total joint arthroplasty. PMA protocols use multiple analgesics immediately preoperatively to prevent central sensitization and amplification of pain during surgery. While benefits of some individual components of a PMA protocol have been established, there are little data to support inclusion or exclusion of opioids in this context. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 550 patients undergoing elective, primary total joint arthroplasty at a single institution using a standardized preoperative perioperative protocol. Two hundred seventy-five patients received oxycodone in addition to a standard multimodal preoperative analgesia regimen just before surgery and were compared to a matched cohort of 275 patients who received the standard regimen alone. Outcome measures included inpatient visual analog scale pain scores, inpatient opioid consumption, length of stay, and ambulation distance with physical therapy. RESULTS Patients who received opioids in preoperative holding reported significantly greater visual analog scale pain scores on postoperative day 1 (3.7 vs 3.1; P = .01), when compared to those who did not. These patients also walked shorter distances on postoperative day 0 (59.5' vs 125.7'; P < .001) and consumed greater morphine equivalents per hospital day over the course of their hospital stay (52.2 vs 37.2 mg; P < .001). These differences remained significant when stratified by procedure, total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty. Differences in pain and function between groups were more pronounced in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty than those undergoing total knee arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Total joint patients who were given preemptive opioids immediately before surgery experienced more pain, consumed more postoperative opioids, and exhibited impaired early function as compared to those who were not given preemptive opioids. Orthopedic surgeons should reconsider routine use of preemptive opioids in this context.

Abstract
Background From a clinical perspective, it is important to understand the outcomes that occur after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and do these vary with surgical approach. The objective of the study was to compare physical performance-based and patient-report outcomes between the Direct Anterior (DA) and Direct Lateral (DL) surgical approach at one-year after THA surgery. Methods We evaluated patients attending their one-year follow-up assessment after primary elective unilateral THA surgery for osteoarthritis of the hip. The Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, Falls Risk in Older People in a Community Setting, Timed Up and Go Test, 30-Second Chair Stand Test, Step Test, 6-Meter Walk Test, Harris Hip Score (HHS), Short-form 12 and the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were assessed. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated to evaluate the statistical difference between groups and the magnitude of the effects. Results In total, 135 individuals met the inclusion criteria and participated in the study. A statistically significant and clinically important difference in favor of the DA was found for the WOMAC (0.60, 95% CI (0.25, 0.95), p = .004), SF-12 Physical component (0.42, 95% CI (0.07, 0.76), p = .01) and 6-Meter Walk Test (0.52, 95% CI (-0.86, -0.17), p = .009). Small effect sizes, though not statistically significant differences, were found in favor of the DA approach for the other patient-report and physical performance-based measures. Conclusion The WOMAC, gait speed and SF-12 Physical component scores were significantly different in favor of the DA procedure at one-year after THA. However, only the WOMAC scores exceeded a clinically important threshold in favor of DA approach. The other self-report and physical performance measures were not significantly different between the two procedures at one-year postoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis were used to directly evaluate the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach (PA) for early efficacy and safety of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Control-led trials assessing DAA and PA for the efficacy and safety of THA were searched in the database. Articles were reviewed according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria; the quality of the methodology included in a given study was strictly assessed before data extraction. Moreover, meta-analysis was performed for outcomes that can be combined; otherwise, descriptive analysis was performed. RESULTS There were 20 articles included, with a total of 7377 patients. Among these, 3728 and 3649 cases were in the DAA and PA groups, respectively. There was no difference between the DAA and PA groups at postoperative week 2 in the number of patients using the assistive ambulatory device or in time needed to completely discontinue all assistive ambulatory devices. Descriptive analysis found that DAA was slightly better than PA regarding early functional recovery and activity after surgery, as well as postoperative pain relief. Hospitalisation stay in the DAA group was shorter than in the PA group, in which the patients had a shorter operative time. Radiographic outcomes showed that there was little difference in prosthetic position between the DAA and PA groups. The proportions of intraoperative fractures and postoperative lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (LCNT) neuropraxia were significantly higher in the DAA group than in patients who underwent PA. CONCLUSION Compared with PA, DAA presents superior early recovery following THA.

Abstract
Purpose It is important for patients of working age to resume work after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). A higher preoperative level of physical activity is presumed to lead to a better or faster recovery. Aim is to examine the association between preoperative physical activity (PA) level (total and leisure-time) and time to return-to-work (RTW). Methods A prospective multicenter survey study. Time to RTW was defined as the length of time (days) from surgery to RTW. PA level was assessed with the SQUASH questionnaire. Questionnaires were filled in before surgery and 6 weeks and 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery. Multiple regression analyses were conducted separately for THA and TKA patients. Results 243 patients were enrolled. Median age was 56 years; 58% had undergone a THA. Median time to RTW was 85 (THA) and 93 (TKA) days. In the multiple regression analysis, neither preoperative total PA level nor leisure-time PA level were significantly associated with time to RTW. Conclusions Preoperative physical activity level is not associated with a shorter time to RTW in either THA or TKA patients. Neither preoperative total PA level nor leisure-time PA level showed an association with time to RTW, even after adjusting for covariates. Trial registry Dutch Trial Register: NTR3497.

Abstract
Multimodal analgesia (MMA) is the simultaneous use of multiple analgesic medications that work in a synergistic manner to provide pain control. In recent years, spine surgery has seen the growth of multimodal perioperative protocols for managing pain. Postoperative pain following spinal procedures is a common complaint, with persistent pain even after the immediate convalescent period leading to negative impacts on health. A multidisciplinary approach is essential in reducing postoperative morbidity and complication rates. This review demonstrates the efficacy in the combined use of opioid-alternative medications such as NSAIDs, gabapentinoids, local anesthetics, acetaminophen, and other neuromodulatory pharmacologic agents. Continued research will be essential in the optimization of the MMA protocol for treating patients who undergo spine procedures.

Abstract
Multiple surgical approaches have been used successfully for total hip arthroplasty. Minimally invasive surgery, defined by the length of the incision, has been associated with less blood loss and shorter length of stay compared with conventional total hip arthroplasty. Differences in early functional outcomes, as well as the risk of early and long-term complications, have been observed between different anatomic surgical approaches. However, no single surgical approach has been established that achieves both the shortest functional recovery and the lowest rate of complications after total hip arthroplasty.

Outpatient Joint Arthroplasty-Patient Selection: Update on the Outpatient Arthroplasty Risk Assessment Score. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:S40-S43. [PMID: 30738619 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2018] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Outpatient Arthroplasty Risk Assessment (OARA) score was designed to identify patients medically appropriate for same- and next-day discharge after surgery. The purpose of this study was to update and confirm the greater predictive utility of the OARA score in relation to American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) classification for same-day discharge and to identify the optimal preoperative OARA score for safe patient selection for outpatient surgery. METHODS The perioperative medical records of 2051 primary total joint arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon at an academic tertiary care hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Six statistical measures were calculated to examine OARA score performance in binary classification of successful same-day discharge and preoperative OARA scores equal to 0 to 59 points (yes vs no) vs 0 to 79 points (yes vs no). RESULTS Mean OARA scores increased more sharply in magnitude with increasing length of stay, providing superior discrimination than the ASA-PS classification with respect to same-day discharge. Preoperative OARA scores up to 79 points approached the desired 100% for positive predictive value (98.8%) and specificity (99.3%) and 0% for false positive rates (0.7%). CONCLUSION The OARA score was designed to err in the direction of medical safety, and OARA scores between 0 and 79 are conservatively highly effective for identifying patients who can safely elect to undergo outpatient total joint arthroplasty. The ASA-PS classification does not provide sufficient discrimination for safely selecting patients for outpatient arthroplasty.

Abstract
Background: Outpatient (<24 hour stay) total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has emerged as an alternative to traditional inpatient TJA. Patient-reported outcomes in the past have revealed favorable comparisons with inpatient controls. However, a higher outpatient TJA readmission rate has been reported. The goal of our study is to report outcomes, readmissions, and unplanned access to care data on the first 1,000 TJAs performed at a de novo ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Methods: From March 2014 to May 2016, a consecutive series of 1,000 primary, total hip, and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were performed at a same-day surgical center. All patients were ≤66 years old, met the ASC inclusion criteria, and received preoperative training. All patients were discharged <24 hours after surgery to postoperative care suites. Oxford scores, visual analog scale for pain, patient satisfaction, ambulation, complication, and adverse events data were collected. Results: A consecutive series of 543 TKAs and 457 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were performed. Mean age was 57.2 years (range 28 to 66 years). The TKA patients consisted of 55.2% women, whereas THA patients consisted of 45.3% women. Overall infection rate was 0.8%. Hospital readmission rate was 1.5%, and early/unplanned access to care was 11.7%. Oxford Knee and Oxford Hip scores showed 15.7 and 21.1 point improvements, respectively, whereas pain scores improved 71% for TKA and 81% for THA at 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Our immediate and short-term complications, readmissions, and outcomes for all patients compared favorably with published inpatient data. This study provides baseline data for quality metrics and functional outcomes for ASC-based total joint procedures.

Abstract
Background The direct anterior approach (DAA) has gained popularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the past decade. A large number of studies have compared the DAA to other approaches with inclusion of a learning curve phase. The aim of this study was to compare the complication rate and bleeding between the DAA and the anterolateral approach after the learning curve phase. Methods For this retrospective, single-institutional study, propensity score matching was performed, from an initial cohort of 1408 patients receiving an elective THA. Two matching groups were created, comprising of 396 patients each. After matching, both groups were similar in age, gender, body mass index, anesthesiologist’s score and surgeon’s experience. Results Average age in the matched groups was 68.7 ± 10.3 years. The total blood loss was similar in both groups, 450 vs 469 mL (p = 0.400), whereas the transfusion rate (14.1 vs 5.8%, p < 0.001) and the overall complication rate (17.6 vs 12.1%, p = 0.018) were lower in the DAA group. The overall fracture rate was comparable, 1.5 vs 1% (p = 0.376), as well as the early infection rate, 0.3 vs 1% (p = 0.162). The dislocation rate was significantly increased in the DAA group, 2.2 vs 0.5% (p = 0.032). Conclusions The direct anterior approach has comparable short-term surgical complications with reduced transfusion and general complication rates. Level of evidence Level III retrospective study.

Abstract
Orthopaedic procedures can affect patients' ability to perform activities of daily living, such as driving automobiles or other vehicles that require coordinated use of the upper and lower extremities. Many variables affect the time needed before a patient can drive competently after undergoing orthopaedic surgery to the extremities. These variables include whether the patient underwent upper or lower extremity surgery, the country in which the patient resides, whether the right or left lower extremity is involved, whether the dominant arm is involved, whether the extremity is in a cast or brace, whether the patient has adequate strength to control the steering wheel, and whether the patient is taking pain medication. The type and complexity of the procedure also influence the speed of return of driving ability. Few studies provide definitive data on driving ability after upper or lower extremity surgery. Patients should be counseled not to drive until they can control the steering wheel and the pedals competently and can drive well enough to prevent further harm to themselves or to others. This review discusses the limited recommendations in the literature regarding driving motorized vehicles after upper or lower extremity orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful procedure to treat end-stage hip osteoarthritis. The procedure is increasingly performed in adults of working age, who often wish to return to sports (RTS) and return to work (RTW). However, a systematic overview of the evidence on RTS and RTW after THA is lacking. Objectives Our aim was to systematically review (1) the extent to which patients RTS and RTW after THA, including (2) the time to RTS and RTW. Methods We searched MEDLINE and Embase from inception until October 2017. Two authors screened and extracted the data, including study information, patient demographics, rehabilitation protocols and pre- and postoperative sports and work participation. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. Data on pre- and postoperative sports and work participation were pooled using descriptive statistics. Results A total of 37 studies were included, of which seven were prospective studies and 30 were retrospective studies. Methodological quality was high in 11 studies, moderate in 16 studies, and low in ten studies. RTS was reported in 14 studies. Mean RTS was 104% to the pre-surgery level and 82% to the pre-symptomatic sports level. Time to RTS varied from 16 to 28 weeks. RTW was reported in 23 studies; the mean was 69%. Time to RTW varied from 1 to 17 weeks. Conclusion A great majority of patients RTS and RTW after THA within a timeframe of 28 and 17 weeks, respectively. For the increasingly younger THA population, this is valuable information that can be used in the preoperative shared decision-making process.

Abstract
Opioid use and abuse has become a national crisis in the United States. Many opioid abusers become addicted through an initial course of legal, physician-prescribed medications. Consequently, there has been increased pressure on medical care providers to be better stewards of these medications. In orthopedic surgery and total joint arthroplasty, pain control after surgery is critical for restoring mobility and maintaining patient satisfaction in the early postoperative period. Before the opioid misuse epidemic, orthopedic surgeons were frequently influenced to "treat pain with pain medications." Long-acting opioids, such as OxyContin were used commonly. In the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in favor of multimodal pain control with limited opioid use. This review will discuss 4 major topics. First, we will describe the pressures on orthopedic surgeons to prescribe narcotic pain medications. We will then discuss the major and minor complications and side effects associated with these prescriptions. Second, we will review how these factors motivated the development of alternative pain management strategies and a multimodal approach. Third, we will look at perioperative interventions that can reduce postoperative opioid consumption, including wound injections and peripheral nerve blocks, which have shown superb clinical results. Finally, we will recommend an evidence-based program that avoids parenteral narcotics and facilitates rapid discharge home without readmissions for pain-related complaints.

Abstract
Background Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is trending toward shorter hospitalizations; as a result, there are many ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) starting to perform outpatient TJA. However, there are limited studies examining the safety of outpatient TJA in the freestanding ASC setting. This study aims to evaluate 30-day and 90-day complication rates in patients who underwent outpatient TJA at a freestanding, independent ASC with direct discharge to home. Methods A retrospective cohort review using health records was performed on the first 115 TJAs performed between August 2015 and March 2017 by one of the 4 orthopedic surgeons. Before the first TJA, the ASC had developed a multidisciplinary TJA pathway. Results Of the 115 TJAs, 37 (32%) were total hip arthroplasties (THAs), 53 (46%) total knee arthroplasties (TKAs), and 25 (22%) unicompartmental knee arthroplasties, with a mean age of 57 ± 7 years and body mass index of 30 ± 5 kg/m2. There were no intraoperative or direct ASC-related complications. There was 1 instance (0.9%) of a postoperative minimally displaced intertrochanteric femur fracture after THA due to a fall treated nonoperatively complication within 30 days of surgery. Of the 90-day complication events, there were 2 patients (2%) with postoperative arthrofibrosis of the knee after TKA requiring manipulation under anesthesia, 1 postoperative patellar tendon rupture during therapy after TKA requiring surgical repair and 1 delayed hematogenous infection after international travel after THA requiring 2-staged exchange. Conclusions Outpatient TJA with discharge to home at a freestanding, independent ASC is a safe option after development of a multidisciplinary TJA pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is growing rapidly because of the proven success of these procedures and an increase in the aging population. However, resources are limited and health-care budgets are finite. Recently, a number of care providers have started performing these procedures on an outpatient basis, with the patients being discharged from the hospital on the day of surgery. The primary objective of this systematic review was to examine the evidence regarding the safety and feasibility of performing THA, TKA, or UKA on an outpatient basis. METHODS An electronic search of 3 online databases (Embase, MEDLINE, and HealthSTAR) was conducted to identify eligible studies. The reference lists of identified articles were then screened. All studies evaluating outcomes following outpatient THA, TKA, or UKA were included. Eligible articles that included a comparative group were assessed for methodological quality with use of the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions (ACROBAT-NRSI). Non-comparative studies were assessed for quality with use of the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Instrument. RESULTS The electronic literature search yielded 805 articles. Following a review of the titles, abstracts and reference lists, 26 articles remained and were assessed for eligibility. Of those, 17 articles (≈79,500 patients) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Although both quality-assessment tools showed that the majority of studies included in the review were of poor quality, there was no increase in readmission rates or perioperative complications among patients who underwent outpatient procedures. Studies assessing satisfaction illustrated a high level of satisfaction for the majority of patients. The average age of the patients in the THA studies ranged from 53.5 to 63 years. The TKA and UKA studies included an older population, with mean ages ranging from 55 to 68 years. The majority of the included studies included a larger percentage of males as compared with females. Of the 17 included studies, 4 were cohort studies with a control group and 13 were case series. All 4 cohort studies indicated that the complication rates and clinical outcomes were similar between the inpatient and outpatient groups. Furthermore, the 3 studies that involved an economic analysis indicated that outpatient arthroplasty is financially advantageous. CONCLUSIONS In selected patients, outpatient THA, TKA, and UKA can be performed safely and effectively. The included studies lacked sufficient internal validity, sample size, methodological consistency, and standardization of protocols and outcomes. There is a need for high-quality prospective cohort and randomized trials to definitively assess the safety and effectiveness of outpatient THA, TKA, and UKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. There are a number of surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty and no high-level evidence supporting one approach over the other. Each approach has its unique benefits and drawbacks. This trial aims to directly compare the three most common surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty. METHODS/DESIGN This is a single-centre study conducted at Western Health, Melbourne, Australia; a large metropolitan centre. It is a pragmatic, parallel three-arm, randomised controlled trial. Sample size will be 243 participants (81 in each group). Randomisation will be secure, web-based and managed by an independent statistician. Patients and research team will be blinded pre-operatively, but not post-operatively. Intervention will be either direct anterior, lateral or posterior approach for total hip arthroplasty, and the three arms will be directly compared. Participants will be aged over 18 years, able to provide informed consent and recruited from our outpatients. Patients who are having revision surgery or have indications for hip replacement other than osteoarthritis (i.e., fracture, malignancy, development dysplasia) will be excluded from the trial. The Oxford Hip Score will be determined for patients pre-operatively and 6 weeks, 6, 12 and 24 months post-operatively. The Oxford Hip Score at 24 months will be the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures will be dislocation, infection, intraoperative and peri-prosthetic fracture rate, length of hospital stay and pain level, reported using a visual analogue scale. DISCUSSION Many studies have evaluated approaches for total hip arthroplasty and arthroplasty registries worldwide are now collecting this data. However no study to date has compared these three common approaches directly in a randomised fashion. No trial has used patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate success. This pragmatic study aims to identify differences in patient perception of total hip arthroplasty depending on surgical approach.

Abstract
Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has demonstrated tremendous benefits to patients with osteoarthritis. Health care reform has influenced surgeons to optimize TJA care pathways as well as playing a role in the formation of outpatient TJA protocols. Understanding the outcomes of outpatient TJA is imperative to surgical predicate decision making. The aim of this review is to compare outcomes of outpatient TJA patients to standard-stay inpatients. Postoperative outcomes assessed include pain, complications, readmissions, reoperation, patient satisfaction, and cost.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As length of stay decreases for total joint arthroplasty, much of the patient preparation and teaching previously done in the hospital must be performed before surgery. However, the most effective form of preparation is unknown. This randomized trial evaluated the effect of a one-time, one-on-one preoperative physical therapy education session coupled with a web-based microsite (preopPTEd) on patients' readiness to discharge from physical therapy (PT), length of hospital stay, and patient-reported functional outcomes after total joint arthroplasty. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Was this one-on-one preoperative PT education session coupled with a web- based microsite associated with (1) earlier achievement of readiness to discharge from PT; (2) a reduced hospital length of stay; and (3) improved WOMAC scores 4 to 6 weeks after surgery? METHODS Between February and June 2015, 126 typical arthroplasty patients underwent unilateral TKA or THA. As per our institution's current guidelines, all patients attended a preoperative group education class taught by a multidisciplinary team comprising a nurse educator, social worker, and physical therapist. Patients were then randomized into two groups. One group (control; n = 63) received no further education after the group education class, whereas the intervention group (experimental; n = 63) received preopPTEd. The preopPTEd consisted of a one-time, one-on-one session with a physical therapist to learn and practice postoperative precautions, exercises, bed mobility, and ambulation with and negotiation of stairs. After this session, all patients in the preopPTEd group were given access to a lateralized, joint-specific microsite that provided detailed information regarding exercises, transfers, ambulation, and activities of daily living through videos, pictures, and text. Outcome measures assessed included readiness to discharge from PT, which was calculated by adding the number of postoperative inpatient PT visits patients had to meet PT milestones. Hospital length of stay (LOS) was assessed for hospital discharge criteria and 6-week WOMAC scores were gathered by study personnel. At our institution, to meet PT milestones for hospital discharge criteria, patients have to be able to (1) independently transfer in and out of bed, a chair, and a toilet seat; (2) independently ambulate approximately 150 feet; (3) independently negotiate stairs; and (4) be independent with a home exercise program and activities of daily living. Complete followup was available on 100% of control group patients and 100% patients in the intervention group for all three outcome measures (control and intervention of 63, respectively). RESULTS The preopPTEd group had fewer postoperative inpatient PT visits (mean, 3.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0-3.6 versus 4.4; 95% CI, 4.1-4.7; p < 0.001) and achieved readiness to discharge from PT faster (mean, 1.6 days; 95% CI, 1.2-1.9 days versus 2.7 days; 95% CI, 2.4-3.0; p < 0.001) than the control group. There was no difference in hospital LOS between the preopPTEd group and the control group (2.4 days; 95% CI, 2.1-2.6; p = 0.082 versus 2.6 days; 95% CI, 2.4-2.8; p = 0.082). There were no clinically relevant differences in 6-week WOMAC scores between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Although this protocol resulted in improved readiness to discharge from PT, there was no effect on LOS or WOMAC scores at 6 weeks. Preoperative PT was successful in improving one of the contributors to LOS and by itself is insufficient to make a difference in LOS. This study highlights the need for improvement in other aspects of care to improve LOS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discharge from the hospital on the day of (same-day) hip and knee arthroplasties has become more common; however, to our knowledge, few studies have compared morbidity between same-day and inpatient surgical procedures. The aims of this study were to compare matched cohorts of patients who underwent same-day and inpatient hip or knee arthroplasty in terms of postoperative complications and 30-day readmission rates. METHODS Patients who underwent primary elective total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty from 2005 to 2014 were identified from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry. Patients discharged the day of the surgical procedure were matched 1:1 with patients who had an inpatient stay using propensity scores. The rates of 30-day adverse events and readmission were compared between matched cohorts using the McNemar test. Risk factors for 30-day readmission following same-day procedures were identified using multivariate regression. RESULTS Of 177,818 patients identified, 1,236 (0.70%) underwent a same-day surgical procedure. After matching, there were no differences in overall adverse events or readmission between same-day and inpatient groups, although inpatients had increased thromboembolic events (p = 0.048) and same-day patients had an increased rate of return to the operating room (p = 0.016). When procedures were assessed individually, the only difference identified was that the same-day total knee arthroplasty cohort had an increased return to the operating room compared with the inpatient total knee arthroplasty cohort (p = 0.046). Body mass index of ≥35 kg/m (p = 0.035), insulin-dependent diabetes (p = 0.041), non-insulin-dependent diabetes (p = 0.013), and age of ≥85 years (p = 0.039) were associated with 30-day readmission following same-day surgical procedures. Infection was the most common reason for reoperation and readmission following same-day procedures. CONCLUSIONS No significant differences in overall postoperative complications or readmission were found between matched cohorts of patients who underwent same-day and inpatient hip and knee arthroplasties, although inpatients had a higher rate of thromboembolic events and same-day patients had a higher rate of reoperation. Patients with a body mass index of ≥35 kg/m, diabetes, and an age of ≥85 years had an increased risk of 30-day readmission following same-day procedures, which was most commonly due to infection.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In 2005, we conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial that demonstrated that, compared with a standard incision, a minimal incision technique did not improve early outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). There was concern that reduced exposure could compromise long-term outcome. For the current study, all surviving participants were invited to return for 10-year radiographic and clinical evaluation. Outcome scores were available for 152 patients (69.4%) from the original cohort, and radiographs were available for 126 (57.5%). The median duration of follow-up was 124 months. We did not find significant differences in functional status or radiographic outcome between the minimal and standard incision groups at 10 years. The 10-year implant survival rate was 99.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 97.3% to 100%) in the standard incision group and 97.9% (95% CI = 95.1% to 100%) in the minimal incision group (p = 0.57). We concluded that minimal incision THA performed by a high-volume surgeon does not compromise long-term results but offers no benefit over a standard incision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been increasing interest in outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) in the orthopedic community, but how patients feel about outpatient TJA is unknown. The purpose of this study was to understand patient perspectives on hip and knee replacements performed in an outpatient setting. METHODS We surveyed 110 consecutive patients scheduled for primary TJA in an academic suburban arthroplasty practice regarding their knowledge and perceptions of outpatient TJA. Questionnaires were administered during preoperative clinic visits before discussion of surgery location, length of stay, and before preoperative joint replacement education. RESULTS Fifty-seven percent of respondents were female, and 42.7% were aged 65 years or older. Very few patients expected same-day discharge (n = 3) or a one night stay in the hospital (n = 17). Fifty-four percent of patients were expected to stay in the hospital two or more nights. Only 54.5% of patients were aware that outpatient TJA is an option, with 55.3% of men and 31.7% of women reporting that they were comfortable with outpatient TJA (P = .030). In contrast, 61% and 72.8% believed that faster recovery and decreased likelihood of infection are likely advantages of outpatient TJA. Interestingly, 51.9% felt ambulatory surgery centers are as safe as hospitals, and 62.6% believed that home is the best place to recovery from TJA. CONCLUSION These observations suggest that there is need for patient education regarding outpatient TJA. As outpatient procedures become more common, it is essential that patients understand the ambulatory surgery process, the benefits and risks of same day discharge, and their role in a successful outpatient experience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A previous randomized clinical trial at our institution demonstrated slower recovery of 35 2-incision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) when compared with 36 mini-posterior THAs at 2 years. The primary aim of the present study was to report concise 10-year follow-up results. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the 71 patients in the previous randomized clinical trial, comparing clinical outcomes, revisions, reoperations, and implant survivorship between the 2-incision and the mini-posterior THAs. RESULTS At the most recent follow-up, the mean Harris hip score was 85 in the 2-incision group and 87 in the mini-posterior group (P = .4). There were 4 revisions and 2 reoperations (16%) in the 2-incision group vs 1 revision and 3 reoperations (11%) in the mini-posterior group (P = .5). Ten-year survivorship free of aseptic revision or reoperation was 77% in the 2-incision group vs 90% in the mini-posterior group (P = .15). CONCLUSION There were no improvements in early or midterm clinical outcomes with the 2-incision technique. However, there was a clinical trend toward a higher rate of aseptic revisions in the 2-incision THA group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Same-day (<24 h) discharge total joint arthroplasty (TJA) may be a safe and effective option for certain patients with end-stage osteoarthritis. Given the growing pressure to improve quality and lower TJA episode costs, surgeons must identify which TJA patients can be appropriately discharged home quickly and safely. This study identifies characteristics associated with same-day discharge post-TJA as well as assesses risk factors for complications in this select patient population. METHODS Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed using perioperative variables from the 2011 to 2014 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. RESULTS In total, 7474 primary TJAs among 120,847 TJA patients were discharged within 24 h post-surgery. These patients were more likely to be younger (<50 years), male sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists class 1 or 2, and less likely to be obese or taking steroids (P < .05 for all). They were also less likely to have co-morbidities. Rates of severe adverse event (SAE) or unplanned readmission post-discharge were 1.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified age >80 (odds ratio [OR] 4.16, P = .001), smoking (OR 1.61, P = .03), bleeding-causing disorders (OR 2.56, P = .01), American Society of Anesthesiologists class 3 or 4 (OR 1.42, P < .05), and SAE pre-discharge (OR 13.13, P < .0001) as independent predictors for adverse events or readmission in this population. CONCLUSION Patient characteristics, co-morbidities, and SAEs pre-discharge can be used to assess potential for discharge within 24 h. The results of our analysis may be used to develop risk stratification tools for identification of patients that are truly appropriate for same-day discharge TJA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously described the results of a randomized controlled trial of mini-posterior vs 2-incision total hip arthroplasty and were unable to demonstrate significant differences in early outcomes. As less-invasive anterior approaches remain popular, the purpose of this report was to re-examine the outcomes at a minimum 5-year follow-up. METHODS Seventy-two patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty were randomized to a mini-posterior or 2-incision approach. Complications, revisions, and clinical outcome measures were compared. Radiographs were reviewed for implant loosening. A power analysis using a minimal clinically important difference value of 6 points for the Harris hip score revealed 28 patients required per group. RESULTS At a mean of 8.2 years (range, 5-10 years), 6 patients died without revision surgery and 63 of 66 living patients were reviewed. There were 6 total failures, 3 in each group. For unrevised patients, there were no significant differences between groups (posterior vs 2-incision) in the Harris hip score (95.5 ± 3.5 vs 95.7 ± 6.3; P = .88), 12-item Short Form Survey physical composite score (50.5 ± 8.5 vs 49.0 ± 9.1; P = .53), 12-item Short Form Survey mental composite score (57.3 ± 4.1 vs 55.4 ± 8.0; P = .25), or single assessment numeric evaluation score (97.1 ± 3.7 vs 97.8 ± 5.2; P = .55). CONCLUSION We found no differences in midterm outcomes between the 2 approaches. Given the increased complexity, operative time, and need for fluoroscopy with the 2-incision approach combined with equivalent early and midterm outcomes, the 2-incision approach has been abandoned in the senior author's practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current patient selection criteria and medical risk stratification methods for outpatient primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) surgery are unproven. This study assessed the predictive ability of a medically based risk assessment score in selecting patients for outpatient and short stay surgery. METHODS A retrospective review of 1120 consecutive primary TJAs in an early discharge program was performed. An Outpatient Arthroplasty Risk Assessment ("OARA") score was developed by a high-volume arthroplasty surgeon and perioperative internal medicine specialist to stratify patients as "low-moderate risk (≤59)" and "not appropriate" (≥60) for early discharge. OARA, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA-PS), and Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) scores were analyzed with respect to length of stay. RESULTS The positive predictive value of the OARA score was 81.6% for the same or the next day discharge, compared with that of 56.4% for ASA-PS (P < .001) and 70.3% for CCI (P = .002) scores. Patients with OARA scores ≤59 were 2.0 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-2.8) times more likely to be discharged early than those with scores ≥60 (P < .001), while a low ASA-PS score was 1.7 (95% CI, 1.2-2.3) times more likely to be discharged early (P = .001). CCI did not predict early discharge (P ≥ .301). With deliberate patient education and expectations for outpatient discharge, the odds of early discharge predicted by the OARA score, but not the ASA-PS score, increased to 2.7 (95% CI, 1.7-4.2). CONCLUSION The OARA score for primary TJA has more precise predictive ability than the ASA-PS and CCI scores for the same or next day discharge and is enhanced with a robust patient education program to establish appropriate expectations for early discharge. Early results suggest that the OARA score can successfully facilitate appropriate patient selection for outpatient TJA, although consideration of clinical program maturity before adoption of the score is advised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Safety data for outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains scarce. METHODS The present study retrospectively reviews prospectively collected data from the 2005-2014 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database. Patients who underwent THA were categorized by day of hospital discharge to be outpatient (length of stay [LOS] 0 days) or inpatient (LOS 1-5 days). Those with extended LOS beyond 5 days were excluded. To account for baseline nonrandom assignment between the study groups, propensity score matching was used. The propensity matched populations were then compared with multivariate Poisson regression to compare the relative risks of adverse events during the initial 30 postoperative days including readmission. RESULTS A total of 63,844 THA patients were identified. Of these, 420 (0.66%) were performed as outpatients and 63,424 (99.34%) had LOS 1-5 days. Outpatients tended to be younger, male, and to have fewer comorbidities. After propensity score matching, outpatients had no difference in any of 18 adverse events evaluated other than blood transfusion, which was less for outpatients than those with a LOS of 1-5 days (3.69% vs 9.06%, P < .001). CONCLUSION After adjusting for potential confounders using propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regression, patients undergoing outpatient THA were not at greater risk of 30 days adverse events or readmission than those that were performed as inpatient procedures. Based on the general health outcome measures assessed, this data supports the notion that outpatient THA can appropriately be considered in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
Objective One-stage bilateral, muscle-preserving, calcar-guided implantation technique through the modified minimally invasive anterolateral approach in supine position. Indications Bilateral primary/secondary osteoarthritis of the hip; bilateral femoral head necrosis; ASA I–III. Contraindications ASA IV; severe osteoporosis, other factors jeopardizing stable anchorage of cementless, calcar-guided short-stem; infection. Surgical technique Supine position. Skin incision. Opening of fascia; blunt dissection, pushing gluteal muscles dorsally with the index finger. Capsulectomy. Individual osteotomy according to preoperative plan to determine short-stem position. Remove femoral head. Prepare acetabulum. Position cup. Femoral preparation with the curved opening awl. Spare greater trochanter and gluteal muscles. Insert trial rasps in ascending sizes with “round-the-corner” technique. Select offset version, then trial reposition with intraoperative radiograph and implantation of the definitive implant. Wound closure. Consultation with the anesthesiologist to confirm a stable patient. Same procedure on contralateral hip. Postoperative management Mobilization on day 1 with immediate full weight bearing. Remove wound drains and urinary catheter (only female patients) on day 2. Intensive protocol of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Thrombosis prophylaxis. Rehabilitation from day 7. Results Almost 500 patients have undergone surgery since 2010. First consecutive 54 patients (108 hips) prospectively evaluated. After 2 years, Harris Hip Score was 98.8; satisfaction on visual analogue scale was 9.9. Low peri- and postoperative complication rates; no implant revisions. Conclusion The muscle-sparing approach and the special “round-the-corner” technique in one-stage bilateral procedure leads to rapid mobilization and rehabilitation with excellent early clinical results and high satisfaction rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Length of stay after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has decreased over the last two decades. However, published studies that have examined same-day and early discharge protocols after THA have been done in highly selected patient groups operated on by senior surgeons in a nonrandomized fashion without control subjects. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare patients undergoing THA who are discharged on the same day as the surgery ("outpatient," less than 12-hour stay) with those who are discharged after an overnight hospital stay ("inpatient") with regard to the following outcomes: (1) postoperative pain; (2) perioperative complications and healthcare provider visits (readmission, emergency department or physician office); and (3) relative work effort for the surgeon's office staff. METHODS A prospective, randomized study was conducted at two high-volume adult reconstruction centers between July 2014 and September 2015. Patients who were younger than 75 years of age at surgery, who could ambulate without a walker, who were not on chronic opioids, and whose body mass index was less than 40 kg/m2 were invited to participate. All patients had a primary THA performed by the direct anterior approach with spinal anesthesia at a hospital facility. Study data were evaluated using an intention-to-treat analysis. A total of 220 patients participated, of whom 112 were randomized to the outpatient group and 108 were randomized to the inpatient group. Of the 112 patients randomized to outpatient surgery, 85 (76%) were discharged as planned. Of the remaining 27 patients, 26 were discharged after one night in the hospital and one was discharged after two nights. Of the 108 patients randomized to inpatient surgery with an overnight hospital stay, 81 (75%) were discharged as planned. Of the remaining 27 patients, 18 met the discharge criteria on the day of their surgery and elected to leave the same day, whereas nine patients stayed two or more nights. RESULTS On the day of surgery, there was no difference in visual analog scale (VAS) pain among patients who were randomized to discharge on the same day and those who were randomized to remain in the hospital overnight (outpatient 2.8 ± 2.5, inpatient 3.3 ± 2.3, mean difference -0.5, 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.1 to 0.1, p = 0.12). On the first day after surgery, outpatients had higher VAS pain (at home) than inpatients (3.7 ± 2.3 versus 2.8 ± 2.1, mean difference 0.9, 95% CI, 0.3-1.5, p = 0.005). With the numbers available, there was no difference in the number of reoperations, hospital readmissions without reoperation, emergency department visits without hospital readmission, or acute office visits. At 4-week followup, there was no difference in the number of phone calls and emails with the surgeon's office (outpatient: 2.4 ± 1.9, inpatient: 2.4 ± 2.2, mean difference 0, 95% CI, -0.5 to 0.6, p = 0.94). CONCLUSIONS Outpatient THA can be implemented in a defined patient population without requiring additional work for the surgeon's office. Because 24% (27 of 112) of patients planning to have outpatient surgery were not able to be discharged the same day, facilities to accommodate an overnight stay should be available. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level I, therapeutic study.

Abstract
This article describes a study comparing 30-day readmission rates between patients undergoing outpatient versus inpatient total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty. A retrospective review of 137 patients undergoing outpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and 106 patients undergoing inpatient (minimum 2-day hospital stay) TJA was conducted. Unplanned hospital readmissions and unplanned episodes of care were recorded. All patients completed a telephone survey. Seven inpatients and 16 outpatients required hospital readmission or an unplanned episode of care following hospital discharge. Readmission rates were higher for TKA than THA. The authors found no statistical differences in 30-day readmission or unplanned care episodes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During surgery, trauma to musculoskeletal tissue induces a systemic reaction known as the acute phase response (APR). When excessive or prolonged, the APR has been implicated as an underlying cause of surgical complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the typical APR following total joint arthroplasty in a healthy population defined by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). METHODS This retrospective study identified 180 healthy patients (CCI < 2) who underwent total joint arthroplasty by a single surgeon for primary osteoarthritis from 2013 to 2015. Serial measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen were obtained preoperative, perioperative, and at 2 and 6 weeks postoperative. RESULTS Postoperative CRP peaked during the inpatient period and returned to baseline by 2 weeks. Fibrinogen peaked after CRP and returned to baseline by 6 weeks. Elevated preoperative CRP correlated with a more robust postoperative APR for both total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty, suggesting that a patient's preoperative inflammatory state correlates with the magnitude of the postoperative APR. CONCLUSION Measurement of preoperative acute phase reactants may provide an objective means to predict a patient's risk of postoperative dysregulation of the APR and complications.

[PMID: 27492688 PMCID: PMC5085934 DOI: 10.1007/s11999-016-5007-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2016] [Accepted: 07/25/2016] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients often ask their doctors when they can safely return to driving after orthopaedic injuries and procedures, but the data regarding this topic are diverse and sometimes conflicting. Some studies provide observer-reported outcome measures, such as brake response time or simulators, to estimate when patients can safely resume driving after surgery, and patient survey data describing when patients report a return to driving, but they do not all agree. We performed a systematic review and quality appraisal for available data regarding when patients are safe to resume driving after common orthopaedic surgeries and injuries affecting the ability to drive. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Based on the available evidence, we sought to determine when patients can safely return to driving after (1) lower extremity orthopaedic surgery and injuries; (2) upper extremity orthopaedic surgery and injuries; and (3) spine surgery. METHODS A search was performed using PubMed and EMBASE®, with a list of 20 common orthopaedic procedures and the words "driving" and "brake". Selection criteria included any article that evaluated driver safety or time to driving after major orthopaedic surgery or immobilization using observer-reported outcome measures or survey data. A total of 446 articles were identified from the initial search, 48 of which met inclusion criteria; abstract-only publications and non-English-language articles were not included. The evidence base includes data for driving safety on foot, ankle, spine, and leg injuries, knee and shoulder arthroscopy, hip and knee arthroplasty, carpal tunnel surgery, and extremity immobilization. Thirty-four of the articles used observer-reported outcome measures such as total brake time, brake response time, driving simulator, and standardized driving track results, whereas the remaining 14 used survey data. RESULTS Observer-reported outcome measures of total brake time, brake response time, and brake force postoperatively suggested patients reached presurgical norms 4 weeks after right-sided procedures such as TKA, THA, and ACL reconstruction and approximately 1 week after left-sided TKA and THA. The collected survey data suggest patients resumed driving 1 month after right-sided and left-sided TKAs. Patients who had THA reported returning to driving between 6 days and 3 months postoperatively. Observer-reported outcome measures showed that patients' driving abilities often are impaired when wearing an immobilizing cast above or below the elbow or a shoulder sling on their dominant arm. Patients reported a return to driving on average 2 months after rotator cuff repair procedures and approximately 1-3 months postoperatively for total shoulder arthroplasties. Most patients with spine surgery had normal brake response times at the time of hospital discharge. Patients reported driving 6 weeks after total disc arthroplasty and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedures. CONCLUSIONS The available evidence provides a best-case scenario for when patients can return to driving. It is important for observer-reported outcome measures to have normalized before a patient can consider driving, but other factors such as strength, ROM, and use of opioid analgesics need to be considered. This review can provide a guideline for when physicians can begin to consider evaluating these other factors and discussing a return to driving with patients. Survey data suggest that patients are returning to driving before observer-reported outcome measures have normalized, indicating that physicians should tell patients to wait longer before driving. Further research is needed to correlate observer-reported outcome measures with adverse events, such as motor vehicle accidents, and clinical tests that can be performed in the office. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since years a discussion is held on the best approach to perform total hip replacement (THR). Risk of dislocation, abductor weakness and a possible difference in rehabilitation are mentioned. We performed this study to objectify that the use of the direct anterior approach (DAA) results in a faster rehabilitation after THR compared to the non-DAA (posterolateral and anterolateral) approach. METHODS A single centre prospective cohort study was conducted. Pre- and 16-weeks postoperative completed PROMs like the VAS, PSC, GPE and HOOS were analyzed. A leg press and power test were performed. Functional capacity was determined by the TUG and the 6MWT. RESULTS A total of 119 patients were included for analysis: 87 in the DAA group, 32 in the non-DAA group. There were no differences in general baseline characteristics. The length of stay was significant (p = .000) shorter in the DAA group. At 16 weeks, the DAA group showed a significant greater improvement with respect to the VAS and HOOS. Also significant differences for all strength, power and functional capacity parameters between the pre- and postoperative measurements were found. A subgroup analysis at 6-weeks postoperative showed significant improvements in the TUG (p = .009) and 6MWT (p = .009) in the DAA group, but not in the non-DAA group. CONCLUSION PROMs, strength, power and functional capacity tests show significant improvement in all approaches after THR. There seems to be a small advantage in favour of the DAA, in particular directly postoperative and the first postoperative weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the effect of mobilization on the day of surgery on the readiness for discharge and length of stay after elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS We devised a randomized control trial with concealed allocation and intention-to-treat analysis. Overall, 126 patients who underwent THA and met the criteria for mobilization on the day of surgery were randomly allocated into 2 groups; the intervention group was mobilized on the day of surgery, n = 58 and the control group was mobilized on the day after surgery, n = 68. Apart from timing of mobilization, both groups received the same postoperative management. The primary outcome measures were length of hospital stay and time to readiness for discharge. RESULTS The early mobilization group was ready for discharge 63 hours (standard deviation [SD] = 15 hours) after surgery, compared to 70 hours (SD = 18 hours) for the control group (P = .03, 95% CI, 0.7-12.8). There was no significant difference in hospital stay in the early mobilization group (77 hours [SD = 30 hours]), compared to the control group (87 hours [SD = 35 hours]; P = .11, 95% CI, -2.1 to 21.6). Despite this at any point in time after the surgery, the intervention group was 1.8 times (P = .003, 95% CI, = 1.2-2.7) more likely to have been discharged. CONCLUSION Mobilization on the day of THA surgery significantly increases the probability of discharge at any singular point in time compared with mobilization on the day after surgery and decreases the time to readiness for discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy exists as to which surgical approach is best for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Previous studies suggested that the tissue-sparing anterior approach should result in a more rapid recovery requiring fewer postacute services, ultimately decreasing overall episodic cost. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine if any significant differences exist between the anterior vs posterior approaches on postacute care service utilization, readmissions, or episodic cost. METHODS Claims data from 26,773 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries receiving elective THAs (Medical Severity-Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) 469/470) were analyzed. Claims data were collected from the 2-year period, January 2013 through December 2014. The posterior surgical approach was performed on 23,653 patients while 3120 patients received the anterior approach. RESULTS Data analysis showed negligible effect sizes in postacute care service utilization, readmission rate, and cost between the surgical approaches for elective THA (MS-DRG 469 and 470). Average THA total episode cost was negligibly higher for procedures using the anterior approach compared to the posterior approach ($22,517 and $22,068, respectively). Statistically significant differences were observed in inpatient rehab and home health cost and service utilization. However, the effect sizes of these comparisons are negligible when accounting for the large sample size. All other comparisons showed minimal and statistically insignificant variation. CONCLUSION The results indicate that surgical approach alone is not the primary driver of postacute care service utilization, quality outcomes, or cost. Other factors such as physician-led patient-focused care pathways, care coordination, rapid rehabilitation protocols, perioperative pain management protocols, and patient education are integral for effective patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a pronounced need for a sustainable care model for total joint arthroplasty in the United States. Total hip and knee arthroplasty is expected to increase 673% by 2030, and Medicare is the payor for a majority of these episodes. Our objective was to compare orthopedic cohort groups with and without defined postacute care pathways and the effects of the care pathways on service utilization and cost for Medicare patients in the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement program. METHODS Claims data for elective hip and knee arthroplasty episodes from a national bundled payments for care improvement database were the source of our study data. Independent reviewers were used to determine which groups had defined clinical pathways. The 2 cohort groups were then compared between those with defined clinical pathways and those without. Outcomes measures included postacute care costs, utilization rates (both frequency and length of time) for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, skilled nursing facilities, home health, and readmissions. RESULTS Orthopedic physicians with defined postacute care pathways showed consistent decreases in cost and utilization as compared to physicians without defined postacute care pathways. Elective hip arthroplasty per episode cost differential was $3189 per episode between physicians with care pathways ($19,005) and those without ($22,195; P < .001). Elective knee arthroplasty per episode cost difference was $2466 per episode between physicians with care pathways ($18,866) and those without ($21,332; P < .001). Incident rates of utilization for postacute care services displayed significant differences between physicians with and without postacute care pathways. Physicians with defined postacute pathways demonstrated utilization reductions ranging from 7% to 79% with incident rate reductions ranging from 44% to 79%. CONCLUSION The results suggest that orthopedic physicians with defined postacute care pathways affect discharge disposition. The findings show significant cost and utilization reductions for physicians with defined postacute care pathways.

Abstract
Aims We wished to quantify the extent of soft-tissue damage sustained during minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty through the direct anterior (DA) and direct superior (DS) approaches. Materials and Methods In eight cadavers, the DA approach was performed on one side, and the DS approach on the other, a single brand of uncemented hip prosthesis was implanted by two surgeons, considered expert in their surgical approaches. Subsequent reflection of the gluteus maximus allowed the extent of muscle and tendon damage to be measured and the percentage damage to each anatomical structure to be calculated. Results The DA approach caused substantially greater damage to the gluteus minimus muscle and tendon when compared with the DS approach (t-test, p = 0.049 and 0.003, respectively). The tensor fascia lata and rectus femoris muscles were damaged only in the DA approach. There was no difference in the amount of damage to the gluteus medius muscle and tendon, piriformis tendon, obturator internus tendon, obturator externus tendon or quadratus femoris muscle between approaches. The posterior soft-tissue releases of the DA approach damaged the gluteus minimus muscle and tendon, piriformis tendon and obturator internus tendon. Conclusion The DS approach caused less soft-tissue damage than the DA approach. However the clinical relevance is unknown. Further clinical outcome studies, radiographic evaluation of component position, gait analyses and serum biomarker levels are necessary to evaluate and corroborate the safety and efficacy of the DS approach.
