Short stem hip arthroplasty with the optimys prosthesis is a safe and effective option for obese patients: a mid-term follow-up multicenter study. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024; 144:1401-1414. [PMID: 37924371 PMCID: PMC10896938 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-05105-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short stems are a valuable option in young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of their bone stock preserving properties facilitating revision hip arthroplasty. Although the effect of obesity on conventional THA is well studied, data about short stem THA in obese patients are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of obesity on complications, revisions, and outcome after short stem THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter, observational cohort study included patients undergoing short stem THA with the optimys prosthesis. Follow-up examinations were performed at specific intervals up to 7 years postoperatively. Operation characteristics, general and specific complications, revisions, VAS rest pain, VAS load pain, VAS patient satisfaction, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) were recorded and statistically compared between obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m2) patients. RESULTS Of the 224 patients included with a mean follow-up of 87.2 months (range 81.9-104.0), 69 were assigned to the OB group and 155 to the non-OB group. A minimally invasive approach was significantly less often selected in obese patients (p = 0.049), whereas operating time and length of hospital stay were not significantly different. The rate of general and specific complications did not significantly differ between both groups. Survival of the optimys prosthesis was 99.1% at 7-year follow-up and one patient per group had to undergo revision surgery. VAS rest pain, load pain, and satisfaction improved from preoperatively to postoperatively in both groups without a significant difference between both groups. While the HHS was improved from preoperatively to postoperatively, obese patients showed a significantly lower HHS at the 7-year follow-up (p = 0.01) but still exhibited an excellent scoring above the PASS threshold. CONCLUSION Short stem THA with the optimys prosthesis is a safe and effective option also in obese patients with an excellent clinical outcome and a low complication rate.

[PMID: 37518969 PMCID: PMC10681413 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This meta-analysis examined the post-operative wound effect of both obese and non-obese in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. To gather as complete an overview as possible, the researchers took advantage of 4 databases-PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science-to conduct a critical assessment. Following the development of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the researchers evaluated the quality of each document. A total of 9 related trials were conducted to determine the 95% CI (CI) and OR using a fixed-effect model. The final meta-analyses were conducted with RevMan 5.3. Our findings indicate that there is no statistically significant benefit in terms of post-operative wound complications among obese and non-obese patients. Obese subjects had a significantly higher risk of injury than those without obesity (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.04, 1.95, p = 0.03); obesity was also associated with a significantly higher risk of operative site infection than in non-obese subjects (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.76, 2.18, p < 0.0001); and after surgery, there was also a significant increase in the risk of post-operative wound infections among obese subjects than in non-obese subjects (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.34, 1.84, p < 0.0001). However, due to the small size of the cohort study in this meta-study, caution is required in the analysis. More randomized, controlled studies will be needed to validate these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leadership of clinical trials confers national recognition and promotes academic advancement. We hypothesized that women would be underrepresented among principal investigators (PIs) of hip and knee arthroplasty clinical trials in the United States. METHODS A query of hip and knee arthroplasty clinical trials from 2015 to 2021 was performed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Clinical trials were included if they involved a U.S.-based orthopaedic-surgeon PI. We analyzed the sex representation of arthroplasty PIs among junior-level (assistant professor) and senior-level (associate or full professor) faculty. Participation-to-prevalence ratios (PPRs) were calculated by comparing the sex representation among arthroplasty PIs with that among academic arthroplasty faculty at institutions conducting hip and knee arthroplasty clinical trials. A PPR of <0.8 indicated underrepresentation and a PPR of >1.2 indicated overrepresentation. RESULTS A total of 157 clinical trials involving 192 arthroplasty PIs were included. Of these PIs, only 2 (1.0%) were women. PIs were mostly funded by academic institutions (66%) and industry (33%). U.S. federal sources funded a minority (1%) of PIs. Of the 243 male arthroplasty faculty who were eligible, 190 men (78.2%) served as PIs. In contrast, of the 17 female arthroplasty faculty who were eligible, only 2 women (11.8%) served as PIs (p < 0.001). Across the entire cohort of arthroplasty PIs, women were underrepresented (PPR = 0.16), whereas men were equitably represented (PPR = 1.06). Women were underrepresented at the assistant professor (PPR = 0.0), associate professor (PPR = 0.52), and full professor (PPR = 0.58) levels. CONCLUSIONS Women were underrepresented among PIs of hip and knee arthroplasty clinical trials, which may lead to disparities in academic promotion and advancement. More research is needed to understand the potential barriers to female leadership of clinical trials. Greater awareness and engagement are needed to create sex equity in clinical trial leadership for hip and knee arthroplasty research. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The underrepresentation of women among arthroplasty PIs may lead to fewer options in surgical providers for patients and may limit access to musculoskeletal care for certain patient populations. A diverse arthroplasty workforce can promote attention to issues that disproportionately affect historically underrepresented and vulnerable patient populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although differential outcomes based on sex are widespread in medicine and surgery, evaluation of sex-specific differences in the field of orthopaedic surgery in general - and arthroplasty in particular - are lacking. We hypothesised that morbidly obese male and female patients would have differing risks of surgical complications following primary total hip replacement. METHODS We reviewed data contained within the American College of Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2015 through 2018, inclusive. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to determine the adjusted odds ratios (OR) of relevant variables on primary and secondary outcomes. RESULTS A total of 86,684 patients undergoing THR were identified, of whom 9972 patients (4095 male and 5877 female) were morbidly obese. Among morbidly obese patients, odds of surgical site infection were higher in females than males within 30 days of surgery (adjusted OR 1.40; 95% CI, 1.10-1.79; p = 0.007). This comprised the odds of both superficial infection (1.8% vs. 1.1%, adjusted OR 1.67; 95% CI, 1.16-2.40; p = 0.006) and deep infection (1.9% vs. 1.4%, adjusted OR 1.22; 95% CI, 0.88-1.68; p = 0.24). Unexpected return to the operating room (i.e., reoperation) within 30 days of the surgical procedure was also higher among females than males (4.2% vs. 3.1%, adjusted OR 1.38, 95% CI, 1.10-1.71, p = 0.005). There were no differences between male and female patients in the non-obese cohort. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with morbid obesity, the risk of surgical site infection and reoperation within the first 30 days is greater in women as compared to men. Future research must address whether this early increased risk among morbidly obese women persists in the longer term, and whether it results in compromised function or quality of life.

Anterior Approach to Hip Arthroplasty with Early Mobilization Key for Reduced Hospital Length of Stay. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1216.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to explore the preoperative factors related to early mobilization and length of stay (LOS) after total hip arthroplasty and the benefits of the anterior approach over the traditional lateral approach. Materials and Methods: Every patient benefits from information regarding details of the surgery approach, possible intra, and postoperative complications, post-operator medical care, and steps in the early mobilization protocol. The patient underwent a pre-anesthetic evaluation, was checked for preoperatory vital function, and was reevaluated for mobilization at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 96 h after total hip arthroplasty using the anterior versus lateral approach. Results: The result of the statistical calculations indicates the independent negative risk factors for reaching the mobilization target: age with a coefficient of -0.046, p = 0.0154 and lateral approach with a relative risk of 0.3802 (95% CI: 0.15-0.90), p = 0.0298. Statistical data concerning the length of stay (LOS) showed significant differences in the total days spent in the hospital. The patients who were operated on using the lateral approach presented a higher body mass index than those with the anterior approach, but this difference did not reach the threshold of statistical significance. Conclusions: In our study, patient mobilization is crucial to reduce LOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with component malpositioning and increased revision risk after total hip arthroplasty (THA). With anterior approaches (AAs) becoming increasingly popular, the goal of this study was to assess whether clinical outcome post-AA-THA is affected by body mass index (BMI). METHODS This multicenter, multisurgeon, consecutive case series used a prospective database of 1,784 AA-THAs (1,597 patients) through bikini (n = 1,172) or standard (n = 612) incisions. Mean age was 63 years (range, 20-94 years) and there were 57.5% women, who had a mean follow-up of 2.7 years (range, 2.0-4.1 years). Patients were classified into the following BMI groups: normal (BMI < 25.0; n = 572); overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9; n = 739); obese (BMI: 30.0-34.9; n = 330); and severely obese (BMI ≥ 35.0; n = 143). Outcomes evaluated included hip reconstruction (inclination/anteversion and leg-length, complications, and revision rates) and patient-reported outcomes including Oxford Hip Scores (OHS). RESULTS Mean postoperative leg-length difference was 2.0 mm (range: -17.5 to 39.0) with a mean cup inclination of 34.8° (range, 14.0-58.0°) and anteversion of 20.3° (range, 8.0-38.6°). Radiographic measurements were similar between BMI groups (P = .1-.7). Complication and revision rates were 2.5% and 1.7%, respectively. The most common complications were fracture (0.7%), periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (0.5%), and dislocation (0.5%). There was no difference in dislocation (P = .885) or fracture rates (P = .588) between BMI groups. There was a higher rate of wound complications (1.8%; P = .053) and PJIs (2.1%; P = .029) among obese and severely obese patients. Wound complications were less common among obese patients with the 'bikini' incision (odds ratio 2.7). Preoperative OHS was worse among the severely obese (P < .001), which showed similar improvements (Change in OHS; P = .144). CONCLUSION AA-THA is a credible option for obese patients, with low dislocation or fracture risk and excellent ability to reconstruct the hip, leading to comparable functional improvements among BMI groups. Obese patients have a higher risk of PJIs. Bikini incision for AA-THA can help minimize the risk of wound complications.

Abstract
Short femoral stems, with preservation of the femoral bone stock, are commonly used in recent years for hip replacement in younger and more active patients. Obesity is increasingly spreading even in the younger population. The aim of this case-series study is to evaluate short stems compared to traditional hip prostheses in the obese population. A total of 77 consecutive patients with a BMI greater than or equal to 30 Kg/m2 were enrolled in this prospective study and were divided into two groups: 49 patients have been implanted with short stems while 28 patients were implanted with traditional stems. All the patients were treated for primary osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis and all the stems were implanted by the same surgeon using a posterior approach. Clinical (Harris Hip Score—HHS, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index—WOMAC, visual analogue scale—VAS, 12-item Short Form Health Survey—SF-12) and radiographic outcomes were recorded. Radiological evaluations were carried out by three different blinded surgeons. A statistical analysis was performed (chi-square, t-test, Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, 2-factor ANOVA). At a mean follow-up of 42.6 months both groups showed a marked improvement in pain and in the clinical scores between pre- and post-surgical procedures (p < 0.05) with no significant differences between the two groups at last follow-up (p > 0.05). The radiological evaluations, with high concordance correlation between the three blinded surgeons (ICC consistently >0.80), showed good positioning and osseointegration in all cases, with no significant differences in the restoration of the joint geometry and complications. No revisions were recorded during the follow-up period. In conclusion, short stems appear to be a good option for bone preservation even in obese patients, showing comparable results to traditional implants.

How do Patient-reported Outcome Scores in International Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Registries Compare? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022; 480:1884-1896. [PMID: 35901444 PMCID: PMC9473760 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are the only systematic approach through which the patient's perspective can be considered by surgeons (in determining a procedure's efficacy or appropriateness) or healthcare systems (in the context of value-based healthcare). PROMs in registries enable international comparison of patient-centered outcomes after total joint arthroplasty, but the extent to which those scores may vary between different registry populations has not been clearly defined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) To what degree do mean change in general and joint-specific PROM scores vary across arthroplasty registries, and to what degree is the proportion of missing PROM scores in an individual registry associated with differences in the mean reported change scores? (2) Do PROM scores vary with patient BMI across registries? (3) Are comorbidity levels comparable across registries, and are they associated with differences in PROM scores? METHODS Thirteen national, regional, or institutional registries from nine countries reported aggregate PROM scores for patients who had completed PROMs preoperatively and 6 and/or 12 months postoperatively. The requested aggregate PROM scores were the EuroQol-5 Dimension Questionnaire (EQ-5D) index values, on which score 1 reflects "full health" and 0 reflects "as bad as death." Joint-specific PROMs were the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), with total scores ranging from 0 to 48 (worst-best), and the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function shortform (HOOS-PS) and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function shortform (KOOS-PS) values, scored 0 to 100 (worst-best). Eligible patients underwent primary unilateral THA or TKA for osteoarthritis between 2016 and 2019. Registries were asked to exclude patients with subsequent revisions within their PROM collection period. Raw aggregated PROM scores and scores adjusted for age, gender, and baseline values were inspected descriptively. Across all registries and PROMs, the reported percentage of missing PROM data varied from 9% (119 of 1354) to 97% (5305 of 5445). We therefore graphically explored whether PROM scores were associated with the level of data completeness. For each PROM cohort, chi-square tests were performed for BMI distributions across registries and 12 predefined PROM strata (men versus women; age 20 to 64 years, 65 to 74 years, and older than 75 years; and high or low preoperative PROM scores). Comorbidity distributions were evaluated descriptively by comparing proportions with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification of 3 or higher across registries for each PROM cohort. RESULTS The mean improvement in EQ-5D index values (10 registries) ranged from 0.16 to 0.33 for hip registries and 0.12 to 0.25 for knee registries. The mean improvement in the OHS (seven registries) ranged from 18 to 24, and for the HOOS-PS (three registries) it ranged from 29 to 35. The mean improvement in the OKS (six registries) ranged from 15 to 20, and for the KOOS-PS (four registries) it ranged from 19 to 23. For all PROMs, variation was smaller when adjusting the scores for differences in age, gender, and baseline values. After we compared the registries, there did not seem to be any association between the level of missing PROM data and the mean change in PROM scores. The proportions of patients with BMI 30 kg/m 2 or higher ranged from 16% to 43% (11 hip registries) and from 35% to 62% (10 knee registries). Distributions of patients across six BMI categories differed across hip and knee registries. Further, for all PROMs, distributions also differed across 12 predefined PROM strata. For the EQ-5D, patients in the younger age groups (20 to 64 years and 65 to 74 years) had higher proportions of BMI measurements greater than 30 kg/m 2 than older patients, and patients with the lowest baseline scores had higher proportions of BMI measurements more than 30 kg/m 2 compared with patients with higher baseline scores. These associations were similar for the OHS and OKS cohorts. The proportions of patients with ASA Class at least 3 ranged across registries from 6% to 35% (eight hip registries) and from 9% to 42% (nine knee registries). CONCLUSION Improvements in PROM scores varied among international registries, which may be partially explained by differences in age, gender, and preoperative scores. Higher BMI tended to be associated with lower preoperative PROM scores across registries. Large variation in BMI and comorbidity distributions across registries suggest that future international studies should consider the effect of adjusting for these factors. Although we were not able to evaluate its effect specifically, missing PROM data is a recurring challenge for registries. Demonstrating generalizability of results and evaluating the degree of response bias is crucial in using registry-based PROMs data to evaluate differences in outcome. Comparability between registries in terms of specific PROMs collection, postoperative timepoints, and demographic factors to enable confounder adjustment is necessary to use comparison between registries to inform and improve arthroplasty care internationally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current literature lacks consensus regarding the impact of obesity on clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The variability of results may reflect the lack of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) analysis, which helps to standardise the interpretation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We compared the PROMs, patient satisfaction and survivorship between obese and non-obese patients after THA. METHODS Prospectively collected registry data of 192 obese patients and 192 propensity score-matched controls who underwent primary THA at a single institution were reviewed. Clinical outcomes and satisfaction rates were assessed at 6 months and 2 years. Reoperations for surgical complications and revision rates were analysed. RESULTS Obese patients had a significantly poorer Oxford Hip Score (OHS) at 6 months and WOMAC-Function at 2 years. However, there was no difference in overall WOMAC, WOMAC-Pain, WOMAC-stiffness, SF-36 mental and physical component summary (PCS). A similar proportion of patients in each group achieved the MCID for OHS, WOMAC and SF-36 PCS. At 2 years, 90.3% of obese patients and 91.7% of controls were satisfied (p = 0.755). At a mean follow-up of 9 years, there were 5 reoperations (2.6%) for surgical complications in the obese group and 1 (0.5%) in the control group; whereas 12 revisions (6.3%) were recorded in the obese group and 3 (1.6%) in the control group (p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS Despite a higher revision rate, obese patients undergoing THA may experience a similar level of clinical meaningful improvement and satisfaction as their non-obese counterparts. This study provides valuable prognostic information for obese patients and guides preoperative counselling.

Management, outcome, and novel classification system of periprosthetic fractures in patients with transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic systems (TOPS)-a retrospective cohort analysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic systems (TOPS) are anchored prosthetic systems for major limb loss. Sometimes TOPS patients suffer from periprosthetic fractures. The aim of this study was to analyze the management and outcomes of periprosthetic fractures in patients with TOPS and to introduce a novel classification system for this entity. MATERIAL/METHODS Since 2010, 140 patients were treated with TOPS after transfemoral amputation in two centers in Germany. Fifteen patients sustained periprosthetic fractures, with five intra- and ten postoperative fractures. The outcome was analyzed by Prosthesis Mobility Questionnaire (PMQ), K-level and prosthesis wear time per day. A subgroup analysis for the body mass index (BMI) was performed. RESULTS All postoperative fractures were treated with implant-retaining osteosynthesis. Fourteen fractures healed without complications after a mean of 3 months. One postoperative fracture developed a clinically asymptomatic firm non-union. No Endo-Fixstem had to be removed. For the fracture and control group, a significant increase of the PMQ (p < 0.001) and K-level (p < 0.001) was observed after TOPS treatment compared to the preoperative baseline. Furthermore, the subgroup analysis showed a significant increase of the PMQ and K-level for both normal weight (p = 0.002) and overweight patients (p < 0.001). Of interest, overweight patients even showed a significantly higher increase in scores compared to normal weight patients, regardless of periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION Periprosthetic fractures do not necessarily worsen outcomes of TOPS treatment. Proper classification and standardized appropriate treatment strategies according to fracture morphology are paramount for reliably good outcomes. We recommend to not remove or exchange the implant (Endo-Fixstem) even if it is assembly. Higher BMI did not have an impact onto rehabilitation success after TOPS to major limb loss of the lower extremity.

Abstract
Overweight represents a major issue in contemporary orthopaedic practice. A higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with an increase of perioperative complications following several orthopaedic procedures, in particular total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the influence of overweight on THA surgical time is controversial. In this study, we investigated the association between BMI and surgical time analyzing the role of patients’ comorbidities. We conducted a retrospective study on 748 patients undergoing THA at our institutions between 2017 and 2018. Information regarding medical diseases was investigated and the burden of comorbidity was quantified using the Charlson score (CCI). Surgical time and blood loss were also recorded. Median surgical time was 76.5 min. Patients with surgical time above the median had both a higher BMI (28.3 vs. 27.1 kg/m2; p = 0.002); and CCI (1 vs. 0; p = 0.016). According to linear regression, surgical time was associated with BMI in the unadjusted model (p < 0.0001), after adjusting for age and sex (p < 0.0001), and in the multivariable model (p = 0.005). Furthermore, BMI was associated with increased surgical time only in patients with a Charlson score above the median, but not in others. Obesity is associated with increased surgical time during THA, especially in pluricomorbid patients, with a higher risk of perioperative complications.

Abstract
The impact of obesity on clinical outcomes following joint replacement procedures is resounding. Therefore, multiple strategies to achieve a substantial weight loss before surgery are needed in obese patients. The aim of the study was to test the effect of a fiber-enriched high carbohydrate (FEHC) diet on the reduction in body weight and pain in elderly obese patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Sixty-one candidates for THA were included in our study. Prior to the procedure, the participants have been randomly assigned to a 3-month diet intervention (FEHC diet or free diet). Anthropometric measures and food questionnaires were collected at the enrollment and after 3 months. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS), the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the Western Ontario McMaster Universities OA Index (WOMAC) were administered at baseline and before surgery. A statistically significant variation of weight was found in the FEHC diet group (-3.7 kg, -4.4--2.5) compared to the control group (-0.2 kg; -1.4-1.7; p < 0.0001), as well as significant improvements in the OHS (p < 0.0001), the HOOS (p < 0.0001) and the WOMAC (p < 0.0001) questionnaires. According to the results of the study, the FEHC diet in obese patients undergoing THA might help weight loss and improve related anthropometric parameters as well as hip function and pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our meta-analysis aimed to identify the individual-related risk factors that predispose patients to PJI following primary THA. METHODS Comprehensive literature retrieval from Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library was performed from inception to Feb 20th, 2021. Patient-related risk factors were compared as per the modifiable factors (BMI, smoke and alcohol abuse), non-modifiable factors (gender, age), and medical history characteristics, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head, femoral neck fracture, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and osteoarthritis (OA) etc. The meta-analysis was applied by using risk ratios with 95% corresponding intervals. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed to further assess the credibility of the results. RESULTS Overall, 40 studies with 3,561,446 hips were enrolled in our study. By implementing cumulative meta-analysis, higher BMI was found associated with markedly increased PJI risk after primary THA [2.40 (2.01-2.85)]. Meanwhile, medical characteristics including DM [1.64 (1.25-2.21)], AVN [1.65 (1.07-2.56)], femoral neck fracture [1.75 (1.39-2.20)], RA [1.37 (1.23-1.54)], CVD [1.34 (1.03-1.74)], chronic pulmonary disease (CPD) [1.22 (1.08-1.37)], neurological disease [1.19 (1.05-1.35)], opioid use [1.53 (1.35-1.73)] and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) [1.15 (1.13-1.17)] were also significantly correlated with higher rate of PJI. Conversely, dysplasia or dislocation [0.65 (0.45-0.93)], and OA [0.70 (0.62-0.79)] were protective factors. Of Note, female gender was protective for PJI only after longer follow-up. Besides, age, smoking, alcohol abuse, previous joint surgery, renal disease, hypertension, cancer, steroid use and liver disease were not closely related with PJI risk. CONCLUSION Our finding suggested that the individual-related risk factors for PJI after primary THA included high BMI, DM, AVN, femoral neck fracture, RA, CVD, CPD, neurological disease, opioid use and IDA, while protective factors were female gender, dysplasia/ dislocation and OA.

Abstract
Hintergrund Die Behandlung periprothetischer Infektionen (PPI) ist eine der größten Herausforderungen im Bereich der Endoprothetik. Der möglichst sichere Ausschluss oder die Bestätigung einer periprothetischen Infektion ist die Voraussetzung für jede Revisionsoperation und kann für den behandelnden Orthopäden und Unfallchirurgen eine große Herausforderung darstellen. Eine sichere evidenzbasierte präoperative Diagnostik ist im Sinne des Patienten notwendig, um einerseits eine periprothetische Infektion zu erkennen sowie die entsprechende chirurgische und antibiotische Therapie zu planen und andererseits unnötige zweizeitige Wechsel zu vermeiden. Ziel der Arbeit Ziel ist es, ein evidenzbasiertes problem- und prioritätenbasiertes Vorgehen zu entwickeln und dies in einem transparenten und standardisierten Algorithmus zusammenzufassen. Methode Durch systematische Literaturrecherche wurden relevante Arbeiten identifiziert und im Rahmen von Expertenrunden bewertet. Nach Extraktion der Daten erfolgte die Berechnung von Sensitivität, Spezifität, positiver und negativer Likelihood-Ratio sowie positiver und negativer prädiktiver Werte. Im Rahmen von 4 Treffen wurden die entsprechenden Studien der Arbeitsgruppe für implantatassoziierte Infektionen präsentiert und analog zu Standard-Delphi-Runden durch die einzelnen Experten bearbeitet und bewertet. Gemäß der Prioritätenliste der Expertenrunde erfolgte die Entwicklung eines zur ISO (International Organization for Standardisation) konformen Algorithmus. Ergebnisse Der entwickelte Algorithmus ist eine Abfolge von evidenzbasierten Prozessen gemäß der verwendeten ISO-Norm. Gemäß der durch die Expertenrunde priorisierten Haupt- und Nebenkriterien erfolgte die Entwicklung logisch strukturiert und problemorientiert. Schlussfolgerung Der Ausschluss einer periprothetischen Infektion ist von enormer Bedeutung vor einer Revisionsoperation und entscheidet in vielen Fällen über den Erfolg und die Invasivität der Operation. Die Diagnose „periprothetische Infektion“ erfordert eine substanzielle Veränderung der therapeutischen Strategie. Der durch die Arbeitsgruppe entwickelte Algorithmus fasst Positionen aus der aktuellen Literatur und spezielle Expertenmeinungen zusammen, dies ermöglicht einen transparenten diagnostischen Ansatz im Sinne einer Standard Operation Procedure.

Abstract
Selective supplementation of acetabular component fixation with a screw during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) assumes that the surgeon can detect when an acetabular component needs additional stability. In contrast, nonselective screw users do not alter their practice based on their interpretation of stability and either use screws all or none of the time. We aimed to determine the effect of selective screw use on aseptic acetabular component loosening. We retrospectively reviewed aseptic failures of acetabular components after primaty THA. We compared the survivorship of selective and nonselective supplementation of acetabular fixation with respect to time to revision, obesity, and screw use. Selective screw use (n = 16) was associated with earlier acetabular component aseptic loosening (median: 1.9 years; interquartile range [IQR]: 1.1-5.0) compared to nonselective screw use (n = 22; median: 5.6 years; IQR: 2.0-15.3; P = .010). Selective screw use was independently associated with earlier revision after adjusting for patient obesity. Obesity was associated with selective screw use in 50% of the cases vs 14% of nonselective cases (odds ratio: 6.3; confidence interval: 1.2-25.2; P = .028), possibly reflecting the increased difficulty in achieving acetabular component stability in this and other settings with compromised bone. Surgeons should carefully assess component stability at time of primary THA. If the acetabulum is not stable, the addition of screws alone may not be sufficient for acetabular component stability.

Abstract
Background The relationship between morbid obesity and long-term patient outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been understudied. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between morbid obesity and 10-year complications (revision surgery, reoperation, dislocation) and mortality in patients undergoing primary THA. Methods We conducted a population-based cohort study of patients aged 45–74 years who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis between 2002 and 2007 using Ontario administrative health care databases. Patients were followed for 10 years. We estimated risk ratios (RRs) of mortality, reoperation, revision and dislocation in patients with body mass index (BMI) greater than 45 kg/m2 (morbidly obese patients) compared with patients with a BMI of 45 kg/m2 or less (nonmorbidly obese patients). Results There were 22 251 patients in the study cohort, of whom 726 (3.3%) were morbidly obese. Morbid obesity was associated with higher 10-year risk of death (RR 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18–1.62). Risks of revision (RR 1.43, 95% CI 0.96–2.13) and dislocation (RR 2.38, 95% CI 1.38–4.10) were higher in morbidly obese men than in nonmorbidly obese men; there were no associations between obesity and revision or dislocation in women. Risk of reoperation was higher in morbidly obese women than in nonmorbidly obese women (RR 1.59, 95% CI 1.05–2.40); there was no association between obesity and reoperation in men. Conclusion Morbidly obese patients undergoing primary THA are at higher risk of long-term mortality and complications. There were differences in complication risk by sex. The results of this study should inform perioperative counselling of patients considering THA.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:818-823. [PMID: 31672504 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.09.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of obesity is rising, and increasing numbers of joint arthroplasty surgeries are being performed on obese patients. Concern exists that obesity increases surgical risk; however, its impact on function following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is inconsistently affirmed and less understood. A paucity exists in the literature pertaining long-term objective functional measures. Therefore, we investigated the impact of obesity on hip pain, function, and satisfaction 10 years following THA. METHODS This single-center, prospective, observational study categorized consecutive THA patients according to their body mass index to nonobese (<30 kg/m2) and obese (≥30 kg/m2) groups. Preoperative assessment included a numerical pain rating and the Oxford Hip Score. These were repeated along with a 6-minute walk test and a Likert satisfaction scale at 3 months, 1, 5, and 10 years postoperatively. RESULTS The series included 191 primary THA patients. No significant differences were found in hip pain or function between the obese and nonobese groups. Obese patients however had poorer walking capacity (P = .008), were more likely to use walking aids (P = .04), and were less satisfied (P = .04) at 10 years. CONCLUSION THA confers significant long-term symptom resolution irrespective of obesity; however, despite undergoing surgery, obese patients can be counseled they may not be as satisfied as or achieve the same walking capacity as nonobese individuals.

Greater risks of complications, infections, and revisions in the obese versus non-obese total hip arthroplasty population of 2,190,824 patients: a meta-analysis and systematic review. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2020; 28:31-44. [PMID: 31705995 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2019.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Revised: 09/03/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an epidemic, especially in developed countries. This affects the general health of these patients, especially when they are having a major surgical procedure such as total hip arthroplasty (THA). Several articles have described the effects of obesity on THA with varying conclusions. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes, complications, and peri-operative parameters of THA in the obese (BMI≥30 kg/m2) vs non-obese (BMI<30 kg/m2) population as well as a subgroup analysis of morbidly obese (BMI≥40 kg/m2) vs non-obese population. METHODS A multi-database search was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Data from studies assessing the outcomes and complications of THA in the obese and non-obese population were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-seven studies were included in this meta-analysis, consisting of 581,012 obese and 1,609,812 non-obese patients. Meta-analysis could not be performed on patient reported outcome measures due to heterogeneous reporting methods. Obese patients had a higher risk of all complications (OR = 1.53, 95%CI: 1.30-1.80, P < 0.001), deep infections (OR = 2.71, 95%CI: 2.08-3.53, P < 0.001), superficial infections (OR = 1.99, 95%CI: 1.55-2.55, P < 0.001), dislocations (OR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.66-1.79, P < 0.001), reoperations (OR = 1.61, 95%CI: 1.40-1.85, P < 0.001), revisions (OR = 1.44, 95%CI: 1.32-1.57, P < 0.001), and readmissions (OR = 1.37, 95%CI: 1.15-1.63, P < 0.001). When sub-group analysis of morbidly obese (BMI≥40 kg/m2) patients was performed, the risks of all these parameters were even greater. CONCLUSION Obese and morbidly obese patients are at higher risks of complications post THA than non-obese patients. Surgeons should be aware of these risks in order to counsel patients and adopt prophylactic strategies to reduce these risks where applicable.

Predictors for Unfavorable Early Outcomes in Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty: Does Extreme Body Mass Index Matter? BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:4370382. [PMID: 31687390 PMCID: PMC6800956 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4370382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2019] [Revised: 08/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Background Studies of previous cohorts have demonstrated a controversial association between extreme body mass index (BMI) and complication rates following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to compare 30-day perioperative complications in underweight (BMI <18.50 kg/m2), normal-weight (BMI 18.50–24.99 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 25.00–29.99 kg/m2), class I obesity (BMI 30.00–34.99 kg/m2), and morbidly obese (BMI ≥35.00 kg/m2) groups. Methods We performed a cohort study including patients who underwent unilateral primary THA by a single surgeon between January 2010 and December 2015 at our institution. We assessed 30-day complications, operation time, operative blood loss, and length of hospital stay. Results We identified 1565 primary THAs that were performed in patients with varying BMI levels. Compared with the normal-weight patients, the morbidly obese group had a higher 30-day complication rate (8.9% vs. 2.4%), longer operative time (79 minutes vs. 70 minutes), and more blood loss (376 mL vs. 302 mL). Underweight patients did not present any 30-day complications, and there were no differences among underweight and normal-weight patients regarding complication rates, operative time, or blood loss. The mean length of hospital stay was comparable among the different BMI groups. In the multivariate regression model, higher BMI was not associated with a higher risk of 30-day complications. Independent risk factors for 30-day complications were advanced age, prolonged operative time, and cardiovascular comorbidities. Conclusion Although increased operative time, blood loss, and perioperative complications were seen in the morbidly obese patients, BMI alone was not an independent risk factor for a higher 30-day complication rate. Therefore, our data suggest clinicians should make elderly patients aware of increased 30-day complications before the procedure, particularly those with cardiovascular comorbidities. Withholding THA solely on the basis of BMI is not justified.

Abstract
Background although many studies have demonstrated the association between body mass index (BMI) and many diseases, there is little evidence of postoperative mortality after hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between BMI and mortality after hip arthroplasty in the older population. Methods a total of 3,627 older patients who underwent hip arthroplasty from 2010 to 2013 were included. We used Cox regression analysis to evaluate the association between BMI and mortality after hip arthroplasty. The hazard ratios (HRs) was calculated from 30 days, 31-365 days, and from the first day of surgery to the day of death during the study. Results under-weight (BMI under 18.5 kg/m2) is significantly associated with increased mortality (HR:1.423; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.023-1.981) after hip arthroplasty compared to the normal range. However, in the short-term mortality within 30 days after surgery, both under-weight (HR: 2.368; 95%CI: 1.130-4.960) and obesity (25-29.9 kg/m2, HR: 2.023; 95%CI: 1.008-4.059) are associated with increased mortality. Conclusion our study suggested that under-weight is associated with increased risk of mortality after hip arthroplasty. Further, in a short-term outcome, obesity appear to be associated with increased mortality after hip arthroplasty within 30 days.

Does the body mass index influence the long-term survival of unicompartmental knee prostheses? A retrospective multi-centre study. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2018; 43:1365-1370.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of being obese on the long-term survival of total joint arthroplasty is persistently discussed. Considering only studies with large cohort of patients and meta-analysis, a high body mass index has been correlated with a higher incidence of complication but not univocally with a lower survival rate. In this study, we analyzed, retrospectively, the data of patients that received unicompartmental knee prostheses in order to examine if obesity has an effect on clinical outcomes. METHODS A retrospective multi-centre study was carried out on 4964 unicompartmental knee replacements between July 2000 and December 2016, the patients involved were 3976, with 988 bilateral cases. The patients were categorized into three groups: non-obese with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2, obese with BMI ranged between 30 and 39 kg/m2, and morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2). The outcome was measured using the Cox proportional hazards model with end point UKA revision for any reasons. Results were stratified for sex, age, weight, and bi-laterality. RESULTS The morbidly obese group was significantly younger and required a significantly longer operating time. No statistical significant differences were observed considering the BMI groups in terms of type of insert, type of tibial component, prosthetic condyle, and prosthesis fixation (p > 0.05; chi-square test). CONCLUSIONS Obese and morbidly obese patients have as much to gain from total knee replacement as non-obese patients.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of obesity has resulted in a marked increase in the number of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) carried out in patients with a high body mass index (BMI). THA in morbidly obese patients is often technically challenging owing to the associated co-morbidities and anatomical factors. Furthermore, the long-term clinical and functional outcomes of the procedure in these patients are not clear. The aim of this systematic review was to compare the long-term failure rate and functional outcomes of THA in morbidly obese versus non-obese patients. A literature search of PubMed, EMBASE and PubMed Central was conducted to identify studies that compared the outcomes of THA in patients defined as morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 35) to a control group (BMI < 30). The primary and secondary outcome measures were rate of revision and functional outcome, respectively, in the long term. Eight studies were included in this review. There were 66,238 THAs in morbidly obese patients and 705,619 THAs in patients with a BMI < 30. The overall revision rate was 7.99% in the morbidly obese patients versus 2.75% in the non-obese controls. The functional outcome was at least comparable to non-obese patients. This review suggests that morbidly obese patients have a slightly increased revision rate following THA. Importantly, these patients have a functional recovery at least comparable to those with a BMI < 30. Morbidly obese patients should be fully informed of these issues prior to undergoing surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity affects millions of patients in the United States and is associated with several complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The effect of obesity on the rate and mode of primary THA failure remains poorly understood, especially given other potentially confounding patient characteristics. We hypothesized that, among patients with a failed primary THA, obesity is independently associated with aseptic loosening and a higher rate of early revision. METHODS Six hundred eighty-four consecutive cases with failed THA referred to a single academic center for revision during a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to test the independent association between obesity and the timing as well as cause of THA failure. RESULTS The rate of primary THA failure before 5 years was 48.8% in obese and 37.1% in nonobese patients (odds ratio [OR] = 1.57, P = .010). Primary THA failure before 5 years was more likely with increasing body mass index (BMI) (BMI: 35-40 kg/m2, OR = 2.31, P = .008; BMI >40 kg/m2, OR = 2.51, P = .049). The rate of primary THA failure for aseptic loosening before 5 years was 30% in obese and 18% in nonobese patients (OR = 1.88, P = .023). Obesity was not a risk for revision for infection, whereas an American Society of Anesthesiologists class ≥3 was independently associated with primary THA failure for infection (OR = 2.33, P < .001). CONCLUSION Among patients with a failed THA, comorbidities may account for the risk of revision due to infection in obese patients. Obesity is independently associated with early primary THA failure for aseptic loosening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature to identify whether obesity or the regular practice of physical activity are predictors of clinical outcomes in patients undergoing elective hip and knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCE AND ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA A systematic search was performed on the Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE and Web of Science electronic databases. Longitudinal cohort studies were included in the review. To be included, studies needed to have assessed the association between obesity or physical activity participation measured at baseline and clinical outcomes (ie, pain, disability and adverse events) following hip or knee arthroplasty. DATA EXTRACTION Two independent reviewers extracted data on pain, disability, quality of life, obesity, physical activity and any postsurgical complications. RESULTS 62 full papers were included in this systematic review. From these, 31 were included in the meta-analyses. Our meta-analysis showed that compared to obese participants, non-obese participants report less pain at both short term (standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.43; 95% CI -0.67 to -0.19; P<0.001) and long term post-surgery (SMD -0.36; 95% CI -0.47 to -0.24; P<0.001), as well as less disability at long term post-surgery (SMD -0.32; 95% CI -0.36 to -0.28; P<0.001). They also report fewer postsurgical complications at short term (OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.25 to 0.91; P<0.001) and long term (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.41 to 0.74; P<0.001) along with less postsurgical infections after hip arthroplasty (OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.18 to 0.59; P<0.001), and knee arthroplasty (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.78; P=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Presurgical obesity is associated with worse clinical outcomes of hip or knee arthroplasty in terms of pain, disability and complications in patients with osteoarthritis. No impact of physical activity participation has been observed. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42016032711.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip dislocation is one of the most common postoperative complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Potential contributors include patient- and surgical-related factors. We performed a retrospective cohort study to identify risk factors for postoperative dislocation in patients receiving THA via the posterolateral approach. METHODS We assessed 1326 consecutive primary THAs performed between 2010 and 2015. Patient information was documented, and plain radiographic films were used to evaluate cup positioning, hip offset, and hip length change. A multiple logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for dislocation. Follow-up was coordinated by the Danish National Patient Registry. RESULTS Age and American Society of Anesthesiologists scores were higher in dislocating THA compared with those in the nondislocating THA. Cup anteversion was less in dislocating THA compared with that in nondislocating THA. Independent risk factors for cup dislocation were increased age, body mass index <25 and >30 kg/m2, and leg shortening of >5 mm. CONCLUSION Surgeons should aim for a shortening of leg length <5 mm to reduce the risk of postoperative dislocation in primary THA. Although anteversion was reduced for dislocating THA, there is likely no universal safe zone for cup positioning. Hip stability is multifactorial, and optimal cup positioning may vary from patient to patient.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are commonly treated with some kind of arthroplasty, but evidence on whether to use hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking. HA reduces the risk of dislocation, but may lead to acetabular erosion. THA implies longer surgery and increased bleeding. THA may result in better function and health-related quality of life, but evidence is contradictory. We compared HA and THA and in terms of revision, reoperation and death. Patients and methods - Data were extracted from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register for 11,253 patients with acute FNF receiving cemented HA or THA during 2008-2012. 2,902 patients with THA were matched by propensity score matching with as many patients with HA based on age, sex, BMI, and ASA classification. We used competing risks survival regression with reoperation or death and revision or death as endpoints. Results - THA patients had significantly reduced risk of revision (absolute risk reduction 0.51; 95% CI 0.39-0.67) and reoperation (0.58; 0.46-0.74). THA was associated with an almost 50% reduced mortality (risk ratio as competing risk for reoperation 0.51; 0.46-0.57). Interpretation - In our national register study of femoral neck fractures, THA had a lower risk than HA for further surgical procedures related to the hip. The reasons for lower mortality after THA are not known. Despite matching, there might be a selection of more healthy patients for this procedure, and other factors unknown to us, with or without relation to the choice of implant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a well-established risk factor for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and a number of complications including prosthetic joint infection. The annual changes in the prevalence of obesity among primary, revision, and infected TJA has not been studied at a national level. Given the higher costs of complications of TJA, it is important to understand the association of obesity with the annual trends of revision and infected TJA. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is the prevalence of obesity increasing among patients undergoing THA/TKA? (2) Is the prevalence of obesity increasing among patients undergoing revision THA/TKA? (3) Is the prevalence of obesity increasing among patients with infected THA/TKA? METHODS Annual volumes of primary, revision, and infected THA and TKA from 1998 to 2011 were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Using mathematical equations, the prevalence of obesity was estimated from relative risks and national obesity prevalence. National obesity prevalence was obtained from public health sources and the relative risk estimates were obtained from previously published meta-analyses and population-based studies. Annual prevalence of obesity was obtained by dividing the number of obese primary/revision/infected procedures in each year by the total number of corresponding procedures in that year. Annual changes in the prevalence of obesity were analyzed using linear regression. RESULTS The prevalence of obesity is increasing among patients undergoing THA (1998: 60,264 of 154,337 [39%], 2011: 160,241 of 305,755 [52%], increase of 1.05%/year [confidence interval {CI}, 0.95%-1.15%], p < 0.001) and TKA (1998: 143,681 of 251,309 [57%], 2011: 448,712 of 644,243 [70%], increase of 0.97%/year [CI, 0.87%-1.07%], p < 0.001). There was an increasing prevalence of obesity with THA revisions (1998: 16,322 of 34,139 [48%], 2011: 33,304 of 54,453 [61%], increase of 1.04%/year [CI, 0.94%-1.15%], p < 0.001) and in TKA revisions (1998: 16,837 of 26,539 [63%], 2011: 52,151 of 69,632 [75%], increase of 0.89%/year [CI, 0.79%-0.99%], p < 0.001). There was an increasing prevalence of obesity with THA infections (1998: 2068 of 3018 [69%], 2011: 6856 of 8687 [79%], increase of 0.80%/year [CI, 0.71%-0.89%], p < 0.001) and in TKA infections (1998: 3563 of 4684 [76%], 2011: 14,178 of 16,774 [85%], increase of 0.65%/year [CI, 0.57%-0.73%], p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of obesity has increased in patients undergoing primary, revision, and infected TJA in United States. The obesity epidemic appears to be related to the growing trends of revision and infection after TJA. With the obesity rates expected to grow further, the revision and infection burden associated with obesity may increase in the future. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prognostic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing rates of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) have presented challenges for general practitioners, orthopedic surgeons and the health care system in the recent years. The diagnosis of PJI is complex; multiple diagnostic tools are used in the attempt to correctly diagnose PJI. Evidence-based algorithms can help to identify PJI using standardized diagnostic steps. METHODS We reviewed relevant publications between 1990 and 2015 using a systematic literature search in MEDLINE and PUBMED. The selected search results were then classified into levels of evidence. The keywords were prosthetic joint infection, biofilm, diagnosis, sonication, antibiotic treatment, implant-associated infection, Staph. aureus, rifampicin, implant retention, pcr, maldi-tof, serology, synovial fluid, c-reactive protein level, total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and combinations of these terms. RESULTS From an initial 768 publications, 156 publications were stringently reviewed. Publications with class I-III recommendations (EAST) were considered. We developed an algorithm for the diagnostic approach to display the complex diagnosis of PJI in a clear and logically structured process according to ISO 5807. CONCLUSIONS The evidence-based standardized algorithm combines modern clinical requirements and evidence-based treatment principles. The algorithm provides a detailed transparent standard operating procedure (SOP) for diagnosing PJI. Thus, consistently high, examiner-independent process quality is assured to meet the demands of modern quality management in PJI diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Outcomes after total knee (TKA) and hip (THA) arthroplasty are often generalized internationally. Patient-dependent factors and preoperative symptom levels may differ across countries. We compared preoperative patient and clinical characteristics from two large cohorts, one in Switzerland, the other in the US. Methods Patient characteristics were collected prospectively on all elective primary TKAs and THAs performed at a large Swiss hospital and in a US national sample. Data included age, sex, education level, BMI, diagnosis, medical co-morbidities, PROMs (WOMAC pain/function), global health (SF-12). Results Six thousand six hundred eighty primary TKAs (US) and 823 TKAs (Swiss) were evaluated. US vs. Switzerland TKA patients were younger (mean age 67 vs. 72 years.), more obese (BMI ≥30 55% vs. 43%), had higher levels of education, more cardiac disease. Swiss patients had lower preoperative WOMAC pain scores (41 vs. 52) but pre-operative physical disability were comparable. 4,647 primary THAs (US) and 1,023 THAs (Swiss) were evaluated. US vs. Switzerland patients were younger (65 vs. 68 years.), more obese (BMI ≥30: 38% vs. 24%), had higher levels of education, more diabetes. Swiss patients had lower preoperative WOMAC pain scores (40 vs. 48 points). Physical disability was reported comparable, but Swiss patients indicated lower mental health scores. Conclusion We found substantial differences between US and Swiss cohorts in pre-operative patient characteristics and pain levels, which has potentially important implications for cross-cultural comparison of TKA/THA outcomes. Reports from national registries lack detailed patient information while these data suggest the need for adequate risk adjustment of patient factors.

Abstract
Aims The purpose of our study is to summarise the current scientific findings regarding the impact of obesity on total hip arthroplasty (THA); specifically the influence of obesity on the timing of THA, incidence of complications, and effect on clinical and functional outcomes. Materials and Methods We performed a systematic review that was compliant with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify prospective studies from the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases that evaluated primary THA in obese (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) patients. Results There were 17 articles included in the review, which encompassed 13 722 THA patients. Analysis of the included studies showed that, when compared with non-obese patients, obesity was associated with younger age at time of primary THA, and an increased incidence of complications (up to four-fold). Results were mixed on the influence of obesity on the outcomes of primary THA, with three studies showing a detrimental effect on outcomes of a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, while eight studies showed no effect. Conclusion Obesity is associated with significantly younger age at time of primary THA and obese patients are likely to experience a higher rate of peri-operative complications. More investigation is needed into the effect of obesity on clinical outcomes, as the current literature is mixed. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):31–6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of revision hip arthroplasty is increasing with nearly 100,000 annual procedures expected in the near future. Many surgeons use straight modular tapered stems in revisions; however, complications of periprosthetic fracture and cortical perforation occur, resulting in poor outcomes. Our objective was to identify patient demographics and femoral characteristics that predispose patients to cortical perforation when using the straight modular stems. METHODS We used a computed tomography database and modeling software to identify patient demographics and morphologic femoral characteristics that predispose patients to cortical perforation during revision hip arthroplasty. Overall, 561 femurs from patients of various backgrounds were used, and statistical analysis was performed via the 2-sample t test. RESULTS Decreased patient height (mean 163.0 vs 168.8 cm), radius of curvature (818 vs 939 mm), anterior-posterior (8.5 vs 13.8 mm) and medial-lateral (7.9 vs 11.3 mm) width of the isthmus, and distance of the isthmus from the greater trochanter (179 vs 186 mm) were all statistically significant risk factors for cortical perforation (P < .05). CONCLUSION This study identifies several patient-specific risk factors for cortical perforation during revision hip arthroplasty using straight modular tapered stems and highlights the importance of preoperative planning especially in patients with shorter stature, proximal location of the femoral isthmus, narrow femoral canal, and smaller radius of curvature. Also, when using a mid-length modular tapered stem without an extended trochanteric osteotomy, consideration should be given to using a kinked stem to avoid anterior cortical perforation.

Dual-mobility implants prevent hip dislocation following hip revision in obese patients. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2016; 41:469-473.

Abstract
PURPOSE Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with increased rates of dislocation in obese patients. It is not known whether dual-mobility implants decrease dislocation in these patients with obesity. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed two groups of revision THAs to compare the dislocation rate between 32 obese patients (BMI >30 kg/m2) with standard cups, and 35 obese patients (BMI >30 kg/m2) with dual-mobility cups. All patients received the same implants except for diameter head (32-mm head with standard cups and 28-mm head with dual mobility) and had the same cemented stem that was not changed at revision. The patients were followed at routine intervals and were specifically queried about dislocation. The two groups were similar in terms of age, gender, causes of revision and follow-up since the primary arthroplasty. RESULTS With standard liners, more hips in obese patients dislocated than did hips in obese patients who received dual-mobility implants. The number of dislocations in standard hips was at one year follow-up 15.6 % (5 of 32) compared with 0 % in dual-mobility hips and was at five year follow-up 21.8 % (7 of 32) compared with 2.8 % (1 of 35). After a mean follow-up of seven years no cases of loosening were found. Five patients in the obese group with a standard liner underwent re-revision surgery, the additional re-operations being necessary to treat recurrent postoperative dislocation. CONCLUSIONS Obese patients should be counselled about the important risk of dislocation that occurs with standard liners after revision THA. Dual-mobility liners in these patients with hip revision is an efficient technique to prevent post-operative hip dislocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with an increased risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, in patients with obesity, it is not known whether the risk is only in the early postoperative period or whether it persists several years after surgery, and whether having bariatric surgery before undergoing THA and/or receiving a specific device (such as a dual-mobility or constrained acetabular liner) is more effective in terms of decreasing the risk of dislocation. QUESTION/PURPOSES (1) What is the cumulative risk of dislocation in patients with obesity after THA in the absence of a dual-mobility or constrained liner, and is this related to component positioning? (2) Does bariatric surgery before undergoing THA decrease dislocation risk in patients with obesity? (3) Are dual-mobility and constrained liners efficient in preventing dislocation in patients with obesity? METHODS At our university-based practice, all surgeons adhered to the following treatment approaches: Before 2000 no dual-mobility implants or constrained liners were used for primary THAs. Between 2000 and 2008, all patients whose body mass index (BMI) was greater than 30 kg/m(2) received dual-mobility liners (or constrained liners), except when they had previously had bariatric surgery. After 2008, all patients with BMIs over 30 kg/m(2) as well as those patients who were previously treated with bariatric surgery (regardless of BMI at the time of the index THA) received dual-mobility or constrained liners. This case-control study compared the dislocation percentage between 215 hips in nonobese patients (BMI ≤ 30 kg/m(2)), 215 hips in patients with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m(2)) who received standard cups, 85 hips in patients with bariatric surgery before THA using standard cups (with reduction to a BMI < 30 kg/m(2)), and 155 hips in patients with obesity who received dual-mobility (when younger than 70 years) or constrained liners (when older than 70 years). All patients received the same implants except for different femoral head diameters (32-mm head with standard cups and 28-mm head with dual-mobility or constrained liners). The patients were followed at routine intervals and were specifically queried about dislocation. All the 670 hips had a minimum followup of 5 years with a mean followup of 14 years (range 5-25 years). At the most recent followup, 101 (15%) hips were lost to followup (respectively, 36 of 215, 34 of 215, five of 85, 24 of 155), which is the same ratio as observed among the underlying populations from which the patients were drawn. RESULTS With standard liners, more hips in patients with BMI > 30 kg/m(2) dislocated than did hips in nonobese (BMI < 30 kg/m(2)) patients. The cumulative number of dislocations (first time without recurrent dislocation) was 6% (13 of 215) at 1-year followup in obese patients compared with 2% (four of 215) in nonobese patients (odds ratio [OR], 3.4; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-10.58; p = 0.03) and was 13% (28 of 215) at 15 years followup compared with 4% (eight of 215) in nonobese patients (OR, 3.9; 95% CI 1.72-8.71; p = 0.001). When bariatric surgery was performed before THA, BMI declined from 42 kg/m(2) to 28 kg/m(2), but with the same standard liners, more hips after bariatric surgery dislocated at 1-year followup than did hips in patients with obesity without preoperative bariatric surgery (13% [11 of 85] compared with 6% [13 of 215]; OR, 0.43; 95% CI 0.18-1.01; p = 0.05). Dual-mobility or constrained implants decreased the risk of dislocation, and fewer hips in patients with obesity with dual-mobility or constrained liners at 7 years followup had dislocated than did hips with standard liners (2% [three of 155] compared with 9% [20 of 215]; OR, 0.19; 95% CI 0.05-0.66; p = 0.01) bringing this number in line with the number observed in nonobese subjects with standard cups. CONCLUSIONS With standard liners, the risk of dislocation is increased in patients with obesity. Preoperative decrease of BMI (with bariatric surgery) in patients with obesity did not prevent the risk of dislocation with standard liners. Use of dual-mobility or constrained liners in these patients is an effective technique to reduce the risk of postoperative hip dislocation. However, we do not yet know the full risks of loosening of dual-mobility and constrained liners in this obese population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity affects more than half a billion people worldwide, including one-third of men and women in the United States. Obesity is associated with higher postoperative complication rates after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It remains unknown whether obese patients progress to revision THA faster than nonobese patients. METHODS A total of 257 consecutive primary THAs referred to an academic tertiary care center for revision THA were retrospectively stratified according to preoperative body mass index (BMI), reason for revision THA, and time from primary to revision THA. RESULTS When examining primary THAs referred for revision THA, increasing BMI adversely affected the mean time to revision THA. The percentage of primary THAs revised at 5 years was 25% for a BMI of 18-25, 38% for a BMI of 25-30, 56% for a BMI of 30-35, 73% for a BMI of 35-40, and 75% for a BMI of greater than 40 (P < .001). The percentage of primary THAs revised at 15 years was 70%, 82%, 87%, 94%, and 100%, respectively (P < .001). A significant increase in early revision THA for aseptic loosening/osteolysis in obese patients (56%, 23/41) when compared with the nonobese patients (12%, 10/83, P < .001, relative risk ratio = 4.7). CONCLUSION Preoperative BMI influences the time of failure of primary THAs referred to an academic tertiary care for revision THA as well as the mechanism of failure. Specifically, obesity increased in the relative risk of early revision THA due to aseptic loosening/osteolysis by 4.7 fold.

Abstract
- The International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR) Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Working Group have evaluated and recommended best practices in the selection, administration, and interpretation of PROMs for hip and knee arthroplasty registries. The 2 generic PROMs in common use are the Short Form health surveys (SF-36 or SF-12) and EuroQol 5-dimension (EQ-5D). The Working Group recommends that registries should choose specific PROMs that have been appropriately developed with good measurement properties for arthroplasty patients. The Working Group recommend the use of a 1-item pain question ("During the past 4 weeks, how would you describe the pain you usually have in your [right/left] [hip/knee]?"; response: none, very mild, mild, moderate, or severe) and a single-item satisfaction outcome ("How satisfied are you with your [right/left] [hip/knee] replacement?"; response: very unsatisfied, dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied, or very satisfied). Survey logistics include patient instructions, paper- and electronic-based data collection, reminders for follow-up, centralized as opposed to hospital-based follow-up, sample size, patient- or joint-specific evaluation, collection intervals, frequency of response, missing values, and factors in establishing a PROMs registry program. The Working Group recommends including age, sex, diagnosis at joint, general health status preoperatively, and joint pain and function score in case-mix adjustment models. Interpretation and statistical analysis should consider the absolute level of pain, function, and general health status as well as improvement, missing data, approaches to analysis and case-mix adjustment, minimal clinically important difference, and minimal detectable change. The Working Group recommends data collection immediately before and 1 year after surgery, a threshold of 60% for acceptable frequency of response, documentation of non-responders, and documentation of incomplete or missing data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although preoperative risk assessment is multifactorial, subcutaneous fat thickness at the incision site has been associated with postoperative complications in studies of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and other procedures. This study compared subcutaneous fat thickness encountered in THA approaches using a lateral hip incision with that of approaches using an anterior incision and examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and fat distribution based on sex and age. METHODS Subcutaneous fat measurements were obtained from 2004 patient CT images at positions that correspond with lateral and anterior incision sites for common approaches to THA. A thickness ratio (lateral/anterior) was calculated, and BMI, sex, and age were collected via chart review. RESULTS Males and females had significantly different thickness ratio averages at 1.97 and 2.68, respectively. Thickness ratios were not significantly different between BMI groups. Lateral thickness averages were significantly different for males and females, and the interaction between sex and BMI group was significant. The relationship between BMI and the thickness ratio in males aged ≥65 years was significantly different from males of <65 years and females of all ages. CONCLUSION Regardless of BMI, sex, or age, incision site soft tissue thickness was greater for approaches using a lateral hip incision than for those with an anterior incision, and a positive relationship between BMI and both measurements was identified. The predominance of lateral fat was more pronounced in females of all age and BMI groups and less pronounced in obese males aged ≥65 years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High patient weight is a risk factor for mechanical implant failure and some manufacturers list obesity as a contraindication for implant use. We reviewed data from the 2012-2013 UK National Joint Registry to determine whether surgical practice reflects these manufacturer recommendations. METHODS The product literature for the most commonly used hip and knee implants was reviewed for recommendations against use in obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 30kg/m(2)). The total number of obese patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty was calculated, as was the proportion receiving implants against manufacturer recommendations. RESULTS Out of 200,054 patient records, 147,691 (74%) had a recorded BMI. The mean BMI for patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty was 29kg/m(2), compared with 31kg/m(2) for total knee arthroplasty. Of the 25 components reviewed, 5 listed obesity as a contraindication or recommended against implant use in obese patients. A total of 10,745 patients (16% of all obese patients) received implants against manufacturer recommendations. CONCLUSIONS A high proportion of patients are receiving implants against manufacturer recommendations. However, there are limitations to using BMI for stratifying risk of implant fatigue failure and manufacturers should therefore provide more detailed guidelines on size specific implant load limits to facilitate surgical decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are obese and exhibit a different risk profile from that of patients of normal weight. OBJECTIVES To provide an overview of the impact of obesity on the outcome of primary THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature review and discussion of own epidemiological data. RESULTS Obese patients can expect as much functional improvement as non-obese patients after THA. However, peri- and postoperative complication (e.g., periprosthetic infection and dislocation) rates are reported to be increased in obese THA patients. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge of obesity-associated risks is the prerequiste for successful THA in obese patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of each cause of revision surgery in total hip arthroplasty during the period 2009-2013. To analyse the relationship between these causes with different variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study was conducted on 127 patients who had hip replacement revision surgery in our hospital during this period. Parameters, such as age, sex, date of primary arthroplasty, prosthetic replacement date, and main cause of the revision were recorded. Those revisions performed within 5 years after the primary arthroplasty were considered as early rescue. RESULTS The most common cause of rescue was aseptic loosening in 38 (30%) followed by instability in 30 (24%). In terms of age at the time of rescue, statistically significant differences were found, with it being significantly higher in patients re-operated for a fracture. Differences in age at first surgery were found to be 7 years younger than those with late rescue (63.40) with respect to early (70.21). DISCUSSION Similar results to ours have been observed in other published series, except for the higher incidence of instability in early rescue. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates aseptic loosening and instability as the most frequent causes of revision surgery in our hospital. Age is a very influential factor in relation to longevity of primary arthroplasty. Complications were higher in when the primary hip replacement is implanted in older patients.

Abstract
For adolescent patients with end-stage hip disease, the choice between total hip arthroplasty (THA) and arthrodesis is complex; the clinical evidence is not definitive, and there are difficult trade-offs between clear short-term benefits from THA and uncertain long-term risks. We surveyed nearly 700 members of the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons. Respondents chose between a recommendation of THA or arthrodesis in four clinical vignettes. A clear majority of surgeons recommended THA in two of the vignettes, however opinion was somewhat divided in one vignette (overweight adolescent) and deeply divided in another (adolescent destined for manual labor job). Across all vignettes, recommendations varied systematically according to surgeons' age and their attitudes regarding tradeoffs between life stages.

Abstract
Identifying BMI via administrative data is a useful way to evaluate outcomes in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) for varying degrees of obesity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concordance between BMI coding in administrative claims data and actual clinical BMI measurements in the medical record for patients undergoing TJA. Clinical BMI value was shown to be a significant determinant of whether ICD-9 codes were used to report the patient's obesity status (P<0.01). Although a higher clinical BMI strongly increased the likelihood of having either of the ICD-9 diagnosis codes used to identify obesity status, only the accuracy of the V85 code increased with increasing levels of BMI.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents substantial clinical and economic burdens. This study evaluated patient and procedure characteristics and resource utilization associated with revision arthroplasty for PJI. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (Q4 2005-2010) was analyzed for 235,857 revision THA (RTHA) and 301,718 revision TKA (RTKA) procedures. PJI was the most common indication for RTKA, and the third most common reason for RTHA. PJI was most commonly associated with major severity of illness (SOI) in RTHA, and with moderate SOI in RTKA. RTHA and RTKA for PJI had the longest length of stay. Costs were higher for RTHA/RTKA for PJI than for any other diagnosis except periprosthetic fracture. Epidemiologic differences exist in the rank, severity and populations for RTHA and RTKA for PJI.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of total hip arthroplasty (THA) on body mass index (BMI), from before to after the operation. Methods 100 patients who underwent THA were retrospectively analyzed. They were stratified according to BMI, as proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Results There were 48 male patients and 52 female patients. Their mean age was 63.8 ± 13.5 years. The mean follow-up was 24.6 ± 0.6 months. The men had a mean preoperative BMI of 28.4 ± 3.6 kg/m2 and the women, 27.5 ± 5.0 kg/m2. The mean postoperative BMI was 28.9 ± 0.7 kg/m2 for the men and 27.8 ± 0.7 kg/m2 for the women. There was a general mean increase in BMI of 0.4 kg/m2. The BMI increased both in patients with normal weight and in those who were overweight, but it decreased slightly in patients who were obese. BMI remained unchanged in the majority of the patients (73%). Conclusion The improvement in mobility achieved through THA did not promote any reduction in anthropometric measurements in the majority of the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aseptic loosening is the most common cause for revisions after lower-extremity total joint arthroplasties, however studies differ regarding the degree to which host factors influence loosening. QUESTIONS/PURPOSE We performed a systematic review to determine which host factors play a role in the development of clinical and/or radiographic failure from aseptic loosening after (1) THA and (2) TKA. METHODS Two searches on THA and TKA, respectively, using four electronic databases (EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, PubMed, and Scopus) were conducted. We identified a total of 209 reports that encompassed nine potential host factors affecting aseptic loosening. Inclusion criteria for consideration of scientific clinical reports were that 20 or more patients were involved, with more than 1-year followup, with at least three studies pertaining to each factor, and at least six of the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies criteria met, and with raw data for odds ratio (OR) calculations. Twenty-one studies (16 THA studies with 45,779 hips and five TKA studies with 288 knees, respectively) were used to calculate weighted OR and CIs (using the random effects theory) and study heterogeneity for four different host factors in THAs (male sex, high activity level, obesity defined as BMI≥30 kg/m2, and current or former tobacco use) and one factor in TKA (BMI≥30 kg/m2), which were placed in a forest plot. RESULTS For THA, male sex (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.22-1.58; p=0.001) and high activity level (University of California Los Angeles [UCLA] activity score≥8 points; OR, 4.24; 95% CI, 2.46-7.31; p=0.001) were associated with aseptic loosening. However, obesity (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.73-1.40; p=0.96), and tobacco use (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 0.43-8.97; p=0.39) were not associated with an increased risk of aseptic loosening after THA with the numbers available. For TKA, we found no host factors associated with loosening. In particular, obesity (BMI≥30 kg/m2) was not associated with aseptic loosening with the numbers available (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 0.60-8.62; p=0.22). CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing a lower-extremity total joint arthroplasty who engage in impact sports should be counseled regarding their potential increased risk of aseptic loosening; however, given the weak evidence available, we believe that higher-level studies are necessary to clearly define the risk factors, particularly with newer-generation constructs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and ankle arthrodesis (AA) are two operative options for the management of end-stage ankle arthritis that has failed conservative interventions. Obesity is associated with a greater incidence of musculoskeletal disease, particularly osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints, including the ankle. The objective of the present study was to use a national database to examine the association between obesity and postoperative complications after TAA and AA. METHODS The PearlDiver database was queried for patients undergoing AA and TAA using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) procedure codes. Patients were divided into obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m(2)) and nonobese (body mass index <30 kg/m(2)) cohorts using ICD-9 codes for body mass index and obesity. Complications within 90 days postoperatively were assessed using ICD-9 and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. RESULTS 23,029 patients were identified from 2005 to 2011, including 5361 with TAA and 17,668 with AA. Obese TAA patients had a significantly increased risk of 90-day major, minor, local, systemic, venous thromboembolic, infectious, and medical complications compared with nonobese patients. The incidence of revision TAA was also significantly higher in obese patients compared with nonobese patients. Findings were similar for AA, as all types of complications were significantly higher in obese patients compared with nonobese patients. CONCLUSION Obesity was associated with significantly increased rates of all complications after both TAA and AA. The cause of this association was likely multifactorial, including increased rates of medical comorbidities, intraoperative factors, and larger soft tissue envelopes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, comparative series.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2015; 101:289-96. [PMID: 25817907 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2015.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 77] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2014] [Revised: 01/13/2015] [Accepted: 01/27/2015] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether or not, obesity negatively influencing the outcomes of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a controversial issue. Though observational studies focused on this topic, the reported conclusions remain inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies to evaluate if obesity negatively affects: (1) the overall complication rate (incidence of dislocation, deep infection and osteolysis); (2) functional outcome; (3) operative time and stay duration in hospital for the primary THA. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library until July 2014 to identify the eligible prospective studies. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for quality assessment of the included studies. We extracted and pooled the data. As for continuous data, mean difference (MD) was calculated; for dichotomous variables, we calculated a weighted relative risk (RR) with its 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I(2) statistics. P ≤ 0.05 was thought to be significant. RESULTS Fifteen studies were eligible for data extraction, which involved 11,271 total hip arthroplasties. The pooled data of complication rate demonstrated that obese patients suffered higher rates of complication (RR: 1.68, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.30, P = 0.0004), dislocation (RR: 2.08, 95% CI 1.54 to 2.81, P < 0.0001) and deep infection (RR: 2.92, 95% CI 0.74 to 11.49, P = 0.13). For the functional result, obese patients acquired relatively lower Harris Hip Score than non-obese patients (MD: -2.75, 95% CI -4.77 to -0.6), no difference was found regarding Oxford Hip Score (MD: -0.46, 95% CI -2.18 to 1.26, P = 0.60). Obese patients compared to non-obese patients showed an increase duration of operation (MD: 10.67, 95% CI 3.00 to 18.35, P = 0.006). However, no significant difference was found in the length of stay in hospital between obese and non-obese patients (MD: -0.16, 95% CI -0.34 to 0.02, P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies demonstrates that obesity negatively influences the overall complication rate, dislocation rate, functional outcome and operative time of primary total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Obesity is a well-known modifiable risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) in weight-bearing joints, and is present in approximately 35% of individuals with OA. Obesity adds significant burden to individuals with OA and is associated with poorer functional status and greater disability. In addition to tackling OA-related impairments, such as pain and functional limitations, interventions in this population need to address bodyweight reduction, as well as promotion of active lifestyle behaviors. While exercise and regular physical activity participation are both recommended and beneficial for OA and obese populations, our current understanding of optimal strategies to improve function and health status in those who have both OA and obesity is limited. This review will summarize the current available evidence related to effectiveness of various physical activity interventions to reduce pain, improve function and overall health-related quality of life in overweight or obese individuals with OA.
