Hollensteiner M, Traweger A, Augat P. Anatomic variability of the human femur and its implications for the use of artificial bones in biomechanical testing. BIOMED ENG-BIOMED TE 2024; 0:bmt-2024-0158. [PMID: 38997222 DOI: 10.1515/bmt-2024-0158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Aside from human bones, epoxy-based synthetic bones are regarded as the gold standard for biomechanical testing os osteosyntheses. There is a significant discrepancy in biomechanical testing between the determination of fracture stability due to implant treatment in experimental methods and their ability to predict the outcome of stability and fracture healing in a patient. One possible explanation for this disparity is the absence of population-specific variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity in artificial bone, which may influence the geometry and mechanical properties of bone. The goal of this review was to determine whether commercially available artificial bones adequately represent human anatomical variability for mechanical testing of femoral osteosyntheses. To summarize, the availability of suitable bone surrogates currently limits the validity of mechanical evaluations of implant-bone constructs. The currently available synthetic bones neither accurately reflect the local mechanical properties of human bone, nor adequately represent the necessary variability between various populations, limiting their generalized clinical relevance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with hemophilia (PWH) constantly suffer hemarthrosis, which leads to deformity of the hip joint. Therefore, PWH who are going to receive total hip arthroplasty (THA) should be exclusively treated before the surgery with careful measurement of their proximal femur. Hence, we conducted a retrospective study to explore the anatomical parameters of and differences in the proximal femur in hemophilic patients who underwent THA. METHODS The retrospective study comprised data of adult patients who received total hip arthroplasty from 2020 to 2022 in the research center. Patients having a diagnosis of hemophilic arthritis and received THA were included in experimental group, and patients with hip arthritis or femoral head necrosis were taken as control group. Parameters including femoral offset, neck-shaft angle (NSA), medullary cavity of 20 mm above mid-lesser trochanter level (T+20), mid-lesser trochanter level (T), and 20 mm blow it (T-20), and canal flare index (CFI), femoral cortical index (FCI) were measured on X-ray and CT images with PACS by two independent doctors. Data was analyzed by SPSS 20. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test data normality. Student's t-test was performed between PWH and control group. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Among the 94 hips, 39 (41.5%) were included in group hemophilia and 55(58.5%) in control group. The mean age of the patients was 49.36 ± 12.92 years. All cases were male patients. Data demonstrated significantly smaller femoral cortical index (FCI), femoral offset, medullary cavity of 20 mm above mid-lesser trochanter level, mid-lesser trochanter level, and 20 mm below it, and neck-shaft angle (NSA) was obviously larger in PWH than control group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found in canal flare index (CFI). CONCLUSION Hemophilic patients undergoing THA were prone to longer and thinner proximal femur. Preoperative morphological analysis of femur is recommended.

Perioperative peri-implant fracture after osteosynthesis for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fracture with the linear compression integrated screw intramedullary nail system (INTERTAN™): a retrospective study. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:932. [PMID: 38057901 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04441-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosynthesis for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fractures using the linear compression integrated screw intramedullary nail system (INTERTAN™) has become popular. Nonetheless, cases of perioperative peri-implant fractures have been reported following this surgical technique. The factors responsible for this complication remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated perioperative peri-implant fracture risk factors and incidence, as well as overall outcomes, using the INTERTAN™ system for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fractures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 98 consecutive patients with geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fractures after INTERTAN™ fixation, with at least a 12-month follow-up period between May 2020 and April 2022 at a single medical institute. The patients' demographic characteristics, fracture pattern, quality of reduction, quality of fixation, nail length, morphology of the femur, and perioperative complications were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Among the 98 patients, 92 achieved union during follow-up. Twelve perioperative peri-implant fractures (12.2%) were recorded, all of which occurred during or within 1 month of osteosynthesis. Except for one patient who underwent re-osteosynthesis, the others underwent nonoperative treatment, and all achieved union. Multiple regression analysis revealed morphology of the femur with low-lesser trochanter width (odds ratio (OR) 0.532, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.33-0.86, p = 0.01) to be the only factor contributing to perioperative peri-implant fractures. When the Youden index was used, the optimal cut-off value was 20.2 mm of low-lesser trochanter width. Low-lesser trochanter width < 20.2 mm was found to be a potential factor causing perioperative peri-implant fractures (OR 17.81, 95% CI 1.67-19.76, p = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS Morphology of the femur with a low-lesser trochanter width smaller than 20.2 mm was found to be the only potential contributor to perioperative peri-implant fractures when using INTERTAN™ for geriatric femoral pertrochanteric fractures. Care should be taken during osteosynthesis, focusing not only on the fracture site but also on the femoral cortex around the implant. Although perioperative peri-implant fractures were observed within one month following osteosynthesis, the majority of these cases were effectively treated without surgical intervention.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2023; 481:1783-1789. [PMID: 36912864 PMCID: PMC10427045 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND THA for high-riding developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is challenging in terms of length equalization. Although previous studies suggested preoperative templating on AP pelvic radiographs is insufficient in patients with unilateral high-riding DDH because of hypoplasia of the hemipelvis on the affected side and unequal femoral and tibial length on scanograms, the results were controversial. The EOS™ (EOS™ Imaging) is a biplane X-ray imaging system using slot-scanning technology. Length and alignment measurements have been shown to be accurate. We used the EOS to compare the lower limb length and alignment in patients with unilateral high-riding DDH. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is there an overall leg length difference in patients with unilateral Crowe Type IV hip dysplasia? (2) In patients with unilateral Crowe Type IV hip dysplasia with an overall leg length difference, is there a consistent pattern of abnormalities in the femur or tibia that account for observed differences? (3) What is the impact of unilateral high-riding Crowe Type IV dysplasia on femoral neck offset and knee coronal alignment? METHODS Between March 2018 and April 2021, we treated 61 patients with THA for Crowe Type IV DDH (high-riding dislocation). EOS imaging was performed preoperatively in all patients. Eighteen percent (11 of 61) of the patients were excluded because of involvement of the opposite hip, 3% (two of 61) were excluded for neuromuscular involvement, and 13% (eight of 61) had previous surgery or fracture, leaving 40 patients for analysis in this prospective, cross-sectional study. Each patient's demographic, clinical, and radiographic information was collected with a checklist using charts, Picture Archiving and Communication System, and an EOS database. EOS-related measurements that were related to the proximal femur, limb length, and knee-related angles were recorded for both sides by two examiners. The findings of the two sides were statistically compared. RESULTS The overall limb length was not different between the dislocated and nondislocated sides (mean 725 ± 40 mm versus 722 ± 45 mm, mean difference 3 mm [95% CI -3 to 9 mm); p = 0.08). Apparent leg length was shorter on the dislocated side (mean 742 ± 44 mm versus 767 ± 52 mm, mean difference -25 mm [95% CI -32 to 3 mm]; p < 0.001). We observed that a longer tibia on the dislocated side was the only consistent pattern (mean 338 ± 19 mm versus 335 ± 20 mm, mean difference 4 [95% CI 2 to 6 mm]; p = 0.002), but there was no difference between the femur length (mean 346 ± 21 mm versus 343 ± 19 mm, mean difference 3 mm [95% CI -1 to 7]; p = 0.10). The femur of the dislocated side was longer by greater than 5 mm in 40% (16 of 40) of patients and shorter in 20% (eight of 40). The mean femoral neck offset of the involved side was shorter than that of the normal side (mean 28 ± 8 mm versus 39 ± 8 mm, mean difference -11 mm [95% CI -14 to -8 mm]; p < 0.001). There was a higher valgus alignment of the knee on the dislocated side with a decreased lateral distal femoral angle (mean 84° ± 3° versus 89° ± 3°, mean difference - 5° [95% CI -6° to -4°]; p < 0.001) and increased medial proximal tibia angle (mean 89° ± 3° versus 87° ± 3°, mean difference 1° [95% CI 0° to 2°]; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION A consistent pattern of anatomic alteration on the contralateral side does not exist in Crowe Type IV hips except for the length of the tibia. All parameters of the limb length could be shorter, equal to, or longer on the dislocated side. Given this unpredictability, AP pelvis radiographs are not sufficient for preoperative planning, and individualized preoperative planning using full-length images of the lower limbs should be performed before arthroplasty in Crowe Type IV hips.

Silicone ring tourniquet could be a substitute for a conventional tourniquet in total knee arthroplasty with a longer surgical field: a prospective comparative study in simultaneous total knee arthroplasty. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:363. [PMID: 37161363 PMCID: PMC10169314 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06469-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of silicon ring tourniquets and conventional pneumatic tourniquets in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study compared the operation time, total bleeding amount, length from the tourniquet distal end to the patella superior pole (L_TP), and complications related to the two tourniquet application methods and attempted to determine whether the silicon ring tourniquet has advantages over conventional pneumatic tourniquets. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective comparative study included 30 patients who underwent bilateral simultaneous TKA for degenerative osteoarthritis in August to December 2021. All patients underwent TKA on one side with a conventional pneumatic tourniquet, while TKA on the other side with a silicon ring tourniquet. The primary outcomes were the L_TP, operation time, tourniquet time, total bleeding amount, total drainage amount, and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score of the tourniquet applied site at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively. The secondary outcome was tourniquet-related complications in both groups. RESULTS L_TP was significantly longer in the silicon ring tourniquet group compared with that in the pneumatic tourniquet group (20.22 ± 2.74 cm versus 15.12 ± 2.40, p < 0.001). No significant difference was found in other results. The tourniquet applied site pain was less in the silicon ring tourniquet group (p = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Silicon ring tourniquet application resulted in better clinical outcomes than conventional pneumatic tourniquets in TKA. Because we can obtain a wider surgical field using silicon ring tourniquets without complications, silicon ring tourniquets could be a substitute for conventional pneumatic tourniquets in total knee arthroplasty or distal femoral surgeries.

Design of well-matched end-structure of anatomical proximal femoral locking plate based on computer-assisted imaging combined with 3D printing technology: a quality improvement study. Int J Surg 2023; 109:1169-1179. [PMID: 37026794 PMCID: PMC10389635 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000300] [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: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The extramedullary locking plate system was the common internal fixation method for hip fractures. However, common plates were poorly matched to femur, which was because they were designed based on anatomical parameters of the Western populations. Therefore, the aim was to design an end-structure of the anatomical proximal femoral locking plate that closely matched the anatomy of the Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2010 to December 2021, consecutive patients aged 18 years and older who underwent a full-length computed tomography scan of the femur were included. The end-structure (male and female model) of the anatomical proximal femoral locking plate was designed based on anatomical parameters of femurs that were measured in three-dimensional space using computer-assisted virtual technology. The match degree between the end-structure and femur were evaluated. Inter-observer and intra-observer agreement for the evaluation of match degree was assessed. The matching evaluation based on a three-dimensional printing model was regarded as the gold standard to assess the reliability. RESULTS A total of 1672 patients were included, with 701 men and 971 women. Significant differences were seen between male and female for all parameters of the proximal femur (all P <0.001). All match degree of end-structure was over 90%. Inter-observer and intra-observer agreement was almost perfect (all kappa value, >0.81). The sensitivity, specificity, and percentage of correct interpretation of matching evaluation in the computer-assisted virtual model was all greater than 95%. From femur reconstruction to completion of internal fixation matching, the process takes about 3 min. Moreover, reconstruction, measurement, and matching were all completed in one system. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that based on the larger sample of femoral anatomical parameters, a highly matching end-structure of anatomical proximal femoral locking plate for Chinese population could be designed with use of computer-assisted imaging technology.

Intramedullary nailing of subtrochanteric fractures in elderly patients: Comparative study of helical blade cephalomedullary nail versus reconstruction nail. Injury 2022; 53:1477-1483. [PMID: 35120730 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2022.01.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intramedullary nailing (IMN), which is a common method for treating subtrochanteric fractures, is conducted as cephalomedullary (CMN) or reconstruction (RCN) nailing. Numerous studies have reported the effectiveness of CMN, which requires a shorter surgery time and provides stronger fixation strength with blade-type devices. However, the radiographic and clinical outcomes of the use of CMN and RCN in elderly patients aged ≥65 years have not been compared yet. This study aimed to investigate whether CMN offers superior outcomes over RCN in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 60 elderly patients (17 men and 43 women; mean age: 74.9 years) diagnosed with subtrochanteric fractures and treated with IMN with helical blade CMN (CMN group: 30 patients) or RCN (RCN group: 30 patients) between January 2013 and December 2018 with at least 1 year of follow-up period. Radiologic outcomes were evaluated based on the postoperative state of alignment and the achievement and timing of bony union at the final follow-up. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score. Radiologic and clinical outcomes in the two groups were compared and analyzed, and the occurrence of complications was examined. RESULTS The difference in malalignment between the two groups was not significant; however, the RCN group achieved more effective reduction. At the final follow-up, bony union was achieved within 18.9 weeks, on average, in 28 patients in the CMN group and within 21.6 weeks, on average, in 27 patients in the RCN group. Twenty patients in the CMN group and 26 in the RCN group showed good or better results according to the Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score. No significant differences were found for any of the parameters. CONCLUSIONS In the treatment of difficult subtrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, RCN can provide excellent reduction and strong fixation similar to CMN and can result in outstanding clinical and radiologic outcomes.
