Cozzarelli NF, Ashkenazi I, Khan IA, Lonner JH, Lajam C, Schwarzkopf R, Rozell JC. Surgeons Experience Greater Physiologic Stress and Strain in the Direct Anterior Approach Than the Posterior Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00535-7. [PMID: 38801964 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.063] [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: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior approach (PA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) have advantages and disadvantages, but their physiologic burden to the surgeon has not been quantified. This study was conducted to determine whether differences exist in surgeon physiological stress and strain during DAA in comparison to PA. METHODS We evaluated a prospective cohort of 144 consecutive cases (67 DAA and 77 PA). There were 5, high-volume, fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons who wore a smart-vest that recorded cardiorespiratory data while performing primary THA DAA or PA. Heart rate (beats/minute), stress index (correlates with sympathetic activations), respiratory rate (respirations/minute), minute ventilation (L/min), and energy expenditure (calories) were recorded, along with patient body mass index and operative time. Continuous data was compared using t-tests or Mann Whitney U tests, and categorical data was compared with Chi-square or Fischer's exact tests. RESULTS There were no differences in patient characteristics. Compared to PA, performing THA via DAA had a significantly higher surgeon stress index (17.4 versus 12.4; P < .001), heart rate (101 versus 98.3; P = .007), minute ventilation (21.7 versus 18.7; P < .001), and energy expenditure per hour (349 versus 295; P < .001). However, DAA had a significantly shorter operative time (71.4 versus 82.1; P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Surgeons experience significantly higher physiological stress and strain when performing DAA compared to PA for primary THA. This study provides objective data on energy expenditure that can be factored into choice of approach, case order, and scheduling preferences, and provides insight into the work done by the surgeon.

J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:151-156. [PMID: 37380141 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine if the anterior approach (AP) influenced the incidence of early PJI in THA compared to posterior approach (PP). METHODS Record linkage was performed between state-wide hospitalization data and a national joint replacement registry to identify unilateral THA performed via the AP or PP. Complete data on 12,605 AP and 25,569 PP THAs were obtained. Propensity score matching (PSM) was undertaken to match covariates between the approaches. Outcomes were the 90-day PJI hospital readmission rate(using narrow and broad definitions) and 90-day PJI revision rate (defined as component removal or exchange). RESULTS The raw PJI readmission rate for AP was lower than PP (0.8% versus 1.1%, respectively). In the PSM analysis, there was no statistically significant difference in PJI readmission rate between approaches using narrow or broad definition of PJI readmission. In terms of revision for infection, both methods showed AP had a significantly lower rate than PP, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 0.47 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30, 0.75) for the 1:1 nearest neighbor method and 0.50 (95% CI 0.32, 0.77) for the subclassification method. CONCLUSION After addressing known confounders, there was no significant difference in the 90-day hospital readmission rate for hip PJI between approaches. There was a significantly reduced 90-day PJI revision rate for AP. The difference in revision may reflect differences in the surgical management of PJI between hip approaches rather than a difference in the underlying rate of infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) has proved to be an effective technique in complicated stem removal in femoral aseptic loosening or periprosthetic fracture. Debate remains about its safety in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The primary aim of this study is to analyze the ETO reinfection and union rate in two-stage hip revision. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic literature review was performed regarding all studies reporting ETO outcomes in the two-stage revision for hip PJI up to October 2022, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses criteria. A literature search was conducted in the following databases: MEDLINE/EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane. Quality assessment of the articles was performed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies. This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews. Patient demographic, clinical, and surgical data were collected. RESULTS This systematic review included and analyzed nine clinical studies with a total of 382 ETO PJI hips in two-stage revision. The overall ETO reinfection rate was 8.9% (34 hips), consistent with the reinfection rate after two-stage revision in patients without ETO. The overall ETO union rate was 94.8% (347 hips), comparable to the ETO union rate in non-septic patients. Compared between a group of patients with ETO PJI and a group of patients with non-PJI ETO, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications, both septic and aseptic, and for postoperative HHS. CONCLUSION ETO proved to be a safe and effective procedure in PJI revisions. It may be a viable option in challenging femoral stem removal during the two-stage hip revision in PJI.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:3957-3964. [PMID: 36333532 PMCID: PMC9638434 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04670-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Delay of elective surgeries, such as total joint replacement (TJR), is a common procedure in the current pandemic. In trauma surgery, postponement is associated with increased complication rates. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of postponement on surgical revision rates and postoperative complications after elective TJR. METHODS In a retrospective analysis of 10,140 consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) between 2011 and 2020, the effect of surgical delay on 90-day surgical revision rate, as well as internal and surgical complication rates, was investigated in a university high-volume arthroplasty center using the institute's joint registry and data of the hospital administration. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression models were used to adjust for confounding variables. RESULTS Two thousand four hundred and eighty TJRs patients were identified with a mean delay of 13.5 ± 29.6 days. Postponed TJR revealed a higher 90-day revision rate (7.1-4.5%, p < 0.001), surgical complications (3.2-1.9%, p < 0.001), internal complications (1.8-1.2% p < 0.041) and transfusion rate (2.6-1.8%, p < 0.023) than on-time TJR. Logistic regression analysis confirmed delay of TJRs as independent risk factor for 90-day revision rate [OR 1.42; 95% CI (1.18-1.72); p < 0.001] and surgical complication rates [OR 1.51; 95% CI (1.14-2.00); p = 0.04]. CONCLUSION Alike trauma surgery, delay in elective primary TJR correlates with higher revision and complication rates. Therefore, scheduling should be performed under consideration of the current COVID-19 pandemic. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III-retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The direct anterior approach (DAA) has its origins in the first and oldest approach for hip replacement in the literature, but at the same time it would not be fanciful to suggest its increasing popularity as the latest approach for hip replacement procedures, especially among younger surgeons. However, in a geographical context, the DAA is not considered the major approach in most countries. Moreover, the term DAA encompasses numerous variations in terms of technique. AREAS COVERED In this narrative review, we describe our recent experience of advances in the DAA in terms of improved techniques and devices, along with some of its disadvantages. Also, we express our perspective on its future application. EXPERT OPINIONS The DAA is established as one of exemplary approaches to THA. The use of fluoroscopy, the traction table, and appropriate soft tissue management has become essential in the DAA for a safe and trouble-free procedure with adequate patient comfort. With the combination of recent technologies such as robotics, three-dimensional preoperative planning, and artificial intelligence (AI)-based surgeon assist systems, we can look forward to the DAA being performed more efficiently in the future.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023:10.1007/s00402-022-04756-z. [PMID: 36629904 PMCID: PMC10374686 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04756-z] [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: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in minimally invasive (MIS) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still debated. This study aimed to identify differences in surgical and patient-related risk factors for PJI between an MIS anterolateral approach and transgluteal-modified Hardinge approach. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 5315 THAs performed between 2006 and 2019 at a single institution was screened. Short stem THAs performed via an MIS anterolateral approach in the supine position and standard straight stem THAs performed via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. Propensity score matching was performed to control for selection bias. After matching, 1405 (34.3%) short stem THAs implanted via MIS anterolateral approach and 2687 (65.7%) straight stem THAs implanted via a transgluteal modified Hardinge approach were included. The risk of PJI due to patient-specific and surgical factors was retrospectively analyzed using chi-square test and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS PJI occurred in 1.1% in both MIS anterolateral and transgluteal approach (p = 0.823). Multivariate regression showed an increased infection risk for patients with a BMI between 35 and 39.99 kg/m2 (OR 6.696; CI 1.799-24.923; p = 0.005), which could not be demonstrated for transgluteal approach (OR 0.900; CI 0.900-4.144; p = 0.93). A BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 (OR 14.150; CI 2.416-82.879; p = 0.003) was detected as a risk factor for PJI only in anterolateral approach. Increased operation time ≥ 121 min showed a significantly increased risk for PJI in the general cohort (OR 6.989; CI1.286-37.972; p = 0.024). CONCLUSION Minimally invasive anterolateral and transgluteal THA show a comparable rate of early PJI within the first year of index surgery. A BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m2 was detected as a clear risk factor for infection in the anterolateral approach. Prolonged operation time ≥ 121 min increases the risk of PJI regardless of approach.

Total hip arthroplasty for posttraumatic osteoarthritis secondary to acetabular fracture: An evidence based on 1,284 patients from 1970 to 2018. Front Surg 2022; 9:953976. [PMID: 36439540 PMCID: PMC9684333 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.953976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) can be a crippling sequela of acetabular fracture (AF), and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often necessary to alleviate the clinical progression of symptoms. The purpose of this study was to summarize the existing clinical evidence concerning the surgical management of AF with THA through meta-analyses. METHODS Databases were searched for articles published between 1995 and January 2022 that contained the keywords "acetabular," "fracture," "arthroplasty," and "osteoarthritis." Our study was registered in PROSPERO under number CRD42022314997. RESULTS We screened 3,125 studies and included data from 31 studies with 1,284 patients. The median patient age at the time of THA was 52 years and ranged from 19 to 94 years. The pooled overall survival rate was 88% [86%-90%, 95% confidence interval (CI)] and could reach 83% at ≥15-year follow-up. For the Harris Hip Score, we pooled 22 studies with an overall mean difference of 43.25 (40.40-46.10, 95% CI; P < 0.001), indicating a large clinical effect. The pooled complications (incidence rates) across studies were: heterotopic ossification (22.53%), implant dislocation (4.66%), implant infection (3.44%), and iatrogenic nerve injury (1.07%). CONCLUSION THA in patients with PTOA following AF leads to significant improvement in symptoms and function at ≥15-year follow-up. Survival rates of implants free from re-operation or revision after THA decreased with follow-up time and could still reach 83% at ≥15-year follow-up. THA might be an effective therapeutic method for patients with PTOA due to AF.
