Comparative analysis of the quality of life regarding patients who underwent hip replacement in public versus private hospitals in Hungary. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10031. [PMID: 38693216 PMCID: PMC11063203 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60720-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the impact of hip replacement surgery on the quality of life and to compare the outcomes by sociodemographic and surgical data in Hungarian public and private hospitals. Patients were selected at the Department of Orthopaedics (Clinical Centre, University of Pécs) and at the Da Vinci Private Clinic in Pécs. Patients completed the SF-36 and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) questionnaires before the surgery, 6 weeks and 3 months later. We also evaluated socio-demographic data, disease and surgical conditions. The research involved 128 patients, 60 patients in public, 68 patients in private hospital. Despite the different sociodemographic characteristics and surgical outcomes of public and private healthcare patients, both groups had significantly improved the quality of life 3 months after hip replacement surgery measured by OHS and SF-36 physical health scores (p < 0.001). In the mental health score, only the patients of the private health sector showed a significant improvement (p < 0.001). The extent of improvement did not differ between the two healthcare sectors according to the OHS questionnaire (p = 0.985). While the SF-36 physical health score showed a higher improvement for public patients (p = 0.027), the mental health score showed a higher improvement for private patients (p = 0.015).

Abstract
Drainage after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) used to be systematic to prevent complications and notably hematoma and infection. However, improvement in practices, the introduction of blood-sparing protocols and above all the conclusions reported in many studies have cast doubt on this dogma. There is abundant literature on the pros and cons of drainage after primary THA and TKA. The main endpoints were transfusion rates and volumes, total blood loss and variations in hemoglobin levels. Clinical endpoints comprised pain, edema, postoperative hematoma and, more rarely, short-to-medium-term function. Except for a few studies reporting greater pain and edema without drainage, there is agreement that drainage not only provides no benefit but actually aggravates postoperative bleeding. There are fewer studies of drainage in revision procedures for the hip and very few for the knee. The interest of drainage has not been demonstrated and again postoperative bleeding is aggravated. Whether in primary or revision arthroplasty, tranexamic acid is recommended when not contraindicated, whatever the administration protocol. However, it should not be seen as the sole and determining reason for abandoning drainage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, expert opinion.

[PMID: 38186734 PMCID: PMC10768488 DOI: 10.5498/wjp.v13.i12.1016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a prevalent orthopedic issue, leading to the collapse and fragmentation of the femoral head in its advanced stages, which can severely impair patients' quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a clinical intervention frequently used to alleviate ONFH symptoms and reinstate hip functionality. The conventional surgical technique is invasive and comes with an extended recuperation period, posing significant challenges for patients. With the progression of medical technology, the use of the mini-incision technique in minimally invasive THA (MITHA) has become more prevalent. However, comparative studies examining the effectiveness of these two surgical procedures in treating ONFH remain scarce. Furthermore, understanding patients' psychological well-being is crucial given its profound influence on postoperative recuperation. AIM To evaluate the impact of mini-incision MITHA on ONFH treatment and to identify the risk factors associated with postoperative anxiety and depression. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 125 patients treated for ONFH at Xi'an Hong Hui Hospital between February 2020 and January 2022, with the term "consecutive" indicating that these patients were treated in an unbroken sequence without any selection. Among these, 60 patients (control group) underwent traditional THA, while 65 patients (observation group) were treated with mini-incision MITHA. Variations in the visual analog scale (VAS) score and the Harris hip score were monitored. Additionally, shifts in pre- and posttreatment Hamilton anxiety (HAMA) and Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale scores were recorded. Patients with both postoperative HAMA and HAMD scores of ≥ 8 were identified as those experiencing negative emotions. Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the determinants influencing these negative emotional outcomes. Comparative analyses of surgical and postoperative metrics between the two groups were also conducted. RESULTS Posttreatment results indicated a significantly higher VAS score in the control group than in the observation group, while the Harris score was considerably lower (P < 0.0001). The observation group benefited from a notably shorter operation duration, reduced blood loss, diminished incision size, and a decreased postoperative drainage time (P < 0.0001), accompanied by a reduced hospital stay and lower treatment costs (P < 0.0001). The control group had elevated posttreatment HAMA and HAMD scores in comparison to the observation group (P < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that being female [odds ratio (OR): 4.394, 95%CI: 1.689-11.433, P = 0.002], having a higher postoperative VAS score (OR: 5.533, 95%CI: 2.210-13.848, P < 0.0001), and having higher treatment costs (OR: 7.306, 95%CI: 2.801-19.057, P < 0.0001) were significant independent determinants influencing postoperative mood disturbances. CONCLUSION Compared to conventional THA, mini-incision MITHA offers advantages such as reduced operation time, minimal bleeding, and a shorter incision in ONFH patients. Moreover, factors such as sex, postoperative pain (reflected in the VAS score), and treatment costs significantly impact postoperative anxiety and depression.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:3183-3192. [PMID: 34347122 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04087-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In elderly patients, an established treatment for femoral neck fractures is hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) using the anterolateral approach (ALA). Early postoperative mobilization is crucial to reduce perioperative complications. The direct anterior approach (DAA) has been reported to facilitate early recovery of ambulation and is increasingly popular in elective hip surgery but rarely used in femoral neck fractures. The aim was to compare the outcome of the DAA and the ALA in patients treated for femoral neck fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS All HHAs with complete data sets were reviewed from a tertiary public healthcare institution (2013-2020). Propensity score matching was applied to compensate for possible confounders; outcome parameters were perioperative blood loss, postoperative mobility and pain. Secondary outcomes were duration of surgery, length of stay (LOS), complications, reoperation and mortality rates. RESULTS There were 237 patients (mean age 85.8 years) available for analysis. The DAA group mobilized earlier during hospitalization (outside patient room: 50.6 vs 38.6%, p = 0.01; walking on crutches/walker: 48.1 vs 36.1%, p < 0.01), had shorter surgeries (DAA vs ALA: 72.5 vs 89.5 min, p < 0.001) and a trend towards fewer complications (32.9% vs 44.9%, p = 0.076). Blood loss (286 vs 287 ml), LOS (10.4 vs 9.5 days), pain (cessation of opioid medication: 2.9 vs 3.3 days post-op), revision (2.5 vs 3.2%) or mortality (30-days: 7.6 vs 5.7%) did not differ between patient groups. CONCLUSIONS DAA for HHA led to earlier in-hospital mobility, shorter surgeries and a tendency towards fewer complications. No advantage was found regarding perioperative blood loss and pain.

Minimally Invasive Intermuscular Approaches Versus Conventional Approaches in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:1658-1666. [PMID: 35346808 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.03.071] [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: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, the literature has not yet revealed superiority of Minimally Invasive (MI) approaches over conventional techniques. We performed a systematic review to determine whether minimally invasive approaches are superior to conventional approaches in total hip arthroplasty for clinical and functional outcomes. We performed a meta-analysis of level 1 evidence to determine whether minimally invasive approaches are superior to conventional approaches for clinical outcomes. METHODS All studies comparing MI approaches to conventional approaches were eligible for analysis. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were adhered to throughout this study. Registries were searched using the following MeSH terms: 'minimally invasive', 'muscle-sparing', 'THA', 'THR', 'hip arthroplasty' and 'hip replacement'. Locations searched included PubMed, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, the European Union (EU) clinical trials register and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (World Health Organisation). RESULTS Twenty studies were identified. There were 1,282 MI total hip arthroplasty (THAs) and 1,351 conventional THAs performed. There was no difference between MI and conventional approaches for all clinical outcomes of relevance including all-cause revision (P = .959), aseptic revision (P = .894), instability (P = .894), infection (P = .669) and periprosthetic fracture (P = .940). There was also no difference in functional outcome at early or intermediate follow-up between the two groups (P = .38). In level I studies exclusively, random-effects meta-analysis demonstrated no difference in aseptic revision (P = .461) and all other outcomes between both groups. CONCLUSION Intermuscular MI approaches are equivalent to conventional THA approaches when considering all-cause revision, aseptic revision, infection, dislocation, fracture rates and functional outcomes. Meta-analysis of level 1 evidence supports this claim.

Comparisons between Direct Anterior Approach and Lateral Approach for Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in Postoperative Orthopaedic Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Orthop Surg 2021; 13:1707-1720. [PMID: 34351056 PMCID: PMC8523754 DOI: 10.1111/os.13101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The direct anterior approach (DAA) are attracting increasing attention from orthopedic arthroplasty surgeons, due to the less blood loss, mild soft tissue invasion, rapid rehabilitation and shorter length of stay. However, the longer learning curve in DAA can give rise to several complications, such as intraoperative femoral fracture, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, wound‐healing problem, premature revision and so on. This meta‐analysis was performed to compare the rate of postoperative orthopedic complications between the DAA and the lateral approach (LA). All studies involving the comparison of postoperative orthopedic complications after THA between the DAA and LA group were searched in 7 databases prior to October 2020. The odds ratio (OR) with the 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each outcome was calculated by using the RevMan 5.3. The methodological bias of included studies was evaluated and the potential heterogeneity sources were analyzed. Thirteen comparative studies including a total of 24853 hips (9575 hips in the DAA group and 15278 hips in the LA group) were eligible for this meta‐analysis. There was no significant difference in the rate of surgical site infection [2.59% vs 2.14% (OR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.59‐1.61, P = 0.93)], heterotopic ossification [12.16% vs 26.47% (OR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.20‐1.07, P = 0.07)] and reoperation [2.70% and 2.11% respectively (OR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.68‐1.26, P = 0.64)] between the DAA and LA groups. Although a lower rate in prosthesis malposition [36.19% vs 54.86% (OR = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.35‐0.73, P = 0.0003)], leg length discrepancy [1.87% vs 2.37% (OR = 2.35; 95% CI: 1.30‐4.25, P = 0.005)] and Trendelenburg gait [1.68% vs 4.78% (OR = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.13‐0.65, P = 0.003)] was observed in the DAA group, a higher rate in dislocation [0.77% vs 0.18% (OR = 3.73; 95% CI: 2.35‐5.94, P< 0.00001)], periprosthetic fracture [1.05% vs 0.41% (OR = 2.38; 95% CI: 1.58‐3.58, P< 0.0001)], prosthesis loosening [0.61% vs 0.37% (OR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.05‐2.62, P = 0.03)] and nerve injury [0.95% vs 0% (OR = 7.12; 95% CI: 1.66‐30.48, P = 0.008)] was found in the DAA group. This meta‐analysis demonstrated several evidences indicating that the DAA exhibited the advantages in the accurate prosthesis placement and less damage of surrounding hip musculature. However, a higher rate in dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, prosthesis loosening and nerve injury in the DAA group should be paid more attention, due to the limited exposure and a longer learning curve, compared to the LA.

Abstract
Background Minimally invasive surgery is becoming increasingly common, but evidence of the advantages of the minimally invasive transpiriformis approach in total hip arthroplasty is limited. Therefore, our single-centre randomized controlled trial evaluated the benefits of this approach versus the posterolateral approach. Methods Forty-nine patients undergoing the minimally invasive transpiriformis approach and 57 patients undergoing the posterolateral approach total hip arthroplasty were analyzed. The operative time, length of hospital stay, incision length, and peri-operative data related to the surgery were recorded. In both groups, serum CRP, IL-6, HGb, Hct, MB, CK-MB, and CK levels, Harris hip scores, and VAS scores were recorded. Results Patients who underwent the minimally invasive transpiriformis approach had a smaller surgical incision (9.10 ± 0.94 vs. 15.56 ± 1.20 cm, P = 0.00) and shorter hospital stay (6.20 ± 1.54 vs. 12.26 ± 2.97 days, P = 0.00) than those who underwent the posterolateral approach. Serum levels of CRP, IL-6, MB, CK-MB, and CK were also lower. According to the Harris hip score, the minimally invasive transpiriformis group showed significant improvement at one week and one month after surgery. Conclusion Compared to the posterolateral approach, the minimally invasive transpiriformis approach for total hip arthroplasty provided rapid functional recovery, elicited a significantly reduced post-operative inflammatory response, and caused less muscle damage.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks (LFCNB) and iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal nerve blocks (IHINB) on postoperative pain and functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach (DAA). Methods In this retrospective cohort study, patients undergoing THA via the DAA between January 2019 and November 2019 were stratified into two groups based on their date of admission. Sixty‐seven patients received LFCNB and IHINB along with periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) (nerve block group), and 75 patients received PIA alone (control group). The outcomes included postoperative morphine consumption, postoperative pain assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), the QoR‐15 score, and functional recovery measured as quadriceps strength, time to first straight leg rise, daily ambulation distance, and duration of hospitalization. The Oxford hip score and the UCLA activity level rating were assessed at 1 and 3 months after surgery. In addition, postoperative complications were recorded. Patients were also compared based on the type of incision used during surgery (traditional longitudinal or “bikini” incision). Results Patients in the nerve block group showed significantly lower postoperative morphine consumption, lower resting VAS scores within 12 h postoperatively, lower VAS scores during motion within 24 h postoperatively, and better QoR‐15 scores on postoperative day 1. These patients also showed significantly better functional recovery during hospitalization. At 1‐month and 3‐month outpatient follow up, the two groups showed no significant differences in Oxford hip score or UCLA activity level rating. There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications. Similar results were observed when patients were stratified by type of incision, except that the duration of hospitalization was similar. Conclusion Compared to PIA alone, a combination of LFCNB and IHINB along with PIA can improve early pain relief, reduce morphine consumption, and accelerate functional recovery, without increasing complications after THA via the DAA.

Less blood loss in supercapsular percutaneously assisted versus posterolateral total hip arthroplasty. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:217. [PMID: 33766085 PMCID: PMC7992970 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02363-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although excellent clinical outcomes of supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPath) have been reported, the peri-operative blood loss has rarely been reported. The current study determined the blood loss during SuperPath and compared the blood loss with conventional posterolateral total hip arthroplasty (PLTH). METHODS This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent unilateral primary THA between January 2017 and December 2019. The demographic data, diagnoses, affected side, radiographic findings, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, operative time, transfusion requirements, and intra-operative blood loss were recorded. The peri-operative blood loss was calculated using the OSTHEO formula. Blood loss on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th post-operative days was calculated. Hidden blood loss (HBL) was determined by subtracting the intra-operative blood loss from the total blood loss. RESULTS Two hundred sixty-three patients were included in the study, 85 of whom were in the SuperPath group and 178 in the posterolateral total hip arthroplasty (PLTH) group. Patient demographics, diagnoses, affected side, operative times, and pre-operative hemoglobin concentrations did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared to the PLTH group, the SuperPath group had less blood loss, including intra-operative blood loss, 1st, 3rd, and 5th post-operative days blood loss, and HBL (all P < 0.05). Total blood loss and HBL was 790.07 ± 233.37 and 560.67 ± 195.54 mL for the SuperPath group, respectively, and 1141.26 ± 482.52 and 783.45 ± 379.24 mL for the PLTH group. PLTH led to a greater reduction in the post-operative hematocrit than SuperPath (P < 0.001). A much lower transfusion rate (P = 0.028) and transfusion volume (P = 0.019) was also noted in the SuperPath group. CONCLUSION SuperPath resulted in less perioperative blood loss and a lower transfusion rate than conventional PLTH.

Abductor Muscle Force after Straight-Stem Compared to Short-Stem Total Hip Arthroplasty through a Modified Direct Lateral Approach: Functional Assessment of 70 Consecutive Patients of a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10061235. [PMID: 33809713 PMCID: PMC8002373 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10061235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Because of preservation of proximal femoral bone stock and minimized soft tissue trauma, short-stem implants are becoming increasingly important in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The postulated advantage regarding the functional outcome has not been verified. We hypothesized an increased abductor muscle strength by the use of a short-stem design. Seventy consecutive patients of a randomized clinical trial were included. Of these, 67 patients met the inclusion criteria after 12 months. Thirty-five patients received a standard straight stem and 32 patients a short-stem femoral component. All surgeries were performed by a modified direct lateral approach. Isometric muscle strength of the hip abductors was evaluated preoperatively 3 and 12 months after surgery. Harris hip score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores were evaluated. After three months, there were no differences between the two groups; the abductor force was comparable to the preoperative initial values. After 12 months, a significant increase in muscle strength for the short stem patient group compared to preoperative baseline values was measured (straight-stem THA, 0.09 Nm/kg ± 0.4, p = 0.32; short-stem THA, 0.2 Nm/kg ± 0.3, p = 0.004). Comparison of the 12-month postoperative total HHS and WOMAC revealed no significant differences between both groups. A significant increase in hip abductor muscle strength 12 months after short-stem THA compared to conventional-stem THA was observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Watson-Jones interval plane between tensor fascia lata (TFL) and the gluteus medius (GM) has come back into fashion in the past few years - Röttinger described the anterolateral minimal invasive approach (ALMI) for use in total hip replacement, in which the standard Watson-Jones interval was used, but with a completely intermuscular plane. However, the term anterolateral is often still utilised to describe intramuscular approaches in which the GM was violated, thus creating a potential misunderstanding in the literature. Accordingly, we have designed a study to answer the following questions: (1) are there articles in the recent literature that use the term "anterolateral" to describe different approaches; (2) which would be the correct description of the anterolateral approach? METHODS We did a systematic review of the literature based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, to look for peer reviewed papers of any evidence level focusing on the definition of anterolateral approach; MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched. RESULTS 73 manuscripts met the criteria of the systematic search. 53 papers (72.6%) reported the term anterolateral approach to describe a complete intermuscular approach between the interval between GM and TFL. Nonetheless, in the remaining 20 papers (27.4%) the term anterolateral was used to describe intramuscular approaches in which the gluteus medius was violated. CONCLUSION In about 1 out of 4 papers in the recent literature, the term anterolateral was utilised to describe approaches that are completely different both in terms of anatomy and function.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous-assisted arthroplasty was introduced to minimize complications traditionally associated with minimally invasive techniques, such as component malposition and periprosthetic fracture. Proponents of percutaneous-assisted techniques have more than 15 years of clinical utilization with good outcomes. This study reports our early experience, and outcomes, with an anterior percutaneous-assisted total hip arthroplasty (AnteriorPath). Methods A retrospective evaluation of a single-surgeon experience with the first 46 patients undergoing AnteriorPath using a cannula for acetabular cup instrumentation was compared with a similar-sized cohort undergoing traditional direct anterior (DA) total hip arthroplasty. Patients needed at least 2 postoperative visits for inclusion. Baseline preoperative characteristics, operative time, component positioning, and 6-week all-cause complications were evaluated. P values <.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Longer operative times were experienced with the AnteriorPath vs DA THA (93.6 minutes ± 38.6 vs 79.6 minutes ± 23.2, respectively, P = .0503). There were no significant differences in component abduction (40.14° DA vs 41.95° AnteriorPath, P = .1058). A statistically significant difference was found in component anteversion (32.8° DA vs 27.25° AnteriorPath, P = .0039). There were higher rates of short-term complications in patients undergoing DA THA (9.09% DA vs 2.5% AnteriorPath). Conclusions Early experience with an AnteriorPath demonstrates similar short-term outcomes compared with traditional DA THA. The use of a percutaneous technique has also allowed for a smaller incision, in-line acetabular cup reaming and impaction under direct visualization, and limited trauma to surrounding soft tissues. Further long-term studies with a larger sample size are needed to evaluate the potential benefits and complications of this novel technique

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the gold standard in the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the hip. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO), the quality of life and the function in two groups of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA), performed using the anterior minimally invasive (MIS) and the anterolateral approaches. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of 597 patients who underwent THA in 2009-2013 was performed. In all 597 cohort data on medical history were retrieved. HO occurrence was recorded for 331 patients and was evaluated based on Brooker's scale in the X-ray scan. Functional and quality of life scores were obtained for 238 patients. The following scales were used for the survey: Harris Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Visual Analogue Scale, and Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Satisfaction Scale. RESULTS Patients operated on from the MIS approach had statistically significantly (p < 0.05) better results with all the clinical scales used, except the Visual Analogue Scale (p > 0.05). HO was slightly more common after the MIS approach (52.5%) compared to the anterolateral approach (49.76%), though the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The MIS approach was associated with better clinical and functional outcomes. In the aspect of HO, we were not able to show the superiority of the MIS approach in terms of incidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE The minimally invasive (MI) anterolateral approach is a relatively new approach for the treatment of femoral neck fractures with a hemiarthroplasty (HA). There is limited research available presenting clinical outcomes after an HA using the MI approach. Therefore the aim of the present study was to compare clinical outcomes of the MI and traditional anterolateral approaches in patients after HA. METHODS Data were extracted from a prospective hip fracture database and completed by retrospective review of the electronic medical records. Patients undergoing HA in a level II trauma teaching hospital between 1 January 2011 and 1 May 2016 were enrolled. RESULTS A total of 463 patients (67% female), 223 in the MI group (mean age, 82 ± 7) and 240 (mean age, 81 ± 8) in the traditional anterolateral group were enrolled. No significant difference was found in baseline characteristics. The surgeons experience measured by the operations performed per year was in favour of the MI anterolateral group (26 vs 18, p < 0.001). The median operating time for an MI approach was shorter (53 vs 69 min, p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in mortality rates (p = 0.131) and post-operative complications: haematomas (p = 0.63), dislocations (p = 0.63), deep surgical site infections (p = 0.66) and re-operations. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show the MI anterolateral approach has a minimally shorter operation time with no difference in post-operative complications and clinical outcomes. We, therefore, conclude that the MI anterolateral approach is a safe alternative for the traditional anterolateral approach with an improved operation time, a smaller incision and less surrounding tissue damage. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic level III retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
Displaced intracapsular femoral neck (AO type 31 B2/3) fractures have various treatments, including internal fixation (IF), unipolar uncemented hemiarthroplasty (HA), bipolar uncemented HA, unipolar cemented HA, bipolar cemented HA, uncemented total hip replacement (THR), and cemented THR. Systematic literature retrieval was performed from the databases to compare them in a network meta-analysis. Forty studies (85 arms) containing 6141 patients were included. Overall, our network meta-analysis rank the orders of 7 procedures in reoperation, mortality, dislocation and infection, which indicates that IF may provide the highest reoperation incidence, unipolar cemented HA may provide the lowest reoperation incidence; uncemented THR contributes the highest dislocation incidence; and bipolar uncemented HA provides the lowest infection incidence. No differences in mortality were observed among the treatments. This conclusion is indirect; higher-quality direct comparisons are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been one of the most successful orthopedic procedures over the past 30 years. Nowadays, the techniques of exposure for THA have undergone great changes, allowing surgeons to perform THA through mini-incisions. Recently, a novel minimally invasive surgical technique of the supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip arthroplasty was reported in 2011. The purpose of this study was to compare the SuperPath approach with the conventional posterior approach, in terms early outcomes and radiologic results. METHODS Ninety-two consecutive unilateral primary hip osteoarthritis adult patients were randomly divided into two groups. Forty-six patients (SuperPath group) were operated on using the SuperPath approach, and 46 patients (conventional group) were operated on with the conventional posterior approach. Outcomes were evaluated using preoperative index, intraoperative data, and postoperative function data. The positioning of the implants was analyzed by radiography. RESULTS No significant difference was detected in skin-to-skin operation time, blood loss, transfusion rate, postoperative complications, abduction angle, anteversion angle, and stem alignments. The incision length and length of stay (LOS) in the SuperPath group were significantly lower. The VAS score in the SuperPath group at the 1-week, 1-month and 3-month postoperative intervals were lower than those VAS scores in the conventional group. The Harris Hip Score and Barthel Index (BI) for Activities of Daily Living in the SuperPath group were significantly higher at the 1- and 3-month follow-up intervals and were not significantly different 1 year after operation. CONCLUSIONS This prospective randomized study reveals that the SuperPath technique was associated with shorter LOS, earlier time to walk and climb, and lower postoperative pain levels. It also allowed early postoperative rehabilitation and faster recovery than conventional technique.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Criticism of the lateral approach (LA) for hip arthroplasty is mainly based on the risk of poor patient-reported outcomes compared to the posterior approach (PA). However, there have been no controlled studies comparing patient-reported outcomes between them. In this randomized controlled trial, we tested the hypothesis that patient-reported outcomes are better in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) with PA than in those who have undergone THA with LA, 12 months postoperatively. Patients and methods - 80 patients with hip osteoarthritis (mean age 61 years) were randomized to THA using PA or the modified direct LA. We recorded outcome measures preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively using the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were HOOS-Pain, HOOS-Quality-Of-Life, EQ-5D, UCLA Activity Score, and limping. Results - We found no statistically significant difference in the improvements in HOOS-PS between the treatment groups at 12-month follow-up. All secondary outcomes showed similar results except for limping, where PA patients improved significantly more than LA patients. Interpretation - Contrary to our hypothesis, patients treated with PA did not improve more than patients treated with LA regarding physical function, pain, physical activity, and quality of life 12 months postoperatively. However, limping was more pronounced in the LA patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heterotopic ossification (HO) is known to be a common complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The minimal invasive (MIS) modified anterolateral approach has become popular in combination with a short stem. We analysed the incidence of HO following short-stem THA using this approach in combination with a postoperative administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS 216 short stems were implanted in 162 patients. NSAIDs were administered for 2 weeks after surgery in 154 patients (95.1%). Standardised pre- and postoperative radiographic imaging was done at 2-year follow-up. HO was analysed according to the Brooker classification. Influence of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and blood transfusion were analysed. Harris Hip Score (HHS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) of satisfaction were assessed. Operation time and blood-transfusion rate was documented. Short-term gastrointestinal side effects were recorded. RESULTS The overall incidence of HO was 7.8% (16 cases). HO Brooker type 3 and 4 occurred in only 1 case (0.5%). No correlation with age, gender or BMI was revealed. HHS improved largely from 45.8 (SD 15.9) before surgery to 98.1 (SD 4.7) after a minimum of 2 years. At that point VAS satisfaction was 9.7 (SD 0.9). Mean operative time was 45.8 minutes (SD 18.7). 12 patients (7.4%) received at least 1 blood-transfusion. Gastrointestinal side effects occurred in 13 of 154 patients (8.4%). CONCLUSIONS The combination of short-stem THA, the MIS modified anterolateral approach and a postoperative application of NSAIDs resulted in the effective prevention of HO and excellent clinical results.

Orthopaedic trauma surgeons and direct anterior total hip arthroplasty: evaluation of learning curve at a level I academic institution. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2017; 27:421-424. [PMID: 28258304 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-017-1937-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2017] [Accepted: 02/20/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Interest in the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty has increased over recent years; however, the potential for substantial complications exists, especially during the surgeon's learning curve. We evaluated the change in various metrics to help identify a single surgeon's learning curve. Additionally, we examined whether the learning curve was different for primarily arthroplasty versus trauma-trained surgeons. METHODS We reported outcomes from the first 50 total hip arthroplasties performed through a direct anterior approach by a trauma fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon. Intraoperative and post-operative clinical outcomes were evaluated, including length of procedure, estimated blood loss, length of hospitalization, disposition to home versus care facility, need for blood transfusion, and complications. Previous reported learning curve outcomes were analysed with a comparison between those who are primarily arthroplasty specialists versus those who include hip arthroplasty as only a portion of their practice. RESULTS A significant difference in surgical time from 135 to 113 min was observed between the first 25 cases and the last 25. Estimated blood loss (EBL) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury rates decreased but not to a significant degree. Among reported learning curves, surgical time was significantly lower among fellowship-trained arthroplasty specialists when compared with other surgeons. CONCLUSION Our data support that surgeons who perform primarily joint arthroplasty will likely have a decreased surgical time, but similar EBL compared to those who include arthroplasty as only a portion of their practice, however, a number of confounding variables do exist, and additional investigation is warranted.

A case control study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2017; 18:27. [PMID: 28109271 PMCID: PMC5251274 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-017-1391-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2016] [Accepted: 01/11/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a well-known complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Recently, the trend is to operate THA minimally invasive being less traumatic than standard approaches and promising a faster return to activity. The purpose of the study was to investigate if minimal invasive surgery (MIS), leads also to less HO after THA. METHODS This retrospective study included 134 consecutive patients undergoing THA. In 42 (31.3%) patients a standard modified anterolateral (STD-Watson-Jones), in 28 (20.9%) patients a standard transgluteal Bauer approach (STD-Bauer), in 39 (29.1%) a MIS direct anterior approach (AMIS) and in 25 (18.7%) patients a MIS anterolateral (MIS-AL) approach was used. Standard preoperative anterior-posterior and lateral radiographs were assessed for occurrence of HO. HO was classified according to Brooker. In addition, short- and long-term adverse events were noted. Data was statistically analyzed using Chi-square tests, analysis of variance, multivariate data analysis and Pearson's correlation (p < 0.05). RESULTS Overall, HO was found in 38 caucasian patients (28.4%) after THA. The STD-Watson-Jones group showed the highest HO rate (45.2% n = 19) with a significant difference to the AMIS (23.1% n = 9) and STD-Bauer approach (14.3% n = 4). No statistical difference was found to the MIS-AL approach (24.0% n = 6). Postoperative complications did not differ significantly except for a higher incidence of Trendelenburg`s sign in STD-Bauer. CONCLUSIONS The rate and degree of HO after THA were significantly different with regards to the surgical approach. The standard modified anterolateral approach resulted in the highest HO rate, however, MIS approaches showed higher HO rates than the STD-Bauer.

BMC Anesthesiol 2016; 16:21. [PMID: 27006014 PMCID: PMC4804512 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-016-0183-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2015] [Accepted: 03/15/2016] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure associated with moderate postoperative pain. No nerve block without loss of motor function has been documented for THA. We hypothesised that an ultrasound-guided lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block added to a multimodal postoperative pain regimen would reduce postoperative pain after THA. METHODS One hundred patients who had a THA by the posterior approach were evaluated in this randomised, placebo-controlled, blinded, parallel-group trial comparing an ultrasound-guided LFCN-block with either 8 ml of ropivacaine, 7.5 mg/ml, (Group Ropivacaine) or 8 ml of saline (Group Placebo) given postoperatively. Surgery was performed under spinal anaesthesia. The primary outcome was pain (measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)) 4 h post-blockade during 30° flexion of the hip. Secondary outcomes were pain at rest, pain during movement, oxycodone consumption (0-24 h), time to mobilisation, ability to mobilise, and length of stay. Patients, assessors and all staff involved with patient care were blinded to the intervention. RESULTS There was no difference in primary outcome between Group Ropivacaine and Group Placebo (VAS 27 mm vs. 31 mm, p = 0.41; difference -5 mm (95% CI: -15 mm - +5 mm). No differences in any of the secondary outcomes were observed. No adverse events, or harms, were observed during the trial. CONCLUSION Pain scores, opioid use, time to mobilisation, and length of stay were low in both Group Ropivacaine and Group Placebo. We found no added analgesic effect of a LFCN-block when combined with paracetamol and ibuprofen after THA by the posterior approach. TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCT: 2013-004501-12 (December 16th 2013).
