Seven-Year Longitudinal Study: Clinical Evaluation of Knee Osteoarthritic Patients Treated with Mesenchymal Stem Cells. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3861. [PMID: 38999426 PMCID: PMC11242523 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133861] [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: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Numerous studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of intraarticular stem cell injections for treating osteoarthritic knee joints, reporting symptom reduction and pain relief within a few months of treatment. Here, we report the results of a 7-year follow-up after a single intraarticular injection of 0.5-1 × 107 autologous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 to 4). Methods: Nine patients were treated, and two patients had bilateral disease. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically using X-ray and MRI. A comprehensive statistical analysis was undertaken to evaluate the obtained results. Results: All clinical scores and range of motion significantly improved within the first six months after injection. At the 18-month time point, a significant improvement in cartilage structure was observed on MRI while X-ray showed no changes in subchondral bone of distal femur and proximal tibia. At the 60-month time point, the clinical scores were still improved compared to baseline, except for the range of motion, which decreased almost back to the baseline level. At 84 months, the clinical scores decreased significantly toward the baseline level, but the MRI structural characteristics of cartilage still remained significantly better than those measured at baseline. Conclusions: Adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy has substantial long-term clinical effects on patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Nitiwarangkul L, Hongku N, Pattanaprateep O, Rattanasiri S, Woratanarat P, Thakkinstian A. Which approach of total hip arthroplasty is the best efficacy and least complication? World J Orthop 2024; 15:73-93. [PMID: 38293261 PMCID: PMC10824060 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v15.i1.73] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty is as an effective intervention to relieve pain and improve hip function. Approaches of the hip have been exhaustively explored about pros and cons. The efficacy and the complications of hip approaches remains inconclusive. This study conducted an umbrella review to systematically appraise previous meta-analysis (MAs) including conventional posterior approach (PA), and minimally invasive surgeries as the lateral approach (LA), direct anterior approach (DAA), 2-incisions method, mini-lateral approach and the newest technique direct superior approach (DSA) or supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath). AIM To compare the efficacy and complications of hip approaches that have been published in all MAs and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS MAs were identified from MEDLINE and Scopus from inception until 2023. RCTs were then updated from the latest MA to September 2023. This study included studies which compared hip approaches and reported at least one outcome such as Harris Hip Score (HHS), dislocation, intra-operative fracture, wound complication, nerve injury, operative time, operative blood loss, length of hospital stay, incision length and VAS pain. Data were independently selected, extracted and assessed by two reviewers. Network MA and cluster rank and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were estimated for treatment efficacy and safety. RESULTS Finally, twenty-eight MAs (40 RCTs), and 13 RCTs were retrieved. In total 47 RCTs were included for reanalysis. The results of corrected covered area showed high degree (13.80%). Among 47 RCTs, most of the studies were low risk of bias in part of random process and outcome reporting, while other domains were medium to high risk of bias. DAA significantly provided higher HHS at three months than PA [pooled unstandardized mean difference (USMD): 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.98, 6.00 with SUCRA: 85.9], followed by DSA/SuperPath (USMD: 1.57, 95%CI: -1.55, 4.69 with SUCRA: 57.6). All approaches had indifferent dislocation and intraoperative fracture rates. SUCRA comparing early functional outcome and composite complications (dislocation, intra-operative fracture, wound complication, and nerve injury) found DAA was the best approach followed by DSA/SuperPath. CONCLUSION DSA/SuperPath had better earlier functional outcome than PA, but still could not overcome the result of DAA. This technique might be the other preferred option with acceptable complications.

Abstract
To date, we have reviewed the synthesis literature critically through four databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Eight relevant studies were examined after compliance with the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, as well as documentation quality evaluation. This report covered all randomised, controlled studies of total hip arthroplasty (THA) comparing the direct anterior approach (DAA) with the postero-lateral approach (PLA). The main result was surgical site infection rate. The secondary results were duration of the operation, length of the incision and VAS score after surgery. The results of the meta-analyses of wound infections in the present trial did not show any statistically significant difference in DAA versus PLA (between DAA and PLA) (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 0.5 to 4.04, p = 0.51). Compared with PLA, DAA had shorter surgical incision (WMD = -3.2, 95%CI: -4.00 to -2.41; p < 0.001) and longer operative times(WMD = 14. 67, 95%CI: 9.24 to 20.09; p < 0.001). Postoperative VAS scores were markedly lower in DAA compared with PLA within 6 weeks of surgery (p < 0.05), with low heterogeneities(I2 = 0). We found that DAA did not differ significantly from PLA in terms of the risk of wound infection for THA and that the surgical incisions was shorter and less postoperative pain after surgery, even though DAA surgery takes longer.

Abstract
Femoral nerve palsy (FNP) is a debilitating and relatively rare complication of total hip replacement, which can worsen the functional prognosis. Various surgical approaches, including posterior, lateral, and anterior, are employed in total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the chosen approach can influence which nerve is affected. There is currently a lack of recent research on the prevalence of FNP and its typical course of recovery. In this clinical case, we report a rare incidence of FNP that presented as a complication of primary THA in a patient with end-stage osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). A 35-year-old female presented with groin pain and restricted movement in her hip joint. She had a history of undergoing complex open-reduction surgery for hip dysplasia. During the physical examination, a positive Trendelenburg gait was identified, along with end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) secondary to the dysplasia. She subsequently underwent THA using a posterolateral approach. Following the procedure, she experienced neurological symptoms, leading to the diagnosis of FNP, a rare occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach. METHODS 44 patients who underwent THA, were randomly allocated to either MPA or SuperPATH. The data were then collected prospectively (preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks). Plain anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis and instrumental gait analysis were obtained. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) were used to assess functional and clinical outcomes. RESULTS No significant difference was found in patients' surgical outcomes. Patients in the SuperPATH group had less pain according to the VAS score at follow-up than the MPA group (p < 0.01). There was also a significant improvement in HHS and HOOS scores for all patients (p < 0.001) with the SuperPATH group showing superior changes. The comparison of mean differences in gait velocity between preoperative and 6 weeks postoperative result, revealed improvement in the SuperPATH group over the MPA group (p = 0.06). Limping was more persistent in the MPA group. Kinematic parameters demonstrated improved hip joint excursion slightly higher in the MPA group. There was no significant improvement in kinetic and kinematic parameters at different walking moments for all patients at 6 weeks compared to preoperative gait patterns. CONCLUSIONS SuperPATH and MPA both show excellent results. This study reveals that the SuperPATH technique was associated with lower postoperative pain levels, and higher physical function and quality of life. Improved functional outcomes allowed earlier postoperative rehabilitation and faster recovery. Specific improvement in gait patterns were identified with nonsignificant differences between the 2 approaches at 6 weeks follow-up.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Each approach for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a long learning curve, so a surgeon's choice to change their preferred approach needs to be guided by clear justifications. However, current evidence does not suggest that any of the THA approaches are more beneficial than others, and the choice of approach is mainly based on the knowledge and experience of the surgeon and individual patient characteristics. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety associated with different surgical approaches for THA. DATA SOURCES A comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception to March 26, 2022; reference lists of eligible trials; and related reviews. STUDY SELECTION Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing different surgical approaches, including the 2-incision approach, direct anterior approach (DAA), direct lateral approach (DLA), minimally invasive direct lateral approach (MIS-DLA), minimally invasive anterolateral approach (MIS-ALA), posterior approach (PA), minimally invasive posterior approach (MIS-PA), and supercapsular percutaneously assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPath), for primary THA. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, 2 reviewers independently extracted data on study participants, interventions, and outcomes as well as assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the certainty of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. A frequentist framework was used to inform a series of random-effects network meta-analyses. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The outcomes were hip score (range, 0-100, with higher scores indicating better overall hip condition), pain score (range, 0-100, with higher scores indicating more pain), hospitalization time, operation time, quality of life score, blood loss, cup abduction angle, and cup anteversion angle. RESULTS Of 2130 retrieved studies, 63 RCTs including 4859 participants (median [IQR] age, 64.0 [60.3-66.5] years; median [IQR] percentage male, 46.74% [38.64%-54.74%]) were eligible for analysis. Eight surgical approaches were evaluated. For hip score, DAA (mean difference [MD], 4.04; 95% CI, 1.92 to 6.16; moderate certainty), MIS-ALA (MD, 3.00; 95% CI, 0.43 to 5.59; moderate certainty), MIS-DLA (MD, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.05 to 5.68; moderate certainty), MIS-PA (MD, 4.46; 95% CI, 1.60 to 7.31; moderate certainty), PA (MD, 4.37; 95% CI, 1.87 to 6.88; high certainty), and SuperPath (MD, 5.00; 95% CI, 0.58 to 9.42; high certainty) were associated with greater improvement in hip score compared with DLA. DLA was associated with lower decrease in pain score than SuperPath (MD, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.13 to 2.20; high certainty) and MIS-DLA (MD, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.04 to 1.76; moderate certainty). PA was associated with shorter operation times compared with 2-incision (MD, -23.85 minutes; 95% CI, -36.60 to -11.10 minutes; high certainty), DAA (MD, -13.94 minutes; 95% CI, -18.79 to -9.08 minutes; moderate certainty), DLA (MD, -10.50 minutes; 95% CI, -16.07 to -4.94 minutes; high certainty), MIS-ALA (MD, -6.76 minutes; 95% CI, -12.86 to -0.65 minutes; moderate certainty), and SuperPath (MD, -13.91 minutes; 95% CI, -21.87 to -5.95 minutes; moderate certainty). The incidence of 6 types of complications did not differ significantly between the approaches. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, moderate to high certainty evidence indicated that compared with PA, all surgical approaches except DLA were associated with similar improvements of hip score but longer operation time. DLA was associated with smaller improvement of hip score. The safety of the different approaches did not show significant differences. These findings will help health professionals and patients with better clinical decision-making and also provide references for policy makers.

Abstract
Introduction The present systematic review investigated possible factors which may influence the surgical outcome of minimally invasive surgery for total hip arthroplasty (MIS THA). Methods In January 2022, the Embase, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases were accessed. All the clinical trials investigating the clinical outcome of MIS THA were considered.
Results Data from 9486 procedures were collected. Older age was moderately associated with greater Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (P = 0.02) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) (P = 0.009) at last follow-up, and shorter surgical duration (P = 0.01). Greater body mass index (BMI) at baseline was moderately associated with greater cup anteversion (P = 0.0009), Oxford Hip Score (OHS) at last follow-up (P = 0.04), longer surgical duration (P = 0.04), increased leg length discrepancy (P = 0.02), and greater rate of infection (P = 0.04). Greater VAS at baseline was weakly associated with greater VAS at last follow-up (P < 0.0001), total estimated blood lost (P = 0.01), and lower value of Harris Hip Score (HHS) (P = 0.0005). Greater OHS at baseline was associated with greater post-operative VAS (P = 0.01). Greater WOMAC at baseline was associated with lower cup anteversion (P = 0.009) and greater VAS (P = 0.02). Greater HHS at baseline was associated with shorter hospitalisation (P = 0.001). Conclusion Older age and greater BMI may represent negative prognostic factors for MIS THA. The clinical outcome is strongly influenced by the preoperative status of patients.

Strategies aimed at preventing long-term opioid use in trauma and orthopaedic surgery: a scoping review. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:238. [PMID: 35277150 PMCID: PMC8917706 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05044-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Long-term opioid use, which may have significant individual and societal impacts, has been documented in up to 20% of patients after trauma or orthopaedic surgery. The objectives of this scoping review were to systematically map the research on strategies aiming to prevent chronic opioid use in these populations and to identify knowledge gaps in this area.
Methods
This scoping review is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist. We searched seven databases and websites of relevant organizations. Selected studies and guidelines were published between January 2008 and September 2021. Preventive strategies were categorized as: system-based, pharmacological, educational, multimodal, and others. We summarized findings using measures of central tendency and frequency along with p-values. We also reported the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations presented in clinical guidelines.
Results
A total of 391 studies met the inclusion criteria after initial screening from which 66 studies and 20 guidelines were selected. Studies mainly focused on orthopaedic surgery (62,1%), trauma (30.3%) and spine surgery (7.6%). Among system-based strategies, hospital-based individualized opioid tapering protocols, and regulation initiatives limiting the prescription of opioids were associated with statistically significant decreases in morphine equivalent doses (MEDs) at 1 to 3 months following trauma and orthopaedic surgery. Among pharmacological strategies, only the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and beta blockers led to a significant reduction in MEDs up to 12 months after orthopaedic surgery. Most studies on educational strategies, multimodal strategies and psychological strategies were associated with significant reductions in MEDs beyond 1 month. The majority of recommendations from clinical practice guidelines were of low level of evidence.
Conclusions
This scoping review advances knowledge on existing strategies to prevent long-term opioid use in trauma and orthopaedic surgery patients. We observed that system-based, educational, multimodal and psychological strategies are the most promising. Future research should focus on determining which strategies should be implemented particularly in trauma patients at high risk for long-term use, testing those that can promote a judicious prescription of opioids while preventing an illicit use, and evaluating their effects on relevant patient-reported and social outcomes.

[PMID: 34692962 PMCID: PMC8517286 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2021.08.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [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: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The Fragility Index (FI) and Reverse Fragility Index are powerful tools to supplement the P value in evaluation of randomized clinical trial (RCT) outcomes. These metrics are defined as the number of patients needed to change the significance level of an outcome. The purpose of this study was to calculate these metrics for published RCTs in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Methods We performed a systematic review of RCTs in TJA over the last decade. For each study, we calculated the FI (for statistically significant outcomes) or Reverse Fragility Index (for nonstatistically significant outcomes) for all dichotomous, categorical outcomes. We also used the Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate publication-level variables. Results We included 104 studies with 473 outcomes; 92 were significant, and 381 were nonstatistically significant. The median FI was 6 overall and 4 and 7 for significant and nonsignificant outcomes, respectively. There was a positive correlation between FI and sample size (R = 0.14, P = .002) and between FI and P values (R = 0.197, P = .000012). Conclusions This study is the largest evaluation of FI in orthopedics literature to date. We found a median FI that was comparable to or higher than FIs calculated in other orthopedic subspecialties. Although the mean and median FIs were greater than the 2 recommended by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines to demonstrate strong evidence, a large percentage of studies have an FI < 2. This suggests that the TJA literature is on par or slightly better than other subspecialties, but improvements must be made. Level of Evidence Level I; Systematic Review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to assess and quantify hip abductor muscle strength deficits after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to determine associations with external factors. METHODS Studies reporting on hip abductor muscle strength before and/or after THA performed for osteoarthritis or atraumatic osteonecrosis of the hip were considered for inclusion. Data sources were Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Muscle strength on the affected side was compared with the healthy contralateral side or with control subjects. Study quality was assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Nineteen studies reporting on 875 subjects met the inclusion criteria. Patients scheduled for THA had a mean strength deficit of 18.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) [-33.9, -3.2%]) compared with control subjects. Abductor muscle strength then increased by 20.2% (CI [5.6, 34.8%]) at 4-6 months, 29.6% (CI [4.7, 54.4%]) at 9-12 months, and 49.8% (CI [-31.0, 130.6%]) at 18-24 months postoperatively compared with preoperative values. For unilateral THA, the mean torque ratio was 86.3% (CI [75.4, 97.2%]) and 93.4% (CI [75.1, 111.6%]) before and >24 months after THA, respectively. Study quality was low to moderate. CONCLUSION Hip abductor muscle strength deficits may gradually improve during 24 months after THA possibly without complete recovery. Cautious interpretation of these findings is warranted because high-quality evidence is largely missing.

PROSPECT guideline for total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review and procedure-specific postoperative pain management recommendations. Anaesthesia 2021; 76:1082-1097. [PMID: 34015859 DOI: 10.1111/anae.15498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 100] [Impact Index Per Article: 33.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to develop recommendations for the management of postoperative pain after primary elective total hip arthroplasty, updating the previous procedure-specific postoperative pain management (PROSPECT) guidelines published in 2005 and updated in July 2010. Randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses published between July 2010 and December 2019 assessing postoperative pain using analgesic, anaesthetic, surgical or other interventions were identified from MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases. Five hundred and twenty studies were initially identified, of which 108 randomised trials and 21 meta-analyses met the inclusion criteria. Peri-operative interventions that improved postoperative pain include: paracetamol; cyclo-oxygenase-2-selective inhibitors; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; and intravenous dexamethasone. In addition, peripheral nerve blocks (femoral nerve block; lumbar plexus block; fascia iliaca block), single-shot local infiltration analgesia, intrathecal morphine and epidural analgesia also improved pain. Limited or inconsistent evidence was found for all other approaches evaluated. Surgical and anaesthetic techniques appear to have a minor impact on postoperative pain, and thus their choice should be based on criteria other than pain. In summary, the analgesic regimen for total hip arthroplasty should include pre-operative or intra-operative paracetamol and cyclo-oxygenase-2-selective inhibitors or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, continued postoperatively with opioids used as rescue analgesics. In addition, intra-operative intravenous dexamethasone 8-10 mg is recommended. Regional analgesic techniques such as fascia iliaca block or local infiltration analgesia are recommended, especially if there are contra-indications to basic analgesics and/or in patients with high expected postoperative pain. Epidural analgesia, femoral nerve block, lumbar plexus block and gabapentinoid administration are not recommended as the adverse effects outweigh the benefits. Although intrathecal morphine 0.1 mg can be used, the PROSPECT group emphasises the risks and side-effects associated with its use and provides evidence that adequate analgesia may be achieved with basic analgesics and regional techniques without intrathecal morphine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether there is any clinical superiority for the two-incision total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the mini-posterior THA remains controversial. The present meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively compare the clinical outcomes between the two mini-invasive THAs. METHODS Two authors searched the database of Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library to screen eligible studies individually. The quality evaluation of included studies was performed according to the principle of risk-of-bias of the Cochrane Library. The pooled results were analysed by Review Manager 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of seven prospective studies (including five randomized controlled trials) with 423 hips were finally included for meta-analysis. The pooled results revealed that the mini-posterior THA outperformed the two-incision THA in shortening operative times, reducing blood loss and postoperative fracture risks, while no significant difference was found between the two surgery methods with respect to HSS scoring, SF-12 scoring, postoperative function recovery and other postoperative complications. CONCLUSION Based on the pooled results, we suggested the mini-posterior THA as a preferable choice for patients suffering from severe advanced hip diseases.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:3208-3213. [PMID: 32622716 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [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: 04/17/2020] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis impacting the practice of surgeons performing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Seeking to evaluate changes in prescribers' practices, we asked the following questions: (1) Have the initial discharge opioids following THA changed and (2) Have initial total oral morphine milligram equivalents (OME) prescribed following THA decreased since 2014? METHODS We retrospectively reviewed discharge prescriptions for 4233 primary THAs performed between fiscal years (FYs) 2014 and 2018 throughout our healthcare system. Drug, dosing, and total OMEs were recorded. We categorized prescriptions into 3 groups: short-acting narcotics only, short-acting plus long-acting narcotics, and short-acting narcotics plus tramadol. Mean age was 59 and 63% were males. RESULTS The proportion of patients receiving tramadol increased from 2% (FY14) to 25% (FY18) while long-acting opioid prescriptions decreased from 44% (FY14) to 14% (FY18). Oxycodone (82%) was the most common short-acting narcotic. In total, we observed a 27% decrease in initial OME prescribed to a mean of 683 mg (FY18) (P < .0001). Short-acting only protocols had a 19% OME decrease to 589 mg (FY18). Short plus long-acting protocols haed a 23% OME decrease to 939 mg (FY18). Short-acting plus tramadol had an OME of 849 mg (FY18). CONCLUSION Despite a 27% observed decrease in initial OME prescription following THA, the 683 mg mean OME in FY18 was high. Substituting tramadol for a long-acting narcotic failed to have a dramatic clinical impact on decreasing OME. These data suggest that decreasing the number of short-acting narcotic pills is a critical factor in decreasing OME.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conservation of abductor muscle strength is directly associated with physical function after total hip replacement (THA). Although many studies have tried to explore and quantify a potential abductor muscle strength deficit after THA as well as identify possible causes and treatment options, this topic has not been addressed systematically. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Human-based studies reporting measurements of hip abductor strength will be included in this review. Studies reporting on hip abductor strength measured manually or isometric measurements at an abduction angle other than 0° will not be considered. No restriction will be placed on study design, publication date operative approach, prosthesis design, age and sex of the patients or severity of OA. Data sources will be Embase via embase.com, Medline ALL via Ovid and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The preliminary search was conducted on 5 May 2019. Data regarding absolute values or torque ratio of hip abductor torque between sides as well as patient demographic data, surgical approaches and rehabilitation protocols will be extracted. The assessment of quality and risk of bias will be performed with the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The screening, data extraction and quality assessment will be performed by two reviewers independently. Where necessary, a third review author will make a final judgement. Narrative synthesis as well as tabular presentation of the extracted data will be included. Whenever possible, metaregression and subgroup specific meta-analyses will be used to investigate the influence of time since THA and type of measurement (isokinetic or isometric) on the different outcomes. In case of sufficient information, these analyses will be extended to include characteristics such as age, sex, surgical approach or rehabilitation programme. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION No ethics approval is required. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020153185.

Postero-posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2020; 44:2577-2585.

Abstract
Introduction Evolving surgical techniques in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have sought to make the surgical procedures safer. This requires having highly reproducible incision landmarks and simplifying the procedures. The postero-posterolateral approach, a very posterior incision in the hip, meets those requirements. However, this has not helped to reduce the post-operative dislocation rate. The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of combining the postero-posterolateral approach and next-generation dual mobility cups (DMC) in terms of dislocation risk. Materials and methods One hundred and fifty-eight THA were performed consecutively using the postero-posterolateral approach on 150 patients, by a single surgeon, over a 49-month period (November 2010 to December 2014). All acetabular implants were impacted. Results Average length of the incision was 7 cm (6 to 9 cm). Mean duration of the surgical procedure was 75 minutes (40 to 100). Mean blood loss was estimated at 210 cc (25 to 410 cc). All patients could walk with assistance the day before transferring to a rehabilitation centre. There was one posterior dislocation (0.63%), without recurrence. Conclusion The straightforwardness and reproducibility of the anatomical landmarks used for the postero-posterolateral approach, added to the stability of the dual mobility cup, result in a safe combination in the therapeutic THA arsenal.

Abstract
Understanding trends in operative times has become increasingly important in light of total hip arthroplasty (THA) being added to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 2019 Potentially Misvalued Codes List. The purpose of this review was to explore the mean THA operative times reported in the literature in order (1) to determine if they have increased, decreased, or remained the same for patients reported on between 2000 and 2019 and (2) to determine what factors might have contributed to the difference (or lack thereof) in THA operative time over a contemporary study period. METHODS The PubMed and EBSCOhost databases were queried to identify all articles, published between 2000 and 2019, that reported on THA operative times. The keywords used were "operative," "time," and "total hip arthroplasty." An article was included if the full text was available, it was written in English, and it reported operative times of THAs. An article was excluded if it did not discuss operative time; it reported only comparative, rather than absolute, operative times; or the cohort consisted of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) and THAs, exclusively of revision THAs, or exclusively of robotic THAs. Data on manual or primary THAs were extracted from studies including robotic or revision THAs. Thirty-five articles reporting on 630,675 hips that underwent THA between 1996 and 2016 met our criteria. RESULTS The overall weighted average operative time was 93.20 minutes (range, 55.65 to 149.00 minutes). When the study cohorts were stratified according to average operative time, the highest number fell into the 90 to 99-minute range. Operative time was stable throughout the years reported. Factors that led to increased operative times included increased body mass index (BMI), less surgical experience, and the presence of a trainee. CONCLUSIONS The average operative time across the included articles was approximately 95 minutes and has been relatively stable over the past 2 decades. On the basis of our findings, we cannot support CMS lowering the procedural valuation of THA given the stability of its operative times and the relationship between operative time and cost.

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

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

A 10-Year Follow-Up of Two-Incision and Modified Watson-Jones Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:8915104. [PMID: 28386565 PMCID: PMC5366216 DOI: 10.1155/2017/8915104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2017] [Revised: 02/24/2017] [Accepted: 03/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Long-term data and information indicating whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are safe and effective with total hip arthroplasty (THA) are lacking. Between 2004 and 2006, 75 patients with alcohol-related osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who underwent 75 THAs with the two-incision approach were studied. The medical records, radiographic parameters, and functional outcomes were collected prospectively. All data were compared with those for matched patients who underwent a modified Watson-Jones (WJ) approach. THA using the two-incision approach was associated with longer operation time, more blood loss, more lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, and more periprosthetic femoral fractures (p < 0.05 for all four) than the modified WJ approach. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) increased significantly from the period preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively and thereafter up to the last follow-up in both groups. However, there were no significant differences in terms of radiographic parameters and functional outcomes between the two groups throughout the study period. Both the two-incision and the modified WJ approach provided satisfactory results and survival rates at a mean follow-up of 10.8 years. A prospective, randomized, large-scale cohort study is still warranted for evidence-based recommendations.

Abstract
The purpose of this single-surgeon randomized study was to determine if functional recovery during the early postoperative period differs between the direct anterior (DAA) and posterior approaches (PA). An a priori power analysis indicated that 26 patients per group were needed, and 6-week follow-up data were available for 51 THAs to date. Hospitals stays were significantly shorter for the DAA group (1.4 vs. 2.0 days, P=0.01), and the change in Pain Scores was significantly greater for the DAA group (P=0.04). The DAA group also discontinued use of an assistive ambulatory device at an earlier time (33.0 vs. 43.1 days, P=0.03). Despite these differences, no other subjective or objective functional measures differed between the 2 groups at the 6-week follow-up.

Abstract
Total joint arthroplasty procedures have been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of end stage hip and knee arthritis. The purpose of this paper is to outline various processes utilized to assess the outcomes of rapid recovery programs and to outline areas where future research and metrics will be beneficial in demonstrating the effectiveness of these programs. We have highlighted the use of large databases [NIS (National Inpatient Sample) and NSQIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Program)] to help identify patients who are candidates for the rapid recovery approach. Continued thorough investigation should not only justify rapid recovery, but also move traditional joint arthroplasty programs to more efficient cost effective care once appropriate metrics are identified that support the need for resources for rapid recovery programs.

Abstract
Tissue-sparing surgery for hip replacement aims to minimize muscle damage and conserve the femoral neck through the use of mini-prostheses. We propose a modification of the classical direct lateral access procedure that preserves the gluteus medius. Further advantages during the surgical phase include limited blood loss, visualization of the entire acetabulum, and sparing of the transverse ligament. Precise implantation is facilitated and normal biomechanics are preserved. The gluteus medius is divided longitudinally between the anterior third and posterior two-thirds to provide access to the gluteus minimus, which is detached from the femoral insertion together with a small portion of the vastus lateralis, forming a flap that exposes the underlying articular capsule. When the femoral head is revealed, a decision is made to either continue with its dislocation directly or to resect it and remove it separately to avoid damaging the gluteus medius during dislocation. Upon removal of the femoral head, with the limb flexed and slightly over-rotated, the acetabulum is completely visible. Limb length is maintained through the use of reference stitches on the gluteus minimus tendon and the proximal insertion of the vastus lateralis. In keeping with the minimally invasive philosophy, only pathological tissue is removed (marginal osteophytes, geodes, joint capsule, cartilage to the point of bleeding and pulvinar). We have performed more than 2,000 implants with this procedure since 1990. Advantages and potential critical points are discussed.

Abstract
The concept that small incisions lead to a better outcome in many procedures has extended into most surgical areas, orthopaedic surgery among them. However, in some cases there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend these procedures. This article attempts to provide an updated review of the works published with sufficient scientific evidence on the advantages of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) compared to conventional access approaches. The published articles, meta-analyses and systematic literature reviews with level I or II evidence are reviewed in topographic order. Wherever possible, the information available on the costs-benefits of this type of surgery is also reviewed.

Abstract
Hip replacement is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. Among the multiple reasons that joints degenerate, arthritis leads as a cause of hip pain and failure. Currently, most artificial joints wear out after 10 to 20 years, potentially necessitating another surgery. Total hip arthroplasty (or total hip replacement) involves replacing the femoral neck and femoral head. Devices are held in place using either cement, cementless, or hybrid procedures. Although it occurs in fewer than 1% of procedures, infection can be devastating and lead to the need for multiple surgeries. Today, several options are available when hip replacement is needed. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) employs the same procedures and materials used in conventional hip surgery but results in less soft-tissue dissection. MIS anterior-hip arthroplasty is a variant of MIS that shortens recovery time. Hip resurfacing spares the femoral head and is generally viewed as a more complicated procedure that may be more appropriate for younger, more active patients. Computed-assisted surgery may allow better positioning of the acetabular component of the prosthesis. Two developing issues related to devices used for hip replacement are device recall and device registries.
