J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:S32-S38. [PMID: 38823521 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.064] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute fractures around the hip are prevalent injuries associated with potentially devastating outcomes. The growing utilization of arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in the elderly is likely a result of improvements in reoperation rates and postoperative function. Compared to hemiarthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty is associated with a slight functional benefit that is unlikely noticeable for many patients, as well as minimal differences in complications and patient reported outcome measures. However, the evidence supporting cement use in femoral stem fixation is robust. Multiple high power randomized controlled trial-based studies indicate cement fixation brings more predictable outcomes and fewer reoperations. In the setting of acute acetabular fracture, total hip arthroplasty is a favorable approach for elderly patients and fracture patterns associated with increased risk of revision after open reduction and internal fixation. Variations in patient characteristics and fracture patterns demand careful consideration whenever selecting the optimal treatment. In fracture patient populations, comanagement is an important consideration when seeking to reduce complications and promote cost-effective quality care.

[PMID: 38401616 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.02.039] [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: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative calcar fractures (IOCFs) are an established complication of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prompt recognition and management may prevent subsequent postoperative complications. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and revision rates of THAs with IOCFs identified and managed intraoperatively. METHODS There were 11,438 primary cementless THAs performed at a single institution from 2009 to 2022. Prospectively collected data on cases with an IOCF was compared to cases without the complication. The fracture group had a lower body mass index (26.9 versus 28.9 kg/m2; P = .01). Patient age, sex, and mean follow-up (3.2 (0 to 12.8) versus 3.5 years (0 to 14); P = .45) were similar between groups. RESULTS An IOCF occurred in 62 of 11,438 (0.54%) cases. The THAs done via a direct anterior approach experienced the lowest rate of fractures (31 of 7,505, 0.4%) compared to postero-lateral (27 of 3,759, 0.7%; P = .03) and lateral (4 of 165, 2.4%; P < .01) approaches. Of the IOCFs, 48 of 62 (77%) were managed with cerclage cabling, 4 of 62 (6.5%) with intraoperative stem design change and cabling, 4 of 62 (6.5%) with restricted weight-bearing, and 6 of 62 (9.7%) with no modification to the standard postoperative protocol. The IOCF group experienced one case of postoperative component subsidence. No subjects in the IOCF cohort required revision, and rates were similar between groups (0 of 62, 0% versus 215 of 11,376, 1.9%; P = .63). Postoperative Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement scores were comparable (85.7 versus 86.4; P = .80). CONCLUSIONS Cementless THA complicated by IOCF had similar postoperative revision rates and patient-reported outcome measures at early follow-up when compared to patients not experiencing this complication. Surgeons may use these data to provide postoperative counseling on expectations and outcomes following these rare intraoperative events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic fractures around total hip arthroplasty (THA) represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. The use of tranexamic acid (TXA) in arthroplasty is well described, yet little literature supports its role in periprosthetic femur fractures (PFFs). This study investigated the effect of preoperative TXA administration on transfusion rate and volume, length of stay, and 90-day complication rates in patients undergoing revision THA for PFF. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients undergoing revision THA for PFF (Vancouver B2/B3) at our institution from August 2016 to June 2022 were identified. Routine TXA administration at surgical start was introduced in 2018. Patient demographics, operative time, blood product use, length of stay, and 90-day complications were collected. Patients were divided into those who received TXA preoperatively and those who did not. RESULTS A total of 56 patients were included. There was no difference in age, sex, anesthetic type, fracture classification, or preoperative blood values between cohorts. TXA significantly lowered the amount of blood product required (2.3 units vs 3.2 units, P=.023). Preoperative TXA did not independently reduce length of stay; however, blood transfusion was associated with increased length of stay (7 days vs 4.7 days, P=.003). There were no differences in 90-day complications. CONCLUSION Among patients who underwent revision THA for Vancouver B2/B3 PFF, TXA did not affect transfusion rates but did result in the use of fewer blood products without an increase in complications. We support routine use of TXA in this patient population. Future studies should assess earlier administration of TXA in the emergency department or once patients' conditions have been medically optimized. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].

Abstract
Aims Periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures (PFFs) are a major complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Health status after PFF is not specifically investigated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the health status pattern over two years after sustaining a PFF. Methods A cohort of patients with PFF after THA was derived from the Brabant Injury Outcomes Surveillance (BIOS) study. The BIOS study, a prospective, observational, multicentre follow-up cohort study, was conducted to obtain data by questionnaires pre-injury and at one week, and one, three, six, 12, and 24 months after trauma. Primary outcome measures were the EuroQol five-dimension three-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), the Health Utility Index 2 (HUI2), and the Health Utility Index 3 (HUI3). Secondary outcome measures were general measurements such as duration of hospital stay and mortality. Results A total of 70 patients with a PFF were included. EQ-5D utility scores were significantly lower on all timepoints except at six months' follow-up compared to pre-injury. EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) scores at one month's follow-up were significantly lower compared to pre-injury. The percentage of reported problems at two years was higher for all dimensions except anxiety/depression when compared to pre-injury. The mean EQ-5D utility score was 0.26 higher in males compared to females (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01 to 0.42; p = 0.003). The mean EQ-VAS score for males was 8.9 points higher when compared to females over all timepoints (95% CI 1.2 to 16.7; p = 0.027). Mortality was 10% after two years' follow-up. Conclusion PFF patients are a frail population with substantial functional impairment at baseline. Post-injury, they have a significant and clinically relevant lower health status two years after trauma when compared to pre-injury. Health status improves the most between one and three months after injury. Two years after PFF, more patients experience problems in mobility, self-care, usual activities, and pain/discomfort than pre-injury.

Abstract
Proximal femoral fractures are frequent and complex injuries requiring prompt and targeted care. Numerous treatment strategies have been described, some of which have been assessed and clinically implemented clinically. The aim of surgical is always the restoration of a pain-free and stable extremity. Mostly elderly patients are affected and treatment is associated with high postoperative complications and mortality rates. With increasing numbers of patients, the topic is of great medical and economic relevance. In this work, the choice of implants for the osteosynthesis of proximal femoral fractures - as depending on the fracture type - will be examined, as based on a review of current literature. Standard care includes cannulated screws, sliding hips screws and cephalomedullary nails. In addition, the influence of implant positioning, fracture reduction and additional measures such as cement augmentation are evaluated and discussed. Careful fracture reduction and the quality of implant positioning are paramount in order to avoid complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of all periprosthetic fractures (PPF), which require complex surgical treatment associated with high morbidity and mortality, is predicted to increase. The evolving surgical management has created a knowledge gap regarding its impact on immediate outcomes. This study aimed to describe current management strategies for PPF and their repercussions for in-hospital outcomes as well as to evaluate their implications for the community. METHODS PIPPAS (Peri-Implant PeriProsthetic Survival Analysis) was a prospective multicentre observational study of 1387 PPF performed during 2021. Descriptive statistics summarized the epidemiology, fracture characteristics, management, and immediate outcomes. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was employed to evaluate potential predictors of in-hospital mortality, complications, discharge status, and weight-bearing restrictions. RESULTS The study encompassed 32 (2.3%) shoulder, 4 (0.3%) elbow, 751 (54.1%) hip, 590 (42.5%) knee, and 10 (0.7%) ankle PPF. Patients were older (median 84 years, IQR 77-89), frail [median clinical frailty scale (CFS) 5, IQR 3-6], presented at least one comorbidity [median Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) 5, IQR 4-7], were community dwelling (81.8%), and had outdoor ambulation ability (65.6%). Femoral knee PPF were most frequently associated with uncemented femoral components, while femoral hip PPF occurred equally in cemented and uncemented stems. Patients were managed surgically (82%), with co-management (73.9%), through open approaches (85.9%) after almost 4 days (IQR, 51.9-153.6 h), with prosthesis revision performed in 33.8% of femoral hip PPF and 6.5% of femoral knee PPF. For half of the patients, the discharge instructions mandated weight-bearing restrictions. In-hospital mortality rates were 5.2% for all PPF and 6.2% for femoral hip PPF. Frailty, age > 84 years, mild cognitive impairment, CFS > 3, CCI > 3, and non-geriatric involvement were candidate predictors for in-hospital mortality, medical complications, and discharge to a nursing care facility. Management involving revision arthroplasty by experienced surgeons favoured full weight-bearing, while an open surgical approach favoured weight-bearing restrictions. CONCLUSIONS Current arthroplasty fixation check and revision rates deviate from established guidelines, yet full weight-bearing is favoured. A surgical delay of over 100 h and a lack of geriatric co-management were related to in-hospital mortality and medical complications. This study recommends judicious hypoaggressive approaches. Addressing complications and individualizing the surgical strategy can lead to enhanced functional outcomes, alleviating the economic and social burdens upon hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data comparing periprosthetic hip fracture (PPHFx) outcomes and resource utilization to native fractures. Many surgeons consider periprosthetic hip fractures to be more severe injuries than native fractures. The aim of this systematic review is to characterize the outcomes of PPHFx and assess their severity relative to native hip fractures (NHFx). METHODS A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis systematic review was conducted using Medline, Biosis, and Cinahl. Primary outcomes were time to surgery, length of stay (LOS), cost of management, disposition, complication rates, readmission rates, and mortality. RESULTS 14 articles (13,489 patients) from 2010 to 2018 were included in the study. Study quality was generally low. Patient follow-up ranged from 1 month to 3.2 years. LOS ranged from 5.2 to 38 days. US cost of management was best estimated at $53,669 ± 19,817. Discharge to skilled nursing facilities ranged from 64.5 to 74.5%. Time to surgery ranged from 1.9 to 5.7 days. Readmission rates ranged from 12 to 32%. Per Clavien-Dindo classification, 33.9% suffered minor complications; 14.3% suffered major complications. 1 month and 1 year mortality ranged from 2.9% to 10% and 9.7% to 45%, respectively. CONCLUSION Time to surgery and LOS were longer for PPHFx relative to NHFx. Complications' rates were higher for PPHFx compared to NHFx. There is no evidence for differences in LOS, cost, discharge, readmission rates, or mortality between PPHFx and NHFx. These results may serve as a baseline in future evaluation of PPHFx management.

Abstract
Objectives To compare mortality rates between patients treated surgically for periprosthetic fractures (PPF) after total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), peri-implant (PI), and interprosthetic (IP) fractures while identifying risk factors associated with mortality following PPF. Design Retrospective. Setting Single, Level II Trauma Center. Patients/Participants A retrospective review was conducted of 129 consecutive patients treated surgically for fractures around a pre-existing prosthesis or implant from 2013 to 2020. Patients were separated into 4 comparison groups: THA, TKA, PI, and IP fractures. Intervention Revision implant or arthroplasty, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), intramedullary nailing (IMN), percutaneous screws, or a combination of techniques. Main Outcome Measurements Primary outcome measures include mortality rates of different types of PPF, PI, and IP fractures at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year postoperative. We analyzed risk factors associated with mortality aimed to determine whether treatment type affects mortality. Results One hundred twenty-nine patients were included for final analysis. Average follow-up was similar between all groups. The overall 1-year mortality rate was 1 month (5%), 3 months (12%), 6 months (13%), 1 year (15%), and 2 years (22%). There were no differences in mortality rates between each group at 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years (P-value = 0.86). A Kaplan-Meier survival curve demonstrated no difference in survivorship up to 2 years. Older than 65 years, history of hypothyroidism and dementia, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) led to increased mortality. There was no survival benefit in treating patients with PPFs with either revision, ORIF, IMN, or a combination of techniques. Conclusion The overall mortality rates observed were 1 month (5%), 3 months (12%), 6 months (13%), 1 year (15%), and 2 years (22%), and no differences were found between each group at all follow-up time points. Patients aged 65 and older with a history of hypothyroidism and/or dementia discharged to an SNF are at increased risk for mortality. From a mortality perspective, surgeons should not hesitate to choose the surgical treatment they feel most comfortable performing. Level of Evidence Level III.

[PMID: 37343648 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.06.014] [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: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the incidence of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (POPFF) following hip arthroplasty with either a cemented polished taper slip (PTS) stem or a cemented composite beam (CB) stem in comparative studies. METHODS A systematic review of comparative studies, written in English and published in peer-reviewed journals since the year 2000, was conducted. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.The overall study qualities were good. There were 913,021 patients from 18 cohorts included in the meta-analysis. There were 294,540 patients who received a CB stem and 618,481 received a PTS stem. Cohorts were classified as high- or low-risk for POPFF based on patient risk factors. A metanalysis was performed using a random effects model, and the relative incidence with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was reported. RESULTS The patients at low risk of POPFF had an incidence rate ratio of 3.14 (CI: 2.48, 3.98) for the PTS group versus the CB group. Whereas, the patients at high risk of POPFF had an incidence rate ratio of 9.87 (CI: 3.63, 26.80) for the PTS group versus the CB group. CONCLUSIONS The risk of POPFF is lower when hip arthroplasty was performed using a CB stem versus a PTS stem. This protective effect was greatest in patients who had a higher risk of POPFF. Surgeons should consider the effect of cemented stem choice on the risk of subsequent periprosthetic femur fracture, particularly in frail or elderly patients who are at a higher risk of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture.

Predictive factors for one-year mortality after surgery for periprosthetic femoral fracture: A retrospective multicenter (TRON group) study. J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:299-305. [PMID: 36669954 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2022.12.015] [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: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or bipolar hip arthroplasty (BHA) represents a challenging situation and the treatment is associated with high rates of complications and mortality. The aims of this multicenter retrospective study were to determine 1-year mortality and to identify predictors associated with mortality, including patient characteristics and surgical factors, in patients undergoing surgery for PFF after THA or BHA. METHODS We collected 249 cases of PPF after THA or BHA that were treated in our 11 hospitals (named the TRON group) between January 2010 and December 2019. We excluded patients who were conservatively treated, cases in which the 1-year postoperative outcome was unknown, and Vancouver type A cases. Finally, we analyzed 161 patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors affecting 1-year mortality. Patient-side factors such as age, BMI, fracture type, and preoperative mobility, and surgical factors such as surgical procedure, time to surgery, and operation time were analyzed respectively. RESULTS Eighteen of 161 patients (11.2%) died one year after surgery. The multivariate Cox regression analysis identified older age, wheelchair status before injury, and operation time as independent predictors of 1-year mortality (older age: hazard ratio [HR] 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.15, P = 0.048; wheelchair status: HR 5.82, 95% CI 1.01-33.47, P = 0.049; operation time: [HR] 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, P = 0.00929). Meanwhile, fracture type according to the Vancouver classification, body mass index, presence of previous fragility fractures, type of fixation, blood loss during operation, and time to surgery were not independent predictors of 1-year mortality in this analysis. ConclusionThe 1-year mortality rate after surgery for PPFs patients was 11.2%. Factors associated with older and poor activity of daily living (ADL) performance (e.g., wheelchair status before injury), and longer operative time were associated with 1-year mortality after surgery for PPF. Surgeons should carefully plan treatment according to each patient's condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality following revision hip surgery for periprosthetic fracture (PPF) is comparable to neck of femur fractures. Our institution provides a regional "PPF Service". The aim of this study was to determine the time to surgery and mortality rate for PPF, compared to revision for infection or aseptic loosening. METHODS Revision arthroplasty procedures performed for PPF, infection or aseptic loosening between January 2014 and December 2015 were identified. Comparisons were made between the 3 groups for baseline demographics, admission to higher-level care, length of stay, complications and mortality. RESULTS There were 37 PPF, 71 infected and 221 aseptic revisions. PPF had a higher proportion of females (65% vs. 39% in infection and 53% in aseptic; p = 0.031) and grade 3 and 4 ASA patients (p = 0.006). Median time to surgery for PPF was 8 days (95% CI, 6-16). Single-stage procedures were performed in 84% of PPF, 42% of infections and 99% of aseptic revisions (p < 0.001). 19% of PPF revisions required HDU admission, 1% in the aseptic group and none in the infection group. Median length of stay was significantly different (PPF 10; infection 14; aseptic 8 days (p < 0.001). The 1-year mortality rate for PPF was 0%, 2.8% for infection and 0.9% in the aseptic group (p = 0.342). CONCLUSIONS Despite the PPF group having higher ASA grades and more HDU admissions, our 1-year mortality rate was 0% and not significantly different to infection or aseptic loosening. Our low complication and 1-year mortality rate is encouraging and supports the safety of a regional "Periprosthetic Fracture Service".

Abstract
Background During manual broaching (MB) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), off-axis forces delivered to the proximal femur and broach malalignment can lead to fractures and cortical perforations. Powered broaching (PB) is a novel alternative that delivers consistent impaction forces and reduces workload. This is the first large-scale study to compare intraoperative and 90-day rates of periprosthetic femur fractures (PFFs) and perforations in THA performed using MB vs PB. Methods Our institutional database was reviewed for all patients undergoing primary cementless direct anterior THA from 2016 to 2021. Three surgeons performing 2048 THAs (MB = 800; PB = 1248) using the same stem design were included. PFFs and perforations within 90 days of the index procedure were compared. Differences in length of surgery and demographics were assessed. Results Calcar fractures occurred in <1% of patients (PB [0.96%, 12/1248] vs MB [0.25%, 2/800]; P = .06). Rates of trochanteric fractures did not differ (PB = 0.32% [4/1248] vs MB = 0.38% [3/800]; P = .84). Cortical perforations occurred in 0.24% (3/1248) of the PB cohort and in 0.75% (6/800) of the MB cohort (P = .09). No revisions due to aseptic loosening or PFF occurred within 120 days of surgery. Conclusions Our single-center experience with powered femoral broaching in THA demonstrates PB is a safe and efficient means of performing direct anterior THA. Low rates (<1%) of PFF, perforation, and revision can be achieved. Given our positive experience with PB, all surgeon authors utilize PB nearly exclusively for elective primary direct anterior THA.

Addressing osteoporosis treatment after hemiarthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture: impact on survival rates after a subsequent periprosthetic femoral fracture - a multicenter (TRON group) retrospective study. Arch Osteoporos 2023; 18:122. [PMID: 37726555 DOI: 10.1007/s11657-023-01330-x] [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: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of osteoporosis treatment on the prognosis of patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPF) following femoral neck fracture (FNF). Our results suggested an association between osteoporosis treatment and potentially improved survival prognosis in patients who underwent surgery for PPF. These results imply that osteoporosis treatment may have a beneficial effect on patient outcomes. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effect of osteoporosis treatment on the prognosis of periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPF) patients after femoral neck fracture. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study named as TRON was conducted. The study population included 156 PPF patients who had undergone hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture between January 2010 and December 2019. Patients were divided based on whether they had received osteoporosis treatment before PPF injury. A log-rank test was used to compare survival rates. We conducted a Cox proportional hazards analysis to identify factors associated with the survival rate after PFF injury. RESULTS Twenty-seven of the 156 patients had received osteoporosis treatment prior to PPF injury. The 1-year and 2-year overall survival rates after PPF were 80.9% and 75.3%, respectively. The log-rank test revealed that the 1-year survival rate with and without osteoporosis treatment was 89.5% and 78.1%, respectively (P=0.012). In the Cox proportional hazards analysis, age, BMI, presence or absence of surgery, and presence or absence of osteoporosis treatment showed independent associations with the survival rate after PFF injury. The hazard ratio for the presence of osteoporosis treatment was 0.22 (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.75, P=0.015). CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest an association between osteoporosis treatment and potentially improved survival prognosis in patients who underwent surgery for PPF. These results imply that osteoporosis treatment may have a beneficial effect on patient outcomes. It is important to consider that osteoporosis treatment could be significant not only in preventing secondary fractures but also in potentially improving prognosis in the rare event of PPF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic fractures now account for 14.1% of all hip revisions. Surgery is often highly specialised and can involve the revision of implants, fixation of fractures, or a combination of both. Delays to surgery are frequent as specialist equipment and surgeons are often required. UK guidelines are currently moving in favour of early surgery in a similar way to the neck of femur fractures, despite a lack of evidential consensus. METHODS A retrospective review of all patients who underwent surgery for periprosthetic fractures around a total hip replacement (THR) at a single unit between 2012 and 2019 was performed. Risk factors for complications, length of stay (LOS), and time to surgery data were collected and analysed using regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 88 patients met the inclusion criteria: 63 (72%) were treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and 25 (28%) underwent revision THR. Baseline characteristics were similar in both the ORIF and revision groups. Revision surgery was more likely to be delayed than ORIF owing to the need for specialist equipment and personnel (median 143 h vs. 120 h, p = 0.04). Median LOS was 17 days if operated within 72 h and 27 days if delayed beyond this (p < 0.0001), but there was no increase in 90-day mortality (p = 0.66), HDU admission (p = 0.33), or perioperative complications (p = 0.27) with delay beyond 72 h. CONCLUSION Periprosthetic fractures are complex and require a highly specialised approach. Delaying surgery does not result in increased mortality or complications but does increase length of stay. Further multicentre research into this area is required.

Abstract
Background Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femur fractures have traditionally been treated with revision arthroplasty. However, there is increasing evidence that open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) may be a valid alternative treatment strategy. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of ORIF versus revision arthroplasty for the treatment of Vancouver B2 fractures and evaluate the influence of the treating surgeon's fellowship training on treatment selection. Methodology This was a retrospective cohort study of 31 patients treated for Vancouver B2 periprosthetic fractures (16 ORIF and 15 revision arthroplasty) at a single academic Level 1 trauma center. Outcome measures included one-year mortality, revision, reoperation, infection, and blood loss. Results There were no statistically significant differences in revision, reoperation, or infection at an average follow-up of 65 weeks. Median estimated blood loss was higher in the arthroplasty group (700 cc versus 400 cc; P = 0.04). There were five deaths in the ORIF group versus one in the revision group (P = 0.18). Cases treated by surgeons with fellowship training in arthroplasty were more likely to be treated with revision arthroplasty (10/11, 90.9%) than those treated by surgeons with fellowship training in trauma (5/15, 33.3%; P < 0.01). Conclusions There was no difference in outcomes between the two treatment strategies, but revision was associated with higher blood loss. The appropriate treatment method should be based on surgeon familiarity and patients' characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), especially those in contact with the diaphyseal stem, carry high morbidity. This study evaluated how stem design influences the risk of early Vancouver B PFF or other PFF requiring operative intervention after THA. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective study of 3,433 primary cementless THAs performed from 2014 to 2021 included 2,302 single-taper (micro M/L [n = 1,169]; M/L [n = 1,133]) and 1,131 double-taper (fit-and-fill [n = 420]; compaction-collared [n = 711]) stems. Mean follow-up was 2.2 years (range, 0.3 to 6.5 years). Primary outcomes were Vancouver B and surgically treated postoperative PFFs among differing femoral stems. Secondary outcomes included rates of intraoperative and postoperative Vancouver A and C PFFs. RESULTS Forty five postoperative PFFs (1.3%) occurred within 8.8 weeks (median), 25 of which were Vancouver B (0.7%) and 20 total PFFs that required operative intervention (0.6%). Compaction-collared stems had a decreased risk of Vancouver B (hazard ratio 0.18, 95% confidence interval: 0.03-0.97 P = .044) and any surgically treated PFF (hazard ratio 0.10, 95% confidence interval: 0.01-0.95; P = .037). Intraoperative PFFs were most common with fit-and-fill stems (3.6%, P < .001) and Vancouver A with compaction-collared stems (1.8%, P < .001). The cohort with PFF had a higher Charlson comorbidity index (P = .004), more women (P = .001), more Dorr A or C femora (P = .013), and more posterior or lateral surgical approaches compared to those without PFF (P ≤ .001). CONCLUSION After controlling for confounding variables, compaction-collared stems had a significantly lower risk of postoperative Vancouver B and PFF requiring operative treatment than single-taper and double-taper stems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With a rising number of periprosthetic femur fractures (PPFFs) each year, the primary objective of our study was to quantify risk factors that predict complications following operative treatment of PPFFs. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of 231 patients with a periprosthetic femur fracture was conducted at an Academic, Level 1 Trauma Center. The main outcome measurement of interest was complications, as defined by the ACS-NSQIP, within 30 days of surgery. RESULTS 56 patients had 96 complications. Bivariate analyses revealed ASA score, preoperative ambulatory status, length of stay, discharge disposition, time from admission to surgery, length of surgery, perioperative change in hemoglobin, Charlson comorbidity index, cerebral vascular accident/transient ischemic attack, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and receipt of a blood transfusion were associated with development of a complication (p < 0.1). Multivariate logistic regression showed length of stay (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19; p = 0.006), receipt of a blood transfusion (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.14-5.42; p = 0.02), and diabetes mellitus (OR 2.17, 95% CI 1.03-4.56; p = 0.04) remained independently predictive of complication. CONCLUSIONS Length of stay, receipt of a blood transfusion, and diabetes were associated with increased perioperative risk for developing a complication following operative treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures. Methods to decrease length of stay or transfusion rates may mitigate complication risk in these patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic, Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) femoral stems that transmit force in a favourable manner to the femur may minimise periprosthetic fractures. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computerised method that analyses the effect of forces applied to a structure with complex shape. Our aim was to apply FEA to compare primary THA cementless stem designs and their association with periprosthetic fracture risk. METHODS 3-dimensional (3D) models of a Dorr Type A femur and 5 commonly used primary THA cementless stem designs (short single wedge, standard-length single wedge, modular, double-wedge metaphyseal filling, and cylindrical fully coated) were developed using computed tomography (CT) imaging. Implant insertion, single-leg stance, and twisting with a planted foot were simulated. FEA was performed, and maximum femoral strain along the implant-bone interface recorded. RESULTS Femoral strain was highest with short single-wedge stem design (0.3850) and lowest with standard-length single-wedge design (0.0520). Location of maximum femoral strain varied by stem design, but not with implant insertion, single-leg stance, or twisting with a planted foot. Strain was as high during implant insertion as with single-leg stance or twisting with a planted foot. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest the risk of intraoperative and postoperative periprosthetic fracture with THA in a Dorr A femur is highest with short single-wedge stems and lowest with standard-length single-wedge stems. Consideration may be given to minimising the use of short single-wedge stems in THA. Implant-specific sites of highest strain should be carefully inspected for fracture.

Mortality After Postoperative Periprosthetic Fracture of the Femur After Hip Arthroplasty in the Last Decade: Meta-Analysis of 35 Cohort Studies Including 4841 Patients. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:398-405.e1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative periprosthetic fracture of the femur (POPFF) is associated with increased mortality. There is a lack of general estimates of mortality after POPFF and a need for higher-level evidence in this area. The aim of this study was to estimate mortality after POPFF using data reported in cohort studies from the last decade. METHODS Literature search was conducted using Medline and Embase. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality during time as an inpatient, within 30 days, within 90 days, and within one year of POPFF. Mortality (95% confidence interval [CI]) was estimated using metaregression. RESULTS A total of 4841 patients from 35 cohort studies were included. Study quality was generally low. The weighted mean follow-up was 2.3 years, and the most common POPFF was Vancouver B. The pooled mortality as an inpatient was 2.4% (95% CI 1.6% to 3.4%). The pooled mortality within 30 days was 3.3% (95% CI 2.0% to 5.0%). The pooled mortality within 90 days was 4.8% (95% CI 3.6% to 6.1%). The pooled mortality within one year was 13.4% (95% CI 11.9% to 14.8%). Mortality after POPFF was like that of neck of femur fracture up to 30 days, but better at one year. CONCLUSION Mortality is like that experienced by patients after neck of femur fracture up to 30 days, but better at one year, which may represent the lower underlying risk of death in the POPFF cohort. These results may form the basis for evaluation of services treating POPFF in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main objective of this study was to evaluate the morbidity and mortality following periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) after total hip arthroplasty. The secondary objectives were to explore risk factors for mortality and compare outcomes by method of treatment. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study was conducted (2016-2017) of all PFFs after total hip arthroplasty. We collected data on: ASA score, Charlson comorbidity index, type of fracture, method of treatment, timing of surgery, length of stay, systemic and local complications and mortality. Functional outcome was assessed in terms of preoperative and postoperative ambulatory status. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed in the sample to identify risk factors for mortality. RESULTS A total of 107 patients were evaluated and their mean age was 81 years old. The most common type of fracture according to the Vancouver classification was B1 (52.4% of patients), followed by B2 fractures (31.8%). The mortality rate during the first month was 9.3% and was associated with patients with ASA >3. Mortality rate in the first year was 22.3% and was associated with poorer walking ability before surgery and Charlson index ≥3. In the multivariable analysis, Charlson index ≥3 (odds ratio = 6.85) and age ≥80 years old (odds ratio=7.446) were associated with 1-year mortality. Neither complications nor mortality rate were associated with either time to surgery or method of treatment. More than half of the patients (57.9%) did not regain their prefracture walking status. Major systemic complications developed in 23.4% of the patients and major local complications in 12.1%. CONCLUSION Despite modern surgical techniques and multidisciplinary management, this study highlights the ambulatory status impairment and high rate of complications and mortality after PFF. Although the mortality rate during the first year was similar to that observed in other studies on PFFs, we found a higher mortality rate within the first month.

Abstract
Background The impact of prior fragility fractures and osteoporosis treatment before total hip arthroplasty (THA) on postoperative complications is unclear. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of prior fragility fractures and preoperative osteoporosis treatment on short-term complications and secondary fragility fractures after THA. Methods A propensity score–matched retrospective cohort study was conducted using a commercially available database to (1) characterize the impact of prior fragility fractures on rates of short-term complications after THA and (2) evaluate if osteoporosis treatment before arthroplasty reduces risk of postoperative complications. Rates of periprosthetic fracture, revision THA, and fragility fractures were compared via multivariable logistic regression. Results After 1:1 propensity score matching, 2188 patients were assigned to each cohort. Patients with a fragility fracture in the 3 years preceding THA were more likely to sustain a periprosthetic fracture (1 year: 1.7% vs 1.0%, odds ratio [OR] 1.89; 2 years: 2.1% vs 1.1%, OR 1.82), fragility fracture (1 year: 4.7% vs 1.1%, OR 3.59; 2 years: 6.7% vs 1.7%, OR 3.21), and revision THA (1 year: 2.7% vs 1.7%, OR 1.65; 2 years: 3.1% vs 1.9%, OR 1.58). Among patients with a prior fragility fracture, only 13.8% received osteoporosis pharmacotherapy before THA. Rates of all complications were statistically comparable postoperatively for patients with and without pre-THA osteoporosis treatment. Conclusions Fragility fractures within 3 years before THA are associated with significantly increased risk of periprosthetic fracture, all-cause revision, and secondary fragility fractures postoperatively. Preoperative osteoporosis treatment may not decrease risk of postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF) remains a common reason for failure after total hip arthroplasty (THA). For over 10 years, our institution has performed both anterior approach (AA) and posterolateral (PL) approaches for primary THA with multiple stem designs. The aim of this study is to determine the 90-day relative risk of PFF with regard to approach and stem design. METHODS A retrospective review of our institutional database was performed on all patients undergoing primary THA from 2007 to 2018 using AA or PL approaches. Five surgeons performing 6309 THAs (AA = 4510; PL = 1799) using single-wedge taper (n = 2417) or fit-and-fill (n = 3892) stems were included. PFF occurring within 90 days of the index procedure were analyzed. Differences in PFF rates, fracture location, stem type, and treatment method were assessed. Comparisons were made using a Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The 90-day revision rate for fracture was 0.3%. Clinically significant fractures requiring cerclage cabling, stem change, revision, or open reduction internal fixation occurred in 0.9% of patients (intraoperative = 37, 0.6%; postoperative = 17, 0.3%). Cox regression found PFF risk was significant for female patients (P = .008), patients older than age 65 (P < .01), single-wedge taper stems (P = .05), and for cases with collarless stems (P = .04). Among PFF cases that required surgical intervention, risk factors were female sex, age older than 65, and body mass index under 25 (P < .05). Collarless stems were 2.6 times more likely to result in PFF than collared stems (P = .04). Single-wedge taper stems were 2.3 times more likely to result in PFF than fit-and-fill stems (P = .05). Approach was not found to be an independent risk factor for PFF (P = .85). CONCLUSION Our single-center experience demonstrates the risk of periprosthetic fracture within 90 days of surgery is significantly lower with collared stems and fit-and-fill stem designs. Female sex, age over 65, and body mass index below 25 nearly double the PFF risk. Surgical approach did not influence fracture rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goals of this study were: (1) to test whether patients with an Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that is higher or lower than population-based standards have an increased risk of 30-day mortality, return to the operating room, readmission, non-home discharge, any complication, major complications, and minor complications after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA); and (2) to find out whether there is a significant non-linear relationship between eGFR and those same variables. METHODS A total of 168,919 primary TKAs were identified using The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2016. The following outcomes were assessed at 30 days: mortality, return to the operating room, readmission, non-home discharge, any complication, major complications, and minor complications. RESULTS Multivariate binomial logistical regression found that patients with hyperfiltration had higher rates of readmission (P < 0.03), non-home discharge (P < 0.01), any complication (P < 0.01), major complications (P = 0.03), and minor complications (P < 0.01) compared to reference patients with eGFR in the normal range. Patients with an eGFR less than 60 (stage 3 chronic kidney disease or higher) had increased odds of mortality (P < 0.05), readmission (P < 0.05), any complication (P < 0.01), major complications (P < 0.01), and minor complications (P < 0.01). Spline regression found statistically significant non-linear relationships between eGFR and mortality (P < 0.001), return to the operating room (P = 0.0029), and readmission as well as non-home discharge (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Low eGFR and hyperfiltration may be associated with elevated risk of 30-day adverse events. GFR can be used as a risk stratification tool to counseling patients with particular attention paid to those with a GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
Background Despite an increasing incidence and associated morbidity, the optimal timing for the surgical management of periprosthetic hip fractures remains unknown. This study sought to explore whether time to surgery was associated with medical or surgical complications. Methods A retrospective review of Medicare data from 2010 to 2014 was performed using PearlDiver. All patients with a periprosthetic hip fracture greater than 90 days from surgery and undergoing open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) or revision total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) were included. Time to surgery was measured from diagnosis and dichotomized at 48 hours. Results Of 342 patients undergoing ORIF, 269 (79%) had surgery within 48 hours. Of 255 patients undergoing RTHA, 142 (56%) had surgery within 48 hours. For ORIF, surgery more than 48 hours after diagnosis was associated with an increased rate of 30-day deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (15% vs 7%, P = .03), which remained after adjustment (odds ratio [OR]: 2.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-6.45). A similar association was seen for RTHA (12% vs 6%, P = .09 and OR: 2.61, 95% CI 1.01-7.24). For RTHA, surgery more than 48 hours after diagnosis was associated with an increased rate of 90-day periprosthetic joint infection (12% vs 4%, P = .007), which remained after adjustment (OR: 3.86, 95% CI: 1.36-12.72). A similar but not significant association was seen for ORIF (7% vs 3%, P = .18 and OR: 2.65, 95% CI: 0.73-8.91). Conclusions Among Medicare patients with a periprosthetic hip fracture, time to surgery greater than 48 hours was associated with increased medical and surgical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large body of research on native hip fractures has resulted in several evidence-based guidelines aimed at improving postsurgical care for these patients. In contrast, there is a paucity of data on pathologic hip fractures, and whether native hip fracture protocols are generalizable to this population is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare mortality rates and complication profiles between patients with pathologic and native hip fractures. METHODS Using the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, we identified patients who underwent surgical treatment for pathologic and native hip fractures from 2007 to 2017 and 2601 matched pairs were identified using propensity scoring. Baseline covariates were controlled for, and rates of 30-day postoperative complications and mortality were compared using McNemar's test. RESULTS Pathologic hip fracture patients experienced significantly higher rates of death (6.3% vs 4.3%, P < .001), serious adverse events (17.3% vs 13.5%, P < .001), minor complications (34.3% vs 29.1%, P < .001), extended postoperative lengths of stay (30.2% vs 25.9%, P < .001), readmissions (11.9% vs 8.4%, P < .001), thromboembolic complications (3.0% vs 1.6%, P < .001), and perioperative transfusions (31.5% vs 26.4%, P < .001) compared to native hip fracture patients. CONCLUSION Pathologic hip fractures result in significantly higher complication rates than native hip fractures after surgical treatment, suggesting that guidelines for native hip fractures may not be generalizable for pathologic hip fractures. Orthopedic surgeons should closely monitor these patients for deep vein thrombosis, utilize blood sparing techniques, and employ a multidisciplinary approach to help manage and prevent a more heterogenous profile of postsurgical complications.

Warren JA, George J, Anis HK, Krebs OK, Molloy RM, Higuera CA, Piuzzi NS. Effects of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate on 30-Day Mortality and Postoperative Complications After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Risk Stratification Instrument. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:786-793. [PMID: 31852610 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Revised: 10/01/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a relatively common comorbidity that has been shown to adversely affect outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA), as well as to increase the procedure's total costs. However, the effect of different stages of kidney disease and the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with perioperative THA complications are less understood. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the relationships between eGFR, both as a categorical and continuous variable and 30-day outcomes and complications. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to identify 101,925 primary THAs between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2016. The following outcomes were assessed: 30-day mortality, 30-day major complications, 30-day minor complications, specific complications, and discharge disposition. To evaluate the effect of eGFR status on outcomes and complication, multivariate regression models were created to adjust for differences in patient demographics and comorbidities. In addition, multivariate spline regressions were developed to assess the nonlinear relationships between eGFR as a continuous variable and the outcomes of interest. RESULTS Our study revealed that as eGFR decreases to <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, there is an increased risk for mortality and nonhome discharge (P < .05). There was an increased risk for any major complication and any minor complication as well as several specific medical complications such as transfusion and myocardial infarction (P < .05) for an eGFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Patients' eGFR had a nonlinear relationship with mortality (P = .0001), any major complication (P < .001), and any minor complication (P < .001), as well as a number of other specific medical complications. Once the eGFR, <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 the increase was exponential for mortality, major complications, and minor complications. For example, mortality increased of 900% for <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or on dialysis, 600% for 15 to 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 50% for 30 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Similarly, nonlinear relationships were discovered between eGFR and nonhome discharge (P < .001). CONCLUSION Patients with lower eGFR, and in particular those with <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, are more likely to sustain medical complications and have 6 to 9 times higher mortality than patients with normal eGFR. THA patients with CKD should be appropriately counseled and advised on the risk of postoperative complications by using eGFR as a screening tool.

Abstract
AIM To investigate demographics and outcomes of Vancouver type C periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) treated with open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Patient data were obtained from medical charts of cases reported to the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register and/or from the National Patient Register. Vancouver type C fractures undergoing surgery between 2001 and 2011, in patients who had received their primary THR between 1979 and 2011, were included. Any further reoperation performed between 2001 and 2013 and related to the PPFF constituted the primary outcome. RESULTS A total of 632 patients with 639 Vancouver type C fractures were identified. The majority of the patients were women (84%) and they had a fracture distal to a cemented stem (95%). The mean age at the time of fracture was 72 years. Treatment was performed with a locking plate (363 cases), a conventional plate (184 cases), an intramedullary nail (62 cases), or with double plating (30 cases). The overall reoperation rate was 17%, and mortality within one year of the operation was 16%. Locking plates had a significantly lower reoperation rate than conventional plates (p<0.001) and intramedullary nailing (p = 0.005). Interprosthetic femoral fractures did not have a statistically different outcome compared with non-IPFFs. CONCLUSIONS The lowest reoperation rate was observed using locking plates in Vancouver type C fractures when compared with conventional plates or intramedullary nailing. The presence of an ipsilateral knee prosthesis did not influence the outcome of the surgical treatment.

The Use of Older Versus Newer Data in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database Influences the Results of Total Hip Arthroplasty Outcomes Studies. J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev 2019; 3:JAAOSGlobal-D-19-00108.

Abstract
Introduction National databases, such as the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database, are frequently used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) studies. NSQIP variables and the population included in the database have evolved over time. These changes may influence the results of studies using different periods of data. Methods THA patients were aggregated from the 2005 to 2010 and 2011 to 2015 NSQIP data sets to define two era groups. Demographic data and 30-day perioperative outcomes were compared between the groups. As an example analysis, multivariate Poisson regression was used to determine the correlation between age and perioperative outcomes for each group. Results Of 102,411 THA patients identified, 8098 cases were from 2005 to 2010 and 94,313 were from 2011 to 2015. A number of preoperative characteristics and perioperative outcomes were significantly different between the era groups. Multivariate analysis of the 2005 to 2010 group showed that increasing age was significantly associated with urinary tract infection and length of stay (LOS), and multivariate analysis of the 2011 to 2015 group showed that age was significantly associated with urinary tract infection, LOS, 30-day mortality, unplanned reintubation, extended LOS, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis/thrombophlebitis, blood transfusion, and return to the operating room. Conclusion Significantly more THA patients were enrolled in the NSQIP in the years between 2005 and 2015. Populations in 2005 to 2010 versus 2011 to 2015 were associated with differences in preoperative characteristics and perioperative outcomes. In an example analysis, it was shown that these differences together lead to different study results and conclusions. This needs to be considered when interpreting and conducting studies using earlier NSQIP data.

Early Morbidity but Not Mortality Increases With Surgery Delayed Greater Than 24 Hours in Patients With a Periprosthetic Fracture of the Hip. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:2789-2792.e1. [PMID: 31279604 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.06.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Revised: 05/26/2019] [Accepted: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have identified a possible morbidity and mortality benefit with expedited time to surgery after a native hip fracture. This association after hip periprosthetic fractures (PPF) has been less clearly delineated. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of time to surgery on rates of 30-day complications. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program registry was used to identify all patients who underwent surgical intervention for hip PPF between 2005 and 2016. Patients were stratified into 2 cohorts based on time from hospital admission to surgery, either ≤24 hours (expedited) or >24 hours (non-expedited). Thirty-day outcome variables were assessed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS We identified 857 patients undergoing surgical intervention for hip PPF, of whom 402 (46.9%) underwent expedited surgery and 455 (53.1%) underwent non-expedited surgery. Patients with non-expedited surgery had an average time to surgery of 2.4 days (range, 1-14 days). Multivariate analysis adjusting for differences in baseline patient characteristics revealed that patients with a non-expedited procedure had higher rates of overall complications (odds ratio [OR] = 1.72; P = .014), respiratory complications (OR = 4.15; P = .0029), urinary tract infections (OR = 2.77; P = .020), nonhome discharge (OR = 2.22; P < .001), and blood transfusions (OR = 1.86; P < .001). There was no statistical difference in mortality (P = .093). Patients with non-expedited surgery also had longer total and postoperative (+2.7 days; P < .001) length of stay. CONCLUSION This study did not identify any statistical difference in mortality but found an association with increased postoperative complications and non-expedited surgery for PPF. Additional prospective studies may be warranted to identify the causative factors behind this association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) and revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been reported to be a relatively common and potentially serious complication. To mitigate this risk, strategies such as rapid recovery programs and thromboprophylaxis guidelines have been utilized. This study sought to identify the annual incidence and recent trends of VTE (defined as the presence of deep vein thrombosis [DVT] and/or pulmonary embolism [PE] in the same patient), DVT, PE, and mortality in the 30-day period after rTKA and rTHA. METHODS We identified 30,406 rTKA and rTHA patients from 2008 to 2016 using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Thirty-day incidences for VTE, DVT, PE, and mortality for each year and the overall study period were calculated. Bivariate and multivariate regressions were performed using patient demographics and comorbidities to assess trends in the outcomes of interest. RESULTS The overall incidences of 30-day VTE, DVT, PE, and mortality for rTKA were 1.2%, 0.9%, 0.4%, and 0.5%. Bivariate analysis revealed no significant change over the study period for VTE (P = .137), DVT (P = .406), PE (P = .121; 99% confidence interval 0.112-0.129), and mortality (P = .463). The incidences over the study period of VTE, DVT, PE, and mortality in rTHA were 1.0%, 0.7%, 0.4%, and 0.7%. Bivariate analysis revealed no changes in VTE (P = .393), DVT (P = .376), and PE (P = .602). However, bivariate analysis revealed significant decrease in mortality (P = .010) over the study period. CONCLUSION Within 30 days of surgery, approximately 1 in 83 rTKA patients and 1 in 100 rTHA patients experienced a VTE. Furthermore, the rates of VTE remained largely unchanged from 2008 to 2016. Further research regarding the optimal individualized prophylaxis algorithm in rTKA and rTHA is warranted to prevent this complication. This study represents the first investigation of thromboembolic events in rTHA and rTKA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly individuals may be treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA). However, it is unclear what the short-term medical outcomes are related to these surgical options. The purpose of this study was to compare early postoperative outcomes in THA patients to those of HHA patients. METHODS In this study, we compared 30-day mortality, likelihood of still being in the hospital at 30 days, postoperative major and minor complications, discharge disposition, reoperation and readmission, length of stay, days from admission to surgery, and operative time between THA and HHA. Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project database, hip fracture patients ≥65 years old from 2008 to 2016 were identified. After propensity score matching, there were 2795 THAs and 2795 HHAs. To assess the effect of THA on the above-mentioned outcomes, bivariate regression models were created. RESULTS The THA patients ≥65 years old were at reduced risk for mortality (P = .029) and still being in the hospital at 30 days (P = .017). The THA patients were at an increased risk for minor complications (P = .011) and longer operative times (P < .001). However, THA patients were more likely to have a home discharge (P < .001). DISCUSSION Patients ≥65 years who underwent THA for hip fractures had reduced short-term mortality risk, were more likely to be discharged home, and had less likelihood of being in the hospital at 30 days. This is the first study to explore short-term outcomes in patients ≥65 and has direct implications for alternate payment and merit-based payment models. CONCLUSION As hip fracture treatment has come under scrutiny with respect to alternate payment models and merit-based incentive payments, this analysis of short-term outcomes warrants consideration when evaluating treatment pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are associated with poor mortality and morbidity outcomes. Controversy exists over what the preferred treatment is between sliding hips screws (SHSs) and cephalomedullary nails (CMNs) for stable intertrochanteric (IT) and basicervical (BC) hip fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare early postoperative outcomes and complications in patients treated with SHS to those treated with CMN in IT and BC hip fractures. METHODS We used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to identify IT and BC hip fractures, excluding subtrochanteric hip fractures treated with a SHS and CMN for 2008 to 2016. After propensity score matching, there were 8505 patients in the SHS cohort and 8505 in the CMN cohort. Propensity score-adjusted multivariate regression models assed SHS as an independent risk factor for the following 30-day outcomes: mortality, postoperative major and minor complications, discharge disposition, readmission and reoperation, length of hospital stay (LOS), and operative time. RESULTS No difference in mortality was encountered between SHS and CMN (p = 0.440). Compared to CMN, the SHS cohort had an 11.6% decreased likelihood of a minor complication (p < 0.001); however, no difference was found between CMN and SHS for major complications (p = 0.117). SHS patients were less likely to have transfusion (p < 0.001), DVT (p = 0.007), and MI (0.024). SHS patients were 12.5% more likely to go home (p = 0.002). No association was discovered between being treated with a SHS and reoperation (p = 0.449) and readmission (p = 0.588). SHS patients had almost a quarter of a day longer LOS (p = 0.041). Patients treated with SHS had a statistically significant (p < 0.001), but clinically irrelevant 2-min longer procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a cementless, modular, fluted, long-stem hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of Vancouver type B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fracture around hip hemiarthroplasty. METHODS This was a retrospective case-control study comparing 46 patients revised to hemiarthroplasty (HA group) and 31 revised to total hip arthroplasty (THA group). Functional outcome was evaluated by the Merle d'Aubigné score, and the Katz scale based on activities of daily living. Comorbidity was assessed by the Charlson index, and cognitive function by a mini-mental test score. Radiological evaluation was also performed. RESULTS Mean postoperative follow-up was 3.3 (range, 2-4) years in the HA group and 3.9 (range, 2-5) in the THA group. The need for transfusion and hospital stay were significantly higher in the THA group. Postoperatively, both groups had a significant decrease in mean hip function (P = .001) although the mean Merle (P = .121) and Katz (P = .214) scores were similar at final follow-up. Likewise, there were no significant differences between groups in pain or loss of life independence. All fractures were united but one in the HA group. There were no dislocations in the HA group, and 3 in the THA group. CONCLUSION The management of Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fracture around hemiarthroplasties with a long-stem revision cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty, supplemented with wire cerclages and cancellous allograft, was an effective option in terms of fracture healing and stability of the implant with a low rate of complications. Nevertheless, a significant functional impairment was also observed in either group.

Unlike Native Hip Fractures, Delay to Periprosthetic Hip Fracture Stabilization Does Not Significantly Affect Most Short-Term Perioperative Outcomes. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:564-569. [PMID: 30514642 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.11.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2018] [Revised: 10/25/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of periprosthetic hip fractures is increasing due to higher numbers of total hip arthroplasties being performed. Unlike native hip fractures, the effect of time to surgery of periprosthetic hip fractures is not well established. This study evaluates the effect of time to surgery on perioperative complications for patients with periprosthetic hip fractures. METHODS Patients who underwent surgery for periprosthetic hip fracture were identified in the 2005-2016 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database and stratified into 2 groups: <2 and ≥2 days from hospital admission to surgery. Multivariate regressions were used to compare risk for perioperative complications between the 2 groups. Independent risk factors for postoperative serious adverse events were characterized. RESULTS In total, 409 (<2 days from admission to surgery) and 272 (≥2 days from admission to surgery) patients were identified. Multivariate analysis revealed only higher risk of extended postoperative stay for patients who had delays of ≥2 days to surgery compared to those who had <2 days from admission to surgery. Independent risk factors for serious adverse events included increasing age, dependent preoperative functional status, and preoperative congestive heart failure, but not time to surgery. CONCLUSION Unlike for native hip fractures, time to surgery for periprosthetic hip fractures does not appear to affect most 30-day perioperative complications. However, it is worth noting that this study was unable to control for all potential confounders and therefore the results may not be generalizable to all types of periprosthetic hip fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although falling is becoming a major problem in the elderly, little is known about the long-term incidence of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using uncemented stems with a minimum follow-up of 26 years postoperatively. METHODS In a consecutive series, the cumulative incidence of PFF after uncemented THA using a straight, collarless, tapered titanium stem was retrospectively reviewed in 354 hips (326 patients). After a mean follow-up of 28 (26-32) years postoperatively, 179 hips had died and 5 hips had been lost to follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to estimate cumulative percentage probability of PFF. RESULTS At final follow-up, a total of 27 fractures in 27 patients had occurred. In 15 hips, the stem had to be revised, and in 10 the fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Two patients declined further surgery. The cumulative percentage probability of PFF was 1.6% (95% confidence interval, 0.7 to 3.8) at 10 years and 13.2% (95% confidence interval, 8.5 to 20.2) at 29 years after primary THA. There was no association between the occurrence of fracture and gender, age at primary THA, cup revision, or canal fill index. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that PFF is the major mode of failure in the long term after uncemented THA using a tapered titanium stem. More research is needed to evaluate the reasons and risk factors for PFF after THA, thus providing better prophylaxis for those at risk and to compare the long-term incidence using different fixation methods and implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.
