J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00888-X. [PMID: 39233096 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.08.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Revised: 08/25/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonate (BP) use is not uncommon among total hip arthroplasty (THA) candidates. While the impact of BP therapy post-THA has been investigated, there is a paucity of literature discussing the impact of BP therapy pre-THA. Using a national dataset, we aimed to study the association between preoperative BP use and surgical outcomes in primary THA recipients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study utilized a commercial claims and Medicare Supplemental Databases to identify adults aged ≥ 18 who had an index non-fracture-related primary THA from 2016 to 2020. The use of BP was defined as ≥ 6 months of BP therapy in the year prior to THA. Outcomes were 90-day all-cause readmission, 90-day readmission related to periprosthetic fracture (PPF), 90-day and 1-year all-cause revision, 1-year PPF-related revision, and 1-year diagnosis of PPF. In a 1:5 propensity-score matched analysis, each THA patient who had preoperative BP use was matched to five THA patients who did not have preoperative BP use. Logistic regression models were fitted; we report odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS Of 91,907 THA patients, 1,018 (1.1%) used BP preoperatively. In the propensity-score-matched cohort (1,018 preoperative BP users, 5,090 controls), preoperative BP use was significantly associated with increased odds of 90-day all-cause revision surgery (OR 1.67; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.53; P = 0.02), 1-year PPF-related revision (OR 2.23; 95% CI 1.21 to 4.10; P = 0.01), and 1-year PPF diagnosis (OR 1.88; 95% CI 1.10 to 3.20; P = 0.02). There was no significant association between preoperative BP use and the other outcomes in the matched cohort. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that preoperative BP use is associated with an increased risk of revision surgery and PPF in both the short and long term. This information can help in preoperative planning and patient counseling, potentially leading to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complication rates.

Abstract
This report provides an updated analysis for patients with osteoporosis following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The comorbidities of alcohol abuse, chronic kidney disease, cerebrovascular disease, obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis continue to be significant risk factors for periprosthetic femur fracture (PPFFx) and aseptic loosening in the population with osteoporosis. Patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometric (DEXA) scans were at risk for PPFFx regardless of femoral fixation method, and patients with DEXA scans with cementless fixation were at risk of aseptic loosening after THA. The patient population with severe osteoporosis may have higher risks for aseptic loosening and PPFFx than previously recognized.

Postoperative Bisphosphonates Use is Associated with Reduced Adverse Outcomes After Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty of Hip and Knee: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study. Calcif Tissue Int 2024; 114:451-460. [PMID: 38492035 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-024-01192-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Bisphosphonates have been associated with a decreased risk of revision surgery after total joint arthroplasty of the hip or knee (TJA) because of their effects on decreased periprosthetic bone loss and prosthetic migration. However, the results in the early literature are inconsistent, and the influence of bisphosphonates on associated complications and subsequent TJA remains unknown. This study investigated the association between the use of bisphosphonates and the risk of adverse outcomes after primary TJA. This matched cohort study utilized the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan to identify patients who underwent primary TJA over a 15-year period (January 2000-December 2015 inclusive). Study participants were further categorized into two groups, bisphosphonate users and nonusers, using propensity score matching. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of revision surgery, adverse outcomes of primary surgery and subsequent TJA were calculated using Cox regression analysis. This study analyzed data from 6485 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 20,920 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The risk of revision hip and knee arthroplasty was significantly lower in the bisphosphonate users than in the nonusers (aHR, 0.54 and 0.53, respectively). Furthermore, the risk of a subsequent total joint arthroplasty, adverse events and all-cause mortality were also significantly reduced in the bisphosphonate users. This study, involving a large cohort of patients who underwent primary arthroplasties, revealed that bisphosphonate treatment may potentially reduce the risk of revision surgery and associated adverse outcomes. Furthermore, the use of bisphosphonates after TJA is also associated with a reduced need for subsequent arthroplasty.Research Registration Unique Identifying Number (UIN): ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier-NCT05623540 ( https://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT05623540 ).

[PMID: 37586595 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.08.029] [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] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is common among patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bisphosphonate treatment on osteoporotic patients undergoing primary THA. METHODS Using a national database, 30,137 patients who had osteoporosis before primary elective THA were identified during 2010 to 2020. Patients undergoing nonelective THA and those using corticosteroids or other medications for osteoporosis were excluded. Bisphosphonate users and bisphosphonate naïve patients were matched 1:1 based on age, sex, Elixhauser comorbidity index, and a history of obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, tobacco use, and alcohol abuse. Kaplan-Meier and multivariate analyses were used to compare 2-year outcomes between groups. RESULTS Among matched cohorts of 9,844 patients undergoing primary THA, bisphosphonate use was associated with a significantly higher 2-year rate of periprosthetic fracture (odds ratio 1.29, 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.61, P = .022). There was a trend toward increased risk of any revision with bisphosphonate use (odds ratio 1.19, confidence interval 1.00 to 1.41, P = .056). Rates of infection, aseptic loosening, dislocation, and mortality were not statistically different between bisphosphonate users and bisphosphonate-naïve patients. CONCLUSION In osteoporotic patients, bisphosphonate use before primary THA is an independent risk factor for periprosthetic fracture. Additional longer-term data are needed to determine the underlying mechanism for this association and identify preventative measures.

Artificial Neural Networks Can Predict Early Failure of Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Osteoporosis. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:467-475. [PMID: 35202042 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-21-00775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) done in the aging population is associated with osteoporosis-related complications. The altered bone density in osteoporotic patients is a risk factor for revision surgery. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to predict revision surgery in patients with osteoporosis after primary noncemented THA. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of 350 patients with osteoporosis (T-score less than or equal to -2.5) who underwent primary noncemented THA at a tertiary referral center. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up (range: 2.1 to 5.6). Four ML algorithms were developed to predict the probability of revision surgery, and these were assessed by discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS The overall incidence of revision surgery was 5.2% at a mean follow-up of 3.7 years after primary noncemented THA in osteoporotic patients. Revision THA was done because of periprosthetic fracture in nine patients (50%), aseptic loosening/subsidence in five patients (28%), periprosthetic joint infection in two patients (11%) and dislocation in two patients (11%). The strongest predictors for revision surgery in patients after primary noncemented THA were female sex, BMI (>35 kg/m2), age (>70 years), American Society of Anesthesiology score (≥3), and T-score. All four ML models demonstrated good model performance across discrimination (AUC range: 0.78 to 0.81), calibration, and decision curve analysis. CONCLUSION The ML models presented in this study demonstrated high accuracy for the prediction of revision surgery in osteoporotic patients after primary noncemented THA. The presented ML models have the potential to be used by orthopaedic surgeons for preoperative patient counseling and optimization to improve the outcomes of primary noncemented THA in osteoporotic patients.

[PMID: 35455417 PMCID: PMC9030653 DOI: 10.3390/ph15040420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The administration of zoledronic acid (ZA) to patients who received cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to reduce bone turnover markers (BTMs) and increase bone mineral density (BMD). The effects of two-dose ZA versus placebo on cementless THA patients were analyzed in this five-year extension study. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OC), procollagen 1 intact N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), serum calcium, renal function, radiological findings, and functional outcomes were compared in 49 patients, and the periprosthetic BMD of seven Gruen zones were compared in 19 patients. All the patients had normal renal function and calcium levels at their final follow-up. The mean ALP level in the ZA group was significantly lower at the fifth year, mean OC levels were significantly lower at the second and fifth year, and mean P1NP levels were significantly lower from 6 weeks to 5 years as compared with the control group. Fifth-year BMD levels were not found to be different between the ZA and control groups. The BMD Change Ratios in the ZA group were significantly increased in Gruen zone 6 at 1, 2, and 5 years. Our study results suggest that short-term ZA treatment with a subsequent 4-year drug holiday may inhibit serum BTMs and provide periprosthetic bone preservation at five years without adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify patients at risk of mid-late term revision of knee replacement (KR) to inform targeted follow-up. DESIGN Analysis of linked national datasets from primary and secondary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD GOLD), National Joint Registry (NJR), English Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)). PARTICIPANTS Primary elective KRs aged ≥18 years. EVENT OF INTEREST Revision surgery ≥5 years (mid-late term) postprimary KR. STATISTICAL METHODS Cox regression modelling to ascertain risk factors of mid-late term revision. HRs and 95% CIs assessed association of sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, medication, surgical variables and PROMs with mid-late term revision. RESULTS NJR-HES-PROMs data were available from 2008 to 2011 on 188 509 KR. CPRD GOLD-HES data covered 1995-2011 on 17 378 KR. Patients had minimum 5 years postprimary surgery to end 2016. Age and gender distribution were similar across datasets; mean age 70 years, 57% female. In NJR, there were 8607 (4.6%) revisions, median time-to-revision postprimary surgery 1.8 years (range 0-8.8), with 1055 (0.6%) mid-late term revisions; in CPRD GOLD, 877 (5.1%) revisions, median time-to-revision 4.2 years (range 0.02-18.3), with 352 (2.0%) mid-late term revisions.Reduced risk of revision after 5 years was associated with older age (HR: 0.95; 95% CI 0.95 to 0.96), obesity (0.70; 0.56 to 0.88), living in deprived areas (0.71; 0.58 to 0.87), non-white ethnicity (0.58; 0.43 to 0.78), better preoperative pain and functional limitation (0.42; 0.33 to 0.53), better 6-month postoperative pain and function (0.33; 0.26 to 0.41) or moderate anxiety/depression (0.73; 0.63 to 0.83) at primary surgery.Increased risk was associated with male gender (1.32; 1.04 to 1.67); when anticonvulsants (gabapentin and pregabalin) (1.58; 1.01 to 2.47) or opioids (1.36; 1.08 to 1.71) were required prior to primary surgery.No implant factors were identified. CONCLUSION The risk of mid-late term KR revision is very low. Increased risk of revision is associated with patient case-mix factors, and there is evidence of sociodemographic inequality.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:871380.

Abstract
Implant-generated particle wears are considered as the major cause for the induction of implant loosening, which is more susceptible to patients with osteoporosis. Monotherapy with parathyroid hormone (PTH) or zoledronate acid (ZOL) has been proven efficient for preventing early-stage periprosthetic osteolysis, while the combination therapy with PTH and ZOL has exerted beneficial effects on the treatment of posterior lumbar vertebral fusion and disuse osteopenia. However, PTH and ZOL still have not been licensed for the treatment of implant loosening to date clinically. In this study, we have explored the effect of single or combined administration with PTH and ZOL on implant loosening in a rat model of osteoporosis. After 12 weeks of ovariectomized surgery, a femoral particle-induced periprosthetic osteolysis model was established. Vehicle, PTH (5 days per week), ZOL (100 mg/kg per week), or combination therapy was utilized for another 6 weeks before sacrifice, followed by micro-CT, histology, mechanical testing, and bone turnover examination. PTH monotherapy or combined PTH with ZOL exerted a protective effect on maintaining implant stability by elevating periprosthetic bone mass and inhibiting pseudomembrane formation. Moreover, an additive effect was observed when combining PTH with ZOL, resulting in better fixation strength, higher periprosthetic bone mass, and less pseudomembrane than PTH monotherapy. Taken together, our results suggested that a combination therapy of PTH and ZOL might be a promising approach for the intervention of early-stage implant loosening in patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation and progressive deterioration of the joint. The etiology of OA includes genetic, phlogistic, dismetabolic and mechanical factors. Historically, cartilage was considered the target of the disease and therapy was aimed at protecting and lubricating the articular cartilage. The osteochondral unit is composed of articular cartilage, calcified cartilage, and subchondral and trabecular bone, which work synergistically to support the functional loading of the joint. Numerous studies today show that OA involves the osteochondral unit, with the participation therefore of the bone in the starting and progression of the disease, which is associated with chondropathy. Cytokines involved in the process leading to cartilage damage are also mediators of subchondral bone edema. Therefore, OA therapy must be based on the use of painkillers and bisphosphonates for both the control of osteometabolic damage and its analgesic activity. Monitoring of the disease of the osteochondral unit must be extensive, since bone marrow edema can be considered as a marker of the evolution of OA. In the present review we discuss some of the pathogenetic mechanisms associated with osteoarthritis, with particular focus on the osteochondral unit and the use of clodronate.

Molecular Targeted Therapy for the Bone Loss Secondary to Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis Using Medications for Osteoporosis: A Literature Review. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22094453. [PMID: 33923233 PMCID: PMC8123121 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22094453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Pyogenic spondylodiscitis can cause severe osteolytic and destructive lesions in the spine. Elderly or immunocompromised individuals are particularly susceptible to infectious diseases; specifically, infections in the spine can impair the ability of the spine to support the trunk, causing patients to be bedridden, which can also severely affect the physical condition of patients. Although treatments for osteoporosis have been well studied, treatments for bone loss secondary to infection remain to be elucidated because they have pathological manifestations that are similar to but distinct from those of osteoporosis. Recently, we encountered a patient with severely osteolytic pyogenic spondylodiscitis who was treated with romosozumab and exhibited enhanced bone formation. Romosozumab stimulated canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling, causing robust bone formation and the inhibition of bone resorption, which exceeded the bone loss secondary to infection. Bone loss due to infections involves the suppression of osteoblastogenesis by osteoblast apoptosis, which is induced by the nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways, and osteoclastogenesis with the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand-receptor combination and subsequent activation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells cytoplasmic 1 and c-Fos. In this study, we review and discuss the molecular mechanisms of bone loss secondary to infection and analyze the efficacy of the medications for osteoporosis, focusing on romosozumab, teriparatide, denosumab, and bisphosphonates, in treating this pathological condition.

Abstract
Administration of bisphosphonates following total joint arthroplasty might be beneficial to reduce aseptic loosening. However, their effects on peri-implant bone formation and bone-implant interface strength have not been investigated yet. We used a physiologically loaded mouse implant model to investigate the short-term effects of postoperative systemic alendronate on osseointegration. A titanium implant with a rough surface was inserted in the proximal tibiae of 17-week-old female C57BL/6 mice (n = 44). Postimplantation mice were given alendronate (73 μg/kg/days, n = 22) or vehicle (n = 22) 5 days/week. At 7- and 14-day postimplantation, histology and histomorphometry were conducted. At 28 days, microcomputed tomography and biomechanical testing were performed (n = 10/group). Postoperative alendronate treatment enhanced osseointegration, increasing maximum pullout load by 45% (p < .001) from 19.1 ± 4.5 N in the control mice to 27.6 ± 4.9 N in the treated mice, at day 28 postimplantation. Alendronate treatment increased the bone volume fraction by 139% (p < .001) in the region distal to the implant and 60% (p < .05) in the peri-implant region. At 14-day postimplantation, alendronate treatment decreased the number of osteoclasts per bone perimeter (p < .05) and increased bone volume fraction (p < .01) when compared with the control group. Postimplantation, short-term alendronate treatment enhanced osseointegration as demonstrated by increased bone mass, trabecular bone thickness, and maximum pullout load. Alendronate decreased peri-implant osteoclasts while preserving peri-implant osteoblasts and endothelial cells, in turn, increasing bone volume fraction. This data supports the postoperative clinical use of bisphosphonates, especially in patients with high risks of aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Background:
Periprosthetic bone loss after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), detected as an early migration of the prosthesis may predict later loosening of the implant.
Objective:
We hypothesized that intra-operative bisphosphonate rinsing would reduce bone resorption after THA. It might therefore be possible to achieve better early fixation of the implant.
Methods:
Nineteen patients suffering from arthrosis were recruited in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical pilot trial. Patients were operated with an uncemented Bimetric stem using tantalum markers. The femoral proximal intramedullary canal was rinsed with 1mM clodronate in nine patients and with saline in 10 patients. These patients were followed for two years using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the Harris Hip Score (HHS).
Results:
We did not found any significant differences between the study groups with regards to the primary output measures (maximum total point motion, MTPM). However, there was evidence that clodronate could affect periprosthetic bone quality; a beneficial effect in BMD in Gruen zone 3 during the two-year follow-up was observed, BMD decreased less in the clodronate group (p = 0.02). The maximal x-translation of the stem at 3-24 months was significantly two-fold, being higher in the placebo group (p = 0.02). The baseline BMD and the maximal total point motion (MTPM) at 3-24 months showed a positive correlation in the clodronate group and a negative correlation in the placebo group.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, further studies with larger patient groups and longer follow-up periods are needed to estimate the clinical importance of these findings and further to prove if an intraoperative clodronate rinsing prior to application of femoral stem during THA can prevent periprosthetic bone loss.

Abstract
A significant proportion of orthopedic devices are implanted in osteoporotic patients, but it is currently unclear how estrogen deficiency and/or exposure to antiresorptive bisphosphonates (BPs) influence orthopedic device-related infection (ODRI), or response to therapy. The aim of this study is to characterize the bone changes resulting from Staphylococcus epidermidis infection in a rodent ODRI model and to determine if ovariectomy (OVX) or BP treatment influences the infection or the success of antibiotic therapy. A sterile or S. epidermidis-contaminated screw was implanted into the proximal tibia of skeletally mature female Wistar rats (n = 6-9 per group). Bone changes were monitored over 28 days using in vivo micro-computed tomography scanning. OVX was performed 12 weeks before screw implantation. The BP zoledronic acid (ZOL) was administered 4 days before screw insertion. A combination antibiotic regimen (rifampin plus cefazolin) was administered from Days 7-21. In skeletally healthy animals, S. epidermidis induced marked changes in bone, with peak osteolysis occurring at Day 9 and woven bone deposition and periosteal mineralization from Day 14 onwards. Antibiotic therapy cleared the infection in the majority of animals (2/9 infected) but did not affect bone responses. OVX did not affect the pattern of infection-induced changes in bone, nor bacterial load, but reduced antibiotic efficacy (5/9 infected). ZOL treatment did not protect from osteolysis in OVX animals, or further affect antibiotic efficacy (5/9 infected) but did significantly increase the bacterial load. This study suggests that both BPs and OVX can influence host responses to bone infections involving S. epidermidis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a painful, disabling condition which is increasing in prevalence as a result of an ageing population. With no recognized disease-limiting therapeutics, arthroplasty of the hip and knee is the most common and effective treatment for lower limb osteoarthritis, however lower limb arthroplasty has a finite life-span and a proportion of patients will require revision arthroplasty. With increasing life expectancy and an increasing proportion of younger (<65 years) patients undergoing arthroplasty, the demand for revision arthroplasty after implant failure is also set to increase. Statins are cholesterol-modulating drugs widely used for cardiovascular risk reduction which have been noted to have pleiotropic effects including potentially influencing arthroplasty survival. In vitro studies have demonstrated pleiotropic effects in human bone cells, including enhancement of osteoblastogenesis following simvastatin exposure, and in vivo studies have demonstrated that intraperitoneal simvastatin can increase peri-implant bone growth in rats following titanium tibial implant insertion. There is evidence that statins may also influence osseointegration, enhancing bone growth at the bone-implant interface, subsequently improving the functional survival of implants. Data from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry and the Clinical Practice Research Datalink in the UK suggest a reduction in the risk of lower limb revision arthroplasty in statin ever-users versus never-users, and a time-dependent effect of statins in reducing the risk of revision. In this article we review the clinical and experimental evidence linking statins and risk of revision arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to critically evaluate the current literature regarding implant fixation in osteoporotic bone. RECENT FINDINGS Clinical studies have not only demonstrated the growing prevalence of osteoporosis in patients undergoing total joint replacement (TJR) but may also indicate a significant gap in screening and treatment of this comorbidity. Osteoporosis negatively impacts bone in multiple ways beyond the mere loss of bone mass, including compromising skeletal regenerative capacity, architectural deterioration, and bone matrix quality, all of which could diminish implant fixation. Recent findings both in preclinical animal models and in clinical studies indicate encouraging results for the use of osteoporosis drugs to promote implant fixation. Implant fixation in osteoporotic bone presents an increasing clinical challenge that may be benefitted by increased screening and usage of osteoporosis drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In Sweden, roughly 3000 patients are reoperated each year due to pain and loss of function related to a loosened hip or knee prosthesis. These reoperations are strenuous for the patient, technically demanding and costly for the healthcare system. Any such reoperation that can be prevented would be of great benefit. Bisphosphonates are drugs that inhibit osteoclast function. Several clinical trials suggest that bisphosphonates lead to improved implant fixation and one small study even indicates better functional outcome. Furthermore, in epidemiological studies, bisphosphonates have been shown to decrease the rate of revision for aseptic loosening by half. Thus, there are several indirect indications that bisphosphonates could improve patient-reported outcome, but no firm evidence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a pragmatic randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, academic clinical trial of a single postoperative dose of zoledronic acid, in patients younger than 80 years undergoing primary total hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis. Participants will be recruited from two orthopaedic departments. All surgeries will be performed, and study drugs given at Motala Hospital, Sweden. The primary endpoint is to investigate between-group differences in the Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score at 3-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes will be investigated at 1 year, 3 years and 6 years, and stratified for hip and knee implants. These secondary endpoints are supportive, exploratory or explanatory. A total of 1000 patients will be included in the study. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Linköping (DNR 2015/286-31). The study will be reported in accordance with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement for pharmacological trials. The results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals and disseminated to patient organisations and the media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER EudraCT: No 2015-001200-55; Pre-results.

Abstract
The anti-resorptive properties of bisphosphonates have been explored to manage several conditions that traditionally have required a surgical solution. In osteonecrosis, their use is predicated on the principle that bone collapse occurs during the revascularisation phase of the disease. If the associated resorptive activity were modulated, the resultant preserved joint architecture may improve clinical outcome and reduce the need for joint replacement. Pre-clinical and small-scale clinical studies have given non-conclusive support for this principle. Adequately powered clinical trials with relevant long-term endpoints are still required to firmly clarify the clinical efficacy of this treatment. Several clinical studies have shown that bisphosphonates can reduce periprosthetic bone loss and, in some situations, enhance implant fixation in the early period after joint replacement. This may be advantageous in settings where osseointegration is problematic. However, the ultimate goals of their use in joint replacement has been to reduce the incidence of late periprosthetic inflammatory osteolysis, the main cause of prosthesis failure. Population-based observational studies have associated bisphosphonate use with a lower incidence of revision surgery, supported by pre-clinical data. However, clinical trials have, to date, failed to demonstrate any efficacy for the human disease. The timing of bisphosphonate administration for secondary prevention after acute osteoporotic fracture has been subject to extensive investigation, with pre-clinical studies showing increased callus formation but decreased remodelling and no effect on the restoration of mechanical integrity of bone. Meta-analysis of clinical trial data indicates that early administration of bisphosphonate after acute fracture does not adversely affect fracture union, pain or functional outcomes. Finally, bisphosphonates have also been explored as a treatment for complex regional pain syndrome type-I. A recent meta-analysis has shown a beneficial effect on visual analogue scale pain scores, but an increase in mild adverse events.

Abstract
There is a high prevalence of osteoporosis in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. There are several clinically relevant questions related to the management of such cases: the effect of ageing; the initial osseointegration of implants, especially when cementless THA is used; the effect of medical osteoporosis treatment on bone-implant interface; the incidence of intraoperative and late periprosthetic fractures, and the long-term survival of both cemented and cementless total hip arthroplasty performed for proximal femoral fractures and hip osteoarthritis. A critical review of the literature is presented in an attempt to draw practical conclusions.

Abstract
Background To develop a novel custom-made navigational template for accurate prosthesis implantation in total hip resurfacing arthroplasty (THRA) by computer-aided technology. Methods The template was produced based on data preoperatively acquired from computed tomography (CT) scan. The position of the drill guide was obtained according to the anatomical axis of the femoral neck which was defined by the point of the femoral head center and another point of the femoral neck center. The final direction of the drill guide was confirmed by a valgus angle. The surface of the template was constructed based on the inverse of the femoral neck surface. Then the template was made of acrylate resin by using rapid prototyping (RP) technique. Finally, all the templates were verified in 17 cadavers arranged for THRA and postoperative medical images were employed to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the template. Results The templates had achieved a high fitting with the femoral neck surface, and there were no guide failures. Postoperative evaluation revealed that the Kirschner-wires pass through the center of the femoral head and femoral neck, presenting a relative expected and acceptable valgus angle to the central axis of the femoral neck. The lateral offset showed the relative valgus angle achieved as expected, the horizontal offset showed that no obvious antero-posterior deviation occured. The comparison between the preoperative Neck-shaft angle (NSA) and the postoperative Stem-shaft angle (SSA) showed there is no significant difference(P > 0.05). Conclusion The novel custom-made navigational template of femoral head can effectively assist surgeons for accurately implanting the femoral head components to the desired position in THRA.

[PMID: 31227302 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.05.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Revised: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 05/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peri-prosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are associated with poorer outcomes and high costs. We hypothesize that osteoporosis is under-recognized in the TKA population. The purpose of this study is to report osteoporosis prevalence in a healthy cohort of patients with well-functioning TKA and to compare prevalence between males and females. METHODS This study is a cross-sectional study of 30 adults (15 males/15 females) aged 59-80 years without known bone health issues who volunteered to undergo routine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry 2-5 years (average 3.2 ± 0.8) after primary unilateral TKA. These data plus clinical risk factors were used to estimate fracture risk via the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and skeletal status (normal, osteopenic, osteoporotic) was determined based on the World Health Organization definition. The National Osteoporosis Foundation criteria for treatment were applied to all patients. RESULTS Six of 30 (20%) patients had T-score ≤ -2.5. Eighteen of 30 (60%) patients had T-score between -1 and -2.5 and 6 (20%) patients had T-score ≥ -1. Five patients with normal or osteopenic bone mineral density (BMD) had occult vertebral fractures. Eleven of 30 (36.7%) patients met National Osteoporosis Foundation criteria for pharmacologic treatment. CONCLUSION The prevalence of occult osteoporosis meeting treatment guidelines after TKA is substantial in this sample (36.7%). BMD and osteoporosis prevalence are similar between men and women. This underappreciated prevalence of osteoporosis may contribute to peri-prosthetic fracture risk. Arthroplasty surgeons and bone health specialists must be aware of post-operative changes in bone density. These data support the further study of post-operative osteoporosis and consideration of routine BMD screening after TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study hypothesized that the use of bisphosphonates (BPs) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is associated with a lower implant revision rate. This study aimed (1) to investigate the association between BP use and the revision rate of TJA and (2) to determine the relationship between the medication period and the revision rate of TJA. METHODS National Health Insurance Service data on surgeries, medications, diagnoses, and screenings of 50 million Koreans were reviewed. People who underwent TJA in the period from 2002 to 2012 were identified and followed until 2016. During that period, 331,660 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and 56,043 patients underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA). Among them, 8447 knee patients (2.5%) and 2851 hip patients (5.0%) required revision surgery due to aseptic loosening. Demographic data, the duration of BP medication, and comorbidities were identified. The rate of revision surgery according to BP medication was investigated. The extended Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the effect of the medication period. RESULTS The rate of TKA revision was 1.4% for BP users and 2.9% for BP non-users (p < 0.001). The THA revision rate was 2.8% and 5.3% for BP users and non-users, respectively (p < 0.001). The hazard ratio (HR) of revision was significantly lower in patients who took BP medication for more than one year (TKA HR = 0.472, 95% CI [0.350-0.637]; THA HR = 0.490, 95% CI [0.247-0.972]) compared to that in short-term users (less than 1 year). CONCLUSIONS The use of BPs after TJA was associated with a lower revision rate. The use of BPs for more than one year further reduced the risk of revision. Bisphosphonate use can be highly recommended to reduce the revision rate of TJA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study, Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessments for osteoporosis in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) are very important with respect to the clinical results. However, few studies have investigated the status of the assessments and treatments for osteoporosis in post-THA patients. The purpose of this multicenter study was to investigate the status of assessments and treatments for osteoporosis in post-THA patients. METHODS The results of a self-report questionnaire and the medical records of 194 post-THA patients over 40 years of age who visited the outpatient departments of the five hospitals participating in the study were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 125 patients (64.4%) had been examined for osteoporosis, and 69 patients (35.6%) had never been assessed for osteoporosis. It was assumed, based on the questionnaire results, that 50 (40%) of the 125 patients should have been receiving treatment for osteoporosis. Forty-five (90%) of these 50 patients were actually taking medication for osteoporosis at the time of the investigation. Overall, a total of 58 (29.9%) patients were receiving treatment for osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS The present survey revealed that 64.4% of post-THA patients had been evaluated for osteoporosis. Moreover, while 40% of post-THA patients over 40 years of age may require treatment for osteoporosis, only 29.9% were actually receiving treatment.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative bisphosphonate treatment on the intra- and postoperative outcomes of arthroplasty of the shoulder. The hypothesis was that previous bisphosphonate treatment would adversely affect both intra- and postoperative outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients undergoing arthroplasty of the shoulder, at a single institution. Two patients with no previous bisphosphonate treatment were matched to each patient who had received this treatment preoperatively by gender, age, race, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and type of arthroplasty. Previous bisphosphonate treatment was defined as treatment occurring during the three-year period before the arthroplasty. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of intraoperative complications and those occurring at one and two years postoperatively. A total of 87 patients were included: 29 in the bisphosphonates-exposed (BP+) group and 58 in the non-exposed (BP-) group. In the BP+ group, there were 26 female and three male patients, with a mean age of 71.4 years (51 to 87). In the BP- group, there were 52 female and six male patients, with a mean age of 72.1 years (53 to 88). RESULTS Previous treatment with bisphosphonates was positively associated with intraoperative complications (fracture; odds ratio (OR) 39.40, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.42 to 6305.70) and one-year postoperative complications (OR 7.83, 95% CI 1.11 to 128.82), but did not achieve statistical significance for complications two years postoperatively (OR 3.45, 95% CI 0.65 to 25.28). The power was 63% for complications at one year. CONCLUSION Patients who are treated with bisphosphonates during the three-year period before shoulder arthroplasty have a greater risk of intraoperative and one-year postoperative complications compared with those without this previous treatment.

Abstract
Peri-implant osteolysis is commonly diagnosed after substantial bone loss has occurred, making revision surgery more challenging. The goal of the current study was to identify urinary biomarkers that differentiate total hip replacement patients who eventually develop osteolysis from patients who do not. We used a repository of 24-h urine samples collected prior to surgery and annually thereafter in 26 patients, 16 who developed osteolysis, and 10 who did not. We examined the markers at radiographic diagnosis, annually for 6 years preceding diagnosis, at the first post-operative sampling point, and pre-operatively. Patients in the osteolysis and non-osteolysis groups were matched according to time post-surgery and did not differ in the male:female ratio or age at surgery. Seven candidate biomarkers were measured, including free deoxypyridinoline (DPD), cross-linked N-telopeptides (NTX), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), osteoprotegerin (OPG), α-crosslaps (α-CTX), and β-crosslaps (β-CTX). As an individual biomarker, DPD demonstrated the highest ability to predict osteolysis, with an area under the curve (AUC) in Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses of 0.844 at 6 years prior to diagnosis. A panel of α-CTX and IL-6 was able to identify at-risk patients with an AUC of 0.941 or greater at all post-operative time points and an AUC of 1.000 pre-operatively. The results demonstrate the potential of using non-invasive biomarkers to identify patients at risk for peri-implant osteolysis long before the emergence of radiographic signs. Further, the high accuracy of the pre-operative biomarker levels demonstrates the potential importance of pre-existing, patient-specific factors driving subsequent osteolysis.

Abstract
Background Recently risedronate is suggested to be effective for the prevention and treatment of for osteoporosis in total hip arthroplasty. This meta-analysis aimes to evaluate the efficacy of risedronate in reducing femoral periprosthetic bone mineral density loss in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. Methods A systematic search was performed in Medline (1966-31 October 2017), PubMed (1966-31 October 2017), Embase (1980-31 October 2017), ScienceDirect (1985-31 October 2017) and the Cochrane Library. Only randomized controlled trial (RCT) were included. Fixed/random effect model was used according to the heterogeneity tested by I2 statistic. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 11.0 software. The outcome measures included periprosthetic bone mineral density, length of stay and adverse effects. Results Four RCTs including 198 patients met the inclusion criteria. The present meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences between treatment groups in terms of periprosthetic bone mineral density in Gruen zones 1 (standard mean difference (SMD) = 0.758, 95% CI 0.469 to 1.047, P = 0.000), 2 (SMD = 0.814, 95% CI 0.523 to 1.106, P = 0.000), 3 (SMD = 0.340, 95% CI 0.059 to 0.622, P = 0.018), 6 (SMD = 2.400, 95% CI 2.029 to 2.771, P = 0.000), and 7 (SMD = 2.400, 95% CI 2.029 to 2.771, P = 0.000). Conclusion Oral risedronate could significantly reduce periprosthetic bone resorption around an uncemented femoral stem (Gruen zones 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7) up to 6 months after THA. In addition, no severe adverse events were identified. Future trials of risedronate treatment after THA should focus on clinically relevant end points such as the risks of fracture and revision arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent study has reported that risedronate was effective in reducing periprosthesis bone loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The meta-analysis was performed to compare the clinical outcomes of THA with oral risedronate versus placebo. METHODS Electronic databases: PubMed (1950-March 2018), EMBASE (1974-March 2018), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science (1950-March 2018) were systematically searched. Two authors independently graded the methodological quality of each eligible study using the Cochrane Collaboration tool and extracted relevant data. Statistical heterogeneity among the trials were evaluated with chi-square and I-square tests. This meta-analysis was performed using STATA 14.0. RESULTS A total of 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2006 and 2015 were included in our study. The meta-analysis demonstrated that risedronate was associated with a significantly reduction of periprosthetic bone mineral density after THA. No increased postoperative complications were observed. CONCLUSION Oral risedronate might reduce the periprosthetic bone resorption after cementless THA. Additionally, no severe adverse effects were observed. High-quality RCTs with large sample size were still required.

Abstract
In addition to excellent biocompatibility and mechanical performance, the new generation of bone and craniofacial implants are expected to proactively contribute to the regeneration process and dynamically interact with the host tissue. To this end, integration and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents has become a rapidly expanding area. The incorporated active molecules can offer supplementary features including promoting oteoconduction and angiogenesis, impeding bacterial infection and modulating host body reaction. Major limitations of the current practices consist of low drug stability overtime, poor control of release profile and kinetics as well as complexity of finding clinically appropriate drug dosage. In consideration of the multifaceted cascade of bone regeneration process, this research is moving towards dual/multiple drug delivery, where precise control on simultaneous or sequential delivery, considering the possible synergetic interaction of the incorporated bioactive factors is of utmost importance. Herein, recent advancements in fabrication of synthetic load bearing implants equipped with various drug delivery systems are reviewed. Smart drug delivery solutions, newly developed to provide higher tempo-spatial control on the delivery of the pharmaceutical agents for targeted and stimuli responsive delivery are highlighted. The future trend of implants with bone drug delivery mechanisms and the most common challenges hindering commercialization and the bench to bedside progress of the developed technologies are covered.

Abstract
Total hip and knee arthroplasty are effective interventions for management of end-stage arthritis. Indeed, about 7 million Americans are currently living with artificial hip and knee joints. The majority of these individuals, however, will outlive their implants and require revision surgeries, mostly due to poor implant osseointegration and aseptic loosening. Revisions are potentially avoidable with better management of patient-related risk factors that affect the osseointegration of orthopedic implants. In this review, we summarize the published clinical literature on the role of demographics, biologic factors, comorbidities, medications and aseptic loosening risk. We focus on several systemic and local factors that are particularly relevant to implant osseointegration. Examples include physiological and molecular processes that are linked to hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia. We discuss how orthopedic implant osseointegration can be affected by a number of molecular therapies that are antiresorptive or bone anabolic (i.e. calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, strontium, hormone replacement therapy, selective estrogen-receptor modulators).

Abstract
Previous observational studies on statins have shown variable results based on the methodology used. Our objective was to study the association between statins and orthopedic implant failure and to explore the influence of methodological differences in study design. Our study base consisted of patients with a primary total joint replacement in Denmark and the United Kingdom (n = 189,286; 1987–2012). We used 4 study designs: 1) case-control (each patient with revision surgery matched to 4 controls), 2) time-dependent cohort (postoperative statin use as a time-varying exposure variable), 3) immortal time cohort (misclassifying the time postoperatively before statin use), and 4) time-exclusion cohort (excluding the time postoperatively before statin use). Cox proportional hazards models and logistic regression were used to estimate incidence rate ratios. In the time-dependent cohort design, statin use was associated with a decreased risk of revision surgery (adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.85, 0.96), which was similar to our case-control results (IRR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.81, 0.93). In contrast, both time-fixed cohort designs yielded substantially lower risk estimates (IRR = 0.36 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.38) and IRR = 0.65 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.68), respectively). We discourage the use of time-fixed cohort studies, which may falsely suggest protective effects. The simple choice of how to classify exposure can substantially change results from biologically plausible to implausible.

J Arthroplasty 2016; 31:537-41. [PMID: 26454569 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2015.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2015] [Revised: 09/11/2015] [Accepted: 09/14/2015] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates (BPs) are associated with lower total knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision risk, but the effect of bone mineral density has not been evaluated. METHODS A cohort of 34,116 primary TKA patients was evaluated with revision surgery and periprosthetic fractures as end points. BP usage was the exposure of interest. Bone quality (normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis) and patient age (<65 vs ≥65 years) were evaluated as effect modifiers of risk estimates. RESULTS Of the patients, 19.6% were BP users. In BP users, 0.5% underwent an aseptic revision; and 0.6%, a periprosthetic fracture. In non-BP users, 1.6% underwent aseptic revision; and 0.1%, a periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION Bisphosphonate use was associated with lower risk of revision in all bone quality categories in those older than 65 years. The risk of periprosthetic fractures was higher for patients on BP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often performed in patients who are older and may take bisphosphonates to treat a variety of conditions, most commonly osteoporosis. However, the clinical effects of bisphosphonate use on patients who have undergone THA are not well described. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Is bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoarthritis undergoing primary THA associated with a change in the risk of all-cause revision, aseptic revision, or periprosthetic fracture compared with patients not treated with bisphosphonates? (2) Does the risk of bisphosphonate use and revision and periprosthetic fracture vary by patient bone mineral density and age? METHODS A retrospective cohort study of 12,878 THA recipients for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis was conducted; 17.8% of patients were bisphosphonate users. Data sources for this study included a joint replacement registry (93% voluntary participation) and electronic health records and an osteoporosis screening database with complete capture of cases as part of the Kaiser Permanente integrated healthcare system. The endpoints for this study were revision surgery for any cause, aseptic revision, and periprosthetic fracture. The exposure of interest was bisphosphonate use; patients were considered users if prescriptions were continuously refilled for a period equal to or longer than 6 months. Bone quality (based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometery ordered based on the National Osteoporosis Foundation's clinical guidelines taken within 5 years of the THA) and patient age (< 65 versus ≥ 65 years) were evaluated as effect modifiers. Patient, surgeon, and hospital factors were evaluated as confounders. Cox proportional hazards models were used. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined. RESULTS Age- and sex-adjusted risks of all-cause (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.33-0.74; p < 0.001) and aseptic revision (HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.34-0.81; p = 0.004) was lower in bisphosphonate users than in nonusers. The adjusted risk of periprosthetic fractures in patients on bisphosphonates was higher than in patients not on bisphosphonates (HR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.13-3.27; p = 0.016). Lower risks of all-cause revision and aseptic revision were observed in patients with osteopenia (HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.29-0.84; and HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.29-0.99, respectively) and osteoporosis (HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.08-0.62; and HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.11-0.99, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Patients considered bisphosphonate users who underwent THA had a lower risk for revision surgery. Bisphosphonate use was associated with a higher risk of periprosthetic fractures in younger patients with normal bone quantity. Evaluation of bone quality and bisphosphonate use for the diagnosis of osteoporosis is encouraged in patients with osteoarthritis who are candidates for primary THA. Further research is required to determine the optimal duration of therapy because long-term bisphosphonate use has been associated with atypical femur fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Objective Several studies investigated the association between bisphosphonate use and the risk of implant revision after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA); However, the findings were inconsistent. We performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the overall relative risk of such an event. Methods We searched the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases to identify relevant publications on April 22, 2015. To calculate the pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidential intervals (CIs), a fixed- or random-effects model was applied based on the heterogeneity across studies. Results Three cohort studies and one case-control study were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the bisphosphonate nonusers, the patients who used bisphosphonates for a long period of time had a significantly decreased risk of implant revision after THA/TKA (summary adjusted RR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.38–0.61), and the summary adjusted RRs for the users who underwent THA and those who underwent TKA were 0.47 (95% CI: 0.36–0.61) and 0.45 (95% CI: 0.21–0.95), respectively. Conclusions Long-term use of bisphosphonates is correlated with a significantly decreased risk of implant revision after THA/TKA. However, due to limited number of the included studies, the findings of the present study should be treated with caution. More well-designed studies are required to further confirm our findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe and compare comorbidity among anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed patients and a gender- and age-matched group without ACL injury. Furthermore, we sought to evaluate the impact of comorbid diseases on the risk of ACL revision surgery. METHODS This case-control study included 13,443 unilateral primary ACL-reconstructed patients from the Danish Knee Ligament Reconstruction Register matched on gender and age with a comparison group without ACL injury. Information on medical comorbid conditions was obtained from the Danish National Registry of Patients. The prevalence of all comorbid conditions was described for ACL-reconstructed patients and the comparison group in terms of (1) the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI); (2) International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision disease chapters; and (3) more common chronic diseases in a younger population. Finally, we assessed the risk of ACL revision surgery according to the more common chronic diseases in a younger population, using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Although we found a large variety of diseases present among ACL-reconstructed patients, the percentage of patients with a CCI equal to 0 was high in both groups. ACL-reconstructed patients generally had a slightly lower prevalence of almost all International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision-classified comorbid disease groups compared with the comparison group without ACL injury. As expected, the prevalence of most diseases increased slightly with rising age. Furthermore, we found that having back pain or diseases of the back did alter the risk of revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS ACL-reconstructed patients are found to be generally healthy individuals with a low prevalence of serious and chronic diseases compared with an age- and gender-matched control group from the general population. A large variety of diseases are present in the ACL-reconstructed group but with very low prevalence rates and low CCIs, indicating that the severity of their illness is limited. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, case-control study.

Abstract
Background Bone loss leading to aseptic loosening of the prosthesis and periprosthetic fracture is a mode of failure in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of bisphosphonates in preventing femoral periprosthetic bone resorption following primary cementless THA zone by zone. Method Clinical randomized controlled trials concerning bisphosphonates application after primary cementless THA published up to October 2014 were retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane library, and Embase databases. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Data analysis was performed using StataSE12.0. Results Ten randomized controlled trials involving a total of 502 patients were assessed; the bisphosphonates group included 256 patients and the control group included 246 patients. The meta-analysis showed that the bone mineral density (BMD) of most femoral periprosthetic zones in bisphosphonates group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 3 months postoperatively except zone 5 with no significant difference. At 6 and 12 months, the BMD of bisphosphonates group was much higher than that in control group except zone 5, which showed no statistical difference. The BMD of bisphosphonates group was persistently higher than control group in zone 6 and 7 at 5 years postoperatively, while the other zones had no significant difference. Both serum bone alkaline phosphatase and urinary type I collagen N-telopeptide were significantly suppressed by bisphosphonates at 3, 6, and 12 months. Conclusion Bisphosphonates seem to decrease early femoral periprosthetic bone resorption after primary cementless THA. Drug efficacy was found to be long-standing in the main load-bearing zones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates may improve implant fixation by inhibition of bone resorption and stimulation of osteoblasts by up regulation of BMP-2. However, there are few clinical studies in this area. QUESTIONS/PURPOSE Does treatment with oral bisphosphonates improve implant fixation and bone remodelling around the acetabular component after revision arthroplasty with or without use of morselised allograft? PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients received university pharmacy blinded medication for three months: 5 mg risedronate or placebo one dosage and 1 g calcium carbonate and 800IE cholecalciferol per day. Forty-one patients were operated upon with revision of the cup. The revisions were performed with an uncemented (Trilogy, Zimmer, Warsaw, USA) or a cemented (Ogee, Depuy Int, England) cup. Radiostereometric analysis was obtained within one week after the operation, at three and six months, and after one, two and three years to study cup migration. Bone mineral density was measured postoperatively, at six months, one and two years, using DEXA. The presence and extension of radiolucent lines and graft remodelling were studied on conventional radiography. RESULTS The risendronate group revealed less anterior-posterior rotation at 6 months. We found no significant differences in migration at three years, change in bone mineral density, or graft remodelling and radiolucent lines formation between groups. CONCLUSIONS We could not demonstrate any beneficial effects of oral administration of risedronate on the fixation, bone mineral density or bone remodelling of revision cups using various amount of bone graft.

Abstract
WHERE ARE WE NOW?: Biological treatments, defined as any nonsurgical intervention whose primary mechanism of action is reducing the host response to wear and/or corrosion products, have long been postulated as solutions for osteolysis and aseptic loosening of total joint arthroplasties. Despite extensive research on drugs that target the inflammatory, osteoclastic, and osteogenic responses to wear debris, no biological treatment has emerged as an approved therapy. We review the extensive preclinical research and modest clinical research to date, which has led to the central conclusion that the osteoclast is the primary target. We also allude to the significant changes in health care, unabated safety concerns about chronic immunosuppressive/antiinflammatory therapies, industry's complete lack of interest in developing an intervention for this condition, and the practical issues that have narrowly focused the possibilities for a biologic treatment for wear debris-induced osteolysis. WHERE DO WE NEED TO GO?: Based on the conclusions from research, and the economic, regulatory, and practical issues that limit the future directions toward the development of a biologic treatment, there are a few rational approaches that warrant investigation. These largely focus on FDA-approved osteoporosis therapies that target the osteoclast (bisphosphonates and anti-RANK ligand) and recombinant parathyroid hormone (teriparatide) prophylactic treatment to increase osseous integration of the prosthesis to overcome high-risk susceptibility to aseptic loosening. The other roadblock that must be overcome if there is to be an approved biologic therapy to prevent the progression of periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening is the development of radiological measures that can quantify a significant drug effect in a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. We review the progress of volumetric quantification of osteolysis in animal studies and clinical pilots. HOW DO WE GET THERE?: Accepting the aforementioned rigid boundaries, we describe the emergence of repurposing FDA-approved drugs for new indications and public (National Institutes of Health, FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and private (universities and drug and device manufactures) partnerships as the future roadmap for clinical translation. In the case of biologic treatments for wear debris-induced osteolysis, this will involve combined federal and industry funding of multicenter clinical trials that will be run by thought leaders at large medical centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing life expectancy the prevalence of osteoarthritis is also substantially rising. Patients aged between 65 and 75 years scheduled for total joint arthroplasty suffer from undetected osteoporosis in 20-25% of cases. OBJECTIVES How to determine osteoporosis during preoperative workup? Which conclusions can be drawn for the operation treatment and the postoperative course? METHODS The literature dealing with the prevalence of osteoporosis, perioperative complications of total hip arthroplasty, selected register informations, guidelines for diagnostics and treatment of osteoporosis and for the postoperative treatment are summarized and discussed. RESULTS The fracture risk is determined according to the guidelines of the Dachverband Osteologie (DVO, Governing Body on Osteology). The implant and the anchorage are selected based on the risk of suffering from osteoporosis. An intraoperative fracture and early aseptic loosening are the main operative risk factors. For the postoperative course in addition to education about arthroplasty, adequate support for prevention of falls is mandatory. Continuous physiotherapy with muscular strengthening is advisable. The long-term medication should be checked for risks in the PRISCUS list of potentially inappropriate medication in the elderly and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should not be prescribed in patients with cardiac comorbidities. Patients with confirmed osteoporosis should be treated with antiresorptive agents.

Abstract
Osteoporosis presents a challenge for successful implant fixation due to an impaired healing response. Preclinical studies have consistently reported reduced osseointegration capability in trabecular bone. Although clinical studies of implant success in dentistry have not found a negative effect due to osteoporosis, low bone mass is a significant risk factor for implant migration in orthopedics. Pharmacologic treatment options that limit bone resorption or upregulate formation have been studied preclinically. While, both treatment options improve implant fixation, direct comparisons to-date have found anti-catabolic more effective than anabolic treatments for establishing implant fixation, but combination approaches are better than either treatment alone. Clinically, anti-catabolic treatments, particularly bisphosphonates have been shown to increase the longevity of implants, while limited clinical evidence on the effects of anabolic treatment exists. Preclinical experiments are needed to determine the effects of osteoporosis and subsequent treatment on the long-term maintenance of fixation and recovery after bone loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine how comorbid diseases (cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, pulmonary diseases, depression, psychotic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases) affect survival of hip and knee replacements. METHODS Data for this register-based study were collected by combining data from five nationwide health registers. 43 747 primary total hip and 53 007 primary total knee replacements performed for osteoarthritis were included. The independent effects of comorbid diseases on prosthesis survival were analysed using multivariate Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Occurrence of one or more of the diseases analysed was associated with poorer survival of hip (HR for revision 1.16, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.23) and knee replacements (1.23, 1.16 to 1.30). Cardiovascular diseases and psychotic disorders were associated with increased risk of revision after both hip (1.19, 1.06 to 1.34 and 1.41, 1.04 to 1.91, respectively) and knee replacement (1.29, 1.14 to 1.45 and 1.41, 1.07 to 1.86, respectively). Hypertension and diabetes were associated with early revision (0-5 years after primary operation) after knee replacements (1.14, 1.01 to 1.29 and 1.27, 1.08 to 1.50, respectively). Cancer was associated with poorer survival of hip replacements (1.27, 1.05 to 1.54) and late revision (>5 years) of knee replacements (2.21, 1.31 to 3.74). Depression affected the risk of early revision after hip replacement (1.50, 1.02 to 2.21). Neurodegenerative and pulmonary diseases did not affect prosthesis survival. CONCLUSIONS Comorbid diseases may play an important role in predicting survival of primary hip and knee replacements. The mechanisms underlying these findings and their effect on cost-effectiveness of joint replacements, merit further research.

Abstract
In experimental studies, statin use has been associated with reduction of osteoclastic activity and promotion of bone formation around implants. Moreover, a large clinical study recently reported a substantially reduced risk of revision for aseptic loosening among statin users with THA. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of statin use on the development of femoral osteolysis within 5 years after THA. We conducted a case-cohort study including all THAs presenting with femoral osteolysis at the 5 year visit (cases) and compared them with those without osteolysis (controls). Cases and controls were identified from a cohort of primary THAs operated between 2001 and 2005. Seven hundred thirty-five THAs were included, mean age 68 years. Five years after surgery osteolysis had developed around the femoral component of 40 THAs (5.4%). Ever-use of statins was much less frequent among cases (5 of 40, 12.5%) than among controls (199 of 695, 28.6%). The crude risk ratio of femoral osteolysis among statin users was 0.36 (95% CI 0.14; 0.92). After adjusting for age, sex, activity level, BMI, diagnosis, bearing surface, and type of stem, the adjusted risk ratio was 0.38 (95% CI 0.15; 0.99). In conclusion, statin use was associated with a reduced risk of developing femoral osteolysis 5 years after THA. Statins may be useful for reducing the risk of implant failure following THA.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue. It remodels, thereby maintaining serum calcium, repairing micro damage and maintaining strength. A reduction in the strength of bone leads to osteoporosis that may manifest clinically as low energy vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. The bone strength, in turn, is determined by its material, structural properties and on its remodeling potential. Commonly, osteoporosis is objectively evaluated by 'T' and 'Z' scores and these are the indicators of bone density as determined by Dexa scan; these scores correlate inversely with the fracture risk. Quite often, we forget that Dexa scan results are not the only factors determining bone strength and the association between bone density and bone strength is not fixed, and is exemplified by the example of "osteopetrosis". The same issue is happening with the prolonged use of bisphosphonates (BP's).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous papers have been published examining risk factors for revision of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), but there have been no comprehensive systematic literature reviews that summarize the most recent findings across a broad range of potential predictors. METHODS We performed a PubMed search for papers published between January, 2000 and November, 2010 that provided data on risk factors for revision of primary THA. We collected data on revision for any reason, as well as on revision for aseptic loosening, infection, or dislocation. For each risk factor that was examined in at least three papers, we summarize the number and direction of statistically significant associations reported. RESULTS Eighty-six papers were included in our review. Factors found to be associated with revision included younger age, greater comorbidity, a diagnosis of avascular necrosis (AVN) as compared to osteoarthritis (OA), low surgeon volume, and larger femoral head size. Male sex was associated with revision due to aseptic loosening and infection. Longer operating time was associated with revision due to infection. Smaller femoral head size was associated with revision due to dislocation. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review of literature published between 2000 and 2010 identified a range of demographic, clinical, surgical, implant, and provider variables associated with the risk of revision following primary THA. These findings can inform discussions between surgeons and patients relating to the risks and benefits of undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Bone is one of the few tissues in the human body with high endogenous healing capacity. However, failure of the healing process presents a significant clinical challenge; it is a tremendous burden for the individual and has related health and economic consequences. To overcome such healing deficits, various concepts for a local drug delivery to bone have been developed during the last decades. However, in many cases these concepts do not meet the specific requirements of either surgeons who must use these strategies or individual patients who might benefit from them. We describe currently available methods for local drug delivery and their limitations in therapy. Various solutions for drug delivery to bone focusing on clinical applications and intra-operative constraints are discussed and drug delivery by implant coating is highlighted. Finally, a new set of design and performance requirements for intra-operatively customized implant coatings for controlled drug delivery is proposed. In the future, these requirements may improve approaches for local and intra-operative treatment of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Immediate implant stability is a key factor for success in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Low bone mineral density (BMD) and age-related geometric changes of the proximal femur may jeopardize initial stability and osseointegration. We compared migration of hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stems in women with or without low systemic BMD. PATIENTS AND METHODS 61 female patients with hip osteoarthritis were treated with cementless THA with anatomically designed hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stems and ceramic-ceramic bearing surfaces (ABG-II). Of the 39 eligible patients between the ages of 41 and 78 years, 12 had normal systemic BMD and 27 had osteopenia or osteoporosis. According to the Dorr classification, 21 had type A bone and 18 had type B. Translational and rotational migration of the stems was evaluated with radiostereometric analysis (RSA) up to 2 years after surgery. RESULTS Patients with low systemic BMD showed higher subsidence of the femoral stem during the first 3 months after surgery than did those with normal BMD (difference = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.1-1.1; p = 0.03). Low systemic BMD (odds ratio (OR) = 0.1, CI: 0.006-1.0; p = 0.02), low local hip BMD (OR = 0.3, CI: 0.1-0.7; p = 0.005) and ageing (OR = 1.1, CI: 1.0-1.2; p = 0.02) were risk factors for delayed translational stability. Ageing and low canal flare index were risk factors for delayed rotational stabilization (OR = 3, CI: 1.1-9; p = 0.04 and OR = 1.1, CI: 1.0-1.2; p = 0.02, respectively). Harris hip score and WOMAC score were similar in patients with normal systemic BMD and low systemic BMD. INTERPRETATION Low BMD, changes in intraosseous dimensions of the proximal femur, and ageing adversely affected initial stability and delayed osseointegration of cementless stems in women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two-stage revision is regarded by many as the best treatment of chronic infection in hip arthroplasties. Some international reports, however, have advocated one-stage revision. No systematic review or meta-analysis has ever compared the risk of reinfection following one-stage and two-stage revisions for chronic infection in hip arthroplasties. METHODS The review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Relevant studies were identified using PubMed and Embase. We assessed studies that included patients with a chronic infection of a hip arthroplasty treated with either one-stage or two-stage revision and with available data on occurrence of reinfections. We performed a meta-analysis estimating absolute risk of reinfection using a random-effects model. RESULTS We identified 36 studies eligible for inclusion. None were randomized controlled trials or comparative studies. The patients in these studies had received either one-stage revision (n = 375) or two-stage revision (n = 929). Reinfection occurred with an estimated absolute risk of 13.1% (95% confidence interval: 10.0%-17.1%) in the one-stage cohort and 10.4% (95% confidence interval: 8.5%-12.7%) in the two-stage cohort. The methodological quality of most included studies was considered low, with insufficient data to evaluate confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS Our results may indicate three additional reinfections per 100 reimplanted patients when performing a one-stage versus two-stage revision. However, the risk estimates were statistically imprecise and the quality of underlying data low, demonstrating the lack of clear evidence that two-stage revision is superior to one-stage revision among patients with chronically infected hip arthroplasties. This systematic review underscores the need for improvement in reporting and collection of high-quality data and for large comparative prospective studies on this issue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test whether bisphosphonate use is related to improved implant survival after total arthroplasty of the knee or hip. DESIGN Population based retrospective cohort study. SETTING Primary care data from the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS All patients undergoing primary total arthroplasty of the knee (n = 18,726) or hip (n = 23,269) in 1986-2006 within the United Kingdom's General Practice Research Database. We excluded patients with a history of hip fracture before surgery or rheumatoid arthritis, and individuals younger than 40 years at surgery. INTERVENTION Bisphosphonate users were classified as patients with at least six prescriptions of bisphosphonates or at least six months of prescribed bisphosphonate treatment with more than 80% adherence before revision surgery. OUTCOME MEASURES Revision arthroplasties occurring after surgery, identified by READ and OXMIS codes. Parametric survival models were used to determine effects on implant survival with propensity score adjustment to account for confounding by indication. Results Of 41 995 patients undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty, we identified 1912 bisphosphonate users, who had a lower rate of revision at five years than non-users (0.93% (95% confidence interval 0.52% to 1.68%) v 1.96% (1.80% to 2.14%)). Implant survival was significantly longer in bisphosphonate users than in non-users in propensity adjusted models (hazard ratio 0.54 (0.29 to 0.99); P = 0.047) and had an almost twofold increase in time to revision after hip or knee arthroplasty (time ratio 1.96 (1.01 to 3.82)). Assuming 2% failure over five years, we estimated that the number to treat to avoid one revision was 107 for oral bisphosphonates. Conclusions In patients undergoing lower limb arthroplasty, bisphosphonate use was associated with an almost twofold increase in implant survival time. These findings require replication and testing in experimental studies for confirmation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone loss leading to late-occurring periprosthetic femoral fracture is a mode of failure in cementless total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this trial was to investigate the effect of a bisphosphonate, risedronate, on femoral periprosthetic bone resorption following total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. METHODS We enrolled seventy-three patients between the ages of forty and seventy years who were scheduled to undergo total hip arthroplasty in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 35 mg of risedronate (n = 36) or a placebo (n = 37) orally once weekly for six months. The primary end point was the change in bone mineral density in Gruen femoral zones 1 and 7. Bone mineral density scans were made preoperatively and at two days and three, six, twelve, and twenty-four months postoperatively. Secondary end points included migration of the femoral stem and clinical outcome. RESULTS Seventy of the seventy-three patients (thirty-three in the risedronate group and thirty-seven in the placebo group) were analyzed for the primary end point. The mean bone mineral density in zone 1 was 9.2% higher (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.2% to 14.1%) in the risedronate group than in the placebo group at six months postoperatively and 7.2% higher (95% CI, 1.0% to 13.3%) at one year. The mean bone mineral density in zone 7 was 8.0% higher (95% CI, 2.7% to 13.4%) in the risedronate group than in the placebo group at six months postoperatively and 4.3% higher (95% CI, -1.5% to 10.1%) at one year. Migration of the femoral stem, the clinical outcome, and the frequency of adverse events did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Risedronate taken once weekly for six months following total hip arthroplasty was effective in reducing periprosthetic bone resorption around an uncemented femoral stem up to one year after surgery but had no discernible effect on implant migration or clinical outcome. Future studies of bisphosphonate treatment following total hip arthroplasty should focus on clinically relevant end points such as the risks of fracture and revision arthroplasty.

Abstract
The occurrence of a fragility fracture is an opportunity to recognize osteoporosis and begin treatment to reduce the risk of another fracture. However, selecting the treatment may have an impact on the incident fracture and this requires careful consideration of the patient and the treatment choices. There is no consensus regarding the management of osteoporosis at the time of an incident fracture. This review will consider the treatment options after a fragility fracture.
