Motor function is related to the lower phase angle than to muscle mass of the lower limbs in older females with hip osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional observational study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:720. [PMID: 39242506 PMCID: PMC11380433 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07833-z] [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: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle mass and phase angle (PhA) can be measured using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Osteoarthritis of the hip (OAhip) causes decreased muscle mass and PhA in the deformed lower limb. However, previous studies have not accounted for the influence of sex, and thus, the relationship between muscle mass, PhA, and motor function remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between PhA, an index of muscle mass and quality measured using BIA, and motor function during gait and standing in female patients with OAhip. METHODS Muscle mass and PhA of patients with OAhip were measured using BIA. Motor function was evaluated using the Timed Up and Go test, ground reaction/weight, rate of force development/weight, and load ratio between the osteoarthritic (OA) and contralateral sides when standing up. The difference between the OA side and the contralateral lower limb was tested to clarify the characteristics of the deformed lower limb. The relationship between each motor function was determined using a partial correlation coefficient with age as a control variable and multiple regression analysis with each motor function as the dependent variable and age, OA-side muscle mass/body weight ratio, and PhA as independent variables. RESULTS This study involved 60 patients with OAhip (age 65.6 ± 7.6 years, height 154.2 ± 6.0 cm, weight 56.8 ± 10.5 kg) scheduled for unilateral total hip arthroplasty. Muscle mass, PhA, and lower limb load ratio were significantly decreased in the lower limbs on the OA side. Furthermore, using a partial correlation coefficient with age as a control variable, PhA showed significant correlations with motor functions related to standing up and walking, and multiple regression analysis revealed that PhA was independently related to each motor function. CONCLUSIONS Evaluation and interventions that consider muscle quality rather than muscle mass are important.

Abstract
Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP), defined as persistent discomfort in musculoskeletal tissues persisting for over 3 months, afflicts an estimated 1.71 billion people globally, leading to significant functional impairments and psychological distress, thereby detrimentally affecting individuals' quality of life. The objective of this narrative review is to elucidate the complex relationship among dietary habits, sarcopenia, and gut microbiota composition, with an eye toward enhancing patient management and outcomes. Given the burgeoning interest in the influence of diet on CMP, a detailed examination of the current literature is warranted. Nutritional intake is a critical determinant of the gut microbiota profile, which, in turn, is linked to musculature integrity and performance, potentially leading to sarcopenia. The development of sarcopenia can aggravate CMP owing to diminished muscular strength and functionality. Additionally, disruptions in the gut microbiota may directly modulate nociception, intensifying CMP manifestations. Thus, nutritional optimization emerges as a viable approach to CMP management. Emphasizing a diet conducive to a healthy gut microbiome could forestall or mitigate sarcopenia, thereby attenuating CMP intensity. Nevertheless, the domain calls for further empirical exploration to unravel the nuances of these interactions and to forge efficacious dietary strategies for individuals with CMP. Beyond mere analgesia, comprehensive patient care for CMP requires acknowledgment of the complex and multifactorial nature of pain and its foundational elements. Embracing an integrative treatment model allows healthcare practitioners to promise better patient prognoses, enriched life quality, and a decrease in the sustained healthcare costs associated with CMP.

Post-Arthroplasty Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis or Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: An Observational Study. J Funct Morphol Kinesiol 2024; 9:110. [PMID: 39051271 PMCID: PMC11270259 DOI: 10.3390/jfmk9030110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a preferred treatment for primary osteoarthritis (OA) or secondary degenerative arthropathy due to developmental hip dysplasia (DDH). Gait analysis is considered a gold standard for evaluating post-arthroplasty walking patterns. This study compared post-THA spatiotemporal gait parameters (SGPs) between OA and DDH patients and explored correlations with demographic and clinical variables. Thirty patients (15 per group) were recorded during gait and their SGPs were analyzed. Functionality was evaluated with the Oxford Hip Score (OHS). The OA patients were significantly older than DDH patients (p < 0.005). Significant and moderate to strong were the correlations between SGPs, age, and four items of the OHS concerning hip pain and activities of daily life (0.31 < Pearson's r < 0.51 all p < 0.05). Following THA, both groups exhibited similar levels of the examined gait parameters. Post-arthroplasty SGPs and OHS correlations indicate limitations in certain activities. Given the absence of pre-operative data and the correlation between age and SGPs and OHS, ANCOVA testing revealed that age adjusts OHS and SGP values, while pre-operative diagnosis has no main effect. These findings indicate that hip OA or DDH do not affect postoperative SGPs and patients' functionality. Future studies should examine both kinematic and kinetic data to better evaluate the post-THA gait patterns of OA and DDH patients.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, characterized by osteophyte formation, cartilage degradation, and structural and cellular alterations of the synovial membrane. Activated fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) of the synovial membrane have been identified as key drivers, secreting humoral mediators that maintain inflammatory processes, proteases that cause cartilage and bone destruction, and factors that drive fibrotic processes. In normal tissue repair, fibrotic processes are terminated after the damage has been repaired. In fibrosis, tissue remodeling and wound healing are exaggerated and prolonged. Various stressors, including aging, joint instability, and inflammation, lead to structural damage of the joint and micro lesions within the synovial tissue. One result is the reduced production of synovial fluid (lubricants), which reduces the lubricity of the cartilage areas, leading to cartilage damage. In the synovial tissue, a wound-healing cascade is initiated by activating macrophages, Th2 cells, and FLS. The latter can be divided into two major populations. The destructive thymocyte differentiation antigen (THY)1─ phenotype is restricted to the synovial lining layer. In contrast, the THY1+ phenotype of the sublining layer is classified as an invasive one with immune effector function driving synovitis. The exact mechanisms involved in the transition of fibroblasts into a myofibroblast-like phenotype that drives fibrosis remain unclear. The review provides an overview of the phenotypes and spatial distribution of FLS in the synovial membrane of OA, describes the mechanisms of fibroblast into myofibroblast activation, and the metabolic alterations of myofibroblast-like cells.

Abstract
Aims Intra-articular (IA) injection may be used when treating hip osteoarthritis (OA). Common injections include steroids, hyaluronic acid (HA), local anaesthetic, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Network meta-analysis allows for comparisons between two or more treatment groups and uses direct and indirect comparisons between interventions. This network meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy of various IA injections used in the management of hip OA with a follow-up of up to six months. Methods This systematic review and network meta-analysis used a Bayesian random-effects model to evaluate the direct and indirect comparisons among all treatment options. PubMed, Web of Science, Clinicaltrial.gov, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to February 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which evaluate the efficacy of HA, PRP, local anaesthetic, steroid, steroid+anaesthetic, HA+PRP, and physiological saline injection as a placebo, for patients with hip OA were included. Results In this meta-analysis of 16 RCTs with a total of 1,735 participants, steroid injection was found to be significantly more effective than placebo injection on reported pain at three months, but no significant difference was observed at six months. Furthermore, steroid injection was considerably more effective than placebo injection for functional outcomes at three months, while the combination of HA+PRP injection was substantially more effective at six months. Conclusion Evidence suggests that steroid injection is more effective than saline injection for the treatment of hip joint pain, and restoration of functional outcomes.

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 ).

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, knowledge of the epidemiology of osteoarthritis (OA) has dramatically advanced, and Osteoarthritis and Cartilage has been on the forefront of disseminating research findings from large OA cohort studies, including the Johnston County OA Project (JoCoOA). The JoCoOA is a population-based, prospective longitudinal cohort that began roughly 30 years ago with a key focus on understanding prevalence, incidence, and progression of OA, as well as its risk factors, in a predominantly rural population of Black and White adults 45+ years old in a county in the southeastern United States. Selected OA results that will be discussed in this review include racial differences, lifetime risk, biomarkers, mortality, and OA risk factors. The new Johnston County Health Study will also be introduced. This new cohort study of OA and comorbid conditions builds upon current OA knowledge and JoCoOA infrastructure and is designed to reflect changes in demographics and urbanization in the county and the region.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the current state of the literature regarding multi-joint osteoarthritis (MJOA) and discuss important future directions. DESIGN A narrative review of the author's work and other key references on this topic with a focus on the Johnston County studies, definitions of MJOA and their impact, multi-site pain in osteoarthritis (OA), genetics and biomarkers in MJOA, and perspectives on future work. RESULTS MJOA is variably defined and lacks a clear consensus definition, making comprehensive study challenging. Involvement of both symptoms and structural changes of OA in multiple joints in an individual is common, but patterns vary by sex, race/ethnicity, and other factors. Outcomes (e.g., general health, function, falls, mortality) are negatively impacted by a greater whole-body OA burden. Recent genetic and biomarker studies including whole-body OA assessments have begun to shed some light on potentially unique factors in the MJOA population. CONCLUSIONS Consideration of MJOA is essential for ongoing study of OA phenotypes, epidemiology, risk factors, genetics, biomarkers, and outcomes, to fully understand and eventually limit the negative impact of OA burden on health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disparities in care access based on insurance exist for total hip arthroplasty (THA), but it is unclear if these lead to longer times to surgery. We evaluated whether rates of THA versus nonoperative interventions (NOI) and time to THA from initial hip osteoarthritis (OA) diagnosis vary by insurance type. METHODS Using a national claims database, patients who had hip OA undergoing THA or NOI from 2011 to 2019 were identified and divided by insurance type: Medicaid-managed care; Medicare Advantage; and commercial insurance. The primary outcome was THA incidence within 3 years after hip OA diagnosis. Multivariable logistic regression models were created to assess the association between THA and insurance type, adjusting for age, sex, region, and comorbidities. RESULTS Medicaid patients had lower rates of THA within 3 years of initial diagnosis (7.4 versus 10.9 or 12.0%, respectively; P < .0001) and longer times to surgery (297 versus 215 or 261 days, respectively; P < .0001) compared to Medicare Advantage and commercially-insured patients. In multivariable analyses, Medicaid patients were also less likely to receive THA (odds ratio (OR) = 0.62 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.60 to 0.64] versus Medicare Advantage, OR = 0.63 [95% CI: 0.61 to 0.64] versus commercial) or NOI (OR = 0.92 [95% CI: 0.91 to 0.94] versus Medicare Advantage, OR = 0.81 [95% CI: 0.79 to 0.82] versus commercial). CONCLUSIONS Medicaid patients experienced lower rates of and longer times to THA than Medicare Advantage or commercially-insured patients. Further investigation into causes of these disparities, such as costs or access barriers, is necessary to ensure equitable care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide. Self-management is vital with education, exercise and weight loss core recommended treatments. However, evidence-practice gaps exist, and service models that increase patient accessibility to clinicians who can support lifestyle management are needed. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a telehealth-delivered clinician-supported exercise and weight loss program (Better Hip) on the primary outcomes of hip pain on walking and physical function at 6 months, compared with an information-only control for people with hip OA. METHODS A two-arm, parallel-design, superiority pragmatic randomised controlled trial. 212 members from a health insurance fund aged 45 years and over, with painful hip OA will be recruited. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive: i) Better Hip; or ii) web-based information only (control). Participants randomised to the Better Hip program will have six videoconferencing physiotherapist consultations for education about OA, prescription of individualised home-based strengthening and physical activity programs, behaviour change support, and facilitation of other self-management strategies. Those with a body mass index > 27 kg/m2, aged < 80 years and no specific health conditions, will also be offered six videoconferencing dietitian consultations to undertake a weight loss program. Participants in the control group will be provided with similar educational information about managing hip OA via a custom website. All participants will be reassessed at 6 and 12 months. Primary outcomes are hip pain on walking and physical function. Secondary outcomes include measures of pain; hip function; weight; health-related quality of life; physical activity levels; global change in hip problem; willingness to undergo hip replacement surgery; rates of hip replacement; and use of oral pain medications. A health economic evaluation at 12 months will be conducted and reported separately. DISCUSSION Findings will determine whether a telehealth-delivered clinician-supported lifestyle management program including education, exercise/physical activity and, for those with overweight or obesity, weight loss, is more effective than information only in people with hip OA. Results will inform the implementation of such programs to increase access to core recommended treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12622000461796).

Reporting Bias is Highly Prevalent in Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Platelet Rich Plasma Injections for Hip Osteoarthritis. Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil 2024; 6:100851. [PMID: 38299047 PMCID: PMC10827587 DOI: 10.1016/j.asmr.2023.100851] [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: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose To describe the incidence and types of spin in systematic reviews of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for hip osteoarthritis (OA) and to determine whether patterns in study characteristics could be identified among studies with identifiable spin. Methods The PubMed, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus databases were queried. Inclusion criteria were systematic reviews or meta-analyses that included an assessment of intra-articular PRP injections as a stand-alone treatment for hip OA. Two authors independently assessed the presence of spin in the included studies and recorded general study characteristics. The prevalence of the 15 different categories of spin was quantified using descriptive statistics. Results Fifteen studies met inclusion criteria for this study. All studies contained at least two types of spin (range 2-9), with a median of 2. The most common type of spin was type 14 ("Failure to report a wide confidence interval of estimates"), which was observed in 10 studies. The second most common type of spin was type 13 ("Failure to specify the direction of the effect when it favors the control intervention"), found in 6 studies. Conclusions Spin is highly prevalent in abstracts of systematic reviews of PRP in the treatment of hip OA. Several associations were found between spin types and the study characteristics of AMSTAR 2 rating, Scopus CiteScore, journal impact factor, and PROSPERO preregistration. When present, spin in the abstracts of reviewed studies tended to favor the use of PRP in hip osteoarthritis. Clinical Relevance It is important to understand the prevalence of spin in published abstracts, especially in areas of great impact or interest, so authors and readers can have a greater awareness of this potential form of bias.

Int J Rheum Dis 2024; 27:e15005. [PMID: 38185993 DOI: 10.1111/1756-185x.15005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
AIM Intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACIs) can reduce osteoarthritis-related pain, with differing levels of response across patient groups. This systematic review investigates what is known about the positive and negative predictors of outcomes in patients with osteoarthritis who undergo IACIs. METHODS We systematically searched the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases to May 2023 for studies that evaluated patients undergoing IACIs for osteoarthritis and reported on predictors of outcomes in these patients. RESULTS Eight studies were included. Two were placebo-controlled trials, six were observational studies. Due to the heterogeneity of outcomes and variables between the studies, it was not possible to pool the results for formal meta-analysis. Higher baseline pain, older age, higher BMI, lower range of movement, higher Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic score, joint effusion, and aspiration were shown to be predictors of a positive response to IACIs in some of the included studies. However, other studies showed no difference in response with these variables, or a negative correlation with response. Sex, smoking, mental health status, hypertension/ischaemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, duration of symptoms, and socioeconomic status did not demonstrate any correlation with the prediction of positive or negative outcomes after IACIs. CONCLUSION Several patient features have been identified as positive predictors of outcomes following IACIs. However, this systematic review has identified inconsistent and variable findings across the existing literature. Further research with standardization of IACI administration and outcome measures is required to facilitate further analysis of the reliability and significance of predictive factors for response to IACIs.

Abstract
Sports participation and the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) have been a concern for decades. Few research efforts have been dedicated to clarify this issue for females, although they are considered at greater risk of developing OA than males. In contrast, several reviews have established an association between sports participation and OA for males. The aim of the systematic review was to assess the association between OA and participation in popular sports for females. PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched and yielded 578 articles. Nine eligible studies were included and covered ballet (age range: 19-54 years), running or tennis (age range: 40-65 years), Olympic sports (age range: not specified), volleyball (age range: 16.0 ± 0.8 to 46.8 ± 5.1 years), and cross-country skiing (age range: 15 to ≥60 years). For females, participating in sports at an elite level was associated with a higher risk of OA and an increased need for surgical treatment. At non-elite level, it was associated with a higher risk of OA, but it did not materialize to an increased risk for surgical treatment. Few studies compared females and males, and these studies suggested that sex did not affect the risk of developing OA from participating in sports. Nevertheless, to isolate the precise effect of sports participation on the development of OA remains difficult as injuries are common among athletes and are independently associated with an increased risk of OA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To explore physiotherapist and patient experiences with, and acceptability of, a 12-week physiotherapist-guided combined strength and aerobic physical activity exercise programme for hip osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 13 people with hip OA and four physiotherapists. Patients underwent a 12-week home exercise programme customised by weekly visits with one of the four physiotherapists. The programme aimed for patients to participate in 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, and 20-30 min of strengthening exercise 2-3 times per week in concordance with American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) dosage guidelines. Following the programme, patients and physiotherapists participated in individual semi-structured interviews to explore the acceptability of the exercise programme and barriers and facilitators to participation. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using a thematic approach. RESULTS Five over-arching themes (supporting subthemes) were identified from both patient and physiotherapist interviews: (i) positive outcomes (functional improvements, pain relief, empowerment through experience, commitment to continue); (ii) combined benefits of aerobic and strength exercises (complimentary effects, strengthening exercises key); (iii) valuing support from the physiotherapist (personalised care, skill performance feedback, coach effect, accountability); (iv) motivation and opportunity for exercise (positive symptom loop, integration into daily routine, prior exercise experience, Fitbit motivation); and (v) time-consuming commitment (physiotherapy visit frequency, travel inconvenience, time for exercise). CONCLUSIONS Experiences of participants in this study indicate that, although time-consuming, a combined aerobic physical activity and strengthening programme prescribed at ACSM dosage guidelines is acceptable and confers positive outcomes in individuals with hip OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading global cause of chronic pain and disability. Given there is no cure for OA, patient self management is vital with education and exercise being core recommended treatments. However, there is under-utilisation of these treatments due to a range of clinician and patient factors. Innovative service models that increase patient accessibility to such treatments and provide support to engage are needed. This study primarily aims to determine the effects of a self-directed digital exercise intervention comprising online education and exercise supported by a mobile app to facilitate adherence on the primary outcomes of changes in hip pain during walking and patient-reported physical function at 24-weeks when compared to online education control for people with hip OA. METHODS We will conduct a two-arm, superiority parallel-design, randomised controlled trial involving 182 community volunteers aged 45 years and over, with painful hip OA. After completing the baseline assessment, participants will be randomly assigned to either: i) digital exercise intervention; or ii) digital education (control). Participants randomised to the intervention group will have access to a website that provides information about hip OA and its management, advice about increasing their physical activity levels, a 24-week lower limb strength exercise program to be undertaken at home three times per week, and a mobile app to reinforce home exercise program adherence. Participants in the control group will have access to a website containing only information about hip OA and its management. All participants will be reassessed at 24 weeks after randomisation. Primary outcomes are severity of hip pain while walking using an 11-point numeric rating scale and physical function using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index subscale. Secondary outcomes are the Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales of pain, hip-related quality of life, and function, sports and recreational activities; global change in hip condition; health-related quality of life; measures of physical activity levels; fear of movement; self efficacy for pain and for exercise; and use of oral pain medications. DISCUSSION Innovative and scalable approaches to OA education, physical activity, and exercise are required in order to improve exercise participation/engagement and mitigate physical inactivity in the hip OA population. This will help minimise the burden of this major public health issue on individuals and society. TRIAL REGISTRATION Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12622001533785).

Abstract
Diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis (OA) is based on clinical arguments, and medical imaging is obtained to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possible sources of pain. Conventional radiographs are recommended as the first line imaging modality to investigate chronic hip pain. They should be obtained in a rigorous technique that includes an antero-posterior (AP) radiograph of the pelvis. The choice of the appropriate lateral view depends on the clinical indication, Lequesne's false profile being valuable in the assessment of OA. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive to detect joint effusion/synovitis, cartilage, labral, and bone marrow lesions. However, structural joint changes are frequent in asymptomatic population and neither radiographs nor MRI have shown a good correlation with pain and functional impairment. MRI seems to be more suitable than radiographs as a biomarker for clinical trials addressing early OA. The absence of a validated MR biomarker of early OA, together with issues related to machine availability and MRI protocol repeatability, prevent the widespread use of MRI in clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an orthopaedic procedure that improves the quality of life in patients suffering from hip pain related to osteoarthritis, fractures, and avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Different surgical approaches can be used for THA leading to different recovery times. Because of the lowering medium age of people undergoing THA, it is important to focus on the earlier return of physiological activity after surgery. AIM To evaluate the best approach for THA in terms of earlier return to activity. METHOD Studies comparing the postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent THA through different approaches were analysed focusing on patients' self-reported outcomes, ADL score and UCLA activity score with a short follow-up. RESULTS A total of 1990 articles were identified in the search, and 14 met the inclusion criteria. The Review Manager software version 5.4 was used to conduct a meta-analysis to compare the direct anterior (DAA) and posterior (PA) approaches, which are the most adopted approaches. An earlier return to walk without aids and to independent ADLs were reported with DAA, but without statistical significance (respectively p = 0.06 and p = 0.10). The time to return to drive was similar among the 2 groups (p = 0.88). The return to work was faster with PA, but no statistical significance was reported (p = 0.47). CONCLUSIONS Further studies are needed with a larger number of patients, that present homogeneous outcomes, follow-ups and rehabilitation programmes, and that compare similar surgical approaches to assess the early return to activity of daily living after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anterior minimally invasive (AMI) approach reduces soft tissue damage, risk of dislocation and enhances recovery, but it is associated with certain complications. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) through posterolateral (PL) and AMI approaches performed by the same surgeon, in order to determine the learning curve associated with this new approach. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent THA via PL and AMI approach between 2017 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Hip fracture and oncologic patients were excluded. Demographic variables, functional scores and perioperative complications were assessed. A bivariate analysis was performed to identify differences between groups. RESULTS Data of 124 AMI and 120 PL patients were analyzed. Demographic characteristics among groups were homogeneous. Functional outcomes at 3 months were superior for AMI (Oxford: 43 vs. 38; p < 0.05), no dislocations were identified (0% vs. 4.2%; p < 0.05) and no differences in the transfusion rate were found (6.5% AMI vs. 6.7% PL; p = 0.996). Infection rate was 4% for AMI and 3.4% for PL (p = 0.572). Surgical time was shorter for the PL approach, but the median surgical time of the last 25 AMI cases was shorter. CONCLUSIONS The AMI approach is an excellent alternative for patients requiring THA. Although surgical time and perioperative bleeding were greater during the learning curve, this approach offers improved functional outcomes and a lower dislocation rate, without significant differences in transfusion and infection outcomes, demonstrating that responsible innovation and safe implementation of new techniques is possible.

The Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Intra-Articular Injections with Hyaluronic Acid and Corticosteroids in Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis: A Long-Term Real-World Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6600. [PMID: 37892738 PMCID: PMC10607283 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12206600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Intra-articular (IA) ultrasound-guided hip injections are currently considered a cornerstone of the conservative management of symptomatic hip osteoarthritis (HOA), although their effect on clinical outcomes has not been fully elucidated.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided IA hip injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) with or without corticosteroids (CS) on pain relief and functional improvement in patients with HOA. In total, 167 patients with HOA were assessed at baseline (T0) and 12 months after injection (T1) using the VAS and GLFS scores. The sample consisted mainly of female subjects (58.1%), presenting an average age of 70.6 ± 12.2 years and grade 3 HOA (63.9%) according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Most of the patients (76.2%) underwent unilateral hip injection with a combination of medium-high molecular weight HA (1500-2000 kDa) and CS. At T1, lower use of anti-inflammatory drugs, an increase in the consumption of chondroprotectors, and an overall reduction of instrumental physical therapies and therapeutic exercise were recorded. In addition, a statistically significant intragroup and between-group decrease observed at T1 for both the VAS and GLFS. Study results suggested that intra-articular hip injections with HA alone and with CS could represent a useful therapeutic tool for pain reduction and functional improvement for patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
QUESTION Is periodised circuit training delivered via a telerehabilitation model of care as effective as the same training applied face-to-face for improving pain intensity, physical function, muscle strength, pain catastrophising, body composition, intermuscular adipose tissue and muscle architecture in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA)? DESIGN Randomised controlled, non-inferiority trial with concealed allocation, blinded assessors and intention-to-treat analysis. PARTICIPANTS One hundred adults aged ≥ 40 years with knee OA and pain for ≥ 3 months, with current pain ≥ 40 mm on a 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS). INTERVENTION The experimental group received 14 weeks of circuit training delivered via telerehabilitation using video recordings, followed by periodic phone calls in order to motivate and instruct participants. The control group received the same circuit training program in a face-to-face format. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were pain VAS and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) physical function subscale, measured at 14 weeks. Secondary outcomes included objective physical function, strength, pain catastrophising and morphological measures (muscle architecture and thigh and body composition). Outcomes were measured at 14 and 26 weeks. RESULTS Periodised circuit training delivered via telerehabilitation had equivalent effects to face-to-face delivery for pain intensity, physical function, muscle strength, pain catastrophising, thigh composition, intermuscular adipose tissue and muscle architecture. Whole body composition did not change appreciably in either group. Adherence to the training was excellent and participants in each group reported good perceptions of their randomised intervention. CONCLUSION A periodised circuit training protocol can be delivered to people with knee OA in their own homes, using available technology while maintaining high levels of acceptability. More importantly, telerehabilitation appears to cause non-inferior physical and functional outcomes to face-to-face rehabilitation programs. TRIAL REGISTRATION RBR-662hn2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular corticosteroid injections are commonly administered for hip pain. However, guidelines are conflicting on their efficacy, particularly in patients without arthritis. This study assessed for an association of corticosteroid injections and the incidence of total hip arthroplasty at 5 years. METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of hip pain without femoroacetabular osteoarthritis who were administered an intra-articular corticosteroid injection of the hip within a 2-year period were identified from the Mariner PearlDiver database. Patient were matched to patients with a diagnosis of hip pain who did not receive an injection. 5-year incidence of total hip arthroplasty was compared between matched patients who received an intra-articular corticosteroid injection and those who did not. RESULTS 2,540,154 patients diagnosed with hip pain without femoroacetabular arthritis were identified. 25,073 (0.9%) patients received a corticosteroid injection and were matched to an equal number of control patients. The incidence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) at 5-year-follow up was significantly higher for the corticosteroid cohort compared to controls (1.1% vs. 0.5%; p < 0.001). The incidence and risk of THA increased along with number of injections (1 injection: 0.8%, OR 1.37; 95% CI, 1.34-1.42; p < 0.001, 2 injections: 1.1%; OR 1.45; CI, 1.40-1.50; p < 0.001, ⩾3 injections: 1.5%; OR 1.48; CI, 1.40-1.56; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS There may be a dose-dependent association of corticosteroid injections and a greater risk of total hip arthroplasty at 5 years. These results along with the conflicting guidelines on the efficacy of intra-articular steroids for hip pain should prompt physicians to consider osteoarthritis progression that may occur in the setting of corticosteroid injections in non-arthritic hips.

A cross-sectional survey. Musculoskeletal Care 2023; 21:763-775. [PMID: 36864703 PMCID: PMC10947065 DOI: 10.1002/msc.1751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Using a case vignette of an adult (George) presenting with hip pain consistent with hip OA, this study aimed to describe: (a) whether physiotherapists make diagnoses and identify bodily structures using either patient history and/or physical examination findings; (b) which diagnoses and bodily structures physiotherapists attribute to the hip pain; (c) how confident physiotherapists were in their clinical reasoning using patient history and physical examination findings; (d) what treatments physiotherapists would offer to George. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of physiotherapists in Australia and New Zealand. We used descriptive statistics to analyse closed questions and content analysis for open-text responses. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty physiotherapists completed the survey (39% response-rate). After receiving the patient history, 64% diagnosed George's pain and 49% of these as hip OA; 95% attributed George's pain to a bodily structure(s). After receiving the physical examination, 81% diagnosed George's hip pain and 52% of these as hip OA; 96% attributed George's hip pain to a bodily structure(s). Ninety-six percent of respondents were at least somewhat confident in their diagnosis after the patient history, and 95% were similarly confident after the physical examination. Most respondents offered advice (98%) and exercise (99%), but fewer offered treatments for weight loss (31%), medication (11%), and psychosocial factors (<15%). DISCUSSION About half of the physiotherapists that diagnosed George's hip pain made a diagnosis of hip OA, despite the case vignette including clinical criteria for a diagnosis of OA. Physiotherapists offered exercise and education, but many physiotherapists did not offer other clinically indicated and recommended treatments, such as weight loss and sleep advice.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is the world's leading cause of disability and is increasing in prevalence more rapidly than any other pain condition. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) are two common causes of LBP, and both occur more frequently in elderly women than in other populations. Moreover, osteoarthritis (OA) and OA pain, regardless of the joint, are experienced by up to twice as many women as men, and this difference is amplified during menopause. Changes in estrogen may be an important contributor to these pain states. Receptors for estrogen have been found within IVD tissue and nearby joints, highlighting the potential roles of estrogen within and surrounding the IVDs and joints. In addition, estrogen supplementation has been shown to be effective at ameliorating IVD degeneration and OA progression, indicating its potential use as a therapeutic agent for people with LBP and OA pain. This review comprehensively examines the relationship between estrogen and these pain conditions by summarizing recent preclinical and clinical findings. The potential molecular mechanisms by which estrogen may relieve LBP associated with IVD degeneration and FJOA and OA pain are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Most guidelines recommending weight loss for hip osteoarthritis are based on research on knee osteoarthritis. Prior studies found no association between weight loss and hip osteoarthritis, but no previous studies have targeted older adults. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether there is any clear benefit of weight loss for radiographic hip osteoarthritis in older adults because weight loss is associated with health risks in older adults. METHODS We used data from white female participants aged ≥65 years from the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures. Our exposure of interest was weight change from baseline to follow-up at 8 years. Our outcomes were the development of radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA) and the progression of RHOA over 8 years. Generalized estimating equations (clustering of 2 hips per participant) were used to investigate the association between exposure and outcomes adjusted for major covariates. RESULTS There was a total of 11,018 hips from 5509 participants. There was no associated benefit of weight loss for either of our outcomes. The odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for the development and progression of RHOA were 0.99 (0.92-1.07) and 0.97 (0.86-1.09) for each 5% weight loss, respectively. The results were consistent in sensitivity analyses where participants were limited to those who reported trying to lose weight and who also had a body mass index in the overweight or obese range. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest no associated benefit of weight loss in older female adults in the structure of the hip joint as assessed by radiography.

Abstract
Extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) is an established method in revision total hip arthroplasty. Proximal migration of the greater trochanter fragment and the resulting non-union of the osteotomy remains a major problem, and several techniques have been developed to prevent its occurrence. This paper describes a novel modification of the original surgical technique in which a single monocortical screw is placed distally to one of the cerclages used for the fixation of the ETO. The contact between the screw and the cerclage counteracts the forces applied on the greater trochanter fragment and prevents trochanteric escape under the cerclage. The technique is simple and minimally invasive, does not require special skills or additional resources, or add to surgical trauma or operating time, and therefore represents a simple solution to a complicated problem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence-based recommendations for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis are similar internationally. Nevertheless, clinical practice varies across countries. Instruments for measuring quality have been developed to improve health care through targeted interventions. Studies on health service quality must consider the structural and cultural characteristics of countries, because each of their strengths and weaknesses differ. However, such instruments for health-related patient-reported outcomes for osteoarthritis have not yet been validated in German and Italian languages. OBJECTIVES In order to be able to set targeted measures for the improvement of prevention and non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis in South Tyrol, Italy, the quality of care must be recorded. Therefore, the aim of the project is to update, translate, and validate the OsteoArthritis Quality Indicator (OA-QI) questionnaire version 2, an established and validated questionnaire in Norwegian and English, for Germany and Italy. The second aim is to determine the quality of care for osteoarthritis of the hip and knee in a sample of patients who consult general practice in South Tyrol, and for comparison with patients who are admitted to rehabilitative spa-treatments for osteoarthritis in the state of Salzburg, Austria. DISCUSSION The results of this study will enable the identification and closure of gaps in osteoarthritis care. Although it is expected that body weight and exercise will play special roles, other areas of nonsurgical care might also be involved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the causal association between genetically predicted obesity and the risk of hip osteoarthritis. METHODS We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to analyze the association between body mass index (BMI) and hip osteoarthritis using pooled-level genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. The inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR‒Egger, and weighted median methods were used to estimate the causal association. In addition, we applied the MR Steiger filtering method, MR robust adjusted profile score (MR.RAPS) methods, and the MR Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) global test to examine and address potential horizontal pleiotropy. RESULTS We found a causal relationship between genetically predicted BMI and the risk of hip osteoarthritis by the IVW method [OR = 1.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-2.00, P = 0.02]. In the sensitivity analysis, the results of the MR‒Egger and weighted median methods revealed similar estimations but with a wide CI with lower precision. The funnel plot, MR-Egger intercept, and MR-PRESSO all indicated the absence of a directional pleiotropic effect. In addition, no heterogeneity was observed in the present analysis. Therefore, the result of IVW is most suitable and reliable for the present MR analysis. CONCLUSION There is a causal relationship between obesity and a higher risk of hip osteoarthritis, suggesting that weight management may be an intervention for the prevention and management of hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Fluoroscopic guided intra-articular hip injections generally utilize a standard anterior-posterior view. However, this approach can expose patients to inadvertent femoral nerve or vessel infiltration owing to the proximity of the neurovascular bundle to the joint space. This case-series study describes a novel technique using fluoroscopic ipsilateral oblique angulation and caudal tilt of the image intensifier. With this view, the clinician can advance the needle in a lateral to medial trajectory to obtain intra-articular access and minimize the risk of complications. This method was performed in five patients with refractory chronic hip osteoarthritis, which resulted in notable pain improvements and no reported adverse events. The suggested technique could provide a safer alternative to the anterior-posterior imaging technique for intra-articular hip injections by avoiding the femoral neurovascular bundle, limiting needle repositioning, and offering a satisfactory postprocedural analgesic effect.

Abstract
Background
There is an evidence-practice gap in osteoarthritis (OA) management which has caused several patients living with the disease are receiving suboptimal medical care. Though there are several guidelines and treatment recommendations published, there is a real need to operationalise such evidence-based guidelines and facilitate their implementation by healthcare professionals in their local health systems
Main text
This work was carried out to outline a patient-centred multidisciplinary osteoarthritis care programme for knee and hip joint osteoarthritis that is applicable in standard clinical practice. A scoping review was conducted to identify an evidence-informed osteoarthritis management strategy, which outlines the optimal manner to treat patients living with osteoarthritis and can be implemented by healthcare professionals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used to guide the reporting of this review. Based on this, a “Model of Care” based on a patient-centred approach with shared decision-making to enhance the timely consideration of all treatment options (including non-pharmacological, pharmacological therapies, psychotherapy, rehabilitation as well as surgery) has been developed aiming to optimise the outcomes. The goals and principles have been identified as well as the key performance indices. An algorithm for the multidisciplinary management of osteoarthritis has been developed.
Conclusion
The developed osteoarthritis care programme (OACP) provided a “Model of Care” for people living with OA which can be implemented in standard practice. The results will give insight into the features, performance, results, and outcome measures assessed. It will also guide future research towards how “Model of Care” can be patient-centred and tailored to the individual medical status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although randomized controlled trials comparing hip arthroscopy with physical therapy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome have emerged, no studies have investigated potential moderators or mediators of change in hip-related quality of life. PURPOSE To explore potential moderators, mediators, and prognostic indicators of the effect of hip arthroscopy and physical therapy on change in 33-item international Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) score for FAI syndrome. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. METHODS Overall, 99 participants were recruited from the clinics of orthopaedic surgeons and randomly allocated to treatment with hip arthroscopy or physical therapy. Change in iHOT-33 score from baseline to 12 months was the dependent outcome for analyses of moderators, mediators, and prognostic indicators. Variables investigated as potential moderators/prognostic indicators were demographic variables, symptom duration, alpha angle, lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), Hip Osteoarthritis MRI Scoring System (HOAMS) for selected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) score. Potential mediators investigated were change in chosen bony morphology measures, HOAMS, and dGEMRIC score from baseline to 12 months. For hip arthroscopy, intraoperative procedures performed (femoral ostectomy ± acetabular ostectomy ± labral repair ± ligamentum teres debridement) and quality of surgery graded by a blinded surgical review panel were investigated for potential association with iHOT-33 change. For physical therapy, fidelity to the physical therapy program was investigated for potential association with iHOT-33 change. RESULTS A total of 81 participants were included in the final moderator/prognostic indicator analysis and 85 participants in the final mediator analysis after exclusion of those with missing data. No significant moderators or mediators of change in iHOT-33 score from baseline to 12 months were identified. Patients with smaller baseline LCEA (β = -0.82; P = .034), access to private health care (β = 12.91; P = .013), and worse baseline iHOT-33 score (β = -0.48; P < .001) had greater iHOT-33 improvement from baseline to 12 months, irrespective of treatment allocation, and thus were prognostic indicators of treatment response. Unsatisfactory treatment fidelity was associated with worse treatment response (β = -24.27; P = .013) for physical therapy. The quality of surgery and procedures performed were not associated with iHOT-33 change for hip arthroscopy (P = .460-.665 and P = .096-.824, respectively). CONCLUSION No moderators or mediators of change in hip-related quality of life were identified for treatment of FAI syndrome with hip arthroscopy or physical therapy in these exploratory analyses. Patients who accessed the Australian private health care system, had smaller LCEAs, and had worse baseline iHOT-33 scores, experienced greater iHOT-33 improvement, irrespective of treatment allocation.

Abstract
Objective To get information-driven insights from expert physicians regarding multiple aspects of the patient journey in knee and hip OA and establish a consensus for future studies and decision tree models in Turkey. Design 157 questions were asked in total during this three-round modified Delphi-method panel to 10 physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists (2 have rheumatology and 3 have algology subspeciality), one orthopaedic surgeon and one algology specialist from anaesthesia specialty background. A consensus was achieved when 80% of the panel members agreed with an item. Contradictions between different disciplines were accepted as a non-consensus factor. Results Panellists agreed that American College of Rheumatology classification criteria is mostly sufficient to provide an OA diagnosis in clinical practice, OA patients with ≥5 Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain or physical function score can be defined as moderate-to-severe OA if they have an additional ≥2 Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score, a minimum improvement of 30% from baseline in WOMAC pain or function subscales or in PGA score can be accepted as moderate treatment response where ≥50% improvement from baseline in those scores as substantial response. Panellists stated that arthroplasty procedures need to be delayed as long as possible, but this delay should not jeopardize a beneficial and successful operation. Conclusions These findings show that there is a significant disease burden, unmet treatment needs for patients with moderate-to-severe OA in Turkey from experts' perspective. Therefore, an updated systematic approach and decision tree models are needed to be implemented.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common debilitating disease in the elderly population. There are many treatment options available including physiotherapy, analgesics, steroid injections, arthroscopic debridement, high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and arthroplasty. Arthroscopic debridement is beneficial when patients are chosen with certain characteristics. This is a prospective case series where we have correlated the patient and disease characteristics, with the pre- and post-operative Oxford Knee Scores (OKS). Methods This study was done in a single centre with appropriate ethical committee approval and consent. Forty-nine patients were enrolled in the study. The scores were recorded pre-operatively and at 12 months after the interventions. Analysis was done for correlation of the outcome with patient characteristics, radiological and arthroscopic grading. Results Patients below the age of 56 years, with partial thickness chondral lesions, grade I-III Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) radiological grading and grade I-II Outerbridge arthroscopic grading showed significant improvement at 12 months. Conclusion Arthroscopic debridement is effective in younger patients with mild to moderate arthroscopic and radiologically graded osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate quantitative joint space width (JSW) at 10-, 30-, and 50-degree locations in relation to incident radiographic and symptomatic hip osteoarthritis (HOA) in a community-based cohort. METHODS Data were from Johnston County OA Project participants with supine hip radiographs at each of 4 time points; all had Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) grades and quantitative JSW. We assessed covariates (age, race, height, weight, body mass index [BMI]) associated with quantitative JSW and hip-level associations between quantitative JSW and HOA over time using sex-stratified and multivariable-adjusted linear mixed models. A cluster analysis with logistic regression estimated associations between quantitative JSW trajectory groups and incident radiographic HOA and symptomatic HOA. RESULTS At baseline, 397 participants (784 hips, 41% men, 24% Black, mean age 57 years) had a mean BMI of 29 kg/m2 . Over a mean of 18 years, 20% and 12% developed incident K/L grade-defined radiographic HOA or symptomatic HOA, respectively. Quantitative JSW was more sensitive to changes over time at 50 degrees. Values were stable among men but declined over time in women. Heavier women lost more quantitative JSW; changes in quantitative JSW were not significantly associated with race, education, or injury in women or men. In women only, loss of quantitative JSW over time was associated with 2-3 times higher odds of radiographic HOA and symptomatic HOA; among women and men, narrower baseline quantitative JSW was associated with these outcomes. CONCLUSION Hip quantitative JSW demonstrates marked differences in respect to sex, with significant loss over time only in women. Loss of quantitative JSW over time in women and narrower baseline quantitative JSW in men and women were associated with incident radiographic HOA and symptomatic HOA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the indications, outcomes, and complications of hip arthroscopy in individuals 50 years of age or older over the past 5 years. METHODS The electronic databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, and EMBASE were searched on March 3, 2022, for studies assessing the use of primary hip arthroscopy for patients aged 50 years or older from the past 5 years. The Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess study quality. Data are presented descriptively. RESULTS Overall, 17 studies were included, consisting of 6,696 patients (37.5%) with a mean age of 61.4 ± 5.0 years and a median follow-up of 24 months (range: 1.4-70.1). Indications for hip arthroscopy in patients aged 50 years or older were unspecified/undefined (93.8%), mixed pathology (i.e., combined femoroacetabular impingement [FAI], labral tear, osteoarthritis, etc.) (2.7%), and FAI (2.6%). Eleven studies demonstrated significant improvement in functional outcome scores from baseline to final follow-up. Of the 6 studies that compared outcomes across multiple age groups, 3 demonstrated significantly worse functional outcomes, and 2 demonstrated significantly higher rates of conversion to THA for older patients compared to younger patients. Lastly, the overall complication rates ranged from 0 to 38.3%. The rate of conversion to THA ranged from 0 to 34.6%, occurring between 6 and 60 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Hip arthroscopy for patients aged 50 years or older yields significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes postoperatively compared to baseline, with a moderate rate of conversion to THA (range: 0 to 34.6%). Clinicians should consider patient history (e.g., imaging, comorbidities, etc.) and values when electing for hip arthroscopy in the older population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

Evaluation of the patient-accompanying app "alley ortho companion" for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip: study protocol for a randomized controlled multi-center trial. Trials 2022; 23:716.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common disabilities in the elderly. When conservative management fails, total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is the treatment of choice for end-stage OA. Since quality and durability of implants has steadily improved, pre -and postsurgical processes moved into the focus of research. Hence, eHealth approaches offer an opportunity to provide a more available continuity of care. Regarding individualized pre-, peri-, and postsurgical stages, eHealth is expected to improve patient engagement, self-care, and outcomes across the surgical pathway. Aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the eHealth application "alley" as an adjuvant intervention to TJA. The app provides comprehensive information to empower patient with hip or knee OA to prepare and accompany them for their TJA surgery. Our primary hypothesis is that the pre- and postoperative adjuvant use of the eHealth application "alley" (intervention group, IG) leads to improved functional outcome. METHODS Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center trial including n = 200 patients diagnosed with hip and n = 200 patients with knee OA (n = 200) scheduled for TJA. Patients of both groups will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms. Patients in the intervention group will receive access to the functions of the "alley" app. The app presents informative (e.g., information about osteoarthritis), organizational (e.g., information about medical rehabilitation), and emotional/empowerment (e.g., information about the relationship between mood and pain) content. Patients evaluate their condition and functional level by means of standardized digitally questionnaires. Patients in the control group will not receive any functions of the app. Assessments will be performed at baseline before, 10 days after, 1 months after, 3 months after, 6 months after, and 12 months after TJA. Primary outcome is change from baseline measured by the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score or Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score 3 months after TJA. The statistical analysis (t-test for independent variables with effect size Cohen's d) is performed separately for patients with TKA and THA. DISCUSSION Overall, the study aims to improve the understanding of the benefits of eHealth applications in the treatment of elderly patients with knee or hip arthroplasty. The approach is novel since a health care companion is combined with a digital information platform enabling direct and continuous feedback from the patients to the therapeutic treatment team. As the study investigate the effectiveness under everyday conditions, it is not feasible to control whether the patients in the IG read the educational information of the app respectively the control group consume additional information from other sources. However, this increases the external validity of the study if significant effects for the app can be demonstrated. TRIAL REGISTRATION German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00025608.

Abstract
Introduction. Hip replacement is a frequently performed and highly successful treatment for patients with end stage osteoarthritis. Advances in technique and pain management have allowed for rapid mobilization and early discharge after surgery. We hypothesize that pre-incision intra-articular injection of local anesthetic with epinephrine under image guidance combined with post incision peri-articular injection (PAI) may be more effective than PAI alone. Methods. A prospective, randomized, controlled, comparative investigation at a single institution of 41 patients undergoing THA who received standard 30 mL post-arthrotomy, PAI of ropivacaine with epinephrine under direct visualization after prosthesis implantation before closure or an equivalent dose divided into a 10 mL pre-incision, ultrasound guided intra-articular injection and a 20 mL post-arthrotomy PAI. Results. 42 patients were included in this study before its early conclusion with 22 patients in the treatment group and 20 in the control group. There were no significant differences in age, BMI or ASA scores. Additionally, there were no significant differences noted when comparing groups by postoperative outcome measures including OMME, EBL, OR time, PACU minutes, and first and last PACU pain score. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the PROMs evaluated. Discussion. The addition of ultrasound guided pre-incision intra-articular injection to the standard PAI had no benefit when compared with standard PAI during a THA. Portable mobile phone based ultrasound devices provide a cost effective way to perform musculoskeletal blocks, and further studies on their use and comparative accuracy is warranted. A novel technique for confirmation of injection location is described.

Changes in foot progression angle during gait reduce the knee adduction moment and do not increase hip moments in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. J Biomech 2022; 141:111204. [PMID: 35772243 PMCID: PMC9466647 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2022.111204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
People with knee osteoarthritis who adopt a modified foot progression angle (FPA) during gait often benefit from a reduction in the knee adduction moment. It is unknown, however, whether changes in the FPA increase hip moments, a surrogate measure of hip loading, which will increase the mechanical demand on the joint. This study examined how altering the FPA affects hip moments. Individuals with knee osteoarthritis walked on an instrumented treadmill with their baseline gait, 10° toe-in gait, and 10° toe-out gait. A musculoskeletal modeling package was used to compute joint moments from the experimental data. Fifty participants were selected from a larger study who reduced their peak knee adduction moment with a modified FPA. In this group, participants reduced the first peak of the knee adduction moment by 7.6% with 10° toe-in gait and reduced the second peak by 11.0% with 10° toe-out gait. Modifying the FPA reduced the early-stance hip abduction moment, at the time of peak hip contact force, by 4.3% ± 1.3% for 10° toe-in gait (p = 0.005, d = 0.49) and by 4.6% ± 1.1% for 10° toe-out gait (p < 0.001, d = 0.59) without increasing the flexion and internal rotation moments (p > 0.15). Additionally, 74% of individuals reduced their total hip moment at time of peak hip contact force with a modified FPA. In summary, when adopting a FPA modification that reduced the knee adduction moment, participants, on average, did not increase surrogate measures of hip loading.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : The prevalence of both obesity and osteoarthritis (OA) are increasing worldwide (twindemic), and the association between the two chronic diseases is also well-established. AREAS COVERED : In this narrative review, we will briefly describe the double burdens of both diseases, the impact of weight loss or gain on OA incidence and structural progression and discuss the biomechanical and anti-inflammatory mechanisms mediating these effects. FDA-approved anti-obesity drugs are summarized in terms of their clinical efficacy and safety profile, and the completed or ongoing phase 2/3 clinical trials of such drugs in OA patients with obesity are examined. EXPERT OPINION : We will discuss the perspectives related to principles of prescription of anti-obesity drugs, the potential role of phenotype-guided approach, time to drug effects in clinical trials, sustainability of weight loss based on the real-world studies, the importance of concomitant therapies such as dieting and exercises, and the role of weight loss on non-weight bearing OA joints. Although obesity is the major risk factor for OA pathogenesis and progression, and there are a variety of anti-obesity medications on the market, research on the use of these disease-modifying drugs in OA (DMOAD) is still sparse..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify, critically evaluate and synthesize the evidence obtained from systematic reviews on the association between genetic polymorphisms and osteoarthritis (OA) development. METHODS Considering gene polymorphisms associated with OA susceptibility (risk or protection), a comprehensive search was conducted in the following databases, without date or language restrictions: MEDLINE, via Pubmed; Embase, via Elsevier; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, via Wiley; Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Gray literature was also searched through the OpenGrey database. The AMSTAR-2 (Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews) was used to assess the methodological quality of the included systematic reviews. RESULTS We included 14 systematic reviews of case-control studies comparing individuals with a radiographic diagnosis of all OA types and healthy controls, all submitted to the genetic examination of different polymorphisms in candidate genes. Meta-analyses showed a protective effect against knee and hand OA associated with GDF-5 gene (odds ratio [OR] 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85-0.95), and knee OA with ESRα gene (OR 0.63, 95% CI 1.26-1.97). SMAD3 gene was associated with knee and hip OA risk (OR 1.21. 95% CI 1.07-1.38) and MMP-1 gene was associated with temporomandibular OA (OR 1.58. 95% CI 1.26-1.97). CONCLUSION Based on low-quality to critically-low-quality systematic reviews, some gene polymorphisms seem to be associated with risk or protection for OA. Further high-quality studies are needed to validate these hypotheses, contribute to disease understanding, and possibly help the decision-making related to early diagnosis and treatment options for OA.

Abstract
Objective To conduct a network meta-analysis comparing all treatments for osteoarthritis (OA) pain in the Cochrane Library. Design The Cochrane Library and Epistemonikos were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about treatments for hip and knee OA. We constructed 17 broad categories, comprising drug treatments, exercise, surgery, herbs, orthotics, passive treatments, regenerative medicine, diet/weight loss, combined treatments, and controls. In addition to a full network analysis, we compared the direct/indirect effects, and studies with shorter-/longer follow-up. CINeMA software was used for assessing confidence in network meta-analysis estimates. Results We included 35 systematic reviews including 445 RCTs. There were 153 treatments for OA. In total, 491 comparisons were related to knee OA, less on hip OA, and only nine on hand OA. Six treatment categories showed clinically significant effects favoring treatment over control on pain. "Diet/weight loss" and "Surgery" had effect sizes close to zero. The network as a whole was not coherent. Of 136 treatment comparisons, none were rated as high confidence, six as moderate, 13 as low, and 117 as very low. Conclusions Direct comparison of different available treatment options for OA is desirable, however not currently feasible in practice, due to heterogeneous study populations and lack of clear descriptions of control interventions. We found that many treatments were effective, but since the network as a whole was not coherent and lacked high confidence in the treatment comparisons, we could not produce a ranking of effects.

Abstract
Objective To describe the point prevalence of hip symptoms, radiographic hip osteoarthritis (rHOA), severe rHOA, and symptomatic rHOA (sxHOA) at five time points in the longitudinal, population-based Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project (JoCoOA). Design Data were from 3068 JoCoOA participants who attended up to five study visits (1991-2018). Standardized supine pelvis radiographs were read by a single, expert musculoskeletal radiologist with high reliability. The four outcomes were: 1) self-reported hip symptoms: "On most days, do you have pain, aching, or stiffness in your right/left hip?"; 2) rHOA: Kellgren-Lawrence grade (KLG) of 2-4; 3) severe rHOA: KLG of 3-4; and 4) sxHOA: both symptoms and rHOA in the same joint. Weighted point prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were generated overall and by age group (45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+ years), sex, race (Black/White), and body mass index (BMI; 18.5-24.9; 25-29.9; 30+ kg/m2). Results At the most recent follow-up (2017-2018), the point prevalence (%) of hip symptoms, rHOA, severe rHOA, and sxHOA were 30% (95% CI 25%, 35%), 53% (95% CI 48%, 58%), 9% (95% CI 6%, 12%), and 15% (95% CI 11%, 19%), respectively. RHOA and severe rHOA were most prevalent in those 75+ years. Women were more likely than men to have hip symptoms and sxHOA. No consistent trends were noted by race or BMI. Conclusion These updated point prevalence estimates demonstrate a large and increasing burden of HOA in the general population, particularly with aging. Black and White individuals were affected similarly in this cohort.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease resulting in joint deterioration. Synovial inflammation is present in the OA joint and has been associated with radiographic and pain progression. Several OA risk factors, including ageing, obesity, trauma and mechanical loading, play a role in OA pathogenesis, likely by modifying synovial biology. In addition, other factors, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, damage-associated molecular patterns, cytokines, metabolites and crystals in the synovium, activate synovial cells and mediate synovial inflammation. An understanding of the activated pathways that are involved in OA-related synovial inflammation could form the basis for the stratification of patients and the development of novel therapeutics. This Review focuses on the biology of the OA synovium, how the cells residing in or recruited to the synovium interact with each other, how they become activated, how they contribute to OA progression and their interplay with other joint structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of musculoskeletal pain. Exercise is a core recommended treatment. Most evidence is based on muscle-strengthening exercise, but aerobic physical activity has potential to enhance clinical benefits. The primary aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that adding aerobic physical activity to a muscle strengthening exercise leads to significantly greater reduction in hip pain and improvements in physical function, compared to a lower-limb muscle strengthening exercise program alone at 3 months. METHODS This is a superiority, 2-group, parallel randomised controlled trial including 196 people with symptomatic hip OA from the community. Following baseline assessment, participants are randomly allocated to receive either i) aerobic physical activity and muscle strengthening exercise or; ii) muscle strengthening exercise only. Participants in both groups receive 9 consultations with a physiotherapist over 3 months. Both groups receive a progressive muscle strengthening exercise program in addition to advice about OA management. The aerobic physical activity plan includes a prescription of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity with a goal of attaining 150 min per week. Primary outcomes are self-reported hip pain assessed on an 11-point numeric rating scale (0 = 'no pain' and 10 = 'worst pain possible') and self-reported physical function (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index physical function subscale) at 3 months. Secondary outcomes include other measures of self-reported pain (assessed at 0, 3, 9 months), self-reported physical function (assessed at 0, 3, 9 months), performance-based physical function (assessed at 0, 3 months), joint stiffness (assessed at 0, 3, 9 months), quality of life (assessed at 0, 3, 9 months), muscle strength (assessed at 0, 3 months), and cardiorespiratory fitness (assessed at 0, 3 months). Other measures include adverse events, co-interventions, and adherence. Measures of body composition, serum inflammatory biomarkers, quantitative sensory measures, anxiety, depression, fear of movement and self-efficacy are included to explore causal mechanisms. DISCUSSION Findings will assist to provide an evidence-based recommendation regarding the additional effect of aerobic physical activity to lower-limb muscle strengthening on hip OA pain and physical function.

Abstract
Introduction: Primary osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of knee pain. Appropriate management of knee OA is based on clinical and radiological findings. Pain, deformity, and functional impairments are major clinical factors considered along with radiological findings when making management decisions. Differences in management strategies might exist due to clinical and radiological factors. This study aims at finding possible associations between clinical and radiological observations. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of 52 patients with primary osteoarthritis of the knee managed conservatively at a tertiary hospital arthroplasty clinic was conducted for three months. English speaking patients with primary OA were identified and included in this study. Pain and functional impairment were assessed using Wong-Baker Faces pain scale, The Knee Society Score (KSS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The Body Mass Index (BMI) of all participants was measured. Standard two views plain radiographs were used for radiographic grading of the OA. Anonymized radiographs were presented to two senior consultant orthopaedic surgeons who graded the OA using Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) and Ahlbäck classification systems. The severity of the functional impairment and pain score was then compared to the radiological grading. Results: The average age of our participants was 63 ± 9 years. Their average BMI was 34.9 ± 8.4 kg/m2, median self-reported pain, total WOMAC, and pain WOMAC scores were 8, 60, and 13, respectively. We observed no significant correlation between BMI and pain scores. Inter-rater reliability for KL and Ahlbäck grading was strong. There was no significant correlation between WOMAC scores and the radiological grades. Conclusion: There was no correlation between pain and functional scores, patient factors and radiological severity of OA of the knee.

Abstract
The paradigm in the treatment of arthritis pain is shifting for previously open surgical denervations of the hip and shoulder, as it already has for the geniculate nerves in knee arthritis. Interventional radiology is poised to contribute to this space with the use of CT guidance to provide safe, fast, and effective targeting of the target nerves for unequivocal diagnostic nerve block and definitive cooled radiofrequency denervation. The authors provide the background of which nerves are targeted for hip and shoulder denervation and the normal CT appearance of these blocks.
