Li X, Deng Z, Lu W. Mechanistic study of the effect of flexible fixation and load-bearing stress environment on fracture healing and shaping. Animal Model Exp Med 2024. [PMID: 38978345 DOI: 10.1002/ame2.12448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The biomechanical environment created by suture-button fixation Latarjet is conducive to the healing and shaping of the transplanted coracoid, but its mechanism remains unclear. The latest research has found that the absence of stem cell chemokine (CXCL12) impeded bone regeneration in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH)-deficient animals. However, whether the biomechanical environment affects SHH and CXCL12 function has not been studied. METHODS Rat fracture models were constructed to simulate stress environments under non-load-bearing and load-bearing conditions. The fracture healing and shaping, as well as the expression levels of SHH and CXCL12, were assessed through gross viewing, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histochemical staining. RESULTS Under flexible fixation, the relative bone volume (BV/TV) of rats exposed to the load-bearing stress environment was significantly higher than that of rats under a non-load-bearing stress environment (p ≤ 0.05). Adverse bone shaping was not observed in rats subjected to flexible fixation. The levels of SHH and CXCL12 in load-bearing rats exhibited significant elevation (p ≤ 0.05). Under a load-bearing stress environment, no significant difference was observed in the BV/TV between the flexible fixation group and the rigid fixation group (p ≥ 0.05), but there was excessive hyperplasia of the fracture callus in the rigid fixation group. The levels of SHH and CXCL12 in rats subjected to rigid fixation were significantly elevated (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Flexible fixation and load-bearing stress environment may contribute to bone healing and shaping by influencing the levels of SHH and CXCL12, suggested that this mechanism may be relevant to the healing and shaping of the transplanted coracoid after suture-button fixation Latarjet.

Abstract
The treatment of shoulder instability in the presence of a subcritical glenoid defect poses challenges, as simple Bankart seems insufficient, and the Latarjet procedure may be excessive. Recently, a dynamic anterior stabilization technique involving anterior transposition of the long head of the biceps (LHB) through a subscapularis split was described for that purpose. Previously published results demonstrated good short-term results, but several technical pitfalls have also been mentioned. We describe an onlay, anchorless, and intra-articular knotless method of fixing the LHB into the anterior glenoid that provides the important stabilizing "sling effect" of the dynamic anterior stabilization while avoiding some of the pitfalls described by other techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of consensus concerning the coracoid graft length in the modified Bristow procedure. OBJECTIVE We attempted to determine the optimal graft length using the three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS In a shoulder model with a 25% anterior glenoid defect, a coracoid graft of varying lengths (5, 10, 15, and 20 mm) was fixed using a half-threaded screw. First, a compressive load of 500 N was applied to the screw head to determine the graft failure load during screw tightening. Next, a tensile load (200 N) was applied to the graft to determine the failure load due to biceps muscle traction. RESULTS In the screw compression, the failure loads in the 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-mm models were 252, 370, 377, and 331 N, respectively. In the tensile load applied to the coracoid graft, the failure load exceeded 200 N for both the 5- and 10-mm models. CONCLUSION The 5-mm graft had a high risk of fracture during intraoperative screw tightening. As for the biceps muscle traction, the 5- and 10-mm-grafts had a lower failure risk than the 15- and 20-mm-grafts. Therefore, we believe that the optimal length of the coracoid graft is 10 mm in the modified Bristow procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glenohumeral joint contact loading before and after glenoid bone grafting for recurrent anterior instability remains poorly understood. PURPOSE To develop a computational model to evaluate the influence of glenoid bone loss and graft positioning on graft and cartilage contact pressures after the Latarjet procedure. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS A finite element model of the shoulder was developed using kinematics, muscle and glenohumeral joint loading of 6 male participants. Muscle and joint forces at 90° of abduction and external rotation were calculated and employed in simulations of the native shoulder, as well as the shoulder with a Bankart lesion, 10% and 25% glenoid bone loss, and after the Latarjet procedure. RESULTS A Bankart lesion as well as glenoid bone loss of 10% and 25% significantly increased glenoid and humeral cartilage contact pressures compared with the native shoulder (P < .05). The Latarjet procedure did not significantly increase glenoid cartilage contact pressure. With 25% glenoid bone loss, the Latarjet procedure with a graft flush with the glenoid and the humerus positioned at the glenoid half-width resulted in significantly increased humeral cartilage contact pressure compared with that preoperatively (P = .023). Under the same condition, medializing the graft by 1 mm resulted in humeral cartilage contact pressure comparable with that preoperatively (P = .097). Graft lateralization by 1 mm resulted in significantly increased humeral cartilage contact pressure in both glenoid bone loss conditions (P < .05). CONCLUSION This modeling study showed that labral damage and greater glenoid bone loss significantly increased glenoid and humeral cartilage contact pressures in the shoulder. The Latarjet procedure may mitigate this to an extent, although glenoid and humeral contact loading was sensitive to graft placement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The Latarjet procedure with a correctly positioned graft should not lead to increased glenohumeral joint contact loading. The present study suggests that lateral graft overhang should be avoided, and in the situation of large glenoid bone defects, slight medialization (ie, 1 mm) of the graft may help to mitigate glenohumeral joint contact overloading.

Radiological and Histological Analyses of Nonrigid Versus Rigid Fixation for Free Bone Block Procedures in a Rabbit Model of Glenoid Defects. Am J Sports Med 2023; 51:743-757.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonrigid fixation techniques have been recently introduced in free bone block (FBB) procedures to treat substantial glenoid bone loss in patients with anterior shoulder instability. However, the radiological and histological effectiveness of nonrigid fixation versus conventional rigid fixation have not been comprehensively understood in vivo. PURPOSE To (1) explore the radiological and histological characteristics of nonrigid fixation for FBB procedures in a rabbit model of glenoid defects and (2) further compare them with those of conventional rigid fixation. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Unilateral shoulder glenoid defects were created in 36 mature New Zealand White rabbits, of which 24 underwent FBB procedures using allogenic iliac crest bone and were randomly divided into rigid fixation (RF) and nonrigid fixation (N-RF) groups, with the remaining divided into 2 control groups: 6 with sham surgery for glenoid defects (GD group) and 6 native glenoids (normal group). In the RF and N-RF groups, 6 rabbits were sacrificed at 6 or 12 weeks postoperatively for radiological and histological analyses of the reconstructed glenoid, and all rabbits in the GD and normal groups were sacrificed at 12 weeks. The radiological glenoid morphology was evaluated via micro-computed tomography. Moreover, the graft-glenoid healing and graft remodeling processes were determined using histological staining. RESULTS At 6 weeks, both the N-RF and RF groups had similarly improved radiological axial radian and en face area of the glenoid compared with the GD group, but the N-RF group showed superiority in restoration of the glenoid radian and area compared with the RF group at 12 weeks, with the native glenoid as the baseline. Histologically, the bone graft in both groups was substantively integrated into the deficient glenoid neck at 6 and 12 weeks, showing similar osseous healing processes at the graft-glenoid junction. Moreover, the bone graft histologically presented similar regenerated vascular density, total graft bone, and integrated graft bone in both groups. In contrast, the N-RF group had a different remodeling profile on radiological and histological analyses regarding regional bone resorption, mineralization, and fibrous tissue replacement during osseointegration. CONCLUSION Compared with rigid fixation, nonrigid fixation resulted in superior reconstructed glenoid morphology radiologically and similar graft-glenoid osseous healing histologically, showing different graft remodeling profiles of regional bone resorption, mineralization, and fibrous tissue replacement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The nonrigid fixation technique can be feasible for FBB procedures to treat glenoid bone loss in anterior shoulder instability. More clinical evidence is required to determine its pros and cons compared with conventional rigid fixation.

[PMID: 36252784 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.09.013] [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: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary purpose was to compare coracoid graft resorption after the Latarjet procedure in patients without preoperative glenoid bone loss vs. those with more than critical glenoid loss. The secondary purposes were to compare the functional outcomes and to investigate the association of graft position, angle of the screws, preoperative glenoid defect, age at surgery, and smoking status with graft resorption. METHODS Sixty consecutive patients with recurrent anterior instability were treated by the Latarjet procedure as the index procedure, irrespective of the glenoid bone loss between 2018 and 2021. Fifty-five patients were evaluated via computed tomography scans after a minimum of 1 year after surgery (range: 1-4 years). Twenty-five patients had no prior glenoid defect (No-defect group), 24 patients had preoperative glenoid defects ≥15% (Critical defect group), and 6 patients had glenoid defects between 5% and 15%. The No-defect group (n = 25) was compared with the Critical defect group (n = 24). Multivariate logistical regression was performed to evaluate the association of independent factors with the grade of resorption for all 55 patients in the cohort. RESULTS Major graft resorption at the level of the superior screw was observed in 72%-84% of patients in the No-defect group (n = 25) and in 75%-83% of patients in the Critical defect group (n = 24) (P = 1, P = 1; no significant difference). No to mild resorption at the level of the inferior screw was observed in 96% of patients in the No-defect group and 100% of patients in the Critical defect group (P = 1; no significant difference). Postoperative Rowe scores (100 [95-100] vs. 100 [95-100]; P = .8) and shoulder subjective value (87 [11] vs. 86 [9]; P = .9) were not significantly different between the 2 groups. None of the independent factors, including the corresponding screw angle, the mediolateral graft positioning, prior glenoid defect, age, and smoking status, were associated with graft resorption in multivariate logistical regression. CONCLUSIONS Graft resorption after the Latarjet procedure does not depend on the preoperative glenoid defect. The coracoid graft may be mostly resorbed around the superior screw but mildly or none at the level of the inferior screw, but this graft resorption is not dependent on the smoking status, age, prior glenoid defect, mediolateral graft positioning, and the angle of the screws.

Abstract
The Latarjet procedure is the most popular surgical procedure to treat anterior glenohumeral (GH) instability in the presence of large anterior glenoid bone defects. Even though the placement of the bone graft has a considerable influence on its efficacy, no clear indications exist for the best graft position. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft on the contact mechanics and GH stability due to the bone block effect. Four finite element (FE) models of a GH joint, with a 20% glenoid bone defect, treated by the Latarjet procedure were developed. The FE models differed in the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft, ranging from a flush position to a 4.5 mm lateral position with respect to the flush position. All graft placement options were evaluated for two separate shoulder positions. Anterior GH instability was simulated by translating the humeral head in the anterior direction, under a permanent compressive force, until the peak translation force was reached. Joint stability was computed as the ratio between the shear and the compressive components of the force. The lateralization of the bone graft increased GH stability due to the bone block effect after a 3 mm lateralization with respect to the flush position. The increase in GH stability was associated with a concerning increase in peak contact pressure due to the incongruous contact between the articulating surfaces. The sensitivity of the contact pressures to the medial-lateral positioning of the bone graft suggests a trade-off between GH stability due to the bone block effect and the risk of osteoarthritis, especially considering that an accurate and consistent placement of the bone graft is difficult in vivo.

Abstract
Dynamic anterior stabilization using the long head of the biceps tendon is a recently described technique in the management of recurrent shoulder dislocation with subcritical bone loss. This technique involves the transfer of the long head of the biceps to the glenoid, providing sling and hammock effect. The long head of the biceps (LHB) tendon fixation can be accomplished with a variety of implants. We present a modified fixation technique of LHB tendon using transosseous bone tunnel with the adjustable loop length cortical button, incorporating high-strength suture augmentation device in a patient with recurrent glenohumeral instability with limited glenoid bone loss and an engaging Hill-Sachs defect in the humeral head.

Abstract
Background We created patient-based 3D finite-element (FE) models that simulate the congruent-arc Latarjet (CAL) and traditional Latarjet (TL) procedures and then compared their stress distribution patterns with different arm positions and glenoid defects. Methods The computed tomography data of 10 adult patients (9 men and 1 woman, ages: 18–50 years) were used to develop the 3D FE glenohumeral joint models. Twenty-five and 35% bony defects were created on the anterior glenoid rim, and the coracoid process was transferred flush with the glenoid by the traditional and congruent-arc techniques using two half-threaded screws. A load was applied to the greater tuberosity toward the center of the glenoid, and a tensile force (20 N) was applied to the coracoid tip along the direction of the conjoint tendon. The distribution patterns of the von Mises stress in the traditional and congruent-arc Latarjet techniques were compared. Results The mean von Mises on the graft was significantly greater for the TL technique than for the CAL. While the von Mises stress was greater in the distal medial part of the graft in the TL models, a higher stress concentration was observed in the distal lateral edge of the coracoid graft in the CAL models. The proximal medial part of the graft exhibited significantly lower von Mises stress than the distal medial part when compared according to technique, defect size, and arm position. Increasing the glenoid defect from 25 to 35% resulted in a significant increase in stress on the lateral side of the graft in both models. Conclusion The stress distribution patterns and stress magnitude of the coracoid grafts differed according to the procedure. Due to placing less stress on the proximal–medial part of the graft, the CAL technique may lead to insufficient stimulation for bone formation at the graft–glenoid interface, resulting in a higher incidence of graft osteolysis. Clinical relevance The CAL technique may lead to a higher incidence of graft osteolysis. Level of evidence Basic Science Study; Computer Modeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: With the increasing aging of population, the incidence rate of diseases such as fracture and osteoporosis has been increasing. The demand for implant in Department of orthopedics has increased. The elastic modulus of the existing solid metal implant is much higher than that of human bone tissue, and it is easy to produce stress shielding effect after operation, which causes complications such as loosening of prosthesis and low fusion efficiency. OBJECTIVE: In order to solve the mismatch of elastic modulus between solid metal orthopedic implants and human bone tissue, metal structures with excellent mechanical properties were prepared. METHODS: The porous structure was designed by spatial dot matrix method, and the metal porous structure was prepared based on selective laser melting 3D printing technology. The residual stress in the preparation process was eliminated by vacuum annealing heat treatment, and the static compression experiment was carried out to study the effects of different pore shape and porosity parameters on the compressive yield strength and elastic modulus of porous structure. The performance changes of porous structure before and after heat treatment were compared, and the porous structure meeting the performance requirements of human bone tissue was selected. RESULTS: The porous structure prepared by selective laser melting technology met the requirements of human bone tissue. The elastic modulus was as low as 0.74 GPa and the compressive yield strength is 201.91 MPa; After annealing heat treatment, the compressive yield strength of porous structure decreased, the maximum change was 3.69%, the elastic modulus increased, and the maximum change was 8.69%. CONCLUSIONS: For the porous structure with the same pore shape, the lower the porosity, the better the mechanical properties of the porous structure. For the same porosity, the comprehensive mechanical properties of dodecahedral porous structure were the best and octahedral porous structure was the worst; The porous structure after annealing heat treatment was more conducive to meet the performance requirements of human bone tissue.

Abstract
The optimal treatment for recurrent glenohumeral instability is a subject under debate. The recently described arthroscopic technique for dynamic anterior stabilization (DAS) fills the treatment indication gap between reconstructive bony procedures and soft tissue stabilization. However, indications for DAS are considered limited or not appropriate for patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations caused by severe bone defects. In this Technical Note, we present a modified all-arthroscopic DAS technique with added infraspinatus and posterior capsule remplissage to correct the extra-articular Hill-Sachs defect in a patient with recurrent dislocations and off-track bony lesions. The patient requested an alternative treatment option, other than the complication-prone Latarjet procedure.

Intra-articular biomechanical environment following modified Bristow and Latarjet procedures in shoulders with large glenoid defects: relationship with postoperative complications. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:2260-2269. [PMID: 33711500 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2021.02.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although coracoid transfers including the modified Bristow and Latarjet procedures are widely used to treat anterior shoulder instability, the influence of the choice of procedure on the biomechanical outcomes is not well characterized. We aimed to clarify the intra-articular stress distribution following these 2 procedures using 3-dimensional finite-element analysis and to investigate the role of stress distribution in the pathophysiology of postoperative complications. METHODS Overall, 6 male patients aged 17-47 years with unilateral anterior shoulder instability were recruited. Computed tomographic digital imaging and communications in medicine (CT-DICOM) data of the contralateral (healthy) shoulder of each patient was obtained and used for developing the 3-dimensional normal glenohumeral joint model. A 25% bony defect was created in the anterior glenoid rim where the coracoid process was transferred in the standing and lying-down positions to create the Bristow and Latarjet models, respectively. The arm position was set as 0° or 90° abduction. The Young moduli of the humerus and scapula were calculated using CT data, and set as 35.0 MPa and 113.8 GPa for the articular cartilage and inserted screw, respectively. A compressive load (50 N) was applied to the greater tuberosity toward the center of the glenoid, and a tensile load (20 N) was applied to the tip of the coracoid in the direction of conjoint tendon. Elastic analysis was used to determine the equivalent stress distribution. RESULTS A significant reduction in mean equivalent stress was observed within the glenoid cartilage for both models (P = .031); however, a new stress concentration appeared within the grafted coracoid-facing region of the humeral-head cartilage in both models. The proximal half of the coracoid graft exhibited lower equivalent stress than the distal half in 5 of the 6 Latarjet models, whereas the proximal half showed higher equivalent stress than the distal half in all 6 Bristow models. High stress concentration was identified at the midpoint of the inserted screw in Bristow models. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Intra-articular stress distribution may explain the different rates of postoperative complications associated with the modified Bristow and Latarjet procedures. New stress concentration within the humeral-head cartilage might contribute to the development of glenohumeral osteoarthritis following both procedures. Stress shielding in the proximal part of the coracoid graft might contribute to osteolysis following the Latarjet procedure. Surgeons should be aware of the risk of breakage of the inserted screw following the modified Bristow procedure.
