Zhang W, Wu X, Chen H, Bai J, Long L, Xue D. Regional distribution prevalence of heterotopic ossification in the elbow joint: a 3D study of patients after surgery for traumatic elbow injury. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:948-958. [PMID: 38182024 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after elbow fracture surgery and can lead to severe upper extremity disability. The radiographic localization of postoperative HO has been reported previously. However, there is no literature examining the distribution of postoperative HO at the three-dimensional (3D) level. This study aimed to investigate 1) the distribution characteristics of postoperative HO and 2) the possible risk factors affecting the severity of postoperative HO at a 3D level. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of patients who presented to our institution with HO secondary to elbow fracture between 13 January 2020 and 16 February 2023. Computed tomography scans of 56 elbows before elbow release surgery were reconstructed in 3D. HO was identified using density thresholds combined with manual identification and segmentation. The elbow joint and HO were divided into six regions according to three planes: the transepicondylar plane, the lateral ridge of the trochlear plane, and the radiocapitellar joint and coronoid facet plane. The differences in the volume of regional HO associated with different initial injuries were analyzed. RESULTS Postoperative HO was predominantly present in the medial aspect of the capsule in 52 patients (93%), in the lateral aspect of the capsule in 45 patients (80%), in the medial supracondylar in 32 patients (57%), and in the lateral supracondylar, radial head, and ulnar region in the same number of 28 patients (50%). The median and interquartile range volume of total postoperative HO was 1683 (777-4894) mm3. The median and interquartile range volume of regional postoperative HO were: 584 (121-1454) mm3 at medial aspect of capsule, 207 (5-568) mm3 at lateral aspect of capsule, 25 (0-449) mm3 at medial supracondylar, 1 (0-288) at lateral supracondylar, 2 (0-478) at proximal radius and 7 (0-203) mm3 at the proximal ulna. In the subgroups with Injury Severity Score > or = 16, Gustilo-Anderson II, normal uric acid levels, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and body mass index > or = 24, the median HO volume exceeds that of the respective control groups. CONCLUSION The medial aspect of the capsule was the area with the highest frequency and median volume of postoperative HO among all initial elbow injury types. Patients with higher Gustilo-Anderson grade, Injury Severity Score, alkaline phosphatase or Body Mass Index had higher median volume of postoperative HO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent and debilitating complication of traumatic musculoskeletal injuries and orthopedic procedures. Prophylactic dosing of botulinum toxin type A (BTxA) holds potential as a novel treatment option if accurately distributed throughout soft-tissue volumes where protection is clinically desired. We developed a high-resolution, microcomputed tomography (microCT)-based imaging strategy to assess drug distribution and validated this platform by quantifying distribution achieved via a prototype delivery system versus a single-bolus injection. METHODS We injected an iodine-containing contrast agent (iodixanol 320 mg I/mL) into dissected rabbit musculature followed by microCT imaging and analysis. To contrast the performance of distributed versus bolus injections, a three-dimensional (3D) 64-cm3-printed soft-tissue holder was developed. A centered 2-cm3 volume of interest (VOI) was targeted with a single-bolus injection or an equal volume distributed injection delivered via a 3D-printed prototype. VOI drug coverage was quantified as a percentage of the VOI volume that was < 1.0 mm from the injected fluid. RESULTS The microCT-based approach enabled high-resolution quantification of injection distribution within soft tissue. The distributed dosing prototype provided significantly greater tissue coverage of the targeted VOI (72 ± 3%, mean ± standard deviation) when compared to an equal volume bolus dose (43 ± 5%, p = 0.031) while also enhancing the precision of injection targeting. CONCLUSIONS A microCT-based imaging technique precisely quantifies drug distribution within a soft-tissue VOI, providing a path to overcome a barrier for clinical translation of prophylactic inhibition of HO by BTxA. RELEVANCE STATEMENT This platform will facilitate rapid optimization of injection parameters for clinical devices used to effectively and safely inhibit the formation of heterotopic ossification. KEY POINTS • MicroCT provides high-resolution quantification of soft-tissue drug distribution. • Distributed dosing is required to maximize soft-tissue drug coverage. • Imaging platform will enable rapid screening of 3D-printed drug distribution prototypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To systematically investigate if aspirin (ASA), used as venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis, plays a role in the prevention of heterotopic ossification (HO) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and if ASA dosage impacted the rate of HO. METHODS Eligible studies published from January 2000 to July 2022 were identified from the computerized searching of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. HO was defined according to Brooker Classification. Pooled risk ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated under a random-effect model. Additionally, combined HO incidences were compared according to ASA dosage (a regular dose of 325 bid vs. a low dose of 81 mg bid/162 mg qd). RESULTS Thirteen studies were included. ASA administered for VTE prophylaxis was significantly associated with a reduced risk of all-grade HO following THA (univariate, OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.34-0.74, P < 0.001; multivariate, OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.49-0.73, P < 0.001). Similar results could be observed for high-grade HO (univariate, OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.36-0.89, P = 0.015; multivariate, OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.27-0.92, P = 0.026). There was a non-significant trend towards a higher incidence of HO formation for low-dose ASA (31%, 95% CI: 29-34%), compared with regular-dose ASA (21%, 95% CI: 11-33%) (P = 0.069 under test of interaction). CONCLUSIONS ASA can be an effective option for HO prophylaxis. More well-designed trials with long-term follow-ups are encouraged to confirm the current findings and to investigate the effect of ASA dosage on HO reduction.

Abstract
CASE A 30-year-old woman presented with a transverse plus posterior wall acetabular fracture and underwent operative fixation through a Kocher-Langenbeck approach. Shared decision was made for no heterotopic ossification (HO) prophylaxis. The patient developed symptomatic HO and was scheduled for resection, which was delayed because of the pandemic. She returned with interval remodeling of HO and symptom resolution. No surgery was required. CONCLUSION HO is a common complication after acetabular injury. Resection is the treatment of choice for symptomatic HO. We are not aware of other reports of spontaneous remodeling of symptomatic HO such that it no longer required surgery.

Ethyl caffeate inhibits macrophage polarization via SIRT1/NF-κB to attenuate traumatic heterotopic ossification in mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114508.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) denotes the presence of mature bone tissue in soft tissues or around joints. Inflammation is a key driver of traumatic HO, and macrophages play an important role in this process. Ethyl caffeate (ECF), a critical active compound found in Petunia, exerts significant anti-inflammatory effects. Herein, we established a mouse model of HO by transection of the Achilles tendon and back burn and found abundant macrophage infiltration in the early stage of HO, which decreased with time. In vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that ECF inhibited macrophage polarization, and mechanistic studies showed that it inhibited the SIRT1/NF-κB signalling pathway, thereby suppressing the release of downstream inflammatory cytokines. ECF reduced HO in mice, and its effect was comparable to indomethacin (INDO). In vitro studies revealed that ECF did not directly affect the mineralization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or osteogenic differentiation but inhibited these processes by reducing the level of inflammatory cytokines in the conditioned medium (CM). Thus, M1 macrophages may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of HO, and ECF is a prospective candidate for the prevention of trauma-induced HO. DATA AVAILABILITY: Data will be made available on request.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after surgical fixation of acetabular fractures. Numerous strategies have been employed to prevent HO formation, but results are mixed and optimal treatment strategy remains controversial. The purpose of the study was to describe current national heterotopic ossification (HO) prophylaxis patterns among academic trauma centers, determine the association between prophylaxis type and radiographic HO, and identify if heterogeneity in treatment effects exist based on outcome risk strata. METHODS We used data from a subset of participants enrolled in the Pragmatic Randomized Trial Evaluating Pre-Operative Alcohol Skin Solutions in Fractured Extremities (PREPARE) trial. We included only patients with closed AO-type 62 acetabular fractures that were surgically treated via a posterior (Kocher-Langenbeck), combined anterior and posterior, or extensile exposure. PREPARE Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03523962 Patient population This cohort study was nested within the Pragmatic Randomized Trial Evaluating Pre-Operative Alcohol Skin Solutions in Fractured Extremities (PREPARE) trial. The PREPARE trial is a multicenter cluster-randomized crossover trial evaluating the effectiveness of two alcohol-based pre-operative antiseptic skin solutions. All PREPARE trial clinical centers that enrolled at least one patient with a closed AO-type 62 acetabular fracture were invited to participate in the nested study. RESULTS 277 patients from 20 level 1 and level 2 trauma centers in the U.S. and Canada were included in this study. 32 patients (12%) received indomethacin prophylaxis, 100 patients (36%) received XRT prophylaxis, and 145 patients (52%) received no prophylaxis. Administration of XRT was associated with a 68% reduction in the adjusted odds of overall HO (OR 0.32, 95% CI, 0.14 - 0.69, p = 0.005). The overall severe HO (Brooker classes III or IV) rate was 8% for the entire cohort; XRT reduced the rate of severe HO in high-risk patients only (p=0.03). CONCLUSION HO prophylaxis patterns after surgical fixation of acetabular fractures have changed dramatically over the last two decades. Most centers included in this study did not administer HO prophylaxis. XRT was associated with a marked reduction in the rate of overall HO and the rate of severe HO in high-risk patients. Randomized trials are needed to fully elucidate the potential benefit of XRT. PREPARE Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03523962.

Abstract
PURPOSE The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons does not currently provide clinical practice guidelines for management of PAF. Accordingly, this article aims to review and consolidate the relevant historical and recent literature in important topics pertaining to perioperative management of PAF. METHODS A thorough literature review using PubMed, Cochrane and Embase databases was performed to assess preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management of PAF fracture. Topics reviewed included: time from injury to definitive fixation, the role of inferior vena cava filters (IVCF), tranexamic acid (TXA) use, intraopoperative cell salvage, incisional negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), intraoperative antibiotic powder use, heterotopic ossification prophylaxis, and pre- and postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis. RESULTS A total of 126 articles pertaining to the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management of PAF were reviewed. Articles reviewed by topic include 13 articles pertaining to time to fixation, 23 on IVCF use, 14 on VTE prophylaxis, 20 on TXA use, 10 on cell salvage, 10 on iNPWT 14 on intraoperative antibiotic powder and 20 on HO prophylaxis. An additional eight articles were reviewed to describe background information. Five articles provided information for two or more treatment modalities and were therefore included in multiple categories when tabulating the number of articles reviewed per topic. CONCLUSION The literature supports the use of radiation therapy for HO prophylaxis, early (< 5 days from injury) surgical intervention and the routine use of intraoperative TXA. The literature does not support the routine use of iNPWT or IVCF. There is inadequate information to make a recommendation regarding the use of cell salvage and wound infiltration with antibiotic powder. While the routine use of chemical VTE prophylaxis is recommended, there is insufficient evidence to recommend the optimal agent and duration of therapy.

Abstract
Objectives Fracture is a common injury after a traumatic event. The efficacy and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat acute pain related to fractures is not well established. Methods Clinically relevant questions were determined regarding NSAID use in the setting of trauma-induced fractures with clearly defined patient populations, interventions, comparisons and appropriately selected outcomes (PICO). These questions centered around efficacy (pain control, reduction in opioid use) and safety (non-union, kidney injury). A systematic review including literature search and meta-analysis was performed, and the quality of evidence was graded per the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. The working group reached consensus on the final evidence-based recommendations. Results A total of 19 studies were identified for analysis. Not all outcomes identified as critically important were reported in all studies, and the outcome of pain control was too heterogenous to perform a meta-analysis. Nine studies reported on non-union (three randomized control trials), six of which reported no association with NSAIDs. The overall incidence of non-union in patients receiving NSAIDs compared with patients not receiving NSAIDs was 2.99% and 2.19% (p=0.04), respectively. Of studies reporting on pain control and reduction of opioids, the use of NSAIDs reduced pain and the need for opioids after traumatic fracture. One study reported on the outcome of acute kidney injury and found no association with NSAID use. Conclusions In patients with traumatic fractures, NSAIDs appear to reduce post-trauma pain, reduce the need for opioids and have a small effect on non-union. We conditionally recommend the use of NSAIDs in patients suffering from traumatic fractures as the benefit appears to outweigh the small potential risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle injury and concomitant bone injury are important drivers to induce heterotopic ossification (HO). However, the related roles of muscle and concomitant bone injury in HO formation are still unclear. This study aims to develop a mouse model through the combination of hindlimb amputation (Am) and cardiotoxin (CTX) injection to investigate the mechanism of HO formation. METHOD The mice were randomly divided into Am group (Am of right hindlimb, n = 12), CTX group (CTX injection in the calf muscle of left hindlimb, n = 12) and Am + CTX group (the combination of Am of right hindlimb and CTX injection of left hindlimb, n = 18). MicroCT was used to evaluate the incidence of HO. Histology was used to investigate the progression of HO. RESULTS The MicroCT showed that only Am or CTX injection failed to induce HO while the combination of Am and CTX injection successfully induced HO. The incidence of HO was significant in Am + CTX group on day 7 (0% vs 0% vs 83.3%, p = 0.001) and day 14 (0% vs 0% vs 83.3%, p = 0.048). HO was located on the left hindlimb where CTX was injected. Moreover, the bone volume and bone density on day 14 were higher than those on day 7 in Am + CTX group. Histology revealed the evidence of calcification and expression of osteogenic markers in calcification sites in Am + CTX group. CONCLUSION In summary, the combination of Am and CTX injection could successfully induce dystrophic calcification/HO, which occurs in the location of muscle injury.

Abstract
Background Extensive patellar tendon ossification is very uncommon and requires surgical intervention when ossification significantly affects knee function. While various approaches and grafts are available for reconstructing ruptured patellar tendons, there is a paucity of literature regarding the management of joint ankylosis due to severely ossified patellar tendons. Case Presentation This is a case involving an extensively ossified patellar tendon after patellar and tibial tuberosity fracture fixation. Reconstruction of the patellar tendon was performed using ipsilateral semitendinosus and gracilis autografts. At the latest follow‐up of 12 months, the patient achieved knee flexion up to 120° with a slight extension lag and resumed daily activities. Conclusions Autograft hamstring reconstruction of the patellar tendon is suitable for extensive heterotopic ossification of the patellar tendon, resulting in significant improvement in postoperative knee function. Similar patients may be referred for this reconstruction technique.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of ectopic bone that is primarily genetically driven (fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva [FOP]) or acquired in the setting of trauma (tHO). HO has undergone intense investigation, especially over the last 50 years, as awareness has increased around improving clinical technologies and incidence, such as with ongoing wartime conflicts. Current treatments for tHO and FOP remain prophylactic and include NSAIDs and glucocorticoids, respectively, whereas other proposed therapeutic modalities exhibit prohibitive risk profiles. Contemporary studies have elucidated mechanisms behind tHO and FOP and have described new distinct niches independent of inflammation that regulate ectopic bone formation. These investigations have propagated a paradigm shift in the approach to treatment and management of a historically difficult surgical problem, with ongoing clinical trials and promising new targets.

Abstract
ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática e meta-análise de estudos clínicos randomizados (ECRs) relevantes para determinar o papel do ibuprofeno, sua dose ideal, e a duração do tratamento na prevenção de ossificação heterotópica (OH) após a artroplastia total primária do quadril (ATQ). Uma pesquisa bibliográfica foi feita nos bancos de dados PubMed/MEDLINE e Cochrane Library para a obtenção de ECRs que comparassem o uso de ibuprofeno e de placebo como profilaxia para OH em pacientes submetidos à ATQ. Os principais desfechos deste estudo foram ocorrência geral de OH, classificação de Brooker da OH, e complicações gastrintestinais. No total, 27 artigos foram identificados nos bancos de dados e 4 estudos, com 1.153 pacientes, foram incluídos na análise final. Em comparação ao placebo, o uso de ibuprofeno reduziu a incidência de OH aos 3 e 12 meses de acompanhamento e a incidência de OH Brooker II e III (p < 0,05). No entanto, não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos que receberam ibuprofeno e placebo em termos de interrupção do tratamento devido a complicações gastrintestinais ou da incidência de OH Brooker I e IV (p > 0,05). Os dados existentes indicam que o ibuprofeno é seguro e eficaz na redução da incidência total de OH e de OH Brooker II e III durante o acompanhamento. No entanto, as conclusões são limitadas devido ao pequeno número de estudos; logo, mais estudos clínicos de alta qualidade são necessários para o desenvolvimento de diretrizes em relação à dose e duração ideal da terapia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. Although they are safe and effective means of analgesia for children with broken bones, there is considerable variation in their clinical use due to persistent concerns about their potentially adverse effect on fracture healing.
AIM To assess whether NSAID exposure is a risk factor for fracture nonunion in children.
METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature reporting the effect of NSAIDs on bone healing. We included all clinical studies that reported on adverse bone healing complications in children with respect to NSAID exposure. The outcomes of interest were delayed union or nonunion. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for non-randomized studies. A final table was constructed summarizing the available evidence.
RESULTS A total of 120 articles were identified and screened, of which 6 articles were included for final review. Nonunion in children is extremely rare; among the studies included, there were 2011 nonunions among 238822 fractures (0.84%). None of the included studies documented an increased risk of nonunion or delayed bone healing in those children who are treated with NSAIDs in the immediate post-injury or peri-operative time period. Additionally, children are likely to take these medications for only a few days after injury or surgery, further decreasing their risk of adverse side-effects.
CONCLUSION This systematic review suggests that NSAIDS can be safely prescribed to pediatric orthopaedic patients absent other contraindications without concern for increased risk of fracture non-union or delayed bone healing. Additional prospective studies are needed focusing on higher risk fractures and elective orthopaedic procedures such as osteotomies and spinal fusion.

Abstract
Due to their superior mechanical and chemical properties, titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used as orthopedic implantable devices. However, their bioinertness represents a limitation, which can be overcome by employing various surface modifications, such as TiO2 nanotube (TNT) fabrication via electrochemical anodization. Anodic TNTs present tunable dimensions and unique structures, turning them into feasible drug delivery platforms. In the present work, TNTs were loaded with icariin (Ica) through an adhesive intermediate layer of polydopamine (DP), and their in vitro and in vivo biological performance was evaluated. The successful fabrication of the modified surfaces was verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and contact angle measurements (CA), while the in vitro release of Ica was evaluated via UV-VIS spectrophotometry. In terms of in vitro behaviour, comparative studies on RAW 264.7 macrophages demonstrated that the TNT substrates, especially TNT-DP-Ica, elicited a lower inflammatory response compared to the Ti support. Moreover, the in vivo implantation studies evinced generation of a reduced fibrotic capsule around this implant and increased thickness of the newly formed bone tissue at 1 month and 3 months post-implantation, respectively. Overall, our results indicate that the controlled release of Ica from TNT surfaces could result in an improved osseointegration process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and evaluate the research progress of traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO). METHODS The domestic and foreign related research literature on traumatic HO was widely consulted, and its etiology, pathogenesis, pathological progress, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment were summarized. RESULTS Traumatic HO is often caused by severe trauma such as joint operation, explosion injury, nerve injury, and burn. At present, it is widely believed that the occurrence of traumatic HO is closely related to inflammation and hypoxia. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery are the main methods to prevent and treat traumatic HO. CONCLUSION Nowadays, the pathogenesis of traumatic HO is still unclear, the efficiency of relevant prevention and treatment measures is low, and there is a lack of specific treatment method. In the future, it is necessary to further study the pathogenesis of traumatic HO and find specific prevention and treatment targets.

The effect of NSAIDs on postfracture bone healing: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. OTA Int 2021; 4:e092.

Abstract
To determine whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have an adverse effect on bone healing by evaluating all available human randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this subject. Data Sources A comprehensive search of electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cross-References) until October 2018 comparing the occurrence of nonunion in patients who received NSAIDs to the control group through RCTs. Study Selection Inclusion criteria were English-only studies, and the type of studies was restricted to RCTs. Data Extraction Two authors independently extracted data from the selected studies, and the data collected were compared to verify agreement. Data Synthesis Nonunion was the main outcome evaluated in each study. Regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risk comparing the duration and the type of NSAIDs by calculating the odds ratio (OR) for dichotomous variables. Studies were weighed by the inverse of the variance of the outcome, and a fixed-effects model was used for all analyses. Conclusions Six RCTs (609 patients) were included. The risk of nonunion was higher in the patients who were given NSAIDs after the fracture with an OR of 3.47. However, once the studies were categorized into the duration of treatment with NSAIDs, those who received NSAIDs for a short period (<2 weeks) did not show any significant risk of nonunion compared to those who received NSAIDs for a long period (>4 weeks). Indomethacin was associated with a significant higher nonunion rate and OR ranging from 1.66 to 9.03 compared with other NSAIDs that did not show a significant nonunion risk.

Abstract
Objective: Heterotopic ossification is defined as the formation of trabecular bone in soft tissues. It is a common complication after surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. However, its prophylaxis and treatment are still controversial. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of actions to prevent the development of heterotopic ossification after surgical correction of acetabular fractures. Methods: A systematic review was carried out with research in the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS and Cochrane until August 4, 2020, without restrictions on language and year of publication. Only randomized clinical studies carried out in humans without restrictions based on the dosage of treatments, use and duration of prophylaxis were included in this review. Results: Two studies compared the use of radiotherapy and indomethacin and three compared the use of indomethacin with a placebo or non-indomethacin group. The meta-analysis calculations did not indicate statistical differences between radiotherapy versus indomethacin (RR 1.45, IC 95% 0.97 to 2.17, p = 0,55) and indomethacin versus placebo or not indomethacin (RR 0.85, IC 95% 0.68 to 1.06, p = 0,59). Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to affirm that the use of radiotherapy or indomethacin are effective to prevent the formation of heterotopic ossification after surgery for fractures of the acetabulum. In addition, the number of complications was higher in the indomethacin group when compared to placebo or no intervention. Level of Evidence I, Systematic Review.

Abstract
Posterior wall acetabulum fractures typically result from high-energy mechanisms and can be associated with various orthopaedic and nonorthopaedic injuries. They range from isolated simple patterns to multifragmentary with or without marginal impaction. Determination of hip stability, which can depend on fragment location, size, and displacement, directs management. Although important in the assessment of posterior wall fractures, CT is unreliable when used to determine stability. The dynamic fluoroscopic examination under anesthesia (EUA) is the benchmark in assessment of hip stability, and fractures deemed stable by EUA have good radiographic and functional outcomes. In fractures that meet surgical criteria, accurate joint reduction guides outcomes. Joint débridement, identification and elevation of impaction, and adjunctive fixation of posterosuperior and peripheral rim fragments along with standard buttress plate fixation are critical. Complications of the fracture and surgical fixation include sciatic nerve injury, posttraumatic osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and heterotopic ossification. Although accuracy of joint reduction is paramount for successful results, other factors out of the surgeon's control such as comminution, femoral head lesions, and dislocation contribute to poor outcomes. Even with anatomic restoration of the joint surface, good clinical outcomes are not guaranteed and residual functional deficits can be expected.

Abstract
Purpose We evaluate the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) development with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prophylaxis in patients after open and arthroscopic hip preservation surgery. Methods A retrospective review identified patients who underwent hip preservation surgery at a single institution within the past 3 years. Patients who underwent hip arthroscopy with or without periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) or femoral osteotomy (FO) were included. Those who did not receive 3-month postoperative radiographs were excluded. The incidence and Brooker classification (BC) of HO in patients taking Naproxen or another NSAID (meloxicam, celecoxib, indomethacin, or aspirin alone) was assessed using AP radiographs available from 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up appointments. Univariate analysis was conducted to compare numerical means and categorical data (significance level P = .05). Results A total of 328 hips (284 patients) were included. All patients received hip arthroscopy, while 71 patients (21.6%) received concurrent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO; n = 65) or femoral osteotomy (FO; n = 6). Overall, 276 hips (84.4%) received Naproxen for HO prophylaxis. In total, 5 of 328 hips (1.5%) developed HO (4, BC I; 1, BC III). The rate of HO development was significantly higher in males versus females (4 of 121 (3.31%) vs 1 of 207 (.48%), P = .0441). All 5 patients received arthroscopic cam resection and labral repair, and 1 patient also received PAO. Three patients in the Naproxen group (.91%) developed HO, which was not statistically different from those taking a different NSAID (.61%, P = .1797). Conclusion The incidence of HO development was low with NSAID prophylaxis after hip preservation surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare rates of heterotopic ossification (HO) after acetabular fracture surgery, through a posterior approach, with and without gluteus minimus muscle (GMM) debridement. DESIGN Retrospective comparative study. SETTING Single academic Level I trauma center. PATIENTS Ninety-four patients in the GMM preserved group and 42 patients in the GMM debrided group met inclusion criteria. INTERVENTION GMM preservation or debridement during acetabular fracture surgery through a single-posterior approach. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Primary outcomes were incidence and severity of HO. Reoperation for HO excision was assessed. Other risk factors for severe HO (Brooker class III-IV) were secondarily assessed using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The significance was set at P-value ≤ 0.05. RESULTS There was no difference in the incidence or severity of HO between the debrided and preserved groups. Rates of reoperation for HO excision were comparable. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class (OR = 3.3), head injury (OR = 4.6), and abdominal injury (OR = 4.5) were associated with severe HO. CONCLUSION GMM debridement was not associated with a decreased incidence of HO after acetabular fracture surgery. American Society of Anesthesiologists class is a novel risk factor associated with severe HO formation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used for postoperative pain management. However, animal studies have demonstrated negative effects of NSAIDs on bone and tendon healing after commonly performed procedures such as rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of postoperative NSAID use on opioid use, pain control, and shoulder outcomes after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of postoperative NSAID use was performed in patients undergoing primary arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery at a single institution. Patients were randomized to receive ibuprofen or placebo for 2 weeks postoperatively, in addition to opioid medication. They were instructed to keep a daily pain diary for the first week after surgery, which was returned at their first postoperative visit for analysis. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, shoulder range of motion, and 12-item Short Form Survey, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores were collected. Assessment of rotator cuff healing was performed using ultrasound at 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS A total of 50 patients in the placebo group and 51 patients in the ibuprofen group were included for analysis. There were no differences in age, race, sex, history of preoperative NSAID or opioid use, or operative findings between groups. The amount of mean total morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) used in the first postoperative week was lower in the ibuprofen group than in the placebo group (168 MMEs vs. 211 MMEs, P = .04). Early VAS scores on postoperative days 3, 4, 5, and 6 were lower in the ibuprofen group, but there was no difference in mean VAS scores between groups by 6 weeks after surgery. At 6 months, mean forward flexion and the mean ASES score were higher in the ibuprofen group than in the placebo group: 162° vs. 153° (P = .03) and 86 vs. 78 (P = .02), respectively. There were no differences in shoulder motion or 12-item Short Form Survey, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand, or ASES scores at 1 year. At 1 year after surgery, 7 patients in the ibuprofen group had evidence of tendon retear diagnosed on ultrasound (5 partial and 2 full thickness) compared with 13 patients in the placebo group (5 partial and 8 full thickness), but this difference was not statistically significant (P = .20). CONCLUSION Postoperative ibuprofen use reduces opioid requirements and decreases patient pain levels in the first week after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. In addition, ibuprofen use after rotator cuff repair does not lead to an increased risk of tendon retear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)/cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors on postoperative fracture-healing are controversial. Thus, we investigated the association between NSAID/COX-2 inhibitor administration and postoperative nonunion or delayed union of fractures. We aimed to determine the effects of NSAID/COX-2 inhibitor administration on postoperative fracture-healing with use of a common data model. METHODS Patients who underwent operative treatment of a fracture between 1998 and 2018 were included. To determine the effects of NSAID/COX-2 inhibitor administration on fracture-healing, postoperative NSAID/COX-2 inhibitor users were compared and 1:1 matched to nonusers, with 3,264 patients matched. The effect of each agent on bone-healing was determined on the basis of the primary outcome (nonunion/delayed union), defined as having a diagnosis code for nonunion or delayed union ≥6 months after surgery. The secondary outcome was reoperation for nonunion/delayed union. To examine the effect of NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors on bone union according to medication duration, a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. RESULTS Of the 8,693 patients who were included in the analysis, 208 had nonunion (178 patients; 2.05%) or delayed union (30 patients; 0.35%). Sixty-four (30.8%) of those 208 patients had a reoperation for nonunion or delayed union. NSAID users showed a significantly lower hazard of nonunion compared with the matched cohort of nonusers (hazard ratio, 0.69 [95% confidence interval, 0.48 to 0.98]; p = 0.040) but did not show a significant difference in the other matched comparison for any other outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed significantly lower and higher nonunion/delayed union rates when the medication durations were ≤3 and >3 weeks, respectively (p = 0.001). For COX-2 inhibitors, the survival curve according to the medication duration showed no significant difference among the groups (p = 0.9). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated no short-term impact of NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors on long-bone fracture-healing. However, continued use of these medications for a period of >3 weeks may be associated with higher rates of nonunion or delayed union. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have excellent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and are extensively used to treat post-traumatic or surgical musculoskeletal pain. Although an extensive literature exists on the administration of NSAID on animal bone healing, no systematic review and meta-analysis of animal studies that investigate the effect of NSAID administration on bone fracture healing. Objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the effect of NSAIDs administration on bone healing biomechanical and histomorphometric measurements in different animal models after bone fracture surgery. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of animal studies to estimate the effect of NSAID administration after bone fracture on healing outcomes. We searched eight databases without limiting the search to starting date up to 1 February 2021 for articles on fractured bone healing in animal models in which NSAID were administered. RESULTS Out of 6732 articles screened, 47 were included and 3 common bone healing outcomes were analysed: biomechanical properties (maximum force to break, stiffness, and work-to-failure), micro-computed tomography (μ-CT), and histomorphometric measurements. The studies were generally of low-quality scores because crucial information, especially concerning randomization, blinding, and allocation concealment, was poorly reported. Our results show that the negative effects of NSAID after bone fracture on certain biomechanical properties of the healing bones was not statistically significant in mice compared with other animals, in females compared with males, and in younger compared with older animals. CONCLUSION The findings demonstrated that NSAIDs administration decreased the biomechanical properties of healing bones after fracture surgery in comparison to the control group. Moreover, different effect on certain outcomes was detected among different sites, sex of the animals, and the time of assessment.

Abstract
A recently published study, "Risk of Nonunion With Nonselective NSAIDs, COX-2 Inhibitors, and Opioids" by George et al (J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2020;102:1230-1238), assesses whether the use of nonselective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) enzyme inhibitors, or opioids was associated with a risk of long bone fracture nonunion in Optum's deidentified private health database. This review analyzes the study, including strengths, weaknesses, and areas for future research. The study found an association between COX-2 inhibitor and opioid use with fracture nonunion but not with nonselective NSAID use. Although the literature on this topic is varied, these results are at least partially aligned with several animal studies that show COX-2 inhibitors to be associated with fracture nonunion. The George et al study design has several important limitations, indicating that further research is needed on this topic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent large series of patient-reported outcomes after acetabulum fracture are limited, and potentially modifiable risk factors may be unidentified. The goal of this study was to describe patient and injury factors which negatively influence functional outcomes following operative management of acetabular fractures. METHODS 699 patients with acetabular fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (MFA) questionnaire was completed after a minimum 12 months post-injury by 283 adults. MFA scores range from 1 to 100 and higher scores represent greater dysfunction. Factors were assessed for potential association with MFA scores, and univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Survey respondents were more severely injured than non-respondents, with more chest injury (38% vs 22%, p<0.001) and higher Injury Severity Score (19.3 vs 16.8, p=0.003). Patients were 69% male with mean age 44.0 years. Approximately one-third were smokers (31%), while 14% had comorbid diabetes mellitus type II. The majority of injuries occurred during a motor vehicle collision (65%); low-energy mechanisms were rare (4.2%). The most common fracture pattern was isolated posterior wall (23%), followed by transverse/posterior wall (21%). Heterotopic ossification (HO) was noted in 22%: Brooker 1: 29.5%, 2: 23.0%, 3: 32.8%, and 4: 14.8%. Tobacco use (β = 18.4, p<0.001), obesity (β = 0.39, p=0.009), diabetes (β = 8.2, p=0.029), post-traumatic arthrosis (PTA) (β = 5.94 p=0.035), and increasing HO severity (β = 8.93, p<0.001) were independently associated with worse MFA scores. Tobacco use had the strongest association, followed by the severity of HO. CONCLUSION In a large series of patient-reported functional outcomes following fixation of acetabular fractures, tobacco use, obesity, comorbid diabetes, PTA, and HO were associated with worse MFA scores. Further study to mitigate HO should be considered. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A cross-sectional analysis of orthopedic trauma randomized controlled trial (RCT) abstracts to assess the frequency and manifestations of spin, the misrepresentation or distortion of research findings, in orthopedic trauma clinical trials. METHODS The top 5 orthopedic trauma journals were searched from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2017. RCTs with nonsignificant endpoints (p > .05) were analyzed for spin in the abstract. The primary endpoint of our investigation was the frequency and type of spin. The secondary endpoint was to assess whether funding source was associated with the presence of spin. Due to the low reporting of funding sources no statistics were able to be computed for this outcome. RESULTS Our PubMed search yielded 517 articles. Primary screening excluded 303 articles, and full text evaluation excluded an additional 161. Overall, 53 articles were included. Spin was identified in 35 of the 53 (66.0%) abstracts analyzed. Evidence of spin was found in 21 (39.6%) abstract results sections and 22 (41.5%) abstract conclusion sections. Of the 21 RCTs reporting a clinical trial registry, 3 (14.3%) had evidence of selective reporting bias. CONCLUSIONS Orthopedic trauma RCTs from highly ranked journals with nonsignificant endpoints published from 2012 to 2017 frequently have spin in their abstracts. Abstracts with evidence of spin may influence a reader's perception of new drugs or procedures. In orthopedic trauma, the implications of spin may affect the treatment of patients with orthopedic trauma, so efforts to mitigate spin in RCT abstracts must be prioritized.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO), and eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy (ERAO) for treating hip dysplasia by comparing complication rates, survivorship, and functional outcomes after treatment. A systematic review in the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases was performed, and studies reporting outcomes after pelvic osteotomy for hip dysplasia with a minimum of 1-year follow-up or reported postoperative complications was included. Patient demographics, radiographic measurements, patient reported outcomes including the modified Harris hip score (mHHS), complications using the modified Clavien-Dindo classification, and reoperations were extracted from each study. A meta-analysis of outcome scores, complications, change in acetabular coverage, and revision rates for the 3 pelvic osteotomies was performed. A total of 47 articles detailing outcomes of 6,107 patients undergoing pelvic osteotomies were included in the final analysis. When stratified by procedure, RAO had a statistically greater change in LCEA when compared to PAO (33.9° vs 18.0°; P <0.001). The average pooled mHHS improvement was 15.6 (95% CI: 8.3–22.8, I2= 99.4%). Although ERAO had higher mean score improvements when compared to RAO and PAO, the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05). Lastly, patients undergoing PAO had a statistically greater complication rate than those undergoing ERAO and RAO (P <0.001 for both), while revision rate was not statistically different between the 3 techniques. In summary, there are many more publications on PAO surgery with a wide range of reported complications. Complications after ERAO and RAO surgery are lower than PAO surgery in the literature, but it is unclear whether this represents an actual difference or a reporting bias. Lastly, there are no significant differences between revisions, or postoperative reported outcomes between the 3 techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the rates of infection and wound complications in patients undergoing operative fixation (ORIF) of acetabular fractures receiving heterotopic ossification (HO) prophylaxis using indomethacin or external beam radiation therapy (XRT) versus no prophylaxis. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS We reviewed 473 patients undergoing ORIF of acetabular fractures through posterior, combined, or extensile surgical approaches from 2012 to 2017, with a median follow-up of 13 months (0.5-77 months). MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT Rates of infection and wound complications were stratified according to their HO prophylaxis method into three groups as indomethacin, XRT, and no prophylaxis. RESULTS Overall, 167 patients (35.3%) received indomethacin, 104 patients (22.0%) received postoperative XRT, and 202 patients (42.7%) received no prophylactic treatment. There was no difference between the 3 groups for the risk of surgical site infection (P = 0.280). The XRT group had a significantly increased risk of noninfectious wound complications (20.2%) compared with the indomethacin group (6.6%, P = 0.002) and the no prophylaxis group (5.0%, P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed XRT remained a significant risk factor for noninfectious wound complications compared with no prophylaxis (odds ratio 5.39; 95% confidence interval 2.37-12.22; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Although there is no difference between XRT, indomethacin, and no HO prophylaxis for the risk of surgical site infection, the use of XRT results in more than 5 times increased risk of noninfectious wound complications compared with no prophylaxis. This increased risk should be considered when contemplating XRT for HO prophylaxis in acetabular fracture patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Hamstring injuries include a wide range of injuries and affect mainly athletes with high eccentric loads (football, athletics, rugby, climbing). According to the latest literature, unrecognized traumatic ruptures can cause permanent discomfort and may be associated with a poorer postoperative outcome when delayed surgical therapy is performed. Heterotopic ossifications (HO) after hamstring rupture have been described in individual case reports and smaller studies so far. Heterotopic ossifications are mainly known in hip surgery and elbow fractures. In this case report, a 48-year-old patient presented with an increasing swelling with hardening in the area of the right ischial tuberosity. One year before, an impact trauma was the reason for a traumatic hamstring rupture which was diagnosed with a delay. The HO was excised and the tendon refixed with two suture anchors. By limiting the range of motion with a hip-knee orthosis for 9 weeks, a regular postoperative healing process was observed. Heterotopic ossifications after hamstring ruptures have been reported repeatedly but have not been evaluated in any major study so far. It should therefore be considered whether prophylaxis with NSAIDs should be used for conservatively and surgically treated hamstring ruptures, analogous to the ossification prophylaxis for hip endoprostheses or fractures in the elbow region.

New knowledge about the molecular biology of fracture-healing provides opportunities for intervention and reduction of risk for specific phases that are affected by disease and medications. Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors can prolong healing, and the informed clinician should optimize each patient to provide the best chance for union. Techniques to monitor progression of fracture-healing have not changed substantially over time; new objective modalities are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has been found to be important for fracture-healing in animal models, raising concerns about use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective COX-2 inhibitors after fractures. We evaluated associations of NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors, and opioids with nonunion after long-bone fracture. METHODS Using private health insurance claims data from Optum's de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart database from January 1, 2000, to September 30, 2015, we identified adults with a single long-bone fracture or commonly paired long-bone fractures who had 1 year of available follow-up data. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we examined associations between NSAID, COX-2-inhibitor, or opioid prescription fills after the fracture and the risk of nonunion within 1 year, defined as a nonunion diagnosis with a procedure to treat the nonunion. RESULTS A nonunion diagnosis with a procedure to treat the nonunion was identified after 2,996 (0.9%) of the 339,864 fracture episodes, with rates varying by fracture site. The risk of that outcome was greater in patients who had filled COX-2-inhibitor prescriptions (adjusted odds ratio = 1.84 [95% confidence interval = 1.38 to 2.46]) or opioid prescriptions (1.69 [1.53 to 1.86]), but not in patients who had filled nonselective-NSAID prescriptions (1.07 [0.93 to 1.23]) after the fracture. Results were similar when the outcome definition was changed to just a nonunion diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS COX-2 inhibitors, but not nonselective NSAIDs, were associated with a greater risk of nonunion after fracture. Opioids were also associated with nonunion risk, although patients filling prescriptions for opioids may have had more severe fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
AIMS Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a potentially devastating complication of the surgical treatment of a proximal humeral fracture. The literature on the rate and risk factors for the development of HO under these circumstances is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for the development of HO in these patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 170 patients who underwent operative treatment for a proximal humeral fracture between 2005 and 2016, in a single institution, was undertaken. The mean follow-up was 18.2 months (1.5 to 140). The presence of HO was identified on follow-up radiographs. RESULTS The incidence of HO was 15% (n = 26). Our multivariate model revealed that male sex (odds ratio (OR) 3.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.30 to 9.80 compared to female) and dislocation as the initial injury (OR 5.01, 95% CI 1.31 to 19.22) were significantly associated with the formation of HO (p < 0.05) while no significant associations were seen for the age of the patient, the characteristics of the injury, or the type of operative treatment. CONCLUSION This retrospective radiological study is the first to investigate the association between the method of surgical treatment for a proximal humeral fracture and the formation of HO postoperatively. We found that male sex and dislocation as the initial injury were risk factors for HO formation, whereas the method of surgical treatment, the age of the patient, and the pattern of the fracture were not predictive of HO formation. While additional studies are needed, these findings can help to identify those at an increased risk for HO formation under these circumstances. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(4):539-544.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ilio-inguinal approach has been considered standard anterior approach for acetabulum fracture fixation. Different modifications of this approach have been described. This study analysed the patients treated using a Combined Anterior Pelvic (CAP) approach - minimal AIP (anterior intra-pelvic) with modified ilio-femoral along with 'anterior superior iliac spine' osteotomy. This combined approach provides wide exposure of pelvis to direct visualise the entire anterior column from sacroiliac joint to pubic symphysis, medial side of quadrilateral plate and entire iliac wing with minimal retraction of soft tissues required. METHODS Data of patients treated from July 2014 to June 2018 for acetabulum fracture using CAP approach was retrieved from hospital record system. Inclusion criteria were - acetabulum fractures treated surgically using CAP approach. Exclusion criteria were - age less than 18 years, associated pelvis ring injury and incomplete peri-operative radiological record (pre-operative/post-operative antero-posterior, 45° obturator and 45° iliac oblique radiographs and pre-operative computed tomographic (CT) scans. 62 patients who met inclusion exclusion criteria were called in out-patient-department for final functional evaluation using Matta modified Merle d'aubigne score. RESULTS Out of 62 patients 47 patients who turned up for final functional evaluation were included in study. 19 patients had excellent, 15 had good, 2 had fair and 11 had poor results. Age less than 40 years, anterior column fracture pattern, Pre-operative fracture displacement >20 mm, fracture comminution and post-operative fracture reduction within 3 mm were the predictors of the functional outcome. When analysed using logistic regression model, post-operative fracture reduction was found to be the only significant predictor of functional outcome. CONCLUSION CAP approach is useful anterior approach to acetabulum. Fracture reduction is the independent predictor of functional outcome. Comparison of this approach with other anterior approaches to acetabulum can be area of further research.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of abnormal mature lamellar bone in extra-skeletal sites, including soft tissues and joints, which result in high rates of disability. The understanding of the mechanism of HO is insufficient. The aim of this study was to explore biomarkers and pathological processes in HO+ samples. The gene expression profile GSE94683 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Sixteen samples from nine HO- and seven HO+ subjects were analyzed. After data preprocessing, 3,529 genes were obtained for weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Highly correlated genes were divided into 13 modules. Finally, the cyan and purple modules were selected for further study. Gene ontology functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment indicated that the cyan module was enriched in a variety of components, including protein binding, membrane, nucleoplasm, cytosol, poly(A) RNA binding, biosynthesis of antibiotics, carbon metabolism, endocytosis, citrate cycle, and metabolic pathways. In addition, the purple module was enriched in cytosol, mitochondrion, protein binding, structural constituent of ribosome, rRNA processing, oxidative phosphorylation, ribosome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Finally, 10 hub genes in the cyan module [actin related protein 3 (ACTR3), ADP ribosylation factor 4 (ARF4), progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), ribosomal protein S23 (RPS23), mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR), WD repeat domain 12 (WDR12), synaptosome associated protein 23 (SNAP23), actin related protein 2 (ACTR2), siah E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SIAH1), and glomulin (GLMN)] and 2 hub genes in the purple module [proteasome 20S subunit alpha 3 (PSMA3) and ribosomal protein S27 like (RPS27L)] were identified. Hub genes were validated through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. In summary, 12 hub genes were identified in two modules that were associated with HO. These hub genes could provide new biomarkers, therapeutic ideas, and targets in HO.

Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) are highly bioactive fatty acids. PGs, especially prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), are abundantly produced by cells of both the bone-forming (osteoblast) lineage and the bone-resorbing (osteoclast) lineage. The inducible cyclooxygenase, COX-2, is largely responsible for most PGE2 production in bone, and once released, PGE2 is rapidly degraded in vivo. COX-2 is induced by multiple agonists - hormones, growth factors, and proinflammatory factors - and the resulting PGE2 may mediate, amplify, or, as we have recently shown for parathyroid hormone (PTH), inhibit responses to these agonists. In vitro, PGE2 can directly stimulate osteoblast differentiation and, indirectly via stimulation of RANKL in osteoblastic cells, stimulate the differentiation of osteoclasts. The net balance of these two effects of PGE2 in vivo on bone formation and bone resorption has been hard to predict and, as expected for such a widespread local factor, hard to study. Some of the complexity of PGE2 actions on bone can be explained by the fact that there are four receptors for PGE2 (EP1-4). Some of the major actions of PGE2 in vitro occur via EP2 and EP4, both of which can stimulate cAMP signaling, but there are other distinct signaling pathways, important in other tissues, which have not yet been fully elucidated in bone cells. Giving PGE2 or agonists of EP2 and EP4 to accelerate bone repair has been examined with positive results. Further studies to clarify the pathways of PGE2 action in bone may allow us to identify new and more effective ways to deliver the therapeutic benefits of PGE2 in skeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a recognized sequela after trauma and arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of celecoxib on HO. We hypothesized that celecoxib may inhibit the progression of initiated HO. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 37 patients who underwent elbow joint surgery between January 2014 and June 2018. Seventeen patients were prescribed orally administered celecoxib (200 mg/dose, twice daily) for 2 months after the diagnosis of HO, whereas the remaining 20 patients were administered celecoxib for 1 month starting immediately after surgery. HO progression was evaluated by plain radiographs. By use of an Achilles tendon puncture-induced HO mouse model, the curative effect of celecoxib was illustrated at different HO progression stages. The mice were assigned to 1 of 4 groups: sham group, vehicle group, group receiving celecoxib on day 1, and group receiving celecoxib in week 6. Achilles tendons were analyzed by micro-computed tomography and histochemistry after 12 weeks. RESULTS Celecoxib did not inhibit the progression of initiated HO in the patients in whom HO was diagnosed, whereas those who received celecoxib after surgery had lower morbidity. Achilles tendon puncture effectively induced typical HO in mice. The ectopic bone volume was significantly reduced in the day 1 celecoxib group compared with the vehicle group; however, the difference was not statistically significant in the week 6 celecoxib group. CONCLUSIONS Administration of celecoxib starting immediately after surgery can significantly inhibit the formation of HO. Once HO is visible on plain radiographs or micro-computed tomography, celecoxib cannot effectively attenuate further progression of HO in humans and mice.

Abstract
Introduction This meta-analysis aims to determine whether non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use is significantly associated with adverse bone healing outcomes within clinical settings, including trauma and elective spine settings. It will also explore bone healing outcomes with the type, route, dosage and duration of NSAID exposure and aims to demonstrate the effects of various other confounding factors on bone healing outcomes. Methods Electronic databases including MedLine, Embase and Cochrane were searched from January 1975 to December 2017. A distinct analysis of observational long bone and spine studies in adult populations was performed, assessing the effects of NSAID exposure on bone healing. Studies from paediatric population and randomised trials also underwent separate assessment in the synthesis. Meta-analysis was conducted in compliance with QUORUM and PRISMA guidelines. Results Quantitative assessment of observational studies suggested a significant risk of bone healing complications with NSAID exposure across each clinical group: long bone (p = 0.0004) and spine (p = 0.02). Analysis of paediatric studies revealed a non-significant association of poor outcomes with NSAID use (p = 0.36), while assessment of randomised trials demonstrated a statistically significant risk of complications following NSAID administration (p = 0.04). Meta-regression further suggested smoking to be a substantial confounder associated with adverse bone healing outcomes (p < 0.00001). Conclusion Inclusion of only fair and moderate-quality retrospective cohort and case–control studies in the current synthesis limits the clinical application of its findings and therefore warrants the need for further research. Thus, attempts to conduct high-quality prospective cohort and randomised trials to study the effects of NSAID use on bone healing would be very helpful and will provide a basis for more extensive research in future.

Abstract
There are number of significant issues outside of the bone and/or fracture that are important to consider in the treatment of orthopaedic trauma. Joint contractures, heterotopic bone formation, managing a traumatized soft-tissue envelope or substantial soft-tissue defects represent a few of these important issues. This article reviews these issues, including the best available evidence on how to manage them.

Abstract
Multiple factors impact fracture healing; thus, endocrine optimization and nutritional optimization warrant investigation in the acute fracture and nonunion patient. This article presents current evidence regarding the role of the endocrinologists and the dietician in the fracture patient as well as the most recent data assessing the vitamin D axis in these populations. Similarly, the most recent information regarding the use and risks of NSAIDs in fracture healing are presented. The fracture surgeon must consider each individual patient and weigh the benefits versus the costs of host optimization.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to produce comprehensive guidelines and recommendations that can be utilized by orthopaedic practices as well as other specialties to improve the management of acute pain following musculoskeletal injury. METHODS A panel of 15 members with expertise in orthopaedic trauma, pain management, or both was convened to review the literature and develop recommendations on acute musculoskeletal pain management. The methods described by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Working Group were applied to each recommendation. The guideline was submitted to the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) for review and was approved on October 16, 2018. RESULTS We present evidence-based best practice recommendations and pain medication recommendations with the hope that they can be utilized by orthopaedic practices as well as other specialties to improve the management of acute pain following musculoskeletal injury. Recommendations are presented regarding pain management, cognitive strategies, physical strategies, strategies for patients on long term opioids at presentation, and system implementation strategies. We recommend the use of multimodal analgesia, prescribing the lowest effective immediate-release opioid for the shortest period possible, and considering regional anesthesia. We also recommend connecting patients to psychosocial interventions as indicated and considering anxiety reduction strategies such as aromatherapy. Finally, we also recommend physical strategies including ice, elevation, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Prescribing for patients on long term opioids at presentation should be limited to one prescriber. Both pain and sedation should be assessed regularly for inpatients with short, validated tools. Finally, the group supports querying the relevant regional and state prescription drug monitoring program, development of clinical decision support, opioid education efforts for prescribers and patients, and implementing a department or organization pain medication prescribing strategy or policy. CONCLUSIONS Balancing comfort and patient safety following acute musculoskeletal injury is possible when utilizing a true multimodal approach including cognitive, physical, and pharmaceutical strategies. In this guideline, we attempt to provide practical, evidence-based guidance for clinicians in both the operative and non-operative settings to address acute pain from musculoskeletal injury. We also organized and graded the evidence to both support recommendations and identify gap areas for future research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION NSAIDs inhibit osteogenesis and may result in delayed union or nonunion. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine whether their use leads to delayed union or nonunion. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature reporting the effect of NSAIDs on bone healing. We included studies of pediatric and adult patients NSAID exposure and healing bone. The outcomes of interest were delayed union, nonunion, or pseudarthrosis with at least six months of follow-up. A maximum likelihood random-effects model was used to conduct meta-analysis and meta-regression. RESULTS NSAID exposure increased delayed union or nonunion (odds ratio [OR], 2.07; confidence interval [CI], 1.19 to 3.61). No effect was noted in pediatrics (OR, 0.58; CI, 0.27 to 1.21) or low dose/short duration of exposure (OR, 1.68; CI, 0.63 to 4.46). CONCLUSION Analysis of the literature indicates a negative effect of NSAIDs on bone healing. In pediatric patients, NSAIDs did not have a significant effect. The effect may be dose or time dependent because low-dose/short-duration exposure did not affect union rates.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a diverse pathologic process, defined as the formation of extraskeletal bone in muscle and soft tissues. HO can be conceptualized as a tissue repair process gone awry and is a common complication of trauma and surgery. This comprehensive review seeks to synthesize the clinical, pathoetiologic, and basic biologic features of HO, including nongenetic and genetic forms. First, the clinical features, radiographic appearance, histopathologic diagnosis, and current methods of treatment are discussed. Next, current concepts regarding the mechanistic bases for HO are discussed, including the putative cell types responsible for HO formation, the inflammatory milieu and other prerequisite “niche” factors for HO initiation and propagation, and currently available animal models for the study of HO of this common and potentially devastating condition. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Trauma-induced heterotopic ossification is an intriguing phenomenon involving the inappropriate ossification of soft tissues within the body such as the muscle and ligaments. This inappropriate formation of bone is highly prevalent in those affected by blast injuries. Here, we developed a simplified cell culture model to evaluate the molecular events involved in heterotopic ossification onset that arise from the shock wave component of the disease. We exposed three subtypes of human mesenchymal cells in vitro to a single, high-energy shock wave and observed increased transcription in the osteogenic master regulators, Runx2 and Dlx5, and significantly accelerated cell mineralisation. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing revealed that the shock wave altered methylation of gene promoters, leading to opposing changes in gene expression. Using a drug to target ITGAV, whose expression was perturbed by the shock wave, we found that we could abrogate the deposition of mineral in our model. These findings show how new therapeutics for the treatment of heterotopic ossification can be identified using cell culture models.

Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-surgical complications against the backdrop of the opioid crisis. BURNS & TRAUMA 2018; 6:25.

Abstract
The USA is currently going through an opioid crisis, associated with tremendous economic and societal impacts. In response to this crisis, healthcare professionals are looking for alternative pain management methods, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a sensible choice because of their effectiveness after surgical procedures. However, before surgeons start prescribing NSAIDs in place of opioids, it is crucial to first understand their potential post-surgical complications. The goal of this review is to summarize the data obtained through both animal and human studies, which suggest how a dramatic increase in NSAID use may affect these post-surgical complications. We first provide a short review outlining the mechanisms of action of NSAIDs, followed by a summary of animal studies, which show a trend towards the negative effects of NSAIDs on wound healing and an association between NSAID use and wound infections. Lastly, we present evidence from human studies on the association of NSAIDs with the following complications: anastomotic leaks, necrotizing soft tissue infections, bleeding complications, orthopedic injuries, wound healing, and cancer care. The human studies are much more variable in their conclusions as to whether NSAIDs are beneficial or not, with the only strong evidence showing that NSAIDs inhibit bone healing. This may partially be explained by male and female differences in response to NSAIDs as many animal studies showing the inhibitory effects of NSAIDs were performed on females, while all the human studies were performed with both sexes. We conclude that strong caution should be used in the prescription of NSAIDs, especially in female patients, but larger scale studies are warranted before solid recommendations can be made.

Abstract
β-Catenin-dependent Wnt signaling controls numerous aspects of skeletal development and postnatal bone repair. Currently available transgenic Wnt reporter mice allow for visualization of global canonical Wnt signaling activity within skeletal tissues, without delineation of cell type. This is particularly important in a bone repair context, in which the inflammatory phase can obscure the visualization of mesenchymal cell types of interest. To tackle the issue of tissue-specific Wnt signaling, we have generated and characterized a transgenic mouse strain [termed paired related homeobox 1 (Prx1)-Wnt-green fluorescent protein (GFP), by crossing a previously validated Prx1-Cre strain with a nuclear fluorescent reporter driven by T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor activity (Rosa26-Tcf/Lef-LSL-H2B-GFP)]. Prx1-Wnt-GFP animals were subject to three models of long bone and membranous bone repair (displaced forelimb fracture, tibial cortical defect, and frontal bone defect). Results showed that, irrespective of bone type, locoregional mesenchymal cell activation of Wnt signaling occurs in a defined temporospatial pattern among Prx1-Wnt-GFP mice. In summary, Prx1-Wnt-GFP reporter animals allow for improved visualization, spatial discrimination, and facile quantification of Wnt-activated mesenchymal cells within models of adult bone repair.

Abstract
Tissue damage following injury triggers the processes of coagulation, inflammation and healing. In tissues surrounding the bone, the result of the healing process is a scar, while bone tissue has a unique ability to achieve shape, strength and pre-injury function. Bone healing is a process of regeneration rather than classic recovery. The result of this process is the formation of new, healthy bone tissue instead of a scar. Many factors can inhibit or impair the bone healing process, and their influence is critical during the stages of inflammation and angiogenesis and finally on the clinical outcome. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) play an essential role associated with their analgesic potency and anti-inflammatory effects. NSAIDs are also the most often used drugs in patients who require pain control and inflammation reduction due to musculoskeletal diseases or injures. Although their analgesic effect is well documented, NSAIDs also interfere with bone healing; therefore, the relative benefits and disadvantages connected with their administration should be taken into consideration. Despite the negative effect, NSAIDs have beneficial properties, but their clinical benefits in relation to dose and time of use are still unclear. Therefore, in this review, we focus on bone healing with relation to the impact of NSAIDs.

[PMID: 29913395 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2018.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2018] [Revised: 05/29/2018] [Accepted: 06/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in postoperative pain management. While an increasing number of in vitro and animal studies point toward an inhibitory effect of NSAIDs on bone healing process, the few existing retro- and prospective clinical studies present conflicting data. DESIGN The aim of this qualitative, systematic review was to investigate the impact of perioperative use of NSAIDs in humans on postoperative fracture/spinal fusion healing compared to other used analgesics measured as fracture nonunion with radiological control. PATIENTS/INTERVENTIONS We performed a systematic literature search of the last 38 years using PubMed Embase and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register including retro- and prospective clinical, human trials assessing the effect of NSAIDs on postoperative fracture/spinal fusion healing when used for perioperative pain management with a radiological follow up to assess eventual nonunion. Due to different study designs, drugs, dosages/exposition times and different methods to assess fracture nonunion, these studies were not pooled for a meta-analysis. A descriptive summary of all studies, level of evidence, study quality and study bias assessment using different scores were used. MAIN RESULTS Three prospective randomized controlled studies and thirteen retrospective cohort human studies were identified for a total of 12'895 patients. The overall study quality was low according to Jadad and Oxford Levels of Evidence scores. CONCLUSIONS Published results of human trials did not show strong evidence that NDAIDs for pain therapy after fracture osteosynthesis or spinal fusion lead to an increased nonunion rate. Reviewed studies present such conflicting data, that no clinical recommendation can be made regarding the appropriate use of NSAIDs in this context. Considering laboratory data of animal, human tissue research and recommendation of clinical reviews, a short perioperative exposition to NSAIDs is most likely not deleterious. However, randomized, controlled studies are warranted to support or refute this hypothesis.
