Predictive factors for one-year mortality after surgery for periprosthetic femoral fracture: A retrospective multicenter (TRON group) study. J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:299-305. [PMID: 36669954 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2022.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or bipolar hip arthroplasty (BHA) represents a challenging situation and the treatment is associated with high rates of complications and mortality. The aims of this multicenter retrospective study were to determine 1-year mortality and to identify predictors associated with mortality, including patient characteristics and surgical factors, in patients undergoing surgery for PFF after THA or BHA. METHODS We collected 249 cases of PPF after THA or BHA that were treated in our 11 hospitals (named the TRON group) between January 2010 and December 2019. We excluded patients who were conservatively treated, cases in which the 1-year postoperative outcome was unknown, and Vancouver type A cases. Finally, we analyzed 161 patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors affecting 1-year mortality. Patient-side factors such as age, BMI, fracture type, and preoperative mobility, and surgical factors such as surgical procedure, time to surgery, and operation time were analyzed respectively. RESULTS Eighteen of 161 patients (11.2%) died one year after surgery. The multivariate Cox regression analysis identified older age, wheelchair status before injury, and operation time as independent predictors of 1-year mortality (older age: hazard ratio [HR] 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.15, P = 0.048; wheelchair status: HR 5.82, 95% CI 1.01-33.47, P = 0.049; operation time: [HR] 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, P = 0.00929). Meanwhile, fracture type according to the Vancouver classification, body mass index, presence of previous fragility fractures, type of fixation, blood loss during operation, and time to surgery were not independent predictors of 1-year mortality in this analysis. ConclusionThe 1-year mortality rate after surgery for PPFs patients was 11.2%. Factors associated with older and poor activity of daily living (ADL) performance (e.g., wheelchair status before injury), and longer operative time were associated with 1-year mortality after surgery for PPF. Surgeons should carefully plan treatment according to each patient's condition.

Abstract
The aging population and the increasing number of patients with primary total hip arthroplasties (THA) has equated to an increased incidence of periprosthetic fractures (PPF) of the hip. These injuries are a significant source of patient morbidity and mortality, placing a financial burden on healthcare systems worldwide. As the volume of PPF is expected to along with the growing volume of primary and revision THA, it is important to understand the outcomes and factors associated with treatment success. The choice of procedure is in large part guided by the help of the Vancouver Classification system, which is a valid and reproducible system that classifies fractures based on several factors including site of fracture, implant stability and bone stock. PPFs account for approximately 18% of revision THA (rTHA) procedures. rTHA for PPFs is commonly indicated in Vancouver B2 and B3 fractures, to bypass a lack of metaphyseal support with diaphyseal fixation. Such revisions are technically challenging and typically require urgent treatment, with inherent difficulties in patient optimization, leading to a notable rate of post-operative complications, re-revision and mortality. This article reviews epidemiology, health economics and risk factors for PPFs. It additionally reviews outcomes associated with rTHA for PPFs including peri-operative complications, indications for re-operation, rates of re-operation and rates of mortality. Finally, it aims to identify evidence-based factors that have been associated with successful management including modifiable patient-related factors, uncemented vs. cemented stems, stem design (porous coated stems vs. fluted tapered stems), modularity, dislocation and its impact on outcomes following rTHA and strategies for managing bone loss.

J Clin Med 2023; 12:4335. [PMID: 37445370 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aseptic loosening is one of the most-common causes of the failure of cementless stems. Einzel Bild Röntgen Analyse-Femoral Component Analysis (EBRA-FCA) allows the diagnosis of stem migration, which can be considered a factor in predicting implant survival. The current study aimed to present the migration behavior of a tapered proximally anchored straight stem. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed all consecutive patients who received a cementless CBC straight stem (Mathys AG, Bettlach, Switzerland) between 2005 and 2019. We analyzed the migration pattern using the EBRA-FCA software and reviewed their medical histories. In addition, periprosthetic radiolucency was rated according to the Gruen zones and femoral configuration according to Dorr. RESULTS A total of 333 stems in 332 patients (female 191; male 141) met our inclusion criteria. The mean age at surgery was 63 (range 21-87) years. Migration analysis by EBRA-FCA showed a mean subsidence of 1.6 mm at final follow-up at 96 months with a maximum noted mean subsidence of 2.0 mm at 72 and 84 months. Dorr Type A showed a tendency of less subsidence than did Dorr Type B and was statistically significant at 6 (p = 0.0396) and 72 months (p = 0.0127). The body mass index (BMI) and increased subsidence were not found to correlate (p > 0.05). For this cohort, the overall femoral revision-free rate was 95.2% and the revision-free rate for aseptic loosening was 99.1%. CONCLUSIONS The results showed migration behavior in cementless stems with initial increased migration and subsequent secondary stabilization, suggesting an excellent long-term outcome. Stem migration of this tapered proximally anchored stem might be lower in Dorr Type A than in Dorr Type B femurs without being statistically significant at all time points.

Functional Outcomes of Anterior-Based Muscle Sparing Approach Compared to Direct Lateral Approach for Total HIP Arthroplasty Following Acute Femoral Neck Fractures. Geriatr Orthop Surg Rehabil 2023; 14:21514593231170844. [PMID: 37162810 PMCID: PMC10164248 DOI: 10.1177/21514593231170844] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) is becoming a more frequent treatment in the active elderly population. Since there is limited research available presenting clinical outcomes after THA using the anterior-based muscle sparing (ABMS) approach, the aim of this study was to compare this surgical approach to the direct lateral (DL) approach in patients treated by THA for FNFs. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data prospectively collected as a part of our "Hip Fracture Unit" and included 163 patients who underwent THA from January 2016 to January 2019 for acute displaced FNFs. Results A total of 132 patients who completed a minimum 2-years follow up (69 in the ABMS group and 63 in DL group) were included. The ABMS group demonstrated significantly shorter time to reach milestone for hospital discharge (1.5 Days vs 2.1 days, P = .018), while no statistically significant differences were detected in peri-operative complications. At 3 months, the timed up and go test, the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Oxford ip Score (OHS) were significantly better (P = .024, .032 and .034, respectively) in the ABMS group compared to the DL group. No differences were found in functional outcomes (HHS and OHS) nor in complication rate at 6, 12 and 24 months. Discussion This is one of the first studies to analyze functional results of THA performed for FNFs through an ABMS approach. Results are in line with those already present in the Literature. Conclusion ABMS approach allows earlier mobilization and better early functional outcomes, compared to DL approach, in patients undergoing THA for acute displaced FNF. No differences are found after 6 months in functional results and complications rate.

Abstract
Periprosthetic femoral bone fractures are frequent complications of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and may occur during the insertion of uncemented Femoral Stems (FS), due to the nature of the press-fit fixation. Such fracture may lead to the surgical failure of the THA and require a revision surgery, which may have dramatic consequences. Therefore, an early detection of intra-operative fractures is important to avoid worsening the fracture and/or to enable a peroperative treatment. The aim of this in vitro study is to determine the sensitivity of a method based on resonance frequency analysis of the bone-stem-ancillary system for periprosthetic fractures detection. A periprosthetic fracture was artificially created close to the lesser-trochanter of 10 femoral bone mimicking phantoms. The bone-stem-ancillary resonance frequencies in the range (2-12) kHz were measured on an ancillary instrumented with piezoelectric sensors, which was fixed to the femoral stem. The measurements were repeated for different fracture lengths from 4 to 55 mm. The results show a decrease of the resonance frequencies due to the fracture occurrence and propagation. The frequency shift reached up to 170 Hz. The minimum fracture length that can be detected varies from 3.1±1.7 mm to 5.9±1.9 mm according to the mode and to the specimen. A significantly higher sensitivity (p = 0.011) was obtained for a resonance frequency around 10.6 kHz, corresponding to a mode vibrating in a plane perpendicular to the fracture. This study opens new paths toward the development of non-invasive vibration-based methods for intra-operative periprosthetic fractures detection.

The difficulty of choosing the method of analgesia after total replacement of the lower limb large joints (case report, literature review). ACTA BIOMEDICA SCIENTIFICA 2022.

Abstract
A case of successful treatment of a patient with a periprosthetic fracture of the femur is described. The fracture occurred one day after total hip replacement as a result of a fall, possibly associated with postoperative conduction analgesia. Lower limb large joints total replacement may become the most frequently performed type of elective surgery already in the current decade. The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatic diseases and hip fractures is an objective prerequisite for it. Despite of all efforts, the problem of postoperative pain control during these surgical interventions currently remains unresolved. There is currently no “gold standard” for pain relief after total hip and knee replacement surgeries. An excellent ratio of effectiveness and safety is demonstrated by multimodal pain relief programs based on peripheral nerve blocks. However, while having undeniable advantages, conduction anesthesia/analgesia has a critically important drawback. The cornerstone of postoperative rehabilitation for patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement is their early activation. All methods of conduction anesthesia are associated with motor blockade. In particular, femoral nerve block causes weakness of quadriceps muscle of thigh, inducing patients’ inadvertent falling when attempting to stand or walk. The situation with the choice of the method of anesthesia after total replacement of the lower limb large joints can be described as “a long way to go”.
