Forgotten joint score associated with prosthesis weight in cementless total hip arthroplasty: a prospective clinical study. Front Surg 2024; 11:1210668. [PMID: 39139397 PMCID: PMC11319274 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2024.1210668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This prospective study aimed to investigate the influence of weight difference between implanted prosthesis and removed bone in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) on hip awareness and patient-reported outcomes. Methods A total of 48 patients (56 hips) who underwent primary THA were prospectively enrolled. Implanted prosthesis and removed bone were weighed intraoperatively. Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) scores were obtained before and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Patients were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the percentile of the weight difference. Results The mean weight difference of the implanted prosthesis and removed bone was 117.97 ± 47.35 g. A negative correlation was found among the weight differences of the three groups and 1- and 3-month postoperative FJS (correlation coefficients, -0.331 and -0.734, respectively). A positive correlation was found among the weight difference of the three groups and 3-month postoperative WOMAC (correlation coefficient, 0.403). A significant difference in 3-month postoperative FJS and WOMAC scores was found among the three groups. The mean 3-month postoperative FJS (79.00) of group C was significantly lower than that of group A (93.32) (P < 0.05). The mean WOMAC score (15.83) of group A was significantly lower than that of group C (23.67) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implanted prosthesis is larger than the removed bone in cementless THA. The weight difference is negatively correlated with hip function. The weight difference should be minimized to achieve optimal hip joint awareness.

Variation in Demographics, Hospital, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty According to Biological Sex. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00684-3. [PMID: 38971394 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.063] [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: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 06/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of biological sex on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. Accounting for biological sex in research is crucial for reproducibility and accuracy. Average combined data may mask sex-related variation and obscure clinically relevant differences in outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate hospital and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after THA by biological sex to elucidate differences and ultimately provide more equitable care. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing primary THA at a single large academic center between January 2013 and August 2020. Demographics, operative variables, hospital outcomes, and PROMs were compared between men and women patients. The PROMs included preoperative, 6-weeks, 6-months, and 1-year Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation, Visual Analog Scale, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement, University of California, Los Angeles, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System mental and physical scores, as well as satisfaction scores. RESULTS A total of 6,418 patients were included (55% women). Women were older (P < .001), had a lower body mass index (P < .001), and were more likely to have public insurance (P < .001). Fewer women were discharged to home or self-care (P < .001). Women had higher rates of cementation (P < .001) and fracture within 90 days (P < .001), and these associations remained significant with adjusted multivariable analyses. Women had significantly higher pain and lower functional scores preoperatively; postoperatively, most PROMs were equivalent. CONCLUSIONS Important differences were observed in several areas. Demographic parameters differed, and a variable effect of biological sex was observed on surgical and hospital outcomes. Women had an increased incidence of cemented femoral components (indicated for osteoporotic bone) and postoperative fractures. Women's PROMs demonstrated globally lower functional scores and higher pain preoperatively. Differences attributed to sex should continue to be investigated and accounted for in risk-stratification models. Future studies are needed to elucidate the underlying causes of observed biological sex differences and are essential for equitable arthroplasty care.

Difference in early all-cause mortality among patients having hip arthroplasty a Swedish perioperative registry study 2013-2022. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:295. [PMID: 38750567 PMCID: PMC11094893 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04752-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip arthroplasty is a common orthopaedic procedure worldwide. There is an ongoing debate related to the fixation and anaesthesia impact on the 30-day mortality, particularly in the aging population with higher American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) Physical-Status. AIM To study the 30-day all-cause mortality in patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty, with regards to the impact of age, ASA-class, anaesthesia techniques, indication for surgery and fixation techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Perioperative data for primary hip arthroplasty procedures for osteoarthritis and hip fractures registered in the Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) between 2013 and June 2022 were collected. Binary logistic regressions were performed to assess the impact of age, ASA-class, anaesthetic technique, indication for surgery and fixation on odds ratio for 30-day mortality in Sweden. RESULTS In total, 79,114 patients, 49,565 with osteoarthritis and 29,549 with hip fractures were included in the main study cohort. Mortality was significantly higher among hip fracture patients compared with osteoarthritis, cumulative 8.2% versus 0.1% at 30-days respectively (p < 0.001). Age above 80 years (OR3.7), ASA 3-5 (OR3.3) and surgery for hip fracture (OR 21.5) were associated with significantly higher odds ratio, while hybrid fixation was associated with a significantly lower odds ratio (OR0.4) of 30-day mortality. In the same model, for the subgroups of osteoarthritis and hip fracture, only age (OR 3.7) and ASA-class (OR 3.3) had significant impact, increasing the odds ratio for 30-day mortality. Hemi arthroplasty was commonly used among the hip fracture patients 20.453 (69.2%), and associated with a significantly higher odds ratio for all-cause 30-day mortality as compared to total hip arthroplasty when adjusting for age and ASA-class and fixation 2.3 (95%CI 1.9-2.3, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS All-cause 30-day mortality associated with arthroplasty differed significantly between the two cohorts, hip fracture, and osteoarthritis (8.2% and 0.1% respectively) and mortality expectedly increased with age and higher ASA-class. Anaesthetic method and cement-fixation did not impact the odds ratio for all-cause 30-day mortality after adjustment for age and ASA-class.

The Impact of Early Rehabilitation and the Acceptance of the Disease on the Quality of Life of Patients after Hip Arthroplasty: An Observational Study. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2902. [PMID: 38792443 PMCID: PMC11122493 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102902] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The early introduction of physiotherapy significantly shortens the time required for a patient to regain full mobility after hip arthroplasty. Obtaining the expected result is determined by cooperation with a physiotherapist and the patient's involvement in the rehabilitation process. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life, life satisfaction, and motor ability of patients after hip arthroplasty. Methods: This study included 147 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty at the Orthopedic and Trauma Department. The research material was collected using questionnaires, and the study used the Barthel Index (BI), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS), and Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). In the studied group of patients, the Excia cementless endoprosthesis was primarily used (69.39%), as well as the Metha Short Hip prosthesis (15.65%), AM hip prosthesis (10.20%), and bipolar hip prosthesis (4.76%). Results: The analyzed group of patients included 95 women (64.63%) and 52 men (35.37%); the average age was 67 years. Six weeks after hip arthroplasty, mild disability occurred in 53.74% of the patients, while the remaining 46.26% had no disability, and 95.24% of the patients achieved a high level of acceptance of the disease and quality of life. Conclusions: Early improvement after hip replacement surgery contributes to eliminating the disability of the hip joint in the following areas: pain sensation, functionality, lack of deformation, and range of motion. Each subsequent stage of treatment increased the level of acceptance of the disease in the study group. The applied surgical treatment increased satisfaction with overall health and quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip (THA) and knee (TKA) arthroplasty are effective procedures, but whose success depends on various factors, including patients' genetics, sociocultural environments, and psychological factors. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide objective health status outcomes measurements, whose lowest significant variation is detected by the minimum clinically important difference (MCID). HYPOTHESIS We aimed to find the MCID scores for the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), HADS-A, and HADS-D in a cohort of individuals undergoing THA or TKA. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 88 patients suffering from osteoarthritis (43 undergoing THA, and 45 TKA) by administering HADS, SF-12 and WOMAC at baseline and then with a 12-month prospective follow-up. The MCID for HADS, HADS-A, and HADS-D was calculated using the distribution-based approach, according to various techniques (0.5 standard deviation [0.5 SD]), the standard error of measurement (SEM), the effect size (ES), and the minimum detectable change (MDC). RESULTS The analysis of HADS, HADS-A, and HADS-D scores revealed clinically significant improvements in symptoms in patients who underwent THA and TKA. The MCID range values were determined to be between 2.7-8.5 for the HADS, 1.4-4.4 for the HADS-A, and 1.5-4.8 for the HADS-D in the group of patients undergoing THA, and 2.1-6.7 for the HADS, 1.2-3.8 for the HADS-A, and 1.1-3.6 for the HADS-D in the TKA group. DISCUSSION The study determined significant improvement in all scores applying MCID analysis, which can aid physicians in interpreting anxiety and depression scores and developing both preoperative and postoperative procedures to enhance outcomes for patients undergoing THA and TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I; well-designed cohort study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip arthroplasty (THA) can significantly improve quality of life (QOL) in patients with hip osteoarthritis. A relationship exists between activity levels and postoperative QOL, but its determinants are not well known. The aim of this work was to investigate the relationship between hip, pelvis and lumbar spine mobility and alignment before and after THA with QOL. MATERIAL AND METHODS Consecutive patients with hip arthrosis and an indication for THA were included prospectively between July 2019 and December 2020, and they underwent lateral radiographs in free-standing, extension, relaxed- and flexed-seated position. Spinopelvic and hip parameters were measured, as well as their changes between positions to assess hip, pelvis and lumbar spine mobility. Patients were also administered QOL questionnaires. Data were collected preoperatively and 6 and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS Seventy patients were included; QOL significantly increased 6 months after THA (from 18 [10; 27] to 61 [48; 72], p < 0.001). QOL further increased by 10 points or more after 6 months in 18% of patients, while it decreased in 16%. The latter showed higher pelvic range of motion (between flexion and extension) than the former. CONCLUSIONS This study confirmed that QOL is significantly improved by THA, and that spinopelvic alignment and function can play a role. Future work should elucidate how to better predict postoperative QOL from preoperative patient characteristics to improve patient treatment and establish early postoperative physical therapy for patients who could benefit from postoperative improvement of activity-related QOL.

Short- to Mid-Term Clinical and Radiological Results of Selective Laser Melting Highly Porous Titanium Cup in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Clin Med 2024; 13:969. [PMID: 38398281 PMCID: PMC10889807 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13040969] [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: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate short- to mid-term clinical and radiological results in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of a Selective Laser Melting 3D-printed highly porous titanium acetabular cup (Jump System Traser®, Permedica Orthopaedics). (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective study and collected prospective data on 125 consecutive patients who underwent primary THA with the use of highly porous titanium cup. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with a clinical and radiological assessment. (3) Results: The final cohort consisted of 104 patients evaluated after a correct value of 52 (38-74) months. The median Harris Hip Score (HHS) significantly improved from 63.7 (16-95.8) preoperatively to 94.8 (38.2-95.8) postoperatively (p < 0.001), with higher improvement associated with higher age at surgery (β = 0.22, p = 0.025). On postoperative radiographs, the average acetabular cup inclination and anteversion were 46° (30°-57°) and 15° (1°-32°), respectively. All cups radiographically showed signs of osseointegration with no radiolucency observed, or component loosening. (4) Conclusions: The use of this highly porous acetabular cup in primary THA achieved excellent clinical, functional, and radiological results at mid-term follow-up. A better clinical recovery can be expected in older patients. The radiological evaluation showed excellent osseointegration of the cup with complete absence of periprosthetic radiolucent lines.

Abstract
Introduction We present the case studies of three patients requiring revision for premature failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Case Report All patients received titanium nitride (TiN)-coated heads made of titanium alloy TiALV as part of their index total hip replacements. At the time of revision surgery, intraoperative findings included partial or complete delamination of the TiN head coating and wear/deformation of the TiALV heads. Conclusion In addition to PE wear as a known mechanism for THA failure, titanium wear appears to play a major role in contributing to early THA failure and acceleration of PE wear. As a result, the choice of TiN-coated TiALV heads for use in THA should be approached with caution. It is thought that manufacturers of hip implants are aware of this potential problem. However, in a global community, this paper simply aims to bring this knowledge to general attention, while the manufacture of the presented heads does not exist anymore.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COMT gene encodes the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase, which is a key modulator of dopaminergic and adrenergic neurotransmission. Hip osteoarthritis is accompanied by reduced mobility and some level of disability. In our study, we analyzed the association between some COMT gene polymorphisms and reduced mobility in patients after total hip replacement (THR). METHODS The operative procedures were performed on 195 patients with symptomatic and radiologically advanced hip osteoarthritis. In the postoperative follow-up, we assessed hip function with the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the degree of disability with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These procedures were repeated three times at defined intervals (one week, six weeks, and six months) after the total hip replacement. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. SNPs in the COMT genes rs4680:A>G, rs6269:A>G, rs4633:C>T, and rs4818:C>G were genotyped. RESULTS Our findings suggest an association between COMT gene variability and the level of disability measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in patients after total hip replacement (THR). CONCLUSIONS A higher number of COMT G alleles (rs4818) is an independent factor in a significant reduction in disability degree at both one week and six months after total hip replacement (THR), regardless of age or gender.

[PMID: 38026480 PMCID: PMC10657873 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1216103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, there is no "gold standard" for early diagnosing PJI. The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging problem in the clinic. As we know, many serum markers have been used in the early diagnosis of PJI. The aim of this study was to validate the value of PCT in the diagnosis of PJI. Methods A retrospective review of 77 patients with revision arthroplasties from January 2013 to July 2020 was conducted. PJI was defined using the modified Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria combined with follow-up results. Besides medical history, clinical and laboratory data was gathered. Preoperative blood was taken for serum PCT and other biomarkers measurement. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the biomarkers' diagnostic performance and optimal cut-off value. Results Forty-one patients were identified as the PJI group (27 hips and 14 knees), while thirty-six patients were identified as the aseptic loosening (AL) group (33 hips and 3 knees). The AUCs for C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), Platelets (PLT), Fibrinogen (FIB), and Procalcitonin (PCT) were 0.845 (95% CI 0.755-0.936, p < 0.001), 0.817 (95% CI 0.718-0.916, p < 0.001), 0.728 (95% CI 0.613-0.843, p < 0.001), 0.810 (95% CI 0.710-0.910, p < 0.001) and 0.504 (95% CI 0.373-0.635, p = 0.950), respectively. Higher Area under the Curve (AUC) values were obtained for the combinations of PCT and CRP (AUC = 0.870) (95% CI, 0.774-0.936), PCT and ESR (AUC = 0.817) (95% CI, 0.712-0.896), PCT and PLT (AUC = 0.731) (95% CI, 0.617-0.825), PCT and FIB (AUC = 0.815) (95% CI, 0.710-0.894). The serum PCT indicated a sensitivity of 19.51% and a specificity of 83.33% for diagnosing PJI. When the optimal cut-off value for PCT was set as 0.05 ng/ml, its positive and negative likelihood ratios were 57.1% and 47.6%, respectively. Conclusion In conclusion, serum PCT appeared to be no reliable biomarker in differentiating PJI from aseptic loosening before revision arthroplasties. However, PCT combined with other biomarkers further increases the diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze evolution and factors related with greater gains in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and with a greater probability of exceed their corresponding minimal clinically important differences (MCID) in patients with Osteoarthritis of the knee, undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at long-term. METHODS Data were obtained from two previously recruited multicenter cohorts of patients who underwent TKA in the Basque Country. Patients were follow-up at 6 months and 10 years after surgery. Patients completed specific and generic HRQOL questionnaires plus sociodemographic, and clinical data at 10 years. Associations were analysed using linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS A total of 471 patients responded at 10-year follow-up. The multivariable analysis showed that low preoperative HRQOL scores, higher age, higher BMI, some comorbidities and readmissions at 6 months were associated with less gains in HRQOL. Apart from aforementioned, to have a peripheral vascular disease (odd ratio 0.49 (95% CI, 0.24-0.99)), complications (odd ratio 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11-0.91)), and readmissions within 6 months of discharge (odd ratio 2.12 (95% CI, 1.18-3.80)) were associated with a lower probability of exceeding the MCID. The effect sizes (ESs) of changes from baseline to 6 months (range, 1.20-1.96) and to 10 years (range, 1.54-1.99) were large in all dimensions, nevertheless the ESs from 6 months to 10 years were not appreciable for pain (ES = 0.03) or stiffness (ES = 0.09), and small for function (ES = 0.30). CONCLUSIONS Low preoperative HRQOL scores, to be elderly, severe obesity, the presence of some comorbidities -depression and rheumatology disease-, having readmissions or complications and not having rehabilitation of discharge, are good predictors of long-term lower gains in HRQOL. Some other non-registered parameters of the follow-up may also influence those outcomes. KEY INDEXING TERMS (MESH TERMS) Health-Related Quality of Life, Knee Arthroplasty, Total, Osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with postpolio syndrome (PPS) may be afflicted by hip arthritis in either the paralytic or contralateral limb. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be considered in these patients. However, short-term and long-term outcomes following THA in PPS patients remain poorly characterized. METHODS The PearlDiver MHip administrative database was queried for patients undergoing THA. Patients with a diagnosis of PPS were matched 1:4 with control patients on the basis of age, gender, and comorbidity burden. Incidence of postoperative adverse events and readmission in the 90 days following surgery and occurrence of revision arthroplasty in the five-year postoperative period were assessed between the two cohorts. RESULTS In total, 1,519 PPS patients were matched to 6,076 control patients without PPS. After controlling for patient demographics and comorbidities, PPS patients demonstrated higher 90-day odds of urinary tract infection (odds ratio [OR] = 1.34, P = .016), pneumonia (OR = 2.07, P < .001), prosthetic dislocation (OR = 1.63, P = .018), and readmission (OR = 1.49, P = .002). Five years following surgery, 94.7% of the PPS cohort remained revision-free, compared to 96.7% of the control cohort (P = .001). CONCLUSION Compared to patients without PPS, patients with PPS demonstrated a higher incidence of urinary tract infection, pneumonia, prosthetic dislocation, and hospital readmission. In addition, five-year incidence of revision arthroplasty was significantly higher among the PPS cohort. In light of these increased risks, special considerations should be made in both preoperative planning and postoperative surveillance of PPS patients undergoing THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients Have Lower Risk of Dislocation Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Compared with Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery. Int J Gen Med 2022; 15:6573-6582. [PMID: 35978732 PMCID: PMC9377400 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s373432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) surgery and patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have concomitant pathology of hip and lumbosacral spine. The purpose of our study is to compare the dislocation rate following total hip arthroplasty (THA) between patients with LSF and AS and reveal the differences of lumbar fusion secondary to LSF and AS. Patients and methods Fifty-nine patients (73 hips) were included in Group LSF and every patient was matched with two patients in Group AS. Follow-ups were conducted for information of surgical prognosis and dislocation events following THA. Multiple anatomic parameters were measured on preoperative and postoperative radiological images. Results The dislocation rate of patients in Group AS (0.68%) was obviously lower than that of patients in Group LSF (4.11%) and the hazard ratio of dislocation events following THA reached 6.1. Considering the low calculated power (1-β, 0.24), we supposed insufficient statistical evidence (p=0.118) could be attributed to small sample size. Postoperative hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in Group AS (102.1°±24.5°) was significantly lower than that in Group LSF (117.4°±14.2°) (p<0.0005). Postoperative flexion ROM of lumbar was also significantly lower in Group AS (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between two groups concerning postoperative acetabular inclination (p=0.988) and anteversion (p=0.25). However, patients in Group AS had a significantly lower sacral slope (p=0.025) and higher pelvic tilt (p<0.0005) than patients in Group LSF after THA. Conclusion Patients with AS have a lower risk of dislocation after THA compared with patients undergoing LSF. The lower risk is significantly relevant to severer stiffness and lower mobility along the spine-pelvis--hip axis in AS patients after THA. Acetabular orientation has no significant effect on the difference of dislocation rate between patients with LSF and AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis at total hip arthroplasty (THA) has significant hip stiffness with flexion deformity, restricted mobility, and function. Range of movement (ROM) improvement with good functional outcome is seen following THA in these hips. The modified Hardinge approach without abductor compromise is helpful in these stiff hips with associated flexion deformity.
AIM To assess improvement in ROM and functional outcomes with a modified lateral approach THA in ankylosing spondylitis with stiff hips.
METHODS A total of 69 hips that underwent THA with a modified Hardinge approach in 40 patients were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 38.33 mo. All individuals ambulated with weight-bearing as tolerated and ROM exercises from the 1st postoperative day. Modified Harris hip score and ROM were assessed during follow-up. Quality of life assessments using the 36-item and 12-item short form health surveys were done along with clinical and functional outcomes at follow-up. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis. The correlation of ROM and functional score change was performed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
RESULTS Sixty-nine hips with a significant decrease in ROM preoperatively with 32 clinically fused hips showed significant improvement in flexion range. The mean flexion in 69 hips improved from 29.35 ± 31.38 degrees to 102.17 ± 10.48 degrees. The mean difference of 72.82 with a P value < 0.0001 was significant. In total, 45 out of 69 hips had flexion deformity, with 13 hips having a deformity above 30 degrees. The flexion during the follow-up was below 90 degrees in 3 hips. Eleven hips had flexion of 90 degrees at follow-up, while the remaining 55 hips had flexion above 100 degrees. Modified Harris hip score improved from 17.03 ± 6.02 to 90.66 ± 7.23 (P value < 0.0001). The 36-item short form health survey at the follow-up indicated health status in 40 patients as excellent in 11, very good in 20, good in 5, fair in 3, and poor in 1. The mean mental health score was 84.10 ± 11.58. Pain relief was good in all 69 hips. Altogether, 28/40 patients (70%) had no pain, 9 patients (22%) had occasional pain, and 3 patients (8%) had mild to moderate pain with unusual activity. Heterotopic ossification was seen in 21 hips with Brooker class 1 in 14 hips.
CONCLUSION Modified Hardinge approach THA in ankylosing spondylitis with stiff hips with flexion deformity significantly improved ROM, Harris hip score, and quality of life indicated by the 36-item and 12-item short form health surveys.

Abstract
Background Owing to the direct impact of total hip arthroplasty (THA) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the higher prevalence of THA in the elderly, this study aimed to compare HRQOL before, and after THA in the Iranian elderly.
Methods The present prospective cohort study was performed on 161 THA candidates. Demographic data were extracted from records of patients. Before, 6, and 12 months after THA, a Short Form 36 health survey (SF-36) was used to assess HRQOL. Before THA, 6 and 12 months after THA, Physical (PCS), and mental component scores (MCS) were obtained from a hundred separately for each subscale of the questionnaire. The Paired t-test was used to compare HRQOL before and after THA. Results Both 6 and 12 months after THA, HRQOL was significantly increased compared to previous THA (P = 0.001). In the first half-year after THA, vitality and emotional state were not different from pre-surgery. However, 12 months after THA, these two subscales also were significantly improved. Although, 6 months after THA, the PCS has dramatically gone up compared to the previous THA (P = 0.012), despite MCS was remained steady. Nonetheless, by comparison with the before surgery, 12 months after THA, MSC notably improved (P = 0.048). Conclusion HRQOL was appreciably improved by the THA in the elderly after 12 months. The improvement in HRQoL in the first 6 months after THA is related to the promotion in the physical aspect (PCS score), and in the second 6 months after THA is related to the promotion in the psychological aspect (MCS score).

Abstract
The wear of acetabular liner is one of the key factors determining osseointegration and long-term performance of total hip joint replacement implants. The experimental measurements of wear in total hip replacement components are time and cost-intensive. While addressing this aspect, a finite element model of a hip joint bearing consisting of zirconia-toughened alumina femoral head and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene liner was developed to predict the dynamic wear response of the liner. The Archard-Lancaster equation, consisting of surface contact pressure, wear rate, and sliding distance, was employed to predict the wear of the acetabular liner. The contact pressure and wear at the articulating surface were found to decrease over time. A new computational method involving three-dimensional point clouds from the finite element analyzed results were used to construct wear maps. The model was able to predict the linear wear, over 2 × 106 cycles with relative errors ranging from 9% to 36% when compared to the published results. The increasing error percentage occurring primarily from the use of a constant wear rate was reduced to a maximum of 17% by introducing a correction factor. The volumetric rate was predicted with a maximum relative error of 7% with the implementation of the correction factor. When the model was implemented to study acetabular liners of diameters ranging from 28 to 36 mm, the linear wear was seen to decrease with an increase in femoral head diameter, which is in agreement with the clinical data. This study emphasizes the need to develop more such FEA-based computational studies to reliably predict and correlate with experimentally measured temporal evolution of wear of load-bearing articulating joints.

Abstract
Introduction/Objective. The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the
use of New Mobility Score in estimating functional recovery 3 months after
total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods. Seventy patients, aged > 60, who
underwent THA. Treatment group was subjected to the comprehensive
rehabilitation program and control group to the standard one. Primary outcome
was assessed with Harris Hip Score (HHS) and New Mobility Score (NMS), and
secondary one by Medical Outcomes Health Survey (Short Form Health Survey -
SF-36). Questionnaires were collected before and three months after hip
surgery. Results. Treatment group showed significant improvement 3 months
postoperatively. The correlation in both groups between HHS and NMS was very
strong (r > 0.700). Treatment group following surgery showed strong
correlation between Recovery through Personal Care Services (PCS) and HHS and
NMS (r > 0.700), moderate to strong between pain categories and HHS (r =
0.380; r = 0.583) and NMS (r = 0.424). Control group showed strong
correlation between PCS and HHS (r = 0.704), and NMS (r = 0.568) and moderate
to pain categories and HHS (r = 0.546; r = 0.466). The area under the curve
(AUC) described the inherent validity of all measurement used AUCNMS = 0.724,
p = 0.001, AUCHHS = 0.788, p = 0.000 and AUCPCS = 0.747, p = 0.001.
Conclusion. The NMS could be successfully used in routine clinical assessment
of elderly patients following THA. The trial is registered in ISRCTN Register

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:932. [PMID: 34749687 PMCID: PMC8576907 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04679-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most controversial aspects for maximizing outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains the surgical approach to the hip joint. The posterior (PA) and lateral approaches (LA) are the two most commonly performed approaches used worldwide, but sparse data are available for their comparison in terms of health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to assess the role of the PA and LA in the HRQoL and hip functionality of patients who underwent primary and elective THA for osteoarthritis, after a minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS One hundred twenty-eight patients (140 THAs: 68 with PA and 72 with LA) were evaluated in a matched cohort study. Data gathered included the body mass index, the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, surgery time, serum creatine phosphokinase (CpK) levels, estimated intraoperative blood loss and intra- or postoperative complications. Preoperatively and at the last follow-up, the activities of daily living, and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scales, the Western Ontario and Mac Master University (WOMAC) Questionnaire, the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to assess HRQoL and functionality. The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) Questionnaire was administered at the last follow-up. RESULTS Postoperatively, CpK was higher in the LA group compared to the PA (695 ± 648 vs. 447 ± 326 UI/L, p < 0.001). At a mean follow-up of 47 ± 22 months for the LA group and 42 ± 29 months for the PA group, IADL, VAS, HHS and WOMAC scores significantly improved for both groups (all p < 0.001), but PA reported better VAS, residual pain and WOMAC scores (p = 0.002, p = 0.004 and p = 0.018, respectively). The PA group demonstrated a significant higher mental SF-36 subscale values than the LA group (49 ± 13 vs. 42 ± 19, p = 0.001). The LA group showed a higher number of Trendelenburg signs (p = 0.029). On the contrary, the PA group showed a higher number of leg lengthening (p = 0.020); however, most of these cases was less than the clinically significant value of 10 mm (p = 0.738). CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent THA performed with the PA reported greater improvement in HRQoL with lower residual pain, postoperative muscle damage and Trendelenburg signs than those who underwent the LA.

Abstract
Background and purpose - There is lack of knowledge concerning patient-reported long-time outcome after arthroplasty. Therefore, we investigated patient self-reported physical capabilities (PC) and subjective well-being (SW) up to 20 years after total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty.Subjects and methods - The self-reports from postal questionnaires for study checkpoints (baseline, 10-year follow-up, 20-year follow-up) were provided by the Kuopio OSTPRE study including only women aged 52-62 years (n = 6,462). The Finnish Arthroplasty Register and Care Register for Health Care provided data on arthroplasties in the OSTPRE population. The results of women with THA/TKA were compared with women without arthroplasty (control group).Results - In subjects with THA performed before the 10-year follow-up, the proportion of good PC was initially decreased by 0.6 percentage points (pp) at the 10-year follow-up and later by 19 pp at the 20-year follow-up. After TKA, the proportion of subjects with good PC decreased by 4.1 pp (10-year follow-up) and 27 pp (20-year follow-up), respectively. The proportion of controls reporting good PC decreased by 1.4 pp at the 10-year follow-up and 14 pp at the 20-year follow-up compared with the baseline. After THA, the proportion of subjects with good SW stayed on the same level at 10-year follow-up and decreased by 2.3 pp at 20-year follow-up. After TKA, the proportion of good SW increased by 9.0 pp (10-year follow-up) and decreased by 14 pp (20-year follow-up). The proportion of controls reporting good SW increased by 4.0 pp (10-year follow-up) and decreased by 8.8 pp (20-year follow-up).Interpretation - THA and TKA maintain PC and SW. The overall PC and SW are lower in women with arthroplasty, in comparison with controls without arthroplasty. THA seems to outperform TKA in maintaining PC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the indication and risk of 30-day rehospitalization after hip or knee replacement among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) by Medicare and non-Medicare status. METHODS Using the Nationwide Readmission Database (2010-2014), we defined an Index hospitalization as an elective hospitalization with a principal procedure of total hip or knee replacement among adults aged ≥18 years. Primary payer was categorized as Medicare or non- Medicare. Survey logistic regression provided the odds of 30-day rehospitalization in RA relative to OA. We calculated the rates for principal diagnoses leading to rehospitalization. RESULTS Overall, 3.53% of 2,190,745 index hospitalization had a 30-day rehospitalization. Patients with RA had a higher adjusted risk of rehospitalization after TKR (Odds Ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 1.02 to 1.21) and THR (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.62). Persons with RA and OA did not differ with respect to rates of infections, cardiac events, or postoperative complications leading to the rehospitalization. After TKR, RA patients with Medicare had a lower VTE risk (OR, 0.58;95% CI, 0.58 to 0.88) while post-THR those with RA had a greater VTE risk (OR, 2.41;95% CI, 1.04 to 5.57). CONCLUSION RA patients had a higher 30-day rehospitalization than OA after TKR and THR regardless of payer type. While infections, postoperative complications, cardiac did not differ, there was a significant difference in venous thromboembolism as the rehospitalization's principal diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is a well-established fact that concomitant diseases can affect the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, careful preoperative assessment of a patient's comorbidity burden is a necessity, and it should be a part of routine screening as THA is associated with a significant number of complications. To measure the multimorbidity, dedicated clinical tools are used. METHODS The article is a systematic review of instruments used to evaluate comorbidities in THA studies. To create a list of available instruments for assessing patient's comorbidities, the search of medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase) for indices with proven impact on revision risk, adverse events, mortality, or patient's physical functioning was performed by two independent researchers. RESULTS The initial search led to identifying 564 articles from which 26 were included in this review. The measurement tools used were: The Charlson Comorbidity Index (18/26), Society of Anesthesiology classification (10/26), Elixhauser Comorbidity Method (6/26), and modified Frailty Index (5/26). The following outcomes were measured: quality of life and physical function (8/26), complications (10/26), mortality (8/26), length of stay (6/26), readmission (5/26), reoperation (2/26), satisfaction (2/26), blood transfusion (2/26), surgery delay or cancelation (1/26), cost of care (1/26), risk of falls (1/26), and use of painkillers (1/26). Further research resulted in a comprehensive list of eleven indices suitable for use in THA outcomes studies. CONCLUSION The comorbidity assessment tools used in THA studies present a high heterogeneity level, and there is no particular system that has been uniformly adopted. This review can serve as a help and an essential guide for researchers in the field.

Frequency and Timing of Complications and Catastrophic Events After Same-Day Discharge Compared With Inpatient Total Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:S264-S271. [PMID: 33663888 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.01.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Same-day discharge total hip arthroplasty (THA) has grown in utilization although concerns exist regarding early complications and catastrophic events. We sought to compare the risk of complications and catastrophic events for same-day and inpatient stay THA. METHODS A cohort study was conducted using Kaiser Permanente's total joint replacement registry. Primary elective THA were identified (2017-2018). Propensity score-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate risk for 90-day incident events, including emergency department (ED) visit, unplanned readmission, cardiac complication, deep infection, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and mortality, by in-hospital length of stay: same-day vs 1-2-night inpatient stay. RESULTS The study sample comprised 13,646 THA, 6033 (44.1%) with a same-day discharge. Median days-to-events for same-day vs inpatient was 11 vs 12 for ED visit, 23 vs 20 for readmission, 38 vs 12 for cardiac complication, 28 vs 24 for deep infection, 14.5 vs 23.5 for VTE, and 7 vs 35.5 for mortality. In propensity score-weighted models, same-day discharge THA had a lower risk for 90-day ED visit (HR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.72-0.94), readmission (HR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.61-0.92), and cardiac complication (HR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.47-0.76), compared with inpatient stay THA; no difference was observed for deep infection (HR = 1.59, 95% CI = 0.81-3.12), VTE (HR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.52-1.58), or mortality (HR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.27-2.40). CONCLUSION We observed a lower or no difference in risk for complications and catastrophic events after same-day THA than an inpatient stay. Catastrophic events were more likely to occur early in the 90-day period, but an inpatient stay did not preclude events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to assess the long-term outcomes of this specific stem (anatomical cementless modular stem ESOP), to review the survivorship, complication rate, and radiographic and clinical outcomes. METHODS Descriptive and analytical retrospective longitudinal observational study of patients was operated on total hip arthroplasty between 1998 and 2007. Four hundred ninety-six prostheses corresponding to 447 patients were reviewed, mean age was 65.8 years (standard deviation [SD] ±11.6 years), and median follow-up time was 13.4 years (range 1-20). The most used cups were cementless (75.8%). The most frequent friction pairs were metal-polyethylene (53.1%) and ceramic-polyethylene (24.2%). Main variables analyzed were stem survival, subsidence, coronal orientation, osteolysis, reintervention, and Oxford Hip Score. RESULTS From 496 implants, there were 22 lost to follow-up (4.4%). Stem revision was performed in 51 patients: 26 periprosthetic joint infections (2-stage revision), 16 periprosthetic fractures, and 8 one-stage revisions (6 real aseptic loosening with negative culture after revision). The stem survivorship at more than 15 years for any reason was 89.2% and for aseptic loosening 97.97%. No specific complications were found due to modularity. The mean subsidence and orientation was 2.06 mm (SD ±5.11 mm) and 0.41° varus (SD ±2.20°) respectively. Subsidence >5 mm or varus >5° was associated with a higher revision rate. Osteolysis was found in 110 patients (zone I = 79, VII = 57), associated with zirconium-polyethylene, without relationship to the stem revision rate or Oxford Hip Score. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study represents the largest series of this stem, revealing an excellent survival rate and long-term clinical outcomes similar to the best results of classical cementless stems published in the literature.

Abstract
The increasing rate of orthopedic procedures, hip arthroplasty in particular, requires improvement of surgical techniques, as well as of the respective rehabilitation protocols. The aim of the study was to assess differences in the quality of life and incidence of limping eight years after total hip arthroplasty performed with a minimally invasive or classic approach. This cross-sectional study included 68 patients, i.e. 32 operated with classic approach and 36 with minimally invasive approach during 2011. The following parameters were observed: anthropometric measurements, history of comorbidity, subjective assessment of limping, and SF-36 questionnaire (Short Form Survey Instrument). SF-36 testing, which consists of 8 domains, showed that 5 domains of the quality of life were statistically significantly better in the minimally invasive group (level of significance p<0.05). These domains were role of limitation due to physical health (p=0.01), energy (p=0.02), social functioning (p=0.02), pain (p=0.02) and general health (p=0.00). The minimally invasive group had a statistically significantly lower incidence of limping (p=0.032). Quality of life after hip replacement could be a decisive factor when choosing the type of orthopedic procedure. The higher number of limping patients in the classic approach group may have contributed to differences in the quality of life. In conclusion, the minimally invasive approach enables higher long-term quality of life and functional recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this review is to examine the effect of perioperative systemic corticosteroids at varying doses and timings on early postoperative recovery outcomes following unilateral total knee and total hip arthroplasty. The primary outcome was length of stay (LOS). METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to June 1, 2020. Studies comparing the outcome of adult patients receiving a systemic steroid to patients who did not receive steroids were included. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included, incorporating 1957 patients. Perioperative corticosteroids reduced hospital LOS (mean difference [MD] = -0.39 days, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.61 to -0.18). A subsequent dose of corticosteroid at 24 hours further reduced LOS (MD = -0.33, 95% CI -0.55 to -0.11). Corticosteroids resulted in reduced levels of pain on postoperative day (POD) 0 (MD = -1.99, 95% CI -3.30 to -0.69), POD1 (MD = -1.47, 95% CI -2.15 to -0.79), and POD2. Higher doses were more effective in reducing pain with activity on POD0 (P = .006) and 1 (P = .023). Steroids reduced the incidence of PONV on POD1 (log odds ratio [OR] = -1.05, 95% CI -1.26 to -0.84) and POD2, with greater effect at higher doses (P = .046). Corticosteroids did not increase the incidence of infection (P = 1.000), venous thromboembolism (P = 1.000), or gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P = 1.000) but were associated with an increase in blood glucose (MD = 5.30 mg/dL, 95% CI 2.69-7.90). CONCLUSION Perioperative corticosteroids are safe, facilitate earlier discharge, and improve patient recovery following unilateral total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Higher doses (15-20 mg of dexamethasone) are associated with further reductions in dynamic pain and PONV, and repeat dosing may further reduce LOS.

Excellent Functional Outcome and Quality of Life after Primary Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) Using an Enhanced Recovery Setup. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10040621. [PMID: 33562021 PMCID: PMC7915727 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10040621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Total hip arthroplasty combined with the concept of enhanced recovery is of continued worldwide interest, as it is reported to improve early functional outcome and treatment quality without increasing complications. The aim of the study was to investigate functional outcome and quality of life 4 weeks and 12 months after cementless total hip arthroplasty in combination with an enhanced recovery concept. Methods: A total of 109 patients underwent primary cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in an enhanced recovery concept and were retrospectively analyzed. After 4 weeks and 12 months, clinical examination was analyzed regarding function, pain and satisfaction; results were evaluated using Harris Hip score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS and subjective patient-related outcome measures (PROMs). Preoperatively, HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) was collected. A correlation analysis of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), HADS and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, art. hypertension, cardiovascular disease) with WOMAC, Harris Hip score (HHS) and EQ-5D was performed. Results: Patients showed a significant improvement in Harris Hip score 4 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). WOMAC total score, subscale pain, subscale stiffness and subscale function improved significantly from preoperative to 12 months postoperative (p < 0.001). EQ-5D showed a significant improvement preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.001). The influence of anxiety or depression (HADS-A or HADS-D) on functional outcome could not be determined. There was a high patient satisfaction postoperatively, and almost 100% of patients would choose enhanced recovery surgery again. Conclusion: Cementless THA with the concept of enhanced recovery improves early clinical function and quality of life. PROMs showed a continuous improvement over a follow-up of 12 months after surgery. PROMs can help patients and surgeons to modify expectations and improve patient satisfaction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current evidence on the efficacy of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after primary joint reconstruction is insufficient. In several European countries, the use of ALBC is routine practice unlike in the USA where ALBC use is not approved in low-risk patients. Therefore, we designed a double-blinded pragmatic multicentre register-based randomised controlled non-inferiority trial to investigate the effects of ALBC compared with plain bone cement in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS AND ANALYSIS A minimum of 9,172 patients undergoing full-cemented primary TKA will be recruited and equally randomised into the ALBC group and the plain bone cement group. This trial will be conducted in Norwegian hospitals that routinely perform cemented primary TKA. The primary outcome will be risk of revision surgery due to PJI at 1-year of follow-up. Secondary outcomes will be: risk of revision due to any reason including aseptic loosening at 1, 6, 10 and 20 years of follow-up; patient-related outcome measures like function, pain, satisfaction and health-related quality of life at 1, 6 and 10 years of follow-up; risk of changes in the microbial pattern and resistance profiles of organisms cultured in subsequent revisions at 1, 6, 10 and 20 years of follow-up; cost-effectiveness of routine ALBC versus plain bone cement use in primary TKA. We will use 1:1 randomisation with random permuted blocks and stratify by participating hospitals to randomise patients to receive ALBC or plain bone cement. Inclusion, randomisation and follow-up will be through the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial was approved by the Western Norway Regional Committees on Medical and Health Research Ethics (reference number: 2019/751/REK vest) on 21 June 2019. The findings of this trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04135170.

Long-Term Survival and Results at a Mean Follow-Up Period of 24 Years of a Tapered Straight, Collarless, Grit-Blasted, Titanium Alloy Stem. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:3644-3649. [PMID: 32660799 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.06.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence on the survivorship of patients who undergo cementless stem implantation, beyond 20 years of the hip arthroplasty. We report implant survival and results of the CLS Spotorno femoral stem until 30 years from implantation. METHODS Survival analysis of 147 CLS Spotorno stems in 119 patients for an average period of 24 years (20-30) from the date of implantation was performed. During the course of the follow-up period, 33 patients (39 hips) died. The information on the survival of their hip implant at the time of death was gathered from their relatives and general practitioners. Sixty-six patients (86 hips) undertook the complete survey along with radiographic examination, while 18 subjects (20 hips) were interviewed over the telephone. The factors influencing survival, functional outcomes, and level of satisfaction with surgery were evaluated. RESULTS The overall estimated survival of the stems was 89.9% after 30 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 83.5-93.9). Survival with femoral revision for aseptic loosening as an end point was 93.1% (95% CI 87.1-96.4). In the worst-case scenario, an overall implant survival of 77.2% (95 CI% 80.3-82.7) was observed after 24 years. Patients who were older than 50 in age at the time of surgery had better survival rates (P = .026). The mean Harris Hip Score at follow-up was 83.1 (range 43-100) and the level of satisfaction was 9/10. The main determinant of postsurgical satisfaction was Harris Hip Score, whereas radiographic alterations explained little with respect to the variation in the outcomes. CONCLUSION The cementless CLS Spotorno stem displayed satisfactory results 24 years after implantation and high estimated survival until 30 years from surgery. However, patients below the age of 50 at the time of surgery have an increased risk of undergoing revision of their femoral stem.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are important outcome measures, especially in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) where symptoms (pain and limping), activity restrictions, and treatments vary depending on the stage of the disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) for measuring HRQoL of patients with LCPD in various stages of the disease. METHODS This is a multicenter validity study. Patients with LCPD between 4 and 18 years old were included and classified into modified Waldenström stages of disease: Early (1 or 2A), Late (2B or 3), or Healed (4). Seven PROMIS domains were collected, including Pain Interference, Fatigue, Mobility, Depression, Anger, Anxiety, and Peer Relationships. Convergent, discriminant, and known group validity was determined. RESULTS A total of 190 patients were included (mean age: 10.4±3.1 y). All 7 domains showed the worst scores in patients in the Early stage (known group validity). Within each domain, all domains positively correlated to each other (convergent validity). Patients who reported more anxiety, depression, and anger were associated with decreased mobility and increased fatigue and pain. Peer relationships had no to weak associations with other domains (discriminant validity). CONCLUSIONS PROMIS has construct validity in measuring the HRQoL of patients in different stages of LCPD, suggesting that PROMIS has potential to serve as a patient-reported outcome tool for this population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic level III study.

[PMID: 32241650 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.02.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In November 2019, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced total hip arthroplasty (THA) will be removed from the inpatient-only list. This may lead to avoidance of patients who have prolonged hospitalizations and discharge to skilled nursing facilities or push providers to unsafely push patients to outpatient surgery centers. Disparities in hip arthroplasty may worsen as patients are "risk stratified" preoperatively to minimize cost outliers. We aimed to evaluate which patient characteristics are associated with extended length of stay (eLOS)-greater than 2 days-and nonhome discharge in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. METHODS The Illinois COMPdata administrative database was queried for THA admissions from January 2016 to June 2018. Variables included age, sex, race and ethnicity, median household income, Illinois region, insurance status, principal diagnosis, Charlson comorbidity index, obesity, discharge disposition, and LOS. Hospital characteristics included bundled payment participation and arthroplasty volume. Using multiple Poisson regression, we examined the association between these factors and the likelihood of nonhome discharge and eLOS. RESULTS There were 41,832 THA admissions from January 2016 to June 2018. A total of 36% had LOS greater than 2 midnights and 25.3% of patients had nonhome discharges. Female patients, non-Hispanic black patients, patients older than 75, obese patients, Medicaid or uninsured status, Charlson comorbidity index > 3, and hip arthroplasty for fracture were associated with increased risk of eLOS and/or nonhome discharge (P < .05). CONCLUSION With the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services emphasis on cost containment, patients at risk of extended stay or nonhome discharge may be deemed "high risk" and have difficulty accessing arthroplasty care. These are potentially vulnerable groups during the transition to the bundled payment model.

Promising results of revision total hip arthroplasty using a hexagonal, modular, tapered stem in cases of aseptic loosening. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0233035. [PMID: 32574168 PMCID: PMC7310743 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0233035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Modular stems are widely used in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with aseptic loosening being a common reason for revision. Despite the good results reported on the use of modular stem designs, there are only few studies focusing on aseptic revisions and few studies on a hexagonal stem design. The goal of this study is to determine stem survival, clinical and functional outcome along with possible risk factors for implant failure in aseptic revision THA. Methods We retrospectively identified 53 patients with aseptic THA revision using a modular hexagonal stem with a minimum follow-up of two years. Femoral bone loss, radiographic and clinical outcomes as well as function measured using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) was assessed. Patients’ previous medical history was analyzed for comorbidities and the body mass index. Stem survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Possible risk factors for implant failure were analyzed using the log-rank test. The median age at revision was 69 (IQR 62–73) with a median follow up of 74 months. Results Implant survival rates amounted to 90.4% at 3 and 5 years. The median HHS improved by 47 points (34 (IQR 22–47) vs 81 (IQR 59–90) p<0.001). There was a reduced implant survival after 5 years when the revision stem was used following a previous cemented stem (83.4% vs 100%, p = 0.04). Conclusion A modular, hexagonal stem can be successfully used in aseptic revision THA with remarkable functional results and excellent survivorship. Revision of a cemented stem using this implant might result in reduced survival which must be considered when planning treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sexual health, aside from reproduction, plays an important role in physical, intellectual, emotional and social facets of life. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a chronic orthopedic disease that has negative physical, social, and mental/spiritual effects, and lowers quality of life. However, no studies exist in the literature that focus on sexual function and health in patients with DDH. METHODS The preoperative and postoperative 6th month and 1st year sexual functions of women who underwent surgical treatment (total hip arthroplasty) for DDH (Crowe 1-4) (n:50) and their spouses (n:30) were evaluated with Arizona Sexual Experience scale (ASEX) questionnaire which evaluates sexual function in 5 categories such as desire, arousal, erection/lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction. RESULTS The ASEX scores were 22.3 ± 3.5 preoperatively, 17.8 ± 2 at the 6th postoperative month, and 14.8 ± 1.3 at the 1st postoperative year. The decrease in the average score showed that sexual dysfunction existed in the preoperative period and sexual function was positively affected in the postoperative period over time. The ASEX scores of the patients younger than 35 in the postoperative 6th month had higher scores (P = .29). The sexual life of the husbands was not affected by the wives' surgery, even though their spouses had a chronic condition causing functional difficulties. CONCLUSION This study showed that the sexual life of women with DDH, who had been treated with total hip arthroplasty, was positively affected, whereas their husbands were unaffected. Further studies focusing on the effect of physiological and emotional factors, in addition to the surgical treatment, on sexual function are needed.

Predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life After Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty for Aseptic Loosening. Indian J Orthop 2020; 54:463-468.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the relationships between preoperative or intraoperative patient factors and postoperative quality of life (QOL) after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of our study was to identify the predictors of QOL after revision THA for aseptic loosening. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one patients who underwent revision THA for aseptic loosening were included in the present study. Preoperative hip function was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. The patients' QOL after surgery was evaluated with EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) assessment at the end of the 2-year follow-up. The patients were then divided into two groups: good QOL (score ≥ 0.6) and poor QOL (score < 0.6). Predictive factors (i.e., age, BMI, preoperative JOA score, and the degree of acetabular bone defect according to the Paprosky classification) were compared between both QOL groups. Furthermore, multiple linear regression was performed to assess independent factors affecting the QOL. RESULTS Significant differences between the good and poor QOL groups were identified for BMI, walking ability, and severity of acetabular bone defect (BMI: 21.5 ± 2.9 vs. 24.1 ± 4.3, P = 0.0331; walking ability: 11.5 ± 5.0 vs. 5.5 ± 4.9, P = 0.0058; acetabular bone defect: 44.4% vs. 81.0%, P = 0.0103). The walking ability independently affected the EQ-5D utility score. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicates that a higher BMI, lower walking ability, and more severe acetabular bone defect are predictors of lower QOL after revision THA for aseptic loosening. In particular, the walking ability was the only independent factor. Thus, surgeons should pay attention to the postoperative management of patients with these risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the functional outcome, the patient's perception of the replaced hip joint with different bearing surfaces and to study the effect of femoral head size on joint perception as well. METHODS One hundred and ten (110) patients, who underwent primary total hip replacement with an average follow-up of 48 months (12-156 months), were assessed for their functional outcome and joint perception. The functional outcome was calculated based on Oxford hip score (OHS) and SF-36. Joint perception was categorized as to whether the replaced joint was perceived like a natural joint or artificial joint with or without restriction of movements. RESULTS There were 50 patients operated for ceramic on ceramic (CoC-hard-on-hard bearing), 60 patients for hard-on-soft bearing (Metal on Polyethelene-MoP 46, Ceramic on Polyethelene-CoP 14). Most of the patients with hard-on-hard bearings perceived their operated hip like a natural joint (p = 0.04) compared to hard-on-soft bearings. There was no significant difference in the functional outcome (OHS, SF-36) between the two bearing surface groups (p > 0.05). There were fifty patients with 28 mm size head while remaining 60 had larger heads (>32 mm). Patients with large heads felt like natural joint compared to small heads (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION The hard-on-hard bearing surfaces (CoC) and large femoral heads (32 mm, 36 mm) are perceived more like a natural joint. Different bearing surfaces do not affect the functional outcome after total hip replacement in a medium term follow up.

Current Preclinical Testing of New Hip Arthroplasty Technologies Does Not Reflect Real-World Loadings: Capturing Patient-Specific and Activity-Related Variation in Hip Contact Forces. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:877-885.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are routinely tested for their tribological performance through regulatory preclinical wear testing (eg, ISO-14242). The standardized loading conditions defined in these tests consist of simplified waveforms, which do not specifically represent in vivo loads in different groups of patients. The aim of this study is to investigate, through musculoskeletal modeling, patient-specific and activity-related variation in hip contact forces (HCFs) in a large cohort of THA patients during common activities of daily living (ADLs). METHODS A total of 132 THA patients participated in a motion-capture analysis while performing different ADLs, including walk, fast walk, stair ascent, and descent (locomotor); sit to stand, stand to sit, squat, and lunge (nonlocomotor). HCFs were then calculated using the AnyBody Modeling System and qualitatively compared across all activities. The influence of gender on HCFs was analyzed through statistical parametric mapping analysis. RESULTS Systematic differences were found in HCF magnitudes and individual components in both locomotor and nonlocomotor ADLs. The qualitative analysis of the ADLs revealed a large range and a large variability in forces experienced at the hip during different activities. Significant differences in the 3-dimensional loading patterns were observed between males and females across most activities. CONCLUSION THA patients present a large variability in the forces experienced at the hip joint during their daily life. The interpatient variation might partially explain the heterogeneity observed in implant survival rates. A more extensive preclinical implant testing standard under clinically relevant loading conditions has been advocated to better predict and avoid clinical wear problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To treat the increasing number of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, high-volume institutions rely on central referral services as first contact point. Depending on the grading of arthritis, patients will be referred to a nonoperative or operative care provider. The present study reports on a simple 5-step questionnaire to identify patients with OA (Kellgren/Lawrence [KL] grade ≥2) of the knee to improve efficiency of referrals. METHODS We included 998 patients who contacted the physician referral service at the author's institution complaining of knee pain and divided them into 2 groups. The study group included patients with an appointment and consisted of 646 patients (345 women [53.4%] and 301 men [46.6%]). X-rays of the knee were graded according to the KL classification system. The control group of patients who did not make an appointment consisted of 352 patients (187 women [53.1%] and 165 men [46.9%]). These patients were contacted to evaluate whether they had been diagnosed with OA of the knee since their initial call, to assure that the study group was not exposed to a selection bias. RESULTS Logistic regression revealed 5 questions as significant predictors for OA of the knee (KL grade ≥2). When combining both groups, an 86.9% sensitivity, a 73.3% specificity, and an 84.3% overall accuracy were reached, when patients answered 3 or more questions positively. CONCLUSION The present study revealed a simple 5-step questionnaire to identify patients with OA of the knee. Implementation of the questionnaire has the potential to improve the accuracy of referral processes and streamline organization before the first appointment.

Abstract
Background Hip replacement is highly effective procedure to decrease pain and disability in patients with hip arthritis and accordingly can affect health related quality of life (HRQOL). Globally, limited studies have reported impact of total hip replacement (THR) on HRQOL and there is no previous reports of HRQOL among Iraqi patients after THR. Objective To evaluate HRQOL in patients after THR and to assess impact of sociodemographic characteristics on it if present. Patients and methods A multicenter cross sectional study was conducted on 96 patients with THR in Iraq. Sociodemographic characteristics were measured. HRQOL after THR was evaluated using Harris hip score (HHS). Results The mean age of patients was 56.76, (13.88) years with a range of 23–90 years. Most of patients were females (52 patients (54.2%). Mean BMI was 44.87(8.07) kg/m2 with a range of 28.1–56.7 kg/m2. The mean(SD) of HHS was 84.39 (7.25) with minimum score of 61.7 and maximum score 93.8. Sociodemographic characteristics had no statistically significant effect on HRQOL measured by HHS except BMI. For each 1 unit increase in BMI, there is significantly and independently decrease in HHS by −0.276. Conclusions THR improved HRQOL. BMI was the only significant independent factor that was negatively correlated with HRQOL. Total hip replacement improved health related quality of life. BMI was the only significant independent factor that was negatively correlated with HRQOL. Age, sex, education, smoking history, duration of THR, and indication of THR were not significantly correlated with HRQOL.

Abstract
Aims The primary aim of this study was to quantify the improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following total hip arthroplasty (THA), as well as the extent of any deterioration through the seven-year follow-up. The secondary aim was to identify predictors of PROM improvement and deterioration. Patients and Methods A total of 976 patients were enrolled into a prospective, international, multicentre study. Patients completed a battery of PROMs prior to THA, at three months post-THA, and at one, three, five, and seven-years post-THA. The Harris Hip Score (HHS), the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS), the SF-36 Mental Component Summary (MCS), and the EuroQol five-dimension three-level (EQ-5D) index were the primary outcomes. Longitudinal changes in each PROM were investigated by piece-wise linear mixed effects models. Clinically significant deterioration was defined for each patient as a decrease of one half of a standard deviation (group baseline). Results Improvements were noted in each PROM between the preoperative and one-year visits, with one-year values exceeding age-matched population norms. Patients with difficulty in self-care experienced less improvement in HHS (odds ratio (OR) 2.2; p = 0.003). Those with anxiety/depression experienced less improvement in PCS (OR -3.3; p = 0.002) and EQ-5D (OR -0.07; p = 0.005). Between one and seven years, obesity was associated with deterioration in HHS (1.5 points/year; p = 0.006), PCS (0.8 points/year; p < 0.001), and EQ-5D (0.02 points/year; p < 0.001). Preoperative difficulty in self-care was associated with deterioration in HHS (2.2 points/year; p < 0.001). Preoperative pain from other joints was associated with deterioration in MCS (0.8 points/year; p < 0.001). All aforementioned factors were associated with clinically significant deterioration in PROMs (p < 0.035), except anxiety/depression with regard to PCS (p = 0.060). Conclusion The present study finds that patient factors affect the improvement and deterioration in PROMs over the medium term following THA. Special attention should be given to patients with risk factors for decreased PROMs, both preoperatively and during follow-up. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:768–778.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to document complications, outcomes, and 10-year survivorship of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a direct anterior approach with an uncemented, straight, hydroxyapatite-coated stem and an uncemented cup. METHODS A retrospective, consecutive series of 275 primary THAs through a direct anterior approach with traction table using Medacta Versafit cup and Quadra-H stem with a minimum of 10-year follow-up was identified. The cumulative 10-year survival of the implants was estimated using Kaplan-Meier estimator. All complications, reoperations, and failures were analyzed. Subjective and clinical outcomes (Subjective Hip Value, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and Harris Hip Score) were measured. RESULTS Of 256 patients (275 hips, 143 men and 113 women) with a mean age of 63 (range, 24-85) years, 48 (19%) patients (52 hips) deceased not related to the surgery after a mean time 49 months (range, 3-118) postoperatively. At >10-year follow-up, 9 THAs were revised. The overall implant survival rate was 96.8% (95% confidence interval, 94.4-98.7) at 10 years. One cup and 1 stem were revised because of aseptic loosening. At the last follow-up, the median Subjective Hip Value was 90% (range, 20-100), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score reached a median of 0.2 points (range, 0-6.3), and the median Harris Hip Score points was 99 (range, 29-100). CONCLUSION Primary THA through an anterior minimal invasive approach with the mentioned implants showed low revision rates and good to excellent clinical outcome after at least 10 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between health-related quality of life and risk of falling, fear of falling, and functional status in patients with hip arthroplasty. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 48 hips of 45 patients who aged between 33 and 79 (53.56 ± 12.50) years and had cementless total hip arthroplasty between 2010 and 2014 were evaluated. Twenty-seven of the patients participated in the study were female (60.0%) and 18 were male (40.0%). Health-related quality of life with Nottingham Health Profile, function of the hip joint with Harris Hip Score, risk of falling with Performance-Oriented Motion Assessment I, and fear of falling with Falls Efficacy Scale were assessed. In addition, chair stand test, 40-m walk test, stair-climb test, and single leg stance test were carried out. In analysing the relationships between these parameters, Pearson correlation analysis was employed. The level of significance was considered as p < 0.05. RESULTS Among the cases, who were evaluated 87.10 ± 45.22 (22.43-214.71) weeks after the operation, a significant correlation was found between health-related quality of life and risk of falling, function of hip joint, and functional tests (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The evaluation of the factors related to health-related quality of life in hip arthroplasty patients may help identify patient needs and guide the rehabilitation process.

Abstract
Objective Avascular necrosis of the hip is a common debilitating disease during the fourth and fifth decades of life. This study attempted to evaluate quality of life in patients with avascular necrosis of the hip joint before and after surgery. Methods In this study, 40 patients with avascular necrosis of the hip who underwent total hip arthroplasty, bipolar surgery, or cord compression were examined during 2006–2013. Harris Hip Score was used to assess the hip joint function and quality of life before and after surgery. The mean scores and standard deviation were used to describe data for quantitative variables, while frequency percentage was used to describe qualitative variables. Data were analyzed through SPSS v.19 and paired t-test. p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results This study involved 40 subjects with a mean age of 32 ± 7.38 years, ranging from 21 to 45 years old. The mean Harris Hip Score for patients before and after surgery were 20.36 and 96.15, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). The average patient activity scores before and after surgery (8.9 and 44.2, respectively), non-deformity (1.6 and 3.9), and movement (3.6 and 4.9) indicated significant differences (p < 0.001). Furthermore, 80% of patients felt no hip joint pain six months after surgery, while 92.5% patients did not use any assistive device to walk. Conclusions The results of this study demonstrated that surgery substantially contributed to relieving pain and improving hip function in patients with osteonecrosis of the hip joint in the short term.

Abstract
Though rare, there are documented failures of femoral prosthesis due to corrosion of the head-neck interface in total hip arthroplasty (THA), a phenomenon known as trunnionosis. This wear can result in metallosis, whereby metal debris scatters the surrounding soft tissues. We present on a 58-year-old female who presented with increase in hip and back pain 10 years following right THA using a metal-on-polyethylene construct with a large femoral head (44 mm). Aspiration withdrew metallic fluid, and intraoperative findings showed corrosion of the head-neck taper with surrounding metallosis and pseudocapsule formation. Despite advances in THA design, corrosion and wear between components still exists and may be cause for failure. We present on both the subtle clinical findings and the recommended workup when suspicion is high for trunnionosis, metallosis, or wear, ideally with identification prior to catastrophic failure such as component dislocation or fracture as previously reported.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the long-term patient-reported outcomes of surgery for superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Adults who have undergone surgery for SCDS with at least 1 year since surgery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Primary outcome: change in symptoms that led to surgery. SECONDARY OUTCOMES change in 11 SCDS-associated symptoms, change in psychosocial metrics, and willingness to recommend surgery to friends with SCDS. RESULTS Ninety-three (43%) respondents completed the survey with mean (SD) time since surgery of 5.3 (3.6) years. Ninety-five percent of respondents reported the symptoms that led them to have surgery were "somewhat better," "much better," or "completely cured." Those with unilateral symptoms were more likely to report improvement than those with bilateral symptoms. There was no difference between those with short (1-5 yr) versus long (5-20 yr) follow-up. Each of the SCDS-associated symptoms showed significant improvement. The largest improvements were for autophony, pulsatile tinnitus, audible bodily sounds, and sensitivity to loud sound. Headaches, imbalance, dizziness, and brain fog showed the least improvements. Most patients reported improvements in quality of life, mood, and ability to function at work and socially. Ninety-five percent of patients would recommend SCDS surgery. CONCLUSIONS Respondents demonstrated durable improvements in the symptoms that led them to have surgery. Auditory symptoms had the greatest improvements. Headaches, imbalance, dizziness, and brain fog showed the least improvements. Nearly, all patients would recommend SCDS surgery to others. These results can be used to counsel patients regarding the lasting benefits of surgery for SCDS.

Abstract
AIM To describe and compare knowledge expectations and received knowledge in elective orthopaedic surgery patients. BACKGROUND Population aging, increasing incidence of osteoarthritis, the growing number of surgical procedures, and reduced clinical stays underline the need for a new approach to patient education. DESIGN This study has a descriptive, comparative design. METHODS Data were collected from 263 patients who had total hip and knee replacement elective surgery during 3 years (2009-2012) in 5 public hospitals in Spain. The Knowledge Expectation of Hospital Patients and the Received Knowledge of Hospital Patients Scales were used to collect data. The questionnaires were filled before hospital admission, at discharge and at follow-up 6 to 7 months later. RESULTS Surgical patients received less knowledge than they expected. Patients' expectations were only met in the functional dimension. At follow-up, patients reported that they perceived having acquired more knowledge during their hospital stay than they reported at the time of discharge. Knowledge expectations and knowledge received were related to employment status, gender, and previous contact experience with the hospital. CONCLUSION Knowledge expectations were not met, and results showed the need to improve education for orthopaedic patients throughout the perioperative process, not only during hospitalization.

Abstract
Dislodgment of trial femoral heads and migration into the pelvis during total hip arthroplasty is a rarely reported complication with limited published cases. There are three primary mechanisms of femoral head separation: dislodgement during reduction attempt, disassociation from anterior dislocation while assessing anterior stability, and during dislocation after implant trialing. If the trial femoral migrates beyond the pelvic brim, it is safer to finish the total hip arthroplasty and address the retained object after repositioning or in a planned second procedure with a general surgeon. We recommend operative retrieval since long-term complications from retention or clinical results are lacking.

Abstract
This study aims to establish joint fluid reference levels for Chromium (Cr) and Cobalt (Co) in a reference population of available fluid types. Method performance was evaluated on an existing urine matrix calibration method using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Method performance characteristics, including intra- and inter-assay imprecision, accuracy, linearity, AMR (analytical measurement range), sensitivity, and carryover were determined in accordance with clinical laboratory standards. Additionally, analytical and clinical recoveries were assessed to investigate comparability between available joint fluid types and existing calibrators prepared in urine to demonstrate acceptability of a matrix-substitution design. 124 de-identified joint fluid samples submitted for unrelated testing were used to establish the reference levels. Reference levels were determined, by using the 97.5th percentile, to be <20.4 µg/L for Cr and <29.9 µg/L for Co. In addition, the presented method overcomes the lack of an ample volume of joint fluid to use for matrix matched calibrators by employing a urine-based calibration curve. The data demonstrate acceptable matrix comparability.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a very successful and effective orthopedic operation with very good immediate as well as long-term results to alleviate pain and improve health-related quality of life. A THA is indicated in end-stage hip osteoarthritis with a high degree of persistent suffering when conservative treatment has failed and in patients who wish a THA. This statement is generally valid for patients where the medical history, clinical examination and radiographic findings are conclusive, the pressure of suffering and the expectations are realistic. The timing of THA is based on the patient's discomfort. The treatment of these patients should include an interdisciplinary approach and the main goal is to improve the quality of life. Patients will learn to have reasonable expectations and should be well informed about the risks and benefits of THA. Realistic patient expectations seem to be a predictive factor for a good subjective outcome after THA.
