Ex vivo storage of human osteochondral allografts: Long-term analysis over 300 days using a Ringer-based solution. J Orthop Res 2024; 42:1719-1726. [PMID: 38440833 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25821] [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: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
Large osteochondral defects are a major challenge in orthopedics, for which osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is nowadays considered as an option, especially in young patients. However, a major issue with OCA is the need for graft storage, which ensures adequate cartilage integrity over time. The aim of this study was to test how long a Ringer-based storage solution can provide good graft quality after explantation and thus meet the requirements for OCA. For this purpose, human osteochondral allografts of the knee and ankle were analyzed. Live/Dead analysis was performed and glycosaminoglycan, as well as hydroxyproline content, were measured as crucial chondrocyte integrity factors. Furthermore, biomechanical tests focusing on stress relaxation and elastic compression modulus were performed. The critical value of 70% living chondrocytes, which corresponds to a number of 300 cells/mm², was reached after an average of 16 weeks of storage. In addition, a constant cell shrinkage was observed over time. The amount of glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyroline showed a slight and constant decrease over time, but no significant differences when compared from Day 0 to the values at Weeks 40-43. Biomechanical testing also revealed no significant differences at the different time points. Therefore, the results show that the Ringer-based storage solution at 4°C is able to provide a chondrocyte survival of 70% until Week 16. This is comparable to previously published storage solutions. Therefore, the study contributes to the establishment of a Ringer-based osteochondral allograft transplantation system for countries where medium-based storage solution cannot be approved.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease reported worldwide. Conventional treatment strategies mainly focus on medication and involve surgical joint replacement. The use of these therapies is limited by gastrointestinal complications and the lifespan of joint prostheses. Hence, safe and efficacious drugs are urgently needed to impede the osteoarthritis progression. Urolithin B, a metabolite of ellagic acid in the gut, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its role in osteoarthritis remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that urolithin B efficiently inhibits the inflammatory factor-induced production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP3 and MMP13) in vitro and upregulates the expression of type II collagen and aggrecan. Urolithin B alleviates cartilage erosion and osteophyte formation induced by anterior cruciate ligament transections. Moreover, urolithin B inhibits the activation of the NF-κB pathway by reducing the phosphorylation of Iκb-α and the nuclear translocation of P65. In summary, urolithin B significantly inhibits inflammation and alleviates osteoarthritis. Hence, urolithin B can be considered a potential agent suitable for the effective treatment of osteoarthritis in the future.

[PMID: 37879423 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.10.034] [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: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Younger age is associated with increased revision incidence following primary total hip arthroplasty, though the association between age and repeat revision following revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) has not been described. This study aimed to describe the incidences and indications for subsequent revision (re-revision) following rTHA based on age. METHODS Patients undergoing aseptic rTHA from 2011 to 2021 with minimum 1-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified into 3 groups based on age at the time of index rTHA (ie, <55 years, 55 to 74 years, and >74 years). Perioperative characteristics, complications, and re-revisions were compared between groups. RESULTS Of 694 included rTHAs, those in the >74 age group were more likely to undergo rTHA for periprosthetic fracture (P < .001) while those in the <55 age group were more likely to undergo rTHA for metallosis/taper corrosion (P = .028). Readmissions (P = .759) and emergency department visits (P = .498) within 90 days were comparable across ages. Rates of re-revision were comparable at 90 days (P = .495), 1 year (P = .443), and 2 years (P = .204). Kaplan-Meier analysis of all-cause re-revision at latest follow-up showed a nonstatistically significant trend toward increasing re-revisions in the <55 and 55 to 74 age groups. Using logistic regressions, smoking and index rTHA for instability were independently associated with re-revision, while age at index surgery was not. CONCLUSIONS While indications for rTHA differ across age groups, rates of 2-year re-revision are statistically comparable between groups. Further studies are warranted to understand the association between age, activity, and re-revision rates after 5 years postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) has been an excellent bearing for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to improved wear characteristics compared to conventional materials. Patients 50 years of age or younger are at high risk for wear-related complications of their THA, and few studies have followed these patients who have HXPLE into the third decade. METHODS In a retrospective review of 88 consecutive THAs performed in 77 patients aged 50 years and younger (mean 41; range, 20 to 50), in which HXLPE was utilized, they were evaluated for their clinical and radiographic results at an average of 20-year follow-up (range, 18 to 24). The current study reports on longer-term follow-up from our previously published series at shorter follow-up times. Patients were categorized by femoral head material: cobalt chrome (n = 14), ceramic (n = 30), and oxidized zirconium (n = 22) and by femoral head size: 26 mm (n = 12), 28 mm (n = 46), and 32 mm (n = 8). Harris Hip Scores were collected preoperatively and at the most recent follow-up. Radiographs were evaluated for linear and volumetric wear, radiolucent lines, and osteolysis. RESULTS Mean Harris Hip Scores improved from 47.1 (standard deviation [SD] 8.8) preoperatively to 92.0 (SD 7.7) (P < .0001) at 20-year follow-up. There was one hip that was revised for recurrent instability, and no hip demonstrated radiographic evidence of loosening or osteolysis. The mean polyethylene linear wear rate was 0.017 (SD 0.012) mm/y, and the mean polyethylene volumetric wear rate was 3.15 (SD 2.8) mm3/year, with no significant differences based on articulation type or head size. CONCLUSIONS Total hip arthroplasty with HXLPE in patients ≤ 50 years of age continues to demonstrate excellent long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes with low wear characteristics at 20-year follow-up, regardless of femoral head material or size.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative arthritis disease marked by inflammation, pain, and cartilage deterioration. Elevated nitric oxide (NO) levels play a pivotal role in mediating OA-related inflammation and are found in abundance within OA joints. This study introduces a NO-scavenging hyaluronic acid conjugate (HA-NSc) bearing both lubrication and anti-inflammatory properties for the treatment of osteoarthritis. For this, a derivative of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) with good NO-scavenging capability (NSc) is designed, synthesized and chemically conjugated to HA. Owing to the amphiphilicity, this as-synthesized HA-NSc conjugate formed self-assembled nanoparticles (HA-NSc NPs) under aqueous conditions. When treated with activated murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells that produce high levels of NO, these nanoparticles effectively reduced intracellular NO concentrations and inflammatory cytokines. In an OA animal model, the HA-NSc NPs significantly alleviated pain and diminished the cartilage damage due to the combined lubricating property of HA and NO-scavenging ability of NSc. Overall, the results from the study suggest HA-NSc NPs as a dual-action therapeutic agent for the treatment of OA by alleviating pain, inflammation, and joint damage, and also positioning the HA-NSc NPs as a promising candidate for innovative treatment of OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) acetabular bearing surfaces have appeared to offer excellent wear resistance, low incidence of wear-related osteolysis, and high implant survivorship at 10-year to 15-year follow-up. However, concerns over potential performance deterioration at longer-term follow-up remain - particularly in younger patients - and outcome data into the third decade have not been available. METHODS We retrospectively assessed 62 patients (68 hips) who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at age ≤50 years with a single manufacturer's cementless components, remelted HXLPE liner, and small diameter (26 and 28 millimeter) cobalt-chromium (CoCr) femoral heads at minimum 18-year follow-up. We assessed clinical outcomes (modified Harris Hip score, University of California Los Angeles Activity Score, polyethylene wear rates, radiographic findings (osteolysis, component loosening), and implant survivorship. RESULTS At 20.6-year mean follow-up (range, 18 to 23 years) modified Harris Hip scores for surviving hips remained an average of 41 points above preoperative baseline (49 versus 90, P < .001) and UCLA scores 2.8 points above baseline (3.7 versus 6.4, P < .001). Wear analysis revealed a population linear wear rate of 0.0142 mm/y (standard deviation (SD), 0.0471) and volumetric wear rate of 10.14 mm3/y (SD, 23.41). Acetabular lysis was noted in 2 asymptomatic hips at 16.6 and 18.4 years. No components were radiographically loose. Survivorship free from wear-related revision was 100% at 20 years (97% free from any revision). CONCLUSION The HXLPE-CoCr bearing couple with small femoral heads continues to be extremely effective 20 years after primary THA in the younger patient population.

Abstract
Complex articular cartilage loss in the knee is being diagnosed more frequently and earlier in life, and patients are faced with major decisions regarding invasive surgical interventions at increasingly younger ages. There is a critical unmet need to provide patient-centered comparative effectiveness research for the hundreds of thousands of patients faced with these treatment decisions each year. Toward filling the need, we developed the Patient AdvisoR Team iN Orthopaedic ReSearch (PARTNORS) program. We recruited a diverse group of patients and caregivers with lived experiences in dealing with complex knee problems to define patient-centered research priorities for comparative biological and artificial knee surgery research for middle-aged adults. Adapting the Stakeholder Engagement in Question Development and Prioritization Method, PARTNORS defined a 20-question list of patient-centered research questions of factors influencing a patients' choice between biological and artificial knee surgeries. The highest prioritized research question related to functional level postsurgery as it relates to daily activities and recreational activities. The second highest prioritized research questions related to insurance coverage and financial costs. Other prioritized research areas included caregiving needs, implant longevity, recovery and rehabilitation time, patient satisfaction and success rates, individual characteristics, and risks. By engaging a group of patients and caregivers and including them as members of a multidisciplinary research team, comparative effectiveness research that includes patient-centered factors that go beyond typical clinical success indicators for knee surgery can be designed to allow physicians and patients to work together toward evidence-based shared decisions. This shared decision-making process helps to align patients' and health care team's goals and expectations to improve outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The stressors that National Football League (NFL) athletes face are well-described and documented with regard to multisystem afflictions and injury prevalence. However, the majority of literature discusses the short-term effects rather than long-term outcomes of playing professional football. The purpose of this study was to characterize the long-term musculoskeletal issues in the retired NFL population. METHODS Publications from CENTRAL, Scopus, Medline, PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from database inception to February 2021. A total of 9 cohort studies evaluating lower extremity arthritis in retired NFL athletes were included for review. Two reviewers extracted data from the individual studies, including demographic information (age, body mass index, length of career, position), injury descriptions (location of injury, number of injuries, diagnoses), and procedure (total knee and or hip arthroplasty) frequency. RESULTS Arthritis in retired NFL players was more than twice as prevalent than the general United States male population (95% CI: 2.1-2.3). Ankle osteoarthritis was directly correlated with the number of foot and ankle injuries. Players <50 years of age had a 16.1 and 13.8 times higher risk of undergoing TKA and THA, respectively, when compared to the general population. In older age groups, this trend held with retired NFL players being at least 4.3 and 4.6 times more likely than members of the general population to undergo TKA and THA, respectively. CONCLUSION This review demonstrates that the effects of NFL-related lower extremity injuries extend beyond the players' careers and present a higher risk for early-onset osteoarthritis and overall frequency of undergoing total knee and hip arthroplasty.

Standardized Fixation Zones and Cone Assessments for Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Deep Learning. J Arthroplasty 2023; 38:S259-S265.e2. [PMID: 36791885 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving adequate implant fixation is critical to optimize survivorship and postoperative outcomes after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Three anatomical zones (ie, epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) have been proposed to assess fixation, but are not well-defined. The purpose of the study was to develop a deep learning workflow capable of automatically delineating rTKA zones and cone placements in a standardized way on postoperative radiographs. METHODS A total of 235 patients who underwent rTKA were randomly partitioned (6:2:2 training, validation, and testing split), and a U-Net segmentation workflow was developed to delineate rTKA fixation zones and assess revision cone placement on anteroposterior radiographs. Algorithm performance for zone delineation and cone placement were compared against ground truths from a fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeon using the dice segmentation coefficient and accuracy metrics. RESULTS On the testing cohort, the algorithm defined zones in 98% of images (8 seconds/image) using anatomical landmarks. The dice segmentation coefficient between the model and surgeon was 0.89 ± 0.08 (interquartile range [IQR]:0.88-0.94) for femoral zones, 0.91 ± 0.08 (IQR: 0.91-0.95) for tibial zones, and 0.90 ± 0.05 (IQR:0.88-0.94) for all zones. Cone identification and zonal cone placement accuracy were 98% and 96%, respectively, for the femur and 96% and 89%, respectively, for the tibia. CONCLUSION A deep learning algorithm was developed to automatically delineate revision zones and cone placements on postoperative rTKA radiographs in an objective, standardized manner. The performance of the algorithm was validated against a trained surgeon, suggesting that the algorithm demonstrated excellent predictive capabilities in accordance with relevant anatomical landmarks used by arthroplasty surgeons in practice.

Association between outpatient follow-up and incidence of revision after knee and hip replacements: a population-based cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:106. [PMID: 36750857 PMCID: PMC9906879 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06190-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Follow-up visits 5 or 7 years after surgery were recommended for people having primary hip or knee replacement. The benefits of this practice to patients and the healthcare system, however, have not yet been specifically examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between long-term follow-up outpatient hospital visits and revision rates for patients who undergo primary knee or hip replacement surgery. METHODS Cohorts were identified for patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery using medical records from primary care practices within the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) GOLD dataset linked to hospital records from the English Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) data. Two groups of patients were compared in terms of revision and mortality rates: those with at least one long-term (between five and 10 years since primary surgery) follow-up visit at the orthopaedic department ('Follow-up' group), and those without ('No follow-up' group). RESULTS A total of 9856 (4349 in the Follow-up group) patients with knee replacement and 10,837 (4870 in the Follow-up group) with hip replacement were included in the analysis. For knee replacement, the incidence of revision was 3.6% for those followed-up and 0.6% for those not followed-up. An adjusted regression model confirmed the difference in the hazard ratio (HR) for revision was statistically significant (HR: 5.65 [95% CI 3.62 to 8.81]). Mortality at 4 years was lower for the Follow-up (17%) compared to the No follow-up group (21%), but this difference was not statistically significant (HR: 0.95 [0.84 to 1.07]). For hip replacement, the incidence of revision rates were 3.2 and 1.4% for the follow-up and not follow-up groups, respectively, the difference being statistically significant (HR: 2.34 [1.71 to 3.20]). Mortality was lower for the Follow-up (15%) compared to the No follow-up group (21%), but the difference was not statistically significant (HR: 0.91 [0.81 to 1.02]). CONCLUSION Patients attending follow-up orthopaedic consultations show a higher risk of revision surgery compared to those who are not followed-up. A cause for this difference could not be identified in this study but a likely explanation is that surgeons play an effective role as ultimate arbitrators when identifying patients to be included in long-term follow-up lists.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Conventional Polyethylene in Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients: Heightened Wear-Related Complications Are Observed at the Beginning of the Third Decade. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:1816-1821. [PMID: 35460812 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional polyethylene (CPE) was used widely in the past as a bearing surface in total hip arthroplasty (THA). As CPE THAs age and the revision burden continues to grow, it is increasingly important to understand the durability and failure mechanisms of this bearing material. Currently, such long-term data remain limited, particularly in younger, more active patients in whom wear issues are of greater concern. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 90 hips (77 patients) that underwent primary THA with CPE bearings on cobalt chrome femoral heads at age ≤50 years at 20-year minimum follow-up (mean 21.6 [20-23]). We analyzed polyethylene wear rates, clinical outcomes (modified Harris Hip Score, University of California, Los Angeles Activity Score), and implant survivorship. RESULTS Wear analysis revealed a median linear wear rate of 0.113 mm/y (95% CI 0.102-0.148) and a median volumetric wear rate of 41.20 mm3/y (95% CI 43.5-61.0). Modified Harris Hip Scores remained 37 points above preoperative baseline (P < .001) and University of California, Los Angeles scores 1.4 points above baseline (P = .018) at 21.6-year mean follow-up. Twenty-nine hips (32.2%) were revised, 20 of which (22.2%) were wear-related at a median of 15.4 years (interquartile range 11.4-19.5). Survivorship free from wear-related revision was 95.6% (95% CI 88.7-98.3), 87.9% (78.6-93.3), 78.1% (49.6-66.5), and 61.1% (41.3-67.0) at 10, 15, 20, and 25 years. CONCLUSION Wear-related issues developed at increasingly high rates after 15 years, suggesting the need for surveillance after this time. The long-term wear and survivorship data of this study may be used as a benchmark when evaluating the performance of contemporary bearings in young, active THA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No studies have compared patient satisfaction between periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis (OA) secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in Asian cohorts. METHODS Multivariate analyses were applied to determine whether patient demographics and postoperative patient-reported outcomes were correlated with postoperative patient satisfaction in 737 DDH patients (251 PAO and 486 THA patients). Additionally, postoperative patient satisfaction, Oxford Hip Score (OHS), University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, and sports participation were compared between propensity-matched PAO and THA patients for OA secondary to DDH (Kellgren-Lawrence grade II: 32 PAO and 16 THA patients, grade III: 20 PAO and 40 THA patients). RESULTS Of the 737 patients, 663 patients (90%) were postoperatively satisfied. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that THA was positively correlated with patient satisfaction. Furthermore, high postoperative OHS-pain, OHS-ADL, and UCLA scores were positively correlated with satisfaction. In propensity-matched PAO and THA patients, PAO elicited greater patient satisfaction than THA for KL grade II OA secondary to DDH, with comparable postoperative OHS (including the pain and ADL subscale), UCLA score, and sports participation rate. In contrast, THA resulted in better satisfaction and OHS-pain for KL grade III OA secondary to DDH, with comparable postoperative OHS-ADL, UCLA score, and sports participation rate in the 2 surgeries. CONCLUSIONS Both PAO and THA procedures offer distinct patient satisfaction advantages based on preoperative OA severity. These findings can assist in the clinical decision-making process for the surgical treatment of middle-aged patients with symptomatic DDH.

J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:303-311. [PMID: 34718107 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As indications for elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) expand to younger patients, we sought to (1) compare revision risk following primary elective THA in patients <55 years at the time of their THA to patients aged ≥65 years and (2) identify specific risk factors for revision in patients <55 years. METHODS A Kaiser Permanente's total joint replacement registry was used to conduct a cohort study including primary elective THA patients aged ≥18 (2001-2018). In total, 11,671 patients <55 years and 53,106 patients ≥65 years were included. Multiple Cox regression was used to evaluate cause-specific revision risk, including septic revision, aseptic loosening, instability, and periprosthetic fracture. Stepwise Cox regression was used to identify patient and surgical factors associated with cause-specific revision in patients <55 years. RESULTS Patients <55 years had a higher risk of septic revision (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02-1.66), aseptic loosening (HR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.99-3.40), and instability (HR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.09-1.68), but a lower risk of revision for periprosthetic fracture (HR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.22-0.59) compared to patients aged ≥65 years. In the <55 age group, risk factors for septic revision included higher body mass index, drug abuse, and liver disease. Hypertension, anterior approach, and ceramic-on-ceramic were associated with aseptic loosening. White race, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification ≥3, smoker, paralysis, posterior approach, ceramic-on-ceramic, and smaller head diameter were associated with instability. CONCLUSION Identified risk factors varied depending on the cause for revision. Although septic revisions were related to patient characteristics, more modifiable factors, such as implant or surgical approach, were associated with revision due to aseptic loosening and instability.

Abstract
Background Few studies on the outcomes of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) in Asian populations have been reported. In addition, approximately one-third of primary aTSA were performed for patients 80 years or older in Japan, but the indication of aTSA for the primary shoulder osteoarthritis in the elderly population remained unclear. The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate clinical outcomes of aTSA in Japanese patients with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis and (2) to compare clinical outcomes between patients 80 years or older and 70 years or younger. We hypothesized that aTSA would yield favorable outcomes in Japanese patients and that the outcomes of aTSA in patients 80 years or older would be comparable to those 70 years or younger. Methods Patient records were retrospectively reviewed to collect patients who underwent aTSA for glenohumeral osteoarthritis between August 2011 and September 2017. The inclusion criterion of this study was aTSA performed for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) secondary osteoarthritis, (2) revision surgery, and (3) < 24-month follow-up. Range of motion (ROM) and Constant score were evaluated, and complications were investigated. Rotator cuff integrity was assessed by ultrasonography. We compared the outcomes between patients 80 years or older and 70 years or younger. Results Seventy-seven shoulders (72 patients) met the study criteria. There were 14 men and 58 women with a mean age of 75 years (range, 57-93 years) at the time of surgery. The mean follow-up was 40 months (range, 24-84 months). The Constant score significantly improved from preoperative 54 (range, 35-78) to postoperative 89 (range 69-100, P = .03). Range of motion also showed significant improvement after surgery: flexion, 90° (range, 60°-130°) to 140° (range, 90°-170°); external rotation at the side, from 7° (range, -10 to 60°) to 40° (range, 5°-70°); internal rotation, from buttock (range, buttock-L3) to L2 level (range, buttock-T8) (P <.001 for all). Postoperative subscapularis tendon tears were detected in 3 shoulders (5%). Complications other than rotator cuff tears were observed in 5 shoulders (6%). Postoperative Constant score and ROM significantly improved in both elderly and younger patients without significant differences. Conclusion The clinical outcomes after aTSA in the Japanese population demonstrated significant improvements in ROM and Constant score with a low complication rate in the mid-term follow-up. aTSA should be indicated even in elderly patients because they also demonstrated comparable outcomes to younger patients.

Abstract
Background and purpose - A lifetime perspective on revision risks is needed for optimal timing of arthroplasty in osteoarthritis (OA) patients, weighing the benefit of total hip arthroplasty/total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) against the risk of revision, after which outcomes are less favorable. Therefore, we provide population-based 10-year cumulative revision risks stratified by joint, sex, fixation type, and age.Patients and methods - Data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) was used. Primary THAs and TKAs for OA between 2007 and 2018 were included, except metal-on-metal prostheses or hybrid/reversed hybrid fixation. Revision surgery was defined as any change of 1 or more prosthesis components. The 10-year cumulative revision risks were calculated stratified by joint, age, sex, at primary arthroplasty, and fixation type (cemented/uncemented), taking into account mortality as a competing risk. We estimated the percentage of potentially avoidable revisions assuming all OA patients aged < 75 received primary THA/TKA 5 years later while keeping age-specific 10-year revision risks constant.Results - 214,638 primary THAs and 211,099 TKAs were included, of which 31% of THAs and 95% of TKAs were cemented. The 10-year cumulative revision risk varied between 1.6% and 13%, with higher risks in younger age categories. Delaying prosthesis placement by 5 years could potentially avoid 23 (3%) THA and 162 (17%) TKA revisions.Interpretation - Cumulative 10- year revision risk varied considerably by age in both fixation groups, which may be communicated to patients and used to guide timing of surgery.

Abstract
AIMS Joint registries typically use revision of an implant as an endpoint and report survival rates after a defined number of years. However, reporting lifetime risk of revision may be more meaningful, especially in younger patients. We aimed to assess lifetime risk of revision for patients in defined age groups at the time of primary surgery. METHODS The New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) was used to obtain rates and causes of revision for all primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed between January 1999 and December 2016. The NZJR is linked to the New Zealand Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to obtain complete and accurate data. Patients were stratified by age at primary surgery, and lifetime risk of revision calculated according to age, sex, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification. The most common causes for revision were also analyzed for each age group. RESULTS The overall, ten-year implant survival rate was 93.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 93.4% to 93.8%). It was lowest in the youngest age group (46 to 50 years), rising sequentially with increasing age to 97.5% in the oldest group (90 to 95 years). Lifetime risk of revision surgery was 27.6% (95% CI 27.3% to 27.8%) in those aged 46 to 50 years, decreasing with age to 1.1% (95% CI 0.0% to 5.8%) in those aged 90 to 95 years at the time of primary surgery. Higher ASA grades were associated with an increased lifetime risk of revision across all ages. The commonest causes for revision THA were aseptic loosening, infection, periprosthetic fracture, and dislocation. CONCLUSION When counselling patients preoperatively, the lifetime risk of revision may be a more meaningful and useful measure of longer-term outcome than implant survival at defined time periods. This study highlights the considerably increased likelihood of subsequent revision surgery in younger age groups. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(3):479-485.

Abstract
Background: Return to sport (RTS) after osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation for large unipolar femoral condyle defects has been consistent, but many athletes are affected by more severe lesions. Purpose: To examine outcomes for athletes who have undergone large single-surface, multisurface, or bipolar shell OCA transplantation in the knee. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Data from a prospective OCA transplantation registry were assessed for athletes who underwent knee transplantation for the first time (primary transplant) between June 2015 and March 2018 for injury or overuse-related articular defects. Inclusion criteria were preinjury Tegner level ≥5 and documented type and level of sport (or elite unit active military duty); in addition, patients were required to have a minimum of 1-year follow-up outcomes, including RTS data. Patient characteristics, surgery type, Tegner level, RTS, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), compliance with rehabilitation, revisions, and failures were assessed and compared for statistically significant differences. Results: There were 37 included athletes (mean age, 34 years; range, 15-69 years; mean body mass index, 26.2 kg/m2; range, 18-35 kg/m2) who underwent large single-surface (n = 17), multisurface (n = 4), or bipolar (n = 16) OCA transplantation. The highest preinjury median Tegner level was 9 (mean, 7.9 ± 1.7; range, 5-10). At the final follow-up, 25 patients (68%) had returned to sport; 17 (68%) returned to the same or higher level of sport compared with the highest preinjury level. The median time to RTS was 16 months (range, 7-26 months). Elite unit military, competitive collegiate, and competitive high school athletes returned at a significantly higher proportion (P < .046) than did recreational athletes. For all patients, the Tegner level at the final follow-up (median, 6; mean, 6.1 ± 2.7; range, 1-10) was significantly lower than that at the highest preinjury level (P = .007). PROMs were significantly improved at the final follow-up compared with preoperative levels and reached or exceeded clinically meaningful differences. OCA revisions were performed in 2 patients (5%), and failures requiring total knee arthroplasty occurred in 2 patients (5%), all of whom were recreational athletes. Noncompliance was documented in 4 athletes (11%) and was 15.5 times more likely (P = .049) to be associated with failure or a need for revision than for compliant patients. Conclusion: Large single-surface, multisurface, or bipolar shell OCA knee transplantations in athletes resulted in two-thirds of these patients returning to sport at 16 to 24 months after transplantation. Combined, the revision and failure rates were 10%; thus, 90% of patients were considered to have successful 2- to 4-year outcomes with significant improvements in pain and function, even when patients did not RTS.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to elucidate the optimal age for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), to optimize the balance between the benefits and risks by analyzing patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM), revision rate, and mortality according to age. MATERIALS AND METHODS A rigorous and systematic approach was used and each of the selected studies was evaluated for methodological quality. Data were extracted according to the following: study design, patients enrolled, patient age at the time of surgery, follow-up period, PROM, revision rate, and mortality. RESULTS Thirty-nine articles were included in the final analysis. The results were inconsistent in the PROM analysis, but there was consensus that PROM were good in patients in their 70s . In the revision rate analysis, there was consensus that the revision rate tends to increase in TKA in younger patients, but no significant difference was observed in patients > 70 years of age. In the mortality analysis, there was consensus that the mortality was not significantly different in patients < 80 years of age, but tended to increase with age. CONCLUSION This systematic review shows that the PROM were good when TKA was performed in patients between 70 and 80 years of age; the best PROM could be achieved around 70 years of age, and no significant difference in the revision or mortality rates was observed between 70 and 80 years of age; however, mortality tended to increase with age. Therefore, the early 70s could be recommended as an optimal age to undergo TKA.

Abstract
The joint is an organ with each tissue playing critical roles in health and disease. Intact articular cartilage is an exquisite tissue that withstands incredible biologic and biomechanical demands in allowing movement and function, which is why hyaline cartilage must be maintained within a very narrow range of biochemical composition and morphologic architecture to meet demands while maintaining health and integrity. Unfortunately, insult, injury, and/or aging can initiate a cascade of events that result in erosion, degradation, and loss of articular cartilage such that joint pain and dysfunction ensue. Importantly, articular cartilage pathology affects the health of the entire joint and therefore should not be considered or addressed in isolation. Treating articular cartilage lesions is challenging because left alone, the tissue is incapable of regeneration or highly functional and durable repair. Nonoperative treatments can alleviate symptoms associated with cartilage pathology but are not curative or lasting. Current surgical treatments range from stimulation of intrinsic repair to whole-surface and whole-joint restoration. Unfortunately, there is a relative paucity of prospective, randomized controlled, or well-designed cohort-based clinical trials with respect to cartilage repair and restoration surgeries, such that there is a gap in knowledge that must be addressed to determine optimal treatment strategies for this ubiquitous problem in orthopedic health care. This review article discusses the basic science rationale and principles that influence pathology, symptoms, treatment algorithms, and outcomes associated with articular cartilage defects in the knee.

Abstract
Background Accurate localization of the surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the most reliable anatomical reference for femoral rotation, has long been a challenge, primarily because it is intractable to locate the center of the sulcus of the medial epicondyle. This study aimed to introduce and verify a novel method to locate the sTEA more precisely. Methods This study included 26 adult femoral specimens and 80 adult patients with computed tomography (CT) scan data. Three dimensions (3D) models based on CT scans of the distal femurs were reconstructed with Mimics and imported into Geomagic Studio. The 3D color map method was applied to locate the sTEA. To further verify the accuracy of the method, the identified sTEA was transferred to the femoral specimens and compared with the points identified by the total station machine. We further compared the recognition rate of sTEA between 3D color map method and two-dimensional (2D) CT slices method. The repeatability of this novel method was also evaluated. Results The 3D color map method located the centers of the sulcus of the medial epicondyle and the most prominent point of the lateral epicondyle of all the femoral specimens, which were further identified and confirmed by patient-specific guide plates and total station machine on femoral specimens. The 3D color map method achieved a recognition rate of up to 96.23%, while the recognition rate of the 2D CT slices method was only 68.87%. The repeatability of this objective method was excellent. Conclusions The results of this study indicated that the 3D color map method could be used to accurately and objectively locate the sTEA, with high repeatability and recognition rate. However, the proposed novel method requires further validation in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate quantification of bone loss facilitates preoperative planning and standardization for research purposes in patients who undergo revision TKA. The most commonly used classification to rate bone defects in this setting, the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute classification, does not quantify diaphyseal bone loss and reliability has not been well studied. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We developed a new classification scheme to rate bone defects in patients undergoing revision TKA and tested (1) the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of this classification for revision TKA based on preoperative radiographs, and (2) whether additional CT images might improve interobserver reliability. METHODS This was a preregistered observational study. Interobserver reliability was analyzed using preoperative radiographs of 61 patients who underwent (repeat) revision TKA, and their bone defects were rated by five experienced orthopaedic surgeons. For intraobserver reliability, ratings were repeated at least 2 weeks after the first rating (Timepoints 1 and 2). Directly after the radiographic assessments of Timepoint 2, the observers were provided with CT images of each patient and asked to rate the bone defects for a third time (Timepoint 3), to assess the additional value of CT. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability were tested using Gwet's agreement coefficient 2, which is a measure of agreement between observers in categorical data. Substantial agreement was defined as coefficients between 0.61 to 0.8 and almost perfect agreement as > 0.8. RESULTS The intraobserver reliability varied between 0.55 (95% CI 0.40 to 0.71) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.78 to 0.96) in the epiphysis, between 0.69 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.80) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.95 to 1) in the metaphysis, and between 0.95 (95% CI 0.90 to 0.99) and 0.99 (95% CI 0.98 to 1) in the diaphysis. The interobserver reliability varied between 0.48 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.57) and 0.49 (95% CI 0.42 to 0.56) in the epiphysis and between 0.81 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.87) and 0.88 (95% CI 0.83 to 0.93) in the metaphysis, and was 0.96 (95% CI 0.93 to 0.99) in the diaphysis at Timepoint 1. The interobserver reliability at Timepoint 2 was similar to that of Timepoint 1. The addition of CT images did not improve reliability (Timepoint 3). CONCLUSIONS The bone defect classification was less reliable in the epiphyseal area compared with the metaphysis and diaphysis. This finding may be explained by prosthetic components obscuring this region or the more severe bone defects in this region. The addition of CT scans did not improve reliability. Further testing of reliability with observers from other institutions is necessary, as well as validity testing, by testing the classification in relation to intraoperative findings.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of the set up for an arthroplasty care practitioner (ACP)-led virtual orthopaedic clinic (VOC). Suitable patients attend a local hospital for an X-ray and complete a questionnaire, but do not physically attend a clinic. This has been running successfully in a university teaching hospital and has led to cost savings, a reduction in outpatient waiting times and high levels of patient satisfaction. Similar clinics have the potential to become normal practice across the NHS. This article outlines the steps necessary to implement a successful VOC. The lessons learnt during this exercise may be useful for other ACPs when setting up a VOC.

Abstract
Background: Osteochondral and meniscal allograft transplantation have been performed in the knee for more than 40 years, with the number of patients treated each year growing as allograft quantity and quality increase. To date, the effects of postoperative management on outcomes after these procedures have received relatively little focus in the peer-reviewed literature. Hypothesis: Compliance with the recommended postoperative management protocol will be associated with significantly higher initial success and significantly lower revision and failure rates for patients undergoing osteochondral and/or meniscal allograft transplantation in the knee. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Patients were prospectively enrolled into a dedicated registry designed to follow outcomes after osteochondral and/or meniscal allograft transplantation. Patients were included when at least 1 year of follow-up data were available, including data on complications and reoperations, patient-reported outcome measures, compliance with rehabilitation, revisions, or failures, based on the electronic medical record and communication logs with patients’ outpatient physical therapists. Results: For patients meeting the inclusion criteria (N = 162), compliance with the prescribed procedure-specific postoperative management protocol was associated with significantly higher 1- to 3-year success and significantly lower revision and failure rates. Specifically, patients who were compliant were 6.3 times less likely to need allograft revision or total knee arthroplasty and 7.5 times more likely to have a successful outcome at 1 to 3 years after osteochondral and/or meniscal allograft transplantation. In addition to noncompliance, older patient age and higher body mass index were associated with inferior short-term outcomes in this cohort. Conclusion: These data suggest that compliance with procedure-specific postoperative rehabilitation protocols is associated with higher success, lower revision, and lower failure rates for patients undergoing osteochondral and meniscal allograft transplantation. Given these results showing the importance of these modifiable risk factors, our center has devoted resources to preoperative patient assessment and communication to provide education, set appropriate expectations, identify and address modifiable risk factors, impediments, and noncompliance, and monitor and adjust postoperative care as indicated.

Abstract
Purpose With improved survival after chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), it is imperative to maintain good quality of life as part of the management of post-therapy adverse effects. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) is one such adverse effect. A need exists for a therapy that ameliorates discomfort, provides a productive life, is cost effective, and is joint preservative. We conducted the current study to evaluate the response to bisphosphonate in the nonsurgical management of AVNFH in adolescents and young adults (AYA) who receive treatment for ALL. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective study of 20 AYA patients—34 affected hips—who received zolendronic acid 5 mg intravenously each year along with oral alendronate 70 mg weekly for 3 years. Clinical evaluation was performed by using the Visual Analog Scale and the Harris Hip Score. Radiographs were used to classify the Ficat-Arlet stage, monitor radiologic collapse, and evaluate the rate of progression. Results Pain relief with a drop in the Visual Analog Scale score was observed at a mean duration of 5.2 weeks (range, 3 weeks to 11 weeks) after the start of therapy. Radiologic progression by one grade was observed in 12 hips (35.3%), and only one hip (2.94%) showed progression by two grades. At a mean follow-up of 50.3 months, 31 affected hips (91.1%) had a satisfactory clinical outcome and had not required any surgical intervention. The proportion of hips that required total hip arthroplasty were 0%, 5%, and 22.2% in Ficat-Arlet stage I, II, and III, respectively. Conclusion The combination of intravenous zolendronic acid and oral alendronate provides a pragmatic solution for the management of AVNFH after therapy for ALL in AYA patients. This therapy is safe, effective, and well tolerated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of literature on contemporary aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty in patients ≤50 years. We sought to determine risk factors for failure in this population, with specific emphasis on survivorship free of (1) all-cause re-revision and (2) re-revision for instability. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 135 nononcologic revision total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed from 2000 to 2012 in patients ≤50 years. Mean age was 43 years, and mean body mass index was 31 kg/m2. Mean follow-up was 7 years. There were 99 (73%) first-time revisions, and 36 (27%) with prior revisions. Indications for revision included instability (47%), aseptic loosening (29%), and arthrofibrosis (9%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors. RESULTS Survivorship free of all-cause re-revision was 66% at 10 years, with multiply revised TKAs (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.6, P = .008) having the poorest survivorship. Forty-three (32%) TKAs underwent re-revision including 10 (7%) for periprosthetic joint infection. Survivorship free of re-revision for instability was 88% at 10 years, with revision for instability (HR = 19, P = .03), male gender (HR = 3.0, P = .05), and multiply revised TKAs (HR = 3.5, P = .03) having poorer survival. Of the 64 TKAs revised for instability, 24 (38%) underwent re-revision, including 14 (22%) for recurrent instability. CONCLUSION Patients ≤50 years undergoing contemporary aseptic revision TKA had a 1 in 3 risk of re-revision. Patients specifically revised for instability or had prior TKA revisions had the highest risk of re-revision at 10 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some prior reports of total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy have shown high rates of aseptic loosening. As such, the goal of this study was to analyze the outcomes of contemporary total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy, with particular emphasis on survivorship free from aseptic loosening, any revision, and any reoperation; complications; radiographic results; and clinical outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 207 patients who underwent 231 total knee arthroplasties using cemented prostheses after high tibial osteotomy from 2000 to 2012 through our total joint registry: 87% were after a closing-wedge osteotomy and 13% were after an opening-wedge osteotomy. The mean follow-up from total knee arthroplasty was 8 years. At the time of the total knee arthroplasty, the mean age was 64 years and the mean body mass index was 31 kg/m. The majority of total knee arthroplasties had a posterior-stabilized design (93%), and 4% had a varus-valgus constraint design. Tibial stems were utilized in 8% of cases. Bivariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were utilized to analyze risk factors for poorer survival. RESULTS At 10 years, survivorship free from aseptic loosening was 97%, survivorship free from any revision was 90%, and survivorship free from any reoperation was 85%. Fifteen patients (15 total knee arthroplasties [6%]) underwent aseptic revision, most commonly for instability (3%), aseptic loosening (2%), and periprosthetic fracture (1%). On bivariate analysis, patient age of <60 years was a significant risk factor for poorer revision-free survival (hazard ratio, 2.9; p = 0.02); on multivariate analysis, younger age was the only significant risk factor for revision (p = 0.04). There were 14 complications (6%), the most common being a manipulation under anesthesia in 9 cases (4%). No unrevised total knee arthroplasties had definitive radiographic evidence of loosening. Knee Society scores improved from a mean preoperative score of 59 points to a mean postoperative score of 93 points (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Contemporary total knee arthroplasty with a cemented prosthesis after high tibial osteotomy demonstrated excellent long-term durability, with 10-year survivorship free from aseptic loosening of 97%. There was reliable improvement in clinical outcomes, but perfect knee balance was sometimes challenging, as reflected by a 4% prevalence of manipulation under anesthesia and a 3% prevalence of revision for instability.

Abstract
Aims There is little literature about total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after distal femoral osteotomy (DFO). Consequently, the purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of TKA after DFO, with particular emphasis on: survivorship free from aseptic loosening, revision, or any re-operation; complications; radiological results; and clinical outcome. Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 29 patients (17 women, 12 men) from our total joint registry who had undergone 31 cemented TKAs after a DFO between 2000 and 2012. Their mean age at TKA was 51 years (22 to 76) and their mean body mass index 32 kg/m2 (20 to 45). The mean time between DFO and TKA was ten years (2 to 20). The mean follow-up from TKA was ten years (2 to 16). The prostheses were posterior-stabilized in 77%, varus-valgus constraint (VVC) in 13%, and cruciate-retaining in 10%. While no patient had metaphyseal fixation (e.g. cones or sleeves), 16% needed a femoral stem. Results The ten-year survivorship was 95% with aseptic loosening as the endpoint, 88% with revision for any reason as the endpoint, and 81% with re-operation for any reason as the endpoint. Three TKAs were revised for instability (n = 2) and aseptic tibial loosening (n = 1). No femoral component was revised for aseptic loosening. Patients under the age of 50 years were at greater risk of revision for any reason (hazard ratio 7; p = 0.03). There were two additional re-operations (6%) and four complications (13%), including three manipulations under anaesthetic (MUA; 10%). The Knee Society scores improved from a mean of 50 preoperatively (32 to 68) to a mean of 93 postoperatively (76 to 100; p < 0.001). Conclusion A cemented posterior-stabilized TKA has an 88% ten-year survivorship with revision for any reason as the endpoint. No femoral component was revised for aseptic loosening. Patients under the age of 50 years have a greater risk of revision. The clinical outcome was significantly improved but balancing the knee was challenging in 13% of TKAs requiring VVC. Overall, 10% of TKAs needed an MUA, and 6% of TKAs were revised for instability. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:660–666.

Agarwala S, Vijayvargiya M. Bisphosphonate combination therapy for non-femoral avascular necrosis. J Orthop Surg Res 2019; 14:112. [PMID: 31018848 PMCID: PMC6480654 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-019-1152-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Avascular necrosis at sites other than femoral head (AVNOFH)/Non-Femoral AVN is a rare entity. No standard of treatment still exists for treating early stages of AVNOFH with most of the cases eventually progressing to a late arthritic stage needing surgical intervention. Bisphosphonates have been shown to prevent disease progression, bone collapse, and the requirement for surgery in avascular necrosis of femoral head. The present study is conducted to evaluate the response of bisphosphonates in the non-surgical management of the early stages of AVNOFH. Materials and methods Prospectively collected data of 20 patients diagnosed with an early stage of AVNOFH and treated with the combination of oral alendronate 70 mg weekly and intravenous zolendronic acid (ZA) for 1 year, between Jan 2009 to Dec 2015, was evaluated retrospectively. Clinical evaluation was done using the visual analogue scale (VAS), mean analgesic requirement, and range of motion. Radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were taken to classify the stage of AVN, monitor radiological collapse, and evaluate radiological progression and bone marrow edema changes. Results In our analysis of 18 patients (2 lost to follow-up), 5 patients had AVN of the humeral head, 4 patients of the talus, 3 of the lunate, and 2 each of the scaphoid, medial tibial plateau, and second metatarsal head. Pain relief with the drop in VAS score was seen at a mean duration of 4.3 weeks (range 3–13 weeks) after the start of therapy. A 50% reduction in mean analgesic requirement was achieved in the first 6 weeks (2-11 weeks). MRI showed complete resolution of BME in 13 patients at 6 months and in 17 patients (94.4%) at 1 year. Radiological collapse was seen in 6 out of 18 patients at a mean follow-up of 35.3 months (range 14–56 months). Only one out of 18 patients enrolled required surgery. Conclusion A combination of oral alendronate and intravenous zolendronic acid provides a pragmatic solution to this rare entity of AVNOFH, where no standard treatment exists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Younger patients are undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) for various conditions that affect the hip joint. This study evaluates the implant survival and long-term patient-reported outcomes of THA in patients aged 35 years or younger. METHODS Data were collected through a retrospective chart review, and follow-up surveys were conducted to determine implant survival and patient-reported outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate implant survival, and the hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) was used to describe patient-reported outcomes. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize baseline and follow-up data, and univariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare implant survival and patient-reported outcomes. RESULTS This study included 400 patients (548 THAs). The average age at the time of surgery was 27 (range: 8-35) years, and the mean time to follow-up was 14 (range: 2-29.7) years. The 10- and 20-year implant survival was 87% and 61%, respectively. Implant survival differed based on primary diagnosis (P = .05), and it was significantly better in patients aged 25 years or older at the time of surgery, male patients, and patients with ceramic-on-ceramic or ceramic-on-plastic implants (P < .05). Mean HOOS scores at follow-up were 86 for pain, 84 for symptoms, 86 for ADLs, and 77 for sports. All HOOS scores were significantly worse after revision THA (P < .01). CONCLUSION Young patients have good implant survival and favorable long-term outcomes after THA. There are several predictors of implant survival and patient-reported outcomes after THA in young patients.

Abstract
Purpose To assess whether rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a greater risk of adverse events following total knee replacement (TKR) and total hip replacement (THR) than osteoarthritis (OA). Patients and methods Individuals with a diagnosis of RA or OA were identified using primary care records. TKR and THR following diagnosis were identified using linked hospital records. Myocardial infarction (MI), prosthetic joint infection (PJI), venous thromboembolism (VTE), and death were identified within 90 days following surgery, and revision procedures over 10 years following surgery. The impact of RA compared to OA on the risk for these adverse events was assessed using Cox proportional hazard models. Univariable models, with diagnosis as the only explanatory variable, and multivariable models, with age, gender, and year of surgery first added and then a measure of other comorbidities also included, were estimated. Results In all 20,763 individuals, with 10,260 TKR and 10,961 THR, were included in the analysis. Compared to those with OA, individuals with a diagnosis of RA had a greater incidence of MI over 90 days following TKR (OA: 0.28%, RA: 0.75%) and revision over 10 years following THR (OA: 5.55%, RA: 8.68%). Both of these differences were statistically significant with, for example, hazard ratios of 3.54 (1.44 to 8.73) for MI and 1.61 (1.06 to 2.46) for revision after controlling for age, gender, year of surgery, and other comorbidities. Conclusion These findings suggest that, compared to individuals with OA, those with RA have an increased short-term risk of MI following TKR. While risk of MI remains below 1%, this does underline the importance of the management of cardiovascular risk factors for those with RA. RA was also associated with an increased long-term risk of revision following THR, which strengthens the argument for investing in therapies which may prevent the need for joint replacement.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease characterized by pain and degenerative lesions of the cartilage, subchondral bone, and other joint tissues. The causes of OA remain incompletely understood. Over the years, it has become recognized that OA is a multifactorial disease. In particular, aging and trauma are the main risk factors identified for the development of OA; however, other factors such as genetic predisposition, obesity, inflammation, gender and hormones, or metabolic syndrome contribute to OA development and lead to a more severe outcome. While this disease mainly affects people older than 60 years, OA developed after joint trauma affects all range ages and has a particular impact on young individuals and people who have highest levels of physical activity such as athletes. Traumatic injury to the joint often results in joint instability or intra-articular fractures which lead to posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). In response to injury, several molecular mechanisms are activated, increasing the production and activation of different factors that contribute to the progression of OA.In this chapter, we have focused on the interactions and contribution of the multiple factors involved in joint destruction and progression of OA. In addition, we overview the main changes and molecular mechanisms related to OA pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fresh osteochondral allografts (OCAs) are limited in availability. The Missouri Osteochondral Allograft Preservation System (MOPS) has been reported to effectively preserve OCAs twice as long as current tissue bank protocols in preclinical studies. HYPOTHESIS The viable chondrocyte density (VCD) in OCAs preserved for up to 70 days using the MOPS will not be significantly different from day 0, and the VCD in MOPS-preserved OCAs will be significantly higher than for standard tissue bank preservation. Media changes during preservation will significantly improve the VCD. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Femoral condyles harvested from qualified donors (n = 12) were quartered (n = 48), assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups (tissue bank protocol at 4°C or MOPS at 25°C, with or without media changes), and preserved for 0, 28, 56, or 70 days and assessed for the VCD and histopathological characteristics. In addition, osteochondral explants were created from the femoral condyles of 12 donors (n = 36 explants), assigned to the same groups and time points, and tested for biomechanical properties. RESULTS MOPS-preserved OCAs maintained the day 0 VCD through 56 days. OCAs stored using current tissue bank protocols had a significantly lower VCD compared with day 0 and the MOPS by day 28. OCA histological and biomechanical properties did not significantly change from day 0 for any group. CONCLUSION The MOPS preserved essential OCA viability and quality at significantly higher levels than current tissue bank protocols for at least 56 days after procurement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Improving the viability and duration of OCA preservation provides potential benefits to tissue banks, donor families, surgeons, and patients with respect to tissue use, financial costs, and outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A large component of the cost of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the cost of the implants. We examined the pricing of revision THA implants to determine the possible savings of different pricing models. METHODS From our institutional database, all revision THAs done from 9/1/2013 to 8/31/2014 were identified. The cost of the implants was analyzed as a percentage of the total cost of the hospitalization and compared to direct to hospital and fixed implant pricing models. RESULTS Of 153 revision THAs analyzed, the cost of implants amounted to 36% of the total hospital cost. The direct to hospital cost and fixed implant pricing models would reduce the cost of an all-component revision to $4395 (saving $8962 per case) and $5000 (saving $8357 per case). CONCLUSION Both fixed implant pricing and the direct to hospital pricing models would result in a decrease in revision implant costs.

Abstract
This is the description of a 58-year-old female patient presenting 8 months after a horse riding accident with significant pain and inability to walk independently. Imaging revealed a large osseous defect of the lateral tibia plateau which was not united posteriorly. The patient refused knee replacement and we developed a patient specific two-step procedure for her. Step 1: Filling of the defect with a large cortico-cancellous autograft from the posterior iliac crest; step 2: Transplantation of a fresh large osteochondral shell allograft (FLOCSAT). The postoperative protocol included continuous passive motion (CPM), partial weight bearing for three months, and physiotherapy. Based on the concept of immuno-privileged cartilage tissue, the patient did not get any immuno-suppressive therapy. Pain-, activity of daily living, Lysholm and Tegner scores were evaluated before defect filling surgery with autograft, before allograft transplantation, and at 12 and 24 months after allograft transplantation. There were no complications. Radiographic analyses with plain films and CT scans revealed solid osseous integration within 3 month. The patient regained excellent functionality in both, activities of daily living and sports (back to horse riding, trampolin jumping). Knee arthroscopy after 1year showed excellent condition of the lateral meniscus and the cartilage of the lateral tibia plateau. Chimerism/DNA analysis of a cartilage biopsy showed, that at 1year 32% of the donor cells have been already replaced by the patient's own cells. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient who sustained such a large defect during a tibia plateau fracture, and got successfully treated with a fresh large osteochondral shell allograft transplantation in a two-step procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total joint replacements for end-stage osteoarthritis of the hip and knee are cost-effective and demonstrate significant clinical improvement. However, robust population based lifetime-risk data for implant revision are not available to aid patient decision making, which is a particular problem in young patient groups deciding on best-timing for surgery. METHODS We did implant survival analysis on all patients within the Clinical Practice Research Datalink who had undergone total hip replacement or total knee replacement. These data were adjusted for all-cause mortality with data from the Office for National Statistics and used to generate lifetime risks of revision surgery based on increasing age at the time of primary surgery. FINDINGS We identified 63 158 patients who had undergone total hip replacement and 54 276 who had total knee replacement between Jan 1, 1991, and Aug 10, 2011, and followed up these patients to a maximum of 20 years. For total hip replacement, 10-year implant survival rate was 95·6% (95% CI 95·3-95·9) and 20-year rate was 85·0% (83·2-86·6). For total knee replacement, 10-year implant survival rate was 96·1% (95·8-96·4), and 20-year implant survival rate was 89·7% (87·5-91·5). The lifetime risk of requiring revision surgery in patients who had total hip replacement or total knee replacement over the age of 70 years was about 5% with no difference between sexes. For those who had surgery younger than 70 years, however, the lifetime risk of revision increased for younger patients, up to 35% (95% CI 30·9-39·1) for men in their early 50s, with large differences seen between male and female patients (15% lower for women in same age group). The median time to revision for patients who had surgery younger than age 60 was 4·4 years. INTERPRETATION Our study used novel methodology to investigate and offer new insight into the importance of young age and risk of revision after total hip or knee replacement. Our evidence challenges the increasing trend for more total hip replacements and total knee replacements to be done in the younger patient group, and these data should be offered to patients as part of the shared decision making process.

Abstract
Objective The study had 2 objectives: first, to evaluate the success of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) in terms of incidence of surgical re-intervention, including arthroplasty, and investigate predictors of successful treatment outcome. The second objective was to derive a tool predicting a patient's arthroplasty risk following ACI. Design In this Level II, prognostic study, 170 ACI-treated patients (110 males [aged 36.8 ± 9.4 years]; 60 females [aged 38.1 ± 10.2 years]) completed a questionnaire about further surgery on their knee treated with ACI 10.9 ± 3.5 years previously. Factors commonly assessed preoperatively (age, gender, defect location and number, previous surgery at this site, and the preoperative Lysholm score) were used as independent factors in regression analyses. Results At final follow-up (maximum of 19 years post-ACI), 40 patients (23.5%) had undergone surgical re-intervention following ACI. Twenty-six patients (15.3%) underwent arthroplasty, more commonly females (25%) than males (10%; P = 0.001). Cox regression analyses identified 4 factors associated with re-intervention: age at ACI, multiple operations before ACI, patellar defects, and lower pretreatment Lysholm scores (Nagelkerke's R2 = 0.20). Six predictive items associated with risk of arthroplasty following ACI (Nagelkerke's R2 = 0.34) were used to develop the Oswestry Risk of Knee Arthroplasty index with internal cross-validation. Conclusion In a single-center study, we have identified 6 factors (age, gender, location and number of defects, number of previous operations, and Lysholm score before ACI) that appear to influence the likelihood of ACI patients progressing to arthroplasty. We have used this information to propose a formula or "tool" that could aid treatment decisions and improve patient selection for ACI.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder, is associated with an increasing socioeconomic impact owing to the ageing population and mainly affects the diarthrodial joints. Primary OA results from a combination of risk factors, with increasing age and obesity being the most prominent. The concept of the pathophysiology is still evolving, from being viewed as cartilage-limited to a multifactorial disease that affects the whole joint. An intricate relationship between local and systemic factors modulates its clinical and structural presentations, leading to a common final pathway of joint destruction. Pharmacological treatments are mostly related to relief of symptoms and there is no disease-modifying OA drug (that is, treatment that will reduce symptoms in addition to slowing or stopping the disease progression) yet approved by the regulatory agencies. Identifying phenotypes of patients will enable the detection of the disease in its early stages as well as distinguish individuals who are at higher risk of progression, which in turn could be used to guide clinical decision making and allow more effective and specific therapeutic interventions to be designed. This Primer is an update on the progress made in the field of OA epidemiology, quality of life, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnosis, screening, prevention and disease management.

J Arthroplasty 2016; 31:1275-1278. [PMID: 26781396 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2015.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2015] [Revised: 11/24/2015] [Accepted: 12/14/2015] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previously, we reported the mean 16-year results of primary uncemented total hip arthroplasty using a tapered femoral component in patients <50 years. The purpose of this study was to update our previous report using the Taperloc femoral component in young patients who had been followed for a minimum of 20 years postoperatively. METHODS Between 1983 and 1990, 108 consecutive uncemented total hip arthroplasties were performed in 91 patients of age <50 years, with use of the Taperloc femoral component. Every patient was followed for a minimum of 20 years after surgery or until death. At a mean of 25 (range, 20-29 years) postoperatively, 76 patients (91 hips) were living. The Harris Hip Score, radiographic results, complications, and Kaplan-Meier survivorship were evaluated. RESULTS In the entire cohort of 108 hips, 9 femoral components (8%) have been revised, none for aseptic loosening. Five well-fixed stems were removed during acetabular revision, 3 stems were revised for infection, and 1 stem was exchanged because of a peroneal nerve palsy. Distal femoral osteolysis was identified around 1 hip. With failure defined as stem removal for any reason, implant survival was 90% (CI = 82-95) at 29 years. With failure defined as stem removal for aseptic loosening, implant survival was 100% at 29 years. CONCLUSION Primary total hip arthroplasty with the Taperloc femoral component in young patients was associated with a high rate of survival at 29 years.

Abstract
Worldwide rates of primary and revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are rising due to increased longevity of the population and the burden of osteoarthritis. Revision TKA is a technically demanding procedure generating outcomes which are reported to be inferior to those of primary knee arthroplasty, and with a higher risk of complication. Overall, the rate of revision after primary arthroplasty is low, but the number of patients currently living with a TKA suggests a large potential revision healthcare burden. Many patients are now outliving their prosthesis, and consideration must be given to how we are to provide the necessary capacity to meet the rising demand for revision surgery and how to maximise patient outcomes. The purpose of this review was to examine the epidemiology of, and risk factors for, revision knee arthroplasty, and to discuss factors that may enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) gives good outcome in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis, but it is not known whether this also applies to patients over 80 years old. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively assessed outcome in patients over the age of 80 after anatomic TSA, performed for primary osteoarthritis with a preoperative intact rotator cuff (group O, n = 32). We compared it with outcome in a group of patients under the age of 70 (group Y, n = 32). Subjective outcome, Constant score, and radiological findings were analyzed. RESULTS At a mean follow-up time of 7 years, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. In group O, 24 patients were very satisfied and in group Y, 23 patients were very satisfied; the subjective shoulder value was 81% in both groups. Mean Constant score was 65 in group O and 67 in group Y. Moderate or severe radiological upper migration of the humeral head was detected in 1 patient in group O and in 3 patients in group Y. One patient in group Y was revised for glenoid loosening. INTERPRETATION Good to excellent results can be expected after anatomic TSA in patients over the age of 80. Our findings suggest that they have similar results to those in patients around 70 years of age.

Abstract
This case study discusses a 13-year-old girl diagnosed with a displaced Salter Harris II fracture of the proximal femoral epiphysis post reduction of a dislocated hip. Radiographs before reduction revealed a small fracture of the inferomedial femoral head. This, however, did not induce concern before reduction. The patient underwent reparative surgery of the epiphysis only to develop a collapsed femoral head, which was remedied through total hip arthroplasty. A decrease in blood flow, the delicacy in reduction, and unknown predispositions might have been contributing factors toward the unique development in this case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the volume of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed in the United States continues to increase, recent reports have shown the percentage of patients who remain "unsatisfied" is as high as 15% to 30%. Recently, several newer implant designs have been developed to potentially improve patient outcomes. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of high-flex, gender-specific, and rotating-platform TKA designs on patient satisfaction and functional outcomes. METHODS A four-center study was designed to quantify the degree of residual symptoms and functional deficits in patients undergoing TKA with newer implant designs compared with a 10-year-old, cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA system introduced in 2003. Each contributing surgeon was fellowship-trained and specialized in joint replacement surgery. Only patients younger than 60 years old were included. Data were collected by an independent, third-party survey center blinded to the implant type, who administered questionnaires about patient satisfaction, residual symptoms, function, and pre- and postoperative activity levels using previously published survey instruments. Two hundred thirty-seven CR, 137 rotating-platform, 88 gender-specific, and 65 high-flex TKAs were included in the analysis. Differences in baseline demographic variables were accounted for using multiple logistic regression statistical analyses. RESULTS Patients who received certain newer designs reported more residual symptoms (grinding, popping, and clicking) in the 30 days before survey administration than the group receiving a 10-year-old CR design (CR, 24% [57 of 237 patients] versus gender-specific, 36% [32 of 88 patients]; odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-3.8; p=0.03; and rotating-platform, 43% [59 of 137 patients]; OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.3-3.7; p<0.001). They also reported more functional problems, including getting in and out of a chair (CR, 19% [46 of 237 patients] versus gender-specific, 37% [32 of 88 patients]; OR, 1.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.5; p=0.001). Patients with newer TKA designs did not demonstrate any improvements in function or patient satisfaction versus those who received the 10-year-old CR design. CONCLUSIONS When interviewed by an independent, blinded third party, the use of newer implant designs did not improve patient satisfaction and the presence of residual symptoms when compared with patients who received the 10-year-old CR design. Future studies should prospectively determine whether the purported benefits of newer implant designs improve patient-perceived outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
The aims of this retrospective study were to compare the mid-term outcomes following revision total knee replacement (TKR) in 76 patients (81 knees) < 55 years of age with those of a matched group of primary TKRs based on age, BMI, gender and comorbid conditions. We report the activity levels, functional scores, rates of revision and complications. Compared with patients undergoing primary TKR, those undergoing revision TKR had less improvement in the mean Knee Society function scores (8.14 (–55 to +60) vs 23.3 points (–40 to +80), p < 0.001), a similar improvement in UCLA activity level (p = 0.52), and similar minor complication rates (16% vs 13%, p = 0.83) at a mean follow-up of 4.6 years (2 to 13.4). Further revision surgery was more common among revised TKRs (17% vs 5%, p = 0.02), with deep infection and instability being the most common reasons for failure. As many as one-third of patients aged < 55 years in the revision group had a complication or failure requiring further surgery. Young patients undergoing revision TKR should be counselled that they can expect somewhat less improvement and a higher risk of complications than occur after primary TKR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent proposed modification in surgical technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been the introduction of the "kinematically aligned" TKA, in which the angle and level of the posterior joint line of the femoral component and joint line of the tibial component are aligned to those of the "normal," pre-arthritic knee. The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship of the posterior femoral axis of the "kinematically aligned" total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to the traditional axes used to set femoral component rotation. METHODS One hundred and fourteen consecutive, unselected patients with preoperative MRI images undergoing TKA were retrospectively reviewed. The transepicondylar axis (TEA), posterior condylar axis (PCA), antero-posterior axis (APA) of the trochlear groove, and posterior femoral axis of the kinematically aligned TKA (KAA) were templated on axial MRI images by two independent observers. The relationships between the KAA, TEA, APA, and PCA were determined, with a negative value indicating relative internal rotation of the axis. RESULTS On average, the KAA was 0.5° externally rotated relative to the PCA (minimum of -3.6°, maximum of 5.8°), -4.0° internally rotated relative to the TEA (minimum of -10.5°, maximum of 2.3°), and -96.4° internally rotated relative to the APA (minimum of -104.5°, maximum of -88.5°). Each of these relationships exhibited a wide range of potential values. CONCLUSIONS Using a kinematically aligned surgical technique internally rotates the posterior femoral axis relative to the transepicondylar axis, which significantly differs from current alignment instrument targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee replacement (TKR) for osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and successful operation; the severity of radiographic changes plays a key role as to when it should be performed. This study investigates whether an early radiological grade of OA has an adverse effect on the outcome of TKR in patients with arthroscopically confirmed OA. METHODS Between January 2006 and January 2011 data was collected prospectively on all patients undergoing a primary TKR for OA. We included all patients with a Kellgren-Lawrence score of two or less on their pre-operative radiograph who had had an arthroscopy to confirm significant OA. Our primary outcomes were the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and a satisfaction rating. RESULTS Over the study period 1708 primary TKRs were performed in 1381 patients. We identified 44 TKRs in 43 patients with a Kellgren-Lawrence score of two or less on their pre-operative radiograph. In this group the mean age was 63 years, 66% were female and the mean BMI was 31.7 kg/m(2). At a mean follow-up of 37 months the mean OKS was only 30 points compared to 36 in all TKRs performed over the same period (p=0.0004). Only 68% were either satisfied or very satisfied. Eight knees (18%) underwent further surgery, three (6.8%) of which were revision procedures, compared to a revision rate of 1.6% in all patients. CONCLUSION The outcomes of TKR in patients with early radiological changes of OA are inferior to those with significant radiological changes and should be performed with caution.

Abstract
Total hip replacement (THR) is a successful and reliable operation for both relieving pain and improving function in patients who are disabled with end stage arthritis. The ageing population is predicted to significantly increase the requirement for THR in patients who have a higher functional demand than those of the past. Uncemented THR was introduced to improve the long term results and in particular the results in younger, higher functioning patients. There has been controversy about the value of uncemented compared to cemented THR although there has been a world-wide trend towards uncemented fixation. Uncemented acetabular fixation has gained wide acceptance, as seen in the increasing number of hybrid THR in joint registries, but there remains debate about the best mode of femoral fixation. In this article we review the history and current world-wide registry data, with an in-depth analysis of the New Zealand Joint Registry, to determine the results of uncemented femoral fixation in an attempt to provide an evidence-based answer as to the value of this form of fixation.

Abstract
A national, multi-centre study was designed in which a questionnaire quantifying the degree of patient satisfaction and residual symptoms in patients following total knee replacement (TKR) was administered by an independent, blinded third party survey centre. A total of 90% of patients reported satisfaction with the overall functioning of their knee, but 66% felt their knee to be ‘normal’, with the reported incidence of residual symptoms and functional problems ranging from 33% to 54%. Female patients and patients from low-income households had increased odds of reporting dissatisfaction. Neither the use of contemporary implant designs (gender-specific, high-flex, rotating platform) or custom cutting guides (CCG) with a neutral mechanical axis target improved patient-perceived outcomes. However, use of a CCG to perform a so-called kinematically aligned TKR showed a trend towards more patients reporting their knee to feel ‘normal’ when compared with a so called mechanically aligned TKR This data shows a degree of dissatisfaction and residual symptoms following TKR, and that several recent modifications in implant design and surgical technique have not improved the current situation.
