Abstract
The calcar femorale, first identified by Merkel in 1874, plays a pivotal role in the weight-bearing capacity of the proximal femur, and its structural integrity is crucial for the efficient distribution of mechanical loads. Originating at the vertical ridge where the pubofemoral ligament anchors, this bony prominence extends laterally behind the neutral axis from the medial to lateral aspects. Its presence is not merely an anatomical curiosity but significantly influences the biomechanics of the hip joint by providing additional strength and support against compressive forces encountered during activities such as walking or jumping. Despite its clear description in orthopedic texts, misconceptions persist about its exact function and importance. This article delves into the nuanced anatomy and biomechanical properties of the calcar femorale, offering a detailed literature-based examination that demonstrates its relevance in clinical practice. The review highlights how the robustness of the calcar femorale contributes to the prevention of femoral neck fractures as well as the stabilization of hip prostheses. Furthermore, the indispensable role of the calcar femorale in surgical outcomes is discussed, especially in the context of fracture repair and joint replacement, thus illustrating its enduring significance in contemporary medical applications.

Abstract
Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common diseases in the pediatric orthopedics, with an incidence of 1-5%. Genetic factors are the bases of the pathogenesis of DDH, but the pathogenic variants and pathogenesis of DDH are still unknown. There are no key accurate diagnostic or prognostic molecular markers for DDH. The purpose of our study was to screen for genetic variant associated with DDH and explore its pathogenesis. Materials and Methods: The genetic variation of DDH was tested by variant NGS-based exome analyses, verified by the Sanger sequencing. Results: A four-generation family in which DDH was present in three generations was recruited. A novel heterozygous missense variant c.629C>T (p.(Ala210Val)) in exon 7/8 of the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) gene was identified through screening of two affected and one unaffected family members. The candidate variant was validated in all available family members with all three affected members being positive for the PTH1R variant. Conclusion: Our results are highly supportive of PTH1R as a novel candidate gene for DDH and demonstrated that the combination of pedigree information and next-generation sequencing is an effective method for identifying pathogenic variants associated with DDH.

Orthop Surg 2022; 14:2979-2986. [PMID: 36177805 PMCID: PMC9627059 DOI: 10.1111/os.13524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Early prediction of stem version aids in optimization of combined version during total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to analyze the discrepancy between stem version and native femoral version measured by different methods, and to explore which method can better predict the stem version. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 26 patients (39 hips) treated with robot‐assisted THA in our hospital between September 2019 and December 2019. A straight, single‐wedge, cementless stem (Accolade II) was used in all cases. Preoperative femoral version was measured at three levels on computerized tomography (CT) scan from the top to the middle level of femoral neck (Level 1 to Level 3). During THA, the version on cutting surface was measured prior to femoral broaching based on two reference lines: mid‐cortical line and T line (trochanteric fossa to the middle of medial cortex). After femoral broaching, stem version was measured based on the femoral neck trial using Mako system (Stryker). In the statistical analysis, the difference and absolute discrepancy between stem version and femoral version measured with various methods were examined using paired t‐test, and the relationship between stem version and various femoral versions were examined using correlation analysis. Results Mean femoral neck version (Level 1) was 9.5° ± 2.6° (range, −16.8°‐42.5°), while mean stem version measured by Mako system was 19.9° ± 2.0° (range, −8.0°‐49.0°). Femoral version measured with each method showed a moderate correlation with stem version (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference between stem version and femoral version except at Level 3, with a mean difference of 0.8° ± 13.6° (p = 0.729). With regard to the intraoperative estimation, stem version significantly increased compared to the value based on mid‐cortical line, with a mean difference of 8.4° ± 13.1° (p < 0.001). However, the mean value of stem version was a little smaller than that of femoral version measured by reference to T line, but without statistical significance (p = 0.156). No postoperative dislocations occurred during the study period. No revision was required for any component. Conclusions The middle level of femoral neck on CT scan and T line on cutting surface are better references to measure femoral version for predicting postoperative stem version. However, the relationship between stem version and predictive value was flexible. Therefore, further three‐dimensional studies of postoperative CT are needed to validate the press‐fit fixation and rotational freedom of the single‐wedge stem.

Abstract
Background Stem choice in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip dysplasia is still controversial. The aims of the study were to evaluate (1) which stem design provided the highest percentage of adequate reconstructions in THA for dysplasia and (2) any correlation between the reconstructions provided by the stems and the native femoral morphology. Materials and methods 150 CT scans including 200 adult dysplastic hips were randomly selected. Using the 3D CT-based software Hip-Op for surgical planning, the native hip anatomy was studied. Then, a single wedge tapered stem, an anatomical stem and a conical tapered stem were simulated in every hip. An adequate reconstruction of hip biomechanics was obtained when combined anteversion, offset restoration, coronal and sagittal tilt, canal filling and leg lengthening were inside the normal ranges. Results Conical stems achieved the highest percentage of adequate reconstructions (87%, p < 0.0001). The anatomical stem was the worst performer. Single wedge and anatomical stem acceptability was mainly influenced by the combined anteversion. Stem anteversion was correlated with the femoral anteversion (fair correlation), the calcar femorale (fair) and the mediolateral femoral diameter at isthmus (poor). When the femoral anteversion was ≥ 25°, combined anteversion was very acceptable for the conical stem (99.2%), whereas the rate of acceptable combined anteversion for the single wedge tapered stem was 71.4%, and that for the anatomical stem was 51.6% (p < 0.0001). Conclusions Stem choice in developmental hip dysplasia is mainly driven by appropriate combined anteversion, which is dependent on the coronal and axial femoral morphologies. As a rule of thumb, tapered stems are adequate when femoral anteversion is < 25°; conical stems should be adopted for higher anteversions. Level of evidence IV.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a debilitating condition that affects 1–7% of newborns. Children with DDH, not treated early and effectively, will easily lead to disability. A better understanding of the biology of DDH is critical to the development of prognostic biomarkers and novel therapies. The purpose of this study was to establish a biobank of DDH genetic resources, to facilitate clinical and basic scientific research. The biological specimen and clinical data of DDH were collected in Shanghai Children’s Hospital from 2014 to 2021. The collection of blood samples was performed at definitive diagnosis and review, tissue specimens were performed at definitive surgery. The clinical data was collected at the whole stage of DDH patients at diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. A total of 528 patients with DDH were enrolled in this study, 90 were men and 438 were women, with the mean age of 4.67 years. The numbers of tissue and blood specimens reached 2172 and 1490, respectively. The quality test results showed that the DNA concentration decreased slightly with the extension of storage time, but the DNA purity did not change. Meanwhile, the extension of storage time slightly affected the stability of protein of tissue samples but did not affect the expression of the housekeeping gene. The DDH biobank built has the potential of monitoring disease pathogenesis and progress, which could provide specimens to the researchers improving the biological understanding and provide guidance of clinical treatment of this disease to clinicians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To using finite element analysis to investigate the effects of the traditional titanium alloy Gamma nail and a biodegradable magnesium alloy bionic Gamma nail for treating intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS Computed tomography images of an adult male volunteer of appropriate age and in good physical condition were used to establish a three-dimensional model of the proximal femur. Then, a model of a type 31A1 intertrochanteric fracture of the proximal femur was established, and the traditional titanium alloy Gamma nails and biodegradable magnesium alloy bionic Gamma nails were used for fixation, respectively. The von Mises stress, the maximum principal stress, and the minimum principal stress were calculated to evaluate the effect of bone ingrowth on stress distribution of the proximal femur after fixation. RESULTS In the intact model, the maximum stress was 5.8 MPa, the minimum stress was -11.7 MPa, and the von Mises stress was 11.4 MPa. The maximum principal stress distribution of the cancellous bone in the intact model appears in a position consistent with the growth direction of the principal and secondary tensile zones. After traditional Gamma nail healing, the maximum stress was 32 MPa, the minimum stress was -23.5 MPa, and the von Mises stress was 31.3 MPa. The stress concentration was quite obvious compared with the intact model. It was assumed that the nail would biodegrade completely within 12 months postoperatively. The maximum stress was 18.7 MPa, the minimum stress was -12.6 MPa, and the von Mises stress was 14.0 MPa. For the minimum principal stress, the region of minimum stress value less than -10 MPa was significantly improved compared with the traditional titanium alloy Gamma nail models. Meanwhile, the stress distribution of the bionic Gamma nail model in the proximal femur was closer to that of the intact bone, which significantly reduced the stress concentration of the implant. CONCLUSION The biodegradable magnesium alloy bionic Gamma nail implant can improve the stress distribution of fractured bone close to that of intact bone while reducing the risk of postoperative complications associated with traditional internal fixation techniques, and it has promising clinical value in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The dynamic hip screw (DHS) is widely used for fixing intertrochanteric femur fractures. A porous bionic DHS was developed recently to avoid the stress concentration and risk of post-operative complications associated with titanium alloy DHSs. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of traditional titanium alloy, bionic titanium alloy, and bionic magnesium alloy DHS fixation for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures using finite element analysis. METHODS A three-dimensional model of the proximal femur was established by human computed tomography images. An intertrochanteric fracture was created on the model, which was fixed using traditional and porous bionic DHS, respectively. The von Mises stress, maximum principal stress, and minimum principal stress were calculated to evaluate the effect of bone ingrowth on stress distribution of the proximal femur after fixation. RESULTS Stress concentration of the bionic DHS model was lower compared with traditional DHS fixation models. The von Mises stress, maximum principal stress, and minimum principal stress distributions of bionic magnesium alloy DHS models improved, along with simulation of the bone healing process and magnesium alloy degeneration, assumed to biodegrade completely 12 months post-operatively. The distribution of maximum principal stress in the secondary tension zone of the bionic DHS model was close to the intact bone. In the minimum principal stress, the region of minimum stress value less than - 10 MPa was significantly improved compared with traditional DHS models. CONCLUSION The bionic magnesium alloy DHS implant can improve the stress distribution of fractured bone close to that of intact bone while reducing the risk of post-operative complications associated with traditional internal fixations.

Effect of altered proximal femoral geometry on predicting femoral stem anteversion in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip. J Orthop Surg Res 2019; 14:420. [PMID: 31818325 PMCID: PMC6902573 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-019-1491-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The deformity of the proximal femur and acetabular in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) renders an intraoperative decision for ideal component placement challenging. We hypothesized that the altered morphology of calcar femorale (CF) in DDH patients changed the fixation mechanism of the cementless metaphyseal-filling stem and aimed to predict stem anteversion using proximal femoral anatomical parameters from preoperative CT. Methods Preoperative and postoperative CT scans of 34 DDHs with a metaphyseal-filling stem in THA were retrospectively analyzed. Proximal femoral anatomical parameters, including the femoral anteversion (FA) and the CF angles at the low femoral neck (LFN) and the center of the lesser trochanter (CLT) levels (FA-LFN, FA-CLT, CF-LFN, and CF-CLT) were measured. The dysplastic hips were divided into the CF group (n = 21) and the non-CF group (n = 13) according to the presence of the CF-LFN. The association between the anatomical parameters and the postoperative stem anteversion was statistically analyzed, and the predicted stem anteversion was compared with postoperative stem anteversion. Results In the CF group, the combination of the CF-LFN and FA-CLT exhibited a strong positive correlation (R = 0.870, p < 0.001) with the postoperative stem anteversion. In the non-CF group, only the FA-LFN had a strong positive correlation (R = 0.864, p < 0.001). Average prediction errors were 5.9° and 6.4° in the CF and non-CF groups. Conclusions The presence of CF-LFN is related to the press-fit mechanism of the metaphyseal-filling stem, and the preoperative measurements from CT images can be employed as a tool to predict postoperative stem anteversion in DDH patients.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is accompanied by morphological alterations on both the acetabular and the femoral side. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) provides effective treatment in cases of neglected DDH but requires elaborate preoperative planning. To determine the morphological changes resulting from the dysplasia, the anatomic acetabular position, the height of the femur head dislocation, the height of the femur head dislocation, and the combined anteversion must all be established. In addition, a vital and complicated process of strategizing leg length balance must be conducted in cases of severe DDH. Each type of leg length discrepancy (LLD), including bony and functional and anatomical LLD, should be evaluated in the context of the presence or absence of a fixed pelvic tilt. Moreover, with severe unilateral dislocated hips, a more inferior change in the original rotational center of the hip must be accounted for. Due to these multiple morphological changes, the accurate size of the prosthesis and the cup position are difficult to predict. In comparison with other methods, CT scan‐based 3‐dimensional templating provides the best accuracy. Despite the presence of anatomic alterations, various types of acetabular and femoral prostheses have been developed to treat hip dysplasia. Both cemented and cementless cups are used in DDH cases. In DDH accompanied by insufficient acetabular bone stock, a cemented cup combined with bone graft provides a reliable treatment. Monoblock stems can be used when the combined anteversion is less than 55°, and a modular stem system when this parameter is greater than 55°. Customized stems can be designed for DDH coupled with severe proximal femoral distortion. A ceramic‐on‐ceramic bearing is considered optimal for young DDH patients.

Abstract
Proximal femoral fragility fractures are common and result in significant morbidity and mortality along with a considerable socioeconomic burden. The goals of this article are to review relevant proximal femoral anatomy together with imaging, classification, and management of proximal femoral fragility fractures, and their most common complications. Imaging plays an integral role in classification, management and follow-up of proximal femoral fragility fractures. Classification of proximal femoral fragility fractures is primarily based on anteroposterior hip radiographs. Pertinent imaging features for each category of proximal femoral fractures that would guide management are: differentiating nondisplaced from displaced femoral neck fractures, distinguishing stable from unstable intertrochanteric fractures, and determining the morphology and comminution of subtrochanteric fractures. Treatment of proximal femoral fragility fractures is primarily surgical with either arthroplasty or internal fixation. Intramedullary nailing is used in the treatment of some types of proximal femoral fragility fractures and may be associated with unique complications that become evident on postoperative follow-up radiographs.
