Physiother Theory Pract 2024:1-7. [PMID: 38557264 DOI: 10.1080/09593985.2024.2337784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Practical, applicable, valid, and reliable tools are needed to assess physical performance in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) in a variety of settings, including routine clinical assessment, research studies, and community-based programs. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) among patients with TKA. METHODS We included 45 patients who underwent TKA surgery (mean age 68.89 ± 9.26). The SPPB, Timed up and go (TUG) test and, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Knee Score were administered to the patients. SPPB was performed twice on the same day with 1 h rest. RESULTS The ICC(2,1) coefficient, MDC95 and SEM values were 0.97, 1.02 and 0.37 respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the SPPB with the TUG and HSS was -.78, and 0.74 respectively. CONCLUSION SPPB has excellent reliability, and strong validity in assessing physical performance in patients with TKA. SPPB can identify even minimal detectable difference in physical performance and can be reliably used to monitor patient outcomes in the postoperative period for a comprehensive assessment of TKA in many physical performance domains, including balance, walking speed, and lower extremity strength. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER NCT06201637.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there are no adequate care concepts for geriatric patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery in Germany. The Special Orthopaedic Geriatrics (SOG) study evaluates for the first time in Germany the impact of comprehensive orthogeriatric co-management on the outcome of elderly patients with elective hip and knee replacements compared to standard orthopaedic care. METHODS The interim analysis of the ongoing study included 174 patients; 87 patients were randomized to the intervention group and 87 to the control group. The SOG care model consists of screening, preoperative assessment with preoperative intervention, fast-track surgery and multimodal perioperative care in the orthogeriatric team. The control group received standard orthopaedic care. Mobility, complications, and patient-reported outcome measures after surgery were compared. RESULTS The SOG group showed a clinically relevant improvement in mobility postoperatively compared to the control group at all time points (p < 0.01). The evaluation of complications showed a significant risk reduction for minor complications (p < 0.01), as well as a clear trend towards a risk reduction for major complications. Patient-reported outcome measures showed a significant improvement in joint function and general health-related quality of life both in the SOG group and the control group. CONCLUSION Integrated orthogeriatric care models such as SOG could improve the care of geriatric patients in elective orthopaedic surgery in the future and, above all, make it safer.

The impact of elective total hip and knee arthroplasty on physical performance in orthogeriatric patients: a prospective intervention study. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:763.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition in older adults that leads to reduced physical function in many patients and ultimately requires hip or knee replacement. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of hip and knee arthroplasty on the physical performance of orthogeriatric patients with osteoarthritis. METHODS In this prospective study, we used data from 135 participants of the ongoing Special Orthopaedic Geriatrics (SOG) trial, funded by the German Federal Joint Committee (GBA). Physical function, measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), was assessed preoperatively, 3 and 7 days postoperatively, 4-6 weeks and 3 months after hip and knee arthroplasty. For the statistical analysis, the Friedman test and post-hoc tests were used. RESULTS Of the 135 participants with a mean age of 78.5 ± 4.6 years, 81 underwent total hip arthroplasty and 54 total knee arthroplasty. In the total population, SPPB improved by a median of 2 points 3 months after joint replacement (p < 0.001). In the hip replacement group, SPPB increased by a median of 2 points 3 months after surgery (p < 0.001). At 3 months postoperatively, the SPPB increased by a median of 1 point in the knee replacement group (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Elective total hip and knee arthroplasty leads to a clinically meaningful improvement in physical performance in orthogeriatric patients with osteoarthritis after only a few weeks. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study is part of the Special Orthopaedic Geriatrics (SOG) trial, German Clinical Trials Register DRKS00024102. Registered on 19 January 2021.

CT- and MRI-Based 3D Reconstruction of Knee Joint to Assess Cartilage and Bone. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:279. [PMID: 35204370 PMCID: PMC8870751 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12020279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
For the observation of human joint cartilage, X-ray, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the main diagnostic tools to evaluate pathologies or traumas. The current work introduces a set of novel measurements and 3D features based on MRI and CT data of the knee joint, used to reconstruct bone and cartilages and to assess cartilage condition from a new perspective. Forty-seven subjects presenting a degenerative disease, a traumatic injury or no symptoms or trauma were recruited in this study and scanned using CT and MRI. Using medical imaging software, the bone and cartilage of the knee joint were segmented and 3D reconstructed. Several features such as cartilage density, volume and surface were extracted. Moreover, an investigation was carried out on the distribution of cartilage thickness and curvature analysis to identify new markers of cartilage condition. All the extracted features were used with advanced statistics tools and machine learning to test the ability of our model to predict cartilage conditions. This work is a first step towards the development of a new gold standard of cartilage assessment based on 3D measurements.
