Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of deep tissue injury (DTI) and potential risk factors after surgery in the lithotomy position. Methods All patients who underwent surgery in the lithotomy position under general anesthesia at a single center between January 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. The medical records of these patients were reviewed, and patient demographic and clinical characteristics, surgical data, and occurrence of DTI were recorded. Results During the study period, 5146 patients, 2055 (39.9%) males and 3091 (60.1%) females, with a mean age of 57.3 ± 17.4 years, underwent surgery in the lithotomy position. Seven (0.14%) patients developed DTI on their calf following surgery. All presented with severe pain and swelling, requiring prolonged hospital stay. Multivariate analysis showed that male sex (odds ratio (OR): 11.43; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-113.34, p = 0.037), higher BMI (OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.17-1.50, p = 0.0001), and longer operation time (OR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.004-1.014, p = 0.0002) were independent risk factors for postoperative DTI. Optimal cut-off values for BMI and operation time were 23.5 kg/m2 (sensitivity = 100%; specificity = 64%) and 285 minutes (sensitivity = 100%; specificity = 90%), respectively. Conclusion Factors significantly associated with DTI include male sex, higher BMI, and prolonged operation time.

Abstract
Aims Biofilm infections are among the most challenging complications in orthopaedics, as bacteria within the biofilms are protected from the host immune system and many antibiotics. Halicin exhibits broad-spectrum activity against many planktonic bacteria, and previous studies have demonstrated that halicin is also effective against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms grown on polystyrene or polypropylene substrates. However, the effectiveness of many antibiotics can be substantially altered depending on which orthopaedically relevant substrates the biofilms grow. This study, therefore, evaluated the activity of halicin against less mature and more mature S. aureus biofilms grown on titanium alloy, cobalt-chrome, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), devitalized muscle, or devitalized bone. Methods S. aureus-Xen36 biofilms were grown on the various substrates for 24 hours or seven days. Biofilms were incubated with various concentrations of halicin or vancomycin and then allowed to recover without antibiotics. Minimal biofilm eradication concentrations (MBECs) were defined by CFU counting and resazurin reduction assays, and were compared with the planktonic minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Results Halicin continued to exert significantly (p < 0.01) more antibacterial activity against biofilms grown on all tested orthopaedically relevant substrates than vancomycin, an antibiotic known to be affected by biofilm maturity. For example, halicin MBECs against both less mature and more mature biofilms were ten-fold to 40-fold higher than its MIC. In contrast, vancomycin MBECs against the less mature biofilms were 50-fold to 200-fold higher than its MIC, and 100-fold to 400-fold higher against the more mature biofilms. Conclusion Halicin is a promising antibiotic that should be tested in animal models of orthopaedic infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibiotic susceptibility is very important for the successful treatment of orthopedic infections, particularly for implant-related infections. While the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Staphylococcus species were well investigated for the isolates from the respiratory tract, investigations for orthopedic pathogens are very limited. We investigated the antibiotic MIC values of Staphylococcus species isolated from orthopedic infections and compared them with those of respiratory medicine isolates used as a control. METHODS The MICs of vancomycin (VCM), arbekacin (ABK), teicoplanin (TEIC), linezolid (LZD), and rifampicin (RFP) of a total of consecutive 259 (89 orthopedic and 170 respiratory) Staphylococcus speciesisolated in our laboratory from January 2013 to July 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Differences between the MICs of each antibiotic in orthopedic and respiratory samples were determined. RESULTS The number of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) with a VCM MIC of <0.5 μg/mL among respiratory isolates was significantly higher than that among orthopedic isolates, while those with a MIC of 2 μg/mL were significantly lower (P = 0.0078). The proportion of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) isolates with a VCM MIC of 2 μg/mL was significantly higher in orthopedic samples than that of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (P < 0.001) in respiratory isolates. The proportion of MRCNS orthopedic isolates with an RFP MIC of >2 μg/mL was significantly higher (P = 0.0058) than that of other orthopedic staphylococci. CONCLUSIONS The VCM MICs of Staphylococcus species from orthopedic infections were higher than those of respiratory samples, particularly MRCNS from implant-related samples.

Abstract
Background Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is primarily caused by bony impingement between the acetabulum and femoral neck during hip motion. Increasing posterior pelvic tilt improves hip range of motion in patients with FAI. Purpose To use computer simulation analysis to compare the effects of 3-dimensional (3D) changes in pelvic tilt (sagittal tilt [St], axial rotation, and coronal tilt) with changes in a single plane (St), with the aim of improving range of motion in patients with FAI. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods We evaluated 43 patients with FAI treated by arthroscopic cam resection. A 3D simulation was used to construct the following pelvic models: a 5° and 10° increase posteriorly in St (St5° and St10°) and a combined 5° change in St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt (Complex5°) from the baseline of the anterior pelvic plane. Improvements in maximum internal rotation (MIR) at 45°, 70°, and 90° of hip flexion and improvements in maximum flexion with no internal rotation were compared among the St5°, St10°, and Complex5° models. The pelvic models of each single-plane change of 5° and 10° were evaluated in the same simulation. Results At 90° and 70°, there was a significant difference between the Complex5° and St10° models with respect to improvement in MIR (P = .004 at 90° of flexion; P = .017 at 70° of flexion). There was no significant difference in MIR at 45° of flexion (P = .71) or in maximum flexion (P = .42). Conclusion At 70° and 90° of hip flexion, a combined change in 3D pelvic alignment of 5° (ie, St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt) was more effective in improving hip MIR than a 10° change in St only. Clinical Relevance Effective physical therapy for FAI should address pelvic motion in all 3 planes rather than in a single plane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biofilms protect bacteria from the host immune system and many antibiotics, making the treatment of orthopaedic infections difficult. Halicin, a recently discovered antibiotic, has potent activity against nonorthopaedic infections in mice and the planktonic, free-living forms of many bacterial species, including Staphylococcus aureus , a common cause of orthopaedic infections. Importantly, halicin did not induce resistance in vitro and was effective against drug-resistant bacteria and proliferating and quiescent bacteria. Quiescence is an important cause of antibiotic tolerance in biofilms. However, whether halicin acts on biofilms has not been tested. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) Does halicin reduce the viability of S. aureus in less mature and more mature biofilms as it does in planktonic cultures? (2) How do the relative effects of halicin on S. aureus biofilms and planktonic cultures compare with those of conventional antibiotics (tobramycin, cefazolin, vancomycin, or rifampicin) that are commonly used in clinical orthopaedic infections? METHODS To measure minimal biofilm eradication concentrations (MBECs) with less mature 3-day and more mature 7-day biofilms, we used 96-well peg plates that provided high throughput and excellent reproducibility. After S. aureus -Xen36 biofilm formation, planktonic bacteria were removed from the cultures, and the biofilms were exposed to various concentrations of halicin, tobramycin, cefazolin, vancomycin, or rifampicin for 20 hours. Biofilm viability was determined by measuring resazurin reduction or by counting colony-forming units after sonication. To determine effects of halicin and the conventional antibiotics on biofilm viability, we defined MBEC 75 as the lowest concentration that decreased viability by 75% or more. To determine effects on bacterial viability in planktonic cultures, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined with the broth dilution method. Each result was measured in four to 10 independent experiments. RESULTS We found no differences between halicin's effectiveness against planktonic S. aureus and 3-day biofilms (MIC and MBEC 75 for 3-day biofilms was 25 μM [interquartile range 25 to 25 and 25 to 25, respectively]; p > 0.99). Halicin was eightfold less effective against more mature 7-day biofilms (MBEC 75 = 200 μM [100 to 200]; p < 0.001). Similarly, tobramycin was equally effective against planktonic culture and 3-day biofilms (MIC and MBEC 75 for 3-day biofilms was 20 μM [20 to 20 and 10 to 20, respectively]; p > 0.99). Tobramycin's MBEC 75 against more mature 7-day biofilms was 320 μM (320 to 480), which is 16-fold greater than its planktonic MIC (p = 0.03). In contrast, the MBEC 75 for cefazolin, vancomycin, and rifampicin against more mature 7-day biofilms were more than 1000-fold (> 1000; p < 0.001), 500-fold (500 to 875; p < 0.001), and 3125-fold (3125 to 5469; p = 0.004) greater than their planktonic MICs, respectively, consistent with those antibiotics' relative inactivity against biofilms. CONCLUSION Halicin was as effective against S. aureus in less mature 3-day biofilms as those in planktonic cultures, but eightfold higher concentrations were needed for more mature 7-day biofilms. Tobramycin, an antibiotic whose effectiveness depends on biofilm maturity, was also as effective against S. aureus in less mature 3-day biofilms as those in planktonic cultures, but 16-fold higher concentrations were needed for more mature 7-day biofilms. In contrast, cefazolin, vancomycin, and rifampicin were substantially less active against both less and more mature biofilms than against planktonic cultures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Halicin is a promising antibiotic that may be effective against S. aureus osteomyelitis and infections on orthopaedic implants. Future studies should assess the translational value of halicin by testing its effects in animal models of orthopaedic infections; on the biofilms of other bacterial species, including multidrug-resistant bacteria; and in combination therapy with conventional antibiotics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Precise osteochondroplasty is important in arthroscopic hip surgery for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Although computer-assisted surgery with a navigation system may enhance the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty, few clinical studies have assessed its accuracy. PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty by a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for cam-type FAI, using 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction with more detail compared with previous methods. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Twenty patients (14 men and 6 women) who underwent navigation-assisted arthroscopic surgery for cam-type FAI were included. The preoperative 3D model of the femur was constructed from each patient's CT data, and a planned model with virtual cam resection was generated. A femoral model was reconstructed from CT data postoperatively. The 3 models for each patient were overlaid using a 3D model registration method. Then, the contours of the bone resection area of each model were compared by measuring them. To measure the deviation between planned and actual bone resections, 4 cross-sectional images of the 3 femoral models were set at one-quarter intervals from the femoral head radius. All measurements were based on clockface lines set around the femoral neck axis at 30-minute intervals. Differences between the planned and postoperative contour lines were deemed resection deviations. RESULTS All cam resections were performed in the anterior half of the region of interest. Therefore, only the anterior half (48 points) of the 96 points per case were analyzed. In 876 (91.3%) points of the total measurement points (960 points/20 cases), the error in resection depth was within 3 mm. Overresection was observed at 35 (3.6%) points and underresection at 49 (5.1%) points. The observed maximum deviations from the planned models were 6.3 mm overresection and -7.1 mm underresection. The alpha angles of the postoperative model at the posterior 9- to 3-o'clock position were <55° in all patients. CONCLUSION Navigation-assisted arthroscopic osteochondroplasty showed favorable accuracy. Underresection was more frequent than overresection on the anterosuperior side of the femur, despite assistance of the navigation system.

Abstract
Background: The influence of pelvic tilt mobility, which can be reproduced in
computer-simulation models, is an important subject to be addressed in the
understanding of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) pathophysiology. Purpose: To use computer-simulation models of FAI cases to evaluate the optimum
improvement in hip range of motion (ROM) achieved by decreasing the anterior
pelvic tilt and compare the results with the improvement in ROM achieved
after cam resection surgery. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: The pre- and postoperative computed tomography (CT) images from 28 patients
with FAI treated with arthroscopic cam resection were evaluated. Using a
dynamic computer-simulation program, 3-dimensional models with a 5° and a
10° decrease in anterior pelvic tilt from the supine functional pelvic plane
(baseline) were created from the preoperative CT scans. Similar models were
constructed for hips before (at baseline) and after cam resection.
Improvements from baseline in maximum internal rotation at 45°, 70°, and 90°
of flexion were assessed for the 5° change in pelvic tilt, 10° change in
pelvic tilt, and cam resection models, and the results were compared for all
conditions. Results: The combination of a 10° change in pelvic tilt and cam resection showed the
largest ROM improvement from baseline (P < .001).
Improvement in internal rotation in the cam resection model was
significantly higher compared with the 5° pelvic tilt change model
(P < .001), while there was no significant
difference between the cam resection model and the 10° pelvic tilt change
model. Conclusion: Decreasing anterior pelvic tilt by 10° in the preoperative computer
simulation model resulted in an equivalent effect to cam resection, while a
5° change in pelvic tilt was inferior to cam resection in terms of ROM
improvement. Clinical Relevance: Enough of a decrease in anterior pelvic tilt may contribute to ROM
improvement that is as effective as that of cam resection surgery.

Abstract
Background Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) leads to loss of bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral implants, particularly in the proximal area. Loss of BMD around the implant is likely to occur within 1 year after THA; however, its severity depends on patient characteristics. This study evaluated preoperative factors correlated with the severity of zone 7 BMD loss after THA. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 48 patients who underwent primary THA from October 2011 to December 2015. All patients underwent implantation of a Zweymüller-type femoral component without any postoperative osteoporosis medications. The objective variable was a change in zone 7 BMD after 1 year. Factors evaluated included age, body mass index, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, Harris Hip Score, Canal Flare Index (CFI), and lumbar BMD on the frontal and lateral sides. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses identified factors correlated with loss of zone 7 BMD. Results Univariate regression analysis identified CFI (P = 0.003) and preoperative lumbar BMD on the anterior-posterior (P = 0.003) and lateral (P < 0.001) sides as being correlated with loss of zone 7 BMD. Multivariate regression analysis identified CFI (P = 0.014) and lumbar BMD on the lateral side (P < 0.001) as being correlated independently with loss of zone 7 BMD. Conclusion Lower preoperative lumbar BMD on the lateral side and lower CFI were correlated with zone 7 BMD loss after THA. Patients with these characteristics should be monitored carefully for severe BMD loss after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) impingement is an important risk factor for revision hip arthroscopy. Although a morphological classification system is available, evaluating AIIS impingement with respect to joint kinematics remains a challenge. PURPOSE To use computer simulation analysis to ascertain the prevalence of AIIS impingement before and after osteochondroplasty. METHODS A total of 35 joints from 30 cases (20 males and 10 females; average age: 43.3 ± 13.7 years) were analyzed. All joints had cam morphology and underwent hip arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. A three-dimensional model of each joint was constructed pre- and postoperatively. Joint kinematic simulation software (ZedHip®, Lexi, Tokyo) was used to identify the impingement point on the acetabular side and the incidence (expressed as a percentage) of AIIS impingement calculated. Radiographic and clinical evaluation was performed pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS AIIS impingement was observed postoperatively in six joints but preoperatively in only one joint. The rate of AIIS postoperative impingement was significantly higher than that of preoperative impingement. All impingement points were located on the inferior aspect of the AIIS apex. However, there were no significant differences between the AIIS impingement and non-impingement groups in terms of clinical outcome. CONCLUSION The incidence of AIIS impingement after osteochondroplasty was 17% by computer simulation analysis. Osteochondroplasty may result in subsequent AIIS impingement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This nationwide questionnaire survey was performed to clarify the prevalence of groin pain in unicycle athletes and to reveal the relationship between groin pain and factors such as age or athletic career. PATIENTS AND METHODS To evaluate the prevalence of groin pain, the questionnaire was sent to 1304 unicyclists belonging to the Japan Unicycle Association. All subjects aged 6 years or older at the time they answered the questionnaire. RESULTS Overall, 17% of unicyclists complained of groin pain. Pain was more common in those aged 13-19 years and in those with a career lasting more than 6 years. CONCLUSION The incidence of groin pain (17%) among unicyclists is higher than that among athletes participating in other sports. Unicyclists aged between 13 and 19 years old and those with an athletic career of more than 6 years often suffer from groin pain.

Abstract
Osteoblastoma is a relatively rare benign bone-forming tumor accounting for less than 1%
of all bone tumors. This report describes a patient with an osteoblastoma in the femoral
head complicated by coexistence of femoroacetabular impingement. A 25-year-old male rugby
football player complained of severe right hip pain after an injury during rugby practice.
The pain became progressively worse despite resting from sports activity and
rehabilitation for 4 months. The image inspection revealed bone tumor complicated by
cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and a labral injury. Hip arthroscopic surgery was
planned using a navigation system and a three-dimensional model for both complete
debridement and cam resection. The tumor was resected by open surgery using a posterior
approach. The bone tumor was diagnosed histopathologically as an osteoblastoma. The
patient’s symptoms improved markedly after surgery, with no evidence of local tumor
recurrence or hip arthritis 1 year later.

Abstract
Background: The labrum is likely to influence impingement, which may also depend on
acetabular coverage. Simulating impingement using 3-dimensional (3D)
computed tomography (CT) is a potential solution to evaluating range of
motion (ROM); however, it is based on bony structures rather than on soft
tissue. Purpose: To examine ROM when the labrum is considered in a 3D dynamic simulation. A
particular focus was evaluation of maximum flexion and internal rotation
angles before occurrence of impingement, comparing them in cases of cam-type
femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and borderline developmental dysplasia of
the hip (BDDH). Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT scans of 40 hips (20 with cam-type
FAI and 20 with BDDH) were reviewed retrospectively. The thickness and width
of the labrum were measured on MRI scans. A virtual labrum was reconstructed
based on patient-specific sizes measured on MRI scans. The impingement point
was identified using 3D dynamic simulation and was compared with the
internal rotation angle before and after labral reconstruction. Results: The thickness and width of the labrum were significantly larger in BDDH than
in FAI (P < .001). In FAI, the maximum internal rotation
angles without the labrum were 30.3° at 90° of flexion and 56.9° at 45° of
flexion, with these values decreasing to 18.7° and 41.4°, respectively,
after labral reconstruction (P < .001). In BDDH, the
maximum internal rotation angles were 48.0° at 90° of flexion and 76.7° at
45° of flexion without the labrum, decreasing to 31.1° and 55.3°,
respectively, after labral reconstruction (P < .001).
The differences in the angles before and after labral reconstruction were
larger in BDDH than in FAI (90° of flexion, P = .03; 45° of
flexion, P = .01). Conclusion: As the labrum was significantly more hypertrophic in BDDH than in FAI, the
virtual labral model revealed that the labrum’s interference with the
maximum internal rotation angle was also significantly larger in BDDH. Clinical Relevance: The labrum has a significant effect on impingement; this is more significant
for BDDH than for FAI.

Abstract
Background: The alpha angle used to evaluate cam morphology can be determined on different imaging views; however, 2-dimensional (2D) imaging can present limitations in terms of the reproducibility of the radial alpha angle. Recent developments in 3-dimensional (3D) high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have allowed detailed evaluations of the radial alpha angle. Purpose: To determine whether there are any correlations or discrepancies between the 2D alpha angle on plain radiography and the maximum radial alpha angle on 3D MRI. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A total of 42 hips from 39 patients (19 males, 20 females) were analyzed, including 22 hips with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI; mean age, 41 years) and 20 hips with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH; mean age, 43 years). Radial images were reconstructed from 3D multiple echo recombined gradient echo (MERGE) MRI. Differences in the maximum radial alpha angle on MRI between hips with FAI and BDDH were evaluated. Correlations and discrepancies between the maximum radial alpha angle on MRI and alpha angles on the anteroposterior, cross-table lateral, and 45° Dunn views of radiography were also evaluated. Results: The maximum radial alpha angle was significantly higher for hips with FAI than for hips with BDDH. On average, the greatest alpha angle on radial MRI was higher than the alpha angle on each of the 3 radiographic views for both FAI and BDDH. The 45° Dunn view revealed the smallest discrepancy for both FAI (P = .005) and BDDH (P = .002). The cross-table lateral view had the highest correlation with the maximum radial alpha angle for BDDH (P < .001). Conclusion: We reconfirmed the utility of the 45° Dunn view, with it presenting the best reproducibility for the maximum radial alpha angle in the evaluation of cam morphology, while the cross-table lateral view revealed the best correlation with the maximum radial alpha angle, particularly for hips with BDDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathology of the posterior acetabular lesions, so-called "contrecoup regions", in femorocacetabular impingement (FAI) has not been elucidated fully. 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can visualize abnormal uptake caused by impingement. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate posterior acetabular uptake on PET/CT in FAI patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with FAI who underwent 18F-fluoride PET/CT between October 2014 and October 2016 were retrospectively evaluated. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in the posterior acetabulum was evaluated. The mean SUVmax of FAI with cam morphology (the cam group) was compared with that of FAI with pincer morphology (the pincer group). In addition, the numbers of cases with SUVmax ≥ 6 and SUVmax < 6 in each group were evaluated. The entire study cohort was also grouped according to SUVmax, and the mean α and center edge angles were evaluated. RESULTS In total, 41 hips were analyzed (34 hips in the cam group and 7 in the pincer group). The mean SUVmax of the cam group (11.2 ± 7.4) was significantly higher than that of the pincer group (4.9 ± 1.9) (p < 0.01). The incidence of cases with SUVmax ≥ 6 in the cam group was significantly high (p < 0.01). In the overall cohort, the mean α angle of the SUVmax ≥ 6 group was significantly higher than that of the SUVmax < 6 group (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Evaluation of posterior acetabular uptake suggests an association between cam morphology and increased posterior acetabular uptake.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aimed to clarify the influence of comorbid severe knee osteoarthritis (KOA) on surgical outcome in terms of sagittal spinopelvic/lower-extremity alignment in elderly patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). METHODS In total, 110 patients aged at least 65 years (27 men, 83 women; mean age 74.0 years) who underwent short-segment lumbar fusion were included in the present study. Using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system, patients were categorized into those with no to mild KOA (the mild-OA group: KL grades 0-2), moderate KOA (moderate-OA group: KL grade 3), or severe KOA (severe-OA group: KL grade 4). Surgical results were assessed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring system, and spinopelvic/lower-extremity parameters were compared among the 3 groups. Adjacent-segment disease (ASD) was assessed over a mean follow-up period of 4.7 years (range 2-8.1 years). RESULTS The study cohort was split into the mild-OA group (42 patients), the moderate-OA group (28 patients), and the severe-OA group (40 patients). The severe-OA group contained significantly more women (p = 0.037) and patients with double-level listhesis (p = 0.012) compared with the other groups. No significant differences were found in mean postoperative JOA scores or recovery rate among the 3 groups. The mean postoperative JOA subscore for restriction of activities of daily living was only significantly lower in the severe-OA group compared with the other groups (p = 0.010). The severe-OA group exhibited significantly greater pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, and knee flexion angle (KFA), along with a smaller degree of lumbar lordosis than the mild-OA group both pre- and postoperatively (all p < 0.05). Overall, the rate of radiographic ASD was observed to be higher in the severe-OA group than in the mild-OA group (p = 0.015). Patients with ASD in the severe-OA group exhibited significantly greater pelvic tilt, pre- and postoperatively, along with less lumbar lordosis, than the patients without ASD postoperatively (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A lack of lumbar lordosis caused by double-level listhesis and knee flexion contracture compensated for by far greater pelvic retroversion is experienced by elderly patients with DLS and severe KOA. Therefore, corrective lumbar surgery and knee arthroplasty may be considered to improve sagittal alignment, which may contribute to the prevention of ASD, resulting in favorable long-term surgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) can induce bone mineral density (BMD) loss around the femoral implant. Several studies using drug have described methods to prevent BMD loss around implants following THA. Switching from teriparatide to alendronate was reported to increase lumbar BMD; on the other hands, it is unclear whether switching from teriparatide to alendronate is effective around the implant. The aim of this study is that changes in BMD is compared in patients switched from teriparatide to alendronate, in patients treated with alendronate alone, and in control patients without medication after total hip arthroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomized into three groups, those switched to alendronate after teriparatide (switch: n = 17), those receiving continuous alendronate (ALD: n = 15), and control untreated patients (control: n = 16) and followed up for 2 years after THA. Baseline periprosthetic BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 1 week after THA, followed by subsequent measurements at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Lumbar BMD was also evaluated at preoperatively, 1 and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Two years after surgery, BMD (%) at zone 1 was significantly higher in the switch group than in the control group (P = 0.02). BMD (%) at zone 7 was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than in the control group (P = 0.01, P = 0.03). Lumbar BMD (%) anterior-posterior (AP) side was significantly higher in the switch group than in the ALD and control groups 2 years after surgery. On the other hand, lumbar BMD (%) lateral side was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than control group 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Switching therapy had a significant effect on BMD of the lumbar spine and zones 1 and 7 at 2 years postoperatively. At zone 1 in particular, it was found to be more effective than ALD alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN, registry number UMIN000016158. Registered 8 January 2015.
