RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF) is a complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). These occur intraoperatively or postoperatively, and documented risk factors of PFFs include women, age greater than 65 years, cementless stems, and inflammatory arthropathies. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the relationship of years of surgical experience and surgeon annual THA volume on intraoperative and postoperative PFFs. METHODS: Data were collected from a database query, and PFFs were identified as either intraoperative or postoperative. Intraoperative and postoperative PFFs were both compared to a control group of non-PFF patients. Years of surgical experience at the time of surgery and annual THA volume for the primary surgeon were calculated for all cases. Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios for each of the surgeon variables when adjusted for patient demographics. RESULTS: Thirty-seven intraoperative and 108 postoperative PFFs were identified and compared to 7,629 controls. From regression analyses, high-volume surgeons (≥50 THA/year) had lower odds of intraoperative PFF (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 0.40, P = .020) but not postoperative PFF (aOR = 1.02, P = .921). Surgeon experience (≥15 years since board certification at the time of surgery), was not significantly related to either PFF outcomes. For patient factors, age ≥65 years (aOR = 2.30, P < .001) and women (aOR = 2.69, P < .001) were both significant predictors of postoperative PFFs only. CONCLUSION: Surgeons who performed 50 or more THAs per year had significantly fewer intraoperative PFFs than surgeons who did less than 50 THAs per year. Surgeon experience was not significantly related to PFFs.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To measure creatine distribution in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients' myocardial segments and investigate whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) creatine mapping can detect subclinical myocardial changes, CEST's ability was further compared with other conventional CMR mapping sequences. METHODS: Forty IIM patients (53.5 ± 10.5 years, 26 males) and eight healthy controls (35.4 ± 6 years, 5 males) underwent CMR scans on a 3.0-T MR scanner. Patients with IIM were further classified into two subgroups according to cardiac troponin T (cTn-T) values: the elevated cTn-T subgroup (n = 14) and the normal cTn-T subgroup (n = 26). Cine imaging, T2 SPAIR, LGE imaging, T1 mapping, T2 mapping, and Cr (creatine) CEST were performed. RESULTS: Cr mapping showed significantly reduced creatine in IIM patients among global myocardium (IIM: 0.109 ± 0.063, controls: 0.121 ± 0.021, p < 0.05), and decreased creatine signals were detected in all 16 cardiac segments (p < 0.05). Patients also had significantly prolonged native T1 and decreased enhanced T1 values in each cardiac segment (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference of LVEF and T2 values between IIM patients and controls. Between the two subgroups, elevated cTn-T was linked with creatine and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) values, providing a global average creatine signal of 0.107 vs 0.112 (p < 0.05) and 24.7 vs 32.4 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Creatine CEST mapping can detect early-stage heart involvement with negative LGE findings in IIM. Compared with T1 mapping, CEST provides increased sensitivity to ECV measurement, making it significantly better than T1, and a promising CMR sequence for screening subclinical myocardial damage. KEY POINTS: • IIM patients with potential or ongoing heart involvement, elevated ECV, and reduced Cr CEST values could provide valuable information. • ECV and Cr CEST values were closely related to elevated cTn-T.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Intravenous dexamethasone has been shown to reduce pain in total joint arthroplasty. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial investigated the postoperative effects and safety of oral dexamethasone as a potential augment to multimodal pain management in outpatient knee arthroplasty. METHODS: The authors prospectively randomized 109 consecutive patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty. Patients assigned to Group A (57 patients) received 4 mg of dexamethasone by mouth twice per day starting postoperative day (POD) 1 for 4 days and those assigned to Group B received placebo capsules. All healthcare professionals and patients were blinded to group allocation. The primary outcome was defined as postoperative pain scores. Secondary outcomes included 90-day postoperative complications, nausea and vomiting, daily opioid usage, assistance for ambulation, difficulty sleeping, and early patient reported outcomes. Demographics were similar between groups. RESULTS: The patients who received dexamethasone had a statistically significant decrease in VAS scores when averaging POD 1 to 4 (P = .01). The average VAS scores among individual days were significantly lower with dexamethasone on POD 2, 3, and 4. While taking dexamethasone, morning and mid-day VAS scores were significantly lower. There was no difference between the groups with opioid use, nausea or vomiting, 90-day complications, ability to walk with/without assistance, difficulty sleeping, and early patient reported outcomes. CONCLUSION: This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that oral dexamethasone following primary total knee arthroplasty can reduce postoperative pain. This may be a beneficial option in ambulatory surgery where intravenous limitations exist, but larger series are needed to further evaluate the safety profile in this population.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (R-THA) affords precision yet uncertain clinical benefits. This study compares dislocation rates and related revisions between R-THA and manual total hip arthroplasty (M-THA). Secondarily we evaluated cup position, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and postoperative complications. METHODS: A three-surgeon cohort study was conducted on 2247 consecutive patients (1724 M-THA and 523 R-THA) who received a primary THA between January 2014 and June 2020 at a single hospital. Demographics, PROMs, emergency department visits, readmissions, and 90-day complications were collected via the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative. Chart review yielded instability occurrence with an average follow-up of 4 years. Multivariate regression analysis was performed, and a sample of 368 radiographs, including all dislocations, were assessed. RESULTS: There were significantly lower rates of dislocation in R-THA (0.6%) vs M-THA (2.5%; Multivariate odds ratio 3.74, P < .046). All cases of unstable R-THA were successfully treated conservatively, whereas 46% of unstable M-THA were revised for recurrent instability. Cup anteversion (25.6° ± 5.4° R-THA vs 20.6° ± 7.6° M-THA) was greater, and cup inclination (42.5° ± 5.3° R-THA vs 47.0° ± 6.7° M-THA) was lower in the R-THA group (P < .05). No significant differences were noted for demographics, PROMs, or other complications (P > .05). CONCLUSION: R-THA resulted in less than one-fourth the dislocation rate compared to M-THA and no revision for instability. It was associated with no difference in PROMs or other early complications. The influence of R-THA on stability goes beyond simply cup positioning and deserves further study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This study aims to determine if socioeconomic (SE) parameters, primarily area deprivation index (ADI), relate to postoperative emergency department (ED) visits after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 2655 patients who underwent TKA in a health system of 4 hospitals. The primary outcome was an ED visit within 90 days, which was divided into those with and without readmission. SE parameters including ADI as well as preoperative demographics were analyzed. Univariable and multiple logistic regressions were performed determining risk of 90-day postoperative ED visits, as well as once in the ED, risks for readmission. RESULTS: 436 patients (16.4%) presented to the ED within 90 days. ADI was not a risk factor. The multiple logistic regression demonstrated men, Medicare or Medicaid, and preoperative ED visits were consistently risk factors for a postoperative ED visit with and without readmission. Preoperative anticoagulation was only a risk factor for ED visits with readmission. Among patients who visited the ED, if the patient was Caucasian, a lower BMI, or higher American Society of Anesthesiologists score, they were likely to be readmitted. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated that the percentage of early ED returns after TKA was high and that ADI was not a predictor for 90-day postoperative ED visit. The only SE factor that may contribute to this phenomenon was insurance type. Once in the ED, race, preoperative ED visits, preoperative anticoagulation, BMI, gender, and preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists score contributed to a risk of readmission. The study supports hospitals' mission to provide equal access health care.

RESUMEN

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect that concurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) medications had on early outcomes following primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA). 2653 total knee and hip arthroplasties were reviewed at a tertiary medical center. The study performed a multivariable comparison of outcomes in patients on 2 or more VTE medications, as well as a logistic regression on outcomes following each addition of a VTE medication postoperatively (number of VTE medications was 1-4). Controlling for gender, age, body mass index, and preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists score throughout the analysis, patients who received 2 or more VTE prophylaxis medications had increased LOS (p < 0.001), transfusions (p < 0.001), emergency department visits (p=0.001), readmissions (p < 0.001), 90dPOE (p < 0.001), and PE (p < 0.001). Every additional postoperative VTE medication incrementally increased the risk for longer LOS (p < 0.001), transfusions (p < 0.001), 90dPOE (p < 0.001), deep vein thrombosis (p=0.049), PE (p < 0.001), emergency department visits (p=0.005), and readmission (p=0.010). Patients on multiple VTE medications following TJA demonstrate significantly poorer outcomes. The current study's findings caution the use of multiple VTE medications whenever possible immediately following a TJA.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: We sought to distinguish area at risk from salvage myocardial zone and to predict left ventricle functional recovery in the convalescent stage by Texture Analysis (TA) of T2-Mapping. METHODS: One hundred and six patients diagnosed with AMI and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) underwent acute cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and 45 of whom had a subsequent CMR scan following recovery. Cine imaging, T2-Mapping, T2-weighted STIR imaging, and LGE imaging were performed. In the texture analysis, regions of interest (infarcted, salvageable, and remote) were drawn by two blinded, independent readers. RESULTS: Seven independent texture features on T2-Mapping were selected: Perc.50%, S(2,2)InvDfMom, S(2.-2)AngScMom, S(4,0)Entropy, 45dgrLngREmph, 45dgr_Fraction and 135dr_GLevNonU. Among them, the average value of 135dr_GLevNonU in the infarct zone, AAR zone, and the remote zone was: 61.96±26.03, 31.811±18.933 and 99.839±26.231, respectively. Additionally, 135dr_GLevNonU provided the highest area under the curve (AUC) from the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) for distinguishing AAR from the infarct zone in each subgroup (all patients, patients with MVO and)were 0.845 ± 0.052 0.855 ± 0.083 and 0.845 ± 0.066, respectively, and were more promise than T2-Mapping mean (p<0.001). The AUC for differentiating AAR from the remote zone is 0.942±0.041. Texture features are not associated with convalescent decreased strain, ejection fraction (EF) or left ventricle remodeling (LVR) in analysis (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: TA of T2-mapping can distinguish AAR from both the infarct zone and the remote myocardial zone without LGE imaging in reperfused AMI. However, these features are not able to predict patients' functional recovery in the convalescent stage.

RESUMEN

AIMS: In order to determine acute cardiac involvement in patients with COVID-19, we quantitatively evaluated tissue characteristics and mechanics by non-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in a cohort of patients within the first 10 days of the onset of COVID symptoms. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-five patients with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction confirmed COVID-19 and at least one marker of cardiac involvement [cardiac symptoms, abnormal electrocardiograph (ECG), or abnormal cardiac biomarkers] and 25 healthy age- and gender-matched control subjects were recruited to the study. Patients were divided into those with elevated (n = 8) or normal TnI (n = 17). There were significant differences in global longitudinal strain among patients who were positive and negative for hs-TnI, and controls [-12.3 (-13.3, -11.5)%, -13.1 (-14.2, -9.8)%, and -15.7 (-18.3, -12.7)%, P = 0.004]. Native myocardial T1 relaxation times in patients with positive and negative hs-TnI manifestation (1169.8 ± 12.9 and 1113.2 ± 31.2 ms) were significantly higher than the normal (1065 ± 57 ms) subjects, respectively (P < 0.001). The extracellular volume (ECV) of patients who were positive and negative for hs-TnI was higher than that of the normal controls [32 (31, 33)%, 29 (27, 30)%, and 26 (24, 27.5)%, P < 0.001]. In our study, quantitative T2 mapping in patients who were positive and negative for hs-TnI [51 (47.9, 52.8) and 48 (47, 49.4) ms] was significantly higher than the normal [42 (41, 45.2) ms] subjects (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In patients with early-stage COVID-19, myocardial oedema, and functional abnormalities are a frequent finding, while irreversible regional injury such as necrosis may be infrequent.
