RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study compared the clinical and radiological results of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell implantation with traditional simple core decompression (CD) using a matched pair case-control design for osteonecrosis of the humeral head (ONHH) after fracture of the proximal humerus. PATIENTS: We retrospectively reviewed 64 patients who had surgery for ONHH. Thirty patients had been treated with cell therapy between 2010 and October 2015, with 18 patients at pre-collapse stage (8 stages-I, 10 stages-II), and 12 patients at post-collapse stages (7 stages-III and 5 stages-IV). Using a matched pair case-control design, these 30 study patients were compared to 34 other patients who were treated with simple core decompression (CD) without cells (control group). METHODS: The cell therapy group was treated with percutaneous mesenchymal cell (MSCs) injection obtained from bone marrow (BM) concentration. During a mean follow-up duration of 7years (5 to 10years), radiographs performed each year were used to evaluate the radiological results; the Constant score and visual analogue scale were chosen to assess the clinical results. We assessed stage progression, collapse and arthroplasty conversion rate. Survivor rate analysis was performed using these parameters as the primary endpoints. RESULTS: Among the 30 shoulders included in the cell therapy group, three (10%) humeral heads had collapsed at the most recent follow-up, versus 25 (74%) in 34 shoulders after simple core decompression (P<0.0001). As consequence, we observed statistically significant difference (P=0.0001) in the humeral head survival (absence of arthroplasty conversion) rate at the end time point between the cell therapy group (93% survival) and simple core decompression (26% survival). Better results were obtained for early stages (stages I and II) osteonecrosis without collapse at baseline. CONCLUSION: Core decompression with cell therapy was a safe and effective procedure for treatment in the pre-collapse stages of posttraumatic shoulder osteonecrosis and improved the outcome of the disease as compared with simple core decompression without cells.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of mesenchymal stem cells injections for treatment of post-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS: A total of 46 patients were eligible and enrolled in the study. Twenty-three patients were treated with cell therapy and 23 patients with hip arthroplasty (control group). During a minimum follow-up duration of 10years, radiographs were used to evaluate the radiological results, and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and visual analog scale were chosen to assess the clinical results. RESULTS: For the cell therapy group, the product obtained by bone marrow aspiration in the iliac crest before concentration had a mean value of 2480 MSCs/mL (range 730 to 3800). The concentration product was containing average 9300 MSCs/mL (range 3930 to 19,800). At the most recent follow-up (average 15years after the first surgery, range 10 to 20years), among the 23 hips treated with cell therapy (concentrate bone marrow), 6 hips (26%) had collapsed and had required total hip arthroplasty (THA) without revision. Among the 23 hips treated with a primary THA, 7 (30.4%) had required one revision (second THA) at a mean follow-up of 6years (range 1 to 12years); two of these 7 hips had a re-revision; principal causes of revision were recurrent dislocations (3 cases) aseptic loosening (3 revisions) and infection (1 revision). As consequence, we observed significant (P<0.01) better survival time before revision for the cell therapy group. Better results with cell therapy were obtained for treatment at early stages before collapse. CONCLUSION: The present study has demonstrated encouraging effects of cell therapy in early post-traumatic hip osteonecrosis and provides another choice for treatment in early stages I to II.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Owing to recent advances in cancer therapy, updated data are required for clinicians counselling patients on treatment of spinal metastases. OBJECTIVE: To analyse the outcomes of surgical treatments of spinal metastases. METHODS: Prospective and multicentric study that included consecutively patients operated on for spinal metastases between January 2016 and January 2017. Overall survival was calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazard model was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) analysing mortality risk according to preoperative Karnofsky performance status (KPS), mobility level and neurological status. RESULTS: A total of 252 patients were included (145 males, 107 females) aged a mean 63.3 years. Median survival was 450 days. Primary cancer sites were lung (21%) and breast (19%). Multiple spinal metastases involved 122 patients (48%). Concomitant skeletal and visceral metastases were noted in 90 patients (36%). Main procedure was laminectomy and posterior fixation (57%). Overall, pain and mobility level were improved postoperatively. Most patients had normal preoperative motor function (50%) and remained so postoperatively. Patients "bedbound" on admission were the less likely to recover. In-hospital death rate was 2.4% (three disease progression, one septic shock, one pneumonia, one pulmonary embolism). Complication rate was 33%, deep wound infection was the most frequent aetiology. Higher mortality was observed in patients with poorest preoperative KPS (KPS 0-40%, HR = 3.1, p < 0.001) and mobility level ("bedbound", HR = 2.16, p < 0.001). Survival seemed also to be linked to preoperative neurological function. CONCLUSION: Surgical treatments helped maintain reasonable condition for patients with spinal metastases. Intervention should be offered before patients' condition worsen to ensure better outcomes.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In a previous study, we investigated the link between the femoral offset (FO) loss by trochanteric impaction (TI) and cut-out complication occurrence after pertrochanteric fractures. Three major factors are likely to drive to failure after intramedullary nailing (IN): fracture stability, reduction quality and osteosynthesis quality. We wanted to investigate the quality of the fracture reduction through the TI and the neck-shaft angle (NSA) measurement and correlate these parameters with the risk of mechanical failure occurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a retrospective multicentric one case-one control match design study with age and gender randomization. The cases presented a mechanical failure of nailing: [Formula: see text] in percentage. Femoral rotation was taken into account, and all TI were rotation-corrected (TIcorrected). Rotation-corrected neck-shaft angles (NSAcorrected) were calculated. The neck-shaft angle gap between the fractured and the healthy sides (NSAgap) was a ratio: [Formula: see text] in percentage. The tip-apex distance (TAD) was measured. Absolute values of TIcorrected and NSAgap were analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-one cases and 21 controls were examined. The average TIcorrected rate was 30% for the cases and 11% for the controls (p = 0.007). A 13% TIcorrected threshold had maximum specificity and sensitivity, equal to 71%. The average TAD was 27 mm for cases and 19 mm for controls (p = 0.004). The average NSAgap rate was 7% for the case group and 4% for the control group (p = 0.009). The areas under the ROC curves for TIcorrected, TAD and NSAgap were 0.73, 0.73 and 0.66, respectively. INTERPRETATION: Closed reduction and exclusive implantation of IN do not seem optimal in case of FO or NSA restoration failure after pertrochanteric fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, case-control study.

Autogenous bone graft (autograft) remains the gold standard in the treatment of many orthopedic problems. However, graft harvest can lead to perioperative morbidity and increased cost. We tested the hypothesis that an osteoconductive matrix, beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP), would be a safe and effective alternative to autograft alone. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) is considered as one of the most promising biomaterials for bone reconstruction. This study analyzes the outcomes of patients who received ß-TCP as bone substitutes in orthopedic surgery. METHODS: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in a controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial to compare the safety and efficacy of ß-TCP (25 patients) with those of autograft (25 patients) in indications requiring usually autograft. These 50 patients were categorized according to the etiology and morphology of the 54 bone defects resulting from elective surgical procedures, such as 34 open-wedge high tibial osteotomies, and 20 osteonecrosis treatments with core decompression. Radiographic (healing process with or without integration of ß-TCP), clinical (no other surgical procedure), functional outcomes and safety (with or without complications) were assessed through fifty-two weeks postoperatively. RESULTS: With regard to the primary endpoint (radiographic evolution), the fusion rate of the 34 open-wedge osteotomies was 100% (17 among 17) for patients in the group with ß-TCP compared with 94% (16 among 17) for patients in the autograft group. For the 20 cavitary defects (osteonecrosis), the radiographic union rates, as determined by the presence of osseous bridging, were 100% for patients in the group with ß-TCP and 100% for those in the autograft group. Clinically at one year, all quality-of-life and functional outcome data supported non-inferiority of ß-TCP compared with autograft, and patients in the ß-TCP group were found to have less pain and an improved safety profile. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with ß-TCP resulted in comparable fusion rates, less pain and fewer side effects as compared with treatment with autograft. This study established clinical parameters where the ß-TCP alone can successfully support the osteogenic process.

The evolution of bone tissue quantity and quality in contact with the surface of orthopedic and dental implants is a strong determinant of the surgical outcome but remains difficult to be assessed quantitatively. The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) method to measure bone-implant interface (BII) properties. A dedicated animal model considering coin-shaped titanium implants with two levels of surface roughness (smooth, Sa = 0.49 µm and rough, Sa = 3.5 µm) allowed to work with a reproducible geometry and a planar interface. The implants were inserted in rabbit femurs and tibiae for 7 or 13 weeks. The ultrasonic response of the BII was measured ex vivo, leading to the determination of the 2-D spatial variations of bone in contact with the implant surface. Histological analysis was carried out to determine the bone-implant contact (BIC) ratio. The amplitude of the echo was significantly higher after 7 weeks of healing time compared to 13 weeks, for both smooth (p < 0.01) and rough (p < 0.05) implants. A negative correlation (R = - 0.63) was obtained between the ultrasonic response and the BIC. This QUS technique is more sensitive to changes of BII morphology compared to histological analyses.

BACKGROUND: Few data are available on the occurrence after stand-alone lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) of implant subsidence, whose definition and incidence vary across studies. The primary objective of this work was to determine the incidence of subsidence 1 year postoperatively, using an original measurement method, whose validity was first assessed. The secondary objective was to assess the clinical impact of subsidence. HYPOTHESIS: Implant subsidence after stand-alone LLIF is a common complication that can adversely affect clinical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Of 69 included patients who underwent stand-alone LLIF, 67 (97%) were re-evaluated at least 1 year later. Furthermore, 63 (91%) patients had two available computed tomography (CT) scans for assessing subsidence, one performed immediately after surgery and the other 1 year later. Reproducibility of the original measurement method was assessed in a preliminary study. Subsidence was defined as at least 4mm loss of fused space height. RESULTS: The incidence of subsidence was 32% (20 patients). Subsidence was global in 7 (11%) patients and partial in 13 (21%) patients. Mean loss of height was 5.5±1.5mm. Subsidence predominated anteriorly in 50% of cases. The lordotic curvature of the fused segment was altered in 50% of patients, by a mean of 8°±3°. Fusion was achieved in 67/69 (97%) patients. The Oswestry score and visual analogue scale scores for low-back and nerve-root pain were significantly improved after 1 year in the overall population and in the groups with and without subsidence. DISCUSSION: Reproducibility of our measurement method was found to be excellent. Subsidence was common but without significant clinical effects after 1 year. Nevertheless, subsidence can be associated with pain and can result in loss of lumbar lordosis, which is a potential risk factor for degenerative disease of the adjacent segments. A score for predicting the risk of subsidence will now be developed by our group as a tool for improving patient selection to stand-alone LLIF. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: Since knee osteoarthritis is unicompartmental in most cases, a knee osteotomy is the most logical solution to limit degeneration of the arthritic compartment, thereby delaying knee arthroplasty. Younger patients have high functional demands. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the return to sports and quality of life after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in athletic patients less than 60 years of age. The hypothesis was that patients can return to sports within 1 year of HTO. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-centre, retrospective study was performed of 30 patients under 60 years of age with medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis and no history of surgery or trauma who underwent HTO between January 2014 and August 2015. The primary endpoint was the return to sport at 1 year based on the Tegner score. Secondary endpoints were the subjective IKDC score, Lysholm score and SF-36. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 1.3 years [1-1.5] and no patients were lost to follow-up. All the patients had returned to sports at 1 year: 73.3% at their pre-surgery level (before the pain started) and 23.3% at a higher level. Their quality of life was significantly improved according to the SF-36 questionnaire: 65.3% pre-operatively compared with 72.5% postoperatively (P=0.01). The preoperative and 1-year postoperative scores were comparable for the Tegner (P=0.167), IKDC (P=0.093) and Lysholm (P=0.061). CONCLUSION: HTO allows patients to resume their sports activities within 1 year of surgery and significantly improves their quality of life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV - Retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Osteotomy is a rational approach to slowing knee osteoarthritis progression by modifying loads, thereby avoiding joint replacement in younger individuals. Varus femoral osteotomy is recommended only in patients with more than 10° of valgus. The objective here was to assess outcomes of tibial varus osteotomy in patients with lateral compartment tibio-femoral osteoarthritis and less than 10° of valgus. The hypothesis was that high tibial varus osteotomy produces satisfactory and long-lasting improvements. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted in 19 consecutive patients managed by high tibial varus osteotomy between January 2005 and May 2012. Mean age was 54.5years. The clinical IKS knee and function scores and radiological parameters were determined pre-operatively then after 6 and 12months and at last follow-up. The primary outcome measure was the global IKS score. Failure was defined as a global IKS score <140 or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Secondary outcome measures were a post-operative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle between 180° and 183° and less than 10° of joint line obliquity. The hypothesis was that high tibial varus osteotomy produced satisfactory and long-lasting improvements in lateral compartment tibio-femoral osteoarthritis. RESULTS: After the mean follow-up of 4.3years (range, 2-9years), 10/19 patients had a global IKS score <140. Among them, 7 underwent TKA after a mean of 5.0±2.7years. Varus tibial osteotomy was followed by significant improvements in the IKS knee and function scores from baseline to last follow-up (P<0.05). A global IKS<140 predicted TKA. Mean HKA angle values were 186.3±2.9° pre-operatively and 181.3°± 3.9°at last follow-up (P<0.05); the HKA angle was within the 180°-183° range in 8 (42.1%) patients. Mean post-operative joint line obliquity was 7.8±3.0°. An HKA angle outside the 180-183° range and joint line obliquity >10° were associated with poor outcomes. DISCUSSION: High tibial varus osteotomy produces unsatisfactory medium-term outcomes, with an overall failure rate of 52%. At present, high tibial varus osteotomy has no role in the management of lateral compartment tibio-femoral osteoarthritis with <10° of valgus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective cohort study.

Two black patients from Africa presented idiopathic tumoral calcinosis. This rare disease, defined by the presence of calcified deposits in peri-articular tissues remains poorly elucidated. Pathogenesis is still hypothetical. The diagnosis can be established with careful physical examination and appropriate complementary exams, allowing early complete surgical resection without biopsy. Pathology examination is required for formal differential diagnosis. The present tumors were particularly large, but did not produce signs of compression. In the first patient, the tumor developed after pregnancy in the zone of antibiotic injections. The second patient presented multiple bilateral symmetrical localizations with bone invasion. Histology confirmed the nature of the lesions and revealed bony metaplasie in the first patient, an element rarely described. Prognosis is excellent with early treatment. Recurrence is the rule in the event of incomplete resection. We discuss the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic management.

PURPOSE: L4-L5 isthmic spondylolisthesis may be associated with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) and altered venous vascular anatomy. The objectives of this study were to describe the anatomical characteristics of L4-L5 ISPL and the intraoperative difficulties encountered during the approach for anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). METHODS: This is a retrospective review of 20 ALIFs for L4-L5 ISPL. The anatomy of the common iliac veins confluence and the position of L4-L5 with respect to the projection of the iliac crest were analysed on CT-scan. Intraoperative difficulties were noted. RESULTS: A LSTV was present in 60% of cases, associated with abnormally distal positioning of L4-L5 below the projection of the iliac crest. The common iliac veins confluence was abnormally proximal compared to L4-L5. No complication was noted, even if the approach was unusually difficult in 11 cases. DISCUSSION: Anterior lumbotomies are difficult because the left common iliac vein courses transversely across the left anterolateral aspect of the L4-L5 disc and L5 vertebral body, increasing the risk of vascular injury. Those difficulties have led us to abandon lumbotomies to treat L4-L5 ISPL to favour a pure anterior approach (midline) or an exclusive posterior approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV (retrospective study).

INTRODUCTION: Discoid medial meniscus is a rare abnormality, with incidence estimated at 0.12%. The present study describes this congenital abnormality anatomically and reports clinical results in four symptomatic cases managed by surgery. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A retrospective study included three patients (2 female, 1 male), one of whom had bilateral pathology. Mean age at consultation was 18.5 years (range, 13 to 28 yrs). Presenting symptoms were knee pain, associated with acute locking (1 case) or recurrent effusion (1 case). Plain X-rays were normal. MRI found discoid medial meniscus in all four cases, with intrameniscal hypersignal on T2-weighted sequences. RESULTS: Arthroscopy confirmed the discoid abnormality of the medial menisci. Meniscal tear was systematically associated: horizontal in two cases and vertical in the other two. Three cases showed insertion defect of the anterior horn of the discoid medial meniscus. All two cases were managed by meniscoplasty, removing the central part of the meniscus and sparing its peripheral part. Meniscal repair was associated in one case. Subjective results were assessed by KOOS score. At a mean 23 months' follow-up (range, 7 to 54 months), mean KOOS score was 82.7 (range, 77.6 to 86.4): 88 ± 5 for pain, 89 ± 8 for other symptoms, 98 ± 1 for function, 69 ± 17 for sports activity, and 69 ± 16 for quality of life. CONCLUSION: Symptomatic discoid medial meniscus is frequently associated with bone insertion abnormality of the anterior horn. Meniscal tear is consistently present and revelatory, indicating meniscal tissue fragility, as in the lateral meniscus. Meniscoplasty, possibly with associated meniscal repair if the remaining meniscal wall is unstable, provides satisfactory but imperfect results while avoiding total meniscectomy, which would be disabling in this age group.
