RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Blood-based biomarkers are a non-invasive solution to predict the risk of conversion of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia. The utility of free plasma amyloid peptides (not bound to plasma proteins and/or cells) as an early indicator of conversion to dementia is still debated, as the results of studies have been contradictory. In this context, we investigated whether plasma levels of the free amyloid peptides Aß1-42 and Aß1-40 and the free plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio are associated with the conversion of MCI to dementia, in particular AD, over three years of follow-up in a subgroup of the BALTAZAR cohort. We also compared their predictive value to that of total plasma Aß1-42 and Aß1-40 levels and the total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio. METHODS: The plasma Aß1-42 and Aß1-40 peptide assay was performed using the INNO-BIA kit (Fujirebio Europe). Free amyloid levels (defined by the amyloid fraction directly accessible to antibodies of the assay) were obtained with the undiluted plasma, whereas total amyloid levels were obtained after the dilution of plasma (1/3) with a denaturing buffer. Free and total Aß1-42 and Aß1-40 levels were measured at inclusion for a subgroup of participants (N = 106) with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the BALTAZAR study (a large-scale longitudinal multicenter cohort with a three-year follow-up). Associations between conversion and the free/total plasma Aß1-42 and Aß1-40 levels and Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio were analyzed using logistic and Cox Proportional Hazards models. Demographic, clinical, cognitive (MMSE, ADL and IADL), APOE, and MRI characteristics (relative hippocampal volume) were compared using non-parametric (Mann-Whitney) or parametric (Student) tests for quantitative variables and Chi-square or Fisher exact tests for qualitative variables. RESULTS: The risk of conversion to dementia was lower for patients in the highest quartile of free plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 (≥ 25.8%) than those in the three lower quartiles: hazard ratio = 0.36 (95% confidence interval [0.15-0.87]), after adjustment for age, sex, education, and APOE ε4 (p-value = 0.022). This was comparable to the risk of conversion in the highest quartile of total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40: hazard ratio = 0.37 (95% confidence interval [0.16-0.89], p-value = 0.027). However, while patients in the highest quartile of total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 showed higher MMSE scores and a higher hippocampal volume than patients in the three lowest quartiles of total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40, as well as normal CSF biomarker levels, the patients in the highest quartile of free plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 did not show any significant differences in MMSE scores, hippocampal volume, or CSF biomarker levels relative to the three lowest quartiles of free plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40. CONCLUSION: The free plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio is associated with a risk of conversion from MCI to dementia within three years, with performance comparable to that of the total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio. Threshold levels of the free and total plasma Aß1-42/Aß1-40 ratio could be determined, with a 60% lower risk of conversion for patients above the threshold than those below.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The monogenic forms of Parkinson's disease represent <10% of familial cases and a still lower frequency of sporadic cases. However, guidelines to orient genetic testing are lacking. The aim was to establish the interest of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) as a primary screening test and to propose clinical criteria to guide genetic diagnostic tests for patients with suspected Mendelian Parkinson's disease. METHODS: In all, 567 patients with parkinsonism from 547 unrelated families were recruited and two MLPAs were performed for each. All pathogenic G2019S variants in the LRRK2 gene were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and the PRKN gene was screened for a second mutation in the cases of one heterozygous structural variant in the PRKN gene. RESULTS: The performance of MLPA was 51/567 (9%) for the entire cohort and included 27 (4.8%) LRRK2 G2019S mutations, 19 (3.4%) PRKN mutations and five (0.9%) SNCA locus duplications. The variables significantly associated with a positive test in the total cohort were North African ancestry (p < 0.0001), female sex (p = 0.004) and younger age at onset (p < 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS: Retrospective analysis allowed us to refine our indication criteria: (i) North African ancestry, (ii) an age at onset <40 years or (iii) a familial history of parkinsonism with at least one affected first-degree relative. Our study highlights the interest of MLPA testing for other parkinsonism cases with a family history, especially for patients with dementia with Lewy bodies or a multiple-system-atrophy-like phenotype.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the complications rate of cesarean section delivery based on degree of labour emergency. STUDY DESIGN: Monocentric (Lille, France), retrospective study of all term, singleton, and cesarean deliveries during labour. Three groups were categorized based on the degree of emergency according to a color code: green (no time limit between surgical decision and birth), orange (birth within 30 min), and red (birth within 20 min). Scheduled cesareans were excluded. Complications were defined as minor/major and intra-/post-operative. RESULTS: A total of 881 patients were included. Among these, 303 (34.5 %) were in the green group, 353 (40.1 %) in the orange group, and 225 (25.4 %) in the red group. Major intra-operative complications, mainly postpartum hemorrhage, were more frequent in the red group compared with the green group (16.9 % vs. 9.9 %, p = 0.05; OR 1.9; 95 % CI [1.1-3.1]). Among the minor complications, there was no difference on moderate postpartum hemorrhage and four times uterine artery wounds in the red group (1.7 % vs. 7.1 %, respectively; p = 0.007; OR 4.6; 95 % CI [1.6-12.6]). The overall major post-operative complication rate, mainly infectious morbidity, was 6.1 % and this was more frequent in the red group compared with the green group (12.4 % vs. 1.7 %, respectively; p < 0.0001; OR 8.5; 95 % CI [3.2-22.3]). CONCLUSION: Pre- and post-operative complications of cesarean section delivery during labour (i.e., emergency cesarean) increase with the degree of labour emergency. It would be ideal to identify women in labour who are at increased risk of emergency cesarean earlier, so that the situation does not escalate to a red code cesarean.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Follow-up MR imaging of brain AVMs currently relies on contrast-enhanced sequences. Noncontrast techniques, including arterial spin-labeling and TOF, may have value in detecting a residual nidus after radiosurgery. The aim of this study was to compare noncontrast with contrast-enhanced MR imaging for the differentiation of residual-versus-obliterated brain AVMs in radiosurgically treated patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight consecutive patients with small brain AVMs (<20 mm) treated by radiosurgery were followed with the same MR imaging protocol. Three neuroradiologists, blinded to the results, independently reviewed the following: 1) postcontrast images alone (4D contrast-enhanced MRA and postcontrast 3D T1 gradient recalled-echo), 2) arterial spin-labeling and TOF images alone, and 3) all MR images combined. The primary end point was the detection of residual brain AVMs using a 5-point scale, with DSA as the reference standard. RESULTS: The highest interobserver agreement was for arterial spin-labeling/TOF (κ = 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.66-0.93). Regarding brain AVM detection, arterial spin-labeling/TOF had higher sensitivity (sensitivity, 85%; specificity, 100%; 95% CI, 62-97) than contrast-enhanced MR imaging (sensitivity, 55%; specificity, 100%; 95% CI, 27-73) and all MR images combined (sensitivity, 75%; specificity, 100%; 95% CI, 51-91) (P = .008). All nidus obliterations on DSA were detected on MR imaging. In 6 patients, a residual brain AVM present on DSA was only detected with arterial spin-labeling/TOF, including 3 based solely on arterial spin-labeling images. CONCLUSIONS: In this study of radiosurgically treated patients with small brain AVMs, arterial spin-labeling/TOF was found to be superior to gadolinium-enhanced MR imaging in detecting residual AVMs.

BACKGROUND: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is an alternative to total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis in patients younger than 50 years. Data on revision rates after HRA are conflicting. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends performing only those hip arthroplasty procedures associated with 10-year revision rates no greater than 5% (0.5% per year). Follow-up studies can rapidly determine whether this criterion is met. The uncertainties surrounding revision rates after HRA prompted us to design a study of prospectively enrolled patients aiming (1) to determine the revision rate after HRA performed before 50years of age and (2) to assess the functional, radiological, and biological outcomes of HRA. HYPOTHESIS: The revision rate after HRA performed before 50years of age meets the NICE criterion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Consecutive patients undergoing HRA before 50years of age were enrolled prospectively. The same implant was used in all patients. Functional outcomes were assessed based on the Harris Hip Score (HHS), Postel-Merle d'Aubigné (PMA) score, 12-item Oxford Hip Score (OHS), and UCLA activity score. Radiographic outcomes were assessed, and blood levels of chromium and cobalt were assayed. RESULTS: The study included 936 patients (979 HRAs) with a mean age of 42.7years (16.4-50.0years) at surgery and a mean follow-up of 5.1years (range: 3.1-9.0 years). All four mean functional scores were significantly improved at last follow-up vs. baseline: HHS, 95.9 (39.0-100) vs. 44.3 (18.0-83.0); PMA score, 17.6 (6.0-18.0) vs. 11.7 (3.0-16.0); OHS, 14.3 (12.0-37.0) vs. 40.6 (25.0-60.0); and UCLA activity score, 7.8 (2.0-10.0) vs. 5.6 (1.0-10.0) (p<0.0001). Mean cup inclination in the coronal plane was 42.1° (25.0°-68.0°). Mean blood cobalt level was significantly higher at last follow-up than at baseline (1.36µg/L [0.05-8.2µg/L] vs. 0.61µg/L [0.01-3.6]) (p<0.001). No patient experienced dislocation. Revision was required for 17 hips and involved changing the implant in 12 (1.2%). The 10-year survival rate with implant change, as the endpoint was 98.7% (95%CI, 97.6%-99.3%), indicating that the NICE criterion was easily met. DISCUSSION: The NICE criterion allows the rapid identification of prostheses with insufficient survival. HRA is theoretically associated with a high risk of aseptic mechanical loosening, as it is performed in young patients who have a high level of physical activity. Nevertheless, our study showed that implant survival after HRA was better than required by the NICE criterion. Thus, HRA is a valid alterative to THA in patients younger than 50years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, prospective study with no control group.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the compliance of the color codes protocol according to the indication of ceasarean section and on the decision-to-delivery interval according to the color code, the operator and the period. METHODS: This is a retrospective monocentric study including women who had to undergo an emergency cesarean section after 37 weeks of amenorrhea in the Jeanne-de-Flandre hospital between 2015 and 2017. Three groups were created: cesarean section with green code, orange code and red code. We compared population characteristics and obstetrical data, then drew up a reassessed color code and analyzed the correspondence between the initial color code and the reassessed one. Finally, we considered the respect of decision-to-delivery interval according to color code, operator level and period. RESULTS: Eight hundred and eighty-one patients were included, amongst which 303 (34%) fell into the green c-section, 353 (40%) into the orange c-section and 225 (26%) into the red c-section. In the three groups, there was a significant consistency between the initial color code and the reassessed one, with a kappa agreement test of 95% 0.95 (0.93-0.97). The average decision-to-delivery interval was 37±20min for the green c-section, 20±6min for the orange c-section and 12±3min for the red c-section with a significant respect of the decision-to-delivery interval according to color code P<0.001. The decision-to-delivery interval was similar considering the operator level and the period. CONCLUSION: In our study, we observed the compliance with color code regarding the indication of ceasarean section and the respect of the decision-to-delivery interval whatever the time of occurrence and the operator.

BACKGROUND: Previous surgical procedures raise technical challenges in performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and may affect TKA outcomes. Survival rates of TKA done after trauma or surgery to the knee have not been accurately determined in large populations. The objectives of this retrospective study in 263 patients with TKA after knee trauma or surgery and a follow-up of 10 years were to assess survival, functional outcomes, and the nature and frequency of complications. HYPOTHESIS: Knee trauma or surgery before TKA increases the risk of complications and decreases implant survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-three patients (122 [47%] females and 141 [53%] males) underwent TKA between 2005 and 2009 at nine centres in France. Mean age at surgery was 61 years. The patients had knee osteoarthritis secondary to a fracture (n=66), osteotomy (n=131), or ligament injury (n=66). Mean time from trauma or surgery to TKA was 145 months (range, 72-219 months). RESULTS: Major complications were infection (n=12, 4.5%), skin problems (n=8, 3%), and stiffness (n=8, 3%). Ten-year survival to implant exchange for any reason was 89%±2.8%. Flexion range increased by 2.5°±17° (p=0.02) to a mean of 110° (range, 30° to 140°); extension range increased by 4°±7° (p<0.001) to a mean of -1.19 (range, -20° to 0°). Of the 263 patients, 157 (60%) reported little or no pain at last follow-up. Mean postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle was 179°±3.2° (range, 171°-188°). CONCLUSION: TKA performed after knee injury or surgery carries a risk of specific complications (infection, skin problems, and stiffness) and may have a lower survival rate compared to primary TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective cohort study.

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to compare conventional X-ray defecography and dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) defecography in the diagnosis of pelvic floor prolapse of the posterior compartment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty women with a mean age of 65.5 years (range: 53-72 years) who underwent X-ray defecography and MR defecography for clinical suspicion of posterior compartment dysfunction, were included in this retrospective study. X-ray defecography and dynamic MR defecography were reviewed separately for the presence of pelvic organ prolapse. The results of the combination of X-ray defecography and MR defecography were used as the standard of reference. Differences in sensitivities between X-ray defecography and MR defecography were compared using the McNemar test. RESULTS: With the gold standard, we evidenced a total of 22 cases of peritoneocele (17 elytroceles, 3 hedroceles and 2 elytroceles+hedroceles), including 15 cases of enterocele, 28 patients with rectocele including 16 that retained contrast, 37 cases of rectal prolapse, and 11 cases of anismus. The sensitivities of X-ray defecography were 90.9% for the diagnosis of peritoneocele, 71.4% for rectocele, 81.1% for rectal prolapse and 63.6% for anismus. The sensitivities of MR defecography for the same diagnoses were 86.4%, 78.6%, 62.2% and 63.6%, respectively. For all these pathologies, no significant differences between X-ray defecography and MR defecography were found. CONCLUSION: Dynamic MR defecography is equivalent to X-ray defecography for the diagnosis of abnormalities of the posterior compartment of the pelvic floor.

BACKGROUND: Various factors contribute to instability of total hip arthroplasty (THA), with implant orientation being a major contributor. We performed a case-control study with computed tomography (CT) data to determine whether: 1) orientation contributes to THA instability and 2) a safer target zone for stability than Lewinnek's classic safe zone can be defined. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We included prospectively 363 cases of THA dislocation that occurred during the calendar 2013 year in 24 participating hospitals. Of the 128 dislocations that occurred in patients who underwent THA at these centers, 56 (24 anterior, 32 posterior) had CT scans, thus were included in the analysis. The control group was matched 4:1 based on implant type, year of implantation, age, sex, bearing types and THA indication. Of the 428 matched control THA cases, 93 had CT scans. In all, the CT scans from 149 cases (56 unstable, 93 stable) were analyzed to determine the acetabular cup's inclination and anteversion, and the femoral stem's anteversion. RESULTS: In the unstable THA group, cup inclination was 46.9°±7.4°, cup anteversion was 20.4°±10.8° and stem anteversion was 14.2°±9.9°. In the stable THA group, cup inclination was 44.9°±5.3° (P=0.057), cup anteversion was 22.1°±5.1° (P=0.009) and stem anteversion was 13.4°±4.4° (P=0.362). The optimal total anteversion (cup+stem) of 40-60° was achieved in 16.5% of unstable THA cases and 13.9% of stable THA cases, thus this parameter does not predict stability (odds ratio [OR] of 0.40, P=0.144). The cup was positioned in Lewinnek's safe zone in 44.6% of patients in the unstable group and 68.2% of those in the stable group (OR 3.74, P=0.003). A target zone defined as 40-50° inclination and 15-30° anteversion was better able to distinguish between unstable cases (23.2%) and stable cases (71.6%) resulting in an OR of 13.91 (P<0.001). DISCUSSION: Implant positioning was the only risk factor for instability found in this study. Moreover, our findings reinforce the theory put forward by other authors that Lewinnek's safe zone is not specific enough to differentiate between stable and unstable THA implantations. The target zone for acetabular cups proposed here (40-50° inclination and 15°-30° anteversion) is related to a lower risk of instability. This orientation can be used as a guide, but must be combined with other technical elements to optimize stability. By balancing stability and biomechanics, the 40-50° inclination and 15°-30° anteversion target zone redefines the optimal positioning window. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III case-control study.

INTRODUCTION: Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a leading reason for surgical revision. The risk factors for dislocation are controversial, particularly those related to the patient and to the surgical procedure itself. The differences in opinion on the impact of these factors stem from the fact they are often evaluated using retrospective studies or in limited patient populations. This led us to carry out a prospective case-control study on a large population to determine: 1) the risk factors for dislocation after THA, 2) the features of these dislocations, and 3) the contribution of patient-related factors and surgery-related factors. HYPOTHESIS: Risk factors for dislocation related to the patient and procedure can be identified using a large case-control study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multicenter, prospective case-control study was performed between January 1 and December 31, 2013. Four patients with stable THAs were matched to each patient with a dislocated THA. This led to 566 primary THA cases being included: 128 unstable, 438 stable. The primary matching factors were sex, age, initial diagnosis, surgical approach, implantation date and type of implants (bearing size, standard or dual-mobility cup). RESULTS: The patients with unstable THAs were 67±12 [37-73]years old on average; there were 61 women (48%) and 67 men (52%). Hip osteoarthritis (OA) was the main reason for the THA procedure in 71% (91/128) of the unstable group. The dislocation was posterior in 84 cases and anterior in 44 cases. The dislocation occurred within 3 months of the primary surgery in 48 cases (38%), 3 to 12 months after in 23 cases (18%), 1 to 5years after in 20 cases (16%), 5 to 10years after in 17 cases (13%) and more than 10years later in 20 cases. The dislocation recurred within 6 months of the initial dislocation in 23 of the 128 cases (18%). The risk factors for instability were a high ASA score with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.93 (95% CI: 1.4-2.6), neurological disability (cognitive, motor or psychiatric disorders) with an OR of 3.9 (95% CI: 2.15-7.1), history of spinal disease (lumbar stenosis, spinal fusion, discectomy, scoliosis and injury sequelae) with an OR of 1.89 (95% CI: 1.0-3.6), unrepaired joint capsule (all approaches) with an OR of 4.1 (95% CI: 2.3-7.37), unrepaired joint capsule (posterior approach) with an OR of 6.0 (95% CI: 2.2-15.9), and cup inclination outside Lewinnek's safe zone (30°-50°) with OR of 2.4 (95% CI: 1.4-4.0). DISCUSSION: This large comparative study isolated important patient-related factors for dislocation that surgeons must be aware of. We also found evidence that implanting the cup in 30° to 50° inclination has a major impact on preventing dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III; case-control study.

AIMS: 1) To confirm the association between delay for assessment (DFA) and probability of first-time attendance in outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. 2) To evaluate whether this association varies by the type of primary substance for which the assessment was requested. 3) To assess the possibility of estimating differential DFAs to conform to equal probabilities of attendance across various types of primary substance. METHODS: A prospective observational cohort of consecutive patients (N=1015) who requested a first-time assessment appointment at a publicly funded outpatient SUD treatment center in France between January 2014 and December 2015 was conducted. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between DFA (after log-transformation) and attendance and to provide estimates of attendance probability over time by the type of primary substance. FINDINGS: After adjusting for gender, age and referral status, the attendance rate was observed to decrease significantly with longer DFA (OR=0.54; 95%CI: 0.44-0.66). The strength of this association differed across types of primary substance (p for heterogeneity <0.0001), with the strongest association being found for opioids (adjusted OR=0.21; 95%CI: 0.10-0.45). DFA was also associated with attendance for alcohol (OR=0.51; 95%CI: 0.37-0.71) and cannabis (OR=0.60; 95%CI: 0.37-0.96), but not for tobacco (OR=0.95; 95%CI: 0.60-1.50). Differential DFAs reflecting equal probabilities of attendance across types of substance could be estimated. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the approach of stratifying DFAs by the type of primary substance could be helpful to improve the probability of first-time attendance in outpatient SUD treatment services.

INTRODUCTION: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction associated to anterior tibial tuberosity transfer (ATTT) is recommended in objective patellofemoral instability (PFI). Efficacy, however, has not been precisely determined in trochlear dysplasia with spur. A case-control study was performed in a PFI population, comparing groups with trochlear dysplasia with and without spur (S+ vs. S-) to assess the impact of trochlear dysplasia on (1) patellofemoral stability, (2) functional results and complications, and (3) patellofemoral cartilage status on MRI. HYPOTHESIS: Trochlear spur does not affect outcome in PFI managed by MPFL reconstruction and ATTT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-eight knees (26 patients) with PFI were analyzed retrospectively and divided into 2 groups of 14 knees each according to presence of trochlear spur (S+ vs. S-). All 28 knees had undergone ATTT and MPFL reconstruction by semitendinosus autograft. Results were assessed on Lille and IKDC functional scores, and cartilage status was determined on MRI at last follow-up. RESULTS: At a mean 24 months' follow-up (range, 12-52 months), there was no recurrence of dislocation. IKDC and Lille scores tended to improve in both groups, although the only significant improvement was in IKDC score (S- gain, 21.3±16; S+ gain, 18.1±14) (P=0.01). IKDC scores at last follow-up were better in the S+ than S- group (79±19 [range, 21-92] vs. 68±13 [range, 35-84], respectively; P=0.012). Lille scores showed no significant inter-group differences in mean gain (P=0.492) or mean value (P=0.381). The S+ group showed more cartilage lesions (n=14/14 knees, including 12/14 with grade≥2 lesions) than the S- group (n=9/14 knees, all grade≤2). CONCLUSION: MPFL reconstruction with ATTT provided good short-term patellofemoral stability independently of the severity of trochlear dysplasia. Functional results and gain on IKDC, however, were poorer in case of dysplasia with trochlear spur. This is probably due to cartilage lesions, observed more frequently pre- and post-operatively in the spur group, especially as there was no significant difference in Lille Score, which highlights stability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, retrospective case-control study.

BACKGROUND: Revision total hip arthroplasty (reTHA) for peri-prosthetic fracture (PPF) is increasingly performed but still ranks fourth among reasons for reTHA in registries. In France, no specific registry is available and the frequency of PPF among reasons for THA revision is therefore unknown. Here, our objectives were to determine the relative frequency of PPF as a reason for reTHA, to identify patient-related and primary-THA-related factors associated with reTHA for PPF, to describe reTHA modalities for PPF, and to determine the morbidity and mortality associated with reTHA for PPF. HYPOTHESIS: PPF is the second most common reason for reTHA, after loosening. METHODS: Consecutive reTHA procedures performed in 30 French centres over a 2-year period were collected prospectively. Repeat revisions and revisions of hemi-arthroplasties were excluded. The epidemiological, clinical, and surgical data needed to answer the questions of the study were collected. RESULTS: PPF was the second leading reason for reTHA (249/2107, 11.8%). Vancouver type B2 fractures were the most common (n=127 [51.5%]). Compared to patients who underwent reTHA for reasons other than PPF, those with reTHA for PPF were older at primary THA (67.9 years versus 57.7 years) and more often had intra-operative complications (16.9% versus 11.6%); furthermore, the primary THA was more often cementless (62.7% versus 42.7%) with a dual-mobility cup (20.6% versus 11.1%). At reTHA, the patients with PPF were older (77.6 years versus 69.2 years), had worst medical condition (mean ASA score, 2.4 versus 2.1) and less physically active (mean Devane score, 2.1 versus 2.4). The patients with reTHA for PPF had a shorter time to revision (9.8 years versus 11.4 years), a longer operative time (144 minutes versus 128 minutes), and more frequent use of the posterior approach (77% versus 67%) with a cementless dual-mobility cup (78% versus 60%) and a cementless revision femoral stem (72% versus 50%). Morbidity and mortality rates were high (5.9% operative complication rate and 12% of surgical complications with 4.8% mortality within the first 3 months) however, these results were similar to those in the rest of the cohort. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: PPF is the second most common reason for reTHA, a result that is at variance with data in national registries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, prospective observational cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: Infection is a serious complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and is one of the most frequent causes of failure. The goal of this study was to evaluate the importance of infection among the different causes of revision THA and identify any risk factors specifically associated with this cause of revision. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients who underwent a first revision of THA were included in a prospective multicenter study. Postoperative clinical and radiological evaluation and follow-up of morbidity and mortality were performed at 3 months. RESULTS: Two hundred forty out of 2107 revisions (11.4%) were performed for infected THA, which was the third cause after aseptic loosening (42.3%) and peri-prosthetic fractures (11.8%). These patients had a higher BMI associated with co-morbidities and lower clinical scores than patients with other causes of revision. One-stage revision was performed in most cases (66%) with replacement of the complete implant in 86% of cases, resulting in longer surgery compared to that for other causes. Male gender (OR 2.3), avascular necrosis (OR 2.4), arthroplasties with dual mobility cups (OR 2.5) and a Rottinger anterolateral approach (OR 3.4) were all associated with an increased risk of infection. DISCUSSION: Some of these risk factors are not or have rarely been reported in the literature. They should be taken into consideration to help in the prevention and continuing battle against THA infection. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, prospective cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: Dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA) may require surgical revision, and is one of the most frequent causes for revision in national registers. The goals of this study were to determine the characteristics of revision THA for dislocation and identify the typical features of hips revised due to dislocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective multicenter study (30 centers) was performed in first revision THA performed between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011 (multiple revisions were excluded). RESULTS: Two hundred nineteen (10.4%) of all first revisions (2153 cases in 2107 patients) were for dislocation, which was the fifth cause of revision. There were 135 men and 84 women, mean age 65.9 years old (24.3-92.4) at primary THA and 72.9 years old (31.9-98.8) at revision. Revision surgery was performed a mean 7.1 years (± 7.1) after primary THA. The predictive risk factors for dislocation were: a 22.2mm diameter femoral head (risk × 2.4), a posterolateral approach (risk × 1.7), older age (risk × 1.1), an elevated rim liner for primary THA (risk × 6.6). The use of a dual mobility cup did not influence the rate of revision for dislocation (8.8%) compared to the use of a flat rim liner (9.1%). DISCUSSION: The 10.4% rate of revision of THA for dislocation seems markedly lower than the results in the literature both for frequency and ranking. The use of elevated rim or constrained liners designed to decrease the risk of dislocation does not improve results compared to standard liners. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, prospective prognostic study without a control group.
