RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The management of perioperative iron deficiency is a component of the concept of patient blood management. The objective of this study was to update French data on the prevalence of iron deficiency in patients scheduled for major surgery. METHODS: The CARENFER PBM study was a prospective cross-sectional study in 46 centers specialized in orthopedic, cardiac, urologic/abdominal, or gynecological surgery. The primary end point was the prevalence of iron deficiency at the time of surgery (D-1/D0) defined as serum ferritin <100 µg/L and/or transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%. RESULTS: A total of 1494 patients (mean age, 65.7 years; women, 49.3%) were included from July 20, 2021 to January 3, 2022. The prevalence of iron deficiency in the 1494 patients at D-1/D0 was 47.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 44.5-49.5). At 30 days after surgery, the prevalence of iron deficiency was 45.0% (95% CI, 42.0-48.0) in the 1085 patients with available data. The percentage of patients with anemia and/or iron deficiency increased from 53.6% at D-1/D0 to 71.3% at D30 ( P < .0001), mainly due to the increase of patients with both anemia and iron deficiency (from 12.2% at D-1/D0 to 32.4% at D30; P < .0001). However, a treatment of anemia and/or iron deficiency was administered preoperatively to only 7.7% of patients and postoperatively to 21.7% (intravenous iron, 14.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Iron deficiency was present in half of patients scheduled for major surgery. However, few treatments to correct iron deficiency were implemented preoperatively or postoperatively. There is an urgent need for action to improve these outcomes, including better patient blood management.

INTRODUCTION: The high tibial osteotomy (HTO) survival rate is strongly correlated with surgical indications and predictive factors. This study aims to assess HTO survival in the long term, to determine the main predictive factors of this survival, to propose a predictive score for HTO based on those factors. METHODS: This multicentric study included 481 HTO between 2004 and 2015. The inclusion criteria were all primary HTO in patients 70 years old and younger, without previous anterior cruciate ligament injury, and without the limitation of body mass index (BMI). The assessed data were preoperative clinical and radiological parameters, the surgical technique, the complications, the HKA (hip knee ankle angle) correction postoperatively, and the surgical revision at the last follow-up. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 7.8 ± 2.9 years. The HTO survival was 93.1% at 5 years and 74.1% at 10 years. Age < 55, female sex, BMI < 25 kg/m2 and incomplete narrowing were preoperative factors that positively impacted HTO survival. A postoperative HKA angle greater than 180° was a positive factor for HTO survival. The SKOOP (Sfa Knee OsteOtomy Predictive) score, including age (threshold value of 55 years), BMI (threshold values of 25 and 35 kg/m2), and the presence or absence of complete joint line narrowing, have been described. If the scale was greater than 3, the survival probability was significantly lower (p < 0.001) than if the scale was less than 3. CONCLUSION: A predictive score including age, BMI, and the presence or absence of joint line narrowing can be a helpful in making decisions about HTO, particularly in borderline cases. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Limiting the risk of dislocation is one of the main aims of both dual mobility and Lefèvre retentive cups. However, these devices have never been compared. The goal of our study was to compare these devices in total hip arthroplasty revisions for instability. The judgement criterion was non-recurrence of dislocation in a follow-up period of eight years. METHODS: This retrospective case-control study compared two continuous paired series of total hip arthroplasty revisions for instability. These series included 63 patients and 159 patients with implantation of a Lefèvre retentive cup and a dual mobility cup, respectively. RESULTS: The success rate at eight years (i.e., no recurrence) was 91 ± 0.05% and 95 ± 0.02% in the Lefèvre retentive cup and dual mobility groups, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.6). CONCLUSION: It seems that the Lefèvre retentive cup provides comparable outcomes with the dual mobility cup in the total hip arthroplasty revisions for instability, avoiding recurrence in long term.

The main complications of open tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis are wound healing disorders and nonunion. Our hypothesis was that arthroscopy and interlocking intramedullary nailing decrease these complications. We retrospectively reviewed six patients (mean age: 58 years; mean preoperative Kitaoka score: 51/100) having undergone arthroscopic tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis with retrograde intramedullary nailing between January and November 2011 for equinus deformity of the hindfoot and subtalar instability of neurological origin. Postoperative pain disappeared completely in four cases, one patient presented some pain associated with projection of the proximal locking screw head under the skin and the remaining patient presented fibular tendinitis that resolved after infiltration of anti-inflammatory drugs. The mean postoperative Kitaoka score was 64/100. None of the patients presented any wound healing complications or nonunion. The observed incidence of wound complications and bone consolidation disorders after tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis was lower than the ones reported for open tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Level of clinical evidence IV: retrospective case series.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term clinical, functional, and radiological outcomes in 30 patients with at least 15 years of follow-up. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study that identified 73 patients. Thirty patients agreed to participate and were included. The mean follow-up was 18 years (range, 15-24 years). There were 14 cases of perilunate dislocation and 16 cases of perilunate fracture-dislocation (including 13 transscaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocations). At the last follow-up, the clinical and functional evaluation was based on the range of motion, grip strength, the Mayo wrist score, the Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand score, and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation score. Radiological abnormalities, according to the Herzberg classification, were 5 type A1 cases, 7 type B, 16 type B1, and 2 type C. RESULTS: The mean flexion-extension arc, radial-ulnar abduction arc, and pronation-supination arc were, respectively, 68%, 67%, and 80%, relative to the contralateral side. The mean grip strength was 70%, relative to the contralateral side. The mean Mayo wrist score was 70, and the mean Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation scores were, respectively, 20 and 21. Five patients had secondary procedure. Six patients had a complex regional pain syndrome type 1. CONCLUSIONS: Although arthritis occurred in 70% of cases, its clinical and functional impact appeared to be low. However, the 2 lowest Mayo wrist scores corresponded to the patients with the most advanced arthritis. Complex regional pain syndrome appeared to have an impact on long-term outcomes. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.

PURPOSE: A full range of motion after total knee arthroplasty has become more and more requested by our patients, leading to novel designs of knee implants, the so-called "hyperflex" knees. The aim of the present study was to confirm whether or not hyperflexion of operated knees really improves the patients' quality of life. METHODS: A retrospective comparative case-control study has been carried out to compare clinical results shown in two types of knee prosthesis, from two homogeneous paired groups of patients including 45 cases of a "hyperflex" model (RP-F), while the control group consisted of 43 cases of a "regular design" model (Triathlon) in terms of expected postoperative flexion. RESULTS: The hyperflex group demonstrated significant higher mean values of passive flexion at 119.9° in the RP-F group versus 111.1° in the Triathlon group. However, global results in the "regular" control group were significantly better than the "hyperflex" study group, in both IKS knee and functional scores at 84.4 points (RP-F) vs. 89.8 points (Triathlon), and 84.6 points (RP-F) vs. 89.5 points (Triathlon), respectively. Moreover, the self-administered KOOS questionnaire was significantly in favor of the control group, with 73.5 points in RP-F knees versus 86.0 points for Triathlon knees at global KOOS postoperative scores. CONCLUSION: The quality of life of operated patients after TKA obviously would be considered as the main priority, which was better obtained by a "regular design" in our study. Hence "high flexion" cannot be considered as an absolute target when choosing a model for total knee arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND: The gliding surface of total knee endoprostheses is exposed to high loads due to patient weight and activity. These implant components are typically manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Crosslinking of UHMWPE by ionizing radiation results in higher wear resistance but induces the formation of free radicals which impair mechanical properties after contact with oxygen. Medium-crosslinked UHMWPE enriched with vitamin E (MXE) provides a balance between the parameters for a sustainable gliding surface, i.e., mechanical strength, wear resistance, particle size, and oxidation stability. Therefore, a gliding surface for knee endoprostheses made up from this material was developed, certified, and launched. The aim of this study is to compare this new gliding surface to the established predecessor in a non-inferiority design. METHODS: This multicenter, binational randomized controlled trial will enroll patients with knee osteoarthritis eligible for knee arthroplasty with the index device. Patients will be treated with a knee endoprosthesis with either MXE or a standard gliding surface. Patients will be blinded regarding their treatment. After implantation of the devices, patients will be followed up for 10 years. Besides clinical and patient-related outcomes, radiological data will be collected. In case of revision, the gliding surface will be analyzed biomechanically and regarding the oxidative profile. DISCUSSION: The comparison between MXE and the standard gliding surface in this study will provide clinical data to confirm preceding biomechanical results in vivo. It is assumed that material-related differences will be identified, i.e., that the new material will be less sensitive to wear and creep. This may become obvious in biomechanical analyses of retrieved implants from revised patients and in radiologic analyses. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04618016.

INTRODUCTION: The short stems developed in recent years offer an interesting alternative to standard long stems. The Optimys™ short stem has been widely studied, but not according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) criteria. We therefore conducted a retrospective study of Optimys™ at a minimum 5years' follow-up, to assess: (1) survival on NICE criteria, (2) complications, (3) functional results, and (4) subsidence, restoration of offset and bone remodeling. HYPOTHESIS: Optimys™ shows survival comparable to that of other non-cemented standard and short stems, with a<0.5% per year revision rate or<2.5% at 5years on NICE criteria. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective study included 108 Optimys™ stems at a mean 76.5months' follow-up (range: 60-112months). Clinical [Harris, Oxford-12 and forgotten hip (French version: SHO-12) scores] and radiologic data were collected pre- and postoperatively. Analysis focused on implant survival, complications, functional results and radiological results (restoration of offset, bone remodeling, subsidence and osseointegration) and risk factors for stem migration. RESULTS: At a mean 76.5months' follow-up (range: 60-112months), Optimys™ survival was 97.7% (95% CI: 0.945-1). Oxford and Harris scores improved significantly: respectively, 16.1 vs. 44.7 [Δ=28.598; 95% CI: 27.410-29.785 (p<0.001)] and 45.3 vs. 95 [Δ=49.662; 95% CI: 47.442-51.882 (p<0.001)]. Mean forgotten hip score (SHO-12) at last follow-up was 82.7±19.6 (range: 35.4-100.0). There was 1 case of aseptic revision at 11months for femoral osseointegration defect. Mean subsidence was 1.64mm (range: 0-20.63mm); no predisposing factors could be identified. Femoral offset increased by a mean 2.41±4.53mm (range: -10.10 to 14.70mm). CONCLUSION: The present study reports good survival for the Optimys™ stem, which meets NICE criteria. Radiologic and clinical results were encouraging, with a low rate of subsidence, comparable to other series, but with increased femoral offset. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective cohort study.

The objective of this study is to determine the relationship of the variations of the lumbar lordosis angle (LLA) to the aortic bifurcation level and inferior vena cava (IVC) confluence level using CT angiography. A retrospective study was conducted using the data available on abdominopelvic CT angiography scans. The LLA, the level and angle of bifurcation of the aorta, the level and angle of confluence of the IVC were identified using multiplanar and 3D reconstruction. Linear regression models were fitted to the data. We interpreted 181 scans for 181 individuals having a mean age of 55 years (18-89). The most common site of aortic bifurcation was at L4-L5 disc space (34.8%) and that of vena confluence was at the upper of L5 (29.3%). The mean LLA was 34.65° (13°-77°). The mean aortic bifurcation angle was 47.43° (17°-100°) and the mean IVC confluence angle was 71.86° (30°-120°). The positions of the aortic bifurcation and venous confluence levels showed a proximal shift with an increasing LLA P < 0.001. This study showed that the level of bifurcation of the aorta and the level of confluence of the IVC may vary with the variations of the LLA.

INTRODUCTION: Revision of total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) for suspicion of metal hypersensitivity (MHS) may require hypoallergenic implants. Results for coated implants have not been reported. The aim of the present study was to assess short-term results and survival of rTKA for MHS using a multilayer implant coating. HYPOTHESIS: Multilayer implant coating improves functional results in rTKA, with survival comparable to primary coated implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective observational study included 28 patients (30 knees) undergoing rTKA for MHS using a coated implant between May 2011 and November 2016. Exclusion criteria comprised implant malpositioning and history of infection in the affected knee. Clinical and radiological results were assessed on the International Knee Society (IKS) and SF-36 functional scores and Ewald radiological score. Survival was calculated on Kaplan-Meier estimation. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 3.8 years. Mean IKS score increased by 40.2 points (40%) [range, 28.1-52.3] (p<0.05). Mean range of motion increased by 17° [range, 9.5-24.5°] (p<0.05). Mean physical and mental SF-36 components were respectively 44.7 and 46.1. Survivorship was 93%. DISCUSSION: There was significant functional improvement after rTKA for MHS. There were no short-term complications related to the zirconium nitrate coating. However, studies with longer follow-up will be needed for confirmation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective study.

INTRODUCTION: The use of short stems in primary hip arthroplasty has grown considerably in recent years, with a large variety of designs and stabilization methods available. Few studies have directly compared how these designs and fixation modes influence the bone mineral density (BMD) that is said to be better preserved with shorter implants. This led us to carry out a medium-term retrospective comparative study to (1) specify how the design of two different types of short stems influences the periprosthetic BMD, (2) compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of these stems. HYPOTHESIS: The periprosthetic BMD of a short stem varies based on the implant's design. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-three patients underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a short stem between July 2012 and July 2014. Two groups of patients were formed: Vitae™ short stem (Adler Ortho, Milan, France), Optimys™ short stem (Mathys, Bettlach, Switzerland). The Vitae group consisted of 46 patients, while the Optimys group consisted of 47 patients. The mean age was 66 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 26 kg/m2. The groups had comparable age, BMI, sex, Harris Hip score and preoperative radiological features. Periprosthetic BMD of the two types of implants was determined between the 1st and 4th year postoperative using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in the Gruen zones. The radiological and clinical outcomes were also determined. RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in BMD in zone 7(-5.8%±0.1 CI95%[-0.09; -0.02] (p=0.003)), zone 2 (-4.8% ±0.1 CI95%[-0.093; -0.003] (p=0.038)) and zone 6 (-11% ±0.2 CI95%[-0.19; -0.03] (p=0.009)) in the patients with Vitae stems and in zone 2 (-13.7%±0.3 CI95%[-0.25; -0.03] (p=0.018)) in the patients with Optimys stems. A significant difference in BMD in zone 7 at 1 year (p=0.014) and 4 years (p=0.001) postoperative and in zone 6 (p=0.011) at 4 years postoperative existed between groups, with the Optimys group having higher BMD. There was a significant increase in femoral offset in the Optimys group but not the Vitae group: Δoffset=-0.50 mm±5.2 CI95%[-2.05; 1.05] (p=0.522) and Δoffset=2.79 mm±4.2 CI95%[1.21; 4.37] (p=0.001). The Harris Hip score was not significantly different between the two groups at 4 years postoperative (95.3±2.5 [88; 99] vs. 95.2±2.6 [88; 99] (p=0.991)). DISCUSSION: The design of short stems appears to influence the distribution of loads and the periprosthetic BMD. These stems are associated with very good radiological and clinical results in the medium term. Bone remodeling appears to continue beyond 1 year after the THA procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III; Retrospective case-control study.

BACKGROUND: Distal locking stems were developed in response to some complex revision procedures in total hip arthroplasty (THA), providing better axial and rotational stability. The aim of the present study was to assess medium-term clinical and radiological results of treatment with last-generation distal locking stem. HYPOTHESIS: Our hypothesis was that this implant provided a high survival rate. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective observational study included all patients who underwent THA revision with distal locking stem between April 2013 and January 2015 in our university hospital. The implant was a curved distal-locking stem fully coated in grit-blasted titanium alloy and hydroxyapatite (HA) with a collar made of TiAlV. This concept is based on primary distal fixation by interlocking screws. The primary endpoint was surgical revision for implant exchange. RESULTS: A total of 47 procedures with distal locking stem were performed, 44 of which were included. Minimum follow-up was 5 years. Etiologies of revision comprised 25 femoral loosenings, 13 periprosthetic fractures, 3 infections, and 3 modular taper breakages. Six patients underwent re-revision (13%), with only 1 implant change (98% survival rate). Mean Harris and Oxford Hip scores at last follow-up were respectively 81±13.5 [range, 67.4-94.5] and 26±9â 2 [range, 16.7-35.2]. Radiologically, no stem subsidence occurred, and bone ingrowth was obtained in all cases. DISCUSSION: Fully-coated distal locking stems showed a high survival rate. They provided strong initial fixation, allowing early full weight-bearing in these frail patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective series.

INTRODUCTION: In total hip replacement (THR), a short stem theoretically provides more physiological force transfer to the proximal femur, conserves bone stock and facilitates minimally invasive surgery. On the other hand, such implants involve a learning curve and incur risk of malpositioning or fracture and of secondary mobilization. There are several types of short stem, and classification is needed. Classifications exist, but are based more on implant length than on anchorage zone, and most have not been tested for reproducibility. The French Hip & Knee Society (SFHG) developed a short-stem classification based on anchorage zone inside the femur. The objectives of the present study were: (1) to present the classification, (2) to apply it to the short-stem models available in France and those widely used worldwide, and (3) to assess reproducibility. HYPOTHESIS: The SFHG short-stem classification enables reproducible comparison. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A short-stem classification according to anchorage zone was drawn up by an expert group. The stems and the classification were presented to 12 surgeons performing THR, who classified the stems according to the classification; a retest was performed 2 months later. RESULTS: The classification is based on femoral stem anchorage site, in 5 types: type 1, cephalic; type 2, isolated cervical; type 3, Calcar femorale; type 4, metaphyseal; and type 5, conventional metaphyseal-diaphyseal, with shortened stems. Inter-observer reproducibility was 92.7% [95%CI: 91.7%-93.6%], with kappa 0.785 [95%CI: 0.755-0.814], and Lin test-rest concordance correlation coefficient 0.852 [95%CI: 0.836-0.869]. Intra-observer reproducibility was 94.0% [95%CI: 91.9%-96.1%], with kappa 0.820 [95%CI: 0.759-0.882], and Lin test-retest concordance correlation coefficient 0.820 [95%CI: 0.792-0.849]. DISCUSSION: This new classification enables femoral implants to be reproducibly compared according to anchorage zone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; retrospective study without control group.

Revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of a large proximal femoral deficiency or a peri-prosthetic fracture remains a challenging problem. We describe the development, surgical technique and the use of cementless revision stems with distal inter-locking screws to provide immediate stability of the femoral implant. Results were assessed in a large multicentre French study conducted with the french hip and knee surgery society (SFHG). We retrospectively reviewed 725 revisions using interlocking stems from 14 French orthopaedic departments. Seven different stems were used in this series. In-patient records were retrieved, and in addition to demographic data the indication for revision, the preoperative and postoperative PMA and Harris hip scores were documented. The bone deficiency was classified on the basis of the French National Orthopaedic Meeting (SOFCOT) classification. Intraoperative complications and problems if any were retrieved from operative notes. Clinical status and radiographs at the final follow-up were evaluated, paying special attention to the metaphyseal filling index. Average follow-up was 4.5 years. As for the clinical results, the mean Harris hip score at last follow-up was 81. Therefore, it increased by an average of 31 points. Bone reconstruction was assessed on the cortico-medullary index in the metaphyseal area and at mid-shaft increasing from 36 to 45 and 54 to 63, respectively. Radiologically, 637 implants were stable, and 40 demonstrated subsidence. Forty-eight implants have been revised. We found a significant relation between the metaphyseal filling index, the stability of the stem and the quality of bone reconstruction. Results were analysed with respect to three groups of stems: group 1 was a straight, partially HA-coated implant; group 2 was a curved, fully HA-coated implant; and group 3 was a curved, partially-coated implant. Group 1 showed a significantly higher rate of failure when compared with the others types of implants. Group 2 had better functional results than group 3, which in turn reported better results than group 1. With regard to implant fixation, group 2 had significantly better results. Both groups 2 and 3 induced less thigh pain than group 1. The distal interlocking stem has shown promising results for femoral revisions. The advantages are initial axial and rotational stability and consistent bony in-growth owing to hydroxyapatite coating. Distal locked stems are mainly indicated to treat complex femoral revision with severe bone loss and peri-prosthetic fractures.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to assess the performance of residents in orthopaedics before and after a 24-hour shift on a shoulder arthroscopy simulator. The primary study endpoint was an overall performance score (OPS) generated by the simulator. METHODS: A prospective, comparative study of 120 simulator trials by 10 resident junior surgeons was performed in our university hospital's simulation center between May and November 2018. To avoid memorization bias, all participants performed the same exercise 10 times on a VirtaMed ArthroS simulator prior to the study. Each resident's performance (the OPS, the operating time, the proportion of procedures with iatrogenic lesions, the camera path length and the hook path length) in two different simulated arthroscopy exercise tasks was assessed once before and once after a 24-hour shift. This sequence was performed three times during the semester, and the change over time in performance was also evaluated. RESULTS: The OPS was significantly lower after the night shift (P = 0.035 for the first exercise, and P = 0.025 for the second). CONCLUSION: In a group of previously trained resident junior surgeons, overall performance with an arthroscopy simulator was significantly worse after a 24-hour shift. The study of secondary parameters of the OPS and the subgroup analysis based on the sleep time and Epworth score vary depending on the type of exercise performed arthroscopically. However, the use of a simulator after a night shift did not prevent the trainee from improving his/her level of performance over time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II, a prospective, comparative study.
RESUMO
Femoral stem modularity in hip replacement was first developed to connect a ceramic head to the stem, then extended to metal heads using the Morse taper principle. Is it a good thing, or a necessary evil? It contributes to improving lower limb length and lateralization setting, at the cost of fairly rare complications such as dissociation and fretting corrosion, which can exceptionally lead to ARMD (Adverse Reaction to Metal Debris). Modular necks were later recommended, with a double Morse taper: cylindrical for the head junction, and more or less flattened for the stem. Is this one modularity too far? Dual modularity in theory perfectly reproduces the biomechanical parameters of the hip, but is unfortunately associated with fractures and severe corrosion, leading to ARMD and pseudotumor, especially in Cr-Co necks. Moreover, it provides no functional advantage, and no longer has a role outside dysplasia and other femoral deformities. Metaphyseal-diaphyseal modularity is not widespread in primary implants, and is it really necessary? Only one model has been widely studied: S-Rom™ (Depuy®). It features a metaphyseal sleeve adapting to the anatomy of the proximal femur, with a stem fitted via an inverse Morse taper. Its only interest is in case of congenital dislocation; like all metal connections, it incurs a risk of fracture and corrosion. On the other hand, modularity is widely employed in revision implants. Does it really help these procedures? The connection between a proximal femoral component of variable geometry and a diaphyseal stem with press-fit distal fixation provides a real solution to problems of length, lateralization and anteversion. Early models encountered high rates of fracture, but current implants and rigorous surgical technique have reduced this risk. Corrosion is a less serious problem, as the Morse taper undergoes only axial stress, without the friction undergone by other models subject to varus stress.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder surgeons performing tenodesis note a great variability in morphology of the proximal biceps. The hourglass biceps test measures the integrity of the intra-articular biceps tendon. The hourglass maneuver (HM) is positive when there is a passive flexion deficit compared to the contralateral shoulder in a relaxed patient in the supine position. HYPOTHESIS: Preoperative HM is correlated with an increased width of the biceps portion resected during tenodesis. METHODS: This prospective study evaluated all patients (N = 58) who underwent biceps tenodesis between January and September 2019. Two groups of patients were compared: group 1 (n = 20) had a positive HM and group 2 had a negative HM (n = 38). The smallest (s) and largest (L) width of the tendon were measured intraoperatively, and the L/s ratio was calculated. The HM was then evaluated as a diagnostic test by creating a contingency table and determining the sensitivity and specificity of the test for different L/s ratios. A receiver operating characteristic curve was created and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. RESULTS: A nonsignificant difference was found between the mean largest biceps width in group 1 compared to group 2 (11.65 mm [range: 5-21] vs. 9.71 mm [range: 6-20], respectively; P < .05). The AUC was 0.81; the sensitivity was 68.9% and specificity, 80.8%. CONCLUSION: Preoperative positivity of the HM is linked to the increased width of the biceps portion resected during tenodesis. The hourglass biceps test should be predictive of intraoperative hourglass biceps according to our definition.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Fast-track (FT) procedures continue to evolve; however, their benefits are still controversial. This led us to conduct a prospective study of FT procedures for total hip arthroplasty (THA) on a national scale in France with historical control data. The aims were to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of FT procedures after THA on the length of hospital stay (LOS) in a multicenter analysis, (2) measure the immediate return to home, rehospitalization and reoperation rates. HYPOTHESIS: FT procedures reduce the LOS after primary THA for non-traumatic indications relative to national historical data. METHODS: A prospective observational study was done at 11 hospital facilities throughout France. Patients who underwent primary THA for a non-traumatic condition and FT procedures were followed for 3 months. The average LOS, discharge to home, unexpected readmissions, and reoperation rate were compared to 2016 figures from the French national database of 104,745 procedures on the same population. RESULTS: The study included 1,110 patients, 499 men (45%) and 611 women (55%), with a mean age of 67.5±11.9 years. The average LOS was 3.3±2.9 days versus 7.5±5.3 days in the national database (p<0.001). Eight hundred eighty patients (79%) were discharged directly to home versus 72,577 (69%) in the national database (p<0.001). Forty-two patients (4%) were readmitted to the hospital within 90 days of the THA versus 11,092 (11%) in the national database (p<0.001). Eighteen patients (1.6%) were reoperated within 90 days of the THA procedure versus 2100 (2.0%) in the national database (p=0.72). DISCUSSION: FT procedures help to significantly reduce the average LOS and rehospitalization rate after primary THA for non-traumatic conditions and significantly increased the percentage of patients being discharged directly to home relative to national historical data, without altering the risk of reoperation. FT procedures should become the standard of care after THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III; prospective case-control study.
