RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA), the administration of dexamethasone may contribute to perioperative blood glucose (BG) disturbances, potentially resulting in complications, even in patients without diabetes. This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of different administration regimens of dexamethasone in postoperative BG levels. METHODS: In this randomized, controlled, double-blind trial, 136 patients without diabetes scheduled for TJA were randomly assigned to three groups: two perioperative saline injections (Group A, placebo); a single preoperative injection of 20 mg dexamethasone and a postoperative saline injection (Group B), and two perioperative injections of 10 mg dexamethasone (Group C). Primary outcomes were the postoperative fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. Secondary outcome parameters were the postoperative postprandial blood glucose (PBG) levels. Postoperative complications within 90 days were also recorded. Risk factors for FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl were investigated. RESULTS: Compared to Group A, there were transient increases in FBG and PBG on postoperative days (PODs) 0 and 1 in Groups B and C. Statistical differences in FBG and PBG among the three groups were nearly absent from POD 1 onward. Both dexamethasone regimens did not increase the risk for postoperative FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl or PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl. Elevated preoperative HbA1c levels may increase the risk of postoperative FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl or PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl, respectively. CONCLUSION: Perioperative intravenous high-dose dexamethasone to patients without diabetes has transient effects on increasing BG levels after TJA. However, no differences were found between the split-dose and single high-dose regimens. The elevated preoperative HbA1c, but not the dexamethasone regimens were the risk factor for FBG ≥ 140 mg/dl and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dl.

BACKGROUND: In patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty, the use of dexamethasone (DEX) may cause perioperative blood glucose (BG) disorders, leading to complications even in patients who do not have diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the effects of different DEX doses on perioperative BG levels. METHODS: A total of 135 patients who do not have diabetes were randomized into three groups: preoperative intravenous (IV) injection of normal saline (Group A, the placebo group), preoperative IV injection of 10 mg DEX (Group B), and preoperative IV injection of 20 mg DEX (Group C). Postoperative fasting BG (FBG) levels were designated as the primary outcome, while postoperative postprandial BG (PBG) levels were assigned as the secondary outcome. The incidence of complications was recorded. We also investigated the risk factors for FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL. RESULTS: The FBG levels were higher in Groups B and C than in Group A on postoperative days (PODs) 0 and 1. The PBG levels were lower for Groups A and B compared to Group C on POD 1. No differences in FBG or PBG were detected beyond POD 1. Elevated preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels increased the risk of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL, respectively. However, preoperative IV injection of DEX was not associated with FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL or PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL. No differences were found in postoperative complications among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: The preoperative IV administration of 10 or 20 mg DEX in patients who do not have diabetes showed transient effects on postoperative BG after total joint arthroplasty. The preoperative glycosylated hemoglobin A1c level threshold (regardless of the administration or dosage of DEX) that increased the risk for the occurrence of FBG ≥ 140 mg/dL and PBG ≥ 180 mg/dL was 5.75 and 5.85%, respectively.

Designing scaffolds that can regulate the innate immune response and promote vascularized bone regeneration holds promise for bone tissue engineering. Herein, electrospun scaffolds that combined physical and biological cues were fabricated by anchoring reparative M2 macrophage-derived exosomes onto topological pore structured nanofibrous scaffolds. The topological pore structure of the fiber and the immobilization of exosomes increased the nanoscale roughness and hydrophilicity of the fibrous scaffold. In vitro cell experiments showed that exosomes could be internalized by target cells to promote cell migration, tube formation, osteogenic differentiation, and anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. The activation of fibrosis, angiogenesis, and macrophage was elucidated during the exosome-functionalized fibrous scaffold-mediated foreign body response (FBR) in subcutaneous implantation in mice. The exosome-functionalized nanofibrous scaffolds also enhanced vascularized bone formation in a critical-sized rat cranial bone defect model. Importantly, histological analysis revealed that the biofunctional scaffolds regulated the coupling effect of angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and osteogenesis by stimulating type H vessel formation. This study elaborated on the complex processes within the cell microenvironment niche during fibrous scaffold-mediated FBR and vascularized bone regeneration to guide the design of implants or devices used in orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: How to design scaffold materials that can regulate the local immune niche and truly achieve functional vascularized bone regeneration still remain an open question. Here, combining physical and biological cues, we proposed new insight to cell-free and growth factor-free therapy, anchoring reparative M2 macrophage-derived exosomes onto topological pore structured nanofibrous scaffolds. The exosomes functionalized-scaffold system mitigated foreign body response, including excessive fibrosis, tumor-like vascularization, and macrophage activation. Importantly, the biofunctional scaffolds regulated the coupling effect of angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and osteogenesis by stimulating type H vessel formation.

BACKGROUND: Concerns have been raised regarding the impact of preoperative intravenous dexamethasone on postoperative glycemic control in diabetic patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This study aimed to determine relationships between preoperative different dexamethasone regimens and postoperative fasting blood glucose (FBG), as well as to identify risk factors for postoperative FBG ≥ 200 mg/dl in diabetic patients undergoing TJA. METHODS: This retrospective study included 1216 diabetic patients undergoing TJA and categorized into group A (dexamethasone = 0 mg), group B (dexamethasone = 5 mg), and group C (dexamethasone = 10 mg). All dexamethasone was administered before skin incision. FBG levels were monitored until postoperative day (POD) 3. Analyses were conducted for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and wound complications during 90 days postoperatively. And the risk factors for postoperative FBG ≥ 200 mg/dl were identified. RESULTS: Preoperative dexamethasone administration resulted in a transiently higher FBG on POD 0 and POD 1 (all P < 0.001). However, no differences were observed on POD 2 (P = 0.583) and POD 3 (P = 0.131) among three groups. While preoperative dexamethasone led to an increase in postoperative mean FBG and postoperative maximum FBG (all P < 0.001), no differences were found in wound complications (P = 0.548) and PJI (P = 1.000). Increased HbA1c and preoperative high FBG, but not preoperative dexamethasone, were identified as risk factors for postoperative FBG ≥ 200 mg/dl. Preoperative HbA1c level of ≥ 7.15% was associated with an elevated risk of postoperative FBG ≥ 200 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS: Although preoperative intravenous administration of 5 mg or 10 mg dexamethasone in diabetic patients showed transient effects on postoperative FBG after TJA, no differences were found in the rates of PJI and wound complications during 90 days postoperatively. Notably, patients with a preoperative HbA1c level of ≥ 7.15% and elevated preoperative FBG may encountered postoperative FBG ≥ 200 mg/dl.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between trace elements in synovial fluid and cartilage and severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: Patients with KOA who underwent knee arthrocentesis or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were recruited based on inclusion criteria between June 2021 and December 2021. Synovial fluid samples were obtained during knee arthrocentesis and TKA, and participants were divided into the mild group (grading â /â ¡) and the severe group (grading â ¢/â £) according to the Kellgren-Lawrence grading (K-L grading). Cartilage samples with different degrees of wear were collected during the TKA from the same patient and were divided into mild wear (0-1 point) and severe wear (2-4 points) groups based on the Pelletier score. The contents of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and manganese (Mn) in synovial fluid and cartilage were evaluated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the differences between groups were compared. Results: A total of 33 synovial fluid samples were collected, including 19 specimens from 14 patients who underwent knee arthrocentesis of mild group, with 5 bilateral sides knee arthrocentesis in them, and 14 specimens from 14 TKA patients of severe group. The patients were significantly younger in the mild group than in the severe group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in gender or body mass index between the two groups ( P>0.05). Nineteen pairs of cartilage samples with mild and severe wear were collected from severe KOA patients (K-L grading â ¢ and â £), including 9 males and 10 females, with an average age of 70.4 years (range, 58-80 years). The body mass index ranged from 21.2 to 30.7 kg/m 2, with an average of 25.6 kg/m 2. The content of Zn in synovial fluid and cartilage from KOA patients was the highest, followed by Cu, and Mn was the lowest. The Cu content in synovial fluid was significantly higher in the severe group than in the mild group ( P<0.05), and in the severe wear group than in the mild wear group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Zn and Mn content between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion: The Cu content increases with the severity of cartilage wear in patients with KOA.

Articular cartilage injury repair remains a challenge for clinicians and researchers. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have multiple differentiation potentials and can be induced to differentiate into the chondrogenic lineage for cartilage defect repair; however, the insufficient capacity of chondrogenic differentiation and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative stress, which always lead to differentiation into hypertrophic chondrocytes, still need to be resolved. Accordingly, kartogenin (KGN), which can promote chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs, has shown promise in promoting infected cartilage repair. However, realizing controllable release to prolong its action time and avoid hypertrophic differentiation is critical. We herein developed a mesoporous Prussian blue nanoparticle (mPB)-based near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive controlled nanosystem. KGN was encapsulated in temperature-stimulated responsive phase change materials (PCMs), which were used as excellent gating materials (KGN-PCM@mPBs). In addition, the mPBs could efficiently scavenge ROS by their enzyme-like antioxidative activities. Our study demonstrates that the nanocomposites could efficiently promote chondrogenic differentiation and successfully inhibit the hypertrophic differentiation of MSCs. By intra-articular injection of KGN-PCM@mPBs and NIR-triggered precisely controlled release, satisfactory cartilage repair effects can be achieved in a rat chondral defect model. Thus, this constructed NIR-mediated KGN-PCM@mPB nanoplatform may represent an effective cartilage repair strategy with satisfactory biosafety in clinical applications.

Background: Cutaneous sporotrichosis is prevalent worldwide and a common subcutaneous fungal disease in northeast China. The incidence of cutaneous sporotrichosis in southern China cannot be ignored. Previous studies have revealed differences between different regions in China regarding populations susceptible to infection, cause of infection, and pathological mechanisms of sporotrichosis. Therefore, This study aimed to analyze the differences in the epidemiological characteristics of cutaneous sporotrichosis in different regions of China to provide a reference for regional prevention, control, and treatment. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP for published reports on cutaneous sporotrichosis in China. The information about the characteristics of populations getting cutaneous sporotrichosis, causes of infection, disease types, and treatment regimens was extracted from studies to construct a knowledge database of cutaneous sporotrichosis in China. Taking the Qinling Mountains-Huaihe River line as the boundary to divide China into the northern and southern, the epidemiological characteristics of cutaneous sporotrichosis in two parts of China were analyzed. Results: In northern China, more women than men get cutaneous sporotrichosis (60.4% vs. 39.6%), while it is the other way around in southern China (men vs. women: 50.6% vs. 49.4%). In northern China, the incidence of this disease was more concentrated in spring (34.0%) and winter (35.7%), while in southern China, this disease frequently spread in spring (48.1%) and summer (26.9%). In the north, cutaneous sporotrichosis usually affected the face (50.1%) and limbs (45.3%), while in the south, it targets limbs (72.6%). In northern China, potassium iodide (30.5%) and combination therapy (37.8%) were preferred, while in southern China, potassium iodide (86.0%) was the main choice. Although there was a significant difference in treatment regimens (P<0.05), no significant difference emerged in cure rates between northern and southern China (98.5% vs. 98.4%, P>0.05). Conclusions: It is the first retrospective study on sporotrichosis in China. It describes the prevention of sporotrichosis in China since it was first reported and also reflects the differences in sporotrichosis between the northern and southern of China. This study provides a valuable reference for the prevention, control, and treatment of sporotrichosis in different regions of China.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is a popular analgesic technique commonly administered during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recent studies have demonstrated that the infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) can be complementary to analgesic modalities. However, the combined and relative efficacy of LIA and IPACK is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the analgesic and functional outcomes among LIA, IPACK, and LIA + IPACK. METHODS: A total of 120 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 groups: LIA (50 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine and 2.0 µg/mL epinephrine); IPACK (20 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine and 2.0 µg/mL epinephrine); and LIA + IPACK. The primary outcome was the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Secondary outcomes were opioid use, knee range of motion (ROM), quadriceps muscle strength, mobilization distance, timed up and go (TUG) test, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: The mean VAS pain scores were significantly higher after using IPACK alone than after using LIA + IPACK and LIA within 24 hours (all Pï¼.05). LIA + IPACK had lower mean VAS pain scores than LIA when the knees were at rest (within 12 hours, P < .05) and flexion (within 8 hours, Pï¼.05). Patients receiving LIA + IPACK and LIA had significantly lower morphine equivalents (ME) than those receiving IPACK alone within 24 hours (26.3, 28.9 versus 47.8, both Pï¼.05) and during hospitalization (98, 101.6, versus 128.4 both Pï¼.05). Both LIA + IPACK and LIA had higher ROM (within 2 days), higher level of muscle strength (within 12 hours), longer mobilization distances (within 1 day), and shorter TUG time (till discharge) compared with IPACK alone (all Pï¼.05), while LIA + IPACK only had a higher knee ROM than LIA on the first postoperative day (Pï¼.05). There was no significant difference in any other outcomes. CONCLUSION: This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that there were significantly lower pain scores, less opioid consumption, and better functional results with LIA + IPACK and LIA when compared with IPACK alone, suggesting that IPACK alone was inferior for pain control.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the analgesic effect among adductor canal block (ACB) combined with infiltration between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block, ACB, and IPACK block following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: One hundred twenty patients were randomly allocated into 3 groups including group A (ACB + IPACK block), group B (ACB), and group C (IPACK block). The primary outcome was postoperative pain score. The secondary outcome was opioid consumption. Other outcomes included functional evaluation and postoperative complications. RESULTS: Group A showed the lowest pain scores within 8 hours at rest and with knee maximum flexion (P < .001). From 12 to 24 hours, group C showed the highest pain scores, while no significant difference was found between group A and group B. No significant difference was found among the 3 groups 24 hours postoperatively. Group C showed the most opioid consumption within the first 24 hours and during the hospitalization, while no significant difference was found between group A and group B. No significant difference was found among the 3 groups including function evaluation and postoperative complications. CONCLUSION: ACB + IPACK block can improve early analgesia when compared with ACB. However, the small statistical benefit to the addition of IPACK block to ACB may be unlikely to be clinically significant. Further studies may focus on patient selection and how to prolong the effect of IPACK block.

BACKGROUND: Hip involved secondary to ankylosis spondylitis (AS) had a huge influence on hip function. Cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) can improve hip function. However, no previous study compared the outcomes of THA for AS patients with three different degrees of hip involvement. METHODS: The 195 hips were retrospectively analyzed and divided into non-ankylosed group (group A, 94 hips), fibrous ankylosed group (group B, 49 hips), and bony ankylosed group (group C, 52 hips). postoperative range of motion (ROM), harris hip scores (HHS), the short-form 12 health survey (SF-12), length of stay (LOS), cost, radiological assessments, and complications were compared. RESULTS: The follow-up time was (79.4 ± 29.5) months for group A, (80.6 ± 28.9) months for group B, and (79.1 ± 28.9) months for group C (P = 0.966). Group A had the best postoperative hip ROM (P < 0.001), while group A and B can realize better HHS than group C (P < 0.001). The three groups had similar SF-12 postoperatively. For group A, LOS and cost for unilateral procedure were the least than that for group B and C (P = 0.003 and P = 0.001). Similar radiological assessments were achieved for three groups. 1 hip in group A encountered delay union of wound. 1 hip in group C encountered delay union of wound and dislocation and another patient encountered femoral fracture intraoperatively. 12 hips (12.8%) in group A, 6 hips (12.2%) in group B, and 6 hips (11.5%) in group C encountered asymptomatic heterotopic ossification (P = 0.977). CONCLUSION: For AS patients with hip involvement, THA can improve hip ROM and function. THA for the non-ankylosed hip can realize the better hip function and postoperative ROM than ankylosed hip.

BACKGROUND: Bilateral osseous ankylosed hips secondary to ankylosis spondylitis (AS) are relatively rare but impact the quality of life hugely. Cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bilateral osseous ankylosed hips with AS is a challenging procedure. No previous literature compares the clinical outcomes of synchronous and sequential bilateral THA for these special patients. METHODS: 23 patients (46 hips) were retrospectively analyzed and divided into bilateral THA synchronously (group A) and sequentially (group B). The clinical measurement, radiological assessments, and complications were compared. Independent sample T test was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Harris Hip Scores (HHS) improved greatly for both groups (P = 0.58) as well as the range of motion (P = 0.64). But group B can realize shorter time (3.6 ± 1.2 days) to walk for the first time postoperatively (P = 0.02). Group A needed more blood transfusions (P = 0.028). For group A, no statistical difference was found in the bilateral inclination of cup (IC) (P = 0.48) and femoral offset (FO) (P = 0.07). For group B, no statistical difference was observed in bilateral IC (P = 0.37) but in bilateral FO (P = 0.04). Group A showed the fewer difference of bilateral IC (P = 0.02), while comparative measurements were found for two groups in the difference of bilateral FO (P = 0.78) and leg length discrepancy (P = 0.83). For both groups, the total hospital expense for each patient was similar and almost all patients were very satisfied with the outcomes. For group A, one patient encountered femoral fracture intraoperatively and another patient encountered hip dislocation and delay union of wound. 3 hips from group A and 3 hips from group B encountered heterotopic ossification. CONCLUSIONS: Our retrospective research demonstrated that cementless bilateral THA was a reliable treatment for osseous ankylosed hip due to AS. Synchronous and sequential bilateral THA can realize similarly satisfactory clinical outcomes and radiographic evaluation.

BACKGROUND: Many methods have been proposed to increase cup coverage by host bone during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in hip osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, there was no study comparing the results of controlled fracture of the medial wall with a structural autograft with a bulk femoral head. METHODS: Sixty-seven hips classified as Crowe II/III were retrospectively included in this cohort study, which consisted of 33 controlled fractures (group A) and 34 structural autografts (group B). The Harris Hip Scores (HHS) were recorded. The radiological assessments were analyzed. Also, complications are assessed. The paired-sample t test was used for data analysis before and after the operation, while the independent sample T test was used for the comparison between the two groups. The Pearson chi-square test or the Fisher exact test was used to analyze the qualitative comparative parameters. Kaplan-Meier was utilized in the analysis of survivorship with the end points as a revision for any component. RESULTS: All patients were reconstructed acetabulum at the anatomical location. HHS increased greatly for both groups (p = 0.18). No statistic difference was observed for the two groups in postoperative leg-length discrepancy (0.51 ± 0.29 cm for group A and 0.46 ± 0.39 cm for group B, p = 0.64 ), postoperative height of the hip center (2.25 ± 0.42 cm for group A and 2.09 ± 0.31 cm for group B, p = 0.13), and inclination of the cup (39 ± 4° for group A and 38 ± 3° for group B, p = 0.65 ). The rate of cup coverage for group B (94 ± 2%) was better than for group A (91 ± 5%), (p = .009). The rate of cup protrusio was 48 ± 4% for group A. For both groups, no statistical difference was observed in the cup diameter (p > .05), while group A showed less operation time than group B (p < .001). No complications were observed at the latest follow-up. CONCLUSION: Controlled fracture of the medial wall to increase cup coverage by host bone at the anatomical location can act as an alternative technique for DDH Crowe II/III with the advantage of shorter operation time and less technically demanding.

BACKGROUND: Stress shielding and bone loss of the femur are of great concern after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with extensively porous-coated stems, especially in a femur with already bone loss. The femoral bone remodeling patterns after revision THA with femoral bone defects using extensively porous-coated stems with cortical strut allografts remain unclear. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 47 patients who underwent revision THA using extensively porous-coated stems combined with cortical strut allografts and 75 patients without allografts. The minimum follow-up was 2 years. Femoral bone remodeling signs, including stress shielding, bone restoration in bone defect area, distal cortical hypertrophy, and femoral width, were compared between patients with and without cortical strut allografts. Clinical outcomes were also compared between two groups. RESULTS: Patients with cortical strut allografts showed less severe stress shielding (P = 0.01) than patients without allografts. Patients with allografts had more osseous restoration in bone defect area than patients without allografts (63.8% vs 30.7%, P < 0.001). Femoral width was significantly higher in femur with allografts than in femur without allografts at the immediate postoperative stage and latest follow-up (both P < 0.001). The hip function score, re-revision rate, and complications were comparable between two groups. CONCLUSION: The application of cortical strut allografts can decrease the severity of stress shielding, augment osseous restoration in bone defect area and improve femoral bone stock after revision THA using extensively porous-coated stems.

BACKGROUND: Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with severe femoral bone defects remains a major challenge. The purpose of this study is to report the minimum 8-year clinical and radiographic results of revision THA with severe femoral bone defects treated with extensively porous-coated stems and cortical strut allografts. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 44 patients diagnosed with Paprosky type III and IV femoral bone defects between January 2006 and July 2011. The exclusion criteria were patients not eligible for surgery, revised with extensively porous-coated stems alone, lost to follow-up and deceased. A total of 31 patients treated with extensively porous-coated stems and cortical strut allografts were finally included in this study. The degree of femoral bone defects was categorized as Paprosky type IIIA in 19 patients, type IIIB in 9 patients and type IV in 3 patients. The mean duration of follow-up was 11.0 ± 1.5 (range, 8.1-13.5) years. RESULTS: The mean Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 43.4 ± 10.5 points to 85.2 ± 6.6 points (P < 0.001). Similarly, WOMAC and SF-12 scores also significantly improved. Twenty-eight stems achieved stable bone ingrowth, two stems showed stable fibrous ingrowth, and one stem was radiologically unstable. Complete union and bridging between cortical strut allografts and host bone was achieved in all 31 patients. The femoral width was augmented with cortical strut allografts after revision surgery (an increase of 10.5 ± 0.5 mm) and showed a slight decrease of 2.5 ± 4.8 mm after the 10-year follow-up. Using re-revision for any reason as an endpoint, the Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival rate of the stem was 96.2% (95% confidence interval, 75.7-99.5%) at 10 years. CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrate that the use of extensively porous-coated stems combined with cortical strut allografts in revision THA with Paprosky type III and IV femoral bone defects can provide satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes with a minimum follow-up of 8 years.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is high and to further identify the risk factors for postoperative dislocation in these patients. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study reviewed Crowe type IV DDH patients undergoing THA between January 2009 and December 2017 in our institution. Each Crowe type IV DDH patient was matched with three Crowe type I, II, or III DDH patients according to gender, side and date of operation. The primary outcome of this study was postoperative dislocation after THA. Occurrence, rate, classification, treatment and outcome of dislocation were documented in detail for all patients. The dislocation rates were compared between Crowe type IV DDH patients and Crowe type I, II, or III DDH patients. Demographic data, implant factors, and surgical factors were compared between the dislocation and no dislocation groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for dislocation in Crowe type IV hips. RESULTS: A total of 131 Crowe type IV hips were followed up for a mean of 76.5 ± 28.1 months. Three hundred and ninety-three Crowe type I, II and III hips, including 261 type I hips, 94 type II hips, and 38 type III hips, were identified as controls and followed up for a mean of 76.4 ± 28.2 months. No significant difference was observed in follow-up time between two groups (P = 0.804). One or more dislocations occurred in 22 of the 524 dysplasia hips (4.20%). Of the 22 dislocated hips, 20 hips (90.9%) were successfully managed with non-operative treatment. Two patients (9.1%, one Crowe type I and one Crowe type IV) experienced recurrent dislocation and required revision surgery. Crowe type IV hips had a significantly higher postoperative dislocation rate than type I, II, and III hips (11.45% vs 1.78%, P < 0.001). The use of a 22-mm femoral head (odds ratio [OR] = 23.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.901-291.788, P = 0.014), older age (OR = 1.128, 95% CI = 1.037-1.275, P = 0.031), and absence of false acetabulum (OR = 12.425, 95% CI = 1.982-77.879, P = 0.007) were identified as independent risk factors for dislocation in Crowe type IV hips. CONCLUSIONS: Crowe type IV DDH patients were at a high risk of dislocation after THA, and using large femoral heads and improving abductor muscle strength may help decrease the rate of postoperative dislocation in such patients.

BACKGROUND: Overt hypothyroidism is widely accepted as a risk factor for adverse events following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, no prior study has preoperatively reversed hypothyroidism and reevaluated its risk. This retrospective study aimed at investigating whether well-controlled overt hypothyroidism would still increase the risk of TKA. METHODS: Between November 2009 and November 2016, patients diagnosed with overt hypothyroidism but well controlled and underwent TKA were compared with euthyroid TKA patients. Data were extracted from our departmental database. Chi-squared test and t-tests were used for comparisons. RESULTS: Hypothyroid patients had more blood loss and lower postoperative haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit level than the control group (all P < 0.05). Although the postoperative anaemia rate was lower in the control group (P = 0.01), there was no significant difference in the transfusion rate between the two groups (2.99% versus 7.46%, P = 0.10) or in the rates of other complications (P > 0.05). Interestingly, intramuscular venous thrombosis rate in hypothyroid patients was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.49% versus 9.70%, P = 0.00). Clinical outcome scores were comparable between the two groups throughout the course. And only one case of infection occurred in the hypothyroid patients. CONCLUSION: Well-controlled overt hypothyroidism did not increase the risk of TKA, except for perioperative blood loss. Surgeons should be aware that even if hypothyroidism is reversed, the risk of more perioperative blood loss still exists and that, consequently, perioperative blood management is still essential in this population.

Background and methods: A Cu-doped composite scaffold of nano calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (n-CDHA)/multi(amino acid) copolymer (MAC) was prepared. The structure, porosity, morphology and compressive strength of the scaffolds were characterized, the in vitro degradability in phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) and cell responses to the scaffolds were investigated, and in vivo stimulation of bone formation were analyzed. Results: The scaffolds showed the compressive strength of approximately 12 MPa and total porosity of about 81%. Weight loss of the composite scaffolds was 63% after 16-week immersion in PBS. Cu release in scaffolds showed a marked dependence on the initial amount in the scaffolds over time. Cu-doped n-CDHA/MAC scaffolds with the content of Cu 0.5% and 1% in mass ratio showed better cell responses to proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) than that with no Cu. After 12-week implantation in rabbits, 1% Cu-doped n-CDHA/MAC showed better ability of angiogenesis and osteogenesis compared to 0% Cu-doped n-CDHA/MAC. Conclusion: The 1% Cu-doped n-CDHA/MAC composite scaffold showed good capacity of angiogenesis and osteogenesis, and the Cu showed positive effects on cell growth and osteogenesis. And it has potential to be used as bone regeneration scaffolds.

PURPOSE: A modified technique referred to as a medial femoral epicondyle upsliding osteotomy was proposed to address severe valgus deformity with unconstrained posterior stabilized (PS) arthroplasty. The study compared the effectiveness of the technique and PS arthroplasty with constrained arthroplasty during primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS: Fifty-three patients presenting with valgus knees with a mean valgus angle (VA) greater than 30° were prospectively randomized and divided into two groups, and both groups received primary TKA. Upsliding osteotomy with PS arthroplasty was performed on the knees of 27 patients (group A), while the remaining 26 patients (group B) received a constrained arthroplasty. The Knee Society function score (KSF), Hospital for Special Surgery knee score (HSS), range of motion (ROM), mediolateral stability and hospitalization expenses were recorded. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), femorotibial angle (FTA) and VA were analysed. Complications were also recorded. RESULTS: The patients received follow-up care for more than 50 months. The postoperative KSF, HSS and ROM showed marked improvement in both groups (p < 0.05). Radiological assessments showed that HKA, FTA and VA for group A were restored to (179.9 ± 3.0)°, (173.0 ± 2.4)° and (7.0 ± 2.4)°, respectively. For group B, the HKA, FTA and VA were restored to (181.5 ± 2.3)°, (172.5 ± 2.3)° and (7.5 ± 2.3)°, respectively. Only two patients from group A demonstrated mild medial laxity in their knees, and the remaining patients from both groups were stable medially and laterally. However, the total hospitalization expenses and material expenses of group A were less than those of group B because of the more expensive constrained prosthesis and stems. No late-onset loosening or recurrent valgus deformity was displayed. CONCLUSIONS: Both medial femoral epicondyle upsliding osteotomy with PS arthroplasty and constrained arthroplasty showed good outcomes for the restoration of neutral limb alignment and soft tissue balance, which are demonstrated to be safe and effective techniques for correcting severely valgus knees. Therefore, the clinically important finding of this study is that medial femoral epicondyle upsliding osteotomy with PS arthroplasty can be an alternative method for correcting severe valgus knees. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

BACKGROUND: While many surgical techniques can achieve neutral limb alignment and soft tissue balance in severe valgus deformity during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), few published reports concern medial femoral epicondyle up-sliding osteotomy. METHODS: A prospective investigation was conducted of patients with severe valgus deformities who underwent medial femoral epicondyle up-sliding osteotomy. Clinical measurements, radiological evaluation, and complication data were recorded. RESULTS: Using posterior-stabilized prostheses, 26 patients underwent 28 TKAs performed by the same surgeon using medial femoral epicondyle up-sliding osteotomy to balance the soft tissue. On average, the follow-up was 54 ± 18 months, and the patient age was 63 ± 11 years. All knees were type II according to Krackow's classification. Varus-valgus knee motion was prohibited with the protection of long-leg knee brace for 3 months. At the last follow-up, the Knee Society function score, Hospital for Special Surgery knee-rating scale, and range of motion were 94 ± 6, 91 ± 4, and 116° ± 8°, respectively. All knees were stable laterally, whereas 2 knees had mild medial laxity and the others were stable. The hip-knee-ankle angle, femorotibial angle, condylar-hip angle, plateau-ankle angle, and valgus angle were 179.9° ± 3.4°, 172.9° ± 3.6°, 89.8° ± 2.5°, 90.2° ± 1.1°, and 7.3° ± 3.5°, respectively. CONCLUSION: Medial femoral epicondyle up-sliding osteotomy during TKA in patients with severe valgus deformities facilitates the restoration of lower limb alignment, soft tissue balance, and knee stability.

Objective: To explore the mid-term effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy in treatment of Crowe type â £ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods: Between September 2009 and March 2014, a total of 49 patients (57 hips) who were diagnosed with Crowe type â £ DDH were treated with THA and subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. Of the 49 patients, 7 were male and 42 were female with an average age of 44.6 years (range, 20-73 years). The preoperative Harris score was 44.68±3.39 and the preoperative leg length discrepancy was (5.27±0.55) cm. Results: All incisions healed primarily. All patients were followed up 32-87 months (mean, 52.1 months). At last follow-up, the Harris score was 85.67±2.89 and the leg length discrepancy was (1.12±0.48) cm, showing significant differences when compared with the preoperative values ( t=-69.53, P=0.00; t=42.94, P=0.00). X-ray films showed that bone union of the femoral osteotomy end at 6 months after operation. There was no loosening and subsidence of prosthesis at last follow-up. Conclusion: The subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy with THA in treatment of Crowe type â £ DDH can obtain satisfactory mid-term effectiveness with low risk of peripheral vascular and nerve traction injuries.
