RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are one of the most common traumatic injuries in the elderly. The conjoined tendon-preserving posterior (CPP) approach was developed as a modification of the conventional posterolateral (PL) approach in hemiarthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) to reduce postoperative dislocation. We hypothesized that the CPP approach would result in fewer dislocations and similar functional and radiographic outcomes compared to the PL approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective multicenter (TRON group) study. We evaluated the rate of complications, and functional and radiographic outcomes for patients aged >65 years who underwent HA via the PL approach or the CPP approach from 2017 to 2019 and followed up for at least 24 months. To adjust for baseline differences between the groups, a propensity score-matching algorithm was used in a 1:1 ratio. RESULTS: We identified 135 patients who underwent HA via the PL approach and 135 patients via the CPP approach. The mean follow-up period was 32.4 ± 14.0 months. The incidence of dislocation was 6 in 135 patients (4.4%) in the PL group and 0 in 135 patients (0%) in the CPP group, and there was significant difference (p = 0.04). Operation time was equivalent between the two groups (73.1 ± 30.4 vs. 71.8 ± 30.0 min; p = 0.72). The rate of varus insertion of stems in the PL group lower than that in the CPP group (19.3% vs. 33.3%; p = 0.01). Postoperative Parker's mobility score was similar between the two groups at 12 months follow-up (6.17 vs. 6.27; p = 0.81). CONCLUSION: The CPP approach showed a significantly lower dislocation rate, similar functional outcome and more varus stem insertions compared with the PL approach in this retrospective study.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The risk of locomotive syndrome (LS) has been proposed as a criterion for evaluating physical ability. The expression levels of circulating miRNAs (c-miRNAs) are predictors of various diseases. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of several miRNAs and LS. METHODS: We enrolled 423 participants in whom we conducted a survey with the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25) and measured the serum levels of 21 c-miRNAs. The relationship between the GLFS-25 and each c-miRNA was evaluated with a linear regression analysis, and independent associations between the GLFS-25 and each c-miRNA were assessed with a multiple regression analysis using various independent variables. RESULTS: Only the serum level of miR-199 was significantly associated with LS after adjustment for age, BMI, sex, and all comorbidities. The receiver operating characteristics curve for the predictive value of the miR-199 level to indicate the presence or absence of LS risk had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.576 (95% confidence interval: 0.501-0.651). CONCLUSION: The expression level of miRNA-199 was associated with the risk of LS in community-dwelling Japanese people.

OBJECTIVES: Carotenoids are plant pigments found in many vegetables, functioning as antioxidants scavenging singlet molecular oxygen and peroxyl radicals. No longitudinal study exists on the relationship between carotenoids and knee osteoarthritis (KOA) development. We aimed to determine the incidence of KOA development for 10 years in community-dwelling people in Japan and assess its association with serum carotenoids. METHODS: Data of 440 participants (174 men, 266 women) with health-screening records for at least 10 years were analysed. We defined KOA development as advancing from K/L grade 0/1 at the initial check-up to grade ≥2 in a unilateral knee during a 10-year follow-up period. Serum carotenoid levels were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. We used the Cox hazard model for multivariate analysis and investigated each carotenoid's impact on KOA development. RESULTS: KOA developed in 33.4% of patients; the annual KOA development rate was significantly higher among women than among men (p < .01; 3.4% vs. 1.6%). Among the carotenoids measured, only retinol was associated with KOA development in women using multivariable analysis. KOA development was not associated with any carotenoids in men. CONCLUSION: The annual rate of KOA development was higher in women, and retinol was associated with KOA development in women.

BACKGROUND: It is unclear how the condition of one side of the hip joint affects the natural history of contralateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to investigate the natural progression of bilateral ONFH on the asymptomatic side between patients with collapse progression and cessation on the symptomatic side. METHODS: The study included 109 patients with bilateral ONFH at the first visit, who were divided into two groups in accordance with the symptomatic side based on the collapse progression of ≥3 mm (progressive group: 74 hips) and collapse cessation of <3 mm (stable group: 35 hips) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. The assessment parameters included age, gender, body mass index, etiology, type classification, and survival rates of the asymptomatic side with radiographic failure as the endpoints. RESULTS: Age, gender, body mass index, and etiology were not different between the two groups; however, a difference was observed in the type classification of the symptomatic side. The 4-year survival rates were significantly different between the progressive (34.3%) and stable groups (85.7%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age <40 years (vs ≥40 years; hazard ratio [HR], 2.439), type C2 (vs B + C1; HR, 2.865), and collapse progression on the symptomatic side (vs collapse cessation; HR, 7.751) were independent factors determining collapse on the asymptomatic side. CONCLUSION: Collapse progression on the symptomatic side is a poor prognostic factor for the natural history of contralateral ONFH.

BACKGROUND: Some reports suggested that the status of the opposite-side hip affects clinical outcomes of unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip osteoarthritis (HOA). This study aimed to determine whether unilateral THA could improve pain and movement of the non-operative hip. METHODS: The analysis included 195 patients divided into three groups according to contralateral hip status based on radiographic change assessed by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade: normal hip (Group N: n = 124), HOA with KL grade > 2 (Group O: n = 39), and THA patients who already underwent THA in their opposite hip joint (Group T: n = 32). All patients were interviewed and examined preoperatively and at 1-year intervals after surgery. Hip function was evaluated with Harris Hip Score (HHS) and range of motion (ROM) preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up. We used the Japanese Orthopedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for separately evaluated right and left hip joints. RESULTS: The mJHEQ movement, which indicated the activity, and flexion of ROM in the non-operative hip improved in group N and group T. The VAS and JHEQ pain values did not differ between preoperative and 1-year follow-up in all groups. In the operative side, HHS function, JHEQ movement values in group O were significantly lower than those of groups N and T at 1-year follow-up. CONCLUSION: Unilateral THA may improve non-operative hip movement and active daily life except when the non-operated hip shows osteoarthritis. It did not improve non-operative hip pain, regardless of the condition on the other side. Clinical outcomes of unilateral THA may be affected by opposite hip status each other.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) used for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and for osteoarthritis (OA) at a mean ten years follow-up. METHODS: Case-control study of 78 patients (86 hips) who underwent THA for ONFH treatment (ONFH group). Patients were matched for age and sex to 78 patients (86 hips) who underwent THA for OA (OA group). We compared the clinical and patient-reported outcomes, implant survival rates, and rates of complications between the groups. RESULTS: There were no between-group differences in the Harris Hip Score and in the following patient-reported outcomes at the last follow-up: Japanese Orthopedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) pain and movement scores and the Physical Component Summary and Role/Social Component Summary scores of Short Form-36 (SF-36). However, the mental score of the JHEQ, the Mental Component Summary score of SF-36, and The Visual Analog Scale score for satisfaction were lower for the ONFH group than for OA group. The rate of complication was equivalent between the groups: 5% for the ONFH group and 3% for the OA group. The ten year implant survival rate was equivalent between the groups, at 97.5% for the ONFH group and 98.2% for the OA group. CONCLUSION: The functional outcomes, implant survival, and rate of complications for cementless THAs are comparable at a mean follow-up of ten years for ONFH and OA.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to assess midterm results after acetabular impaction bone grafting (IBG) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with large acetabular segmental defect. METHODS: Primary THA with IBG for DDH with large acetabular segmental defect was performed in 40 hips of 38 patients. The average age was 61.6 years (range: 33-82 years), and the average follow-up period was 7.5 years (range: 3-10.3 years). The Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score and complications were assessed. For radiological assessment, postoperative location of the hip rotation center, the socket inclination angle, and the socket center-edge angle were assessed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed with the end points of any type of reoperation and aseptic acetabular loosening. RESULTS: The mean Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score improved from 10.4 points to 16.2 points at the final follow-up. Reoperation was performed in 1 case for acute infection without loosening. In 39 out of 40 hips (97.5%), the center of hip rotation was located beneath the "high hip center." The average socket inclination angle was 39.3° (range: 30°-54°), and the average socket center-edge angle was -11.8° (range: -23° to 9°). Survival rate of acetabular component at 8 years with the end point of any reoperation and of aseptic loosening was 96.6% (95% confidence interval: 89.9%-100%) and 100%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Acetabular IBG represents one of the useful options for restoring a normal hip center and acetabular bone stock in primary THA for DDH with large acetabular defect.

BACKGROUND: Although eccentric acetabular rotation osteotomy (ERAO) is an effective treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), there is little information about return to sports after ERAO. This study aimed to investigate 1) the patient factors that influence the return to sports after ERAO, 2) whether postoperative sports participation will affect future osteoarthritis progression. HYPOTHESIS: Some factors affect the return to sports after ERAO. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of 503 patients who underwent ERAO from 1990 to 2010, 124 who had been continuously participating in sports preoperatively (average 13.2 years after surgery) were included. Patient demographics of sex, age, body mass index, unilateral to bilateral case ratio, history of treatment for childhood DDH, preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade, center edge angle, joint congruency, Harris hip score, complications and the survival rate were compared between the S group (patients who participated in the same sports preoperatively) and N group (patients who could not participate in sports postoperatively). RESULTS: Seventy-two (58%) and 52 patients (42%) in the S and N groups, respectively, had an overall return to sports rate of 64% (79 patients). The most common sports that patients participated in were swimming (30 patients [24%]), jogging (12 [10%]), and golf (10 [8%]) preoperatively, and swimming (14 patients [11%]), golf (8 [6%]), and jogging (8 [6%]) postoperatively. There were no significant differences between both groups in terms of sex, age, body mass index, unilateral to bilateral case ratio, history of treatment for childhood DDH, preoperative KL grade, and joint congruency. There was a significant difference in patient factors between the S (11 joints [14%]) and N (20 joints [38%]) groups only when the preoperative center edge angle was <0°. There was no significant difference in the preoperative Harris hip score and the final survey between the S (73.2±4.6 and 93.4±7.2) and N (72.5±4.8 and 92.1±7.4) groups. Complications showed no significant differences between the five patients (7%) in the S group and six patients (13%) in the N group. The KL grade progressed in 10 cases (grade II to III in 2 cases and grade III to IV in 8) in the S group and 8 cases (grade II to III in 1 case and grade III to IV in 7 cases) in the N group. The 10-year and 20-year joint survival rates with THA conversion as the endpoint were 98.1% (95% CI: 87.4%-99.7%) and 83.7% (95% CI: 62.6%-93.4%) in the S group and 100% (95% CI: 70.7%-99.3%) and 95.2% (95% CI: 12.6%-92.6%) in the N group, respectively. In the evaluation of factors affecting sports return by logistic regression analysis, only one significant factor (odds ratio 3.42, 95% confidence interval: 1.58-7.42, p<0.01) was the preoperative center edge angle <0°. DISCUSSION: The chief factor affecting the return to sports after surgery was a preoperative center edge angle <0°; moreover, the continuation of sports did not affect the subsequent progression of osteoarthritis or THA conversion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: level III, cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) is commonly performed in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for high hip dislocation. However, this procedure is technically difficult and includes complications. Additional neck cut (ANC) of the femur is a procedure that involves femoral shortening by possibly eliminating the need for SSO in THA for high hip dislocation. Herein, we evaluated the effect and the depth limit of ANC of the femur on the range of motion (ROM) in THA for high hip dislocation. METHODS: ROM was measured in 26 patients with high hip dislocation using computer software. The stem was deeply positioned at 5-mm intervals from 0 mm to 30 mm (7 groups). The ROM before impingement was measured during flexion, internal rotation (IR) at 90° flexion, external rotation (ER) and abduction. Receiver operator coefficient (ROC) curves for abduction were generated. The cut-off value of ANC where the required ROM was achieved was also determined. RESULTS: Deeper ANCs increased the ROM values during flexion and IR, but they decreased the ROM values during ER and abduction. The ROM values during ER were also limited in 0-mm ANCs. According to the result of the ROC curve for abduction, 15 mm was considered as the permissible range of ANC. CONCLUSIONS: In THA for high hip dislocation additional neck cut should be taken into consideration for hips requiring less than 15-mm shortening. For more extended corrections a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy should be performed.

Total hip arthroplasty with cementing techniques leads to good clinical outcomes, but critical vascular complications can sometimes occur due to cement leakage into the pelvis. In this report, we describe a case of massive cement leakage that caused an arterial embolism. When exfoliating cement from an artery, the surgeon should note not only direct injury to the vessels but also the potential for arterial embolism.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is crucial condition that reduces the QOL of affected patients just like aged type osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of short-range UV-LED irradiation in postmenopausal osteoporosis using ovariectomized mice. Preliminary experiments identified the time of onset of osteoporosis after ovariectomy (8 weeks) in our model. We have set up a total of 4 groups (n = 8/group); vitamin D-repletion with UV irradiation (Vit.D+UV+), vitamin D-repletion without UV irradiation (Vit.D+UV-), vitamin D-deficiency with UV irradiation (Vit.D-UV+), vitamin D-deficiency without UV irradiation (Vit.D-UV-), and. From 8 weeks after ovariectomy, UV was irradiated for 24 weeks. At the time of 16 and 24 weeks' irradiation, serum Vit.D levels, various markers of bone metabolism, bone mineral density, and bone strength were evaluated, and histological analyses were performed. In addition, muscle strength was analyzed. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] levels at 40 and 48 weeks of age were increased in the Vit.D-UV+ group compared to the Vit.D-UV-group. Cortical thickness evaluated with micro-CT and strength of bone were significantly higher in Vit.D-UV+ group than those in Vit.D-UV- group. There was no difference in muscle strength between Vit.D-UV+ group and Vit.D-UV- group. No obvious adverse effects were observed in UV-irradiated mice including skin findings. Short-range UV irradiation may ameliorate postmenopausal osteoporosis associated with a state of vitamin D deficiency.

AIMS: This study investigated effects of narrow-range ultraviolet irradiation (UVR) by a new UV-LED device on vitamin D supply and changes of bone in senescence-accelerated mouse P6 (SAMP6) with vitamin D deficiency. MAIN METHODS: We used female SAMP6 mice as a senile osteoporotic model. We set a total of 3 groups (n = 4 per group); D-UVR+ group (vitamin D deficient-dietary and UVR), D- (vitamin D deficient-dietary), and D+ groups (vitamin D contained-dietary). Mice in the D-UVR + group were UV-irradiated (305nm) with 1 kJ/m2 twice a week for 12 weeks from 20 to 32 weeks of age. Serum 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, and micro-computed tomography (CT) were assessed over time. Mechanical test, and histological assay were performed for femurs removed at 32 weeks of age. KEY FINDINGS: UVR increased both serum 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D levels at 4 and 8 weeks-UVR in the D-UVR+ group compared with that in the D- group (P < 0.05, respectively). Relative levels of trabecular bone mineral density in micro-CT were higher in the D-UVR+ group than in the D- group at 8 weeks-UVR (P = 0.048). The ultimate load was significantly higher in the D-UVR+ group than in the D- group (P = 0.036). In histological assay, fewer osteoclasts and less immature bone (/mature bone) could be observed in the D-UVR+ group than in the D- group, significantly. SIGNIFICANCE: UVR may have possibility to improve bone metabolism associated with vitamin D deficiency in SAMP6 mice.
RESUMEN
Deficiency of vitamin D is an important cause of osteosarcopenia. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of low energy narrow-range UV-LED on osteosarcopenia in animal models of senescence-accelerated mouse prone 6 (SAMP6). Preliminary experiments specified the minimum irradiance intensity and dose efficacy for vitamin D production (316 nm, 0.16 mW/cm2, 1,000 J/m2). we set a total of 4 groups (n = 8 per group); vitamin D-repletion without UV irradiation (Vit.D+UV-), vitamin D-repletion with UV irradiation (Vit.D+UV +), vitamin D-deficiency without UV irradiation, (Vit.D-UV-), and vitamin D-deficiency with UV irradiation (Vit.D-UV +). Serum levels of 25(OH)D at 28 and 36 weeks of age were increased in Vit.D-UV+ group as compared with Vit.D-UV- group. Trabecular bone mineral density on micro-CT was higher in Vit.D-UV+ group than in Vit.D-UV- group at 36 weeks of age. In the histological assay, fewer osteoclasts were observed in Vit.D-UV+ group than in Vit.D-UV- group. Grip strength and muscle mass were higher in Vit.D-UV+ group than in Vit.D-UV- group at 36 weeks of age. Signs of severe damage induced by UV irradiation was not found in skin histology. Low energy narrow-range UV irradiation may improve osteosarcopenia associated with vitamin D deficiency in SAMP6.
