RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The Pavlik harness is a commonly used treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) of types IIc or worse, based on the Graf classification. This study aimed to assess the long-term follow-up outcomes after treating DDH with the Pavlik harness. METHODS: Between 1995 and 2006, ultrasound screening was conducted on 7372 newborns within the first days of life. Among them, 203 dysplastic hips in 152 patients, whose sonograms were Graf type IIc or worse, were treated with Pavlik harness. Treatment was discontinued if the measurement indicated Graf type Ia/b. More than 20 years later (mean: 20.46 y), patients were invited for clinical evaluation (Oxford Hips Score, Schulthess Hip Score, Harris Hip Score) and radiologic examination (center-edge angle according to Wiberg and the Severis classification, the rate of roofing of the femoral head via the Reimers migration percentage, and the Sharp angle). RESULTS: Of the 152 patients, 60 (39.5%) participants with 80 (39.4%) affected hips (57.7% type IIc, 7.9% type D, and 15.6% type IIIa/b) were reexamined. The average follow-up duration was 20.5 years, with a maximum of 25.9 years. According to the Severin's classification, only 2 (3.77%) patients, each with one affected hip, showed slight residual dysplasia. The Reimer's migration percentage indicated an average of almost 90% canopy cover in the patient collective studied. No avascular necrosis was found, and the Sharp angle showed an average of almost 38 degrees. Only 4 participants with each one affected hip showed residual dysplasia according to the Sharp angle. The clinical results were quite satisfying, as none of the patients experienced hip pain that significantly limited their everyday activities or sports engagement, requiring medical attention before this study.Conclusions:Conservative therapy of DDH (Graf type IIc, D, III) with the Pavlik harness has demonstrated very good therapeutic success and a very low rate of residual dysplasia (2.81%). Both the radiologic and clinical outcomes were highly satisfactory. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the indication for cementless short stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been widened to elderly patients as they might profit by the advantages of the short-curved implant design as well. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of a cementless short stem in elderly patients (≥ 75 years) compared to a young control group (≤ 60 years). METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 316 THAs performed between 2014 and 2017 was prospectively examined. In all patients a cementless, curved short stem and press-fit cup (Fitmore® stem; Allofit®/-S cup; both ZimmerBiomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) were implanted via a minimally-invasive anterolateral approach. Clinical and radiological outcome as well as rate of complications and revision were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 292 patients have been included for analysis of complications and revisions (Øfollow-up: 4.5 years) and 208 patients for clinical and radiological outcome (Øfollow-up: 4.4 years). Complication rate was significantly increased in elderly patients (13.7% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.023), while the revision rate was increased without statistical significance (5.2% vs. 2.2%, p = 0.169). Periprosthetic fractures occurred significantly higher in the elderly patients (5.2% vs. 0.7%; p = 0.026). Both groups showed a comparable clinical outcome in the Harris Hip Score (93.7 vs. 91.9; p = 0.224), Oxford Hip Score (44.5 vs. 43.7; p = 0.350), Forgotten Joint Score (81.7 vs. 81.5; p = 0.952) and WOMAC (7.4 vs. 9.3; p = 0.334). CONCLUSION: Cementless short stem total hip arthroplasty shows a comparable clinical and radiological outcome in patients over 75 years of age compared to younger patients under 60 years of age. However, cementless shorts stem THA shows an increased rate of overall complications and periprosthetic fractures in elderly patients over 75 years of age. Cemented fixation of the femoral component should be considered in patients over 75 years of age. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III Case-controlled study. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Observational study without need for trial registration due to ICMJE criteria.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Foot drop is a disorder that impairs walking and leads to tripping and falling. Tendon transfer (e.g., tibialis posterior tendon) is a typical secondary procedure in foot drop treatment. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the most common tendon transfer techniques for treating foot drop and to analyze the reported functional outcomes. Furthermore, it was of interest if the type of surgical technique affects the functional outcome. METHODS: A PubMed and MEDLINE literature search was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. The search terms used were ("tendon transfer" OR "tendon transposition") AND ("foot drop" OR "peroneal neuropathies"). Any study published before January 2020 was considered for inclusion. No case reports or reviews were included. Common outcome measures (Stanmore score, AOFAS, FAAM, AFO use, patient satisfaction and active ankle dorsiflexion) were evaluated. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Coleman Methodology Score. RESULTS: Of the 125 reviewed publications, 37 met the inclusion criteria. 42 cohorts were analyzed. The frequently reported tendon transfer technique was the tibialis posterior tendon transfer through the interosseus membrane. The most used fixation technique was tendon on tendon fixation; however in recent years, a tendon to bone fixation has gained popularity. There was an increase in Stanmore scores and AOFAS postoperatively and a decrease of AFO use postoperatively observed. CONCLUSIONS: Due to various outcome measures and lack of preoperative assessment in the included studies, a meta-analysis of the pooled results was not possible. Nevertheless, the findings of this study show that tendon transfer increases mobility and self-independency leading to patient satisfaction. The choice of the surgical technique does not affect the outcome. A prospective collection of patient data and standardized outcome measures will be important to further analyze the efficacy of tendon transfer techniques.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pelvic and femoral osteotomies have been effective methods to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), neurogenic dislocation of the hip (NDH), and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term results after hip reconstruction in children with DDH, NDH, and LCPD. METHODS: In a retrospective study, X-rays of 73 children (2-19 years) with DDH, NDH, and LCPD were measured before, 3 months, and at final follow-up (FU) after hip reconstructive surgery (open reduction, and femoral and/or pelvic osteotomy ± soft-tissue procedures between 2008 and 2018). Measurement of hip geometry included acetabular index (AI), center-edge angle (CE), and Reimers migration index (RMI). Mean follow-up time at final FU was 4.9 years. P value was set P < 0.05. RESULTS: After surgery (femoral osteotomy: 84 hips, Salter innominate osteotomy: 21 hips, Pemberton osteotomy: 30 hips, open reduction: 28 hips, Chiari osteotomy: 4 hips, and soft-tissue release: 24 hips), hip geometry parameters improved significantly. Nevertheless, at final FU, there was deterioration in hip geometry with femoral head lateralization (RMI) compared to the data at 3 months after surgery (RMI: preop/3 months/final FU: 40.6 ± 16.1%/6.1 ± 9.0/15.4 ± 16.0%; CE: 11.3° ± 20.0°/30.2° ± 9.5°/27.9 ± 15.4°; AI: 28.8° ± 9.6°/19.1° ± 7.6°/18.3 ± 7.6°). Sub-group analysis did not show differences concerning the progression of RMI in DDH, NDH, and LCPD at final FU. Regardless of basic disease, the lateralization was observed in all three groups (DDH, NDH, and LCPD) and statistically significant comparing X-rays 3 months postoperatively to maximum follow-up (DDH; NDH; LCPD: 2.7 ± 6.8%/7.6 ± 10.1%; 13.7 ± 15.3%/22.8 ± 19.8%; 1.7 ± 4.1%/14.9 ± 11.3%). Additional soft-tissue release techniques in patients with DDH or NDH did not show postoperative differences with statistical significance. Concerning surgical techniques, a connection between the lower RMI and the procedure of osteotomy of the ilium was found. In 25 patients, (34%) complications were observed: superficial skin lesions in 8, deep skin lesions in 3, contraction of adductors in 3, subluxation in 2, dislocations of the cast in 2, osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 2 cases, reluxation in 1, infection of the implanted plate in 1, compliance problem in 1, delayed bone healing in 1, and contraction of knee flexors in 1 case. DISCUSSION: The basic results of this study show a significant improvement of hip geometry at a follow-up of 4.9 years and prove findings of previously published literature. Moreover, the study was able to show a progression of RMI in all patient groups, which have undergone reconstructive surgery, despite basic hip geometry data (AI, CE angle) did not change. Those findings were independent from underlying pathology. Complications were counted in 34% of the patients and involved all known adverse events after hip reconstructive surgery. This makes clear why annual follow-up checks are needed not to miss the right indication for revision surgery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Evidence level: Level IV, case series. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This manuscript is part of a prospective randomized clinical trial, registered in the German Clinical Trials Register DRKS-ID: DRKS00016861.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Digital templating shows reliable accuracy for straight stem systems. In recent years, the implantation of short stems through minimally invasive approaches has gained more popularity. Minimally invasive approaches (MIS) show the risk of undersizing femoral components. Therefore, we questioned the planning adherence for a curved short stem and a bi-hemispherical acetabular cup implanted through an anterolateral MIS approach. METHODS: A consecutive series of 964 hips (index surgery between 2014 and 2019) with Fitmore® curved short stem and Allofit/-S® acetabular cup (both ZimmerBiomet Inc, Warsaw, IN) were included. Preoperative digital templating was conducted anterior-posterior (AP) digital radiographs of the hip using mediCAD® version 5.1 (Hectec GmbH, Altdorf, Germany). The templates of acetabular and femoral components (offset option and stem size) were retrospectively evaluated for general adherence, and according to sex, BMI and planner's experience. RESULTS: Planning adherence for the exact offset option was 70.6 and 21.6% for exact offset option and stem size. Adherence for acetabular cup ± 1 size was 74.8%. A significant difference between male and female patients for the offset option could be found (p = 0.03, z = -2983). In 22.5% of male patients, an offset option one size higher and in 12.3% of female patients an offset option one size smaller than templated was used intraoperatively CONCLUSION: Digital templating for the Fitmore® stem in cementless THA with a minimally invasive anterolateral approach shows comparable planning adherence to the existing literature for this cementless short stem. However, a lower planning adherence was detected compared to conventional straight stem systems. In male patients, the femoral offset is frequently undersized and in female patients frequently oversized compared to the preoperative plan. Surgeons should be aware of this difficulty in digital templating for Fitmore® hip stem.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Minimally invasive surgery using short stems in total hip arthroplasty gained more popularity. The differences in change of hip offset and implant positioning in minimally invasive approaches are not fully known. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the difference in reconstruction of hip offset and implant positioning in direct anterior approach (DAA) and minimally invasive anterolateral approach (AL MIS). METHODS: A single surgeon series of 117 hips (117 patients; mean age 65.54 years ± 11.47; index surgery 2014-2018) were included and allocated into two groups: group A (DAA) with 70 hips and Group B (AL MIS) with 47 patients operated. In both groups the same type of cementless curved short hip stem and press fit cup was used. RESULTS: Both groups showed an equal statistically significant increase of femoral (p < 0.001) and decrease of acetabular offset (p < 0.001). Between both groups no statistically significant difference in offset reconstruction, leg length difference or implant positioning could be found. Leg length increased in both groups significantly and leg length discrepancy showed no difference (group A: - 0.06 mm; group B: 1.11 mm; p < 0.001). A comparable number of cups were positioned outside the target zone regarding cup anteversion. CONCLUSION: The usage of a curved short stem shows an equal reconstruction of femoro-acetabular offset, leg length and implant positioning in both MIS approaches. The results of this study show comparable results to the existing literature regarding change of offset and restoration of leg length. Malposition of the acetabular component regarding anteversion poses a risk.

RESUMO

Background and Objectives: Due to inferior survival rates compared to hip and knee arthroplasty, total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) was previously mainly recommended for older and less active patients. However, given the encouraging survival rates and clinical outcomes of modern generations of TAA, some authors have also advocated TAA in young patients. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate age related reoperation, revision and survival rates of third-generation mobile-bearing TAAs. Materials andMethods: In this retrospective study, 224 consecutive TAA patients with a minimum follow up (FU) of 2 years were analyzed. Patients were retrospectively assigned to two study groups (Group A: age < 50 years; Group B: age ≥ 50 years). Revision was defined as secondary surgery with prothesis component removal, while reoperation was defined as a non-revisional secondary surgery involving the ankle. Results: After a mean FU of 7.1 ± 3.2 years, the reoperation rate (Group A: 22.2%; Group B: 5.3%; p = 0.003) and revision rate (Group A: 36.1%; Group B: 13.8%; p = 0.003) were higher within Group A. An age of under 50 years at time of surgery was associated with higher reoperation (odds ratio (OR): 6.54 (95% CI: 1.96-21.8); p = 0.002) and revision rates (OR: 3.13 (95% CI: 1.22-8.04); p = 0.018). Overall, lower patient age was associated with higher reoperation (p = 0.009) and revision rates (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The ideal indication for TAA remains controversial, especially regarding patient age. The findings of this study show high reoperation and revision rates in patients aged under 50 years at time of surgery. Therefore, the outcomes of this study suggest that the indication for TAA in young patients should be considered very carefully and that the association between low patient age and high reoperation rate should be disclosed to all eligible patients.

RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate short-term (1y postoperatively; E1) and long-term (at least 4y postoperatively; E2) changes in hamstring muscle-tendon length (MTL) and lengthening velocity after hamstring lengthening in children with bilateral cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD: Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed in 19 children (16 males, 3 females; 36 limbs; mean age at surgery 9y [SD 3y]; range 6-10y) with flexed knee gait, preoperative ankle dorsiflexion lower than 20 degrees, and CP before bilateral hamstring lengthening (E0), at E1 and E2. Hamstring MTL (normalized by leg length) and velocity were assessed via OpenSim software. RESULTS: MTL increased from E0 to E1 (p=0.004) and decreased from E1 to E2 (p<0.020). Hamstring lengthening velocity did not change. In the subgroup with short, not slow hamstrings, the increase in MTL was maintained at E2. INTERPRETATION: Hamstring lengthening is an efficient procedure to lengthen short and/or slow hamstrings short-term. The desired outcome with maintenance of the postoperative changes in hamstring MTL is only achieved for preoperatively short, not slow hamstrings. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Surgical hamstring lengthening can be confirmed via musculoskeletal modelling in OpenSim software. Surgical hamstring lengthening in cerebral palsy does not change hamstring lengthening velocity. Short, not slow hamstrings present a long-lasting muscle-tendon length (MTL) increase after hamstring lengthening. Changes in MTL after hamstring lengthening cannot be maintained for slow hamstrings. MTL does not change after hamstring lengthening for neither short nor slow hamstrings.


CAMBIOS MUSCULARES A LARGO PLAZO DESPUÉS DEL ALARGAMIENTO DE LOS ISQUIOTIBIALES EN NIÑOS CON PARÁLISIS CEREBRAL BILATERAL: OBJETIVO: Evaluar los cambios a corto plazo (un año después de la operación; E1) y a largo plazo (al menos cuatro años después de la operación; E2) de la longitud del tendón muscular de los isquiotibiales (LT) y la velocidad de alargamiento después del estiramiento en niños con parálisis cerebral bilateral (PC). MÉTODO: Se realizó un análisis tridimensional de la marcha en 19 niños (16 varones, tres mujeres; 36 extremidades; edad media en la cirugía 9 años [DS 3 años]; rango 6-10 años) con la marcha en flexión de la rodilla, dorsiflexión preoperatoria del tobillo inferior a 20 grados, antes del alargamiento bilateral de los isquiotibiales (E0), en E1 y E2. El LT de los músculos isquiotibiales (normalizado por la longitud de la pierna) y la velocidad fueron evaluadas mediante el OpenSim. RESULTADOS: El LT aumentó de E0 a E1 (p = 0,004) y disminuyó de E1 a E2 (p<0,020). La velocidad de alargamiento de los isquiotibiales no cambió. En el subgrupo con isquiotibiales cortos, pero no lentos, el aumento de la LT se mantuvo en E2. INTERPRETACIÓN: El alargamiento de los isquiotibiales es un procedimiento eficiente para los isquiotibiales cortos y/o lentos a corto plazo. El resultado deseado con el mantenimiento de los cambios postoperatorios en la longitud de los isquiotibiales solo se logra para los isquiotibiales cortos no lentos antes de la operación.


ALTERAÇÕES MUSCULARES A LONGO PRAZO APÓS ALONGAMENTO DE ISQUIOTIBIAIS EM CRIANÇAS COM PARALISIA CEREBRAL BILATERAL: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a curto (um ano de pós-operatório; E1) e longo prazo (no mínimo quatro anos de pós-operatório; E2) alterações no comprimento do tendão do músculo (CTM) isquiotibial e a velocidade de estiramento após alongamento do isquiotibial em crianças com paralisia cerebral bilateral (PC). MÉTODO: Foi realizada a análise tridimensional da marcha em 19 crianças (16 meninos, três meninas; 36 membros; média de idade de cirurgia de 9 anos [DP 3 anos]; variação de 6-10 anos) com marcha com flexão de joelho, ângulo de dorsiflexão de tornozelo menor que 20o no pré-operatório, e PC antes do alongamento bilateral dos isquiotibiais (E0), em E1 e E2. CTM dos isquiotibiais (normalizado pelo comprimento da perna) e a velocidade foram avaliados pelo OpenSim. RESULTADOS: CTM aumentou de E0 para E1 (p=0,004) e diminuiu de E1 para E2 (p<0,020). A velocidade de estiramento do isquiotibial não mudou. No subgrupo com isquiotibial encurtado e não lento, o aumento no CTM foi mantido em E2. INTERPRETAÇÃO: O alongamento do músculo isquiotibial é um procedimento eficiente para alongar isquitotibiais encurtados e/ou lentos a curto prazo. O resultado desejado com a manutenção das alterações no pós-operatório no CTM do isquiotibial é atingida somente para isquiotibial curto e não lento no pré-operatório.

RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate the influence of supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) on hip abduction muscle force and frontal hip moments in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. METHOD: For this retrospective cohort study 79 children (36 females, 43 males; mean age at surgery 11y [SD 3y]; range 4-17y) with bilateral cerebral palsy and preoperatively and 1-year postoperatively documented frontal hip moments who received supracondylar FDO in 134 limbs were included. The control group consisted of eight children (two females, six males; mean age 11y [SD 4y]; range 5-17y) who received single-event multi-level surgery without FDO. RESULTS: Hip joint impulse (p<0.001) and the first peak of frontal hip moments (p=0.003) increased, whereas the second peak decreased (p<0.001) from preoperatively to postoperatively. Hip abductor strength improved (p=0.001) from preoperatively to postoperatively. INTERPRETATION: Despite the compensatory mechanism, frontal hip moments are decreased preoperatively. Supracondylar FDO results in increased frontal hip moments. Changes in anteversion directly influence hip kinetics, although no direct change of the proximal bony geometry is performed. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Internal rotation gait cannot fully restore the frontal hip moment. Supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) influences frontal hip kinetics in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Supracondylar FDO changes the curve progression of frontal hip moments. Supracondylar FDO restores the hip abductor moment arm. Supracondylar FDO leads to an increase in hip abductor muscle force.

RESUMO

AIM: Flexed knee gait can be treated with distal femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO) and additional patellar tendon advancement (PTA) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). This study assesses changes in hamstring muscle tendon length (MTL) and velocity after DFEO (+PTA). METHOD: Nineteen children (mean age 13y [standard deviation 3y] at surgery) with CP and flexed knee gait who were treated with DFEO (15 limbs) or DFEO+PTA (10 limbs) were retrospectively included in this study. Gait analyses were performed preoperatively (E0), 1 year postoperatively (E1), and for 10 limbs additionally 2 to 5 years postoperatively (E2). Hamstring MTL and velocities were assessed at all examination dates using OpenSim. RESULTS: Hamstring MTL and velocity did not change significantly over time. From E0 to E1, knee flexion in stance improved for both DFEO and DFEO+PTA (p<0.05), knee flexion in swing only improved after DFEO+PTA (p<0.05). The improved knee flexion in stance and swing was maintained at E2. INTERPRETATION: DFEO led to a significant improvement in knee kinematics at E1 which was maintained at E2. DFEO seems to prevent recurrent hamstring tightness but does not lead to lengthened or fastened hamstrings. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: Distal femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO) does not change hamstring muscle tendon length. DFEO does not change hamstring lengthening velocity. DFEO leads to a significant improvement in knee kinematics. Changes in knee kinematics after DFEO can be maintained at mid-term. DFEO seems to prevent recurrent hamstring tightness.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The number of revision hip arthroplasty procedures has been increasing substantially, with the acetabular component requiring component revision in over half of the cases. New porous implant designs attempt to improve outcomes due to improved osseointegration; however, sufficient primary stability is paramount for good osseointegration. METHODS: We compared 2 revision cups of the same geometry, yet different surface properties in an in vitro scenario: a porous titanium surface and a conventional sintered-bead titanium surface. These were tested in 10 cadaveric pelvises under a physiologic cyclic partial weight-bearing scenario. Each side was randomly implanted with one of the implants. Relative motion between the bone and cup was measured using an optical measuring device. Statistical evaluation was carried out descriptively using a covariance analysis with repeated measures and a test of fixed effects, with significance determined as P < .05. RESULTS: The conventional cup displayed an average relative motion of 28.02 µm; and the porous implant displayed an average relative motion of 33.42 µm. There was no statistically significant difference between the two with regard to the resultant relative motion (P = .2649). The bone mineral density does have a significant influence on resultant relative motion (P = .0406), with higher bone mineral density correlating with less relative motion in both implants. CONCLUSION: The porous implant provides similar primary stability to the conventional implant in the tested scenario; the motion of both implants relative to the bone was within safe limits for osseointegration. Bone stock must be considered when choosing implant type and postoperative care.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Revision total hip arthroplasty frequently faces challenges associated with deficient bone stock. Porous metal implants were developed to meet the challenge, but require rapid osseointegration for ultimate success. This study aims to assess relative motion as an indicator for primary stability and osseointegration of two different titanium cups each combined with a titanium augment. METHODS: In 14 cadaver hemipelvises, 2 types of titanium acetabular cups, a traditional sintered-bead cup (POROCOAT Acetabular Cup [PAC]) and a newer porous-coated cup (GRIPTION Acetabular Cup [GAC]) each associated with a porous augment, were subjected to 3-dimensional varying loads, replicating 30% of loads experienced during normal gait. Relative motion was measured at the cup/bone, augment/bone, and cup/augment interfaces. RESULTS: Only at the cup/bone interface was there a statistically significant difference in relative motion between the traditional PAC and the newer GAC, with PAC showing less relative motion (P = .0037). Bone mineral density (BMD) had a significant effect on relative motion (P = .0019) at the cup/bone interface of both cup types, with low BMD specimens showing more relative motion. CONCLUSION: Both cup types combined with augments displayed minimal relative motion that was within the accepted range thought to allow osseointegration, although the traditional surface proved superior to the newer surface. This difference was more pronounced at low BMD, with the well-established PAC cup displaying less relative motion than the more porous GAC cup, consistent with better osseointegration than the more porous cup. This suggests that the more porous implant may be less advantageous than traditional PAC cups, particularly in cases with poorer bone stock.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic hip dislocation is quite common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) in combination with hip reconstruction by using a periacetabular osteotomy as described by Dega concerning post-operative remodeling and plasticity of the femoral head post-operatively. METHODS: A total of 72 patients with CP as the primary disease and in whom a complex surgical hip reconstruction was performed during SEMLS between 1998 and 2004 were included in the study. There were 45 men and 27 women, with a median age of 7.6 (4.7-16.3) years at the time SEMLS was performed. The mean follow-up time was 7.7 years (4.9-11.8). X-rays were taken before and after surgery, and Rippstein 1 and 2 were used for follow-up. As the most reliable value for decentration, migration percentage (MP) as described by Reimers was used. To measure hip-joint cover at follow-up, the centre-edge angle was used. The hip was divided into four different categories according to sphericity and congruity. Using this approach, we could evaluate joint remodeling. RESULTS: Pre-operatively, the mean MP measured by X-ray was 68 %. Directly after surgery, this value decreased on average by 12 % and at the long-term follow-up was 16.0 % on average. A high rate of incongruence was observed on X-rays taken directly after surgery: 66 hip joints were classified as incongruent. The number of aspherical and incongruent joints decreased to 54 at the follow-up examination. CONCLUSION: Data of our study with high plasticity of the hip joint suggest that even if the femoral head is deformed and a persistent incongruency after surgery is expected, hip reconstruction can be recommended.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Conventional stemmed anatomical shoulder prostheses are widely used in the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The stemless shoulder prosthesis, in contrast, is a new concept, and fewer outcome studies are available. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the early functional outcome and postoperative proprioception of a stemless prosthesis in comparison with a standard stemmed anatomic shoulder prosthesis. METHODS: Twelve patients (mean age 68.3 years [SD ± 5.4]; 5 female, 7 male) with primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis of the shoulder were enrolled, who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) with a stemless total shoulder prosthesis, Total Evolution Shoulder System (TESS; Biomed, France). The control group consisted of twelve (age and gender matched) patients (mean age 67.8 years; [SD ± 7.1]; 9 female, 3 male), getting a TSA with a standard anatomic stemmed prosthesis, Aequalis Shoulder (Tournier, Lyon, France). Patients were examined the day before and six months after surgery. The pre- and postoperative Constant Score (CS) was evaluated and proprioception was measured in a 3D video motion analysis study using an active angle-reproduction (AAR) test. RESULTS: Comparing the postoperative CS, there was no significant difference between the groups treated with the TESS prosthesis (48.0 ± 13.8 points) and the Aequalis prosthesis (49.3 ± 8.6 points; p = 0.792). There was no significant difference in postoperative proprioception between the TESS group (7.2° [SD ± 2.8]) and the Aequalis group(8.7° [SD ± 2.7]; p = 0.196), either. Comparison of in the results of CS and AAR test pre- and postoperatively showed no significant differences between the groups. DISCUSSION: In patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis, treated with TSA, the functional and the proprioceptive outcome is comparable between a stemless and a standard stemmed anatomic shoulder prosthesis at early followup. CONCLUSION: Further follow-up is necessary regarding the long-term performance of this prosthesis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Current Controlled Trials DRKS 00007528 . Registered 17 November 2014.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Shoulder proprioception in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis and the effect of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) on proprioception have been evaluated previously. Measuring proprioception with an active angle reproduction (AAR) test, proprioception remained unchanged or deteriorated in a short follow-up period after shoulder replacement. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the influence of the preoperative Constant score (CS) on postoperative proprioceptive outcome after TSA in patients with primary osteoarthritis to address the question of whether the preoperative state of shoulder function influences postoperative proprioceptive outcome. METHODS: Twenty-four patients who received total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) (n = 24) for primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder were enrolled. After retrospectively analyzing the preoperative CS for 120 patients with primary osteoarthritis of the shoulder who received TSA, the patient group was divided into three subgroups according to preoperative functional assessment of the shoulder using the CS. Group one consisted of patients with CS < 20, group two patients with CS 20-30, and group three patients with the best preoperative CS (>30). In all patients proprioception was examined 1 day before the operation and 3 months after surgery by 3D motion analysis with an AAR test and also CS. RESULTS: Postoperatively, proprioception in group one (CS < 20) deteriorated significantly from 5.2° (SD 2.2) to 8.1° (SD 1.8); p = 0.018. In group two, there were no significant changes from preoperative to postoperative status [8.7° (SD 2.1) vs. 9.3° (SD 2.7) (p = 0.554)], likewise in group three [6.3° (SD 2.3) preoperatively vs. 6.9° (SD 3.3) postoperatively (p = 0.617)]. Comparing the postoperative results, the best proprioception [6.9° (SD 3.3)] was found in the group that had the best preoperative CS (group three, CS > 30). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, a low preoperative CS is a negative predictive factor for postoperative proprioception after TSA. We should keep that in mind when determining the best timepoint for shoulder replacement in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) can improve function in osteoarthritic shoulders, but the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) can still remain impaired. Routinely, shoulder surgeons measure range of motion (ROM) using a goniometer. Objective data are limited, however, concerning functional three-dimensional changes in ROM in ADLs after TSA in patients with degenerative glenohumeral osteoarthritis. METHODS: This study included ten consecutive patients, who received TSA for primary glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The patients were examined the day before, 6 months, and 3 years after shoulder replacement as well. We compared them with a control group (n = 10) without any shoulder pathology and measured shoulder movement by 3D motion analysis using a novel 3 D model. The measurement included static maximum values, the ability to perform and the ROM of the ADLs "combing the hair", "washing the opposite armpit", "tying an apron", and "taking a book from a shelf". RESULTS: Six months after surgery, almost all TSA patients were able to perform the four ADLs (3 out of 40 tasks could not be performed by the 10 patients); 3 years postoperatively all patients were able to carry out all ADLs (40 out of 40 tasks possible). In performing the ADLs, comparison of the pre- with the 6-month and 3-year postoperative status of the TSA group showed that the subjects did not fully use the available maximum flexion/extension ROM in performing the four ADLs. The ROM used for flexion/extension did not change significantly (preoperatively 135°-0° -34° vs. 3 years postoperatively 131° -0° -53°). For abduction/adduction, ROM improved significantly from 33°-0° -27° preoperatively to 76° -0° -35° postoperatively. Compared to the controls (118°) the TSA group used less ROM for abduction to perform the four ADLs 3 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION: TSA improves the ability to perform ADL and the individual ROM in ADLs in patients with degenerative glenohumeral osteoarthritis over the course of 3 years. However, TSA patients do not use their maximum available abduction ROM in performing ADLs. This is not related to limitations in active ROM, but rather may be caused by pathologic motion patterns, impaired proprioception or both.

RESUMO

The best method of revision acetabular arthroplasty remains unclear. Consequently, we reviewed the literature on the treatment of revision acetabular arthroplasty using revision rings (1541 cases; mean follow-up (FU) 5.7 years) and Trabecular Metal, or TM, implants (1959 cases; mean FU 3.7 years) to determine if a difference with regard to revision failure could be determined. Failure rates of the respective implants were compared statistically using a logistic regression model with adjustment for discrepancies in FU time. In our study, TM shows statistically significant decreased loosening rates relative to revision rings for all grades including severe acetabular defects and pelvic discontinuity. The severe defects appear to benefit the most from TM.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Neurogenic hip dislocation is frequently observed in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). If the hip is not centred but not dislocated, the hip joint can be recentered with minor operative effort. Reconstructive procedures are indicated if the femoral head is subluxated or dislocated. There are no data as to when destruction of the femoral head requires a salvage procedure or whether hip reconstruction surgery is successful in restoring joint congruity in patients with CP. Our aim was to investigate femoral head plasticity after hip reconstruction surgery in a long-term outcome study. METHODS: We studied a large cohort of patients with CP and high hip dislocation (Tönnis grade IV) before surgery. Sixty-eight patients were assessed, of whom 23 presented with bilateral high hip dislocation, and 91 complex hip reconstructions were conducted. Standardised radiographic examination was performed before and directly after surgery and at the long-term follow-up examination. RESULTS: Pain was the most frequent reason for complex hip-joint reconstruction (49 patients, 72%). An impressive improvement in pain was demonstrated postoperatively. Forty-five hip joints presented aspheric incongruity postoperatively, which improved on average 7.7 years after surgery and 59 hip joints showed congruency. Only 15% of patients experienced pain at the time of final follow-up, and that was of low intensity. CONCLUSIONS: Early conservative treatment for hip dislocation is helpful, and operative reconstruction should also be scheduled early. Continued surveillance is necessary, and Reimers index is useful for monitoring the development of hip centering. In case of hip pain and femoral head deformity, our long-term study indicates that hip reconstruction surgery as a part of multilevel surgery improves pain and function in patients with CP and Tönnis IV hip dislocation, even if the hip joint is incongruent after operation. This incongruity improves over the long-term. If possible, a reconstruction procedure should be performed before the femoral head becomes deformed. High plasticity of the hip joint suggest that even if the femoral head is deformed, hip reconstruction can be recommended.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) can improve function in cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) shoulders, but limited exact data are available about the maximum values in 3D motion analysis, and as to how improvements translate into the normal range of motion (ROM) in activities of daily living (ADLs). METHODS: This study included nine consecutive patients (n = 9) who received RSA for CTA without muscle transfers. We measured shoulder movement by a novel 3D motion analysis using the Heidelberg upper extremity model (HUX) which can eliminate compensatory movements of the scapula, and the trunk. The measurement included active maximum values, and four ADLs. RESULTS: Comparing the pre- to the 1-year postoperative status, RSA was associated with a significant increase in the mean maximum values for active flexion of about 43° (SD ± 31) from 66° to 109° (p = 0.001), for active abduction of about 37° (SD ± 26) from 57° to 94° (p = 0.001), and for the active adduction of about 28° (SD ± 10) from 5° to 33° (p = 0.002). Comparing the preoperative to the postoperative ROM in the ADLs in flexion/extension, ROM improved significantly in all ADLs, in abduction/adduction in three of four ADLs. No significant changes were observed in internal/external rotation in any ADLs. CONCLUSION: RSA improves the active maximum ROM for flexion, abduction, and adduction. The patients are able to take advantage of this ROM increase in ADLs in flexion and in most ADL in abduction, but only in trend in internal and external rotation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: With cerebral palsy (CP), an equinus deformity may lead to genu recurvatum. Botulinum toxin A (BtA) injection into the calf muscles is a well-accepted treatment for dynamic equinus deformity. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to determine whether BtA injections into the calf muscles to decrease equinus would decrease coexisting genu recurvatum in children with diplegic CP. METHODS: In a retrospective study, 13 children (mean age, 5 years) with spastic diplegic CP showing equinus and coexisting primary genu recurvatum, who were treated with BtA injections into the calf muscles, were included. Evaluations were done before and 6 and 18 weeks after intervention using three-dimensional gait analysis and clinical examinations according to a standardized protocol. Basic statistical analyses (power analysis, ANOVA) were performed to compare genu recurvatum before treatment and at 6 and 18 weeks after injection with BtA. RESULTS: During stance phase, maximum ankle dorsiflexion was increased substantially from -3.0° ± 14.3° before to 6.2° ± 14.2° 6 weeks after the injections. Despite this, with the numbers available, the amount of recurvatum in stance did not improve with treatment at either 6 or 18 weeks. There was significant improvement of knee hyperextension during stance phase of 6.2° between baseline and 18 weeks after BtA injection, but a genu recurvatum was still present in most patients. CONCLUSIONS: Despite improvement of ankle dorsiflexion after injection with BtA, genu recurvatum did not show relevant improvement at 6 or 18 weeks after injection with the numbers available. Because knee hyperextension remained in most patients, other factors leading to genu recurvatum should be taken into consideration. In addition, a botulinum toxin-induced weakness of the gastrocnemius may explain why recurvatum gait was not significantly reduced. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
