RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Stem anteversion (SA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for postoperative outcomes, affecting dislocation risk and hip function. Accurate SA placement is challenged by intraoperative estimation methods, with discrepancies reported between predicted and true SA. This study investigates the effect of conventional methods and intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation on SA accuracy in THA performed with a direct anterior approach using a traction table. METHODS: This involves 200 patients undergoing primary THA from August 2019 to January 2023, divided into a conventional group (n = 100) and a fluoroscopic group (n = 100). Postoperative SA measurements were conducted using computed tomography scans. Statistical analysis focused on comparing the SA angles and the prevalence of excessive SA (≥>35° and ≥>40°) between the groups. RESULTS: The fluoroscopic group showed a lower average SA angle (24.3° ± 8.3°) compared to the conventional group (30.0° ± 11.3°), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.01). Excessive SA (≥>40°) was found in 17% of the conventional group, significantly reduced to 5% in the fluoroscopic group (p < 0.01). Similarly, SA exceeding 35° was present in 39% of the conventional group, compared to only 11% in the fluoroscopic group (p < 0.01), indicating a substantial reduction in excessive SA placements with fluoroscopic guidance. DISCUSSION: The study demonstrates that intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance significantly enhances the accuracy of SA placement in THA, reducing the variability and proportion of excessive SA. This suggests a critical reevaluation of conventional estimation methods in favor of fluoroscopic confirmation to improve surgical outcomes. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative fluoroscopic confirmation of knee external rotation angle markedly decreases the proportion of excessive SA and enhances the precision of stem placement in THA with a direct anterior approach. This technique represents a significant advancement in surgical practice, offering a simple and effective method to achieve optimal postoperative results.

RESUMEN

Objectives: The goals of this study were to elucidate the distribution of multifocal osteonecrosis associated with glucocorticoid therapy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to establish a MRI screening method.Methods: Between 1986 and 2018, 107 patients underwent MRI screening of their hips, knees, shoulders and ankle joints (856 joints in total) after systemic glucocorticoid therapy.Results: Osteonecrosis was observed in hip (68%), knee (44%), ankle (17%) and shoulder (15%) joints. Patients with bilateral osteonecrosis in their hips were likely to have bilateral osteonecrosis in their knees, whereas patients without osteonecrosis in both hips were unlikely to have osteonecrosis in both knees (p = .0299). Osteonecrosis was never evident in the ankle or shoulder joints when a patient did not have osteonecrosis in both hip and knee joints.Conclusion: In this study, MRI - as a screening method for multifocal osteonecrosis associated with glucocorticoid therapy - showed the sites affected first are hips and knees followed by ankles and shoulders. If osteonecrosis is absent in hip and knee joints, further screening of the ankles and shoulders is unnecessary. Any osteonecrosis observed in the hip and/or the knee joints warrants a second MRI screening of the ankles and shoulders.

RESUMEN

Objective: The aim was to compare the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the sciatic and femoral nerves in patients with unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip (OA) and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to investigate the mechanism of hip pain. Methods: Forty-four patients (22 OA and 22 ONFH) underwent DTI of the sciatic and femoral nerves at the level of the hip joint and the S1 roots to visualize the tractography and quantify the FA and ADC values. Results: The tractography of the femoral and the sciatic nerves on the affected side with OA and ONFH were similar to those on the normal side. The mean FA values of the sciatic and femoral nerves, and the S1 roots were 0.542, 0.551, and 0.316 with OA, 0.568, 0.560, and 0.318 with ONFH on the affected side, and 0.559, 0.560, and 0.315 on the normal side, respectively, and did not show significant differences. The FA values of the sciatic nerve on the affected side with OA decreased with longer pain duration. Conclusion: The FA and ADC values of the sciatic and femoral nerves in patients with unilateral OA and ONFH showed no significant differences between the affected and normal sides.

RESUMEN

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate transitional changes in the incidence of glucocorticoid-associated osteonecrosis in SLE patients, with a focus on immunosuppressive agent and glucocorticoid consumption. Methods: We retrospectively registered 185 SLE patients with 740 joints, who were newly diagnosed and hospitalized for initial high-dose glucocorticoid therapy from 1986 to 2015. Immunosuppressive agent, glucocorticoid dose, age, sex, organ lesion at hospitalization, complement (C3, C4, CH50) and anti-DNA antibody before initial glucocorticoid therapy, the frequency of use of anticoagulant and antilipidemic drugs, and incidence of osteonecrosis were documented. Results: Based on trends in immunosuppressive agent use, 116 patients treated from 1986 to 1999, before calcineurin inhibitors were introduced, comprised the past group, and 69 patients treated from 2000 to 2015 comprised the recent group. Patient characteristics (age, sex and organ lesion at hospitalization, complement, anti-DNA antibody, the frequency of use of anticoagulant and antilipidemic drugs) were similar between groups. Glucocorticoid doses were significantly lower in the recent group than in the past group (highest daily glucocorticoid dose, 45.7 vs 59.0 mg/day, respectively; dose per weight, 0.88 vs 1.16 mg/day/kg, respectively; and cumulative dose at 3 months, 3118 vs 3985 mg). The incidence of osteonecrosis was significantly lower in the recent group than in the past group (26.4 vs 41.0%, respectively), particularly in the knee (25.4 vs 46.6%, respectively). Conclusion: The incidence of glucocorticoid-associated osteonecrosis in SLE patients decreased in association with a decrease in glucocorticoid administration after introduction of immunosuppressant agents.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to clarify interobserver and intraobserver reliabilities of the three-dimensional (3D) templating of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: We selected preoperative computed tomography from 60 hips in 46 patients (14 men and 32 women) who underwent primary THA. To evaluate interobserver and intraobserver reliability, 6 orthopedic surgeons performed 3D templating twice over a 4-week interval. We investigated intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and percent agreement of component size and alignment, comparing morphological differences in the hip. Reproducibility was also compared between groups with osteoarthritis (OA) and those with osteonecrosis (ON). RESULTS: The interobserver reliabilities for mean cup size and stem size were excellent, with ICC = 0.907 and 0.944, respectively. The value was significantly higher in the ON group than in the OA group. In the OA group, the reliability of cup size and alignment decreased in hips with severe subluxation. Percent agreement of stem size was significantly different between the shapes of femoral canal. For intraobserver reliability, the mean ICC of cup size was 0.965 overall, while the value in the ON group was significantly higher than in the OA group. The mean ICC of stem size was 0.972 overall. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography-based 3D templating showed excellent reliability for component size and alignment in THA. Deformity of the affected joint influenced the reliability of preoperative planning.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Preoperative planning is an important factor for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study is to document the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of computed tomography (CT)-based 3-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning for primary TKA. METHODS: Twenty knees (10 with osteoarthritis and 10 with rheumatoid arthritis) were studied independently by 6 orthopedic surgeons using a CT-based 3D planning system. The measurements were made twice at more than 3-week intervals without any knowledge of their own previous measurements or those of the others. We assessed the femoral and tibial component sizes and the alignment of the femoral component. RESULTS: The interobserver and intraobserver agreements for femoral component size were 44.3% and 62.5% with exact size, and increased to 90.7% and 99.2% within one size difference; the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were 0.919 and 0.936, respectively. The interobserver and intraobserver agreements for tibial component size were 57.0% and 66.7% with exact size, and increased to 87.3% and 90.0% within one size difference; the ICCs were 0.909 and 0.924, respectively. The ICCs for femoral and tibial size were better in rheumatoid arthritis than in osteoarthritis. Interobserver ICC for femoral valgus angle was 0.807, and 0.893 for intraobserver reliability. Interobserver ICC of the femoral external rotation angle was 0.463, and 0.622 for intraobserver reliability. CONCLUSION: CT-based 3D preoperative planning for primary TKA has clinical implications for predicting appropriate size and alignment of the component in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Finite element analysis (FEA) of the proximal femur has been previously validated with large mesh size, but these were insufficient to simulate the model with small implants in recent studies. This study aimed to validate the proximal femoral computed tomography (CT)-based specimen-specific FEA model with smaller mesh size using fresh frozen cadavers. METHODS: Twenty proximal femora from 10 cadavers (mean age, 87.1 years) were examined. CT was performed on all specimens with a calibration phantom. Nonlinear FEA prediction with stance configuration was performed using Mechanical Finder (mesh,1.5 mm tetrahedral elements; shell thickness, 0.2 mm; Poisson's coefficient, 0.3), in comparison with mechanical testing. Force was applied at a fixed vertical displacement rate, and the magnitude of the applied load and displacement were continuously recorded. The fracture load and stiffness were calculated from force-displacement curve, and the correlation between mechanical testing and FEA prediction was examined. RESULTS: A pilot study with one femur revealed that the equations proposed by Keller for vertebra were the most reproducible for calculating Young's modulus and the yield stress of elements of the proximal femur. There was a good linear correlation between fracture loads of mechanical testing and FEA prediction (R2 = 0.6187) and between the stiffness of mechanical testing and FEA prediction (R2 = 0.5499). There was a good linear correlation between fracture load and stiffness (R2 = 0.6345) in mechanical testing and an excellent correlation between these (R2 = 0.9240) in FEA prediction. CONCLUSIONS: CT-based specimen-specific FEA model of the proximal femur with small element size was validated using fresh frozen cadavers. The equations proposed by Keller for vertebra were found to be the most reproducible for the proximal femur in elderly people.

RESUMEN

Anterior chest pain associated with sternoclavicular arthritis has been considered a symptom specific to SAPHO syndrome. Differentiating aseptic arthritis of the SAPHO syndrome from infectious sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) arthritis is often difficult. We reported a 55-year-old woman with left hip joint and right SCJ pain. Diagnosis and treatment were delayed because she was misdiagnosed with SAPHO syndrome, and haematogenous infection spread to the hip joint septic arthritis. She was diagnosed promptly after presenting to our hospital and underwent early debridement, and her hip joint and SCJ was found to have almost no dysfunction. Differentiation between sternoclavicular arthritis of the SAPHO syndrome and sternoclavicular septic arthritis is clinically important and requires careful attention.

RESUMEN

The present report describes an incomplete atypical femoral fracture (AFF) patient who underwent simultaneous autogenous bone transplantation to the resected fracture region during intramedullary nail fixation. A 73-year-old female with a history of multiple myeloma had been undergoing treatment with intravenous drip injections of Zoledronic Acid. She was introduced to our department due to the left lateral thigh pain, with no trauma incidence. An anteroposterior radiograph showed a transverse thin fracture line with localized periosteal and endosteal thickening, which is compatible with subtrochanteric incomplete AFF. A biochemical investigation revealed the existence of severely suppressed bone turnover. She underwent intramedullary nail fixation for fear of a complete fracture. After the fixation, the cortical bone at the fracture region was excised as a wedge-shaped block, and bone marrow extracted from the hollow reamer was simultaneously transplanted to the resected fracture region. Histological examination showed few bone formation features at the fracture line in the excised lateral cortical bone. At 7 months after surgery, radiographs demonstrated complete bone repair, and no clinical problems were observed two years postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which autogenous bone marrow transplantation, noninvasive to the iliac crest, was performed in an incomplete AFF patient. We believe that this low invasive procedure can be a useful technique for AFF treatment.

RESUMEN

Proximal femoral fractures are common in elderly osteoporosis patients; however, its prevalence is clinically rare in hip fracture patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to evaluate bone strength of the proximal femur with or without hip OA and proximal femoral fracture risk using computed tomography (CT)-based finite element analysis (FEA). A retrospective analysis was done on CT data of 20 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty for unilateral hip OA. Furthermore, the fracture load between OA and contralateral sides was compared and the association between fracture load and risk factor was analyzed. The fracture load was significantly higher in the OA side than that in the contralateral side (3819.5 ± 1557.8 N vs. 3224.5 ± 943.7 N, respectively; P = 0.0405). There was no significant difference in fracture load between OA and the contralateral side in Kellgren-Lawrence (KL)-3 and KL-4 grade, but the KL-4 fracture load tends to be high (P = 0.2461 and P = 0.0527, respectively). Moreover, there was no significant association between fracture load and OA severity or age. The study findings may assist in predicting bone strength and proximal femur fracture risk. The results of this FEA study indicate the bone strength of the proximal femur was affected by the severity of the osteoarthritis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to validate a diaphyseal femoral fracture model using a finite element analysis (FEA) with mechanical testing in fresh-frozen cadavers. METHODS: We used 18 intact femora (9 right and 9 left) from 9 fresh-frozen cadavers. Specimens were obtained from 5 males and 4 females with a mean age of 85.6 years. We compared a computed tomography (CT)-based FEA model to diaphyseal femoral fracture loads and stiffness obtained by three-point bending. Four material characteristic conversion equations (the Keyak, Carter, and Keller equations plus Keller's equation for the vertebra) with different shell thicknesses (0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mm) were compared with the mechanical testing. RESULTS: The average fracture load was 4582.8 N and the mean stiffness was 942.0 N/mm from actual mechanical testing. FEA prediction using Keller's equation for the vertebra with a 0.4-mm shell thickness showed the best correlations with the fracture load (R2 = 0.76) and stiffness (R2 = 0.54). Shell thicknesses of 0.3 and 0.5 mm in Keller's equation for the vertebra also showed a strong correlation with fracture load (R2 = 0.66 for both) and stiffness (R2 = 0.50 and 0.52, respectively). There were no significant correlations with the other equations. CONCLUSION: We validated femoral diaphyseal fracture loads and stiffness using an FEA in a cadaveric study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim was to clarify the normal fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the sciatic and femoral nerves at the level of the hip joint and to visualize the neural tracts with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). METHODS: Twenty-four healthy volunteers (12 men and 12 women, age 20-29 years) underwent DTI for visualization with tractography and quantification of FA and ADC values on a 3 Tesla MRI (b value = 800 s/mm2, motion probing gradient, 11 directions, time to repeat/echo time = 9000/72.6 ms, axial slice orientation, slice thickness = 3.0 mm with no inter-slice gap, field of view = 320 × 320 mm, 96 × 192 matrix, 75 slices, number of acquisitions = 4). Regions of interest in the sciatic nerve were defined at the femoral head, the S1 root, and the midpoint levels. The femoral nerve was evaluated at 3-4 cm proximal to the femoral head level. RESULTS: The tractography of the sciatic and femoral nerves were visualized in all participants. The mean FA values of the sciatic nerve were increased distally from the S1 root level, through the midpoint, and to the femoral head level (0.314, 0.446, 0.567, p = 0.001, respectively). The mean FA values of the femoral nerve were 0.565. The mean ADC values of the sciatic nerves were significantly lower in the S1 root level than in the midpoint and the femoral head level (1.481, 1.602, 1.591 × 10-3 × 10-3 mm2/s, p = 0.001, respectively). The ADC values of the femoral nerve were 1.439 × 10-3 mm2/s. FA and ADC values showed moderate to substantial inter- and intra-observer reliability without significant differences in gender or laterality. CONCLUSION: Visualization and quantification of the sciatic and femoral nerves simultaneously around the hip joint were achieved in healthy young volunteers with DTI. Clinical application of DTI is expected to contribute to hip pain research.
