RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Pelvic bone fractures may cause extensive bleeding; however, the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) usage in pelvic fracture surgery remains unclear. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TXA in open reduction and internal fixation surgery for pelvic and acetabular fracture. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for studies published before April 22, 2020, that investigated the effect of TXA in the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fracture with open reduction and internal fixation. A pooled analysis was used to identify the differences between a TXA usage group and a control group in terms of estimated blood loss (EBL), transfusion rates, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: We included 6 studies involving 764 patients, comprising 293 patients who received TXA (TXA group) and 471 patients who did not (control group). The pooled analysis showed no differences in EBL between the groups (mean difference -64.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] -185.27 to -55.93, P = .29). The study period transfusion rate showed no significant difference between the groups (odds ratio [OR] 0.77, 95% CI 0.19-3.14, P = .71, I2 = 82%), nor in venous thromboembolism incidence (OR 1.53, 95% CI 0.44-5.25, P = .50, I2 = 0%) or postoperative infection rates (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.13-9.98, P = .90, I2 = 48%). CONCLUSIONS: Despite several studies having recommended TXA administration in orthopedic surgery, our study did not find TXA usage to be more effective than not using TXA in pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery, especially in terms of EBL reduction, transfusion rates, and the risk of postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND: While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been widely studied for musculoskeletal disorders, few studies to date have reported its use for adhesive capsulitis (AC). Fully characterized and standardized allogenic PRP may provide clues to solve the underlying mechanism of PRP with respect to synovial inflammation and thus may clarify its clinical indications. PURPOSE: To clinically evaluate the safety and efficacy of a fully characterized pure PRP injection in patients with AC and to assess the effects of pure PRP on synoviocytes with or without inflammation in vitro. STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study and cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: For the clinical analysis, a total of 15 patients with AC received an ultrasonography-guided intra-articular PRP injection and were observed for 6 months. Pain, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, shoulder function, and overall satisfaction in the patients were evaluated using questionnaires at 1 week as well as at 1, 3, and 6 months after the PRP injection and results were compared with the results of a propensity score-matched control group that received a corticosteroid injection (40 mg triamcinolone acetonide). For the in vitro analysis, synoviocytes were cultured with or without interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and PRP. The gene expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines as well as matrix enzymes and their inhibitors was evaluated. RESULTS: At 6-month follow-up, pure PRP significantly decreased pain and improved ROM, muscle strength, and shoulder function to levels comparable with those after a corticosteroid injection. All pain values, strength measurements, and functional scores significantly improved up to 6 months in the PRP group, but these measures improved up to 3 months and then were decreased at 6 months in the corticosteroid group. ROM was significantly improved in the 2 groups at 6 months compared with baseline. Allogenic PRP did not cause adverse events. For the in vitro findings, PRP induced inflammation but significantly improved the IL 1ß-induced synovial inflammatory condition by decreasing proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1ß, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6, cyclooxygenase-2, and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 and decreased matrix enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase-1, -3, and -13 as well as a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 and -5) and further increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines such as vasoactive intestinal peptide. CONCLUSION: This study showed that PRP decreased pain and improved shoulder ROM and function to an extent comparable with that of a corticosteroid in patients with AC. Allogenic pure PRP acted in a pleiotropic manner and decreased proinflammatory cytokines only in the inflammatory condition. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Allogenic PRP could be a treatment option for the inflammatory stage of AC.

BACKGROUD: Outcomes of traditional treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) are not always satisfactory. Hence, cell-supplementation therapy has been attempted to facilitate necrotic-tissue regeneration. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC) transplantation is potentially advantageous over bone marrow-derived MSC implantation, but its outcomes for ONFH remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine 2-year radiological and clinical outcomes of culture-expanded autologous ADMSC implantation for ONFH. METHODS: Eighteen hips with necrotic lesions involving ≥ 30% of the femoral head were included. ADMSCs were harvested by liposuction and culture expanded for 3 passages over 3 weeks. With a 6-mm single drilling, ADMSCs were implanted into the necrotic zone. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) at screening and 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperatively. The primary outcome was the change in the size of necrotic area on MRI. Secondary outcomes were changes in clinical scores and radioisotope uptake on SPECT/CT. Conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) was defined as the endpoint. RESULTS: Preoperatively, the necrotic lesion extent was 63.0% (38.4%-96.7%) of the femoral head. The mean Harris hip score was 89.2, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) score was 5.6, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis index (WOMAC) was 79.4. Three patients underwent THA and 1 patient died in an accident. Finally, 11 patients (14 hips) were available for ≥ 2-year follow-up. At the last follow-up, no surgery-related complications occurred, and 14 of 17 hips (82%) were able to perform daily activities without THA requirement. There was no significant decrease in lesion size between any 2 intervals on MRI. However, widening of high signal intensity bands on T2-weighted images inside the necrotic lesion was observed in 9 of 14 hips (64%); 11 of 14 hips (79%) showed increased vascularity on SPECT/CT at 2 years postoperatively. No significant differences were observed between preoperative and 24-month mean Harris hip score (89.2 vs. 88.6), WOMAC (79.4 vs. 75.7), and UCLA score (5.6 vs. 6.2). CONCLUSIONS: Our outcomes suggest that culture-expanded ADMSC implantation is a viable option for ONFH treatment without adverse events.

INTRODUCTION: To maximise limb-length discrepancy (LLD) resolution during total hip arthroplasty (THA) for untreated developmental hip dysplasia or septic hip sequelae, THA following limb lengthening was introduced using different methods. We aimed to evaluate 2-stage THA results following limb lengthening via skeletal traction after extensive soft tissue release. METHOD: In total, 24 hips with severe LLD in 10 men and 14 women (mean age, 49.6 ± 15.2 years) underwent 2-stage THA and were followed thereafter (mean 6.3 ± 3.7 years). The entire abductor muscle origin was subperiosteally released from the ilium, and the soft tissue around the hip joint, including the psoas tendon, short external rotator, joint capsule, and adductor tendon, was extensively released. 2-stage THA was performed after 2-week skeletal traction using proximal tibial pins. During the final THA, 7 hips necessitated subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (STO) for hip joint reduction. We evaluated the clinical and radiological results and especially focused on LLD and neurological complications. RESULTS: The Harris Hip Score improved from 57.1 ± 9.6 to 88.3 ± 6.3 points. No patients showed worse abductor power. LLD improved from 5.0 ± 2.0 to 1.4 ± 1.0 cm. No permanent neurological complications occurred except for 1 transient peroneal nerve palsy during traction, which resolved fully after cessation of traction. There were 2 hips with STO nonunion treated with osteosynthesis and stem revision. CONCLUSION: 2-stage THA following skeletal traction after extensive soft tissue release showed favourable results in terms of neurologic complication prevention and LLD resolution. However, a large proportion of patients still necessitated shortening osteotomy with a risk for nonunion at the osteotomy site. Though surgical procedures might be complicated and necessitate longer hospital stays, 2-stage THA with extensive soft tissue release might be an alternative treatment option for patients with severe LLD willing to resolve their limb length discrepancy.

BACKGROUND: The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of rotator cuff disease is still controversial. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of a fully characterized allogeneic pure PRP injection into the subacromial space of patients with rotator cuff disease in comparison with corticosteroid injection. METHODS: A 2-group, parallel, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 60 patients with clinically and structurally diagnosed rotator cuff disease were randomly assigned to receive a subacromial injection of either 4 mL of allogeneic pure PRP or a 4-mL mixture of 1 mL of 40-mg/mL triamcinolone acetonide and 3 mL of 2% lidocaine under ultrasonographic guidance. The primary outcomes were safety and the Constant score at 1 month. The secondary outcomes were pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functional scores, and overall satisfaction and function. RESULTS: There were no treatment-related adverse events. The Constant score at 1 month did not significantly differ between the PRP and corticosteroid groups. At 6 months, the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) score, overall function, and external rotation were significantly better in the PRP group than in the corticosteroid group, and the other clinical outcomes did not show significant differences. All pain measurements, the strength of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus, and 5 functional scores also improved slowly and steadily after injection, becoming significantly better at 6 months compared with those before the injection, whereas those in the corticosteroid group responded promptly but did not further improve. CONCLUSIONS: Allogeneic PRP injections for the treatment of rotator cuff disease are safe but are not definitely superior to corticosteroid injections with respect to pain relief and functional improvement during 6 months. The DASH score, overall function, and external rotation were significantly better in the PRP group than in the steroid group at 6 months. Generally, PRP slowly but steadily reduced pain and improved function of the shoulder until 6 months, whereas corticosteroid did not. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level I.

BACKGROUND: Although a few trials have explored the relationship between postoperative delirium (POD) and incident dementia in patients with hip surgery, the numbers of participants in each study are relatively small. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to examine whether POD after hip surgery is a risk factor for incident dementia. METHODS: Six prospective cohort studies investigating the development of incident dementia in patients with POD after hip surgery were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. We performed a pairwise meta-analysis using fixed- and random- effect models. RESULTS: POD significantly increased the risk of incident dementia and cognitive decline (overall odds ratio [ORs]â¯=â¯8.957; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 5.444-14.737; Pâ¯<⯠0.001 in fixed-effects model; overall ORs = 8.962; 95 % CI, 5.344-15.029; Pâ¯<⯠0.001 in random-effects model). A publication bias was not evident in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis revealed that POD after hip surgery is a risk factor for incident dementia. Early identification of cognitive function should be needed after surgery and appropriate prevention and treatment for dementia will be required, especially in cases with POD.

PURPOSE: To assess the mid-term safety and efficacy of an intratendinous injection of autologous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD MSCs) for rotator cuff disease at 2-year follow-up. METHODS: The first part of the study consisted of 3 dose-escalation groups, with 3 patients each, for the evaluation of safety: low-dose (1.0 × 107 cells), mid-dose (5.0 × 107), and high-dose (1.0 × 108) groups. For the second part, we planned to include 9 patients receiving the high dose for the evaluation of exploratory efficacy. Clinical outcomes were assessed according to pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functional scores, overall satisfaction and function, and presence of failure. Structural outcomes included changes in volume of tendon defects measured using magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: This study enrolled 19 patients (9 for the first part and 10 for the second part) with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears. There were no treatment-related adverse events at minimum 2-year follow-up. Intratendinous injection of AD MSCs reduced shoulder pain by approximately 90% at 1 and 2 years in the mid- and high-dose groups. The strength of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor significantly increased by greater than 50% at 2 years in the high-dose group. Shoulder function measured with 6 commonly used scores improved for up to 2 years in all dose groups. Structural outcomes evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging showed that the volume of bursal-sided defects in the high-dose group nearly disappeared at 1 year and did not recur at up to 2 years. No failures-defined as the performance of any kind of shoulder surgery or return of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score to the preinjection level-occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed continued safety and efficacy of an intratendinous injection of AD MSCs for the treatment of partial-thickness rotator cuff tears over a 2-year period through regeneration of tendon defects. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Background: Unlike bone, cartilage, or muscle, tendon-specific markers are not well established. The purpose of the study was to investigate expression pattern and level of 6 well-known tendon-specific markers, in various human musculoskeletal tissues, tenocytes, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods: Musculoskeletal tissue samples of tendon, bone, cartilage, nerve, muscle, and fat were obtained from patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Tenocytes, MSCs from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord were isolated from each tissue and cultured. Six tendon-specific markers, scleraxis (Scx), tenomodulin (TNMD), thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4), tenascin-C (TNC), type I collagen (Col I), and type III collagen (Col III) were investigated in tendon tissue, tenocytes, and MSCs. Results: mRNA levels of 6 tendon-specific markers were significantly higher in tendon tissue that in other connective tissues levels of Scx, TNMD, TSP-4, and Col III immediately decreased after plating tenocytes in culture dishes whereas those of TNC and Col I did not. In comparison with tendon tissue, mRNA levels pattern of Scx, TNMD, and TSP-4 in tenocytes were significantly higher than that in MSCs, but lower than in tendon tissue whereas expression pattern of TNC, Col I and III showed different pattern with each other. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that 6 commonly used tendon-specific markers were mainly expressed in tendon tissue, but that expression level and pattern of the tendon-specific markers with respect to kinds of tissues, culture duration of tenocytes and sources of MSCs.

Despite relatively good results of current symptomatic treatments for rotator cuff disease, there has been an unmet need for fundamental treatments to halt or reverse the progress of disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of intratendinous injection of autologous adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD MSCs) in patients with rotator cuff disease. The first part of the study consists of three dose-escalation cohorts; the low- (1.0 × 107 cells), mid- (5.0 × 107 ), and high-dose (1.0 × 108 ) groups with three patients each for the evaluation of the safety and tolerability. The second part included nine patients receiving the high-dose for the evaluation of the exploratory efficacy. The primary outcomes were the safety and the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). Secondary outcomes included clinical, radiological, and arthroscopic evaluations. Twenty patients were enrolled in the study, and two patients were excluded. Intratendinous injection of AD MSCs was not associated with adverse events. It significantly decreased the SPADI scores by 80% and 77% in the mid- and high-dose groups, respectively. Shoulder pain was significantly alleviated by 71% in the high-dose group. Magnetic resonance imaging examination showed that volume of the bursal-side defect significantly decreased by 90% in the high-dose group. Arthroscopic examination demonstrated that volume of the articular- and bursal-side defects decreased by 83% and 90% in the mid- and high-dose groups, respectively. Intratendinous injection of autologous AD MSCs in patient with a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear did not cause adverse events, but improved shoulder function, and relieved pain through regeneration of rotator cuff tendon.

PURPOSE: To describe the outcomes of 7 cases of psoas abscess concurrent with septic arthritis of the hip treated by hip arthroscopy alone. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the data of patients who underwent arthroscopic drainage of psoas abscess concurrent with septic arthritis of the hip. Arthroscopic debridement was performed in both the central and peripheral hip joint compartments. In all cases, the iliopsoas compartment was accessed from the peripheral compartment through an anterior capsulotomy without limb traction. After debridement and drainage of the iliopsoas compartment, a suction drain tube was placed in the iliopsoas compartment through an enlarged anterior capsulotomy and another tube in the peripheral compartment. Postoperative intravenous antibiotics were administered on the basis of culture results; in cases with no positive culture, empirical antibiotics were administered for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: 7 patients underwent arthroscopic debridement and drainage for a psoas abscess concurrent with hip joint septic arthritis. Laboratory tests were normalized within 4 weeks after hip arthroscopy in all patients. At a median follow-up of 16 months (range, 13-30 months) after surgery, infection recurrence was absent in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Arthroscopic debridement alone could be an effective treatment alternative to open surgery for psoas abscess concurrent with hip joint septic arthritis.

BACKGROUND: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can be managed either conservatively or by a surgical correction of the deformity causing impingement. However, there is insufficient evidence to justify an immediate surgical treatment in all symptomatic patients, and the role of a nonoperative treatment is unclear. This study evaluates the role of conservative treatment for FAI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 87 patients (102 hips) diagnosed as FAI between January 2011 and May 2012 were included in this retrospective study. All patients underwent an initial 3-month conservative treatment followed by arthroscopic hip surgery if symptoms did not improve. Clinical outcome scores (modified Harris Hip Score, nonarthritic hip score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) were evaluated at baseline and at the end of followup, and scores were compared between the nonsurgical and surgical groups. RESULTS: The final analysis included 83 patients (55 men, 28 women; 97 hips) because four patients were lost to followup. The average age was 45.1 years and 14 patients had bilateral symptomatic FAI. After an initial conservative treatment averaging 27.5 months (range 24-36 months), 53 hips (54.6%) could perform normal daily activities. The nonsurgical group had significant improvements in all clinical scores at the end of followup (P < 0.001). Forty four hips (45.4%) were unresponsive to conservative treatment and underwent arthroscopic hip surgery with subsequent significant improvements in clinical scores (P < 0.001). At the end of followup, there were no significant differences in clinical scores between the two groups. CONCLUSION: An initial trial of conservative treatment of sufficient length should be considered for FAI patients before surgical intervention.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The intra-articular injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the knee has shown a potential for the treatment of generalized cartilage loss in osteoarthritis (OA). However, there have been few midterm reports with clinical and structural outcomes. PURPOSE: To assess the midterm safety and efficacy of an intra-articular injection of autologous adipose tissue-derived (AD) MSCs for knee OA at 2-year follow-up. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Eighteen patients with OA of the knee were enrolled (3 male, 15 female; mean age, 61.8 ± 6.6 years [range, 52-72 years]). Patients in the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups received an intra-articular injection of 1.0 × 107, 5.0 × 107, and 1.0 × 108 AD MSCs into the knee, respectively. Clinical and structural evaluations were performed with widely used methodologies including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and measurements of the size and depth of the cartilage defect, signal intensity of regenerated cartilage, and cartilage volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS: There were no treatment-related adverse events during the 2-year period. An intra-articular injection of autologous AD MSCs improved knee function, as measured with the WOMAC, Knee Society clinical rating system (KSS), and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and reduced knee pain, as measured with the visual analog scale (VAS), for up to 2 years regardless of the cell dosage. However, statistical significance was found mainly in the high-dose group. Clinical outcomes tended to deteriorate after 1 year in the low- and medium-dose groups, whereas those in the high-dose group plateaued until 2 years. The structural outcomes evaluated with MRI also showed similar trends. CONCLUSION: This study identified the safety and efficacy of an intra-articular injection of AD MSCs into the OA knee over 2 years, encouraging a larger randomized clinical trial. However, this study also showed potential concerns about the durability of clinical and structural outcomes, suggesting the need for further studies. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01300598.

The high failure rate of cemented femoral components in the 1970s facilitated the improvement of the cementing technique and surface finishes such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-precoated stems, reporting a survival rate of >95% at 10 years from some studies. However, controversy persists regarding whether precoated femoral stems are associated with a longer revision-free prosthesis survival. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of PMMA-precoated femoral stems, and analyze factors associated with implant survival. We retrospectively reviewed 73 primary hybrid total hip arthroplasties performed using PMMA-precoated femoral stems. The mean age of the patients was 61 years. During the mean follow-up period of 13 years, 18 hips (24.7%) underwent aseptic loosening, and all of the loosened stems were subjected to revision surgery 8.8 years (range 4.6-15.5 years) from the index surgery. Younger age and poor cementing were significantly associated with aseptic loosening (P = 0.013 and P < 0.001, respectively). However, the aseptic loosening rate was also high at 13.1% even with a good cementing technique. In conclusion, the PMMA-precoated stem failed to show expected advantages and needs to be replaced with other surface finish stem designs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BACKGROUND: Two main questions about the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for regeneration purposes are its effect on the speed of healing and the quality of healing. Despite recent numerous studies, evidence is still lacking in this area, especially in a representative patient population with medium to large rotator cuff tears. PURPOSE: To assess the efficacy of PRP augmentation on the speed and quality of healing in patients undergoing arthroscopic repair for medium to large rotator cuff tears. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. METHODS: A total of 74 patients scheduled for arthroscopic repair of medium to large rotator cuff tears were randomly assigned to undergo either PRP-augmented repair (PRP group) or conventional repair (conventional group). In the PRP group, 3 PRP gels (3 × 3 mL) were applied to each patient between the torn end and the greater tuberosity. The primary outcome was the Constant score at 3 months after surgery. Secondary outcome measures included the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, overall satisfaction and function, functional scores, retear rate, and change in the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the supraspinatus muscle. RESULTS: There was no difference between the 2 groups in the Constant score at 3 months (P > .05). The 2 groups had similar results on the VAS for pain, ROM, muscle strength, overall satisfaction and function, and other functional scores (all P > .05) except for the VAS for worst pain (P = .043). The retear rate of the PRP group (3.0%) was significantly lower than that of the conventional group (20.0%) (P = .032). The change in 1-year postoperative and immediately postoperative CSAs was significantly different between the 2 groups: -36.76 ± 45.31 mm(2) in the PRP group versus -67.47 ± 47.26 mm(2) in the conventional group (P = .014). CONCLUSION: Compared with repairs without PRP augmentation, the current PRP preparation and application methods for medium to large rotator cuff repairs significantly improved the quality, as evidenced by a decreased retear rate and increased CSA of the supraspinatus, but not the speed of healing. However, further studies may be needed to investigate the effects of PRP on the speed of healing without risking the quality.

BACKGROUND: Wear cannot be completely prevented after total hip arthroplasty. If severe polyethylene (PE) liner wear develops, the so-called catastrophic failure occurs and metallosis develops. We postulated that longevity of the new implant may be affected after revision surgery for metallosis following a catastrophic failure of a PE liner due to the substantial amount of PE wear particles and infiltration of the metal particles in this catastrophic condition. METHODS: Twenty-three hips of 23 patients were identified because they showed metallosis during revision total hip arthroplasties performed in Seoul National University Hospital between January 1996 and August 2004. They were followed for at least 6.5 years after the index revision total hip arthroplasty. The clinical and radiological results of revision total hip arthroplasties in these patients were evaluated. RESULTS: The median Harris hip score increased from 60 points before revision total hip arthroplasties to 90 points at the final follow-up. Osteolysis was detected at an average of 9.3 years after revision total hip arthroplasties in 13 hips and acetabular cup loosening at average 9.8 years after revision total hip arthroplasties in 9 hips. With radiographic evidence of osteolysis and loosening as the end points, the 15-year survival rates were 28.2% and 56.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The survival rate of revision total hip arthroplasty in patients with metallosis following a catastrophic failure of a PE liner was low.

We present a case of Aspergillus septic hip arthritis in an immunocompetent patient with undiagnosed recurrent pulmonary aspergillosis who underwent arthroscopic surgery. Biopsy specimens of synovium revealed fungal hyphae, confirming Aspergillus infection. Aspergillus septic hip arthritis can occur in immunocompetent patients, and arthroscopy can be a noninvasive surgical option in these cases.
RESUMO
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to have a potential for articular cartilage regeneration. However, most studies focused on focal cartilage defect through surgical implantation. For the treatment of generalized cartilage loss in osteoarthritis, an alternative delivery strategy would be more appropriate. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of intra-articular injection of autologous adipose tissue derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) for knee osteoarthritis. We enrolled 18 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and injected AD MSCs into the knee. The phase I study consists of three dose-escalation cohorts; the low-dose (1.0 × 10(7) cells), mid-dose (5.0 × 10(7)), and high-dose (1.0 × 10(8)) group with three patients each. The phase II included nine patients receiving the high-dose. The primary outcomes were the safety and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included clinical, radiological, arthroscopic, and histological evaluations. There was no treatment-related adverse event. The WOMAC score improved at 6 months after injection in the high-dose group. The size of cartilage defect decreased while the volume of cartilage increased in the medial femoral and tibial condyles of the high-dose group. Arthroscopy showed that the size of cartilage defect decreased in the medial femoral and medial tibial condyles of the high-dose group. Histology demonstrated thick, hyaline-like cartilage regeneration. These results showed that intra-articular injection of 1.0 × 10(8) AD MSCs into the osteoarthritic knee improved function and pain of the knee joint without causing adverse events, and reduced cartilage defects by regeneration of hyaline-like articular cartilage.

We performed 24 revisions of fractures of third generation ceramic heads. The stem was not changed in 20 revisions; a new ceramic-on-ceramic bearing was used in four and a metal-on-polyethylene bearing in 16. The stem was changed in four revisions; a new ceramic-on-ceramic bearing was used in three and a metal-on-polyethylene bearing in one. During the follow-up of 57.5 months, complications occurred in five hips among the 20 stem retained revisions: a fracture of the new ceramic head in two, metallosis with pseudocyst in two, and femoral osteolysis with stem loosening in one. However, there were no complications in the four revisions where the stem was changed. Revision surgery after ceramic head fracture shows high rates of early complications. We recommend stem revision in cases of THA failure due to fracture of a modern ceramic head.
