Aims: Cemented hemiarthroplasty is an effective form of treatment for most patients with an intracapsular fracture of the hip. However, it remains unclear whether there are subgroups of patients who may benefit from the alternative operation of a modern uncemented hemiarthroplasty - the aim of this study was to investigate this issue. Knowledge about the heterogeneity of treatment effects is important for surgeons in order to target operations towards specific subgroups who would benefit the most. Methods: We used causal forest analysis to compare subgroup- and individual-level treatment effects between cemented and modern uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients aged > 60 years with an intracapsular fracture of the hip, using data from the World Hip Trauma Evaluation 5 (WHiTE 5) multicentre randomized clinical trial. EuroQol five-dimension index scores were used to measure health-related quality of life at one, four, and 12 months postoperatively. Results: Our analysis revealed a complex landscape of responses to the use of a cemented hemiarthroplasty in the 12 months after surgery. There was heterogeneity of effects with regard to baseline characteristics, including age, pre-injury health status, and lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption. This heterogeneity was greater at the one-month mark than at subsequent follow-up timepoints, with particular regard to subgroups based on age. However, for all subgroups, the effect estimates for quality of life lay within the confidence intervals derived from the analysis of all patients. Conclusion: The use of a cemented hemiarthroplasty is expected to increase health-related quality of life compared with modern uncemented hemiarthroplasty for all subgroups of patients aged > 60 years with a displaced intracapsular fracture of the hip.

BACKGROUND: Endoprostheses (EPC) are often utilized for reconstruction of the proximal humerus with either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or reverse arthroplasty (RA) constructs. RA constructs have improved outcomes in patients with primary lesions, but no studies have compared techniques in metastatic disease. The aim of this study is to compare functional outcomes and complications between HA and RA constructs in patients undergoing endoprosthetic reconstruction for proximal humerus metastases. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our institutional arthroplasty database to identify 66 (56% male; 38 HA and 28 RA) patients with a proximal humerus reconstruction for a non-primary malignancy. The majority (88%) presented with pathologic fracture, and the most common diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma (48%). RESULTSS: Patients with RA reconstructions had better postoperative forward elevation (74° vs. 32°, p < 0.01) and higher functional outcome scores. HA patients had more complications (odds ratio 13, p < 0.01), with instability being the most common complication. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with nonprimary malignancies of the proximal humerus had improved functional outcomes and fewer complications after undergoing reconstruction with a reverse EPC compared to a HA EPC. Preference for reverse EPC should be given in patients with good prognosis and ability to complete postoperative rehabilitation.

INTRODUCTION: Acetabular erosion is an important complication in hemiarthroplasty and may lead to total hip arthroplasty as a conversion. The results of total hip arthroplasty as a conversion remain unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the outcome of total hip arthroplasty as a conversion with primary total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PRISMA guidelines were used and Pubmed, Embase and the Cochrane libraries were searched. Both, studies comparing the outcome of total hip arthroplasty as a conversion with the outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty and the outcome of cohort studies limited to total hip arthroplasty as a conversion, were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non Randomized Studies checklist. Meta-analysis was performed concerning pooled annual revision, dislocation and infection rates. RESULTS: A total of 27 studies were available for analysis; four comparative studies and 23 cohort studies. Comparative studies were defined as high quality and cohort studies as medium quality. Analysis revealed a significantly higher overall revision risk (Hazard Ratio 1.72, 95% confidence interval 1.39 to 2.14) after total hip arthroplasty as a conversion compared to primary total hip arthroplasty. The annual revision rate of total hip arthroplasty as a conversion was 1.63% (95% confidence interval 1.14 to 2.33) in the comparative studies and 1.40% (95% confidence interval 1.17 to 1.66) in the cohort studies. A pooled infection rate of 4.34% (95% confidence interval 2.66 to 7.01) and dislocation rate of 4.79% (95% confidence interval 3.02 to 7.53), was found. CONCLUSIONS: Literature concerning the results of total hip arthroplasty as a conversion is limited. The risk of revision after conversion of hemiarthroplasty is higher compared to primary total hip arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND: Intravenous tranexamic acid (TA) has proven efficacy in reducing blood loss and incidence of transfusion of blood products in elective total joint arthroplasty. However, evidence of efficacy in the setting of intracapsular hip fractures needing hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) are scarce. This study aimed to assess post-operative transfusion incidence in this clinical setting. METHODS: Over a five-year period 250 patients with intracapsular neck of femur fractures requiring arthroplasty were randomised to two groups. The treatment group received three-dose intravenous TA protocol and the control group received usual treatment without administration of TA. Blood loss was estimated from the change in Hb levels on day 1, 3 and 5 after surgery compared to preoperative levels. Transfusions of blood products were recorded when they were triggered by an a priori protocol. Post-operative complications were recorded during patient hospital admission. RESULTS: The intervention group showed significantly lower transfusion incidence of packed red blood cells (PRBC) (6 vs. 15, p = 0.04, OR = 0.37, 95%CI OR = 0.14 to 0.99) and in the group of patients who received a blood transfusion, a trend was observed for patients who received TA to have lesser number of units of PRBC (mean = 1.3 vs. 1.6, p = 0.51). A significant difference was noted in post-operative Hb levels of day 1,3 and 5. Backward stepwise multivariable regression analysis showed the use of TA was the most significant factor for reduction in postoperative blood transfusion (p = 0.047, OR = 0.37, 95% CI OR = 0.14 to 0.99). Assessment of the strength of the correlation showed modest correlation (Pearson correlation - 0.13 p = 0.04, 95% CI correlation= -0.25 to -0.01). There was no increase in adverse events in patients who received TA. CONCLUSION: The use of TA in setting of intracapsular hip fractures requiring arthroplasty reduces blood loss, the need for transfusion of blood products and may reduce surgical site complications without increasing the risk of VTE.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: International variation exists in the types of shoulder replacement used for treatment of specific diseases. Implant choice continues to evolve without high-quality evidence. Our aim was to evaluate trends in incidence rates of shoulder replacement and assess any recent changes in practice between countries by using registry data. METHODS: Patient characteristics, indication and year of surgery, type of replacement, and collection methods of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) was extracted from 11 public joint registries. Meta-analyses examined use of reverse total shoulder replacement (RTSR) for osteoarthritis, cuff tear arthropathy, and acute fracture; use of anatomical total shoulder replacement (TSR) for osteoarthritis; and use of humeral hemiarthroplasty for fracture. RESULTS: The annual growth rate of shoulder replacements performed is 6-15% (2011-2019). The use of RTSR has almost doubled (93%). RTSR is now universally performed for cuff tear arthropathy (97.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 96.0-98.1). Its use for avascular necrosis, trauma, and inflammatory arthropathy is increasing. The use of RTSR was similar (43.1%, CI 30.0-57.2) versus TSR (44.7%, CI 31.1-59.1) for osteoarthritis. The types of PROMs used, collection time points, and response rates lack standardization. COVID-19 had a varying inter-registry impact on incidence rates. CONCLUSION: The incidence of shoulder replacements has grown. Use of RTSR has increased for all disease indications despite limited high-quality evidence driving this change in indications outside of cuff arthropathy. Consequently, less variation is observed in international practice. Existing differences now relate to use of newer implant types and methodology of PROMs collection, which prevents international comparison and outcome analysis.

Background: Hemiarthroplasty is frequently used to treat displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients, but it has a higher risk of postoperative dislocation. We introduced the posterior approach and inferior capsulotomy (PAICO) to enhance joint stability after bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture. We evaluated whether the PAICO would have a lower dislocation rate than the conventional posterior approach with superior capsulotomy. Methods: From January 2021 to December 2021, we prospectively recruited 25 patients (25 hips) aged 50 years or older who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures due to low-energy trauma as the PAICO group. We compared the PAICO group with a historical control group who had undergone hemiarthroplasty in 7 institutes between 2010 and 2020. The primary endpoint was dislocation within 1 year after the surgery. We compared data from the PAICO group with the data from the historical control group from the Korean Hip Fracture Registry which was carried out in South Korea. Results: A total of 25 patients (25 hips) were enrolled in the present study; 3,477 patients (3,571 hips) who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty were reviewed as the historical control group. In the PAICO group, we observed no dislocation, whereas the dislocation rate in the control group was 1.3%. Conclusions: In patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, the PAICO approach demonstrated comparable results in operation time and complication rates when compared to bipolar hemiarthroplasty using superior capsulotomy. Notably, there were no observed cases of dislocation among patients who underwent the PAICO approach. We recommend this PAICO approach to surgeons using the posterior approach, hoping to prevent dislocation in bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

INTRODUCTION: Cemented hip hemiarthroplasty is a routine surgical option for elderly neck of femur (NOF) fractures. It is uncertain if quality of cementing has any effect on functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine if the quality of cementing would affect short term functional outcomes in elderly neck of femur fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 637 single-centre cemented hip hemiarthroplasties from 2014 to 2021 was performed. Each post-operative radiograph was double-read by 2 authors (1 resident and 1 fellowship trained surgeon) to determine quality of cementing via the Barrack grading. Disagreements were reviewed by a third reader. Cement grades were grouped as Optimal (Barrack grade A-B), or Suboptimal (Barrack grade C-D). Functional outcomes were compared using mobility (community- or home-ambulant), assistance required for mobility, and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Surgical parameters were compared between the groups. RESULTS: There were 429 Optimal and 208 Suboptimal cases of cementing performed. There was no difference in age, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, mobility, assistance required, and MBI score pre-operatively (p > 0.05). Patients in the "Suboptimal" cementing group had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score (p < 0.001). At 1 year post-operation, there was no significant difference between "Optimal" and "Suboptimal" cementing with regards to the proportion of community ambulators (30.2% vs. 25.7%, p = 0.252), walking independence (independent walkers (19.8% vs.17.3%), independent walkers with aids (41.3%vs.42.1%), walker with caregiver assistance (29.2%vs.33.7%), wheelchair-bound (9.6%vs.6.9%), p = 0.478), and distribution of MBI score (81.1%vs.82.2% achieving MBI > 60, p = 0.767). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with postoperative delirium (7.9% vs. 5.8, p = 0.324) or 1-year mortality rates (3.5% vs. 2.9%, p = 0.685). Except for stem design (12.2% tapered vs 20.1% collared; p = 0.011), no other surgical parameters were significantly different. The kappa value for inter-reader agreement was "substantial" at 0.727 (95% CI 0.682-0.772) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Quality of cementing in cemented hip hemiarthroplasty for elderly NOF fractures does not affect the short-term functional outcomes. In low demand patients and patients at risk of BCIS, optimal cementing may not be necessary to achieve similar short-term functional outcomes. Further studies should be conducted to determine the effect of sub-optimal cementing on long-term functional outcomes.

PURPOSE: Major orthopedic surgeries of the lower extremities, which heavily injure the metaphyseal region, are strongly associated with the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This study aims to investigate the role of metaphyseal trauma as an independent risk factor for DVT. METHODS: Patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery of the hip and knee had their existing DVT risk factors recorded. Metaphyseal trauma was defined by the extent of bone injury during these surgeries. The samples were categorized into three surgery groups: total arthroplasty group (TA), hemiarthroplasty group (HA), and the open reduction internal fixation group (ORIF). Logistic regression test between significant existing risk factors and surgery groups determines the independent association between risk factors and DVT. RESULT: The study found a 24.8% incidence of asymptomatic DVT in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgeries, with the highest prevalence (37.2%) in TA, which had the largest extent of metaphyseal trauma and the least existing DVT risk factors. TA showed 6.2 OR and 95% CI (p = 0.036) compared to the other existing risk factor in relation to DVT incidence. CONCLUSION: Metaphyseal bone trauma in the hip and knee major orthopedic surgery is an independent risk factor for deep vein thrombosis.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of various factors, in particular operation time, on mortality and complication rates in patients with femoral neck fractures who have undergone hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) and to determine a cut-off value above which mortality and complication rates increase significantly. METHODS: Cases of patients with femoral neck fracture treated with HHA between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2023 were screened for eligibility. Multiple logistic regressions were calculated to determine which factors (patient age, experience of surgeon, patient sex, ASA score, time to surgery, operation time) influenced the incidence of complications and mortality. The exact cut-off value for complications and mortality was determined using the Youden index of the ROC curve (sensitivity vs. specificity) of logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 552 patients were considered eligible for this study. During the 90-day follow-up period after HHA, 50 deaths and 34 complications were recorded, giving a mortality rate of 9.1%, and a complication rate of 6.2%. Of the 34 complications recorded, 32.3% were infections, 14.7% dislocations, 20.7% trochanteric avulsions, 11.8% periprosthetic fractures, 11.8% nerve injuries, and 8.8% deep vein thrombosis. The odds ratio (OR) of a patient experiencing a complication is 2.2% higher for every minute increase in operation time (Exponential Beta - 1 = 0.022; p = 0.0363). The OR of a patient dying is 8.8% higher for each year increase in age (Exponential Beta - 1 = 0.088; p = 0.0007). When surgery was performed by a certified orthopaedic surgeon the mortality rate lowered by 61.5% in comparison to the surgery performed by a trainee (1 - Exponential Beta = 0.594; p = 0.0120). Male patients have a 168.7% higher OR for mortality than female patients (Exponential Beta - 1 = 1.687; p = 0.0017). Patients with an operation time of ≥ 86 min. have a 111.8% higher OR for mortality than patients with an operation time of < 86 min. (Exponential Beta - 1 = 1.118). CONCLUSION: This retrospective data analysis found that the risk of a patient experiencing a complication was 2.2% higher for every minute increase in operation time. Patients with an operation time above the cut-off of 86 min had a 111.8% higher risk of mortality than those with an operation time below the cut-off. Other influencing factors that operators should be aware of include patient age, male sex, and operator experience.

BACKGROUND: The surgical approach used for arthroplasty in the setting of hip fracture has traditionally been decided based on surgeon preference. This study analyzed the ef-fect of the surgical approach on hospital quality measures, complications, and mortality in patients treated with hip arthroplasty for fracture fixation. METHODS: A cohort of consecutive acute hip fracture pa-tients who were 60 years of age or older and who underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) at one academic medical center between January 2014 and January 2018 was included. Patient demographics, length of stay (LOS), surgery details, complications, ambulation at dis-charge, discharge location, readmission, and mortality were recorded. Two cohorts were included based on the surgical approach: the anterior-based cohort included the direct an-terior and anterolateral approaches and the posterior-based cohort included direct lateral and posterior approaches. RESULTS: Two hundred five patients were included: 146 underwent HA (81 anterior-based and 65 posterior-based) and 79 underwent THA (37 anterior-based and 42 posterior-based). The mean age of the HA and THA cohorts was 84.1 ± 7.5 and 73.7 ± 8.0 years, respectively. There was no dif-ference in LOS, time to surgery, or surgical time between the two cohorts for HA and THA. There were no differences in perioperative complications, including dislocation, ob-served based on surgical approach. No difference was found between readmission rates and mortality. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of hip fracture arthroplasty patients, there was no difference observed in hospital quality measures, readmission, or mortality in patients based on sur-gical approach. These results are in contrast with literature in elective arthroplasty patients supporting the use of an anterior approach for potential improved short-term outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: Cemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) is preferred in treating dislocated femoral neck fractures in elderly, osteoporotic patients, since uncemented HA was associated with mechanical complications more frequently. Cementation can conversely cause cardiopulmonary complications, leading to demand on safe, uncemented implants addressing osteoporosis. This study is set up as a retrospective feasibility study on the use of an uncemented, collared wedge implant (Actis®, DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN), for HA in elderly patients, focusing on complication rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1,194 patients, treated with HA in two study centers between 2017-2022, 188 received Actis® uncemented stem with bipolar head. Complete follow-up were retrospectively collected in all patients. RESULTS: In 188 patients (f: 64.9%; age: 83.1 ± 7.7a) included, no case of intra-operative mortality was recorded. 2 day mortality was 1.1%, 30 day mortality was 7.4% and 1 year mortality was 28.2%. 2 (1.1%) intra-operative fractures did not receive surgical revision, 3 (1.6%) post-operative periprosthetic fractures caused separate admission and revision. 2 cases (1.1%) of early infection required surgical revision. CONCLUSION: Our data provide proof of concept, that Actis® Stem allows an alternative, uncemented treatment option for displaced femoral neck fractures with HA. In case of preoperative or intraoperative medial cortical bone defects, stability of this implant is deteriorated.

OBJECTIVE: For elderly femoral neck fracture patients, anemia is one of the most common complications, increasing the risk of postoperative adverse events. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been widely applied to the perioperative blood management. However, the optimal route of TXA administration in elderly femoral neck fracture remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral and intravenous (IV) application of TXA in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA). METHODS: All elderly patients aged over 65 years old diagnosed with femoral neck fracture admitted to the trauma orthopedics from August 1, 2020 to February 28, 2022 were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Participants were divided into three groups: oral group: TXA 2g orally 2 h before incision; IV group: intravenous infusion of TXA 1g 15 min before incision; and control group: usual hemostatic method. The primary outcomes were total blood loss, allogeneic transfusion rate, and postoperative thromboembolic events. SPSS 23.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis, and p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 100 patients were enrolled, including 32 cases in the oral group, 34 cases in the IV group and 34 cases in the control group. Compared with the control group, the total perioperative blood loss in the oral and IV groups was significantly decreased (763.92 ± 358.64 mL vs 744.62 ± 306.88 mL vs 1250.60 ± 563.37 mL, p = 0.048). No significant difference was identified between the oral and IV groups (p = 0.970). The rate of allogeneic transfusion was lower in the oral and IV groups than in the control group, but the difference had no statistical significant (6 vs 5 vs 12, p = 0.108), However, subgroup analysis showed that the IV and oral groups in patients who underwent THA have significant lower transfusion rate compared with the control group (1 vs 3 vs 7, p = 0.02). During 6 months follow-up, no thromboembolic events were identified. Two patients (one from the oral group and one from the control group) died of respiratory failure. The cost of blood management from the oral group was significantly lower than IV (p < 0.001) and control groups (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Elderly patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing THA can benefit from both IV and oral administration of tranexamic acid. The results of these two administration routes are similar in safety and effectiveness. A similar tendency was observed in patients undergoing HA. Oral TXA is more cost-benefit compared with intravenous applications.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate peripheral nerve block (PNB) effectiveness in postoperative pain management and surgical outcomes for displaced femoral-neck fracture in geriatric patients (>70 years) who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). METHODS: From January 2017 to December 2021, 231 geriatric patients with displaced femoral-neck fracture who consecutively underwent BHA were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) group (n = 132) who received only intravenous (IV) PCA for postoperative pain management, and all others who received PNB with IV PCA (PNB+PCA) such as femoral nerve block or fascia iliaca compartment block after surgery (n = 99). Primary outcomes were postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) at rest and during activity at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complications, changes in hemoglobin, length of hospital stay, and total morphine usage after surgery. RESULTS: Postoperative resting VAS at 6 h and 48 h was significantly lower in the PNB+PCA group compared with the PCA group (p = 0.075, p = 0.0318, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in either resting VAS at 24 h or active VAS. Complications of pneumonia and delirium until 1 month postoperative were significantly lower in the PNB + PCA group than the PCA group (p = 0.0022, p = 0.0055, respectively). CONCLUSION: PNB with IV PCA seems to have a beneficial effect on geriatric femoral-neck patients who underwent BHA with postoperative analgesia for reducing postoperative resting pain and complications, especially pneumonia and delirium.

Aims: Metal and ceramic humeral head bearing surfaces are available choices in anatomical shoulder arthroplasties. Wear studies have shown superior performance of ceramic heads, however comparison of clinical outcomes according to bearing surface in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) is limited. This study aimed to compare the rates of revision and reoperation following metal and ceramic humeral head TSA and HA using data from the National Joint Registry (NJR), which collects data from England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the States of Guernsey. Methods: NJR shoulder arthroplasty records were linked to Hospital Episode Statistics and the National Mortality Register. TSA and HA performed for osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with an intact rotator cuff were included. Metal and ceramic humeral head prostheses were matched within separate TSA and HA groups using propensity scores based on 12 and 11 characteristics, respectively. The primary outcome was time to first revision and the secondary outcome was non-revision reoperation. Results: A total of 4,799 TSAs (3,578 metal, 1,221 ceramic) and 1,363 HAs (1,020 metal, 343 ceramic) were included. The rate of revision was higher for metal compared with ceramic TSA, hazard ratio (HR) 3.31 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67 to 6.58). At eight years, prosthesis survival for ceramic TSA was 98.7% (95% CI 97.3 to 99.4) compared with 96.4% (95% CI 95.2 to 97.3) for metal TSA. The majority of revision TSAs were for cuff insufficiency or instability/dislocation. There was no significant difference in the revision rate for ceramic compared with metal head HA (HR 1.33 (95% CI 0.76 to 2.34)). For ceramic HA, eight-year prosthetic survival was 92.8% (95% CI 86.9 to 96.1), compared with 91.6% (95% CI 89.3 to 93.5) for metal HA. The majority of revision HAs were for cuff failure. Conclusion: The rate of all-cause revision was higher following metal compared with ceramic humeral head TSA in patients with OA and an intact rotator cuff. There was no difference in the revision rate for HA according to bearing surface.

INTRODUCTION: Revision shoulder arthroplasty can be challenging. One of the main considerations for surgeons is the type of implant that was placed in the initial surgery. Anatomic shoulder arthroplasty (ASA) is used for cases of osteoarthritis as well as for fractures of the humeral head. Hemiarthroplasty can be used for complex proximal humerus fractures. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in clinical and radiographic outcomes between patients that failed primary fracture hemiarthroplasty (FHA), or ASA for osteoarthritis and then required reoperation with a conversion to reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). METHODS: Patients with failed anatomic shoulder replacement, who had undergone conversion to RSA, were enrolled after a mean follow-up of 107 (85-157) months. Two different groups, one with failed ASA implanted for osteoarthritis and one with failed FHA, were created. At follow-up patients were assessed with standard radiographs and clinical outcome scores. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients (f = 17, m = 12; 51%) suffered from a failed ASA (Group A), while the remaining 28 patients (f = 21, m = 74; 49%) had been revised due to a failed FHA (Group B). Patients of Group B had a poorer Constant score (Group A: 60 vs. Group B: 46; p = 0.02). Abduction (Group A: 115° vs. Group B: 89°; p = 0.02) was worse after conversion of a failed FHA to RSA in comparison to conversions of failed ASA. The mean bone loss of the lateral metaphysis was higher in patients with failed FHA (Group A: 5 mm vs. Group B: 20 mm; p = 0.0). CONCLUSION: The initial indication for anatomic shoulder arthroplasty influences the clinical and radiological outcome after conversion to RSA. Conversion of failed FHA to RSA is related to an increased metaphyseal bone loss, decreased range of motion and poorer clinical outcomes when compared to conversions of failed ASA implanted for osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III Retrospective Cohort Comparison Study.

PURPOSE: The patients with femoral metastasis in the inter- or subtrochanteric area could be treated with intramedullary nailing or prosthetic reconstruction, however, it is controversial which surgical treatment could offer less complications and implant failure. Our purpose was to define the risk of complications and implant survival in patients treated with intramedullary nailing or prosthetic reconstruction. METHODS: We analyzed studies reporting the risk of complications, reoperations and removal of the implant in patients treated with intramedullary nailing, hemiarthroplasty, arthroplasty or megaprosthesis. RESULTS: We analyzed 27 studies (1346 patients) reporting patients treated with intramedullary nail (51%), hemiarthroplasty (15%), arthroplasty (2%), megaprosthesis with (25%) or without (7%) acetabular component. No difference was found in the overall risk of complications between patients treated with intramedullary nailing 6%, hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty 7% and megaprosthesis 11% (p = 0.23). However, patients treated with megaprosthesis had increased risk of reoperation due to infection (70%), compared to the patients treated with intramedullary nail (13%), and patients treated with hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty (23%) (p = 0.02). Revision due to disease progression was required in 61% of the patients treated with intramedullary nail, but not in patients treated with hemiarthroplasty, total arthroplasty, and megaprosthesis (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Patients treated with megaprosthesis had higher risk of reoperation due to infection, while patients treated with intramedullary nailing had higher risk of revision due to disease progression. Regarding patients treated with megaprosthesis, the risk of reoperation due to dislocation was higher in those treated with acetabular component.

Background: The objective of our study was to analyze the postoperative direct medical expenses and hospital lengths of stay (LOS) of elderly patients who had undergone either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures and to determine the indication of THA by comparing those variables between the 2 groups by time. Methods: In this comparative large-sample cohort study, we analyzed data from the 2011 to 2018 Korean National Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. The included patients were defined as elderly individuals aged 60 years or older who underwent HA or THA for a femoral neck fracture. A 1:1 risk-set matching was performed on the propensity score, using a nearest-neighbor matching algorithm with a maximum caliper of 0.01 of the hazard components. In comparative interrupted time series analysis, time series were constructed using the time unit of one-quarter before and after 3 years from time zero. For the segmented regression analysis, we utilized a generalized linear model with a gamma distribution and logarithmic link function. Results: A total of 4,246 patients who received THA were matched and included with 4,246 control patients who underwent HA. Although there was no statistically significant difference in direct medical expense and hospital LOS for the first 6 months after surgery, direct medical expenses and hospital LOS in THA were relatively reduced compared to the HA up to 24 months after surgery (p < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, the THA group's hospital LOS decreased significantly compared to that of the HA group during the 7 to 36 months postoperative period in the 65 ≤ age < 80 age group (p < 0.05). Direct medical expenses of the THA group significantly decreased compared to those of the HA group during the period from 7 to 24 months after surgery in the men group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: When performing THA in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, the possibility of survival for at least 2 years should be considered from the perspective of medical expense and medical utilization. Additionally, in healthy and active male femoral neck fracture patients under the age of 80 years, THA may be more recommended than HA.

Background: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty, one of the main treatment modalities for hip fracture, does not always promise the ability to walk independently after surgery. Patients with the same fracture characteristics and comorbidities, implants, and operators may also have different outcomes. Sarcopenia is thought to be one of the causes of the inability to walk independently after this operation; however, it has not been widely studied and is often overlooked. Methods: This study used a case-control design with 23 patients in the case group (patients unable to walk independently) and 23 patients in the control group (patients able to walk independently). Sampling was carried out consecutively according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria based on the medical records of patients with hip fractures after bipolar hemiarthroplasty at our hospital. In the preoperative period, hand grip strength (HGS), mid-upper arm muscle area (MUAMA), calf circumference (CC), serum albumin level, and total lymphocyte count were measured. A muscle biopsy was performed intraoperatively from the gluteus muscle with the amount of 200-350 mg. The patient's walking ability was assessed in the polyclinic using the Timed Up and Go test 6 weeks postoperatively. The statistical tests used were descriptive statistics, proportion comparison analysis with the chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression test. Results: Univariate analysis using chi-square test proved HGS, MUAMA, CC, serum albumin level, and muscle fiber diameter as risk factors for inability to walk independently 6 weeks after bipolar hemiarthroplasty (p = 0.003, p = 0.003, p = 0.006, p = 0.044, and p = 0.000, respectively). Logistic regression test proved 3 direct risk factors for the inability to walk independently 6 weeks after bipolar hemiarthroplasty, namely MUAMA, serum albumin level, and muscle fiber diameter, as the strongest predictive factor (adjusted odds ratio, 63.12). Conclusions: Low MUAMA, serum albumin levels, and muscle fiber diameter are direct risk factors for the inability to walk independently in hip fracture patients 6 weeks after bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
