RESUMEN

Type 2 diabetes is linked with increased incidence and severity of osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of extracellular glucose within the normal blood glucose and hyperglycemic range on catabolic enzyme production by chondrocytes isolated from osteoarthritic (OA) and macroscopically normal (MN) human cartilage under oxygenated (18.9% oxygen) and hypoxic (1% oxygen) conditions. OA and MN chondrocytes were maintained in 4, 6, 8, or 10 mM glucose for 24 h. Glucose consumption, GLUT1 glucose transporter levels, MMP13 and ADAMTS5 production, and levels of RUNX2, a transcriptional regulator of MMP13, ADAMTS5, and GLUT1, were assessed by enzyme-linked assays, RT-qPCR and/or western blot. Under oxygenated conditions, glucose consumption and GLUT1 protein levels were higher in OA but not MN chondrocytes in 10 mM glucose compared to 4 mM. Both RNA and protein levels of MMP13 and ADAMTS5 were also higher in OA but not MN chondrocytes in 10 mM compared to 4 mM glucose under oxygenated conditions. Expression of RUNX2 was overall lower in MN than OA chondrocytes and there was no consistent effect of extracellular glucose concentration on RUNX2 levels in MN chondrocytes. However, protein (but not RNA) levels of RUNX2 were elevated in OA chondrocytes maintained in 10 mM versus 4 mM glucose under oxygenated conditions. In contrast, neither RUNX2 levels or MMP13 or ADAMTS5 expression were increased in OA chondrocytes maintained in 10 mM compared to 4 mM glucose in hypoxia. Elevated extracellular glucose leads to increased glucose consumption and increased RUNX2 protein levels, promoting production of MMP13 and ADAMTS5 by OA chondrocytes in oxygenated but not hypoxic conditions. These findings suggest that hyperglycaemia may exacerbate chondrocyte-mediated cartilage catabolism in the oxygenated superficial zone of cartilage in vivo in patients with undertreated type 2 diabetes, contributing to increased OA severity.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to improve the accuracy and precision of bony resections and implant position. However, the in vivo accuracy of the full surgical workflow has not been widely reported. The primary objective of this study is to determine the accuracy and precision of a robotic-arm-assisted system throughout the intraoperative workflow. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent primary TKA with various workflows and alignment targets by three arthroplasty-trained surgeons with previous experience using the ROSA® Knee System (Zimmer Biomet) over a 3-month follow-up period. Accuracy and precision were determined by measuring the difference between various workflow time points, including the final preoperative plan (PP), robot-validated (RV) resection angle and postoperative radiographs (PR). The absolute mean difference between the measurements determined accuracy, and the standard deviation represented precision. The lateral distal femoral angle, medial proximal tibial angle, femoral flexion angle and tibial slope were measured on postoperative coronal long-leg radiographs and true short-leg lateral radiographs. RESULTS: A total of 77 patients were included in the final analyses. The accuracy for the coronal femoral angle was 1.62 ± 1.11°, 0.75 ± 0.79° and 1.96 ± 1.29° for the differences between PP and PR, PP and RV and RV and PR. The tibial coronal accuracy was 1.44 ± 1.03°, 0.81 ± 0.67° and 1.57 ± 1.14° for PP/PR, PP/RV and RV/PR, respectively. Femoral flexion accuracy was 1.39 ± 1.05°, 0.83 ± 0.59° and 1.81 ± 1.21° for PP/PR, PP/RV and RV/PR, respectively. Tibial slope accuracy was 0.99 ± 0.72°, 1.19 ± 0.87° and 1.63 ± 1.11°, respectively. The proportion of patients within 3° was 93.2%, 95.3%, 97.3% and 94.6% for the distal femur, proximal tibia, femoral flexion and tibial slope angles when the final intraoperative plan was compared to PRs. No patients had a postoperative complication at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The ROSA Knee System has acceptable accuracy and precision of coronal and sagittal plane resections with few outliers at various steps throughout the platform's entire workflow in vivo. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: The prevalence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) are greater in females than males. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an underlying difference in the biology of OA chondrocytes between males and females. METHODS: Chondrocytes were obtained following knee arthroplasty from male and female patients with primary OA. Phenotype marker expression, glucose and fat consumption, and rates of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation were compared between females and males. RNAi was used to determine the consequences of differential expression of Sry-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) and PGC1α between males and females. RESULTS: OA chondrocytes from male donors showed elevated ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein levels of SOX9, elevated COL2A1 protein synthesis, higher glucose consumption, and higher usage of glycolysis compared to females. OA chondrocytes from females had higher PGC1α protein levels, higher fat consumption, and higher oxidative energy metabolism than males. Knockdown of SOX9 reduced expression of COL2A1 to a greater extent in male OA chondrocytes than females whereas knockdown of PGC1α reduced COL2A1 expression in females but not males. Expression of ACAN and the glycolytic enzyme PGK1 was also reduced in males but not females following SOX9 knockdown. CONCLUSIONS: OA chondrocyte phenotype and energy metabolism differ between males and females. Our results indicate transcriptional control of COL2A1 differs between the two. Differences in chondrocyte biology between males and females imply the underlying mechanisms involved in OA may also differ, highlighting the need to consider sex and gender when investigating pathogenesis and potential treatments for OA.

RESUMEN

Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for osteoarthritis. Elevated leptin levels have been implicated as a potential cause of this association. Previous studies have shown that supra-physiological leptin concentrations can induce osteoarthritis-like changes in chondrocyte phenotype. Here, we tested the effects of leptin in the concentration range found in synovial fluid on chondrocyte phenotype. Chondrocytes isolated from macroscopically normal regions of cartilage within osteoarthritic joints from patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, all with body mass index >30 kg/m2 were treated with 2-40 ng/ml leptin for 24 h. Chondrocyte phenotype marker expression was measured by RT-qPCR and western blot. The role of HES1 in mediating the effects of leptin was determined by gene knockdown using RNAi and over-expression using adenoviral-mediated gene delivery. Treatment of chondrocytes with 20 or 40 ng/ml leptin resulted in decreased SOX9 levels and decreased levels of the SOX9-target genes COL2A1 and ACAN. Levels of HES1 were lower and ADAMTS5 higher in chondrocytes treated with 20 or 40 ng/ml leptin. HES1 knockdown resulted in increased ADAMTS5 expression whereas over-expression of HES1 prevented the leptin-induced increase in ADAMTS5. An increase in MMP13 expression was only evident in chondrocytes treated with 40 ng/ml leptin and was not mediated by HES1 activity. High concentrations of leptin can cause changes in chondrocyte phenotype consistent with those seen in osteoarthritis. Synovial fluid leptin concentrations of this level are typically observed in patients with metabolic syndrome and/or women, suggesting elevated leptin levels may form part of the multifactorial network that leads to osteoarthritis development in these patients.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the risk factors for manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and whether performing an 'early' MUA within 3 months leads to a greater improvement in range of motion. METHODS: Primary TKAs performed between 2013 and 2018 at three tertiary New Zealand hospitals were reviewed with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Clinical details of patients who underwent MUA were reviewed to identify the knee flexion angle prior to and following MUA. Multivariate analysis identified the risk factors for undergoing MUA and compared flexion angles between 'early' (< 3 months) and 'late' MUA (> 3 months). RESULTS: A total of 7386 primary TKAs were analysed in which 131 underwent an MUA (1.8%). Patients aged < 65 years were two times more likely to undergo MUA compared to patients aged ≥ 65 years (2.5 versus 1.3%, p < 0.001; adjusted HR = 2.1, p < 0.001). There was no difference in the final flexion angle post-MUA between early and late MUA (104.7° versus 104.1°, p = 0.819). However, patients who underwent early MUA had poorer pre-MUA flexion (72.3° versus 79.6°, p = 0.012), and subsequently had a greater overall gain in flexion compared to those who underwent late MUA (mean gain 33.1° versus 24.3°, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Younger age was the only patient risk factor for MUA. Patients who underwent early MUA had similar post-MUA flexion, but had poorer pre-MUA flexion compared to those who underwent late MUA. Subsequently, a greater overall gain in flexion was achieved in those who underwent early MUA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

RESUMEN

HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: Traumatic rotator cuff injuries can be a leading cause of prolonged shoulder pain and disability and contribute to significant morbidity and health care costs. Previous studies have shown evidence of sociodemographic disparities with these injuries. The purpose of this nationwide study was to better understand these disparities based on ethnicity, sex, and socioeconomic status, in order to inform future health care strategies. METHODS: Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) is a no-fault comprehensive compensation scheme encompassing all of Aotearoa/New Zealand (population in 2018, 4.7 million). Using the ACC database, traumatic rotator cuff injuries were identified between January 2010 and December 2018. Injuries were categorized by sex, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic deprivation index of the claimant. RESULTS: During the 9-year study period, there were 351,554 claims accepted for traumatic rotator cuff injury, which totaled more than NZ$960 million. The greatest proportion of costs was spent on vocational support (49.8%), then surgery (26.3%), rehabilitation (13.1%), radiology (8.1%), general practitioner (1.6%), and "Other" (1.1%). Asian, Maori (indigenous New Zealanders), and Pacific peoples were under-represented in the age-standardized proportion of total claims and had lower rates of surgery than Europeans. Maori had higher proportion of costs spent on vocational support and lower proportions spent on radiology, rehabilitation, and surgery than Europeans. Males had higher number and costs of claims and were more likely to have surgery than females. There were considerably fewer claims from areas of high socioeconomic deprivation. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This large nationwide study demonstrates the important and growing economic burden of rotator cuff injuries. Indirect costs, such as vocational supports, are a major contributor to the cost, suggesting improving treatment and rehabilitation protocols would have the greatest economic impact. This study has also identified sociodemographic disparities that need to be addressed in order to achieve equity in health outcomes.

RESUMEN

Chondrocyte phenotype and energy metabolism are altered in osteoarthritis (OA). However, most studies characterising the change in human chondrocyte behaviour in OA have been conducted in supraphysiological oxygen concentrations. The purpose of this study was to compare phenotype and energy metabolism in chondrocytes from macroscopically normal (MN) and OA cartilage maintained in 18.9% (standard tissue culture), 6% (equivalent to superficial zone of cartilage in vivo) or 1% oxygen (equivalent to deep zone of cartilage in vivo). MMP13 production was higher in chondrocytes from OA compared to MN cartilage in hyperoxia and physoxia but not hypoxia. Hypoxia promoted SOX9, COL2A1 and ACAN protein expression in chondrocytes from MN but not OA cartilage. OA chondrocytes used higher levels of glycolysis regardless of oxygen availability. These results show that differences in phenotype and energy metabolism between chondrocytes from OA and MN cartilage differ depending on oxygen availability. OA chondrocytes show elevated synthesis of cartilage-catabolising enzymes and chondrocytes from MN cartilage show reduced cartilage anabolism in oxygenated conditions. This is relevant as a recent study has shown that oxygen levels are elevated in OA cartilage in vivo. Our findings may indicate that this elevated cartilage oxygenation may promote cartilage loss in OA.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Tendinopathy is a major complication of diet-induced obesity. However, the effects of a high-fat diet (HFD) on tendon have not been well characterised. We aimed to determine: [1] the impact of a HFD on tendon properties and gene expression; and [2] whether dietary transition to a control diet (CD) could restore normal tendon health. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomised into three groups from weaning and fed either a: CD, HFD or HFD for 12 weeks and then CD thereafter (HF-CD). Biomechanical, histological and structural evaluation of the Achilles tendon was performed at 17 and 27 weeks of age. Tail tenocytes were isolated with growth rate and collagen production determined. Tenocytes and activated THP-1 cells were exposed to conditioned media (CM) of visceral adipose tissue explants, and gene expression was analysed. RESULTS: There were no differences in the biomechanical, histological or structural tendon properties between groups. However, tenocyte growth and collagen production were increased in the HFD group at 27 weeks. There was lower SOX-9 expression in the HFD and HF-CD groups at 17 weeks and higher expression of collagen-Iα1 and matrix metalloproteinase-13 in the HFD group at 27 weeks. THP-1 cells exposed to adipose tissue CM from animals fed a HFD or HF-CD had lower expression of Il-10 and higher expression of Il-1ß. CONCLUSIONS: In this rodent model, a HFD negatively altered tendon cell characteristics. Dietary intervention restored some gene expression changes; however, adipose tissue secretions from the HF-CD group promoted an increased inflammatory state in macrophages. These changes may predispose tendon to injury and adverse events later in life.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Intra-articular administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) in orthopaedic arthroplasty and arthroscopic procedures has become increasingly common over the past decade. However, several recent reports have shown that TXA has the potential to be cytotoxic to cartilage, tendon and synovium. Our aim was to review the literature for evidence of toxic effects from TXA exposure to intra-articular tissue. METHODS: A scoping review methodology was used to search for studies assessing the toxic effects of TXA exposure to intra-articular tissues. MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and The Cochrane Library were searched. Relevant information was extracted and synthesis of the retrieved data followed a basic content analytical approach. RESULTS: A total of 15 laboratory studies were retrieved. No clinical studies reporting a toxic effect of TXA on intra-articular tissue were identified in our search. Studies were analysed according to species of origin, tissue of origin and study setting (in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo). There was increasing cytotoxicity to chondrocytes, tenocytes, synoviocytes and periosteum-derived cells with TXA concentrations beyond 20 mg/ml. Monolayer cell cultures appear more susceptible to TXA exposure, than three-dimensional and explant culture models. In vivo studies have not demonstrated a major toxic effect. CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence suggests a dose-dependent toxic effect on cartilage, tendon, and synovial tissue. Concentrations of 20 mg/ml or less are expected to be safe. There is a significant body of evidence to suggest the need for caution with intraarticular administration of TXA. There is a need for further human clinical trials in order to clarify the long-term safety of TXA topical application.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most common cause of failure following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to determine the success of debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in a large cohort of TKA PJIs and assess the utility of current classification systems in predicting DAIR outcomes in early postoperative, late hematogenous, and chronic PJIs. METHODS: In a multicenter review over 15 years, 230 patients underwent DAIR for first episode PJI following primary TKA. Patient demographics, disease and surgical factors, treatment regime, and outcomes were identified. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to identify factors associated with successful DAIR. Continuous variables with predictive value were further analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. The ability to predict DAIR outcomes of multiple classification systems was also assessed. RESULTS: Patients were followed for an average of 6.9 years. The overall success rate of DAIR was 53.9%. On receiver operating characteristic analysis, 3 months (area under the curve = 0.63) and 1-year age (area under the curve = 0.66) of implant cut-offs was similarly predictive of outcomes. On multivariate survival analysis, DAIR was successful in 64% of "early" PJIs (implant <1 year) vs 38% of "late hematogenous" PJIs (implant >1 year; odds ratio [OR] 1.78, P = .01). For late PJIs (implant >1 year), Staphylococcus aureus (OR 4.70, P < .001) and gram-negative infections (OR 2.56, P = .031) were risk factors for DAIR failure. CONCLUSION: DAIR has a high failure rate in all PJIs occurring more than a year post primary TKA, particularly when caused by S aureus or gram-negative bacteria. The age of implant is an important predictor of DAIR outcomes.

RESUMEN

(Background) Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) provide a low-cost, portable solution to obtain functional measures similar to those captured with three-dimensional gait analysis, including spatiotemporal gait characteristics. The primary aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of a remote patient monitoring (RPM) workflow using ankle-worn IMUs measuring impact load, limb impact load asymmetry and knee range of motion in combination with patient-reported outcome measures. (Methods) A pilot cohort of 14 patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis was prospectively enrolled. RPM in the community was performed weekly from 2 up to 6 weeks post-operatively using wearable IMUs. The following data were collected using IMUs: mobility (Bone Stimulus and cumulative impact load), impact load asymmetry and maximum knee flexion angle. In addition, scores from the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), EuroQol Five-dimension (EQ-5D) with EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) and 6 Minute Walk Test were collected. (Results) On average, the Bone Stimulus and cumulative impact load improved 52% (p = 0.002) and 371% (p = 0.035), compared to Post-Op Week 2. The impact load asymmetry value trended (p = 0.372) towards equal impact loading between the operative and non-operative limb. The mean maximum flexion angle achieved was 99.25° at Post-Operative Week 6, but this was not significantly different from pre-operative measurements (p = 0.1563). There were significant improvements in the mean EQ-5D (0.20; p = 0.047) and OKS (10.86; p < 0.001) scores both by 6 weeks after surgery, compared to pre-operative scores. (Conclusions) This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of a reliable and low-maintenance workflow system to remotely monitor post-operative progress in knee arthroplasty patients. Preliminary data indicate IMU outputs relating to mobility, impact load asymmetry and range of motion can be obtained using commercially available IMU sensors. Further studies are required to directly correlate the IMU sensor outputs with patient outcomes to establish clinical significance.

RESUMEN

AIM: The purpose of this study was to clarify the medium to long term survival of aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKAs) and identify the common modes of failure following RTKAs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multi-center, retrospective study included all aseptic RTKAs performed at three tertiary referral hospitals between 2003 and 2016. Patients were excluded if the revision was for prosthetic joint infection (PJI) or they had previously undergone revision surgery. Minor revisions not involving the tibial or femoral components were also excluded. Demographics, surgical data and post-operative outcomes were recorded and analyzed. Survival analysis was performed and the reasons for revision failure identified. RESULTS: Of 235 aseptic RTKAs identified, 14.8% underwent re-revision at mean follow-up of 8.3 years. Survivorship of RTKA was 93% at 2 years and 83% at 8 years. Average age at revision was 72.9 years (range 53-91.5). The most common reasons for failure following RTKA were periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (40%), periprosthetic fracture (25.7%) and aseptic loosening (14.3%). Of those whose RTKA failed, the average survival was 3.33 years (8 days-11.4 years). No demographic or surgical factors were found to influence RTKA survival on univariate or multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: PJI and periprosthetic fracture are the leading causes of re-revision surgery following aseptic revision TKA. Efforts to improve outcomes of aseptic revision TKA should focus on these areas, particularly prevention of PJI.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The hip abductors are crucial in maintaining pelvic stability. Tears in these tendons are common and often debilitating. There is uncertainty regarding both the histological and macroscopic features of hip abductor tears. This study aims to clarify both the macroscopic and microscopic features of the tendon and enthesis in hip abductor tendon tears. METHODS: Thirty-six cadavers with an average age of 81 were dissected, and the hip abductor mechanisms removed en-bloc. The presence, location and size of the tears were recorded and analysed. The samples were processed into histological blocks and viewed using both transmitted and polarised light. Tendon histology was graded using the modified Movin's score in three sections (deep, middle and superficial layers) and the enthesis graded separately using 5-point criteria. Analysis of variance was used to confirm histological features associated with tears. RESULTS: Tears were found in 24 of 36 samples (67%). The most common finding was an isolated tear in the gluteus minimus (46%), followed by concurrent gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tears (33%). Histology revealed significantly more degeneration in both the tendon (p = 0.0005) and enthesis (p = 0.0011) when tears were present. Furthermore, these changes were concentrated in the deeper layers of the tendon (p = 0.0002) and enthesis (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated degeneration as the primary pathology underlying hip abductor tendon tears. Degenerative changes occur in both the tendon and enthesis, with the deeper layers predominantly affected. These findings are important for guiding surgical repair techniques and to aid the development of novel materials and biologics.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the leading cause of early revisions after total knee arthroplasty. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) procedures are often the initial treatment for PJI. However, there is concern that failed DAIR undermines the future success of revision procedures. This study aims to investigate the impact of DAIR on the success of subsequent staged revisions for PJI. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective review was performed over a 15-year period. Treatment success was defined as implant retention without the use of long-term suppressive antibiotics. This was compared between patients who underwent a staged revision as the first procedure for PJI (staged-only) and patients who failed DAIR before staged revision (F-DAIR). Competing risk survival analysis was performed to compare the 2 groups and considered for patient demographics, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, organism type, body mass index, age of prosthesis, and duration of symptoms. RESULTS: Of 291 eligible patients, 63 underwent staged revision and 228 underwent DAIR as the first procedure for PJI. Of the 228 DAIR patients, 75 failed DAIR and underwent subsequent staged revision (F-DAIR). At mean follow-up of 6.2 years, the success rate was 72% in the F-DAIR group and 81% in the staged-only group. On survival analysis, there was no significant difference in subdistribution hazard ratio comparing the probability of failure (implant retention) in the 2 treatments groups (subdistribution hazard ratio = 0.72; 95% confidence interval 0.32-1.61; P = .42). CONCLUSION: This study suggested that a previously failed DAIR does not compromise the success rate of a subsequent staged revision.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to assess the outcomes of 52 consecutive Vancouver B2 peri-prosthetic fractures around cemented polished double-tapered stems treated by open reduction and internal fixation in 2 trauma centers in 2 countries. METHODS: Outcomes included modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Harris Pain Score, and return to pre-injury mobility. Fracture healing was assessed; implant subsidence measured and complications including re-operations reported. RESULTS: No patient was lost to follow-up. Median patient age at operation was 82 years (range 43-98); Harris pain scores showed minimal pain (median 42, range 10-44) at latest follow-up. Median total subsidence at 1 year was 1.1 mm (range 0-5.4), the majority of which occurred within the cement mantle. No subsequent femoral stem revision was required (median 2.9 years, 0-10); however, there were 3 re-operations: 1 re-operation for pre-existing recurrent dislocation involving head liner exchange and 2 for repeat fixation due to metal fatigue. Two additional fractures occurred below the new plating, requiring further plating whilst still retaining the original stems. CONCLUSION: Anatomical reduction and open reduction and internal fixation of Vancouver B2 peri-prosthetic fractures should be considered as an appropriate treatment solution for frail elderly patients with a peri-prosthetic fracture around cemented polished double-tapered stems.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Postoperative anemia following elective arthroplasty can lead to prolonged hospital stay and delays in rehabilitation and is often poorly tolerated in patients with cardiovascular disease. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to reduce perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, questions over its optimal route of administration remain. METHODS: A double-blinded, placebo, multicentered, randomized, controlled trial investigating the efficacy of topical and systemic routes of a single intraoperative dose (1.5 g) of TXA was conducted. Patients undergoing primary, unilateral TKA were screened for eligibility. Eligible patients were consecutively enrolled from 5 New Zealand centers between July 2014 and November 2015. Three prospective groups running in parallel (topical TXA [tTXA], systemic TXA [sTXA], and placebo) were investigated for a primary outcome of estimated perioperative blood loss. An intention-to-treat analysis was used to compare outcomes between the study groups (P value <.05). RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-four patients across the 5 hospitals were recruited into the study. Estimated blood loss was equivalent in the 2 treatment groups, sTXA (749 mL [95% confidence interval, 637-860]) and tTXA (723 mL [620-826]). Compared to the placebo group (1090 mL [923-1257]), blood loss was significantly lower in both treatment groups (P = .001 and P = .0003, respectively). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes, including rates of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (P = .759). CONCLUSION: In the setting of elective TKA, a single 1.5-g dose of tTXA given intraoperatively either systemically or topically effectively reduces blood loss without an increase in complications.

RESUMEN

Periprosthetic osteolysis in the retroacetabular region with cancellous bone loss is a recognized phenomenon in the long-term follow-up of total hip replacement. The effects on load transfer in the presence of defects are less well known. A validated, patient-specific, 3D finite element (FE) model of the pelvis was used to assess changes in load transfer associated with periprosthetic osteolysis adjacent to a cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) component. The presence of a cancellous defect significantly increased (p < 0.05) von Mises stress in the cortical bone of the pelvis during walking and a fall onto the side. At loads consistent with single leg stance, this was still less than the predicted yield stress for cortical bone. During higher loads associated with a fall onto the side, highest stress concentrations occurred in the superior and inferior pubic rami and in the anterior column of the acetabulum with larger cancellous defects.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Surgeons have several implant choices when managing Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic fractures about the hip. Few long-term studies have reported outcomes for tapered fluted titanium stems. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We determined (1) survival, with femoral revision as the end point, of distal taper stems in the treatment of Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic fractures at our institution, (2) radiographic outcomes, and (3) quality of life and hip function after revision. METHODS: Of the 200 patients with Vancouver B2 or B3 periprosthetic fractures treated with femoral revision between February 2000 and February 2010, 55 (38 B2, 17 B3) were treated with modular tapered titanium stems. Of the surviving 47 patients, one was lost to followup, leaving 46 (30 B2, 16 B3) available for review at a mean of 54 months (range, 24-143 months). Initial indications for using these implants were treatment of periprosthetic fractures where less than 4 cm of diaphyseal fit was available, but this evolved during the study period to all fractures unless no diaphysis remained, in which case complex revision techniques were used. Radiographs were assessed to establish fracture healing, stem subsidence, and bone stock restoration. Quality of life and hip function were assessed using WOMAC, Oxford, SF-12, UCLA activity level, and satisfaction scores. RESULTS: Two femoral stems were revised: one subsided and was revised at 12 months; the other had deep infection and underwent two-stage revision at 49 months. Radiographic review showed one nonunion, with maintenance or improvement of bone stock in 89% of patients. Subsidence occurred in 24%. Mean Oxford score was 76 of 100, WOMAC function and pain scores were 75 and 82 of 100, satisfaction score was 91 of 100, and SF-12 mental and physical scores were 53 and 40 of 100. CONCLUSIONS: We report encouraging short-term results in terms of survival of distal taper stems in the treatment of B2 and B3 periprosthetic fractures. Although subsidence was frequent, most migrated less than 3 mm without correlation to poor pain and functional scores.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated poor outcomes in patients having revision of hip resurfacing resulting from adverse local tissue reaction and pseudotumor. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We reviewed all patients at our institution who had revision of failed large-head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty to determine (1) complications including reoperations; (2) radiologic outcomes; and (3) changes in serum ions after removal of the metal bearing. METHODS: From our research database, we identified 32 hips in 30 patients. Revisions were performed through a posterior approach; 17 were performed with a titanium fiber-metal shell and 15 with a porous tantalum shell, and 29 of the 32 revisions were performed with large (36- or 40-mm) femoral heads. Clinical records were reviewed and interviews conducted in the clinic or by telephone. Nineteen hips had a pre- or intraoperative diagnosis of adverse local tissue reaction, three had deep infection, and 10 had loosening of the acetabular component. RESULTS: Major complications occurred in 12 (38%) of the 32 revisions. Nine of 32 hips (28%) sustained dislocations. Four of 17 fiber-metal acetabular components failed to ingrow; none of the porous tantalum cups failed to ingrow. Seven repeat revisions were performed in six patients: three for acetabular loosening, three for recurrent dislocation, and one for recurrent adverse local tissue reaction. The mean WOMAC pain score was 78 of 100 and the function score was 83 of 100. Metal ion levels decreased after revision in most patients. CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the high rate of failure of the fiber metal cups, we have elected to use an enhanced fixation surface with a high-porosity cup for revision of these cases. We observed a high rate of dislocation despite the use of 36-mm and 40-mm heads.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The use of larger femoral heads in total hip replacement (THR) has increased over the last decade. While the relationship between increasing head size and increased stability is well known, the risk of revision with increasing head size remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of total hip joint replacement with 32-mm and 36-mm heads. METHODS: We carried out a 20-year retrospective analysis of prospective data from the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR). All primary total hip replacements registered between January 1999 and December 2018 were included. We compared the rate of revision of 32-mm and 36-mm heads in THR. Sub-group analysis included comparisons of bearing type and all-cause revision. RESULTS: 60,051 primary THRs met our inclusion criteria. The revision rate per 100 component years was significantly higher with a 36-mm head than with a 32-mm head (0.649 vs. 0.534, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of bearing type showed no significant differences in revision rates for all combinations of 36-mm heads when compared to 32-mm (p = 0.074-0.92), with the exception of metal-on-metal (MoM); p = 0.038. When MoM was removed there was no significant difference in revision rates per 100 component years between 32-mm and 36-mm heads, 0.528 versus 0.578 (p = 0.099). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing head size from 32 mm to 36 mm results in no significant increase in revision in all bearing combinations except MoM.
