RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Acetabular reconstruction in the context of massive acetabular bone loss is challenging. Achieving implant stability in these situations requires special considerations. The cup-cage construct is a treatment option that addresses this issue. This study evaluates survivorship, complications, and functional outcomes using the cup-cage construct. METHODS: A total of 131 cup-cage implants (129 patients) were identified from our retrospective review of revision total hip arthroplasties from January 2003 to January 2022. Among these cases, 100 (76.3%) were women, the mean age at the time of surgery was 68 years (range, 29 to 92; SD [SD], 12.4), and the mean follow-up was 7.7 years (range, 0.02 to 20.3; SD, 5.1). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was conducted with failure defined as revision surgery and/or failure of the cup-cage reconstruction. RESULTS: At a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, the cup-cage construct survivorship due to all-cause failure was 83.9% (95% CI [confidence interval]: 77.6 to 90.2) at 5 years with 88 hips at risk, 74.8% (95% CI: 66.2 to 83.4) at 10 years with 38 hips at risk, and 69.8% (95% CI: 59.4 to 80.2) at 15 years with 11 hips at risk. The survivorship due to failure from aseptic loosening was 96.7% (95% CI: 93.6 to 99.8) at 5 years with 88 hips at risk and 95.5% (95% CI: 91.6 to 99.4) at 10 and 15 years with 38 and 11 hips at risk, respectively. The revision rate for aseptic loosening of the cup and/or cage, infection, dislocation, and aseptic loosening of the femoral stem was 5 of 131 (3.8%), 12 of 131 (9.1%), 10 of 131 (7.6%), and 2 of 131 (1.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The cup-cage construct is a reliable treatment option for the treatment of various acetabular defects. There are favorable survivorship, clinical, and radiographic outcomes, with a satisfactory complication rate.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The surgical management of large osteochondral lesions of the femoral head in young, active patients remains controversial. Fresh osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation can be a highly effective treatment for these lesions in some patients. This study investigated survivorship as well as clinical and radiographic outcomes after fresh OCA transplantation at a minimum 2-year follow-up (mean, 6.6 years; range, 0.6 to 13.7 years). METHODS: A retrospective review of 29 patients who underwent plug OCA transplantation for focal femoral head osteochondral lesions between 2008 and 2021 was performed. Patients were assessed clinically using the modified Harris Hip score (mHHS) preoperatively and at each follow-up visit. Postoperative radiographs were evaluated for graft integrity and osteoarthritis severity. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analyses with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed for the endpoint of conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). RESULTS: Overall graft survivorship for included patients was 78.4% (95% CI: 62.9 to 93.9) and 62.7% (95% CI: 39.6 to 85.8) at 5 and 10 years, respectively. There were ten patients (34.5%) who underwent conversion to THA. There was a significant difference using the log-rank test between survival for patients who had a preoperative diagnosis of osteonecrosis (ON) versus those who had other diagnoses (P = .002). The ten-year survival for those who had ON was 41.8% (95% CI: 4.8 to 78.8), and the ten-year survival for diagnoses other than ON was 85.7% (95% CI: 59.8 to 100). The mean mHHS score improved significantly (P < .001) from 48.9 (19 to 84) preoperatively to 77.4 (35 to 100) at the final follow-up. There were twenty patients (69.0%) who had mHHS ≥ 70 at the latest follow-up. Arthritic progression, indicated by an increase in the Kellgren and Lawrence grade, occurred in 7 hips (26.9%). CONCLUSIONS: An OCA transplantation is a viable treatment option for osteochondral defects of the femoral head in young, active patients who have minimal preexisting joint deformity. It may delay the progression of arthritis and the need for THA. Patients who had a preoperative diagnosis of ON had worse clinical outcomes than those who had other diagnoses.

Aims: Pelvic discontinuity is a challenging acetabular defect without a consensus on surgical management. Cup-cage reconstruction is an increasingly used treatment strategy. The present study evaluated implant survival, clinical and radiological outcomes, and complications associated with the cup-cage construct. Methods: We included 53 cup-cage construct (51 patients) implants used for hip revision procedures for pelvic discontinuity between January 2003 and January 2022 in this retrospective review. Mean age at surgery was 71.8 years (50.0 to 92.0; SD 10.3), 43/53 (81.1%) were female, and mean follow-up was 6.4 years (0.02 to 20.0; SD 4.6). Patients were implanted with a Trabecular Metal Revision Shell with either a ZCA cage (n = 12) or a TMARS cage (n = 40, all Zimmer Biomet). Pelvic discontinuity was diagnosed on preoperative radiographs and/or intraoperatively. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed, with failure defined as revision of the cup-cage reconstruction. Results: The five-year all-cause survival for cup-cage reconstruction was 73.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 61.4 to 85.4), while the ten- and 15-year survival was 63.7% (95% CI 46.8 to 80.6). Survival due to aseptic loosening was 93.4% (95% CI 86.2 to 100.0) at five, ten, and 15 years. The rate of revision for aseptic loosening, infection, and dislocation was 3/53 (5.7%), 7/53 (13.2%), and 6/53 (11.3%), respectively. The mean leg length discrepancy improved (p < 0.001) preoperatively from a mean of 18.2 mm (0 to 80; SD 15.8) to 7.0 mm (0 to 35; SD 9.8) at latest follow-up. The horizontal and vertical hip centres improved (p < 0.001) preoperatively from a mean of 9.2 cm (5.6 to 17.5; SD 2.3) to 10.1 cm (6.2 to 13.4; SD 2.1) and 9.3 cm (4.7 to 15.8; SD 2.5) to 8.0 cm (3.7 to 12.3; SD 1.7), respectively. Conclusion: Cup-cage reconstruction provides acceptable outcomes in the management of pelvic discontinuity. One in four constructs undergo revision within five years, most commonly for periprosthetic joint infection, dislocation, or aseptic loosening.

PURPOSE: Depression is a notable contributor to suboptimal outcomes after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). We conducted a systematic review of comparative studies to review the available evidence of interventions that affected depression scores and/or outcomes for patients undergoing TJA. METHODS: EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, and Scopus were reviewed systematically from inception until November 15, 2022. Studies that were relevant for this review included comparative studies between patients who received an intervention within 3 months before or after their primary total hip or knee arthroplasty procedure. The interventions included a wide range of modalities, which were grouped into psychotherapy, enhanced perioperative support, and pharmacotherapy. Other interventions included physiotherapy techniques with a psychological focus, art/music-based therapy, occupational therapy support, and educational interventions. Meta-analysis was conducted for psychotherapy and enhanced support. RESULTS: The final systematic review consisted of 28 relevant studies, most of which were randomized controlled trials. A total of 3,702 patients, with a mean age of 66 years, were considered, of whom 59% were female. Most of the studies reported a notable reduction in depressive symptoms and/or scores based on the interventions being analyzed. At 3 months postoperatively, psychotherapy and enhanced support both resulted in markedly better depression and function scores compared with control subjects, with psychotherapy additionally improving pain scores. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a wide range of interventions aimed at psychological optimization of patients undergoing TJA can improve depressive symptoms, pain, and function, even in the absence of a formal diagnosis of depression. Specifically, cognitive-based psychotherapy and enhanced perioperative support had the best evidence. Routine pharmacotherapy plays a limited role, if any, in the care of TJA. Additional efforts to develop pragmatic, evidence-based, and reproducible interventions are warranted to continue to optimize outcomes in TJA patients.
