Background and Objectives: Few studies have investigated the socioeconomic factors associated with retear after rotator cuff repair. This study aimed to identify the risk factors, including socioeconomic factors, for rotator cuff retear in patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 723 patients diagnosed with full-thickness rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair from March 2010 to March 2021. The outcome variable was rotator cuff retear observed on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography. Sex, age, obesity, diabetes, symptom duration, and tear size were the independent variables. Socioeconomic variables included occupation, educational level, type of medical insurance, and area of residence. We compared patients with and without retear and estimated the effects of the independent factors on retear risk. Results: The mean age of the patients, symptom duration, and tear size were 62.4 ± 8.0 years, 1.8 ± 1.7 years, and 21.8 ± 12.5 mm, respectively. The age, type of medical insurance, diabetes, tear size, and symptom duration differed significantly between patients with and without retearing (p < 0.05). Age, occupation, type of medical insurance, diabetes, initial tear size, and symptom duration significantly affected the risk of retear. Patients who performed manual labor had a significantly higher retear rate (p = 0.005; OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.23-3.11). The highest retear risk was seen in patients with Medicaid insurance (p < 0.001; OR, 4.34; 95% CI, 2.09-9.02). Conclusions: Age, initial tear size, and symptom duration significantly affect retear risk after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Occupation and type of medical insurance were also risk factors for retear. Socioeconomically vulnerable patients may be at a greater risk of retear. Proactive efforts are required to expand early access to medical care.

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of double plate fixation for failed clavicle shaft fracture surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed 14 patients who underwent double plate fixation due to plate failure after clavicle shaft fracture surgery from March 2016 to March 2021. The study used 3.5 mm locking compression plates for superior clavicle and anterior reconstruction in all patients. In addition, moldable allograft bone was used to fill the bone defect. Clinical and radiological evaluation was performed immediately, at 2 and 4 weeks, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. The visual analog scale (VAS), University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale, and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores and range of motion of the shoulder were evaluated as clinical results. For radiological evaluation, anteroposterior, caudal, and cephalad views of both clavicles were used. Successful bone union was defined as complete adjoining of the fracture site through callus formation. RESULTS: Successful bone union was achieved in all patients, and the mean time to bone union was 16.7 ± 1.2 weeks (range, 12-24 weeks). Statistically significant improvement in forward flexion and external and internal rotation was observed from 135.5° ± 6.3, 45.2° ± 5.3, and 13° ± 2.3 preoperatively to 157.0° ± 9.3, 68.7° ± 6.3, and 9.8° ± 3.1 at the final follow-up, respectively. The VAS score improved from an average of 6.2 ± 2.8 preoperatively to 1.3 ± 0.7 at the final follow-up, which was statistically significant (P = 0.018). In addition, the ASES score significantly increased from a mean of 52.1 ± 6.3 points preoperatively to 83.6 ± 7.8 points at the final follow-up (P = 0.001). The average UCLA shoulder score was 16.7 ± 1.4 and 31.4 ± 2.2 points preoperatively and at the final follow-up, respectively, which was statistically significant (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Double plate fixation has shown good results after failed open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for clavicle shaft fractures. Therefore, in complicated situations after ORIF, double plate fixation is considered a surgical treatment option.

This study aims to investigate the bone regeneration effect of bovine hydroxyapatite-processed biomaterials Bone-XB and S1-XB in a beagle mandibular defect model. A total of four saddle-type critical sizes (15 mm × 10 mm) bone defects are created in each dog: two defects in the left mandible and two defects in the right mandible. The defect control (DC) group is kept unfilled, and the other three defects are filled with three different biomaterials as follows: positive control Bio-Oss (Bio-Oss group), Bone-XB (XB group), and S1-XB (S1-XB group). Bone regeneration is evaluated by radiography, micro-computed tomography, and histological analysis. It is revealed that Bone-XB and S1-XB significantly increase newly formed bone, defect filling percentage, and bone healing score compared to the DC group, which is confirmed by bone microstructure augmentation (bone volume/total volume, trabecular number, and trabecular thickness). Interestingly, no significant differences are observed between the Bone-XB, S1-XB, and Bio-Oss groups. It is suggested that Bone-XB or S1-XB stimulates bone regeneration demonstrated by the increase in newly formed bone and bone microstructure, thereby improving bone defect filling, which is equivalent to the Bio-Oss. Therefore, bovine hydroxyapatite-processed Bone-XB or S1-XB can be considered effective biomaterials for correcting critical-size bone defects or fractures.

Background: Light-emitting diode (LED)-based photobiomodulation is used as an inducer of cell regeneration. Although numerous in vitro and in vivo orthopedic studies have been conducted, the ideal LED wavelength range for tendon healing has not yet been determined. This study, thus, focused on the effects of LED of a 630 nm wavelength on the cell viability, proliferation, and migration of human biceps tendon fibroblast cells. Methods: Human tendon fibroblast cell culture was performed using the biceps tendon of patients who had undergone biceps tenodesis. Human biceps tendon fibroblasts from two patients (male, aged 42 and 69 years) were isolated and cultured. The cell type was confirmed by a morphological analysis and using tendon and fibroblast specific markers. They were then split into three groups, with each receiving a different irradiation treatment: no LED treatment (control), 630 nm LED, and 630 nm + 880 nm LED for 20 minutes each. After the LED treatment, cell viability, proliferation, and migration assays were performed, and the results were compared between the groups. Results: Twenty-four hours after LED treatment, cell viability and proliferation were significantly increased in the 630 nm LED and 630 nm + 880 nm LED treatment groups compared to that in the control group (p < 0.05). Under the same conditions, compared with the control group, the 630 nm LED alone treatment group showed a 3.06 ± 0.21 times higher cell migration rate (p < 0.05), and the 630 nm + 880 nm LED combination treatment group showed a 2.88 ± 0.20 times higher cell migration rate (p < 0.05) in three-dimensional migration assay. Conclusions: In human tendon fibroblast cells, 20 minutes of LED treatment at 630 nm and 630 nm + 880 nm exhibited significant effects on cell proliferation and migration. Our findings suggest the potential of LED therapy as an adjuvant treatment for tendon healing, and hence, further research is warranted to standardize the various parameters to further develop and establish this as a reliable treatment regimen.

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the incidence of and risk factors for nonunion in patients with posttraumatic subtalar arthrodesis (SA). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 165 posttraumatic SA cases. Nonunion was diagnosed at 6 months after surgery based on the findings of clinical evaluations, plain radiographs, and CT scans. Patient-specific factors and surgeon-specific factors were evaluated as potential risk factors. RESULTS: The overall nonunion rate was 13.3 % (22 of 165 cases). In the final multivariate logistic regression analysis, smoking (odds ratio [OR] = 3.64; 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.23-10.75), parallel screw configuration (OR = 5.70; 95 % CI = 1.62-20.06), and freeze dried iliac crest (OR = 9.16; 95 % CI = 2.28-36.79) were demonstrated as risk factors for nonunion of posttraumatic SA. CONCLUSION: Patients with a history of smoking, parallel screw configuration fixation, and those who received freeze dried iliac crest as an interpositional graft, had a significantly higher rate of nonunion.

PURPOSE: To confirm the radiologic and clinical outcomes after performing arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) using a tensor fascia lata (TFL) allograft. METHODS: Thirty-three patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears were treated with ASCR with a TFL allograft. The mean age and follow-up period were 62 years and 20.1 months, respectively. TFL allografts were used as 3, 4, and 6 layers, and the graft thickness was 3.7, 3.9, and 5.4 mm, respectively. Range of motion, visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, and Constant score were evaluated preoperatively and at the final follow-up. The pre-, postoperative, and final acromiohumeral distances (AHD) were compared. The graft integrity was checked through a follow-up magnetic resonance imaging at least 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: Torn grafts were identified in 6 cases (19%). AHD significantly increased from 5.0 to 8.0 mm postoperatively (P < .0001). However, there was no significant difference of 5.0 mm at the final follow-up AHD. Five cases (83%) of torn grafts were induced in the 3-layered graft sheet group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P = .067). Visual analog scale, forward elevation, internal rotation, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, and Constant scores significantly improved at the last follow-up. Two cases of early infection were confirmed and the graft materials were all removed. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the possibility of early infection, ASCR using TFL allograft is a reliable procedure for the irreparable rotator cuff tear. In particular, if the number of layers of TFL allograft increases, it is judged that it could become a more effective graft. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic case series.

This study aimed to identify the risk factors for non-traumatic rotator cuff tears in Korean adult patients who underwent surgical treatment, focusing on socioeconomic factors. A retrospective study was conducted with 659 patients who were diagnosed with a full rotator cuff tear and underwent surgical treatment. The outcome variable was the rotator cuff tear size (mm), as indicated by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Socioeconomic variables included occupation, education level, insurance type, and residential area. Univariate analyses were used to evaluate the relation between tear size and independent variables, and multivariate regression was used to estimate the effects of socioeconomic factors on tear size after adjusting for other variables. Significant differences were found in mean tear size according to age, occupation, residence area, and symptom duration (p < 0.05) in multivariate regression analysis. Rural residents had a 2.12 mm larger tear size than urban residents. Compared to National Health Insurance patients, the tear size of Medicaid beneficiaries was significantly larger (6.79 mm) in urban areas. The larger the rotator cuff tear, the greater the risk of retear and poor shoulder function. Therefore, policy efforts are required to expand access to medical care for the vulnerable.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare outcomes of treatment of isolated talonavicular arthrodesis (ITNA) with screw only or screw plus plate, respectively. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 40 consecutive cases of ITNA [two-screw fixation patients: Group 1 (23 cases); screw-plus-plate fixation patients: Group 2 (17 cases)]. Outcome measures included radiographic findings, Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores (FAOS), and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores. RESULTS: Nonunion occurred more frequently in group 1 (21.7%) than in group 2 (5.9%), but there was no statistical significance (p = 0.216). Although the preoperative FAOS and VAS score showed similar results between both groups, there were significantly better clinical outcomes in two of five FAOS domains and VAS scores at 3 months postoperative and final follow-up (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Although union rates were not significantly different, nonunion occurred more frequently in screw only group and we obtained more favorable clinical outcomes in screw plus plate group.

With the aging society, musculoskeletal degenerative diseases are becoming a burden on society, and rotator cuff disease is one of these degenerative diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of shoulder osteoarthritis and the etiologic factors of rotator cuff disease in the Korean elderly population. A total of 102 patients performing ultrasonography were recruited, and their demographic factors were analyzed. As functional factors, visual analog scale and the peak torque of external and internal rotators of the shoulder using an isokinetic dynamometer were measured. As an anatomical factor, the acromiohumeral distance in the plain radiograph of the glenohumeral anterior-posterior view was used. There were more female patients (65.7%) than male patients (34.3%). The age range with the highest number of respondents was 50-59 years old. The mean visual analogue score was 4.09 (Min 1 to Max 9). Age and dominant hand side factors appear to be the crucial etiologic factors of the presence and severity of rotator cuff disease. The lower net value of the external rotator strength is weakly related to the presence of rotator cuff disease after adjusting for age, and this is the only modifiable factor in the study.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical and radiologic predictors of postoperative recurrent septic arthritis of the shoulder (SAS) using multivariable analysis. METHODS: Forty-three patients (mean age, 65 years; 24 women) who underwent surgery for SAS between January 2011 and October 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. An orthopedic surgeon assessed clinical (age, sex, comorbidity, duration from symptom onset to MR imaging and surgery, surgical method, antibiotic usage), laboratory (serum white blood cell [WBC] count, C-reactive protein [CRP] level, synovial cell count), and surgical findings (culture/biopsy results). Two musculoskeletal radiologists evaluated MR imaging findings (bone marrow [reactive bone marrow edema, osteomyelitis, osteochondral erosion] and soft tissue [synovitis, bursitis, muscle edema, abscess] abnormalities). Recurrent SAS was evaluated at ≥ 12 months postoperatively. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to determine the best predictor of recurrent SAS. RESULTS: The overall recurrent SAS rate was 33% (14/43). On univariable analysis, mean age (without recurrence vs. recurrence: 68 vs. 59 years, p = .04), mean duration from symptom onset to surgery (18 vs. 25 days, p = .02), serum WBC count (12,000 vs. 9,000 cells/mL3, p = .04), CRP level (13 vs. 6 mg/L, p = .01), and osteomyelitis on MR imaging (p < .01 for both readers) significantly differed between patients with and without recurrence; on multivariable analysis, only osteomyelitis on MR imaging was significantly associated with recurrent SAS for both readers (p = .02 and .01 for each reader respectively). The inter-reader agreement was good (κ = .62-1.0) for all MR imaging findings, except for muscle edema (fair, κ = .37). CONCLUSION: Osteomyelitis on MR imaging was the best predictor of recurrent SAS. KEY POINTS: ⢠Osteomyelitis on preoperative MR imaging was the best predictor associated with recurrent septic arthritis of the shoulder on multivariable analysis including clinical, laboratory, and MR findings. ⢠In multivariable analyses focused on each bone marrow abnormality, with adjustment for clinical and laboratory parameters, the presence of reactive bone marrow edema and osteochondral erosion on MR imaging showed no significant association with recurrent septic arthritis of the shoulder.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the results of surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures using a locking plate in patients aged > 70 years. METHODS: Between September 2010 and March 2018, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiological outcomes of 56 patients aged > 70 years who underwent locking plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures. We analyzed bone union, neck-shaft angle, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score, range of motion (compared to that of the opposite side), and complications. Further, clinical and radiological results of unstable medial column fractures were investigated. RESULTS: Fifty-four patients (96.2%) achieved bone union. The mean time to bone union was 14.7 ± 1.2 weeks, and the mean neck-shaft angle was 126.4° ± 14.2°. The mean UCLA shoulder score was 22.4 ± 6.5. The mean forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation angles were 129.2° ± 19.4°, 112.3° ± 14.8°, and 44.2° ± 18.5°, respectively, with internal rotation to L2/3 (S-T11). The range of motion was significantly different from that in the opposite shoulder motion. Unstable medial column fractures led to a significant loss in the neck-shaft angle compared with fractures with an intact medial cortex. CONCLUSION: For the surgical treatment of proximal humeral fractures in patients aged > 70 years, using a locking plate helped achieve a high bone union rate with relatively satisfactory results. However, the prevalence of unstable medial column fracture was high. Clinical and radiological outcomes were poor in these patients. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately understand the fracture pattern prior to surgery, and various surgical methods, including conservative treatment, should be considered.

HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of osseous lesions and the recurrence rate after arthroscopic surgery in shoulder septic arthritis patients and evaluate the influencing factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 44 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for septic arthritis of the shoulder between January 2012 and September 2019. The average age of the patients was 65.57 ± 14.2 years, and 56.8% were female patients. The minimum follow-up period was 12 months (average, 32.8 ± 14.2 months; range, 12-72 months). We assessed variables including sex, age, underlying diseases, duration from symptom onset to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), duration from symptom onset to surgery, radiologic results (radiography and MRI), history of injection therapy, and postoperative infection. The incidence of osseous lesions and the recurrence rate were calculated according to independent variables. In addition, multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the risk factors for osseous lesions and recurrent infection after adjustment for other variables. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients had an osseous lesion on MRI, and 12 patients had evidence of bone erosion on radiographs. In univariate analyses, significant (P < .05) risk factors for the presence of osseous lesions were female sex, lower C-reactive protein level, and longer duration from symptom onset to MRI. The overall infection recurrence rate was 22.7% (10 of 44 patients). Culture results and the duration from symptom onset to surgery were significant risk factors for recurrent infection (P < .05). As the duration from symptom onset to MRI increased by 1 day, the probability of osseous lesions increased 1.31-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.08- to 1.59-fold; P = .007), and this probability was significantly higher after correction for other risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: To reduce the severity of septic shoulder infection, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. Even if osseous lesions are present, good results can be obtained if meticulous débridement is performed through arthroscopic surgery. However, functional and radiologic long-term follow-up studies are needed in patients with osseous lesions.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential of locking compression plate with intramedullary fibular allograft in managing proximal humeral fractures with an unstable medial column. METHODS: Between March 2007 and March 2015, we retrospectively analyzed 63 patients who underwent locking plate fixation for proximal humeral fracture with an unstable medial column. All patients were assigned into group 1 (patients treated with locking plate) and group 2 (patients treated with locking plate with intramedullary fibular allograft). Groups 1 and 2 were composed of 29 and 34 patients, respectively. We analyzed bone union, the neck-shaft angle, the Constant score, the range of motion, and complications. RESULTS: The mean average bone union time of the patients was 13.9 weeks in group 1 and 11.3 weeks in group 2. The average Constant score was 67.4 in group 1 and 73.6 in group 2 (p < 0.05). The mean preoperative NSA, postoperative NSA, and NSA at the last follow-up were 104.4°, 125.8°, and 115.8°, respectively, in group 1, and 109.0°, 130.3°, and 127.1°, respectively, in group 2. The mean forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation were 109.0°, 48.2°, 34.0°, and L5, respectively, in group 1, and 127.5°, 118.2°, 38.7°, and L1, respectively, in group 2. In group 1, avascular necrosis occurred in one patient and screw cutout in two patients. In group 2, screw cutout occurred in one patient. CONCLUSION: In patients aged over 65 years with proximal humeral fractures, an unstable medial column was associated with poor clinical results owing to varus collapse. To prevent this, an intramedullary fibular allograft was used, and radiologic and clinical results were better with this approach than with a locking plate alone. Therefore, locking plate fixation using a fibular allograft is one of the possible treatments for patients with an unstable medial column.

Patients with osteoporosis are asymptomatic and are at risk for fractures. Therefore, early detection and interventions are important. We found that a population with a low socioeconomic status living in rural areas was reported to have a high osteoporosis prevalence but a relatively low diagnosis rate. Research on the disparity of osteoporosis prevalence and treatment from the socioeconomic perspective was conducted. This study aimed to investigate the influence of residence area and basic livelihood conditions on osteoporosis prevalence and diagnosis in postmenopausal women aged over 50 years. The cross-sectional data of 1477 postmenopausal women aged over 50 years obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V-2 were analyzed. Univariate analyses were performed to calculate the prevalence and diagnosis rate according to risk factor categories. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influence of residence area and basic livelihood conditions after controlling for other factors. The osteoporosis prevalence in basic livelihood beneficiaries (53.7%) and rural area residents (41.9%) was higher than that in non-beneficiaries (33.1%) and urban area residents (31.8%). There was no significant difference in the diagnosis rates in relation to the basic livelihood conditions or residence areas. The adjusted odds ratio for the prevalence among the beneficiaries living in rural areas was 2.08 (95% confidence interval: 1.06-4.10). However, the odds ratio for diagnosis was not significantly different. Earlier screening examination policies for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with a low socioeconomic status living in rural areas are needed.

PURPOSE: We classified the articles published in the journal Hip & Pelvis and analyzed the relationship between study characteristics and citation rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All articles published in Hip & Pelvis from 2009 to 2019 were included. We classified the articles according to the type, language, listing in PubMed Central (PMC), treatment modality, material, design, anatomical focus, number of authors, and number of cases. We analyzed the citation rate according to this classification, with yearly citation rate reflecting the exposure period until March 2020. RESULTS: The yearly citation rate increased significantly after the language of the journal was changed from Korean to English in June 2014 (mean=0.96 vs. 1.63, P<0.05), and again after the journal was listed in PMC in March 2016 (mean=1.05 vs. 1.92, P<0.05). The yearly citation rates of review articles was highest, followed by those of editorials, original articles, and case reports (in this order). Among original articles, trauma-related articles had higher yearly citation rates than non-trauma-related articles (mean=1.00 vs. 0.68, P=0.034). Among clinical articles, studies focusing on the pelvis had higher yearly citation rates than studies on the hip or femur (mean=1.85 vs. 0.71 vs. 0.91, P=0.003). CONCLUSION: The yearly citation rate of articles increased significantly after the language of Hip & Pelvis was changed to English and after the journal was listed in PMC. The mean yearly citation rate of articles focusing on the pelvis was significantly higher than that of articles focusing on the hip or femur.
RÉSUMÉ
Osteoporosis is the most common disease of the musculoskeletal system in old age. Therefore, research on osteoporosis risk factors is actively being conducted. However, whether socioeconomic inequality is associated with the prevalence and diagnosis experience of osteoporosis remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate whether socioeconomic inequality can be a risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Cross-sectional data of 1,477 postmenopausal women aged over 50 obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V-2 were analyzed. Univariate analyses were performed to calculate the prevalence of osteoporosis and the rate of osteoporosis diagnosis experience according to the risk factor categories. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent variables' associations with osteoporosis prevalence and diagnosis experience. The prevalence of osteoporosis was 34.8%, while the diagnosis experience rate was 22.1%. The higher the age, the higher the probability of osteoporosis presence and diagnosis experience. The lowest household income level was associated with a 1.63 times higher risk of osteoporosis. On the contrary, this factor was not significant for diagnosis experience. These results were similar for the 50-59 and 60-69 age groups. Among postmenopausal women, those who are older and have low socioeconomic levels are at a high risk of developing osteoporosis. Moreover, the lower the socioeconomic level, the lower the awareness of osteoporosis. Therefore, there is a need to develop more proactive preventive measures in postmenopausal women with low socioeconomic levels.

BACKGROUND: Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) is an alternative surgical option for young active patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears without arthritis. Although cadaveric studies have shown superior stability of the humerus, it remains unclear whether the humerus migrates superiorly after SCR in vivo. PURPOSE: To analyze the change in glenohumeral translation in patients before and after SCR. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: A total of 22 patients who underwent SCR by a single surgeon for irreparable rotator cuff tears were included. Among them, 14 patients had intact grafts, and 8 patients were diagnosed with retears on 1-year postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Fluoroscopy was performed in all patients preoperatively and at 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year follow-up. Moreover, 3-dimensional bone models from computed tomography, MRI, and fluoroscopic scans during scapular plane abduction of the shoulder joints were analyzed. RESULTS: In the intact graft group, 3-dimensional dynamic shoulder kinematics at 6 months (P = .026) and 1 year (P = .032) postoperatively showed statistically significant decreases in humeral head superior translation compared with preoperatively. The ≥6-mm acromiohumeral distance (AHD) subgroup had a larger decrease in humeral head superior translation from preoperatively than did the <6-mm AHD subgroup (6 months: P = .026; 1 year: P = .032). The retear group had significantly greater humeral head superior translation at 1 year postoperatively than did the ≥6-mm and <6-mm AHD subgroups (post hoc test: P < .001; ≥6-mm AHD vs retear group: P = .001; <6-mm AHD vs retear group: P = .012). CONCLUSION: SCR with intact grafts resulted in decreased humeral head superior translation after 6 months. Patients with retears showed no improvement in humeral head superior translation. Patients with a preoperative AHD <6 mm had less improvement in humeral head superior translation than did those with a preoperative AHD ≥6 mm. Early surgical treatment before an excessive decrease in preoperative AHD could be helpful for postoperative humeral head translation recovery.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Although highly positive results for wear reduction of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) have been reported around the 10-year follow-up, the long-term result related to reoperation and wear-related survival is still an issue. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the follow-up results of a single manufacture's polyethylene liner for >15 years in terms of survival and wear rate. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 134 primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) who were followed up for at least 15 years. The mean age at the time of surgery was 50.7 years (conventional polyethylene [CPE] group = 22; HXLPE group = 112). Linear and volumetric wear rates of polyethylene were measured, and the reoperation rate and radiographic osteolysis were evaluated and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed in both groups. Implant-related complications were also examined. RESULTS: HXLPE group showed a significantly lower wear rate in both linear and volumetric wear. None of the hip radiographs showed evidence of loosening or osteolysis in the HXLPE group. The survival rates at 15- to 18-year follow-up were 90.9% and 95.5% in the CPE and HXLPE groups when all-cause reoperation was the endpoint, and 90.9% and 100.0% when the wear-related reoperation was the endpoint, respectively. Implant-related complications were not different between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: Wear reduction and osteolysis showed a great advantage in HXLPE after a 15-year follow-up. Although the CPE and HXLPE showed excellent survival, wear and osteolysis were more frequent in the CPE; therefore, the high risk of reoperation in the future should be considered.
