RESUMO
Generation of polyethylene wear debris and periprosthetic bone resorption have been identified as potential causes of acetabular component loosening in Total Hip Arthroplasty. This study was aimed at optimization of a functionally graded porous acetabular component to minimize periprosthetic bone resorption and polyethylene liner wear. Porosity levels (porosity values at acetabular rim, and dome) and functional gradation exponents (radial and polar) were considered as the design parameters. The relationship between porosity and elastic properties were obtained from numerical homogenization. The multi-objective optimization was carried out using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm integrated with finite element analysis of the hemipelvises subject to various loading conditions of common daily activities. The optimal functionally graded porous designs (OFGPs -1, -2, -3, -4, -5) exhibited less strain-shielding in cancellous bone compared to solid metal-backing. Maximum bone-implant interfacial micromotions (63-68 µm) for OFGPs were found to be close to that of solid metal-backing (66 µm), which might facilitate bone ingrowth. However, OFGPs exhibited an increase in volumetric wear (3-10 %) compared to solid metal-backing. The objective functions were found to be more sensitive to changes in polar gradation exponent than radial gradation exponent, based on the Sobol' method. Considering the common failure mechanisms, OFGP-1, having highly porous acetabular rim and less porous dome, appears to be a better alternative to the solid metal-backing.

BACKGROUND: Glenoid reconstruction with a bone block for anterior glenoid bone loss (GBL) has shown excellent outcomes. However, fixation techniques that require metal implants are associated with metal-related complications and bone graft resorption. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using a tricortical iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation can safely and effectively restore the glenoid surface area in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Adult patients (≥18 years) of both sexes with recurrent anterior shoulder instability and anterior GBL ≥15% were enrolled. These patients underwent arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction with ICBGs and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation. The effectiveness and clinical outcomes with this technique were evaluated at 24 months using functional scores. Resorption of the graft articular surface was assessed by computed tomography, with the graft surface divided into 6 square areas aligned in 2 columns. Descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS: A total of 23 consecutive patients met inclusion criteria (22 male, 1 female; mean age, 30.5 ± 7.9 years). The mean preoperative GBL was 19.7% ± 3.4%, and there were 15 allograft and 8 autograft ICBGs. All patients exhibited graft union at 3 months. The median follow-up was 38.5 months (interquartile range, 24-45 months). The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Rowe, Constant-Murley, and Subjective Shoulder Value scores improved from preoperatively (35.1%, 24.8, 83.1, and 30.9, respectively) to postoperatively (84.7%, 91.1, 96.0, and 90.9, respectively) (P < .001). No differences in clinical scores were observed between the graft types. One surgical wound infection was reported, and 2 patients (8.7% [95% CI, 2.4%-26.8%]) required a reoperation. The mean overall glenoid surface area increased from 80.3% ± 3.5% to 117.0% ± 8.3% immediately after surgery before subsequently reducing to 98.7% ± 6.2% and 95.0% ± 5.7% at 12 and 24 months, respectively (P < .001). The mean graft resorption rate was 18.1% ± 7.9% in the inner column and 80.3% ± 22.4% in the outer column. Additionally, 3 patients treated with an allograft (20.0% [95% CI, 7.1%-45.2%]), including the 2 with clinical failures, exhibited complete graft resorption at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic glenoid reconstruction using an ICBG and metal-free suture tape cerclage fixation was safe and effective, yielding excellent clinical outcomes. Resorption of the graft articular surface predominantly affected the nonloaded areas beyond the best-fit circle perimeter.

Acetabular bone loss continues to be one of the most complex and challenging scenarios facing the orthopaedic surgeon. Preoperative planning and classification systems essentially have remained the same, with the Paprosky classification still being the most commonly used. Careful radiological assessment with well-defined criteria can accurately diagnose acetabular bone loss patterns with an associated chronic pelvic discontinuity before surgery. The use of cemented reconstruction techniques has declined, and contemporary practice trends have involved the increasing use of highly porous hemispherical shells in conjunction with modular porous metal augments, which can successfully treat most acetabular revisions. Noncemented treatment options for the management of acetabular bone loss during revision include conventional porous/modular highly porous hemispherical implants, nonmodular highly porous implants with cementable acetabular liners, cup-cage reconstruction, oblong cups, and triflange reconstruction. These options can be combined with modular porous metal augments, structural allografts, impaction grafting, or reconstruction cages. Acetabular distraction is a newer technique for chronic pelvic discontinuity, which is used in conjunction with off-the-shelf revision acetabular shells and modular porous metal augments. This review is an update over the past decade, highlighting studies with mid to long-term follow-up, and presents the advantages, disadvantages, and principles associated with each of the most commonly used reconstructive techniques.

PURPOSE: This study aims to determine the stress shielding and other radiological outcomes of patients who underwent an uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with an anatomic proximal coated stem for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF) with 3 or 4 parts at 2 years postoperatively. METHODS: 37 shoulders underwent an uncemented RSA for PHF from November 2015 to February 2019 and were followed up for 2 years. A radiographic assessment of stress shielding, filling ratio, stem stability (radiolucent lines/subsidence/alignment), tuberosity healing and notch was performed. RESULTS: The mean age at the time of surgery was 72 years (range, 61-85). Stress shielding was appreciated in 31 shoulders (83.8%). The most important characteristic of stress shielding is cortical resorption: Grade 3 resorption occurred in 3 shoulders (8.1%) and grade 4 in 23 (62.2%) as per the grading system defined by Inoue et al. (Inoue et al. in J Shoulder Elbow Surg 26:1984-1989, 2017). A high occurrence of bone resorption was observed in Gruen zones 2 (Lateral Stress shielding) and 7 (Medial Stress shielding). The mean distal filling ratio in patients without stress shielding was 78,48(SD 14,9), whereas in patients with stress shielding, it was slightly higher with a mean of 81,68% (SD 4,89). Tuberosity healing was found in 94.6% (35/37) of the shoulders. No patient had any radiolucent line. No notch was observed. CONCLUSION: At short-term follow-up, a high rate of tuberosity healing was achieved (94.6%) even though stress shielding was found in 83.8% (31/37) of the shoulders. Bone resorption was most frequently observed externally at zone 2 (Lateral stress shielding) and internally at zone 7 (Medial stress shielding). A higher filling ratio was associated with an increased occurrence of stress shielding. The uncemented anatomic humeral component did not result in early loosening. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV; Case Series; Treatment study.

OBJECTIVE: To radiographically evaluate the effect of intact periosteum in guided bone regeneration (GBR) for the treatment of peri-implant ridge defects in posterior region. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients who satisfied the criteria were included in this study. Buccal dehiscence defects were regenerated using demineralised bovine bone mineral (DBBM). Subjects were divided into two groups: the control group (conventional GBR, buccal trapezoidal flap and DBBM with collagen membrane coverage, n = 14) and the test group (modified GBR, buccal pouch and DBBM with collagen membrane coverage, n = 14). CBCT images obtained immediately after and 3 to 7 months following GBR were used to assess buccal bone thickness (BBT) at a level of 0, 2, 4 and 6 mm below the implant platform. RESULTS: Immediately after surgery, BBT at 0 mm and 2 mm below the implant platform presented a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05) with significantly thicker buccal bone in the control group in terms of BBT-0 (3.83 ± 1.01 mm) and BBT-2 (4.88 ± 1.15 mm) than in the test group (2.33 ± 0.66 mm and 3.60 ± 1.10 mm, P = 0.000 and P = 0.008, respectively). After 3 to 7 months of healing, the BBT at all levels showed no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05), but more bone graft resorption (BBR) in the control group in terms of BBR-0 (2.45 ± 1.14 mm), BBR-2 (2.09 ± 0.94 mm) and BBR-0% (65.37% ± 26.62%) than the test group (BBR-0 1.07 ± 0.51 mm, P = 0.001; BBR-2, 1.22 ± 0.63 mm, P = 0.008; BBR-0% 45.70% ± 15.52%, P = 0.024). CONCLUSION: In the short term, all treatment modalities achieved similar coronal BBT and the intact periosteum had a positive effect on keeping ridge dimensions even.

Anterior shoulder instability surgery has evolved over the decades, including both anatomic and nonanatomic repairs and reconstructions. Surgeons are continually advancing their skills and performing more of these procedures using arthroscopic as opposed to open techniques in patients with and without glenoid bone loss. However, there is a steep learning curve and increased technical demands when performing these procedures arthroscopically. Despite high success rates, bone graft resorption or lack of healing after Latarjet and Bristow procedures is well documented, and it is possible that patients develop enough scarring that their shoulders remain stable. Osteoarthritis after these nonanatomic procedures can occur making shoulder arthroplasty and reconstruction technically more challenging because of scarring and the altered anatomy. It remains to be seen whether these arthroscopic techniques as opposed to open surgery lessen the scarring and thus the technical demands of shoulder reconstruction in the small subset of patients who unfortunately develop symptomatic shoulder osteoarthritis. Therefore, in my practice, these techniques are carefully chosen for select patients. My indications for use of the Bristow procedure as a primary procedure for anterior shoulder instability are in patients who perform mixed martial arts fighting and high-level wrestlers without significant glenoid or humeral bone loss. My indications for the Latarjet procedure are in patients with chronic anterior instability and associated anterior glenoid bone loss 15% to 30%, off-track Hill-Sachs lesions, and revision surgery, particularly in high-demand contact and collision athletes. These 2 arthroscopic procedures, despite being nonanatomic, provide surgeons with excellent treatment options for those difficult patients with anterior shoulder instability. Despite high success rates with these arthroscopic procedures, patients should be counseled on the risks of graft resorption, graft nonunion, and possible shoulder osteoarthritis. The appropriate indications for these arthroscopic procedures can enhance the successful outcomes for high-risk patients with shoulder instability while also considering the possible long-term impacts of altering shoulder anatomy and scarring in the rare patient who develops shoulder osteoarthritis.

BACKGROUND: New total knee prostheses are being designed to improve clinical outcome, survivorship and patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A new knee system was developed with improvements in patellofemoral joint, trochlear geometry, polyethylene formulation and tibial baseplate. Aim of this study was to compare the newer kinematic knee system with its existing predecessor knee system in terms of clinical outcome, revision rates, radiographic outcomes specifically medial tibial bone resorption. METHODS: The prospective matched-pair study included 88 TKA surgeries using newer kinematic design knee prostheses, performed between January 2015 and December 2016, out of which 82 patients were available for final follow-up. The control cohort of 82 traditional TKA prosthesis was matched in terms of age, gender and body mass index. All surgeries were performed by the single surgeon using medial parapatellar arthrotomy and posterior stabilized implants were used. Clinical outcomes were assessed using knee society score, range of motion (ROM), anterior knee pain and crepitation. Radiological examinations included recording of radiolucent lines and medial tibial bone resorption. RESULTS: At the 5-year follow-up, no significant differences were noted in terms of mean knee society score (93.3 ± 6.6 vs 94.2 ± 8.1), knee function score (88.5 ± 10.5 vs 89.1 ± 11.2) and ROM. The incidences of anterior knee pain and crepitation were lower in the newer group (8.5% vs 21.9% and 14.6% vs 32.9%, respectively) compared to the traditional prosthesis group. No cases of aseptic loosening were observed in either cohort. No significant difference was seen in terms of radiolucent lines (29.3% vs 26.8%) and medial tibial resorption (2.43% in each group) incidences. CONCLUSIONS: At the 5 years follow-up no significant differences were noted between the two groups in terms of clinical and radiological outcomes, except the former proved to be better for anterior knee pain and crepitation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.

OBJECTIVES: Bone resorption of more conventional vascularized bone grafts have been well described showing minimal resorption over time. Few studies have evaluated osseous union and bone resorption in scapula tip free flaps (STFF) in the reconstruction of mandibulectomy defects. We aimed to describe our series on STFF with respect to osseous union and bone resorption over time. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients receiving STFF from January 2014-January 2017 (n = 25). A neuroradiologist analyzed follow-up CT scans to assess (1) STFF complete, partial, or no osseous union with native mandible and (2) STFF volume change over time in a subset with multiple follow-up scans (n = 18). RESULTS: Twenty-three of 25 patients (92%) showed complete or partial STFF osseous union with native mandible either distally or proximally. STFF volume change ranged from +4.8 to -54% (median -0.5%) over median follow-up interval of 23 months. History of chemoradiation therapy, bisphophonate use, sex, age, or smoking history did not correlate with bone resorption. CONCLUSIONS: STFFs shows high rates of osseous union and limited bone resorption that is equivalent to, or less than, vascularized fibular and iliac crest flaps. Clinically, this translates into both optimal healing and functional and cosmetic outcomes, especially in the setting of prior therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 Laryngoscope, 133:2597-2602, 2023.

Midfoot and subtalar arthrodesis surgeries are performed to correct foot deformities and relieve arthritic pain. These procedures often employ intramedullary (IM) devices. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biomechanical performance of a sustained dynamic compression (SDC) IM device compared to mechanically static devices in withstanding the effects of simulated bone resorption. Mechanically static and SDC IM devices were implanted in simulated bone blocks (n = 5/device). Compressive loads were measured with a custom-made mechanism to simulate bone resorption. The construct bending stiffness was determined from a 4-point bend test. Resorption was simulated by cutting a 1 mm or 2 mm gap in the midpoint of each construct and repeating the loading (n = 6/device). Initial compressive loads after device insertion were greater in the SDC IM devices when compared to the static devices (p < .01). The SDC device was able to sustain compression from 2 mm to 5.5 mm of simulated resorption depending upon device length, while the static devices lost compression within 1 mm of simulated resorption regardless of implant length (p < .001). In the 4-point bend test, the SDC device maintained its bending stiffness during simulated resorption whereas the static device displayed a significant loss in bending stiffness after 1 mm of simulated resorption (p < .001). The SDC device exhibited a significantly higher bending stiffness than the static device (p < .001). The SDC IM device demonstrated superior biomechanical performance during simulated resorption compared to static devices (p < .001). In conclusion, the ability of SDC IM devices to maintain construct stability and sustain compression across the fusion site while adapting to bone resorption may lead to greater fusion rates and overall quicker times to fusion than static IM devices. Surgeons who perform midfoot and subtalar arthrodesis procedures should be aware of a device's ability to sustain compression, especially in cases where bone resorption and joint settling are prevalent postoperatively.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of concentrated growth factor (CGF) membrane for the sealing of alveolar socket in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP). A total of 22 patients with 24 alveolar sockets were recruited and divided randomly into CGF group and Bio-Gide collagen membrane group. The soft tissue wound healing rate was calculated using intraoral scanner at 3, 7, and 14 days after ARP, and the bone resorption volume at 1, 3, and 5 mm below the alveolar ridge was measured by CBCT at 6 months postoperation. The keratinized gingival width was also measured before and 6 months after ridge preservation. In terms of soft tissue healing rate, the CGF group exhibited significant higher than that of Bio-Gide group at both 7 and 14 days after surgery (P < 0.05). However, there was no significantly different in bone resorption rate and the width of keratinized gingival after 6 months (P > 0.05). Therefore, the use of CGFs membranes for wound closure in ARP is a reliable method, but more clinical data are needed to prove it.

El uso de diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas para lograr la resolución de los casos con atrofia más complejos es de vital importancia. Cada vez tenemos en la consulta casos con edentulismos de mayor duración que demandan tratamiento implantológico con prótesis fija, lo que supone un reto a la hora de planificar y llevar a cabo los tratamientos. Para ello, podemos utilizar diferentes técnicas que nos permitan ganar anchura y altura, así como implantes de distintas longitudes y diámetros que nos permitan adaptarnos a cada situación. En el presente caso clínico mostramos una rehabilitación que combina diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas para lograr el resultado buscado (AU)
The use of different surgical techniques to achieve the resolution of the most complex cases with atrophy is of vital importance. We have more and more cases with edentulism of longer duration that require implant treatment with fixed prosthesis, which is a challenge when it comes to planning and carrying out the treatments. For this, we can use different techniques that allow us to gain width and height as well as implants of different lengths and diameters that allow us to adapt to each situation. In this clinical case we show a rehabilitation that combines different surgical techniques to achieve the desired result (AU)

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to introduce and evaluate a modified one-and-a-half-barrel fibular technique guided by occlusion for functionally reconstructing mandibular defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen patients underwent mandibular reconstruction with the modified one-and-a-half-barrel technique and simultaneous insertion of dental implants. A vascularized fibular segment was used to reconstruct the alveolar ridge of the neomandible with dental implants loaded simultaneously. The inferior border was reconstructed with a nonvascularized segment. Panoramic radiographs were taken 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months after the surgery to measure the vertical height of the fibular segment, calculate the bone resorption rate at different time points, and observe the implant marginal bone loss and crown-to-implant ratio. The OHIP-14 questionnaire was employed to evaluate the perceived outcomes of oral rehabilitation. RESULTS: The vertical height of the vascularized and nonvascularized fibular segments 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months after the surgery was 14.51 ± 1.93, 14.19 ± 1.88, and 13.81 ± 1.78 mm; and 8.65 ± 0.98, 7.72 ± 0.94, and 7.25 ± 0.93 mm, respectively. The bone resorption rate of vascularized and nonvascularized fibular segments was 2.20% ± 1.04% and 10.69% ± 5.73%, respectively, in the first 6 months, and 2.67% ± 1.44% and 6.16% ± 2.75%, respectively, in the latter 6 months, showing a significantly higher resorption rate in the nonvascularized segment (P < .05). The implant marginal bone loss after functional loading was significantly greater than that before dental rehabilitation (P = .001). The OHIP-14 total scores were 20.07 ± 10.24, 19.00 ± 7.82, and 3.93 ± 1.87 before surgery, at 6 months, and at 12 months after surgery, respectively (P = .000). CONCLUSION: The proposed technique not only guarantees the esthetic appearance of patients but also achieves a suitable vertical height to facilitate the placement of the implant at the same time.

PURPOSE: Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a common procedure used for the treatment of intracranial hypertension. Once brain swelling has subsided, a cranioplasty is performed to restore cosmesis and protection to the brain. While using the patient's autologous bone flap is often the first choice in cranioplasty, this procedure is frequently complicated by bone flap resorption and infection. This study seeks to identify predictors of autologous cranioplasty failure. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy and autologous cranioplasty. Patient demographics and factors related to both surgeries and failure rates were recorded from patient records. Logistic regressions were conducted to determine which factors were implicated in autologous cranioplasty failure. RESULTS: In our cohort, 127 patients underwent autologous cranioplasty. Overall, 18 (14.2%) patients experienced autologous cranioplasty failure. Regression analysis identified development of post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) following DC (OR: 3.26, p = 0.043), presence of neurological deficits following DC (OR: 4.88, p = 0.025), and reoperation prior to CP (OR 3.0, p = 0.049) as significant predictors of autologous cranioplasty failure. Of the 16 patients who developed PTH following DC, 9 received a VP shunt. The rate of flap failure was similar across the 9 PTH patients who received a shunt and the 7 PTH patients who did not receive a shunt (33% vs. 57% failure rate, respectively, p = 0.341). CONCLUSION: Autologous cranioplasty is a reasonably successful procedure with a flap failure rate of 14.2%. We identified PTH, persistent neurological deficits, and reoperation prior to cranioplasty as significant predictors of autologous cranioplasty failure. Interestingly, the presence of VP shunt did not impact the odds of flap failure.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Loss of bone stock is the main problem in revision hip arthroplasty. Porous tantalum cups and augment constructs are possible solutions. The aim of this study was to describe results at an average follow-up of 10 years using these cups. METHODS: 25 patients underwent to revision hip arthroplasty with porous tantalum cups. Acetabular bone defects were classified according to Paprosky's in type II and III. All patients were reviewed clinically and radiographically at an average follow-up of 10 years (range 8.5 to 13 years). Changes in inclination angle of the cup and position of the hip centre of rotation (COR - measured and calculated using Pierchon's method), and possible periacetabular radiolucency lines were assessed. RESULTS: A statistically significant improvement in Harris Hip Score and hip range of motion was observed. The hip COR had been lowered by 19.33 mm after revision and no changes in COR position had been measured at follow-up. Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 100% at an average follow-up of 10 years, considering acetabular revision for any reasons as primary endpoint. 88% of patients was satisfied. Complications were 3 dislocations, 4 asymptomatic heterotopic ossifications and 1 partial reabsorption of greater trochanter. CONCLUSIONS: Porous tantalum cups and augments can be considered a valid solution in acetabular revisions for addressing massive bone defects and restoring the hip COR.

OBJECTIVE: Autologous cranioplasty (CP) following decompressive craniectomy (DC) carries a risk of bone flap resorption (BFR). The current literature offers limited information regarding the natural progression of BFR and the rate at which it occurs. We aim to characterize the progression of BFR over time and elucidate risk factors for accelerated BFR. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent DC and autologous CP. Serial computed tomography (CT) images were used to quantify the degree of BFR over time. Risk factors included age, diabetes, smoking status, flap fragmentation, defect size, and DC-CP time interval. χ2 analyses and Student's t-tests were performed to examine differences between patients who experienced BFR and those who did not. RESULTS: Overall, 82% of patients demonstrated evidence of clinically relevant resorption on CT. On average, the bone flap decreased in volume by 36.7% within the first year, with a linear loss in volume after multiple years of follow-up. Individuals who developed greater BFR were significantly younger (43 ± 17 vs. 56 ± 12, P = 0.022), had a lower incidence of diabetes (5.9% vs. 43%, P = 0.037), and had more bone flap fragments (1.4 ± 0.67 vs. 1.00 ± 0, P < 0.001) than those who did not. CONCLUSIONS: Resorption following CP with cryopreserved bone appears to progress in a fairly linear and continuous fashion over time. Using serial CT images, we found a resorption rate of 82% at our institution. We identified several possible risk factors for resorption, including flap fragmentation, younger age, and absence of diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Bony Bankart lesions can perpetuate chronic anterior glenohumeral instability. When surgical treatment is pursued, several factors need to be considered to obtain optimal outcomes. PURPOSE: To (1) quantitatively describe patterns of bone fragment resorption and associated risk factors for developing glenoid bone loss (GBL) and (2) to compare clinical and radiological results of attritional bone loss treated with either the arthroscopic Bankart or the open Latarjet procedure. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted for patients who underwent arthroscopic stabilization (group A1, 10%-20% GBL; group A2, >20% GBL) or open Latarjet (group B, >10% GBL) for recurrent shoulder instability with bony Bankart lesion. Patient characteristics, number of dislocations, and Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) scores were obtained. Pre- and postoperative computed tomography imaging was used to quantitatively describe patterns of bone fragment resorption. RESULTS: A total of 120 consecutive patients (group A1, 40; group A2, 23; group B, 57) were included in the study, with a mean age of 25.6 years (range, 19-35 years). The average follow-up was 5.0 years for all groups (range, 4.83-5.16 years in group A1, 4.58-5.41 years in group A2, and 4.33-5.67 years in group B). The mean times between dislocation event and surgery were 12.8 months (range, 6-32 months) and 13.6 months (range, 6-38 months) for groups A and B, respectively. Redislocation rates were 7.5% in group A1 versus 13.0% in group A2, and only occurred in patients with ≥13.5% GBL. There were no redislocations for group B (0%). Patients had better WOSI scores in group B (234.1 ± 126.9) than in group A (576.1 ± 224.6) (P < .0001). In group A, smaller preoperative bone fragment size displayed a higher percentage of resorption after surgery (r = -0.64; P < .05). CONCLUSION: A significant inverse relationship exists between preoperative bone fragment size and percentage of postoperative resorption. Patients treated with arthroscopic bony Bankart repair who had final GBL ≥13.5% had worse outcomes. When planned GBL approaches 13.5% in high-demand patients, a smaller fragment size can result in worse clinical outcomes because of resorption. In these cases, choosing the open Latarjet procedure leads to better clinical results.

Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is effective in controlling increasing intracranial pressure determined by a wide range of conditions, mainly traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke, and the subsequent cranioplasty (CP) displays potential therapeutic benefit in terms of overall neurological function. While autologous bone flap (ABF) harvested at the time of DC is the ideal material for skull defect reconstruction, it carries several risks. Aseptic bone flap resorption (BFR) is one of the most common complications, often leading to surgical failure. The aim of our study was to systematically review the literature and carry out a meta-analysis of possible factors involved in BFR in patients undergoing ABF cranioplasty after DC. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Different medical databases (PubMed, Embase, and Scopus) were screened for eligible scientific reports until April 30th 2021. The following data were collected for meta-analysis to assess their role in BFR: sex, age, the interval time between DC and CP, the presence of systemic factors, the etiology determining the DC, CP surgical time, CP features, VP shunt placement, CP infection. Studies including pediatric patients or with less than 50 patients were excluded. Fifteen studies were included. There was a statistically significant increased incidence of BFR in patients with CPF > 2 compared to patients with CPF ≤ 2 (54.50% and 22.76% respectively, p = 0.010). TBI was a significantly more frequent etiology in the BFR group compared to patients without BFR (61.95% and 47.58% respectively, p < 0.001). Finally, patients with BFR were significantly younger than patients without BFR (39.12 ± 15.36 years and 47.31 ± 14.78 years, respectively, p < 0.001). The funnel plots were largely symmetrical for all the studied factors. Bone flap fragmentation, TBI etiology, and young age significantly increase the risk of bone resorption. Further studies are needed to strengthen our results and to clarify if, in those cases, a synthetic implant for primary CP should be recommended.

Recent literature has implicated a thick cobalt chromium baseplate as a potential source of stress shielding and medial tibial bone resorption after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in a Western population. The purpose was to calculate the incidence of various types and severity of medial tibial bone resorption utilizing a novel classification system after TKA with a thick cobalt chromium baseplate in Asian patients. Five hundred TKAs using Attune prostheses with mean follow-up of 3.4 years were evaluated, using the prospective radiographic data. The mean age was 71.3 years. The preoperative mechanical axis was varus, 11.2 degrees. The type and severity of medial tibial bone resorption were categorized as type U (resorption under the tibial baseplate up to 50% [U1] or beyond 50% [U2] of medial tibial tray width), C (resorption around the penetrated cement under the baseplate), and M (resorption on the medial tibial cortex without extension to the baseplate). Bone resorption of medial proximal tibia was observed in 96 knees (19.2%). Types U1 and U2 were seen in 46 and 28 knees, respectively. Type C was observed in 12 knees and type M in 10 knees. The type U resorption group had significantly more preoperative varus deformity (varus 12.9 vs. 10.9 degrees, p = 0.017). Medial tibial bone resorption after TKAs using a thick cobalt chromium baseplate is not uncommon and has various locations, types, and severities. The medial tibial bone resorption might be related to various causes, including stress shielding, thermal necrosis from cement in the bony hole, and bony devascularization. The type-U resorption has to be closely observed in patients with preoperative severe varus deformity. This is a Level IV study.

BACKGROUND: Revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) poses considerable surgical challenges. We hypothesized that a newly developed press-fit stem, which is modeled on the medullary canal of the supracondylar region of the distal humerus by a slight distal bend, achieve both correct fit and sufficient primary stability and that additional distal fixation by interlocking screws is favorable in case of advanced humeral bone loss. METHODS: A modular tapered press-fit stem was implanted in 16 Sawbone humeri in three consecutively created defect situations (200 mm (experimental group type 3°), 160 mm (type 4°) and 120 mm (type 5°) bone length above the epicondylar line. In experimental groups type 4° and 5°, additional distal interlocking screw fixation with one to three screws was tested. Primary stability was investigated by measuring micromotions with a high-precision rotational setup. FINDINGS: Highest relative micromotions were noted at the proximal end in experimental groups type 3° and type 4°, whereas in type 5° highest micromotions could be seen at the distal end. Overall micromotions were significantly lower in type 3° and increased with extended defect size. In experimental group type 5°, micromotions increased with reduced additional distal screw fixation. INTERPRETATION: The examined press-fit stem did not provide sufficient primary rotational stability in all constructs without additional support. Advanced distal humeral bone loss had a strong impact on primary fixation. In experimental group type 5° with 120 mm bone remaining, it might be beneficial to use three distal interlocking screws in the supracondylar region in order to neutralize torque and to avoid early loosening.

Prosthetic joint infections provide a complex challenge for management, owing to their often difficult diagnoses, need for multiple surgeries, and increased technical and financial requirements. The '2 in 1' single-stage approaches have been recently advocated in the field of arthroplasty on account of their reduction in risks, costs, and complications. The aim of our study was to investigate the outcomes of this variant of single-stage revision, which is used in the setting of infection following primary total knee replacement (TKR) and associated bone loss. Prospective data were collected from all patients presenting with an infection following primary TKR over an 8-year period (2009-2017). We examined revision procedures that were undertaken as a single-stage procedure and had bone loss present. Patients were followed-up for evidence of recurrent infection. Functional assessments were conducted using range of motion, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), American Knee Society Score (AKSS), and Short Form-12 (SF-12) survey. Twenty-six patients were included in the analysis, two of whom had previously failed 2 stage revision; another three among them had failed debridement, antibiotics, irrigation, and implant retention procedures. The mean age was 72.5 years, mean body mass index was 33.4, and median American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification was 2. The mean time to revision was 3.5 years (3 months to 12 years). Six patients had actively been discharging sinuses at the time of surgery. Only 4/26 patients possessed no positive microbiological cultures from deep tissue samples or joint aspirates. One patient was afflicted with a recurrence of infection. This patient did not require further surgery and was successfully treated with the help of long-term antibiotic suppression. There were statistically significant improvements in both the pain component of AKSS scores (preoperative 4.3 to postoperative 32.4) and the functional component of AKSS scores (preoperative 10.7 to postoperative 15.7). There was no significant improvement in flexion; however, mean extension (increased from 18.5 to 6.9 postoperative) and total range of motion (increased from 69.2 preoperative to 90.3 postoperative) both showed statistically significant improvements. The use of "2-in-1" single-stage revision can be considered as an effective option for treating infection following TKR and associated bone loss.
