RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The radiographic appearance of the acetabulum differs between the supine and standing positions in patients with hip conditions. The pelvis undergoes a change in tilt when transitioning between positions, resulting in variations in version and acetabular coverage. However, the extent of these variations in well-functioning volunteers without compensatory patterns caused by pain is unknown. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We performed this study to (1) quantify differences in radiographic acetabular measurements when transitioning between supine and standing among asymptomatic, well-functioning volunteers; (2) assess differences in pelvic tilt between positions; and (3) test whether individual anatomic parameters are associated with the change in tilt. METHODS: This was a prospective, single-center study performed at an academic referral center. One hundred volunteers (students, staff, and patients with upper limb injuries) with well-functioning hips (Oxford hip score ≥ 45) were invited to participate. A total of 45% (45) of them were female, their mean age was 37 ± 14 years, and their mean BMI was 25 ± 2 kg/m 2 . Supine and standing AP pelvic radiographs were analyzed to determine numerous acetabular parameters including the lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), acetabular index (AI), anterior wall index (AWI), posterior wall index (PWI), crossover sign (COS), crossover ratio (COR), posterior wall sign (PWS), ischial spine sign (ISS), and femoroepiphyseal acetabular roof index (FEAR), as well as pelvic parameters including the sacrofemoral-pubic angle (SFP). Spinopelvic parameters were measured from lateral standing spinopelvic radiographs. Radiographic measurements were performed by one hip preservation research fellow and a fellowship-trained staff surgeon. Differences in parameters were determined, and correlations between postural differences and morphological parameters were tested. Clinically important differences were defined as a difference greater than 3° for acetabular angle measurements and 0.03 for acetabular ratio measurements, based on previous studies. RESULTS: Lateral coverage angles did not show a clinically important difference between positions. AWI decreased when standing (0.47 ± 0.13 versus 0.41 ± 0.14; p < 0.001), whereas acetabular retroversion signs were more pronounced when supine (COS: 34% [34 of 100], PWS: 68% [68 of 100], and ISS: 34% [34 of 100] versus COS: 19% [19 of 100], PWS: 38% [38 of 100], and ISS: 14% [14 of 100]; all p values < 0.05). Pelvic tilt increased by a mean of 4° ± 4° when standing, but the range of change was from -15° to 7°. The change in AWI (ρ = 0.47; p < 0.001), PWI (ρ = -0.45; p < 0.001), and COR (ρ = 0.52; p < 0.001) between positions correlated with ΔSFP. Volunteers with spinal imbalance (pelvic incidence lumbar lordosis > 10°) demonstrated greater change in pelvic tilt (ΔSFP) (-7° ± 3° versus -4° ± 4°; p = 0.02) and a greater reduction in AWI (by 10%). These volunteers demonstrated reduced standing lumbar lordosis angles (45° ± 11° versus 61° ± 10°; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Acetabular version increases from supine to standing because of an increase in pelvic tilt. The change in pelvic tilt between positions exhibited substantial variability. Individuals with reduced lumbar lordosis for a given pelvic incidence value demonstrated greater pelvic mobility. No features on supine radiographs were associated with the change in tilt. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Performing standing radiographs in addition to supine views can help identify aberrant physiologic patterns in patients with diagnostic dilemmas and might thus help with management. Normative data of pelvic tilt change can help clinicians identify patients who demonstrate excessive change in tilt that contributes to abnormal hip pathomechanics.

BACKGROUND: The objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate satisfaction with the new 2023 National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) criteria for selecting total hip arthroplasty (THA) over hemiarthroplasty and surgical recommendations for treatment of displaced intracapsular hip fractures; (2) describe why THA is performed when NICE criteria are not met; and (3) determine whether satisfaction with these guidelines is associated with improved outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients who had a displaced intracapsular hip fracture treated with THA at a single tertiary academic center between 2010 and 2022 was performed. Preoperative patient characteristics were reviewed to determine if the indication for THA met NICE criteria. Operative details, perioperative complications, reoperation, and revision arthroplasty within 12 months of surgery were recorded. RESULTS: Data from 196 patients (63% women; age 67 ± 10 years) were used. There were 161 THAs (82.1%) that satisfied NICE criteria. The 2 most common reasons for performing a THA when NICE criteria were not met (n = 35) included preoperative radiographic osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade ≥ 2; 48.6%) and decreased patient age (< 65 years; 31.5%). Satisfaction with the NICE criteria was associated with fewer perioperative complications (0.6 versus 37.1%; P < .001), reoperations (0.6 versus 31.4%; P < .001), and revisions (0.6 versus 28.6%; P < .001). The most common reason for revision was periprosthetic fracture, possibly secondary to the use of uncemented femoral stems (171 of 196, 87.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Satisfaction with the new NICE criteria is associated with improved perioperative outcomes. Further studies are necessary to determine if preexisting hip osteoarthritis and younger age merit consideration in patient selection.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures (FNF) has been associated with higher complication rates. However, THA for FNF is not always performed by arthroplasty surgeons. This study aimed to compare THA outcomes for FNF to osteoarthritis (OA). In doing so, we described contemporary THA failure modes for FNF performed by arthroplasty surgeons. METHODS: This was a retrospective, multisurgeon study from an academic center. Of FNFs treated between 2010 and 2020, 177 received THA by an arthroplasty surgeon [mean age 67 years (range, 42 to 97), sex: 64.4% women]. These were matched (1:2) for age and sex with 354 THAs performed for hip OA, by the same surgeons. No dual-mobilities were used. Outcomes included radiologic measurements (inclination/anteversion and leg length), mortality, complications, reoperation rates and patient-reported outcomes including Oxford Hip Score. RESULTS: Postoperative mean leg-length difference was 0 mm (range, -10 to -10 mm), with a mean cup inclination and anteversion of 41 and 26°, respectively. There was no difference in radiological measurements between FNF and OA patients (P = .3). At a 5-year follow-up, mortality rate was significantly higher in the FNF-THA group compared to the OA-THA group (15.3 versus 1.1%; P < .001). There was no difference in complications (7.3 versus 4.2%; P = .098) or reoperation rates (5.1 versus 2.9%; P = .142) between the groups. Dislocation rate was 1.7%. Oxford Hip Score at the final follow-up was similar [43.7 points (range, 10 to 48) versus 43.6 points (range, 10 to 48); P = .030]. CONCLUSION: THA for the treatment of FNF is a reliable option and is associated with satisfactory outcomes. Instability was not a common reason of failure, despite not using dual-mobility articulations in this at-risk population. This is likely due to THAs being performed by the arthroplasty staff. When patients live beyond 2 years, similar clinical and radiographic outcomes with low rates of revision can be expected compared to elective THA for OA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, case-control study.

BACKGROUND: Current national guidelines on caring for hip fractures recommend early mobilization. However, this recommendation does not account for time spent immobilized waiting for surgery. We sought to determine timing of mobilization following hip fracture, beginning at hospital admission, and evaluate its association with medical complications and length of hospital stay (LOS). METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data for 470 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for a hip fracture between September 2019 and August 2020 at an academic, tertiary-referral hospital. Outcomes of interest included time from hospital admission to mobilization, complication rate and LOS. We used a binary regression analysis to determine the effect of different surgical and patient factors on the risk of a postoperative medical complication. RESULTS: The mean time from admission to mobilization was 2.8 ± 2.3 days (range 3 h-14 d). There were 125 (26.6%) patients who experienced at least 1 complication. The odds of developing a complication began to increase steadily once a patient waited more than 3 days from admission to mobilization (odds ratio 2.15, 95% confidence interval 1.42-3.25). Multivariate regression analysis showed that prefracture frailty (ß = 0.276, p = 0.05), and timing from hospital admission to mobilization (ß = 0.156, p < 0.001) and from surgery to mobilization (ß = 1.195, p < 0.001) were associated with complications. The mean LOS was 12.2 ± 10.7 days (range 1-90 d). Prolonged wait to mobilization was associated with longer LOS (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: Comprehensive guidelines on timing of mobilization following hip fracture should account for cumulative time spent immobilized.

BACKGROUND: Nearly 700,000 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) are annually performed in North America, costing the healthcare system >$15 billion and creating over 5 million tons of waste. This study aims to (1) assess satisfaction of current THA setup; (2) determine economic cost, energy cost, and waste cost of current setup and apply lean methodology to improve efficiency; and (3) design and test "Savings through Lowering of Instrumentation Mass (SLIM) setup" based on lean principles and its ability to be safely implemented into practice. METHODS: A Needs Assessment Survey was performed. After review and surgeon input, the "SLIM" set was designed, significantly reducing redundancy. Eighty patients were randomized to either Standard or SLIM setup. Operating room time, blood loss, perioperative adverse events and complications, cost/case, instrument weight (kg/case), total waste (kg/case), case setup time, and number of times and number of extra trays required were compared between groups. RESULTS: The SLIM setup was associated with the following savings: Cost = -$408.19/case; Energy = -7.16 kWh/case; Waste = -1.61 kg/case; Trays = -6 (758 kg/case). No differences in operating room time, blood loss, and complication rate were detected (P > .05) between groups. Setup time was significantly shorter with SLIM (P < .05) and extra instrumentation was opened in <5% of cases. CONCLUSION: A more "minimalist approach" to THA can be safely implemented. The SLIM setup is efficient and has been openly accepted by our allied staff. Such setup can lead to 1,610 kg reduction in waste, 7,160 kWh, and $408,190 in savings per 1,000 THAs performed.

This study aimed to investigate the relationships among growth mindset, cognitive fusion, bias towards negative information, and bias towards positive information. The Growth Mindset Scale, the Attention to Positive and Negative Information Scale, and the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire were employed. A total of 470 college students in China participated in the study. The findings showed a negative correlation between a growth mindset and cognitive fusion. In addition, a parallel mediation analysis demonstrated that bias towards negative information mediated the relationship between a growth mindset and cognitive fusion and that the indirect effect was significant. However, the mediation of bias towards positive information in this model was not significant. These results suggest that possessing a growth mindset is advantageous for mental health.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety of using the anterior approach (AA), compared to the lateral approach (LA), in hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of displaced neck of femur fractures. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control match cohort study. SETTING: Level 1 trauma center. PATIENTS: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data for 39 consecutive intracapsular hip fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty using an AA between 2017 and 2021. Patients operated with the AA were matched in 1:2 ratio with patients that had hemiarthroplasty via a LA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Discharge destination, 90-day emergency room (ER) visit or readmission rate, inpatient and 90-day mortality rate, inpatient medical complications, 90-day mechanical complications, 90-day reoperation, and length of hospital stay (LOS). RESULTS: Discharge destination (p = 0.695), 90-day ER visit or readmission rate (p = 0.315), inpatient (p = 0.719) and 90-day mortality rate (p = 0.815), medical complications (p = 0.524), mechanical complications (p = 0.150) were similar between cohorts. Five patients, all in the LA-group, required re-operations within 90-days (p = 0.106). Patients in AA-group had shorter LOS (9.3 days, 95% CI [7.6-11.1] vs. 14.7 days [95% CI 12.2-17.3], p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The AA can be safely introduced for the treatment of hip fractures. Similar short-term outcomes relative to the LA were identified. The shorter LOS may reflect the improved early functional recovery offered from the muscle-sparing AA technique. Future, level-1 data should include early- and longer term functional outcome along with cost-effectiveness.

Change in pelvic tilt (PT) during and after peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) is important for surgical planning. The aims of this study were to (i) determine how PT varies throughout the course of treatment in patients undergoing PAO, (ii) test what factors influence the change in PT and (iii) assess whether changes in PT influenced achieved correction. This is an retrospective, single-centre, consecutive case series of 111 patients treated with PAO for global (n = 79), posterior (n = 49) or anterior dysplasia (n = 6) (mean age: 27.3 ± 7.7 years; 85% females). PT was determined on supine, anteroposterior pelvic radiographs pre-, intra-, 1 day, 6 weeks and 1 year post-operatively, using the sacro-femoral-pubic (SFP) angle, a validated, surrogate marker of PT. An optimal acetabular correction was based on the lateral centre-edge angle (25°-40°), acetabular index (-5° to 10°) and cross-over ratio (<20%). There was a significant difference across pre- (70.1° ± 4.8°), 1-day (71.7° ± 4.3°; P < 0.001) and early post-operative SFP (70.6° ± 4.7°; P = 0.004). The difference in SPF between pre-operative and 1-year post-operative was -0.5° ± 3.1° (P = 0.043), with 9% of cases having a difference of >5°. The difference in SFP did not correlate with age, sex, body mass index, type of dysplasia or achievement of optimal acetabular correction (P = 0.1-0.9). In the early post-operative period, PT is reduced, leading to a relative appearance of acetabular retroversion, which gradually corrects and is restored by annual follow-up. The degree of change in PT during PAO did not adversely affect fragment orientation. PT does not significantly change in most patients undergoing PAO and therefore does not appear to be a compensatory mechanism.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Radiographic evaluation plays an important role in detecting and grading hip dysplasia. Acetabular sector angles (ASAs) measure the degree of femoral head coverage provided by the acetabulum on computed tomographic (CT) scans. In this study, we aimed to determine ASA values at different axial levels in a control cohort with asymptomatic, high-functioning hips without underlying hip pathology and a study group with symptomatic, dysplastic hips that underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), thereby defining the ASA thresholds for hip dysplasia. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study evaluating a control group of 51 patients (102 hips) and a study group of 66 patients (72 hips). The control group was high-functioning and asymptomatic, with an Oxford Hip Score of >43, did not have osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade ≤1), underwent a pelvic CT scan, had a mean age (and standard deviation) of 52.1 ± 5.5 years, and was 52.9% female. The study group had symptomatic hip dysplasia treated with PAO, had a mean age of 29.5 ± 7.3 years, and 83.3% was female. Anterior ASA (AASA) and posterior ASA (PASA) were measured at 3 axial CT levels to determine equatorial, intermediate, and proximal ASA. The thresholds for dysplasia were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, including the area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS: Patients with dysplasia had significantly smaller ASAs compared with the control group; the differences were most pronounced for proximal AASAs and proximal and intermediate PASAs. The control group had a mean proximal PASA of 162° ± 17°, yielding a threshold for dysplasia of 137° (AUC, 0.908). The mean intermediate PASA for the control group was 117° ± 11°, yielding a threshold of 107° (AUC, 0.904). The threshold for anterior dysplasia was 133° for proximal AASA (AUC, 0.859) and 57° for equatorial AASA (AUC, 0.868). The threshold for posterior dysplasia was 102° for intermediate PASA (AUC, 0.933). CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of ASA is a reliable tool to identify focal acetabular deficiency with high accuracy, aiding diagnosis and management. A proximal PASA of <137° or an intermediate PASA of <107° should alert clinicians to the presence of dysplasia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic Level III .

A lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) has been reported to be prevalent among patients with hip dysplasia. The aims of this study were to determine the (1) prevalence of an LSTV in young patients presenting with hip pain and a group of asymptomatic volunteers, (2) effect of an LSTV on spinopelvic characteristics, and (3) presence of low back pain among patients with an LSTV. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 102 patients with hip pathology and 51 asymptomatic volunteers (mean age, 33.9 ± 7.3 years; mean body mass index, 26.0 ± 5.0 kg/m2; 57.5% female). Participants underwent radiographic assessment of the lumbar spine and pelvis in standing and deep-seated positions. LSTV occurrence was classified according to the Castellvi system. Spinopelvic characteristics included lumbar lordosis (including segmental lumbar angles), pelvic tilt, and hip flexion (pelvic-femoral angle). Differences between standing and deep-seated values were calculated. Low back pain was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index. Results: The prevalence of LSTV type ≥II was 8.5%, with no difference between patients and volunteers (p = 0.386). Individuals with an LSTV had a greater standing L1-L5 angle (mean, 51.6° ± 11.7° versus 38.9° ± 9.3°; p < 0.001). The overall spinal flexion (change in L1-S1 angle between the standing and deep-seated positions) in individuals with an LSTV was similar to that in individuals without an LSTV; restricted L5-S1 mobility was compensated for at L1-L2 (10.2° ± 5.8° in those with versus 8.4° ± 4.1° in those without an LSTV; p = 0.070). No significant difference in the presence of low back pain was found (p = 0.250). Conclusions: An LSTV was found in 8.5% of young adults, with no difference between patients with hip pathology and controls. Individuals with an LSTV have greater standing lumbar lordosis, with altered mechanics at the cephalad adjacent level, which may predispose these individuals to degenerative changes at this level. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
RESUMO
AIMS: The aims of this study were to determine the incidence and factors for developing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following hemiarthroplasty (HA) for hip fracture, and to evaluate treatment outcome and identify factors associated with treatment outcome. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of consecutive patients treated for HA PJI at a tertiary referral centre with a mean 4.5 years' follow-up (1.6 weeks to 12.9 years). Surgeries performed included debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) and single-stage revision. The effect of different factors on developing infection and treatment outcome was determined. RESULTS: A total of 1,984 HAs were performed during the study period, and 44 sustained a PJI (2.2%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher CCI score (odds ratio (OR) 1.56 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.117 to 2.187); p = 0.003), peripheral vascular disease (OR 11.34 (95% CI 1.897 to 67.810); p = 0.008), cerebrovascular disease (OR 65.32 (95% CI 22.783 to 187.278); p < 0.001), diabetes (OR 4.82 (95% CI 1.903 to 12.218); p < 0.001), moderate-to-severe renal disease (OR 5.84 (95% CI 1.116 to 30.589); p = 0.037), cancer without metastasis (OR 6.42 (95% CI 1.643 to 25.006); p = 0.007), and metastatic solid tumour (OR 15.64 (95% CI 1.499 to 163.087); p = 0.022) were associated with increasing PJI risk. Upon final follow-up, 17 patients (38.6%) failed initial treatment and required further surgery for HA PJI. One-year mortality was 22.7%. Factors associated with treatment outcome included lower preoperative Hgb level (97.9 g/l (SD 11.4) vs 107.0 g/l (SD 16.1); p = 0.009), elevated CRP level (99.1 mg/l (SD 63.4) vs 56.6 mg/l (SD 47.1); p = 0.030), and type of surgery. There was lower chance of success with DAIR (42.3%) compared to revision HA (66.7%) or revision with conversion to total hip arthroplasty (100%). Early-onset PJI (≤ six weeks) was associated with a higher likelihood of treatment failure (OR 3.5 (95% CI 1.2 to 10.6); p = 0.007) along with patients treated by a non-arthroplasty surgeon (OR 2.5 (95% CI 1.2 to 5.3); p = 0.014). CONCLUSION: HA PJI initially treated with DAIR is associated with poor chances of success and its value is limited. We strongly recommend consideration of a single-stage revision arthroplasty with cemented components.Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2022;3(12):924-932.
RESUMO
Growth mindset refers to our core belief that our talents can be developed through practice, which may influence our thoughts and behaviors. Growth mindset has been studied in a variety of fields, including education, sports, and management. However, few studies have explored whether differences in individuals' growth mindsets influence college students' self-reported mental health. Using the Growth Mindset Scale, Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist, and SCL-90 Scale, data was collected from 2,505 freshmen in a University in China. Findings revealed that the students within the growth mindset group scored significantly lower on "mental health issues" and "stress due to life events" than the students in the fixed mindset group. Our findings suggest that individuals with a growth mindset are less prone to mental health problems than individuals with a fixed mindset.
RESUMO
â¢: Surgeon-performed intraoperative peripheral nerve blocks may improve operating room efficiency and reduce hospital resource utilization and, ultimately, costs. Additionally, these blocks can be safely performed intraoperatively by most orthopaedic surgeons, while only specifically trained physicians are able to perform ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks. â¢: IPACK (infiltration between the popliteal artery and capsule of the knee) blocks are at least noninferior to periarticular infiltration when combined with an adductor canal block for analgesia following total knee arthroplasty. â¢: Surgeon-performed intraoperative adductor canal blocks are technically feasible and offer reliable anesthesia comparable with ultrasound-guided blocks performed by anesthesiologists. While clinical studies have shown promising results, additional Level-I studies are required. â¢: A surgeon-performed intraoperative psoas compartment block has been described as a readily available and safe technique, although there is some concern for femoral nerve analgesia, and temporary sensory changes have been reported.

Spinopelvic characteristics influence the hip's biomechanical behavior. However, there is currently little knowledge regarding what "normal" characteristics are. This study aimed to determine how static and dynamic spinopelvic characteristics change with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) among well-functioning volunteers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional cohort study of 112 asymptomatic volunteers (age, 47.4 ± 17.7 years; 50.0% female; BMI, 27.3 ± 4.9 kg/m2). All participants underwent lateral spinopelvic radiography in the standing and deep-seated positions to determine maximum hip and lumbar flexion. Lumbar flexion (change in lumbar lordosis, ∆LL), hip flexion (change in pelvic-femoral angle, ∆PFA), and pelvic movement (change in pelvic tilt, ΔPT) were determined. The hip user index, which quantifies the relative contribution of the hip to overall sagittal movement, was calculated as (∆PFA/[∆PFA + ∆LL]) × 100%. Results: There were decreases of 4.5° (9%) per decade of age in lumbar flexion (rho, -0.576; p < 0.001) and 3.6° (4%) per decade in hip flexion (rho, -0.365; p < 0.001). ∆LL could be predicted by younger age, low standing PFA, and high standing LL. Standing spinopelvic characteristics were similar between sexes. There was a trend toward men having less hip flexion (90.3° ± 16.4° versus 96.4° ± 18.1°; p = 0.065) and a lower hip user index (62.9% ± 8.2% versus 66.7% ± 8.3%; p = 0.015). BMI weakly correlated with ∆LL (rho, -0.307; p = 0.011) and ∆PFA (rho, -0.253; p = 0.039). Conclusions: Spinopelvic characteristics were found to be age, sex, and BMI-dependent. The changes in the lumbar spine during aging (loss of lumbar lordosis and flexion) were greater than the changes in the hip, and as a result, the hip's relative contribution to overall sagittal movement increased. Men had a greater change in posterior pelvic tilt when moving from a standing to a deep-seated position in comparison with women, secondary to less hip flexion. The influence of BMI on spinopelvic parameters was low.
