RESUMO
Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are associated with large impacts on patient's pain and quality of life. Conventional morphological imaging of tissue structure is limited in its ability to detect pain generators, early MSK disease, and rapidly assess treatment efficacy. Positron emission tomography (PET), which offers unique capabilities to evaluate molecular and metabolic processes, can provide novel information about early pathophysiologic changes that occur before structural or even microstructural changes can be detected. This sensitivity not only makes it a powerful tool for detection and characterization of disease, but also a tool able to rapidly assess the efficacy of therapies. These benefits have garnered more attention to PET imaging of MSK disorders in recent years. In this narrative review, we discuss several applications of multimodal PET imaging in non-oncologic MSK diseases including arthritis, osteoporosis, and sources of pain and inflammation. We also describe technical considerations and recent advancements in technology and radiotracers as well as areas of emerging interest for future applications of multimodal PET imaging of MSK conditions. Overall, we present evidence that the incorporation of PET through multimodal imaging offers an exciting addition to the field of MSK radiology and will likely prove valuable in the transition to an era of precision medicine.

BACKGROUND: Bicruciate-stabilized (BCS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs attempt to approximate natural knee mechanics. Multiple surgical techniques, including gap balancing (GB) and measured resection (MR), have been developed to provide optimal implant positioning and soft-tissue balance. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of surgical technique on BCS TKA contact kinematics. Secondary goals included investigating the change of kinematics over time and comparing BCS TKA kinematics to a posterior-stabilized (PS) design. METHODS: The study included the BCS-GB, BCS-MR, and PS-MR groups. The BCS-GB and BCS-MR groups underwent weight-bearing radiostereometric analysis for multiple knee flexion angles at 3 months and 1 year postoperatively, whereas the PS-MR group was imaged at 1 year postoperatively. The medial and lateral contact kinematics were determined from implant poses. RESULTS: There were no differences in BCS TKA kinematics between the GB and MR techniques. There were differences in the mid-flexion ranges when comparing the 3-month and 1-year kinematics of the BCS design; however, they were less than 1.5 mm. Differences existed between the kinematics of the BCS and PS designs at all flexion angles for the medial condyle (P < .0006) and at 0° of flexion on the lateral condyle (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: Contact kinematics for a BCS design were similar for both surgical techniques, suggesting both are appropriate for this design. Small, likely clinically insignificant differences were found between 3-month and 1-year kinematics. The BCS TKA kinematics differed from the PS design; however, it is unclear whether these differences improve clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Interest in cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased with advancement of biomaterials and implant design and associated improved longevity. We sought to evaluate the gap patterns and radiolucent zones radiographically for 2 newer-generation cementless TKA designs. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed our single-institution database between January 2017 and December 2019. We identified patients with a porous keeled tibia base-plate with 4-bullet cruciform spikes and peri-apatite coated femoral component (study group 1) and patients who received a cementless porous coated femoral component and rotating platform tibia baseplate with 4 peripheral porous coated pegs around a central cone (study group 2). We identified gap patterns at 6 weeks and at 1 year or more postoperatively on radiographs, noting indications for reoperation. RESULTS: We identified 228 patients in study group 1 and 41 patients in study group 2. At 1-year follow-up, we found evidence of resolved femoral gaps in 52 (72.2%) of 72 patients in study group 1 and 10 (58.8%) of 17 patients in study group 2 (p = 0.124). We identified 27 (84.3%) of 32 patients in study group 1 and 7 (70.0%) of 10 patients in study group 2 with resolved tibia gaps (p = 0.313). After 1 year, there were significantly more Zone 3a femoral zonal radiolucent gaps (p = 0.001) and Zone 8 tibia zonal radiolucent gaps (p = 0.002) in study group 2 than in study group 1. There were 4 reoperations for study group 1 and 0 reoperations for study group 2. CONCLUSION: The modern cementless TKA systems have varied gap patterns in postoperative radiographs, which may be attributed to the implant design. Most radiolucent gaps resolve radiographically on follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Corrosion at the modular head-neck taper interface of total and hemiarthroplasty hip implants (trunnionosis) is a cause of implant failure and thus a clinical concern. Patient and device factors contributing to the occurrence of trunnionosis have been investigated in prior implant retrieval studies but generally with limited sample sizes and a narrow range of models. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine which patient and device factors were associated with corrosion damage on the femoral stem taper across a large collection of different implant models retrieved following revision hip arthroplasty. METHODS: A retrieval study of 664 hip arthroplasty modular stem components was performed. Patient and device information was collected. Trunnions were imaged under digital microscopy and scored for corrosion damage using a scaling system. Damage was related to patient and device factors using regression analyses. RESULTS: Greater duration of implantation (P = .005) and larger head size (P < .001) were associated with an elevated corrosion class. Older age at index surgery (P = .035), stainless steel stem material (P = .022), indication for revision as bone or periprosthetic fracture (P = .017), and infection (P = .018) and certain larger taper geometries were associated with a decreased corrosion class. CONCLUSION: Factors identified as contributing to a higher or lower risk of more severe corrosion are consistent with most prior smaller retrieval studies. Surgeons should be aware of these risk factors when selecting implants for their patients and when diagnosing trunnionosis in symptomatic hip arthroplasty patients.

BACKGROUND: There has been a recent increase in the use of cementless fixation for primary total knee arthroplasty. While the early results of contemporary cementless implants are promising, understanding the behavior of cementless tibial baseplates under loading remains an ongoing interest. The objective of this study was to identify the pattern of displacement that occurred under loading for a single cementless tibial baseplate design at one year post operation for stable and continuously migrating implants. METHODS: There were 28 subjects from a previous trial of a pegged highly porous cementless tibial baseplate evaluated. Subjects underwent supine radiostereometric exams from two weeks through one year after surgery. At one year, subjects also underwent a standing radiostereometric exam. Fictive points on the tibial baseplate model were used to relate translations to anatomical locations. Migration over time was calculated to determine if subjects displayed stable or continuous migration. The magnitude of inducible displacement between the supine and standing exams was calculated. RESULTS: Inducible displacement patterns were similar between stable and continuously migrating tibial baseplates. Displacements were greatest in the anterior-posterior axis followed by the lateral-medial axis. Correlation of displacements between adjacent fictive points in these axes indicated an axial rotation of the baseplate occurred under loading (r2 = 0.689-0.977, P < .001). Less displacement occurred in the superior-inferior axis and correlations indicated an anterior-posterior tilt of the baseplate occurred under loading (r2 = 0.178-0.226, P = .009-.023). DISCUSSION: From supine to standing position the predominant pattern of displacement for this cementless tibial baseplate was axial rotation, with some subjects also displaying an anterior-posterior tilt.

BACKGROUND: Contact kinematics in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been shown to affect tibial component migration. However, previous studies correlating kinematic variables to implant migration were completed with older TKA designs. The goal of this study was to determine if there are associations between contact kinematics and tibial component migration for a cemented, bicruciate stabilized (BCS) TKA system. METHODS: A total of 54 knees implanted with a BCS TKA system were analyzed using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Patients underwent RSA exams at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post operation to measure tibial component migration. At 1 year, contact kinematics was evaluated during a quasi-static deep knee bend. Linear regression analyses were performed between kinematic variables and migration values. RESULTS: Significant correlations were found between contact kinematics and tibial component migration. Excursion on the lateral condyle was the most consistent variable correlating with implant migration. Six patients had > 0.2 mm migrations from 1 to 2 years post operation indicating continuously migrating tibial components, and most had atypical contact kinematics. CONCLUSION: Kinematics was shown to influence tibial component migration. Reduced lateral excursion, suggesting a more constrained lateral condyle, resulted in greater implant migration. The 6 patients who had continuously migrating tibial components had demographic factors that may limit the ability to endure unintended force transmissions caused by abnormal kinematics. These results highlight the importance of restoring knee kinematics with this BCS TKA design to minimize improper force transmissions and resultant increased implant migrations.

BACKGROUND: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is rapidly being adopted as the standard procedure for a growing number of shoulder pathologies. Lateralization of the glenoid component is known to reduce the incidence of scapular notching and possibly improve postoperative range of motion. A number of methods are used for glenoid component lateralization, including bony increased-offset reverse shoulder arthroplasty (BIO-RSA) and porous metal-augmented baseplates. Presently, there exists little comparative literature on bone vs. metal lateralization. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare BIO-RSA to metal-augmented glenoid baseplates by assessing clinical outcomes and baseplate migration using model-based radiostereometric analysis. METHODS: A power analysis indicated 40 patients would be required for this radiostereometric study. Therefore, 41 shoulders were prospectively randomized to receive either glenoid bone grafting (BIO-RSA) or a porous metal-augmented wedge-shaped titanium baseplate for primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty. At the time of primary surgery, all patients also underwent implantation of 8 tantalum marker beads in the glenoid and coracoid. Following surgery, participants were imaged using a calibrated, stereo radiographic technique. Radiographs were acquired at 6 weeks (baseline), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. Migration of the prosthesis was compared between bone and metal lateralization groups at each time point using a mixed effects model with Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. Outcome measures were acquired preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed along any translation or rotation axis at any time point for either glenoid fixation group (P ≥ .175). Mean total glenoid component translation (± standard deviation) 2 years postoperatively was 0.4 ± 0.2 mm and 0.5 ± 0.3 mm for BIO-RSA and metal-augmented baseplates, respectively (P = .784). No significant differences were observed between groups in active range of motion; pain; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score; Simple Shoulder Test score; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand score; Constant Shoulder score; or Subjective Shoulder Value (P ≥ .117), with the exception of increased active external rotation in the BIO-RSA cohort (P = .036). CONCLUSION: This randomized clinical trial assessed reverse shoulder arthroplasty glenoid component migration using model-based radiostereometric analysis. At 2-year follow-up, our results indicate both BIO-RSA and porous metal wedge augmented baseplates provide stable initial fixation, which is maintained at 2 years' follow-up, with no substantial differences in clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The literature comparing humeral implants in reverse shoulder arthroplasty is sparse. With minimal supporting literature, there has been a trend away from standard-length cemented humeral implants to press-fit stems and, recently, to shorter-stem implants. It is known that early implant migration, within the first 2 years postoperatively, is predictive of later implant loosening and possible revision surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and implant migration between cemented standard-length humeral stems and press-fit short stems using model-based radiostereometric analysis. METHODS: After a power analysis, 41 shoulders were prospectively randomized to receive either a cemented standard-length or press-fit short humeral stem for primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty between July 2017 and June 2019. Following surgery, participants were imaged with stereo radiographs acquired at 6 weeks (baseline), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Migration of the humeral stem at each time point was compared with baseline, with differences in migration between cohorts assessed using a mixed-effects model with the Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. Patient-reported outcome measures (Subjective Shoulder Value; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder score; Simple Shoulder Test score; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score; and Constant score) were also compared. RESULTS: At 6 months (P = .025), 1 year (P = .004), and 2 years (P = .001) postoperatively, press-fit short stems migrated significantly more than cemented stems along the superior-inferior translation axis; in addition, they showed greater total translation at 2 years (P = .003). Mean total translation (± standard deviation) at 2 years was 0.4 ± 0.2 mm and 1.0 ± 1.1 mm for the cemented and press-fit cohorts, respectively. Mean migration between the 1- and 2-year time points was minimal for both stem fixation groups along all axes (<0.1 mm and 0.6°). There was no difference in active range of motion, pain, or validated outcome measures between the cohorts at 2 years (P ≥ .170). CONCLUSION: This randomized clinical trial shows that press-fit short humeral stems subside substantially more than standard-length cemented stems but ultimately achieve stability from 1 year through 2 years. Conversely, no significant differences were observed in clinical outcomes between cohorts.

BACKGROUND: Oxidized zirconium (OxZi) femoral heads combine the decreased abrasive properties of ceramics with the toughness of metal alloys to lower wear and increase the durability of total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the 10-year polyethylene wear rates between OxZi/XLPE and cobalt chrome (CoCr)/XLPE articulations. METHODS: A radiostereometric analysis (RSA) was performed on two cohorts of 23 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using either OxZi/XLPE or CoCr/XLPE at a minimum of 10-year follow-up. Cohorts were matched for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and diagnosis. Polyethylene wear was measured using RSA to determine total and steady-state wear rates for both cohorts. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (SF12, HHS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index scores) were compared. RESULTS: The mean total head penetration rate was found to be statistically different between the entire cohorts (OxZi 0.048 ± 0.021 mm/y, CoCr 0.035 ± 0.017 mm/y, P = .02) but not when 28-mm heads only (OxZi 0.045 ± 0.016 mm/y, CoCr 0.034 ± 0.017 mm/y, P = .066) were directly compared. The mean steady-state wear rate was not significantly different between the entire cohorts (OxZi 0.031 ± 0.021 mm/y, CoCr 0.024 ± 0.019 mm/y, P = .24) or 28-mm head cohorts (OxZi 0.028 ± 0.019 mm/y, CoCr 0.024 ± 0.019 mm/y, P = .574). Outcome measures showed no statistical difference except for the Harris Hip Score where the OxZi cohort demonstrated higher median scores. CONCLUSION: Using RSA to evaluate the 10-year in-vivo head penetration, there was no statistically significant difference in steady-state wear rates between OxZi and CoCr articulations. Both bearing combinations demonstrated wear rates well below the threshold for osteolysis.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence and outcomes of unexpected positive intraoperative cultures (UPC) in presumed aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of UPC and infection-free implant survival in this patient population. Secondly, we aimed to compare the infection-free implant survival between cohorts based on number of UPCs and antibiotic treatment. METHODS: We reviewed our institutional database from 2006 to 2019 for all TKA revisions (n = 1795) to identify all presumed aseptic TKA revisions with intraoperative culture(s). After exclusions, 775 revisions were eligible and those with UPC were included in the Kaplan-Meier analysis to determine infection-free implant survival for the cohorts. RESULTS: The prevalence of UPC was 9.8%. The 2- and 5-year infection-free survival was 97.4% and 95.3%, respectively. The 5-year infection-free survival from the same microorganism as the UPC was 98.7%. Infection-free survival was similar for the 1 versus ≥2 UPC cohorts (P = .416), however was poorer for the cohort treated with antibiotics (P = .021). Only one of 3 subsequent PJI-related implant failures was caused by the same microorganism (polymicrobial) as the UPC. There were no subsequent infections in patients with a single UPC not treated with antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of UPC was 9.8% and the infection-free implant survival is excellent. Infection-free survivorship from PJI caused by the same UPC microorganism is outstanding. Comparisons between cohorts must be interpreted with caution due to study limitations. A single UPC in patents without other signs of infection does not require antibiotic treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

BACKGROUND: Implant migration and altered kinematics have been thought to impact patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and postoperative patient satisfaction. In this study comparing satisfied and dissatisfied total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients, we hypothesized that dissatisfied patients will have greater continuous implant migration and that there will be differences in joint kinematics, objective functional measurements, and PROMs between satisfied and dissatisfied patients. METHODS: The Knee Society Score Satisfaction Subsection questions regarding satisfaction with function were used at least 6 months postoperation to split 50 patients into satisfied and dissatisfied groups. Patients underwent radiostereometric analysis to evaluate migration and kinematics. A wearable sensor system obtained objective measurements of patient function during timed up and go tests. PROMs were recorded preoperation and postoperation. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences were found in migration between satisfied and dissatisfied groups. Statistical kinematic differences existed in lateral anteroposterior contact location at 20° and 40° of flexion at 1 year, where the dissatisfied group had more anteriorly located lateral contact. No statistically significant differences were present in objective functional measurements. Satisfied and dissatisfied groups had differing PROMs at 4 timepoints or greater for each questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: No differences were found in tibial component migration or objectively measured function between satisfied and dissatisfied patients. Functionally dissatisfied patients had more anteriorly positioned contact on the lateral condyle in early flexion and reported more pain and unmet expectations. These findings suggest that improving the functional satisfaction of TKA requires restoration of kinematics in early flexion and management of patient's pain and expectations.

BACKGROUND: The goal of this study is to investigate the migration and inducible displacement of a bicruciate-stabilized (BCS) total knee arthroplasty implanted using gap balancing (GB) or measured resection (MR) surgical techniques. We hypothesized equal migration and displacement between the techniques. METHODS: The study is a single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial, with allocation of 71 patients to either GB or MR groups. Fifteen patients were withdrawn, resulting in 31 patients in the GB group and 25 in the MR group. Patients received the JOURNEY II™ BCS implant. Migration and inducible displacement were evaluated using radiostereometric analysis and patient examinations were performed at a 2-week baseline, and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperation. RESULTS: No differences (P > .05) existed between GB and MR groups for any measurement of tibial or femoral migration. Both groups had tibial migrations below 0.5 mm from baseline to 6 months, and below 0.2 mm from both 6 months to 1 year and 1-2 years postoperation. No differences (P > .05) were found between GB and MR groups for inducible displacement. CONCLUSION: No differences were found in implant migration or inducible displacement between GB and MR groups. The BCS implant can be expected to have migration risks on par with industry standards and both surgical techniques are safe and effective options for implantation of this implant design.

BACKGROUND: The direct lateral (DL) approach to total hip arthroplasty is more commonly used than the newer direct anterior (DA) approach. Both approaches use collared or collarless femoral stems. We sought to assess implant stability of stem designs implanted with the DL approach and compare outcomes from this cohort with those of a previously reported cohort of patients who underwent arthroplasty with a DA approach. We also sought to determine if early recovery influences differences in migration. METHODS: Patients underwent total hip arthroplasty using the DL or the DA approach and were randomized to receive either a collared or collarless, cementless femoral stem. On the day of surgery and at 6 follow-up visits through to 1 year, patients underwent supine radiostereometric imaging to track implant migration. At follow-up visits, patients performed an instrumented walking test to assess their functional ability and logged an average daily step count to assess their activity levels. We assessed whether patient function and activity were correlated with migration. RESULTS: Stem design did not have a significant effect on migration for the DL group (p = 0.894). Compared with the DA group, the DL group migrated significantly less for both collared (p = 0.031) and collarless (p = 0.002) stems. Migration was not correlated with function or activity at any time point (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Most implant migration occurred from the day of surgery to 2 weeks after the operation and stabilized thereafter, suggesting adequate fixation and a low risk for aseptic loosening in both patient groups.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to use at-home, portable, continuous monitoring technologies to record arm motion and activity preoperatively and postoperatively after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA). METHODS: Thirty-three patients indicated for RTSA were monitored preoperatively and 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Inertial measurement units were placed on the sternum and upper arm of the operative limb, recording humeral motion relative to the torso for the duration of a waking day. Elevation events per hour (EE/h) > 90°, time spent at >90°, and activity intensity were calculated and compared between time points. Patient-reported outcome measures were also collected at all time points. RESULTS: At 3 (P = .040) and 12 (P = .010) months after RTSA, patients demonstrated a significantly greater number of EE/h > 90° compared with preoperatively. There were no significant differences (P ≥ .242) in the amount of time spent at different elevation angles at any time point or in arm activity intensity. Overall, 95% of the day was spent at elevation angles < 60°, and 90% of the day was spent in a low- or moderate-intensity state. Pearson correlations demonstrated relationships between forward elevation and the number of EE/h (r = 0.395, P = .001) and the number of EE/h > 90° (r = 0.493, P < .001). CONCLUSION: After RTSA, patients significantly increase the frequency of arm elevation to higher angles. However, we found no differences in the amount of time spent at different elevation angles. Overall, after RTSA, >95% of the day was spent at elevation angles < 60° and <1% of the day was spent at >90° of elevation.

BACKGROUND: Several in vitro studies have investigated the biomechanics of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA); however, few in vivo studies exist. The purpose of this study was to examine in vivo RTSA contact mechanics in clinically relevant arm positions. Our hypothesis was that contact would preferentially occur in the inferior region of the polyethylene liner. METHODS: Forty patients receiving a primary RTSA were recruited for a prospective cohort study. All patients received the same implant design with a nonretentive liner. Stereo radiographs were taken at maximal active range of motion. Model-based radiostereometric analysis was used to identify implant position. Contact area between the polyethylene and glenosphere was measured as the geometric intersection of the 2 components and compared with respect to polyethylene liner size, arm position, and relative position within the liner. RESULTS: There were no differences in the proportion of contact area in any arm position between polyethylene liner sizes, ranging from 30% ± 17% to 38% ± 23% for 36-mm liners and 32% ± 21% to 41% ± 25% for 42-mm liners. Contact was equally distributed between the superior and inferior halves of the liner at each arm position (P = .06-.79); however, greater contact area was observed in the outer radius of the liner when the arm was flexed (P = .002). CONCLUSION: This study highlights that contact mechanics are similar between 36- and 42-mm liners. Contact area is generally equally distributed throughout the liner across the range of motion and not preferentially in the inferior region as hypothesized.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of falls affects the wellbeing of aging adults and places an economic burden on the healthcare system. Integration of wearable sensors into existing fall risk assessment tools enables objective data collection that describes the functional ability of patients. In this study, supervised machine learning was applied to sensor-derived metrics to predict the fall risk of patients following total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: At preoperative, 2-week, and 6-week postoperative appointments, patients (n = 72) were instrumented with sensors while they performed the timed-up-and-go walking test. Preoperative and 2-week postoperative data were used to form the feature sets and 6-week total times were used as labels. Support vector machine and linear discriminant analysis classifier models were developed and tested on various combinations of feature sets and feature reduction schemes. Using a 10-fold leave-some-subjects-out testing scheme, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operator curve (AUC) were evaluated for all models. RESULTS: A high performance model (accuracy = 0.87, sensitivity = 0.97, specificity = 0.46, AUC = 0.82) was obtained with a support vector machine classifier using sensor-derived metrics from only the preoperative appointment. An overall improved performance (accuracy = 0.90, sensitivity = 0.93, specificity = 0.59, AUC = 0.88) was achieved with a linear discriminant analysis classifier when 2-week postoperative data were added to the preoperative data. CONCLUSION: The high accuracy of the fall risk prediction models is valuable for patients, clinicians, and the healthcare system. High-risk patients can implement preventative measures and low-risk patients can be directed to enhanced recovery care programs.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach has increased in popularity in the last decade, with research supporting enhanced early recovery; however, some investigators have reported increased early revision rates in direct anterior THA. We examined outcomes from a single institution's experience with a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stem implanted via the anterior or the lateral approach. Methods: Patients who had received fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stems as part of THA surgery performed by 1 of 3 surgeons between January 2012 and September 2017 were identified from our institutional database. We examined revision rates for the 2 approaches and compared them between the 2 groups. We also analyzed outcomes on plain film radiographs obtained immediately postoperatively and at 1 and 2 years. Results: A total of 695 patients received a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared stem during the study period. Total hip arthroplasty was performed via the direct anterior approach in 281/778 hips (36.1%) and via the direct lateral approach in 497 (63.9%). Nineteen patients (2.5%) underwent subsequent revision surgery; there was no statistically significant difference in the revision rate between the anterior and lateral approaches (2.5% v. 2.4%, p = 0.95). The mean subsidence of the stem at 1 year was 1.68 mm (standard deviation 11.7 mm). No statistically significant differences were observed between the cohorts for any of the radiographic measurements at either follow-up time. Conclusion: We found no significant difference in revision rates between the direct anterior and direct lateral approach. Stem subsidence levels were in keeping with expected values, and no major changes in stem position occurred during the first postoperative year. Surgical approach did not appear to substantially affect biomechanical stem behaviour.
Contexte: L'arthroplastie totale de la hanche (ATH) par voie antérieure directe a gagné en popularité dans les 10 dernières années, la recherche ayant montré qu'elle favorisait un rétablissement rapide; certains chercheurs ont toutefois signalé qu'elle était associée à un taux accru d'opérations de révision précoces. Nous avons étudié les issues de l'installation d'une tige fémorale à collier entièrement recouverte d'hydroxyapatite par voie antérieure ou latérale dans un établissement. Méthodes: Nous avons interrogé la base de données de notre établissement pour y recenser les patients ayant subi, entre janvier 2012 et septembre 2017, une ATH au cours de laquelle 1 de 3 chirurgiens a installé une tige fémorale à collier entièrement recouverte d'hydroxyapatite. Nous avons ensuite examiné le taux d'opérations de révision pour les 2 approches étudiées, et avons comparé les issues des 2 groupes. Nous avons également analysé les clichés radiographiques pris immédiatement après l'intervention, de même de ceux pris aux suivis à 1 et à 2 ans. Résultats: Durant la période à l'étude, 695 patients se sont fait installer une tige fémorale à collier entièrement recouverte d'hydroxyapatite. Sur 778 hanches, 281 (36,1 %) avaient subi une ATH par voie antérieure directe, et 497 (63,9 %), une ATH par voie latérale directe. Dix-neuf patients (2,5 %) ont dû subséquemment subir une opération de révision; aucune différence statistiquement significative n'a été observée entre le groupe voie antérieure et le groupe voie latérale en ce qui a trait au taux de révision (2,5 % c. 2,4 %; p = 0,95). L'affaissement moyen de la tige au suivi à 1 an était de 1,68 mm (écart type 11,7 mm). Les mesures radiographiques des 2 groupes ne présentaient pas de différences statistiquement significatives, quel que soit le moment du suivi. Conclusion: Nous n'avons constaté aucune différence significative dans le taux de révision entre les 2 groupes. L'affaissement observé était dans les valeurs attendues, et la position de la tige n'avait pas changé de façon importante au cours de la première année. La voie chirurgicale utilisée ne semblait pas influencer considérablement le comportement biomécanique de la tige.

BACKGROUND: Surgical approaches for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include the medial parapatellar (MPA), subvastus (SV), midvastus (MV), and lateral parapatellar approach (LPA); it remains unclear which approach is superior. METHODS: Patients having undergone TKA at our institution were retrospectively organized into matched groups according to surgical approach (MPA, MV, SV, or LPA). Outcomes between the groups were compared using the Short-Form 12 (SF-12), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Knee Society Score (KSS), and range of motion (ROM) up to 2 years postoperative. RESULTS: Sixty-eight MV patients, 8 SV patients, and 4 LPA patients were matched with groups of MPA patients. There was no difference in outcomes between the MPA and MV groups up to 2 years. The SV group had significantly higher SF-12 Physical Composite Score (PCS; p = 0.036) and WOMAC stiffness score (p = 0.014) at 2 years, but significantly lower flexion at 1 year (p = 0.022) than the MPA group. The LPA group had significantly lower SF-12 PCS (p = 0.011) and WOMAC function scores (p = 0.022) at 1 year than the MPA group. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the MPA and MV approach. The SV approach had some improved long-term outcomes over the MPA aproach (SF-12 and WOMAC), but had significantly lower flexion at 1 year. The LPA group showed inferior outcomes than the MPA group but had more severe valgus preoperative deformity (p = 0.024). Further studies are required to investigate the potential benefit of quadriceps-sparing approaches.

BACKGROUND: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is quickly becoming the most frequently performed glenohumeral joint replacement. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the volumetric and linear wear rates of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene humeral liners in vivo at a minimum 5-year follow-up. METHODS: Radiostereometric analysis was used to image 15 patients at terminal range of motion in forward flexion, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation and with the arm at the side. The relative position and orientation of the glenosphere and polyethylene were identified for each arm position. The apparent intersection of the glenosphere into the polyethylene was recorded as wear. Mean volumetric and linear wear rates were recorded, and Pearson correlation coefficients were applied to the 36-mm liners to assess the relationship between the wear rate and term of service. RESULTS: The mean reverse shoulder arthroplasty term of service at the time of imaging was 8 ± 1 years (range, 6-11 years). The mean volumetric and linear wear rates for the 36-mm liners (n = 13) were 42 ± 22 mm3/yr (r = 0.688, P = .009) and 0.11 ± 0.03 mm/yr (r = 0.767, P = .002), respectively. The mean volumetric and linear wear rates for the 42-mm liners (n = 2) were 114 ± 44 mm3/yr and 0.17 ± 0.01 mm/yr, respectively. No single arm position was able to capture all recorded wear individually. CONCLUSION: This study showed volumetric and linear wear rates of approximately 40 mm3/yr and 0.1 mm/yr, respectively, for the 36-mm polyethylene liners. The 42-mm liners showed higher wear rates, although a greater number of subjects is required for conclusive results. In vivo wear of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is multidirectional and perceptible.
