Background
Direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) with fluoroscopic assistance is growing in popularity. Variables such as pelvic tilt, c-arm technique, and patient positioning can affect the perceived fluoroscopic view. This study evaluates the effect of these variables on the position of the acetabular component.Methods
Forty-one hips in 40 patients undergoing direct anterior arthroplasty THA with fluoroscopic assistance underwent routine postoperative radiographs and postoperative pelvic computed tomography scan. The acetabular component position as defined by a 3-dimensional reconstruction was compared to the surgeon's intraoperative perception of the component's position and compared to routine postoperative plain radiograph measurements.Results
Although fluoroscopy was used to create an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph utilizing the coccyx to pubis symphysis distance, a 3D reconstruction created in the same pelvic orientation as the fluoroscopic images confirmed that 39/41 hips were placed with unrecognized excess of anteversion and inclination secondary to imaging the pelvis in extension.Conclusion
Intraoperative imaging during supine direct anterior arthroplasty THA confirms appropriate component placement. Pelvic tilt can greatly affect the perceived position of the acetabular component and cannot be accurately compensated for by assessing the relationship between the coccyx and pubic symphysis due to morphologic variation and orientation. We recommend positioning the c-arm so that the size and shape of the obturator foramen matches the standing preoperative anteroposterior pelvis image. This technique allows for the native standing pelvic tilt to be accounted for intraoperatively and will result in the least variation in intraoperative and postoperative standing acetabular component orientation. 相似文献2.

BackgroundThere are morphologic differences between males and females, which are currently underappreciated during total hip arthroplasty. We sought to assess whether these differences affected surgical process and subsequent outcome.MethodsA total of 123 patients (75 females, 48 males) had preoperative and 1-year Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and pain scores recorded. Acetabular height and offset, femoral height and offset, and acetabular floor depth were measured on preoperative and postoperative X-rays and then compared to their normal opposite hip. Discrepancies between the replaced and normal hip X-ray measurements were then correlated with changes (the delta gain) in preoperative and 1-year postoperative OHS and pain scores.ResultsPostoperatively, females had significantly greater femoral height discrepancy (P = .023) which meant they were lengthened. This led to a reduced delta gain in OHS and pain score at 1 year. Males lost more acetabular offset than females (P = .002), leading to a medialized acetabular center and subsequently reduced delta gain in pain score at 1 year (P = .017).ConclusionFemales have a smaller femur leading to a bias toward a conservative (higher) neck cut compared with males and potential for femoral lengthening. Males have a greater acetabular floor depth compared with females and thus reaming to the true floor results in greater loss of acetabular offset. In this series, both scenarios led to reduced improvement in OHS and/or pain scores at 1 year. 相似文献

Background
Relative value units (RVUs) are used to evaluate the effort required for providing a service to patients in order to determine compensation. Thus, more complicated cases, like revision arthroplasty cases, should yield a greater compensation. However, there are limited data comparing RVUs to the time required to complete the service. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the (1) mean RVUs, (2) mean operative times, and (3) mean RVU/minute between primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and (4) perform an individualized idealized surgeon annual cost difference analysis.Methods
A total of 103,702 patients who underwent primary (current procedural terminology code 27130) and 7273 patients who underwent revision THA (current procedural terminology code 27134) were identified using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Mean RVUs, operative times (minutes), and RVU/minute were calculated and compared using Student t-test. Dollar amount per minute, per case, per day, and year was calculated to find an individualized idealized surgeon annual cost difference.Results
The mean RVU was 21.24 ± 0.53 (range, 20.72-21.79) for primary and 30.27 ± 0.03 (range, 30.13-30.28) for revision THA (P < .001). The mean operative time for primary THA was 94 ± 38 minutes (range, 30-480 minutes) and 152 ± 75 minutes (range, 30-475 minutes) for revision THA (P < .001). The mean RVU/minute was 0.260 ± 0.10 (range, 0.04-0.73) for primary and 0.249 ± 0.12 (range, 0.06-1.0) for revision cases (P < .001). The dollar amounts calculated for primary vs revision THA were as follows: per minute ($9.33 vs $8.93), per case ($877.12 vs $1358.32), per day ($6139.84 vs $5433.26), and a projected $113,052.28 annual cost difference for an individual surgeon.Conclusion
Maximizing the RVU/minute provides the greatest “hourly rate.” The RVU/minute for primary (0.260) being significantly greater than revision THA (0.249) and an annualized $113,052.28 cost difference reveal that although revision THAs are more complex cases requiring longer operative time, greater technical skill, and aftercare, compensation per time is not greater. 相似文献5.
Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at metal/metal modular junctions in which at least one of the components is fabricated from cobalt-chromium alloy, has reemerged as a potential clinically significant complication in total hip arthroplasty. The clinical manifestation of MACC may include the development of an adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR), similar to what has been described in association with metal-on-metal bearing total hip and resurfacing arthroplasty. The clinical presentation of MACC-associated ALTRs may include pain and possibly late recurrent dislocations. Abnormal metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance images and elevated serum metal levels (cobalt elevations out of proportion to chromium elevations) can be helpful in the diagnosis of these MACC-associated ALTRs. 相似文献

BackgroundPelvic tilt affects acetabular anteversion, and thus total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocation risk. The pubic symphysis-sacrococcygeal distance (PSCD) is an indicator of pelvic tilt, and a PSCD < 0 mm (ie, excessive posterior pelvic tilt) is associated with a 3.7-fold increase in postoperative dislocation rate. However, it is not known if the direct anterior (DA) approach might reduce this dislocation rate, specifically in high-risk populations such as negative PSCD.MethodsStanding anteroposterior radiographs were reviewed for 510 consecutive DA THAs to determine PSCD. Patients were separated into 2 groups: (1) PSCD > 0 mm (PSCD[+]) and (2) PSCD < 0 mm (PSCD[−]). Incidence of dislocation was determined. We recorded if patients had spinal deformity or lumbar fusion. Continuous variables were analyzed using Student’s t-test, categorical variables were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, and a sample size calculation was performed.ResultsThree hundred fifty-eight hips (70.2%) were PSCD[+], while 152 hips (29.8%) were PSCD[−]. Three dislocations (3/510 hips, 0.6%) occurred. Two dislocators were in the PSCD[−] group (2/152 hips, 1.3%) and 1 dislocator was in the PSCD[+] group (1/358 hips, 0.3%) (P = .21). Twenty-four patients had degenerative scoliosis (24/510, 4.7%), of which 1 had a dislocation (1/24, 4.2%); 2 dislocations occurred in nonscoliosis patients (2/486, 0.4%) (P = .134). Twenty-seven patients had lumbar spinal fusion (27/510, 5.3%), of which there were no dislocations (0/27, 0.0%); all dislocations were in nonfusion patients (3/483, 0.6%) (P = 1.0).ConclusionWe demonstrate no increased risk for THA dislocation in patients with a PSCD < 0 mm who have undergone a DA approach. These data would suggest a protective effect of the DA approach against dislocation, even in historically high-risk populations. 相似文献

Background
In comparison to coronal, sagittal, and rotational alignment, translational alignment parameters have been widely neglected in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) so far. As there is a certain variable range of possible component placement in mediolateral, ventrodorsal, and proximodistal direction, we hypothesized that relative positions between the femoral and tibial bones are changed after TKA, resulting in a subluxation of knees.Methods
In 10 knees of Thiel-embalmed whole body cadavers, the relative position between the femur and the tibia during passive flexion was measured before and after TKA by means of a navigational device.Results
After TKA, in extension, femoral bones in average shifted 5.3 mm (standard deviation [SD] = 4.0, P = .002) laterally and 2.4 mm (SD = 3.1, P = .038) proximally in extension which, however, decreased throughout flexion. Furthermore, the ventrodorsal femoral position was altered, resulting in a slight relative dorsal shift (2.6 mm, SD = 4.5, P = .099) in extension, which continuously changed into a ventral shift (2.6 mm, SD = 4.3, P = .087) during flexion.Conclusion
The present investigation reveals changed translational parameters between the tibia and the femur after TKA. The resulting subluxation of the knee may be responsible for changed kinematic patterns. These changes in tibofemoral position should be considered in future biomechanical studies. Main reasons for this effect might be a noncentral placement of tibial and femoral implants in relation to the proximal tibial and distal femoral anatomy, obscured intraoperative articular geometry, symmetric implants, and operative techniques. Smaller steps between different component sizes, asymmetric tibial implant design, or individual (anatomic) implants could help to minimize subluxation in TKA. 相似文献8.

BackgroundStudies have shown that lower socioeconomic status may result in adverse outcomes following total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The optimal method of defining socioeconomic status, however, continues to be debated. The purpose of this study is to determine which socioeconomic variables are associated with poor outcomes following THA and TKA.MethodsWe reviewed a consecutive series of 2770 primary THA and TKA patients from 2015 to 2018. Utilizing census data based upon the patient’s ZIP code, we extracted poverty, unemployment, high school graduation, and vehicle possession rates. We collected demographics, comorbidities, discharge disposition, 90-day readmissions, and postoperative functional outcome scores for each patient. We then performed a multivariate regression analysis to identify the effect of each socioeconomic variable on postoperative outcomes.ResultsPatients from areas with high unemployment (P = .008) and low high school graduation rates (P = .019) had a higher age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index. High poverty levels, high unemployment, lower high school graduation rate, and lower vehicle possession rates did not have a significant effect on functional outcomes (all P > .05). In the multivariate analysis, no socioeconomic variable demonstrated an increased rate of rehabilitation discharge, revision, or readmission (all P > .05).ConclusionPatients undergoing THA and TKA from areas with high unemployment and lower educational levels do have more medical comorbidities. However, none of the 4 socioeconomic variables studied are independently associated with higher rates of readmission, discharge to rehabilitation, or worse functional outcomes. Patients from disadvantaged areas should not be denied access to arthroplasty care based on socioeconomic status alone. 相似文献

Background
Increasingly, acetabular retroversion is recognized in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. Although prosthetic component positioning is not determined solely by native acetabular anatomy, acetabular retroversion presents a dilemma for component positioning if the surgeon implants the device in the anatomic position. 相似文献11.

BackgroundMany patients electing to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) value continuing active lifestyles when considering treatment options. Addressing these concerns requires evaluating the effect of preoperative activity level on patient-reported outcomes and improvement following THA.MethodsThree hundred thirty-five patients (368 hips) who underwent THA with a minimum 6-month (mean 533 ± 271 days) follow-up completed preoperative and postoperative University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score along with various patient-reported measures of function, pain, and mental state. Preoperative UCLA score divided patients into inactive, mild, and active groups. Analysis of covariance controlling for age, sex, body mass index, surgical approach, implant, bilateral cases, conversions, and follow-up time evaluated differences among groups for postoperative outcomes with subsequent Tukey-Kramer pairwise comparisons.ResultsMildly active patients (73:139 male:female) had better postoperative outcomes than inactive patients (40:70 male:female) for UCLA score, EuroQol Visual Analog Scale (EQVAS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), 12-item Short-Form (SF-12) Physical, and Visual Analog Pain Scale (average/now/worst) (P values <0.001/<0.001/<0.001/<0.001/0.003/<0.001/<0.001). Active patients (32:14 male:female) had better postoperative outcomes than inactive patients for UCLA score, EQVAS, HOS, SF-12 Physical, and Visual Analog Pain Scale Worst (P values <0.001/0.024/0.001/0.001/0.017). No postoperative outcome differences existed between active and mild patients. Inactive patients displayed greater outcome improvements than mildly active patients for UCLA score, Harris Hip Score, and International Hip Outcome Tool (P values <0.001/<0.001/0.013) and active patients for UCLA score, EQVAS, HOS, International Hip Outcome Tool, and SF-12 Physical (P values <0.001/0.008/0.013/0.022/0.004).ConclusionsInactive patients achieve greater measure improvements following THA. Active patients achieve better absolute outcomes than inactive patients; however, increasing activity levels do not incrementally improve patient-reported outcome measures. Patients similarly improve pain and mental health regardless of activity level. 相似文献

Background
Several studies suggest worse surgical outcomes among racial/ethnic minorities. There is a paucity of research on preoperative and postoperative pain, general health, and disease-specific measures in which race is the main subject of investigation; furthermore, the results are not conclusive.Questions/purposes
(1) Do black patients have more severe or more frequent preoperative pain, well-being, general health, and disease-specific scores when compared with white patients? (2) Are there differences between black patients and white patients after hip or knee arthroplasty on those same measures?Methods
In this retrospective study, we used an institutional arthroplasty registry to analyze data on 2010 primary arthroplasties (1446 knees and 564 hips) performed by one surgeon at a single institution. Cases from patients self-identifying as black (n = 105) and white (n = 1905) were compared (controlling for confounders, including age and ethnicity) on the following preoperative and postoperative patient-oriented outcomes: pain intensity/frequency as measured by a visual analog scale (VAS), Quality of Well-Being (QWB-7), SF-36, and WOMAC scores. T-tests, chi square, and multivariate analysis of covariance were used. Alpha was set at 0.05. Postoperative analysis was performed only on those cases that had a minimum followup of 1 year (mean, 3.5 years; range, 1–9 years). Of the 2010 arthroplasties, 37% (39 of 105) of those cases performed in black patients and 64% (1219 of 1905) of those performed in white patients were included in the final postoperative model (multivariate analysis of covariance).Results
Black patients had more severe preoperative pain intensity (VAS: 8 ± 1.8 versus 8 ± 2.0, mean difference = 0.76 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.34–1.1], p < 0.001). Black patients also had worse well-being scores (QWB-7: 0.527 ± 0.04 versus 0.532 ± 0.05, mean difference = −0.01 [CI, −0.02 to 0.00], p = 0.037). Postoperatively, pain intensity (VAS: 1 ± 3.1 versus 1 ± 1.8, mean difference= 0.8 [CI, 0.19–1.4], p= 0.010) and (QWB-7: 0.579 ± 0.09 versus 0.607 ± 0.11, mean difference= −0.049 [CI, −0.08 to −0.01], p = 0.008) were different but without clinical significance.Conclusions
Black patients underwent surgery earlier in life and with different preoperative diagnoses when compared with white patients. Black patients had worse preoperative baseline pain, well-being, general health, and disease-specific scores as well as worse postoperative scores. However, these differences were very narrow and without clinical significance. Notwithstanding, the relations of race with outcomes remain complex. Further investigations to recognize disparities and minimize or address them are warranted.Level of Evidence

The acetabular component orientation of total hip arthroplasty is of critical importance to the clinical results. Although navigation systems have recently been introduced, acetabular component alignment guides are still used in most of ordinary hospitals. However, the accuracy of alignment guides themselves has not been evaluated. Fifteen types of alignment guide were examined. In all the alignment guides, the angles actually indicated and those stated by manufacturers were different. Our results showed that usage of modern alignment guides inherently misleads anteversion into decrease by a mean of 6° (maximum, 12°) and inclination into increase by a mean of 2° (maximum: 4°). Such setting of alignment guides could be one of the factors of error in acetabular component orientation. 相似文献

BackgroundThe majority of the cost analysis literature on total hip arthroplasties (THAs) has been focused around the perioperative and postoperative period, with preoperative costs being overlooked.MethodsThe Humana Administrative Claims database was used to identify Medicare Advantage (MA) and Commercial beneficiaries undergoing elective primary THAs. Preoperative healthcare resource utilization in the year prior to a THA was grouped into the following categories: office visits, X-rays, magnetic resonance imagings, computed tomography scans, intra-articular steroid and hyaluronic acid injections, physical therapy, and pain medications. Total 1-year costs and per-patient average reimbursements for each category have been reported.ResultsTotal 1-year preoperative costs amounted to $21,022,883 (average = $512/patient) and $4,481,401 (average = $764/patient) for MA and Commercial beneficiaries, respectively. The largest proportion of total 1-year costs was accounted for by office visits (35% in Commercial; 41% in MA) followed by pain medications (28% in Commercial; 35% in MA). Conservative treatments (steroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections, physical therapy, and pain medications) alone accounted for 40%-44% of the total 1-year costs prior to a THA. A high healthcare utilization within the last 3 months prior to surgery was noted for opioids and steroid injections.ConclusionOn average, $500-$800/patient is spent on hip osteoarthritis-related care in the year prior to a THA. Despite their potential risks, opioids and steroid injections are often utilized in the last 3 months prior to surgery. 相似文献

BackgroundMorbidly obese patients have increased rates of complications following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and it is not clear whether improvements in THA care pathways are equally benefitting these patients. The purpose of this study is to assess if reductions in complications have similarly improved for both morbidly obese and non-morbidly obese patients after THA.MethodsPatients undergoing primary THA between 2011 and 2019 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients were stratified by body mass index (BMI) <40 and ≥40 kg/m2. Thirty-day rates of infectious complications, readmissions, reoperation, and any complication were assessed. Trends in complications were compared utilizing odds ratios and multivariate analyses.ResultsIn total, 234,334 patients underwent THA and 16,979 (7.8%) had BMI ≥40 kg/m2. Patients with BMI ≥40 kg/m2 were at significantly higher odds for readmission, reoperation, and infectious complications. Odds for any complication were lower for morbidly obese patients in 2011, not different from 2012 to 2014, and higher from 2015 to 2019 compared to lower BMI patients. Odds for any non-transfusion complication were higher for morbidly obese patients and there was no improvement for either group over the study period. There were improvements in rates of readmission and reoperation for patients with BMI <40 kg/m2 and readmission for BMI >40 kg/m2.ConclusionOdds for readmission and reoperation for non-morbidly obese patients and readmission for morbidly obese patients improved from 2011 to 2019. Reductions in transfusions are largely responsible for improvements in overall complication rates. Although morbidly obese patients remain at higher risk for complications, there does not appear to be a growing disparity in outcomes between morbidly obese and non-morbidly obese patients. 相似文献

Background
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of prior bariatric surgery on survivorship, outcome, and complications following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)/total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods
Using the Medicare 5% part B data from 1999 to 2012, we analyzed patients who underwent primary THA (n = 47,895) and primary TKA (n = 86,609). Patients with prior bariatric surgery before arthroplasty were compared to patients with other common metabolic conditions. Kaplan-Meier risk of revision THA/TKA for those with and without bariatric surgery and each of the metabolic bone conditions was calculated. The risk for infection was also evaluated. Regression analysis was used to determine the relative risk of revision at various time intervals for those with and without each of the metabolic conditions. Analysis was also adjusted for the metabolic conditions, age, gender, socioeconomic status, and Charlson comorbidity index.Results
The prevalence of patients with prior bariatric surgery within 24 months of primary THA/TKA was 0.1%. Benchmarked against other common chronic metabolic conditions, bariatric surgery prior to THA was not associated with an increased risk for revision surgery at all measured intervals but positively correlated with increased risk for developing infections. Conversely, patients undergoing primary TKA following bariatric surgery were at increased risk for revision compared to controls but not at increased risk for infection.Conclusion
The impact of bariatric surgery prior to elective THA/TKA remains unclear. These patients remain at increased risk for infections following THA and revisions following TKA. 相似文献19.

Background
Safety data for outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains scarce.Methods
The present study retrospectively reviews prospectively collected data from the 2005-2014 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database. Patients who underwent THA were categorized by day of hospital discharge to be outpatient (length of stay [LOS] 0 days) or inpatient (LOS 1-5 days). Those with extended LOS beyond 5 days were excluded. To account for baseline nonrandom assignment between the study groups, propensity score matching was used. The propensity matched populations were then compared with multivariate Poisson regression to compare the relative risks of adverse events during the initial 30 postoperative days including readmission.Results
A total of 63,844 THA patients were identified. Of these, 420 (0.66%) were performed as outpatients and 63,424 (99.34%) had LOS 1-5 days. Outpatients tended to be younger, male, and to have fewer comorbidities. After propensity score matching, outpatients had no difference in any of 18 adverse events evaluated other than blood transfusion, which was less for outpatients than those with a LOS of 1-5 days (3.69% vs 9.06%, P < .001).Conclusion
After adjusting for potential confounders using propensity score matching and multivariate logistic regression, patients undergoing outpatient THA were not at greater risk of 30 days adverse events or readmission than those that were performed as inpatient procedures. Based on the general health outcome measures assessed, this data supports the notion that outpatient THA can appropriately be considered in appropriately selected patients. 相似文献20.

BackgroundTraditional principles for successful outcomes in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) have relied largely on placing the socket in the native position and trying to restore static anatomical femoral parameters gauged on X-rays or intra-operative measurement. Stability is conventionally achieved by making appropriate changes during the time of trial reduction. Post-operative complications of dislocation and significant Limb Length Discrepancy (LLD) requiring foot wear modification represents opposite ends of the spectrum from a biomechanical perspective and these continue to be relatively high. A move towards giving more importance to functional dynamic parameters rather than static anatomical parameters and less reliance on stability testing at trial reduction is warranted.MethodsIntraoperative 3D functional balancing of THA without stability testing at trial reduction was practiced in all subjects undergoing THA in our unit from April 2014. To date 1019 patients have had their hips replaced with the same technique. They were followed up till April 2020 for post-operative complications of dislocation and significant LLD needing footwear modification. A secondary cohort of 114 patients from 1st January to December 31st 2017 within this primary group were analyzed clinically and radiologically to ascertain the implications of functional 3D balancing on X-ray parameters, clinical outcome scores (Harris Hip Score and Oxford Hip Score), ability to squat, and subtle subjective post-operative perception of limb lengthening (POPLL).ResultsIn the primary group of 1019 patients, there were only two dislocations and no patient needed footwear modification for LLD. In the detailed analysis of the secondary cohort of 114 patients, the correlation with restoration of static radiological parameters was inconsistent. 40 patients could not squat and 4 patients had subtle subjective post-operative perceived limb lengthening (POPLL). Measured outcomes such as HHS and OHS were improved in all patients with significant statistical significance (P < 0.001).ConclusionThis study underlines the fact that more importance must be given to functional dynamic parameters by 3D balancing of the THA and not on static anatomical X-rays parameters and stability testing during trial reduction. This represents a paradigm shift in the evolution of total hip arthroplasty.Level of EvidenceA Level II study.
