人工全髋关节置换术后股骨应力变化的有限元分析

目的：建立全髋关节置换术后股骨的有限元模型，探讨应力变化的特点、规律，为临床应用提供参考。方法：用有限元计算法对不同设计的人工全部关节假体在骨内应力分布规律进行分析。结果：①正常股骨压应力主要分布在股骨内侧面，有托式无骨水泥型人工假体压应力主要分布在人工假体柄与股骨内侧皮质的交界面，有骨水泥型人工假体主要分布在骨水泥与假体交界面上。②有托式无骨水泥型在股骨内侧皮质应力比有骨水泥型小。③假体长度增加，假体末端应力略有减少。结论：人工关节置换术后较正常股骨应力发生改变，骨水泥对应有缓冲作用，增加假体长度应力减少不显著。     

Linkage guide for rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty

A linkage guide was devised for use in conjunction with knee arthroplasty instruments to achieve proper component rotation. The femoral component was rotationally aligned to the surgical epicondylar axis using one guide. The other guides were used after all bone surfaces were cut and soft tissue balancing was completed. A Kirschner wire was guided into the proximal tibial aspect parallel to the sagittal plane of the femoral component with the patella in its normal position and the knee in full extension. The wire was used as a reference to determine tibial component rotation. The relative rotational alignment of 21 knees in 19 patients who had undergone cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty utilizing this guide was assessed using the modified Eckhoff method. The results of radiographic analysis were compared with those in a control group of 25 knees where the guide was not employed. The external rotation of the femoral component relative to the tibial component was 1.3° ± 2.0° (mean ± SD) in the guided group and 1.1° ± 4.4° in the control group. The relative rotational angle was significantly more consistent using the guide. Implant malrotation can be reduced using our technique.     

Patello-femoral complications associated with total knee arthroplasty

The patello-femoral articulation accounts for a significant number of the complications that occur after total knee replacements and which require re-operation. These include problems with stability, component wear, fracture, loosening, and osteonecrosis. With careful attention to prosthetic design and surgical technique, these complications can be minimized.

Digital subtraction arthrography in preoperative evaluation of painful total hip arthroplasty

 Objective. The objective of this clinical study was to define the diagnostic value of plain radiography, digital subtraction arthrography and two-phase bone scintigraphy in patients with clinically loose or infected hip prostheses. Design. Digital subtraction arthrograms, scintigrams and plain radiographs of 70 consecutive patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty were scored individually and in masked fashion for the presence or absence of features indicating loosening of femoral and/or acetabular components. The operative findings acted as the gold standard. Results. Digital subtraction arthrography was best (P<0.001) for predicting a loose acetabular component, while no significant additional predictive value was found for plain radiographs (P=0.24) and scintigraphy (P=0.27). Digital subtraction arthrography was also the most important modality for predicting a loose femoral component (P=0.001), while the plain radiograph was of significant (P=0.04) additional value and scintigraphy was of no additional value (P=0.13) on multivariate analysis. Conclusion. Digital subtraction arthrography gives the best results in the prediction of loosening of acetabular and femoral components. Plain radiographs give additional information on loosening of the femoral component, but scintigraphy offers no additional advantage.

Comparison of the biomechanical effect of posterior condylar offset and kinematics between posterior cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Background

The effect of the changes in the femoral posterior condylar offset (PCO) on anterior–posterior (AP) translation and internal–external (IE) rotation in cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematics in CR and PS TKA with respect to the difference in prosthetic design and PCO change through a computational simulation.

Subchondroplasty in the treatment of bone Marrow lesion in early Knee Osteoarthritis: A systematic review of clinical and radiological outcomes

BackgroundKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is increasingly prevalent in North American society. The significant societal burden it represents makes it essential to promote and target new treatments in earlier phases of the disease. Among others, subchondroplasty is a newly documented technique using calcium phosphate injection targeting the osteochondral lesions preceding KOA, also known as Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs). This article aimed to review the existing literature on clinical and radiological outcomes of subchondroplasty in the treatment of BMLs in KOA.MethodA systematic review was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Studies on calcium phosphate injections into BMLs for KOA and its clinical and radiological outcomes were screened and reviewed by independent evaluators.ResultsAfter screening, ten articles were included, totaling 540 patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Overall, the procedure showed significant functional and quality of life improvement, as well as pain relief, as shown by Patients-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs). There were very few complications reported, the most important being leakage of calcium phosphate outside the targeted site. Conversion rate to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) ranged from 14 % to 30 % at 2 years post-procedure. Long term radiological outcomes have been poorly documented.ConclusionsSubchondroplasty is a promising avenue for the treatment of KOA. However, quality evidence is still required before any real conclusions and practical management guidelines can be drawn. Prospective, randomized studies with a control group and a rigorous assessment of long-term clinical and radiological outcomes are recommended.     

CR-lipped bearing is an adequate functional solution to patients with perioperative excessive laxity in cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty

BackgroundThe cruciate retaining lipped (CR-lipped) bearing is designed to provide more anterior-posterior (AP) stability and could be employed to resolve excessive intraoperative laxity during the cruciate retaining TKA (CR-TKA). The aim of the study was to determine whether the CR-lipped bearing in CR-TKAs with a perioperative excessive laxity allows equivalent functional results as compared to the standard CR articulation.MethodsA cohort of 111 TKAs with CR-lipped bearings was matched to a cohort of conventional CR bearings regarding age and sex. The CR-lipped bearing was used in patients with excessive knee AP laxity and the regular CR bearing was used in patients without excessive AP laxity during TKA. Various PROMs (WOMAC, KSS, SF-36) were assessed preoperatively and at 5-years postoperative in combination with revision rate and Range of Motion (ROM).ResultsPROMs did not differ significantly between both groups 5-years postoperatively. Mean ROM (flexion) 5-years postoperatively was not significantly different. The implant survivorship was 100% for both cohorts with revision for any reason as end point.ConclusionBased on these results, the CR-lipped bearing is a safe and effective solution for mild interoperatively assessed PCL laxity during CR-TKA without loss of function or decreased survivorship at 5 years. Peroperative conversion to a PS-TKA in order to obtain satisfactory functional scores might therefore not be necessary when mild PCL laxity is observed during surgery. Further research should focus on verifying this approach and longer follow-up is needed to generate data on long term survivorship.Level of evidenceLevel IV therapeutic, retrospective, cohort study.

Anatomic basis of the transgluteal approach to the hip-joint by anterior hemimyotomy of the gluteus medius

The authors present a study of the intrinsic anatomy of the gluteus medius m. and of its innervation through the caudal branch of the superior gluteal n. The existence of an intramuscular tendon in the thickness of the gluteus medius was constantly prooved in 40 muscles. The relations of the intrinsic fibrous structure of the muscle and its innervation were studied. The authors deduce from that the topography of a gluteus medius incision, with respect to a safety area towards its innervation, which leads to an exposure of the acetabulum that is satisfying and gives opportunities of a sound repair after the surgery of the hip joint through the transgluteal approach. They propose the anterior hemimyotomy of the gluteus medius m designation.
