Three-dimensional finite element analysis of intramedullary nail with different materials in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures

Intramedullary nails are the common treatment options for femoral intertrochanteric fractures. However, aseptic loosening is considered to be one of the primary forms of failure that can be caused by the stress shielding between the bone and implants. The matching in mechanical properties of implant and bone is a key issue to prevent this failure. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Function-graded (FG) materials are widely used in clinical because of their excellent mechanical properties. In this study, to investigate the biomechanical behaviors of intramedullary nails made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, Stainless Steel (SS), PEEK and two FG materials, three-dimensional finite element models of intertrochanteric fracture femur with intramedullary nail were constructed with ABAQUS. The maximum von Mises stress on the femoral fracture surface fixed by PEEK intramedullary nail was the largest, followed by FG intramedullary nail, which help stimulate bone growth and subsequently reduce fracture healing time. Compared with traditional metal intramedullary nails, PEEK and FG implants might increase von Mises stress along the same path in the proximal femur. The results showed that PEEK and FG intramedullary nails obviously changed the stress distributions in the bone and reduced stress shielding. This finding indicated that PEEK and FG intramedullary nails have the potential to become alternatives to the conventional metal intramedullary nails.     

Incidence,risk factors and clinical implications of postoperative urinary tract infection in geriatric hip fractures

IntroductionPostoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) is common in geriatric patients; however, little is known about the impact of UTI in orthopedic trauma. The present study was designed to determine the risk factors and clinical impact of postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI) in acute geriatric hip fractures.Patients and methodsGeriatric patients (≥65 years of age) undergoing hip fracture surgery were identified within the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program between 2016 and 2019. Patients presenting with UTI at the time of surgery were excluded. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients with and without postoperative UTI. Multivariate logistic regression was performed, controlling for potential confounders.ResultsA total of 46,263 patients included in the study. Overall, 1,397 (3.02%) patients had postoperative UTI. Patients who developed postoperative UTI had higher rates of pneumonia (6.44% vs. 3.76%, p < 0.001), DVT (2.22% vs. 1.04%, p < 0.001), sepsis (7.73% vs. 0.62%, p < 0.001), and more frequently experienced postoperative hospital lengths of stay exceeding 6 days (37.94% vs. 20.33%, p < 0.001). Hospital readmission occurred more frequently in patients with postoperative UTI (24.55% vs. 7.85%, p < 0.001), but surprisingly, these patients had a lower mortality rate (1.36% vs. 2.2%, p < 0.001). Adjusted analysis demonstrated the following variables associated with postoperative UTI: age ≥ 85 (OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.08 - 1.73), ASA class ≥ 3 (OR = 1.59, 95%CI = 1.21 – 2.08,), chronic steroid use (OR = 1.451, 95%CI = 1.05 - 1.89), blood transfusion (OR = 1.24, 95%CI = 1.05 - 1.48), and >2 days delay from admission to operation (OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.05 - 1.79). Postoperative UTI was significantly associated with sepsis (OR = 7.65, 95%CI = 5.72 – 10.21), postoperative length of stay >2 days (OR = 1.83, 95%CI = 1.07 – 3.13), and readmission (OR = 3, 95%CI = 2.54 – 3.55).ConclusionsIn our study, postoperative UTI was found in 3% of geriatric hip fracture patients. Predictors of postoperative UTI were age ≥ 85, ASA class ≥ 3, chronic steroid use, blood transfusion, and time to operation > 2 days from admission. Results showed that postoperative UTI is independently associated with sepsis, postoperative length of stay beyond 2 days, and hospital readmission. To diminish the risk of UTI and its consequences, we recommend operating geriatric hip fractures in 24–48 hours after admission.     

Necroptotic TNFα-Syndecan 4-TNFα Vicious Cycle as a Therapeutic Target for Preventing Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a chronic degenerative disease for which the underlying mechanism still remains unclear. Compared with apoptosis and autophagy, necroptosis causes greater harm to tissue homeostasis by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). However, the role of necroptosis and downstream key DAMPs in TMJOA is unknown. Here, rodent models of TMJOA were established by the unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunohistochemistry of receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)/phosphorylation of mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (pMLKL) were conducted to evaluate the occurrence of necroptosis in vivo. The therapeutic effects of blocking necroptosis were achieved by intra-articularly injecting RIPK3 or MLKL inhibitors and using RIPK3 or MLKL knockout mice. In vitro necroptosis of condylar chondrocyte was induced by combination of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases (SMAC) mimetics and carbobenzoxy-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-[O-methyl]- fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk). The possible DAMPs released by necroptotic chondrocytes were screened by quantitative proteomics and blocked by specific antibody. Translucent cytosol, swollen organelles, and ruptured cell membranes, features of necroptosis, were frequently manifested in chondrocytes at the early stage of condylar cartilage degeneration in TMJOA, which was accompanied by upregulation of RIPK3/pMLKL. Inhibiting or knocking out RIPK3/MLKL significantly prevented cartilage degeneration. DAMPs released by necroptotic condylar chondrocytes, such as syndecan 4 (SDC4) and heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), were verified. Furthermore, blocking the function of SDC4 significantly attenuated the expression of TNFα in cartilage and synovium, and accordingly increased cartilage thickness and reduced synovial inflammation. Thus, the necroptotic vicious cycle of TNFα-SDC4-TNFα contributes to cartilage degeneration and synovitis, and can serve as a potential therapeutic target for treating TMJOA. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).
