Cirrhosis is independently associated with complications and mortality following operative treatment of acetabular fractures

IntroductionPatients with cirrhosis are at higher risk for morbidity after injury. Acetabular fractures represent a highly morbid injury pattern. Few studies have specifically examined an effect of cirrhosis on risk of complications after acetabular fracture. We hypothesized that cirrhosis is independently associated with increased risk of inpatient complications following operative treatment of acetabular fractures.MethodsAdults patients with acetabular fracture who underwent operative treatment were identified from Trauma Quality Improvement Program data from 2015 to 2019. Patients with and without cirrhosis were matched on a propensity score predicting cirrhotic status and inpatient complications based on patient, injury, and treatment characteristics. The primary outcome was overall complication rate. Secondary outcomes included serious adverse event rate, overall infection rate, and mortality.ResultsAfter propensity score matching, 137 cirrhosis+ and 274 cirrhosis- remained. No significant differences existed in observed characteristics after matching. Compared to cirrhosis- patients, cirrhosis+ patients experienced 43.4% (83.9 vs 40.5%, p < 0.001) greater absolute risk difference of any inpatient complication, 29.9% (51.8 vs 21.9%, p < 0.001) greater absolute risk difference of serious adverse events, 28.5% (41.6 vs 13.1%, p < 0.001) greater absolute risk difference of any infection, and 2.9% (2.9% vs 0.0%, p = 0.02) greater absolute risk difference of inpatient mortality.ConclusionCirrhosis is associated with higher rates of inpatient complications, serious adverse events, infection, and mortality among patients undergoing operative repair of acetabular fracture.Level of EvidencePrognostic Level III.     

Complications in patients of acetabular fractures and the factors affecting the quality of reduction in surgically treated cases

IntroductionAcetabulum fractures, though relatively uncommon, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These involve high energy trauma and due to their complex nature, the management requires understanding the relevant surgical anatomy, defining the injury via appropriate radiographic assessment and determining a suitable treatment plan. Literature is scarce for the demographic data, fracture patterns, associated injuries, management and early complications in the Indian scenario. These factors play a pivotal role in the ultimate recovery of the patients. Therefore this study was conceptualised to assess the epidemiology and evaluate the complications of these fractures. Furthermore the effects of various factors determining the quality of reduction in surgically treated patients were also assessed.MethodologyThis was a prospective observational study in which patients presenting to the advance trauma centre of our institute with acetabulum fractures were included. Demographical data of the patients, mechanisms of injuries, fractures morphologies, complications and radiological outcomes were recorded prospectively.Results116 patients with acetabular fractures were included in the study. 81% of these were males, with average age of 39.95 ± 15.87 years; with road traffic accidents being the predominant mode of injuries. Mortality was reported in 5 patients; 4 patients had deep venous thrombosis and sciatic nerve injuries were seen in 12 patients of which 4 were iatrogenic. 8 patients had some form of infection, out of which 4 required multiple debridements. 4 cases developed heterotrophic ossification while 2 cases had loss of reduction. The timing of surgery and other associated fractures had significant effect on the quality of reduction (p < 0.05); while age, gender, mode of injury or individual fracture patterns had no such effect.ConclusionsProper radiological assessment and evaluation of fracture configuration is important for management of acetabulum fractures. When indicated, this should be followed by early open reduction and internal fixation to achieve anatomical reduction, with management of associated injuries for better outcomes.

陈旧性髋臼骨折治疗进展

髋臼骨折是一种暴力机制复杂 ,移位方式多样 ,常伴有股骨头脱位 ,治疗困难的严重关节内骨折 ,常因处理不当而并发创伤性关节炎。目前国内外对于陈旧性髋臼骨折的治疗方法还存在一些不同看法 ,在此将已达成的共识与仍存在的分歧综述如下。1　治疗方法选择陈旧性髋臼骨折治疗的目的与其他关节内骨折一样 ,不仅是使股骨头回纳到髋臼负重区 ,并要恢复关节面的完整 ,尤其是髋臼负重面[1,2 ] 。过去曾采用牵引等非手术疗法 ,仅重视股骨头的复位 ,却很难使髋臼骨折达到理想复位 ,多数情况根本不可能。目前大多数学者认为除了以下几种情况外 ,陈旧性…     

Contact finite element stress analysis of porous ingrowth acetabular cup implantation, ingrowth, and loosening

Two-dimensional linear and contact finite element analyses were conducted of total hip arthroplasty using metal-backed, porous ingrowth acetabular components. The stress transmission characteristics from the component to the surrounding bone were given special attention. Resultant loads of 20 and 40 degrees medial of vertical were studied, and the influence of adding a metal flange to the rim of the cup was evaluated. The results indicated that when a conventional metal-backed component (without a flange) is initially implanted and subjected to normal loading, these components may experience distraction between the component and the surrounding bone at inferior sites. Compressive stresses in the superior dome cancellous bone, however, will be substantial. If complete porous ingrowth is achieved, the superior dome compressive stresses will be reduced and substantial shear stresses created. In addition, high local bone stresses were found at the component rim. If bone ingrowth is achieved only in specific locations, stress transmission will be dictated by those locations and may differ markedly from the case of complete bone ingrowth. In the event that no porous ingrowth is achieved and a fibrous layer forms around the component, the interface stresses will be similar to those calculated for the natural hip. The addition of a flange to the rim of the cup will reduce the magnitude of the radial stresses transmitted to the cancellous bone superiorly and medially by directly transferring some of the load to the lateral wall of the pelvis. The flange will also help to relieve the high local stresses that are found at the component rim.     

机械应力对幼鼠髋臼发育影响的实验研究

目的阐明异常机械应力对髋臼发育和髋臼软骨生长板内软骨细胞增殖的影响,探讨髋臼发育不良的修复方法。方法将60只3周龄的雌性Wistar大鼠分成3组,每组20只,左侧髋关节为实验侧,右侧为对照侧。A组:在2周内反复将髋关节手法脱位后再复位;B组:膝关节伸直位钢针固定,制作髋臼发育不良的动物模型,2周后拔出钢针;C组:持续伸直位固定膝关节。三组动物分别于第5、7、9、12周时进行钼靶软X线、组织形态学及透射电镜观察。结果A组第5周时唇缘变钝,髋臼角比对侧增大约5°,软骨生长板内增殖层软骨细胞极向紊乱,SO染色无差异,圆韧带有淋巴细胞浸润,第7、9、12周时变化小,两侧无差异;B组第5周时髋臼角比对侧明显增大,第7周时唇缘变钝、内翻,纤维增生,柱状细胞极性紊乱,肥大细胞层增多,第9、12周时接近正常,12周时髋臼角为23.4°,髋臼入口最短径为5.0mm;C组髋臼角比对侧持续增大,没有任何改善倾向,第12周时唇缘内翻、扁平,无明显柱状细胞排列,细胞核变小,细胞器减少,空泡形成,髋臼角为71.3°,髋臼入口最短径为2.9mm。结论在髋臼发育旺盛期解除异常机械应力、恢复头臼同心,髋臼发育不良有治愈倾向。造成髋臼发育不良的直接原因是软骨生长板内增殖层软骨细胞代谢功能发生改变,骨化延迟。
