Background

The optimal treatment for patients with symptomatic hip dysplasia presenting with labral tear is unknown. Although femoroacetabular osteoplasty (FAO) has excellent outcome for most femoroacetabular impingement patients, the presence of concomitant hip dysplasia has been implicated as an adverse prognostic factor. This study evaluated the outcome of FAO in a group of dysplastic hips and compared the outcome to a cohort of patients without dysplasia.

Methods

Seventy-three patients (38 males, 35 females) with hip dysplasia who underwent FAO between 2007 and 2015 were identified. The minimum 2-year clinical, functional (modified Harris Hip Score and Short-Form 36 Health Survey), and radiological outcome was compared with 550 patients without dysplasia who underwent FAO by the same surgeon. The preoperative and postoperative alpha angle, Tonnis grade, joint space, and presence of chondral lesion were determined and compared. Conversion to total hip arthroplasty or revision FAO was considered as treatment failure.

Results

The mean age in the dysplasia cohort was 30.7 ± 11.8 years compared to 34.5 ± 11.2 in the nondysplastic group. The mean follow-up was 4.3 years for dysplasia cohort and 4.1 for the nondysplastic group. The mean modified Harris Hip Score and Short-Form 36 Health Survey6 was significantly lower in the dysplastic group at 75.1 and 74.3 compared to 83.4 and 85.6 for the comparison group. There was a higher percentage of failure at 28.8% among dysplasia patients compared to 2.5% in the nondysplastic group.

Conclusion

Although labral repair and FAO may be an option for patients with hip dysplasia, the outcome in this population appears to be less optimal compared to femoroacetabular impingement patients with no evidence of dysplasia. Labral repair and osteoplasty should be limited to those with mild and borderline dysplasia.  相似文献

Background

Due to anterior bone defects, high and/or posterior placement of an acetabular cup is often required to achieve sufficient coverage in patients with hip dysplasia. We examined whether posterior cup placement affected the postoperative range of motion (ROM) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

Using computer software, bone coverage and ROM were examined in 32 patients with unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip with Crowe type II or III hip dysplasia. We determined the cup position to satisfy cup center-edge (Cup-CE) angle ≥0° and the required ROM. The cup was placed at the anatomic hip center and moved in 2-mm increments anteroposteriorly and 10-mm increments vertically.

Results

At vertical anatomic hip center, less than 68.8% hips fulfilled Cup-CE ≥0° regardless of anteroposterior position. Significantly more hips at higher hip center with posterior cup placement achieved Cup-CE ≥0° than hips at vertical anatomic hip center, and 10 mm higher hip center was the most suitable for achieving bone coverage. However, posterior and superior cup placement significantly decreased the flexion and IR due to early bone impingement, whereas ER and extension were not affected. A smoothing spline curve demonstrated that more posterior cup placement than 4.8 mm and 3.6 mm did not satisfy the required ROM at 10 mm and 20 mm higher hip center, respectively.

Conclusions

Posterosuperior cup placement gained more bone coverage but decreased the range of hip flexion and internal rotation. Consequently, posterosuperior cup placement did not satisfy the required ROM.  相似文献

Background

Value-based payment models such as bundled payments have been introduced to reduce costs following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Concerns exist, however, about access to care for patients who utilize more resources. The purpose of this study is thus to compare resource utilization and outcomes of patients undergoing THA for malignancy with those undergoing THA for fracture or osteoarthritis.

Methods

We queried the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to identify all hip arthroplasties performed from 2013 to 2016 for a primary diagnosis of malignancy (n = 296), osteoarthritis (n = 96,480), and fracture (n = 13,406). The rates of readmissions, reoperations, comorbidities, mortality, and surgical characteristics were compared between the 3 cohorts. To control for confounding variables, a multivariate analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for resource utilization and outcomes following THA.

Results

Patients undergoing THA for malignancy had a longer mean operative time (155.7 vs 82.9 vs 91.0 minutes, P < .001), longer length of stay (9.0 vs 7.2 vs 2.6 days, P < .001), and were more likely to be discharged to a rehabilitation facility (42.1% vs 61.8% vs 20.2%, P < .001) than patients with fracture or osteoarthritis. When controlling for demographics and comorbidities, patients undergoing THA for malignancy had a higher rate of readmission (adjusted odds ratio 3.39, P < .001) and reoperation (adjusted odds ratio 3.71, P < .001).

Conclusion

Patients undergoing THA for malignancy utilize more resources in an episode-of-care and have worse outcomes. Risk adjustment is necessary for oncology patients in order to prevent access to care problems for these high-risk patients.  相似文献

Background

Femoral prosthesis design may impact the frequency of mid-thigh pain. We compared current, incidental, and persistent mid-thigh pain between the short-stem, Collum Femoris femur prosthesis, and the wedge shaped straight-stem, Zweymüller femur prosthesis and studied the associations between demographics, radiographic measurements, and mid-thigh pain.

Methods

We contacted patients from a randomized controlled trial who underwent uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip osteoarthritis at a mean follow-up of 44 months (range 24-64 months). Patients were specifically assessed for current (during assessment), incidental (any time postoperatively for >1 week) mid-thigh pain, and persistent (any time postoperatively for >2 years) mid-thigh pain. Furthermore, we used regression analysis to study associations between demographics, radiographic measurements, and mid-thigh pain.

Results

One hundred forty of 150 patients (93%) responded to our assessment. Mean age at the time of operation was 62 years (±7.0). Current mid-thigh pain occurred in 16 patients (23%) in the Collum Femoris Preserving (CFP) group compared with 10 patients (14%) in the Zweymüller group (P = .192). Incidental mid-thigh pain occurred in 24 patients (34%) in the CFP group compared with 15 patients (21%) in the Zweymüller group (P = .090). Persistent mid-thigh pain was found in 13 patients (19%) in the CFP group compared with five patients (7%) in the Zweymüller group (P = .043). Varus malalignment (odds ratio 1.819 [95% confidence interval 1.034-3.200]) and leg lengthening (odds ratio 1.107 per cm lengthening [95% confidence interval 1.026-1.195]) showed significant associations with mid-thigh pain.

Conclusions

We found more persistent mid-thigh pain after short-stem uncemented THA compared to wedge-shaped straight-stem uncemented THA during medium-term follow-up. Varus malalignment and leg lengthening were associated with mid-thigh pain.  相似文献

Background

Acetabular component positioning is crucial to a successful total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study evaluated the effect of absolute acetabular component position as well as acetabular position relative to bony anatomy on patient-reported functional outcomes after primary THA.

Methods

Primary, press fit, hemispherical metal-on-polyethylene THA performed between 2003 and 2011 were analyzed. Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Short Form-12 scores, and radiographs between 2 and 3 years after the index procedure were assessed.

Results

Of the 1241 primary THA included, the mean abduction and anteversion angles were 44.4 ± 6.94 and 21.7 ± 11.9 degrees, respectively. The mean anterior and lateral overhang were 1.9 ± 3.6 and 2.5 ± 3.4 mm, respectively. There was no correlation between functional outcomes and acetabular inclination. A weak positive correlation between anteversion and HHS (P < .001) and WOMAC (P = .02) scores was found. For relative position, anterior overhang of the acetabular component beyond the bone resulted in inferior Short Form-12 physical function (P = .001), HHS (P = .004), and WOMAC (P < .001) scores compared to those with bony coverage. Mean HHS pain score was 41.20 ± 5.69 in patients with lateral overhang and 41.97 ± 5.04 in those who had bony coverage of the lateral edge of the acetabular component (P = .02).

Conclusion

The tribology and biomechanics of acetabular component position have been extensively studied without examination of how it affects patient function. Although statistical significance was seen, clinical outcome scores were not sensitive enough to show a clinically significant effect of the absolute or relative position of the acetabular component.  相似文献

Background

Patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) following lumbar spine fusion have an increased incidence of dislocation compared to those without prior lumbar fusion. The purpose of this study is to determine if timing of THA prior to or after lumbar fusion would have an effect on dislocation and revision incidence in patients with both hip and lumbar spine pathology.

Methods

One hundred percent Medicare inpatient claims data from 2005 to 2015 were used to compare dislocation and revision risks in patients with primary THA with pre-existing lumbar spine fusion vs THA with subsequent lumbar spine fusion within 1, 2, and 5 years after the index THA. A total of 42,300 patients met inclusion criteria, 28,668 patients of which underwent THA with pre-existing lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) and 13,632 patients who had prior THA and subsequent LSF. Patients who had THA first followed by LSF were further stratified based on the interval between index THA and subsequent LSF (1, 2, and 5 years), making 4 total groups for comparison. Multivariate cox regression analysis was performed adjusting for age, socioeconomic status, race, census region, gender, Charlson score, pre-existing conditions, discharge status, length of stay, and hospital characteristics.

Results

Patients with prior LSF undergoing THA had a 106% increased risk of dislocation compared to those with LSF done 5 years after THA (P < .001). Risk of revision THA was greater in the pre-existing LSF group by 43%, 41%, and 49% at 1, 2, and 5 years post THA compared to the groups with THA done first with subsequent LSF. Dislocation was the most common etiology for revision THA in all groups, but significantly higher in the prior LSF group (26.6%).

Conclusion

Results of this study demonstrate that sequence of surgical intervention for concomitant lumbar and hip pathology requiring LSF and THA respectively significantly impacts the fate of the THA performed. Patients with prior LSF undergoing THA are at significantly higher risk of dislocation and subsequent revision compared to those with THA first followed by delayed LSF.

Background

Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) need substantial amount of opioids for postoperative pain management, which necessitates opioid-sparing modalities. Dexmedetomidine is a novel alpha-2-adrenoceptor–activating drug for procedural sedation. In addition to its sedative effect, dexmedetomidine has analgesic and antiemetic effects. We evaluated retrospectively the effect of intraoperatively administered intranasal low-dose dexmedetomidine on postoperative opioid requirement in patients undergoing THA.

Methods

We included 120 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists status 1-2, age between 35 and 80 years, and scheduled for unilateral primary THA under general anesthesia with total intravenous anesthesia. Half of the patients received 50 μg of intranasal dexmedetomidine after anesthesia induction, while the rest were treated conventionally. Postoperative opioid requirements were calculated as morphine equivalent doses for both groups. The impact of intranasal dexmedetomidine on postoperative hemodynamics and length of stay was evaluated.

Results

The cumulative postoperative opioid requirement was significantly reduced in the dexmedetomidine group compared with the control group (26.3 mg, 95% confidence interval 15.6-36.4, P < .001). The cumulative dose was significantly different between the groups already at 12, 24, and 36 h postoperatively (P = .01; P = .001; P < .001, respectively). Dexmedetomidine group had lower mean arterial pressure in the postanesthesia care unit compared with the control group (P = .01). There was no difference in the postanesthesia care unit stay or postoperative length of stay between the two groups (P = .47; P = .10, respectively).

Conclusion

Compared with the control group, intraoperative use of intranasal low-dose dexmedetomidine decreases opioid consumption and sympathetic response during acute postoperative period in patients undergoing THA.  相似文献

Background

Although Medicaid expansion has improved access to primary care services, its impact on surgical specialty utilization remains unclear. The aim of this study is to determine whether Medicaid expansion is associated with increased utilization rates of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Illinois (which expanded Medicaid) relative to Missouri (which did not expand Medicaid).

Methods

Using administrative data sources, we analyzed 374,877 total hospitalizations (236,333 in Illinois and 138,544 in Missouri) for THA/TKA from 2011 to 2016 (Illinois’ Medicaid expansion date: January 1, 2014).

Results

The percentage of THA/TKA funded by Medicaid in Illinois was 2.4% in 2013 and 3.9% in 2016 (Missouri 2013: 2.7%; 2016: 2.6%). A difference-in-difference analysis (adjusted for patient age and gender, county-level Area Deprivation Index, and number of orthopedic surgeons) demonstrated a statistically significant increase in Medicaid-funded THA/TKA in Illinois in 2016 compared to 2013 (P = .012).

Conclusion

Our study demonstrates that Medicaid expansion in Illinois was associated with increased utilization of THA and TKA. Further study is needed to understand the impact of Medicaid expansion in other states and for other procedures.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study is to perform a meta-analysis to compare outcomes of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) vs other anticoagulants in patients who received total knee (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases were searched until June 30, 2017 for eligible randomized controlled studies.

Results

Thirty-two randomized controlled studies were included. LMWH provided better protection against VTE than placebo. In both TKA and THA patients, the rates of VTE were lower with factor Xa inhibitors than LMWH. In THA patients, the rate of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was lower with factor Xa inhibitors than LMWH. In TKA patients, the rates of VTE and DVT were similar between LMWH and direct thrombin inhibitors. In THA patients, the rate of VTE was lower with direct thrombin inhibitors than with LMWH, while the DVT rates were similar. The pulmonary embolism rates were similar between all 3 classes of drugs in TKA and THR patients, as were the major bleeding rates. Nonmajor and minor bleeding rates were also similar between the 3 drug classes.

Conclusion

LMWH is associated with a higher rate of VTE than factor Xa inhibitors in TKA and THA patients. Direct thrombin inhibitors are associated with a lower rate of VTE in THA patients, but their effectiveness with respect to DVT and pulmonary embolism prophylaxis is similar to that of LMWH in TKA and THA patients.  相似文献

Background

Obesity is a risk factor for acetabular component malposition when total hip arthroplasty is performed with manual techniques. The utility of imageless navigation in obese patients remains unknown. This study compared the accuracy and precision of imageless navigation for component orientation between obese and nonobese patients.

Methods

A total of 459 total hip arthroplasties performed for osteoarthritis using imageless navigation were reviewed from a single surgeon’s institutional review board–approved database. Einzel-Bild-Roentgen Analyse determined component orientation on 6-week postoperative anteroposterior radiographs. Mean orientation error (accuracy) and precision were compared between obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) and nonobese patients. Regression analysis evaluated the influence of obesity on component position.

Results

The difference in mean inclination and anteversion between obese and nonobese groups was 1.1° (43.0° ± 3.5°; range, 35.8°-57.8° vs 41.9° ± 4.4°; range, 33.0°-57.1° and 24.9° ± 6.3°; range, 14.2°-44.3° vs 23.8° ± 6.6°; range, 7.0°-38.6°, respectively). Inclination precision was better for nonobese patients. No difference in inclination accuracy or anteversion accuracy or precision was detected between groups. And 83% of components were placed within the target range. There was no relationship between obesity (dichotomized) and component placement outside the target ranges for inclination, anteversion, or both. As a continuous variable, increased body mass index correlated with higher odds of inclination outside the target zone (odds ratio, 1.06; P = .001).

Conclusion

Using imageless navigation, inclination orientation was less precise for obese patients, but the observed difference is likely not clinically relevant. Accurate superficial registration of landmarks in obese patients is achievable, and the use of imageless navigation similarly improves acetabular component positioning in obese and nonobese patients.

Background

Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) liners in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have demonstrated decreased wear rates, resilience to cup orientation, and reduced osteolysis compared to conventional polyethylene. Sequential irradiation and annealing below the melting temperature is unique compared to most HXLPE which is irradiated and remelted. This study purpose is to provide minimum 5-year femoral head penetration rates of sequentially annealed HXLPE in primary THA.

Methods

A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database identified 198 consecutive, cementless primary THAs utilizing sequentially annealed HXLPE (X3; Stryker, Mahwah, NJ). Operative technique was standardized. Radiographs were analyzed utilizing the Martell method with minimum 5-year and 1-year radiographs as baseline to minimize the initial bedding-in period.

Results

Seventy-seven hips with minimum 5-year follow-up were analyzed. Mean steady state linear and volumetric head penetration rates were 0.095 mm/y and 76 mm3/y, respectively. Volumetric head penetration was significantly less for 32-mm compared to 36-mm (P = .028). In addition, less head penetration was observed for ceramic 32-mm heads at nearly half the rate compared to cobalt-chromium 36-mm heads (P ≥ .092). No correlations existed between penetration rates and age, body mass index, University of California Los Angeles Activity Level, polyethylene thickness, cup inclination, or anteversion (P ≥ .10). No radiographic osteolysis was observed.

Conclusion

Surprisingly, linear head penetration rates of sequentially annealed HXLPE were nearly identical to the osteolysis threshold for conventional polyethylene and greater than reports of irradiated and remelted HXLPE. Furthermore, these data corroborate reports that HXLPE is resilient to cup orientation and demographic variables. Longer term follow-up is recommended.  相似文献

Background

Polymicrobial hip arthroplasty infections are a subset of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) with distinct challenges representing 10%-47% of PJI.

Methods

Records were reviewed from all PJIs involving partial or total hip arthroplasty with positive hip cultures between 2005 and 2015 in order to determine baseline characteristics and outcomes including treatment success, surgeries for infection, and days in hospital for infection. Analysis was restricted to patients who had at least 2 years of follow-up after their final surgery or hospitalization for infection. Factors with P-value less than .05 in univariate outcomes analysis were included in multivariable models.

Results

After multivariable analysis, 28 of 95 hip arthroplasty PJIs which were polymicrobial were associated with significantly lower treatment success, more surgery, and longer hospitalizations compared to PJIs which were not polymicrobial. Patients diagnosed with polymicrobial infection later in treatment (4 of 28) had the lowest treatment success rate, underwent the most surgery, and spent the longest time in hospital.

Conclusion

Polymicrobial periprosthetic hip infection is a particularly devastating complication of hip arthroplasty associated with decreased likelihood of treatment success, increased surgery for infection, and greater time in hospital. Patients with late polymicrobial infection had the worst outcomes. This investigation further characterizes the natural history of periprosthetic hip infections with more than one infectious organism. Patients who present with a subsequent polymicrobial infection should be educated that they have a particularly difficult treatment course and treatment success may not be possible.  相似文献

Background

Dislocation is a major complication following total hip arthroplasty, with risk factors such as surgical technique, implant positioning, and implant design. Literature has suggested the distance the femoral head must travel before dislocation to be a predictive factor of dislocation where smaller travel distance has increased dislocation risk. The purpose of this study was to compare 3 designs (hemispherical, metal-on-metal, and dual mobility [DM]) in terms of the dynamic dislocation distance and force required to dislocate.

Methods

This dynamic dislocation distance model used a material testing system that defined acetabular component inclination (30°, 45°, and 60°), anteversion angles (0°, 15°, and 30°), and pelvic tilt (5° [standing] and 26° [chair rise]). Testing groups included a hemispherical shell with a modular polyethylene liner and 32-mm head, a metal-on-metal hip resurfacing cup design with a 40-mm CoCr head, and a DM design with a 42-mm outside diameter articulating liner and an inner 28-mm articulating head.

Results

The dynamic dislocation distance of the DM hip was greater than that of the other designs for all inclination, anteversion, and pelvic tilt angles tested with the exception of 60° inclination/0° anteversion. At 26° pelvic tilt, it was observed that dislocation distance increased with greater anteversion and decreased with larger inclination.

Conclusion

Clinical results have shown the DM design may reduce dislocation. These data support those findings and suggest that if instability is a concern preoperatively or intraoperatively, using a DM implant increases the dynamic dislocation distance.  相似文献

Background

Many studies have examined strategies to reduce length of stay (LOS) after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but few have focused on modifiable patient-specific information in the acute postoperative period. This study investigates the determinants of LOS after THA, with a focus on potentially modifiable factors.

Methods

A total of 1278 patients undergoing elective THA from 2012 to 2014 were extracted from our institutional data warehouse at our academic orthopedic specialty hospital. Data were collected on patient demographics, comorbidities, inpatient opioid use, hypotensive events, and abnormalities in laboratory values, all occurring on postoperative day 0 or 1. The main outcome was hospital LOS. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for LOS over 3 days.

Results

The average age of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty in our cohort was 62.3 (standard deviation 10.7) years, and 52.7% were women. Eighty-one (6.3%) of 1278 patients had a LOS more than 3 days. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated several statistically significant nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors that influence LOS after THA. Nonmodifiable risk factors included nonwhite race (odds ratio [OR], 1.497), single marital status (OR, 1.724), increasing age (OR, 1.330), and increasing Charlson Comorbidity Index (OR, 1.411). Potentially modifiable risk factors included every 10 mg oral morphine equivalent consumption (1.069), every 5 postoperative hypotensive events (OR, 1.232), low hemoglobin (OR, 3.265), high glucose levels (OR, 1.887), and a high creatinine (OR, 2.874).

Conclusion

This study identifies potentially modifiable factors that are associated with increased LOS after THA, including postoperative opioid use and hypotensive events. Efforts to control narcotic use and initiatives aimed to reduce early postoperative hypotension could aid in reducing LOS. Furthermore, attempts should be made to correct postoperative anemia, high glucose levels, and a high creatinine level when possible.  相似文献

Background

Failure of metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) bearings is often accompanied by an aggressive local reaction associated with destruction of bone, muscle, and other soft tissues around the hip. Little is known about whether patient-reported physical and mental function following revision THA in MOM patients is compromised by this soft tissue damage, and whether revision of MOM THA is comparable with revision of hard-on-soft bearings such as metal-on-polyethylene (MOP).

Methods

We identified 75 first-time MOM THA revisions and compared them with 104 first-time MOP revisions. Using prospective patient-reported measures via the Veterans RAND-12, we compared Physical Component Score and Mental Component Score function at preoperative baseline and postoperative follow-up between revision MOM THA and revision MOP THA.

Results

Physical Component Score did not vary between the groups preoperatively and at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Mental Component Score preoperatively and 1 and 3 months postoperatively were lower in patients in the MOM cohort compared with patients with MOP revisions (baseline: 43.7 vs 51.3, P < .001; 1 month: 44.9 vs 53.3, P < .001; 3 months: 46.0 vs 52.3, P = .016). However, by 1 year, MCS scores were not significantly different between the revision cohorts.

Conclusion

Postrevision physical function in revised MOM THA patients does not differ significantly from the outcomes of revised MOP THA. Mental function is markedly lower in MOM patients at baseline and early in the postoperative period, but does not differ from MOP patients at 1 year after revision. This information should be useful to surgeons and physicians facing MOM THA revision.  相似文献

Background

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common reoperations after hip arthroscopy. Although arthroscopy causes changes in the hip joint and the surrounding soft tissues that can make THA more challenging, previous reports on arthroscopy before THA have not demonstrated any significant effect on clinical outcomes.

Methods

Patients who underwent a THA following an ipsilateral hip arthroscopy were matched to a control group of THA patients with no history of ipsilateral hip surgery. Matching criteria were age within 5 years, sex, body mass index within 5, surgical approach, and robotic assistance. Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score-12, visual analog scale score, satisfaction, and postoperative complication and reoperation rates were compared at minimum 2-year follow-up.

Results

Thirty-five THA after arthroscopy patients were successfully matched to control patients. There were no significant differences in demographics between study groups. The THA after arthroscopy group had significantly lower Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score-12, and satisfaction at latest follow-up. They had higher visual analog scale score and complication rate in differences that closely approached significance. There was no significant difference in reoperation rate.

Conclusion

A prior hip arthroscopy may adversely affect the clinical outcomes of THA. This potential risk should be considered when assessing the candidacy of a patient for hip arthroscopy.  相似文献

Background

Value-based payment programs in orthopedics, specifically primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), present opportunities to apply forecasting machine learning techniques to adjust payment models to a specific patient or population. The objective of this study is to (1) develop and validate a machine learning algorithm using preoperative big data to predict length of stay (LOS) and patient-specific inpatient payments after primary THA and (2) propose a risk-adjusted patient-specific payment model (PSPM) that considers patient comorbidity.

Methods

Using an administrative database, we applied 122,334 patients undergoing primary THA for osteoarthritis between 2012 and 16 to a naïve Bayesian model trained to forecast LOS and payments. Performance was determined using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and percent accuracy. Inpatient payments were grouped as <$12,000, $12,000-$24,000, and >$24,000. LOS was grouped as 1-2, 3-5, and 6+ days. Payment model uncertainty was applied to a proposed risk-based PSPM.

Results

The machine learning algorithm required age, race, gender, and comorbidity scores (“risk of illness” and “risk of morbidity”) to demonstrate excellent validity, reliability, and responsiveness with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.87 and 0.71 for LOS and payment. As patient complexity increased, error for predicting payment increased in tiers of 3%, 12%, and 32% for moderate, major, and extreme comorbidities, respectively.

Conclusion

Our preliminary machine learning algorithm demonstrated excellent construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness predicting LOS and payment prior to primary THA. This has the potential to allow for a risk-based PSPM prior to elective THA that offers tiered reimbursement commensurate with case complexity.

Background

Opioids have been the mainstay of treatment in the physiologically young geriatric hip fracture patient undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). However opioid-related side effects increase morbidity. Regional anesthesia may provide better analgesia, while decreasing opioid-related side effects. The goal of this study was to examine the effect of perioperative continuous femoral nerve blockade with regards to pain scores, opioid-related side effects and posthospital disposition in hip fracture patients undergoing THA.

Methods

Twenty-nine consecutive geriatric hip fracture patients (22 women/7 men) underwent THA. Average follow-up was 8.3 months (6 weeks-39 months). Fifteen patients were treated with standard analgesia (SA). Fourteen patients received an ultrasound-guided insertion of a femoral nerve catheter after radiographic confirmation of a hip fracture. All complications and readmissions that occurred within 6 weeks of surgery were noted.

Results

Continuous femoral nerve catheter (CFNC) patients were discharged home more frequently than SA patients (43% for CFNC vs 7% for SA; P = .023). CFNC patients reported lower average pain scores preoperatively (P < .0001), on postoperative day 1 (P = .005) and postoperative day 2 (P = .037). Preoperatively, CFNC patients required 61% less morphine equivalent (P = .007). CFNC patients had a lower rate of opioid-related side effects compared with SA patients (7% vs 47%; P = .035).

Conclusion

CFNC patients were discharged to home more frequently. Use of a CFNC decreased daily average patient-reported pain scores, preoperative opioid usage, and opioid-related side effects after THA for hip fracture. Based on these data, we recommend routine use of perioperative CFNC in hip fracture patients undergoing THA.  相似文献

Background

The acetabular component orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is of critical importance to the good clinical results. However, traditional widely used cup alignment guides for cup placement are reported to be relatively unreliable. The present study aims at comparing a novel cup alignment guide, which can be attached to our anatomical pelvic plane (APP) pelvic lateral positioner for reducing discrepancies in sagittal pelvic tilt and indicate a targeted cup angle based on the APP, with a conventional cup alignment guide.

Methods

The subjects were 136 hips of 136 patients who underwent unilateral THA using the APP positioner. The procedure was performed with the conventional cup alignment guide (conventional group; 60 hips) and with the novel cup navigator (mechanical navigator group; 76 hips). Postoperative cup angles and discrepancies of postoperative cup angles (inclination and anteversion angles) from the targeted angles were compared between the 2 groups to evaluate the usefulness of these navigators.

Results

The mean cup angles in the conventional group were 39.0° ± 5.3° for the inclination angle and 21.7° ± 6.4° for the anteversion angle, whereas those in the mechanical navigator group were 40.6° ± 3.2° and 18.3° ± 4.6°, respectively (P = .018, P < .0001). The discrepancies from the targeted angles were 3.5° ± 3.1° for the inclination angle and 4.6° ± 3.4° for the anteversion angle in the conventional group and 2.3° ± 2.3° and 3.2° ± 2.7°, respectively, in the mechanical navigator group (P = .020, P = .012).

Conclusion

The mechanical cup navigator easily attachable to the APP positioner is a tool that can improve the accuracy of cup placement in a simple, economical, and noninvasive manner in THA via the lateral position.  相似文献
