Prior Pelvic Osteotomy Affects the Outcome of Subsequent Total Hip Arthroplasty

BackgroundAlthough pelvic osteotomy (PO) is an important surgical procedure that can alleviate symptoms and potentially slow progression of osteoarthritis in patients with development dysplasia of the hip, some patients eventually require conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine the outcome of conversion THA in patients with prior PO.MethodsForty nine patients with a history of prior PO who underwent conversion THA at a single institution were matched at a 1:3 ratio based on the date of surgery, age, gender, and body mass index with 147 developmental dysplasia of the hip patients who underwent primary THA without prior PO. A retrospective chart review was performed to compare outcomes at a minimum follow-up of 2 years.ResultsPatients with prior PO required more supplemental screw fixation for the acetabular component (59.2% vs 38.1%, P = .016), more autologous bone grafting (24.5% vs 11.6%, P = .048), had a longer mean operative time (106.0 vs 79.8 minutes, P < .001), and greater estimated blood loss (350.0 vs 206.8 mL, P = .015). Patients with prior PO had smaller cup version angle (26.0° vs 29.0°, P = .012) and greater discrepancy in the limb length (10.3 vs 7.26 mm, P = .041). Eight hips (16.3%) with prior PO and 6 (4.1%) without osteotomy required reoperation (P = .008). There was no difference in outcome scores at the latest follow-up.Conclusion: THA after prior PO is technically demanding, leading to longer operative times, greater blood loss, and variation in implant placement. Although functional outcomes are similar, THA after a prior PO is more likely to require reoperation.ConclusionTHA after prior PO is technically demanding, leading to longer operative times, greater blood loss, and variation in implant placement. Although functional outcomes are similar, THA after a prior PO is more likely to require reoperation.     

Alignment in Medial Fixed-Bearing Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: The Limb Has a Leg Up on the Component

BackgroundTo assess how implant alignment affects unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) outcome, we compared tibial component alignment of well-functioning UKAs against 2 groups of failed UKAs, revised for progression of lateral compartment arthritis (“Progression”) and aseptic loosening (“Loosening”).MethodsWe identified 37 revisions for Progression and 61 revisions for Loosening from our prospective institutional database of 3351 medial fixed-bearing UKAs performed since 2000. Revision cohorts were matched on age, gender, body mass index, and postoperative range of motion with “Successful” unrevised UKAs with minimum 10-year follow-up and Knee Society Score ≥70. Tibial component coronal (TCA) and sagittal (TSA) plane alignment was measured on postoperative radiographs. Limb alignment was quantified by hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle on long-leg radiographs. In addition to directly comparing groups, a multivariate logistic regression examined how limb and component alignments were associated with UKA revision.ResultsIn the Progression group, component alignment was similar to the matched successes (TCA 3.6° ± 3.5° varus vs 5.1° ± 3.5° varus, P = .07; TSA 8.4° ± 4.4° vs 8.8° ± 3.6°, P = .67), whereas HKA angle was significantly more valgus (0.3° ± 3.6° valgus vs 4.4° ± 2.6° varus, P < .001). Loosening group component alignment was also similar to the matched successes (TCA 6.1° ± 3.7° varus vs 5.9° ± 3.1° varus, P = .72; TSA 8.4° ± 4.6° vs 8.1° ± 3.9°, P = .68), and HKA was significantly more varus (6.1° ± 3.1° varus vs 4.0° ± 2.7° varus, P < .001). Using a multivariate logistic regression, HKA angle was the most significant factor associated with revision (P < .001).ConclusionIn this population of revised UKAs and long-term successes, limb alignment was a more important determinant of outcome than tibial component alignment.Level of EvidenceLevel III case-control study.     

Role of high tibial osteotomy in medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee: Indications,surgical technique and outcomes

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder worldwide. In particular, primary knee OA often presents with a varus malalignment. This increases the loads going through the medial compartment resulting in cartilage degeneration and symptomatic arthritis. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is the workhorse surgical procedure for treating medial knee OA. When performed precisely in the hands of an experienced surgeon, HTO can delay or avoid knee arthroplasty. Of note, outcomes of knee arthroplasty are at best unpredictable in patients of younger age. Hence, there is a growing need for joint preservation procedures for younger patients presenting with knee OA, of which HTO is one. Through this article, the authors of whom all are joint preservation surgeons with a special interest in osteotomy hope to share from their experience as well as the available literature on the indications, perioperative planning, surgical technique, outcomes as well as pearls and pitfalls of HTO.     

Hip preserving procedures for osteonecrosis of the femoral head after collapse

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) affects mainly young patients and causes secondary hip osteoarthritis if remains untreated. Several operative treatments have been introduced with successful outcomes in the early stages. However, in late stages of ONFH treatment may be challenging due to the progressive nature of disease and many surgeons prefer arthroplasty option after collapse. Considering the size, age and etiology an effort should be made to preserve hip joint selected patients with early collapse or minimal arthritic changes. The purpose of the current review is to discuss the results of joint preserving procedures for late stages of ONFH.     

TI VIBE inversion MRI – An alternative to CT for imaging of hip pain

IntroductionMR and CT are excellent complimentary diagnostic modalities for evaluation of hip pain which are often used together along with radiographs. However, CT involves radiation, which is a concern particularly in younger patients. T1VIBE is a 3D gradient echo MR sequence with high intrinsic contrast between the bone and soft tissues with multiplanar capabilities.AimWe performed a study to assess if TIVIBE can be used to complement MR for evaluation of hip pain in young adults and to see if measurements and angles can be calculated using T1VIBE inversion images with similar accuracy to CT scan.Material and methodsA retrospective review of 50 patients aged less than 40 years, who had MR (including TIVIBE) and CT of pelvis was performed. Post surgical patients were excluded. Some important measurements such as Centre edge angle, Tonnis’ angle, anterior acetabular sector angle, posterior acetabular sector angle and acetabular version were independently measured by two readers on T1 VIBE inversion and CT images separately and measurements were compared. One reader performed the measurements again to assess for intra-observer error.ResultsThere was a female predominance (37 F, 13M) with an average age of 27.6 years (range of 17–39). There was no significant difference in the measurements between CT and TI VIBE inversion and there was good intra and interobservor reliability.ConclusionTI VIBE inversion sequence can be used as an alternative to CT with added advantage of alleviating the radiation exposure.     

A short-term radiological and clinical comparison between the bi-cruciate and cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty A retrospective case controlled study

PurposeThe aim of this study was to provide a short term comparison in radiological and clinical outcome between Bi-Cruciate Retaining (BCR)- and Cruciate Retaining (CR) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsThe cohort consists of 122 patients undergoing a TKA with PSI, equally distributed over the BCR- and CR-TKA group. Perioperative conditions were observed and radiological images were analysed pre-, 6-weeks, and 1-year postoperative to quantify alignment differences between BCR- and CR-TKA. Preoperatively predicted templates were compared with the implanted size to determine predictive value. In addition mean range of motion and revision rates were determined in both groups.ResultsNo significant difference was observed in amount of outliers in component alignment between BCR- and CR-TKA. Outliers of the Hip-Knee-Ankle-Axis (HKA-axis) occurred significantly more frequent (P = 0.009) in the BCR-group (37.7%) compared to CR-TKA (18.0%). No clinically relevant differences regarding the predictive sizing of implant components was obtained. No significant differences were observed in revision rates (P = 1.000) and ROM (p = 0.425) between the BCR-groep and CR-group at 2-years FU.ConclusionThis study illustrates that although the HKA-axis was not fully restored, bi-cruciate retaining surgical technique for BCR-TKA is safe and effective with comparable radiological and clinical outcome as CR TKA. Randomized controlled trials with longer follow up on the HKA-axis alignment and clinical parameters are needed to confirm the presented results and should focus on possible cut off values concerning leg axis in order to define in what patients a BCR-TKA can safely be used.Level of evidence IVRetrospective Case Controlled Study.
