Longer Operative Time Results in a Higher Rate of Subsequent Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Patients Undergoing Primary Joint Arthroplasty

Background

Whether prolonged operative time is an independent risk factor for subsequent surgical site infection (SSI) and periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains a clinically significant and underexplored issue. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between operative time and the risk of subsequent SSI and PJI in patients undergoing primary TJA.

Accuracy and Precision of Acetabular Component Placement With Imageless Navigation in Obese Patients

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.

Acute total hip arthroplasty for older patients with acetabular fractures: A meta-analysis

ObjectiveMultiple treatment options for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients exist. However, no large-scale studies have reported the outcomes of acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) in this patient population. We systematically evaluated all available evidence to characterize clinical outcomes, complications, and revisions of acute THA for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients.MethodsMeta-analysis of 21 studies of 430 acetabular fractures with mean follow-up of 44 months (range, 17−97 months). Two independent researchers searched and evaluated the databases of Ovid, Embase, and United States National Library of Medicine using a Boolean search string up to December 2019. Population demographics and complications, including presence of heterotopic ossification (HO), dislocation, infection, revision rate, neurological deficits, and venous thromboembolic event (VTE), were recorded and analyzed.ResultsWeighted mean Harris Hip Score was 83.3 points, and 20% of the patients had reported complications. The most common complication was HO, with a rate of 19.5%. Brooker grade III and IV HO rates were lower at 6.8%. Hip dislocation occurred at a rate of 6.1%, 4.1% of patients developed VTE, deep infection occurred in 3.8%, and neurological complications occurred in 1.9%. Although the revision rate was described in most studies, we were unable to perform a survival analysis because the time to each revision was described in only a few studies. The revision rate was 4.3%.ConclusionsAcute THA is a viable option for treatment of acetabular fracture and can result in acceptable clinical outcomes and survivorship rates in older patients but with an associated complication rate of approximately 20%. Considering the limited treatment options, THA might be a viable alternative for appropriately selected patients.     

先天性髋脱位骨刀模型的研究

目的：在建立先天性髋脱位（CDH）的计算机三维交互模型的基础上，建立三维骨刀模型，模拟截骨。方法：利用螺旋体积CT获得患儿髋关节扫描数据，用B＋树组织按marching cubes方法完成骨刀模型的重建。通过对B＋树的不完全遍历和回溯，定位表面模型间的交点并分割髋关节模型。结果：重建的骨刀模型与CDH三维模型之间，可进行实时交互。初步实现了对骨性三维交互模型任意位置的平面切割、球面切割、拾取和拼合。结论：此建模、切割方法可行有效，可用于计算机模拟骨性手术的研究。     

云南白药对全髋关节置换术出血量的影响

目的研究云南白药在围术期对全髋关节置换术术中出血量及术后引流量的影响。方法2006至2008年我科收治的股骨颈骨折行全髋关节置换术60例,随机分成两组,分别服用云南白药胶囊和空胶囊;术前术后测定凝血酶原时间(PT),记录全部病人术中出血量及术后24 h引流量。结果实验组和对照组病人的凝血酶原时间(PT)差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);试验组的术中出血量、术后24 h引流量分别为(380±78)ml(、336±77)ml,较对照组(481±77)ml(、418±68)ml明显减少,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论云南白药胶囊能够明显减少全髋关节置换术围术期出血量。     

28 mm Metasul™ bearings in primary total hip arthroplasty

Assessment of possible low-wear with some former metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasties (THA) led to the reintroduction of metallic bearings in the late 80’s. The author reports on two studies of Metasul-28 mm cementless THA. In the first one in a general population, impingement has been the main cause of osteolysis and Co level survey has been a good indicator of Metasul bearing behaviour. In the second study, in a group of 83 less than 50-year-old and active patients, Metasul bearings showed good wear resistance at 7.2 years mean follow-up. In both studies, no general toxic effect could have been detected thus far. According to the current knowledge, it is always reasonable to expect low-wear and better THA longevity with use of MoM bearings under the following conditions: 1) use of a CoCr alloy with high carbide concentration; 2) reduce impingement risk (head without sleeve, slimmer as possible neck, perfectly adapted Morse cone from the same manufacturer, well — oriented components); and 3) prefer cementless acetabular fixation.     

人工髋关节置换术后脂肪栓塞综合征的观察与护理

笔者报道人工髋关节置换术后脂肪栓塞综合征的护理措施认为重视氧饱和度及动脉血氧分压监测，注意观察中枢神经系统症状和呼吸系统症状，及时发现并纠止低氧血症，对不同的病人制定不同护理方案，严密观察病情，及时掌握病情变化：是护理的关键。     

小儿先天性髋关节脱位近年来应用术式的演变及其评估

本文介绍本院近４年来小儿先天性髋脱位治疗应用术式的演变。由２０多年来一直喜欢用骨盆截骨术演变为近１年来用得最多的是造盖术。近４年共手术４６３例，５６５髋。实践证明：比起骨盆截骨术，造盖术显得更简便，侵袭小，不需二次手术拔除内固定针。因在我国大龄髋脱位偏多，造盖术更适合我国国情。经过一些改进，可以克服造盖折断和吸收问题。     

磨损微粒诱导的局部生物学反应

人工髋关节置换失败的主要原因是假体的无菌性松动。研究表明 ,这和假体长期磨损产生的微粒作用于周围的巨噬细胞而诱发的生物学反应有关。磨损微粒激活假体周围组织细胞释放前炎症介质 ,诱导破骨细胞的活化和分化 ,引发假体周围的骨溶解。充分地认识这个过程 ,对减少人工关节无菌性松动 ,延长假体使用寿命具有重要意义。
