It is well known that increased posterior tilt of the pelvis is an effective strategy for avoiding impingement of the femur with the pelvis during movement. Daily repetitive collisions become mechanical loads, and the more frequently they occur, the more tissue damage and pain they cause. Therefore, reducing the rate of occurrence of impingement is important to avoid aggravation of symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of changes in posterior pelvic tilt on the risk of impingement between the femur and the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS)/subspine in various functional postures. Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) who were candidates for hip arthroscopic osteochondroplasty between October 2013 and June 2020 were included. A three-dimensional reconstructed model was used to simulate the incidence of impingement at 12 hip positions required for activities of daily living. We predicted value of the spatial incidence of impingement assumed that hip motion should exceed 130/30 degrees without impingement. Impingement was measured at three pelvic positions: an anterior tilt of 10°, in the functional pelvic plane and a posterior tilt of 10°. Multivariate linear-mixed models were used to assess the effect of covariate-adjusted posterior pelvic tilt on the impingement incidence in the AIIS region. AIIS type, center-edge angle, acetabular version and femoral version were used as covariates. The impingement rates and locations of the three pelvic tilt postures were assessed. Seventy-eight patients (60 males and 18 females; average age, 46 ± 15.1 years) with FAIS were analyzed. A multivariate linear-mixed model revealed a coefficient of -0.8% (95% confidence interval -0.9 to -0.7%; P < 0.001) for posterior pelvic tilt. Thus, posterior pelvic tilt affects AIIS impingement incidence. After adjusting for anatomical effects, the posterior pelvic tilt should be addressed to avoid impingement.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in Japanese newborns has reduced drastically following a primary prevention campaign initiated around 1972 to 1973; this perinatal education campaign promoted maintaining the hips of newborns in the naturally flexed-leg position. The purpose of the present study was to describe the life course epidemiology of hip osteoarthritis (OA) in adolescent and adult patients and to assess its association with exposure to the primary prevention campaign for DDH. METHODS: We included new patients with hip OA diagnosed from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, at 12 core hospitals (8 special-function hospitals and 4 regional medical care support hospitals). The trend in the percentage of hips with a history of DDH treatment in childhood was estimated with use of a centered moving average using the birth year of the patient. We compared the prevalence of severe subluxation (Crowe type II, III, or IV) between patients with secondary hip OA due to hip dysplasia who were born in or before 1972 and those who were born in or after 1973. RESULTS: Overall, 1,095 patients (1,381 hips) were included. The mean age at the time of the survey was 63.5 years (range, 15 to 95 years). A total of 795 patients (1,019 hips; 73.8% of hips) were diagnosed with secondary OA due to hip dysplasia. Approximately 13% to 15% of hips among patients born from 1963 to 1972 had a history of DDH treatment in childhood; however, the percentage decreased among patients born in or after 1973. The prevalence of severe subluxation (Crowe type II, III, or IV) among patients born in or after 1973 was 2.4%, which was significantly less than that among patients born in or before 1972 (11.1%; odds ratio, 0.20; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: As of 2022, secondary hip OA due to hip dysplasia is still responsible for most new cases of adolescent and adult hip OA seen in core hospitals in Japan. However, the perinatal education campaign initiated 50 years ago, which utilized a population approach and advocated for maintaining the hips of newborns in the naturally flexed-leg position, may have improved the environmental factors of DDH, as indicated by the apparently reduced need for treatment of DDH in childhood and the associated severe subluxation. This may result in a reduced need for challenging hip surgery later in life. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level III . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

AIMS: This study was designed to develop a model for predicting bone mineral density (BMD) loss of the femur after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using artificial intelligence (AI), and to identify factors that influence the prediction. Additionally, we virtually examined the efficacy of administration of bisphosphonate for cases with severe BMD loss based on the predictive model. METHODS: The study included 538 joints that underwent primary THA. The patients were divided into groups using unsupervised time series clustering for five-year BMD loss of Gruen zone 7 postoperatively, and a machine-learning model to predict the BMD loss was developed. Additionally, the predictor for BMD loss was extracted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). The patient-specific efficacy of bisphosphonate, which is the most important categorical predictor for BMD loss, was examined by calculating the change in predictive probability when hypothetically switching between the inclusion and exclusion of bisphosphonate. RESULTS: Time series clustering allowed us to divide the patients into two groups, and the predictive factors were identified including patient- and operation-related factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for the BMD loss prediction averaged 0.734. Virtual administration of bisphosphonate showed on average 14% efficacy in preventing BMD loss of zone 7. Additionally, stem types and preoperative triglyceride (TG), creatinine (Cr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and creatine kinase (CK) showed significant association with the estimated patient-specific efficacy of bisphosphonate. CONCLUSION: Periprosthetic BMD loss after THA is predictable based on patient- and operation-related factors, and optimal prescription of bisphosphonate based on the prediction may prevent BMD loss.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between chondrogenic differentiation and Wnt signal expression in the degenerative process of the human meniscus. Menisci were obtained from patients with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA), and degeneration was histologically assessed using a grading system. Immunohistochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Western blot analysis were performed to examine the expressions of chondrogenic markers and of the components of Wnt signaling. Histological analyses showed that meniscal degeneration involved a transition from a fibroblastic to a chondrogenic phenotype with the upregulation of SOX9, collagen type II, collagen type XI, and aggrecan, which were associated with increased Wnt5a and ROR2 and decreased TCF7 expressions. OA menisci showed significantly higher expressions of Wnt5a and ROR2 and significantly lower expressions of AXIN2 and TCF7 than non-OA menisci on real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. These results potentially demonstrated that increased expression of Wnt5a/ROR2 signaling promoted chondrogenesis with decreased expression in downstream Wnt/β-catenin signaling. This study provides insights into the role of Wnt signaling in the process of meniscal degeneration, shifting to a chondrogenic phenotype. The findings suggested that the increased expression of Wnt5a/ROR2 and decreased expression of the downstream target of Wnt/β-catenin signaling are associated with chondrogenesis in meniscal degeneration.

PURPOSE: To identify factors associated with insufficient range of motion (ROM) improvement after the posterior pelvic tilt change in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). METHODS: Preoperative computed tomography (CT) images from 71 consecutive patients with FAIS treated with arthroscopic cam resection were evaluated. Using a dynamic computer simulation program, 3-dimensional models with a 10° posterior pelvic tilt from the supine functional pelvic plane (baseline) were created by CT models. Patients were divided into two groups: those who experienced >10° (effective group) and ≤10° (ineffective group) improvements in internal rotation at 90° flexion after a 10° posterior pelvic tilt. Demographic characteristics; preoperative range of internal rotation at 90° flexion; and radiographic parameters, including Tonnis grade, lateral center-edge angle, acetabular roof obliquity angle, central acetabular anteversion, cranial acetabular anteversion, femoral anteversion, and α angle, were compared in the two groups. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with insufficient ROM improvement following a 10° posterior pelvic tilt. RESULTS: The 71 patients included 58 men and 13 women, of mean age 41.4 ± 14.6 years. Posterior pelvic tilt was effective in 13 hips and ineffective in 58. Univariate analysis showed that preoperative range of internal rotation at 90°flexion, femoral anteversion, and α angle differed significantly in the two groups. Multivariable analysis showed that femoral anteversion <16° (odds ratio [OR], 7.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6-35; P = 0.012) and α angle >65° (OR, 6.7; 95% CI, 1.2-37; P = 0.027) were significant factors associated with insufficient ROM improvement after posterior pelvic tilt. CONCLUSION: Physical therapy may not be successful for patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and may result in insufficient hip range-of-motion when femoral anteversion is less than 16° and α-angle is greater than 65°.

Shelf acetabuloplasty has been performed in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH); however, the appropriate position of the shelf has not been determined, particularly with respect to avoiding range of motion (ROM) loss. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of ROM inhibition and the influence of 3D position of the shelf following actual shelf acetabuloplasty and virtual surgery using computer simulation analysis. Computed tomography data from 15 patients with DDH who underwent shelf acetabuloplasty were collected between August 2019 and February 2022. The three-dimensional models of a hip joint were constructed using Zed Hip®. Maximal internal rotation (MIR) at 45° and 90° flexion was measured in each patient. The frequency and position of ROM inhibition was determined in a real postoperative model virtually. In addition, a second analysis using virtual acetabuloplasty was performed. Upon placing the shelf, three patterns were provided for the following four parameters: height, coronal inclination, center-edge angle (CEA), and anteroposterior position. The predictors for ROM inhibition were analyzed using a logistic regression model. In the actual postoperative model, a limitation of MIR at 90° and 45° of flexion occurred in 60% and 66.7% of patients, respectively. A higher CEA and anterior position are major factors limiting MIR. The analysis of the virtual shelf acetabuloplasty model revealed that anterior position and CEA were significant factors causing ROM inhibition. As for clinical significance, the results of the current study indicated the optimal location of the shelf to avoid iatrogenic impingement after shelf acetabuloplasty.

Planning a three-dimensional (3D) osteotomy using computed tomography (CT) data is useful especially in cases with complex deformities. Furthermore, CT-based navigation system allows the preoperative virtual planning to be replicated in actual surgery. However, one disadvantage when using navigation systems is that when osteotomies are performed on tracker-attached bone, the bone fragments on the side that were cut away cannot be tracked. This is especially problematic when performing multiple osteotomies on bones with complex deformities. We solved this problem by creating a 3D printed bone model that can be referenced intraoperatively and used in combination with the navigation system. We applied these techniques to perform segmental corrective osteotomy for a complex tibial deformity with intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic rickets (HVDRR) in an adult man. Due to the patient's history of multiple surgeries, the affected tibia had a narrow and partially closed medullary canal. Therefore, we planned to use an IMN for correction and fixation of tibial deformity to protect the thin and stretched skin around the deformed tibia. With the assistance of CT-based navigation, we could perform an accurate three-dimensional tibial osteotomy. Moreover, we could perform accurate preparation of closed medullary canal for the IMN placement by referring to the 3D printed bone models. Six months after the operation, the bone union at the osteotomy sites was confirmed and the patient was able to return to his normal life and work.

BACKGROUND: Precise osteochondroplasty is important in arthroscopic hip surgery for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Although computer-assisted surgery with a navigation system may enhance the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty, few clinical studies have assessed its accuracy. PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of arthroscopic osteochondroplasty by a computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for cam-type FAI, using 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction with more detail compared with previous methods. STUDY DESIGN: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: Twenty patients (14 men and 6 women) who underwent navigation-assisted arthroscopic surgery for cam-type FAI were included. The preoperative 3D model of the femur was constructed from each patient's CT data, and a planned model with virtual cam resection was generated. A femoral model was reconstructed from CT data postoperatively. The 3 models for each patient were overlaid using a 3D model registration method. Then, the contours of the bone resection area of each model were compared by measuring them. To measure the deviation between planned and actual bone resections, 4 cross-sectional images of the 3 femoral models were set at one-quarter intervals from the femoral head radius. All measurements were based on clockface lines set around the femoral neck axis at 30-minute intervals. Differences between the planned and postoperative contour lines were deemed resection deviations. RESULTS: All cam resections were performed in the anterior half of the region of interest. Therefore, only the anterior half (48 points) of the 96 points per case were analyzed. In 876 (91.3%) points of the total measurement points (960 points/20 cases), the error in resection depth was within 3 mm. Overresection was observed at 35 (3.6%) points and underresection at 49 (5.1%) points. The observed maximum deviations from the planned models were 6.3 mm overresection and -7.1 mm underresection. The alpha angles of the postoperative model at the posterior 9- to 3-o'clock position were <55° in all patients. CONCLUSION: Navigation-assisted arthroscopic osteochondroplasty showed favorable accuracy. Underresection was more frequent than overresection on the anterosuperior side of the femur, despite assistance of the navigation system.

BACKGROUND: The spine-pelvis-hip interaction during postural change should be considered in the functional anatomy of the hip. The component parts of this anatomy and how they influence hip function are important to know. Pelvic incidence (PI) is one of these components. We studied if PI was preoperatively predictive of impingement risk and if it postoperatively influences hip position, which could cause outliers from the functional safe zone of hip replacement. METHODS: This was a prospective radiographic study of 187 consecutive patients (200 hips) who had lateral spinopelvis-hip radiographs before and after primary total hip arthroplasty with measurements of the component factors that influence mobility and position of the functional anatomy. The predictive value of PI for risk of impingement of the hip and its postoperative relationship to functional safe-zone outliers were assessed. Forty-one dislocations from our clinical practice were also reviewed. RESULTS: Of 200 hips, the PI was normal in 145 hips (73%), low in 18 hips (9%), and high in 37 hips (19%). Eighty-two hips had spinopelvic imbalance: 12 (67%) of the 18 hips with low PI, 56 (39%) of the 145 hips with normal PI, and 14 (38%) of the 37 hips with high PI. Low-PI hips was the most predictive of the risk of impingement and postoperatively these hips had the most outliers from the functional safe zone. CONCLUSIONS: PI is an anatomical component that is predictive of both impingement risk and functional safe-zone outliers. Preoperative risk, based on factors such as the Lewinnek zones and combined anteversion, is an established guide in determining cup position in hip replacement. Low-PI hips that have the "terrible triad" of a posteriorly tilted pelvis, stiff pelvic mobility, and increased femoral flexion therefore have no functional safe zone. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

BACKGROUND: Hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemi-arthroplasty is a rare but serious complication. Dislocation may be prevented by appropriate positioning of the cup angle of inclination and anteversion. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes a 66-year-old woman who underwent revision THA using a computer tomography (CT)-based navigation system to treat an anterior dislocation after hemi-arthroplasty due to a severe posterior pelvic tilt. At initial presentation, her sagittal pelvic tilt angle, measured as anterior pelvic plane (APP) in the supine position, was 38 degrees posterior to the coronal plane. Owing to the posterior pelvic tilt, revision THA was performed using CT-based navigation, while dual mobility was utilized to reduce the risk of re-dislocation. Postoperatively, her sagittal pelvic tilt angle showed further progression over time, with an APP of 66 degrees posterior to the coronal plane in the standing position 3 years after revision THA. Simulation with the Zed Hip system showed that the risk of implant-to-implant impingement was much higher posteriorly than anteriorly. Gait analysis demonstrated hyperextension of the hip joint while walking, although hip joint function required for daily activity was maintained. CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative planning of implant orientation, based on posterior progression of pelvic tilt and accurate placement of components, is important to prevent dislocation in patients with severe posterior pelvic tilt. A dual mobility cup may also improve hip function in these patients.

PURPOSE: To evaluate radially reconstructed 3.0-Tesla 3-dimensional multiple-echo recombined gradient echo (MERGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without arthrography for the assessment of acetabular labrum tears, using arthroscopic evaluation as the reference standard. METHODS: A total of 71 consecutive hips, including 29 with femoroacetabular impingement, 26 with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip, and 16 with early-stage osteoarthritis, were evaluated in this retrospective study. MERGE MRI findings were evaluated according to the modified Czerny classification for 3 regions of interest: anterior region, anterolateral region, and lateral region. Cases with severe degeneration that was not concordant with any stage in the original Czerny classification were defined as stage Ⅳ. MERGE MRI findings were compared with arthroscopic findings, and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value in terms of the existence of labrum tears were calculated. RESULTS: MERGE MRI findings revealed labrum tears more frequently in the anterolateral region than in the anterior and lateral regions (P < .01). In cases of femoroacetabular impingement and borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip in particular, labrum tears were more frequently observed on MRI in the anterolateral region than in the lateral region (P < .05). In comparison with MRI findings and arthroscopic findings, our newly defined stage IV in the modified Czerny classification was more frequently observed in cases with a Multicenter Arthroscopy of the Hip Outcomes Research Network (MAHORN) classification of degenerative or complex (P < .01). The average sensitivity and specificity of all regions for the existence of labrum tears were 85% and 56%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 50%, respectively, in the anterior region; 96% and 50%, respectively, in the anterolateral region; and 70% and 57%, respectively, in the lateral region. CONCLUSIONS: We validated the diagnostic performance of 3.0-Tesla 3-dimensional MERGE MRI for evaluating acetabular labrum tears and made comparisons with arthroscopic findings. Radially reconstructed MERGE magnetic resonance images showed excellent sensitivity for the diagnosis of labrum tears, particularly in the anterolateral region. The newly defined stage IV was distinctive of early-stage osteoarthritis cases with degeneration and/or complex arthroscopic findings. The noninvasive imaging modality of radially reconstructed MERGE MRI may be an alternative to magnetic resonance arthrography for evaluating labrum tears. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE: Level Ⅱ, development of diagnostic criteria.

BACKGROUND: Late dislocations after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are challenging for the hip surgeon because the cause is often not evident and recurrence is common. Recently, decreased spinopelvic motion has been implicated as a cause of dislocation. The purpose of this study was to assess the mechanical causes of late dislocation, including the influence of spinopelvic motion. METHODS: Twenty consecutive patients were studied to identify the cause of their late dislocation. Cup inclination and anteversion were measured on standard pelvic radiographs. Lateral standing and sitting spine-pelvis-hip radiographs were used to measure pelvic motion, femoral mobility, and sagittal cup position by assessing sacral slope, pelvic-femoral angle, and cup ante-inclination. Spinopelvic motion was defined as the difference between the standing and sitting sacral slopes (Δsacral slope). A new measurement, the combined sagittal index, which measures the sagittal acetabular and femoral positions, was used to assess the functional motion of the hip joint and risk of impingement. RESULTS: There were 9 anterior dislocations (45%) and 11 posterior dislocations (55%) at a mean of 8.3 years after a primary THA. Eight of the 9 patients with an anterior dislocation had spinopelvic abnormalities such as fixed posterior pelvic tilt when standing, increased standing femoral extension, and an increased standing combined sagittal index. Ten of the 11 patients with a posterior dislocation had abnormal spinopelvic measurements such as decreased spinopelvic motion (average Δsacral slope [and standard error] = 9.0° ± 2.4°), increased femoral flexion, and a decreased sitting combined sagittal index. For every 1° decrease in spinopelvic motion, there was an associated 0.9° increase in femoral motion and, in some patients, this resulted in osseous impingement and dislocation. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a late dislocation have abnormal spinopelvic motion that precipitates the dislocation, especially when combined with cup malposition or soft-tissue abnormalities. Spinopelvic stiffness is associated with increased age and increased femoral motion, which may lead to impingement and dislocation. Lateral spine-pelvis-hip radiographs may predict the risk and direction of dislocation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

PURPOSE: To examine the influence of femoral neck resection on the mechanical strength of the proximal femur in actual surgery. METHODS: Eighteen subjects who received arthroscopic cam resection for cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) were included. Finite element analyses (FEAs) were performed to calculate changes in simulative fracture load between pre- and postoperative femur models. The finite element femur models were constructed from computed tomographic images; thus, the models represented the shape of the original femur, including the bone resection site. Three-dimensional image analysis of the bone resection site was performed to identify morphometric factors that affect strength in the postoperative femur model. Four oblique sagittal planes running perpendicular to the femoral neck axis were used as reference planes to measure the bone resection site. RESULTS: At the transcervical reference plane, both the bone resection depth and the cross-sectional area at the resection site correlated strongly with postoperative changes in the simulated fracture load (R2 = 0.6, P = .0001). However, only resection depth was significantly correlated with the simulated fracture load at the reference plane for the head-neck junction. The resected bone volume did not correlate with the postoperative changes in the simulated fracture load. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our FEA suggest that the bone resection depth measured at the head-neck junction and transcervical reference plane correlates with fracture risk after osteochondroplasty. By contrast, bone resection at more proximal areas did not have a significant effect on the postoperative femur model strength in our FEA. The total volume of resected bone was also not significantly correlated with postoperative changes in femur model strength. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This biomechanical study using FEA suggest that there is a risk of femoral neck fracture after arthroscopic cam resection, particularly when the resected lesion is located distally.

Precise osteochondroplasty is key for success in hip arthroscopic surgery, especially for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) caused by cam or pincer morphology. In this Technical Note, we present computer-assisted hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI, including preoperative planning by virtual osteochondroplasty and intraoperative computer navigation assistance. The important concept of this technique is that navigation assistance for osteochondroplasty is based on planning made by computer simulation analysis. The navigation assistance allows us to perform neither too much nor too little osteochondroplasty. Specifically, computer simulation was used to identify the impingement point. Virtual osteochondroplasty was then performed to determine the maneuvers that would improve range of motion. Thereafter, the planning data were transported to a computed tomography-based computer navigation system that directly provided intraoperative assistance. Thus, computer-assisted technology including preoperative simulation, virtual osteochondroplasty planning, and intraoperative navigation assistance may promote precise hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI.

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological characteristics of Hip osteoarthritis (OA) continue to change due to population aging and emerging disease concepts, such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIF). This study aimed to analyze the current etiologies of hip OA in Japan and identify characteristics associated with each etiology. METHODS: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 at 12 major Japanese hospitals, including 1197 patients (1515 hips) newly diagnosed with hip OA. Etiologies were classified into nine categories based on patient background and imaging findings: hip dysplasia, primary OA, FAI, SIF, rapidly destructive coxopathy (RDC), trauma, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD), slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and skeletal dysplasia. RESULTS: The etiologies included hip dysplasia (74.4 %), primary OA (13.4 %), FAI (4.8 %), SIF (3.4 %), RDC (1.3 %), trauma (1.3 %), LCPD (0.9 %), SCFE (0.1 %), and skeletal dysplasia (0.1 %). Patients in their 70s comprised the largest group, with a predominance of female patients across all ages. The proportion of hip dysplasia decreased in the elderly patients, whereas primary OA and SIF increased. Hip dysplasia was more common in female than male (78.2 % vs. 55.2 %), whereas FAI was more frequent in male (17.9 % vs. 2.2 %). The Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip scores were highest for FAI and lowest for SIF. Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade ≥3 was more common in primary OA (82.0 %) and hip dysplasia (76.7 %) than in FAI (57.7 %) and SIF (66.7 %). CONCLUSIONS: Hip dysplasia remains the predominant cause of hip OA in Japan. Age-specific analyses revealed that FAI was more common in younger patients, while primary OA and SIF were prevalent in older patients. Patients with hip dysplasia and primary OA often presented with advanced KL grades, while SIF was associated with the poorest clinical scores. These findings may inform diagnostic and treatment approaches based on predominant etiologies.

This study aimed to identify the optimal timing for starting mobilization after enthesis repair surgery. A total of 28 8-week-old male Wistar rats underwent bilateral Achilles tendon detachment and repair. We randomized animals into four groups based on the duration of immobilization: no cast group, no immobilization; 7 days group, immobilization for 7 days; 14 days group, immobilization for 14 days; or 30 days group, immobilization for 30 days. Samples were harvested for biomechanical and histological analyses following euthanasia at 30 days after surgery. Histological findings showed abundant fibrocartilage formation in 7 days group, limited fibrocartilage formation in 14 days group, and no fibrocartilage formation in no cast or 30 days group. Histological score was significantly higher in 7 days group than in no cast and 30 days groups (p < 0.05 each). Biomechanical analysis showed that the mean load to failure was significantly higher in 7 days and 14 days groups than in no cast and 30 days groups (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that starting mobilization following short-term (1 week) immobilization is the optimal timing to improve structural and mechanical properties of healing enthesis. This provides insight into the optimization of rehabilitation protocols following enthesis repair surgery.

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infection (SSI) following spinal surgery, although rare, is a serious complication that affects patient outcomes. Identifying risk factors such as patient background, preoperative serum markers, and surgical factors is essential for effective screening and prevention measures. Therefore, this study aimed to verify whether preoperative patient conditions serve as predictors of post-spinal surgery infections and to determine the association between preoperative serum markers and infecting pathogen species. METHODS: This single center retrospective study analyzed 427 patients who underwent spinal surgery at our hospital between November 2019 and September 2022. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, preoperative blood tests, surgical factors, SSI occurrence, and causative organisms were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of SSI, and a subgroup analysis compared preoperative serum markers between superficial and intra-abdominal bacterial infections. RESULTS: SSI occurred in 33 patients (7.7 %). Several factors showed significant differences between the SSI and non-SSI groups, including albumin (ALB), Albumin-Globulin Ratio (AGR), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), CAR, D-dimer, and blood loss. Logistic regression analysis identified ALB as the only independent predictor of SSI (OR = 0.23, 95 % CI: 0.11-0.48, P < 0.001), with a cutoff value of <4.0 g/dL. Among SSI cases with identified pathogens, 17 were caused by skin commensal bacteria, while 7 were attributed to intra-abdominal comm-ensal bacteria. Subgroup analysis revealed that AGR and Lympocyte to Monocyte Ratio (LMR) were significantly higher in the intra-abdominal infection group than in the superficial infection group (P = 0.028 and P = 0.045, respectively). CONCLUSION: Preoperative ALB levels serve as a crucial predictor of postoperative SSI in spinal surgery, with a cutoff value of <4.0 g/dL. Additionally, the type of bacterial infection (superficial vs. intra-abdominal) may be influenced by preoperative patient factors.

In patients with ankylosed hips, activities of daily living (ADL) are often restricted because of the limited range of hip motion and adjacent joint disorders that cause severe low back and knee pain. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) can improve hip mobility and reduce adjacent joint pain; however, muscle atrophy around the hip joint potentially interferes with ADL improvement. Herein, we describe the seven-year clinical outcomes of computed tomography (CT)-based navigation THA in three patients with ankylosed hips. Additionally, we report the longitudinal changes in muscle atrophy; the muscle volume around the hip joint was measured using CT analysis. The three patients include one woman and two men, aged 75, 65, and 73, respectively, who underwent THA using a CT-based navigation system. None of the patients experienced THA post-operative complications, and all were able to walk with a cane and sit freely in a chair. The hip function of the Harris Hip Score improved from a mean of 71.0 points to 86.6 points at seven years postoperatively. The volume of the gluteus maximus muscle increased in all patients (mean +10.1%); however, the gluteus medius and minimus decreased in all patients (mean, -42.2% and -51.0%). THA with CT-based navigation for ankylosed hips improves ADL, hip joint function, and muscle volume of the gluteus maximus in mid-term clinical results; however, muscle volume recovery in the gluteus medius and minimus can be insufficient.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess whether an excessively increased medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) resulted in the deterioration of long-term clinical outcomes after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: A total of 69 OA knees that underwent OWHTO, with follow-up for a minimum of 10 years, were retrospectively reviewed. The knee and function scores of the Knee Society Score were assessed separately, and cases with a score decline greater than or equal to the minimal clinically important difference from postoperative 1 to 10 years were defined as showing clinical deterioration. Cartilage status was assessed with arthroscopy at the time of osteotomy (first-look) and plate removal (second-look) according to the International Cartilage Repair Society grading system. The outcomes were compared between knees with MPTA ≤ 95° (n = 27) and MPTA > 95° (n = 42). RESULTS: The mean knee and function scores at postoperative 10 years in MPTA ≤ 95° knees (86.8 ± 9.6 and 90.4 ± 13.1) were not significantly different from those in MPTA > 95° knees (85.8 ± 11.5 and 86.9 ± 14.2). The rate of clinical deterioration in knee and function scores was not significantly different between MPTA ≤ 95° knees (26% and 26%) and MPTA > 95° knees (21% and 36%). No significant differences were found between the MPTA ≤ 95° and MPTA > 95° groups in the cartilage status of all compartments at both first-look and second-look (postoperative 21 months) arthroscopies. CONCLUSIONS: Increased MPTA > 95° after OWHTO is not associated with deterioration of minimum 10-year clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cruciate ligaments from patients with osteoarthritis (OA). It was hypothesized that the expression level of VEGF is associated with the extent of degeneration of the cruciate ligaments. METHODS: Remnants of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) from patients with acute ACL injury due to trauma, and ACLs and posterior cruciate ligaments (PCLs) from patients with primary OA were assessed histologically. Samples were immunohistochemically stained with VEGF and tenomodulin, and immunopositive cells were quantitatively assessed by the histological grades of ligament degeneration. RESULTS: Histological analysis showed significant degeneration of the ACLs from OA patients compared with trauma patients, with increased expression of VEGF correlating with higher grades of degeneration. Conversely, tenomodulin expression was lower in more degenerated cruciate ligaments. The percentage of VEGF-positive cells was correlated inversely with that of tenomodulin-positive cells. CONCLUSIONS: Increased VEGF expression is associated with degeneration of cruciate ligaments in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the anterior-posterior (AP) displacement of the tibial tuberosity (TT) and to assess the difference between closed wedge and opening wedge high tibial osteotomies (OWHTO and CWHTO). METHODS: One hundred consecutive knees with osteoarthritis that underwent OWHTO (50 knees) or CWHTO (50 knees) were investigated retrospectively. The femorotibial angle (FTA) was measured on AP radiographs of the knee. AP displacement of the TT, posterior tibial slope (PTS), the modified Blackburne-Peel index (mBPI), and the modified Caton-Deschamps index (mCDI) were measured on lateral radiographs of the knee. RESULTS: Patients had a mean correction angle of 12.58 ± 2.84° and 18.98 ± 5.14° (P < 0.001), with a mean AP displacement of TT of 0.84 ± 2.66 mm and 7.78 ± 3.41 mm (P < 0.001) in OWHTO and CWHTO, respectively. The AP displacement of the TT per correction of 1° was significantly greater in CWHTO than in OWHTO (P < 0.001). A significant correlation was found between the correction angle and AP displacement of the TT in CWHTO (r = -0.523, P < 0.001), but not in OWHTO. The change of PTS per correction of 1° was significantly greater in OWHTO than in CWHTO (P < 0.001). The changes of mBPI and mCDI per correction of 1° were significantly greater in CWHTO than in OWHTO (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: There was greater anterior displacement of the TT in CWHTO than in OWHTO, which was correlated with the correction angle. The results suggested that CWHTO would be better than OWHTO when a concomitant anteriorization of TT is required.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most intractable orthopedic diseases, partly because of the difficulty in differentiating septic from aseptic conditions. We aimed to evaluate and consolidate the diagnostic accuracy of the quantitative assessment of serum albumin (Alb), globulin (Glb), and albumin-globulin ratio (AGR), alone or in combination with the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP), for PJI. We searched the PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases for studies that quantitatively measured Alb, Glb, or AGR for the diagnosis of PJI up until the 30 April 2023. A total of 2339 patients were included from 10 studies, including 845 patients with a definitive diagnosis of PJI and 1494 with non-PJI. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) in the summary receiver-operating characteristic curve were as follows: 0.625, 0.732, and 0.715 for Alb; 0.815, 0.857, and 0.887 for Glb; 0.753, 0.757, and 0.875 for AGR; 0.788, 0.837, and 0.876 for CRP; 0.879, 0.890, and 0.917 for the CRP-Alb ratio; and 0.845, 0.855, and 0.908 for the CRP-AGR ratio. Serum Alb, Glb, and AGR levels are feasible and accurate diagnostic markers for PJI, and the combination of these markers with CRP levels may potentially improve preoperative serum diagnostic accuracy. Future prospective studies are required to verify these findings because of the small numbers of included studies.

Fungal periprosthetic joint infections are one of the most intractable orthopedic disorders. Continuous local antibiotic perfusion allows direct administration of the antifungal agent micafungin into the local infection area at biofilm-disruptive concentrations, while controlling the dead space in addition to conventional treatment. Although the appropriate use of continuous local antibiotic perfusion requires familiarity with the characteristics of local antibiotic perfusion, it is a versatile treatment modality that can improve the clinical outcomes of fungal periprosthetic joint infection in combination with conventional treatment methods.

INTRODUCTION: Antibiotic susceptibility is very important for the successful treatment of orthopedic infections, particularly for implant-related infections. While the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Staphylococcus species were well investigated for the isolates from the respiratory tract, investigations for orthopedic pathogens are very limited. We investigated the antibiotic MIC values of Staphylococcus species isolated from orthopedic infections and compared them with those of respiratory medicine isolates used as a control. METHODS: The MICs of vancomycin (VCM), arbekacin (ABK), teicoplanin (TEIC), linezolid (LZD), and rifampicin (RFP) of a total of consecutive 259 (89 orthopedic and 170 respiratory) Staphylococcus speciesisolated in our laboratory from January 2013 to July 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Differences between the MICs of each antibiotic in orthopedic and respiratory samples were determined. RESULTS: The number of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) with a VCM MIC of <0.5 μg/mL among respiratory isolates was significantly higher than that among orthopedic isolates, while those with a MIC of 2 μg/mL were significantly lower (P = 0.0078). The proportion of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) isolates with a VCM MIC of 2 μg/mL was significantly higher in orthopedic samples than that of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (P < 0.001) in respiratory isolates. The proportion of MRCNS orthopedic isolates with an RFP MIC of >2 μg/mL was significantly higher (P = 0.0058) than that of other orthopedic staphylococci. CONCLUSIONS: The VCM MICs of Staphylococcus species from orthopedic infections were higher than those of respiratory samples, particularly MRCNS from implant-related samples.

BACKGROUND: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) patients require subsequent annual screening for postoperative complications. Ultrasonography may be useful for this purpose but lacks a screening protocol for hips. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography for detecting postoperative complications in HRA patients using a screening protocol that specifically targets periprosthetic muscles. METHODS: We enrolled 45 hips from 40 HRA patients with a mean follow-up period of 8.2 years. MRI and ultrasonography scans were simultaneously conducted at follow-up. The ultrasonography assessments were conducted on the anterior part of the hip that targets iliopsoas, sartorius, rectus femoris, lateral with anterior superior and inferior iliac spine (ASIS and AIIS) as bony landmarks, and the lateral and posterior parts that target fascia tensor, short rotators, and gluteus minimus, medius, and maximus with greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity as bony landmarks. The accuracy of diagnosing postoperative abnormalities and the visibility of periprosthetic muscles were compared between these two modalities. RESULTS: Both MRI and ultrasonography detected an abnormal region in eight cases comprising two infections, two pseudotumors, and four patients with greater trochanteric bursitis. Among these cases, four hips required implant removal. The increase in anterior space, measured as the distance between the iliopsoas and resurfacing head, was a good indicator for the abnormal mass in these four HRA cases. In the assessment of periprosthetic muscles, MRI showed a much lower visibility than ultrasonography in the iliopsoas (6.7% vs. 100%), gluteus minimus (6.7% vs. 88.9%), and short rotators (8.8% vs. 71.4%) due to implant halation. CONCLUSIONS: By targeting periprosthetic muscles, ultrasonography can detect postoperative complications as effectively as MRI assessments in HRA patients. Ultrasonography has superior visibility in the periprosthetic muscles of HRA patients, indicating its utility for the screening of small legions in these cases which may not be visible by MRI.

Previous work suggested that tenogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) was suppressed by upregulated expression of the angiogenic marker vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that anti-VEGF antibody, bevacizumab, promotes in vitro tenogenic differentiation and maturation of two distinct types of TSPCs, tendon proper-derived cells (TDCs), and paratenon-derived cells (PDCs) originating from rat Achilles tendon. TDCs and PDCs were isolated from the tendon proper and the paratenon of rat Achilles tendons. TDCs and PDCs were cultured for 3 days on plates with or without VEGF. TDCs and PDCs were also cultured in collagen gel matrix, and the blocking effect of VEGF was examined by the addition of 100 ng/mL of bevacizumab. Effects of bevacizumab on tenogenic differentiation were assessed using real-time PCR, immunofluorescent staining, and western blotting. VEGF significantly attenuated expression of the Tnmd gene in both PDCs and TDCs (P<0.05). Expressions of the Scx, Tnmd, and Col1a1 genes were significantly upregulated by the addition of bevacizumab (P<0.05). Immunofluorescent staining showed that the percentage of tenomodulin-positive PDCs and TDCs was significantly higher with bevacizumab treatment than in control cultures (P<0.05). Western blotting showed that bevacizumab suppressed pVEGFR-2 protein expression in both PDCs and TDCs. Bevacizumab promoted the in vitro tenogenic differentiation and maturation of two distinct TSPCs derived from rat Achilles tendon. Since the previous studies demonstrated that TSPCs have a potential to contribute to tendon repair, attenuating VEGF levels in TSPCs by administration of bevacizumab is a novel candidate therapeutic option for promoting tendon repair.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is primarily caused by bony impingement between the acetabulum and femoral neck during hip motion. Increasing posterior pelvic tilt improves hip range of motion in patients with FAI. Purpose: To use computer simulation analysis to compare the effects of 3-dimensional (3D) changes in pelvic tilt (sagittal tilt [St], axial rotation, and coronal tilt) with changes in a single plane (St), with the aim of improving range of motion in patients with FAI. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: We evaluated 43 patients with FAI treated by arthroscopic cam resection. A 3D simulation was used to construct the following pelvic models: a 5° and 10° increase posteriorly in St (St5° and St10°) and a combined 5° change in St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt (Complex5°) from the baseline of the anterior pelvic plane. Improvements in maximum internal rotation (MIR) at 45°, 70°, and 90° of hip flexion and improvements in maximum flexion with no internal rotation were compared among the St5°, St10°, and Complex5° models. The pelvic models of each single-plane change of 5° and 10° were evaluated in the same simulation. Results: At 90° and 70°, there was a significant difference between the Complex5° and St10° models with respect to improvement in MIR (P = .004 at 90° of flexion; P = .017 at 70° of flexion). There was no significant difference in MIR at 45° of flexion (P = .71) or in maximum flexion (P = .42). Conclusion: At 70° and 90° of hip flexion, a combined change in 3D pelvic alignment of 5° (ie, St, axial rotation, and coronal tilt) was more effective in improving hip MIR than a 10° change in St only. Clinical Relevance: Effective physical therapy for FAI should address pelvic motion in all 3 planes rather than in a single plane.

ABSTRACT

Objectives

To evaluate joint orientation angles of the coronal plane in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in comparison with osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods

In total, 72 patients with RA (90 knees) and 76 patients with OA (90 knees) who underwent total knee arthroplasty were enrolled. The hip–knee–ankle (HKA) angle, mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), and joint line convergence angle (JLCA) were measured on preoperative long-leg radiographs in the standing position. Student’s t-test was used to assess differences in radiographic data between patients with RA and OA.

Results

In knees with RA and OA, the mean HKA was −3.4 ± 9.4° and −10.6 ± 8.0°, the mean mLDFA was 86.6 ± 3.7° and 88.2 ± 2.7°, the mean mMPTA was 85.9 ± 4.0° and 84.3 ± 3.7°, and the mean JLCA was 2.7 ± 4.2° and 6.8 ± 4.1°. All parameters in the knees with RA were more valgus than those with OA.

Conclusions

Knees with RA had a great variability in joint orientation angles on the coronal plane; the whole lower limb alignment and the femur, tibia, and joint were more valgus in knees with RA than with OA.

Preoperative diagnosis of infection is important for appropriate surgical treatment of patients with rapid hip destruction (RHD). We investigated whether test results, including inflammatory and nutritional markers, could be used to accurately differentiate infectious and non-infectious RHD. Fifty patients with RHD who underwent total hip arthroplasty within a year of onset were observed. Infectious RHD was defined as ≥ 2 positive serological inflammatory, microbiological, or pathological evaluations. The albumin to globulin ratio (AGR), C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), modified GPS (mGPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were calculated from the blood test results. In the infectious group, the white blood cell count, platelet count, CRP level, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CAR, GPS, mGPS, and PLR were significantly higher, while the albumin level, AGR, PNI, and GNRI were significantly lower. The CRP and albumin levels showed the highest sensitivity (1.00 for both; specificity of 0.87 and 0.73, respectively) in diagnosing infectious RHD. Combining these measurements (CAR) increased the specificity to 0.92. The accuracy of other nutritional assessments was good. Thus, nutritional assessment as well as conventional assessment of the inflammatory response can improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis of infectious RHD.

The rapid detection of etiological agents is important for the successful treatment of iliopsoas abscess (IPA). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical utility of a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that targets the mecA gene for methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) and the 16S rRNA gene for pan-bacteria. Our retrospective diagnostic study included 22 patients exhibiting IPAs and four patients with noninfectious iliopsoas mass regions who underwent computerized tomography or ultrasonography-guided biopsy and/or surgical treatment. Clinical symptoms, serum data, imaging analysis, and tissue microbiological culture were utilized for the diagnosis of IPA. The diagnostic accuracy of real-time PCR was determined based on the diagnosis of IPA and microbiological culture results. The microbiological culture was positive for 12 IPA cases that included 2 MRSA infections. Among 12 culture-positive IPA cases, 16S rRNA-PCR was positive in 12 and MRS-PCR in two. Among 10 culture-negative IPA cases, including 3 TB cases, 16S rRNA-PCR was positive in 8 and MRS-PCR in 2. In noninfectious iliopsoas mass patients, neither 16S rRNA nor MRS-PCR detected bacterial DNA. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive, and negative predictive values of 16S rRNA-PCR for diagnosing IPA were 0.91, 1.00, 1.00, and 0.67, respectively, while those for the diagnosis of MRS infection with MRS-PCR were 1.00, 0.92, 1.00, and 0.50, respectively. Real-time PCR targeting bacterial DNA can detect bacterial DNA in culture-negative cases and offer improved detectability of MRS infection in IPA patients.

Purpose:

Dislocation is a major complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and pelvic stiffness is reportedly a significant risk factor for dislocation. This study aimed to investigate spinopelvic alignment, and identify preoperative factors associated with postoperative pelvic mobility.

Methods:

We enrolled 78 THA patients with unilateral osteoarthritis. The sagittal spinopelvic alignment in the standing and sitting position was measured using an EOS imaging system before and 3 months after THA. We evaluated postoperative pelvic mobility, and defined cases with less than 10° of sacral slope change as pelvic stiff type. The preoperative characteristics of those with postoperative stiff type, and preoperative factors associated with risk of postoperative stiff type were evaluated.

Results:

Sagittal spinopelvic alignment except for lumbar alignment were significantly changed after THA.A total of 13 patients (17%) were identified as postoperative pelvic stiff type. Preoperative lower pelvic and lumbar mobility were determined as significant factors for prediction of postoperative pelvic stiff type. Among these patients, nine patients (69%) did not have pelvic stiffness before THA. Preoperative factor associated with the risk of postoperative pelvic stiff type in those without preoperative stiffness was lower lumbar lordosis in standing position by multivariate regression analysis.

Conclusion:

Spinopelvic alignments except lumber alignment was significantly changed after THA. The lower pelvic mobility and lumbar alignment were identified as the preoperative predictive factors for postoperative pelvic mobility. Evaluation of preoperative lumbar alignment may be especially useful for the prediction in patients with hip contractures, for these patients may possibly experience the extensive perioperative change in pelvic mobility.

OBJECTIVE: Postoperative complications and non-periprosthetic fractures (NPPFs), which was defined as a fracture existing non- periprosthetic implant, after total hip arthroplasty (THA) have a negative effect on the patients' ability to perform activities of daily living. Thus, investigating these incidences of patients after THA will be valuable as it lead to a more strategic physical therapy interventions and advanced research to prevent these problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative complications related to implants and NPPFs in patients after THA, a more than 10-year follow-up. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study. A total 892 patients with hip osteoarthritis who underwent primary THA were analyzed (age at surgery was 45-79 years; 805 women; the average follow-up period was 12.4-year). The postoperative complications related to implants and NPPFs were calculated using data from their medical records. RESULTS: The postoperative complications occurred in 37 patients, and NPPFs occurred in 72 patients, who were significantly older, and hip and knee OA diagnosis, compared to patients without NPPFs ( p <.05). The most common cause of NPPFs was minor trauma. In patients aged ≧ 65 years, significantly more NPPFs occurred during the first year after surgery( p <.05). CONCLUSION: More than 10-year after THA, the incidence of NPPFs was higher than that of postoperative complications related to implants. Older patients who had hip and knee OA were a significantly higher risk of developing NPPFs due to falls within the first year after surgery.

Background: Although rotational changes in lower limb alignment after total hip arthroplasty (THA) affect functional stem anteversion, less is known about the effects of femoral rotational alignment in the standing position. This study investigated postoperative changes in femoral rotation and evaluated the association with whole-body alignment in patients who underwent THA. Methods: Sixty-five patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis who underwent THA were enrolled. Preoperative and postoperative femoral rotation in the standing and supine positions were measured using EOS 2D/3D X-ray imaging system and computed tomography. Negative and positive changes in femoral rotation angle were indicative of internal and external rotation, respectively. The associations between femoral rotation and preoperative clinical and radiological factors were investigated. Results: Femoral rotation showed significant internal changes in both the standing (-4.7° ± 11.0°) and supine (-3.5°± 10.9°) positions after THA. The preoperative femoral rotation angle, knee flexion angle, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), lumbar lordosis, body mass index, age, and internal and external rotation angles of the hip range of motion on the contralateral side were significantly correlated with femoral rotation in the standing position after THA. Multiple regression analysis showed that preoperative femoral rotation (β = 0.416, P < .001) and SVA (β = 0.216, P = .040) were significant predictors of postoperative femoral rotation in the standing position. Conclusions: Femoral rotation had significant association with the patient-inherent posture represented by the SVA in the standing position. Because extensive external change of femoral rotation may increase the risk of hip impingement and dislocation, careful attention is required in patients with external femoral rotation and forward bent posture in the preoperative standing position.

BACKGROUND: Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) can induce bone mineral density (BMD) loss around the femoral implant. Several studies using drug have described methods to prevent BMD loss around implants following THA. Switching from teriparatide to alendronate was reported to increase lumbar BMD; on the other hands, it is unclear whether switching from teriparatide to alendronate is effective around the implant. The aim of this study is that changes in BMD is compared in patients switched from teriparatide to alendronate, in patients treated with alendronate alone, and in control patients without medication after total hip arthroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were randomized into three groups, those switched to alendronate after teriparatide (switch: n = 17), those receiving continuous alendronate (ALD: n = 15), and control untreated patients (control: n = 16) and followed up for 2 years after THA. Baseline periprosthetic BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 1 week after THA, followed by subsequent measurements at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Lumbar BMD was also evaluated at preoperatively, 1 and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS: Two years after surgery, BMD (%) at zone 1 was significantly higher in the switch group than in the control group (P = 0.02). BMD (%) at zone 7 was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than in the control group (P = 0.01, P = 0.03). Lumbar BMD (%) anterior-posterior (AP) side was significantly higher in the switch group than in the ALD and control groups 2 years after surgery. On the other hand, lumbar BMD (%) lateral side was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than control group 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Switching therapy had a significant effect on BMD of the lumbar spine and zones 1 and 7 at 2 years postoperatively. At zone 1 in particular, it was found to be more effective than ALD alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION: UMIN, registry number UMIN000016158. Registered 8 January 2015.

<sec><title>Background:</title> Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) impingement is an important risk factor for revision hip arthroscopy. Although a morphological classification system is available, evaluating AIIS impingement with respect to joint kinematics remains a challenge.

</sec><sec><title>Purpose:</title> To use computer simulation analysis to ascertain the prevalence of AIIS impingement before and after osteochondroplasty.

</sec><sec><title>Methods:</title> A total of 35 joints from 30 cases (20 males and 10 females; average age: 43.3 ± 13.7 years) were analyzed. All joints had cam morphology and underwent hip arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. A three-dimensional model of each joint was constructed pre- and postoperatively. Joint kinematic simulation software (ZedHip®, Lexi, Tokyo) was used to identify the impingement point on the acetabular side and the incidence (expressed as a percentage) of AIIS impingement calculated. Radiographic and clinical evaluation was performed pre- and postoperatively.

</sec><sec><title>Results:</title> AIIS impingement was observed postoperatively in six joints but preoperatively in only one joint. The rate of AIIS postoperative impingement was significantly higher than that of preoperative impingement. All impingement points were located on the inferior aspect of the AIIS apex. However, there were no significant differences between the AIIS impingement and non-impingement groups in terms of clinical outcome.

</sec><sec><title>Conclusion:</title> The incidence of AIIS impingement after osteochondroplasty was 17% by computer simulation analysis. Osteochondroplasty may result in subsequent AIIS impingement.

Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy of preoperative planning for implant placement with consideration of pelvic tilt in total hip arthroplasty (THA), and the accuracy of a computed tomography (CT)-based computer navigation system for implant positioning.Methods: We examined 54 hips of 48 patients (38 females, 10 males; mean age 60.1 [range 38-89] years) who underwent THA and were followed-up for one year postoperatively. Preoperative planning included determination of cup inclination, cup anteversion, and stem antetorsion, using the anterior pelvic plane (APP) in the supine position as a reference. In the anterior tilt group (preoperative APP ≥10 degrees while standing), the standing APP value minus 10 degrees was the target reference, as the pelvis in such patients tends to tilt backward by up to 10 degrees after THA. For patients with lumbar-lordotic angles ≤30 degrees due to lumbar compression fractures, etc., in the posterior tilt group (preoperative APP ≤−10 degrees while standing), the midpoint between the supine and the standing APP values was the target reference, as the pelvis in such patients tends to tilt backward somewhat further after THA. Cup inclination, cup anteversion, and combined anteversion (CA) in the supine and the standing positions were examined one year after THA. The accuracy of the computer navigation system was also examined.Results: The mean CA was 34.6±7.5 degrees in the supine position and 39.5±7.5 degrees in the standing position. CA did not differ among the three subgroups (anterior, intermediate, posterior tilt) in either the supine or the standing position, indicating that the implant placements were equally effective. The desired CA (37.3 degrees) was midway between those in the supine and the standing positions for each subgroup. The mean absolute errors between preoperative planning and postoperative CT measurement were 3.2±2.3, 3.6±3.1, 6.0±8.7, and 6.3±7.1 degrees for cup inclination, cup anteversion, stem antetorsion, and CA, respectively.Conclusions: We obtained favorable THA results with preoperative planning for implant placement with pelvic tilt by demonstrating that supine and standing CA were unaffected by preoperative pelvic tilt at one year postoperatively. The mean absolute error of CA between preoperative planning and postoperative measurement was 6 degrees with the use of a CT-based navigation system for implant positioning.
