ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of internal fixation and prosthesis revision in the treatment of periprosthesis fracture after total knee arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 35 patients (35 knees) with periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed from January 2008 to January 2022 in the Department of Orthopaedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, including 13 males and 22 females, aged 71.4±4.1 years (range, 62-81 years). Left knee 19 cases, right knee 16 cases. There were 20 cases of Rorabeck type II and 15 cases of Rorabeck type III. The initial replacement was performed using a fixed platform post-stabilized knee prosthesis, which was fixed with bone cement. Patients with Rorabeck type II were treated with internal fixation alone (internal fixation group) and patients with Rorabeck type III underwent revision with replacement prosthesis (revision group). The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, range of motion (ROM) of knee joint, alignment of lower extremity and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 5.2±3.6 years (range, 1-12 years). Intraoperative blood loss was 680±102 ml (range, 420-1100 ml). The operative time in the internal fixation group was 105±17 min, which was less than 140±21 min in the revision group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.450, P<0.001). There was no complication of nerve or blood vessel injury during the operation. Five cases in the internal fixation group had unsatisfactory lower extremity force lines (>3° deviation from normal) after surgery, and all lower extremity force lines in the revision group were satisfied, and the difference in the satisfaction rate of lower extremity force lines between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.057). The fracture healing time, knee ROM and HSS scores at the last follow-up were 5.1±1.3 months, 86°±5° and 84±5 in the internal fixation group and 4.8±1.5 months, 83°±6° and 82±4 in the revision group. One case in the revision group was diagnosed postoperatively with periprosthetic infection with pathogen culture suggestive of Candida albicans, recurrent anterior knee sinus tracts and patellar ectasia, which progressed to osteomyelitis, and mid-thigh amputation was performed 1 year after revision. Conclusion:The stability of prosthesis is an important reference for the treatment of periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty. Strong internal fixation in patients with unloosened prosthesis and revision with replacement of prosthesis in patients with loose prosthesis can achieve good knee joint function.

ABSTRACT

Effective bone repair and regeneration is crucial for treating skeletal tissue defects, including osteonecrosis, nonunion fractures, osteoporosis, and various other bone deficiencies. Exosomes, as cellular secretory vesicles, are pivotal in mediating intercellular communication through their cargo of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes, in particular, have emerged as promising agents in bone repair and regeneration, showing potential for practical application and clinical translation. Nonetheless, their functional capacity and therapeutic efficacy require enhancement. This review delineates exosome optimization strategies aimed at augmenting secretion and functionality, alongside the incorporation of exosome-functionalized biomaterials for bone healing. Evidence indicates that physical stimulation, molecular interventions, and small-molecule or biomaterial stimuli are effective in increasing exosome output. Moreover, engineering exosomes and their parental cells can further potentiate their therapeutic function. The amalgamation of exosomes with biomaterials represents a burgeoning approach in bone tissue engineering, offering novel therapeutic avenues. This comprehensive analysis aims to guide future applications and the clinical adoption of exosomes in bone tissue restoration.

ABSTRACT

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of Connexin-43 (Cx43) on osteoblasts proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and its regulatory mechanism.Methods:Osteoblasts were isolated and cultured in vitro. The osteogenic activity of osteoblasts was detected by alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining after dexamethasone treatment. The expression of Cx43, Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), ALP, collagen I type (COL-I) and proliferation-related proteins PCNA and CDK4 in osteoblasts were detected by Western-blot. The expressions of osteoblast proteins were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The proliferation of osteoblasts was detected by CCK8 assay. The lentivirus-mediated Cx43 gene overexpression plasmid (Lv-Cx43) was constructed and transfected into osteoblasts. The osteogenic activity and proliferation ability of osteoblasts were further detected by the above methods. Cx43 in osteoblasts was overexpressed by pretreating PD98059. The osteogenic activity and proliferation of Cx43 in overexpressed osteoblasts was detected by CCK8 and alizarin red staining.Results:The isolated osteoblasts have osteogenic differentiation ability. Compared with the control group, 1×10 -6 mol/L dexamethasone treatment could reduce the formation of calcium nodules in osteoblasts. With the increase of dexamethasone treatment duration, the protein expression of Cx43, Runx2, ALP and COL-I in osteoblasts decreased gradually, while the expression of PCNA, CDK4 and p-ERK1/2 decreased. The OD values of normal osteoblasts at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 d were 0.316±0.043, 0.891±0.623, 1.683±0.154, 2.315±0.721 and 2.891±0.323, respectively. However, The OD values of osteoblasts treated with dexamethasone were 0.376±0.021, 0.657±0.121, 1.124±0.285, 1.521±0.272, 1.987±0.584, respectively. OD values of dexamethasone treated osteoblasts were lower than those of normal group at 2, 3 and 4 days ( P<0.05). The relative expression levels of Cx43 mRNA in control group, Lv-NC group and Lv-Cx43 group were 0.541±0.086, 0.598±0.018 and 1.000±0.082, respectively. The mRNA expression level of Cx43 in Lv-Cx43 group was higher than that in control group and Lv-NC group ( P<0.05). The ratio of Cx43 protein band to the gray value of GAPDH band in control group, Lv-NC group and Lv-Cx43 group were 0.816±0.737, 0.738±0.643 and 1.145±1.101, respectively. The expression level of Lv-Cx43 was higher than that in control group and Lv-NC group ( P<0.05). The expressions of Runx2, ALP, COL-I mRNA and related marker proteins in Lv-Cx43 group were higher than those in control group and Lv-NC group ( P<0.05). The number of calcium nodules in the Lv-Cx43 group was significantly higher than that in the control group and Lv-NC group. The OD value of osteoblasts and the number of calcium nodules in Lv-Cx43+PD98059 group were significantly lower than those in Lv-Cx43 group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The proliferation and differentiation ability of osteoblasts is significantly decreased after the treatment of dexamethasone with decreased expression of Cx43. Overexpression of Cx43 can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts, which may be regulated through the ERK1/2 pathway.

ABSTRACT

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused by the blockage of the blood supply of the femoral head due to by a variety of reasons, resulting in the death of the bone in the femoral head, which is characterized by osteonecrosis occurdead bone resorption-new bone formation. And total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the final choice for the vast majority of these patients. Though treating hard, it is necessary to choose an appropriate head-preserving treatment in the early stage to delay the time of THA.Methods to treat femoral head necrosis varies, however, it is still hard to have a uniform standard until now. Thus, this paper discusses the epidemiological characteristics, related risk factors, pathology, stage, current head-preserving methods and prognostic factors of femoral head necrosis, so as to further enhance clinicians' understanding of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and provide reference to choose more appropriate head-preserving methods for those patients. As demonstrated in literatures, in China, the incidence of non-traumatic ONFH in males is significantly higher than that in females, and it is more common in northern residents and urban residents. In addition, glucocorticoid intake, hyperlipidemia, heavy smoking and alcohol abuse tend to increase the risk of ONFH; Histologically, osteonecrosis and repair of the femoral head occurred after blood supply was blocked; In terms of pathological staging, Ficat staging is the most commonly used and most directly classification method; core decompression, non-vascularized bone grafting, vascularized bone grafting and osteotomy are still the mainstream surgical methods at present. Patient's age, etiology, stage, etc are important factors affecting the prognosis of ONFH. Therefore, surgeons can choose the most appropriate treatment for the patients according to their specific conditions and prognostic factors.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of connexin-43 (Cx43) in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head and osteoblasts in rats and its regulation mechanism.Methods:The model of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (SIONFH) of rat was established. Micro-CT and HE staining were used to observe the degree of bone trabecular destruction and the incidence of empty lacunae. The expression levels of Cx43 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway related molecules and osteoblast-related proteins in model group and control group were detected by RT-PCT and Western blot. The osteoblast (OB) of rats was further isolated and cultured in vitro. Under treatment of dexamethasone (Dex), Cx43 expression in OB cells was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence. Western blot was used to detect the effect of glucocorticoid (GC) on the expression of related molecules of PI3K/Akt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Akt activator (SC79) and PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) were used to study the molecular mechanism of Dex regulation on Cx43 expression in OB cells. The regulatory relationship between β-catenin and Cx43 was investigated by immunoprecipitation and small interfere RNA (siRNA) technology.Results:The model of SIONFH in rats was successfully established, which proved that Cx43 expression level in the SIONFH model group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the expression level of Cx43 was positively correlated with the expression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway related molecules and osteoblast-related proteins Runx2, ALP and Collagen I Type (COL). In addition, in vitro culture of isolated rat OB cells, the expression of Cx43, p-PI3K, P-Akt and β-catenin in OB cells decreased gradually as the Dex action time went on. Moreover, SC79 pretreatment could significantly reverse the inhibitory effect of GCs on Cx43 expression, while LY294002 could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of GCs on Cx43. In addition, the immunoprecipitation results showed that β-catenin expression was closely related to Cx43 expression, and further studies showed that β-catenin-siRNA could significantly down-regulate the expression of Cx43.Conclusion:Under the action of GC, the expression level of Cx43 in bone tissue and OB cells decreased significantly, and the possible mechanism was that GCs inhibited the expression of Cx43 by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which laid a new theoretical foundation for the further study of the role of Cx43 in the pathogenesis of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis.

ABSTRACT

Revision total hip arthroplasty is becoming more common due to an increasing number of primary total hip arthroplasty procedures being performed annually. Chronic pelvic discontinuity is an important and difficult complication after primary total hip arthroplasty. It is estimated that chronic pelvic discontinuity account for 1%-5% of all acetabular revisions. Pelvic discontinuity occurs mostly in female patients or patients with a history of prior pelvic radiation or rheumatoid arthritis. There are three following crucial factors in regards to achieving satisfied outcomes in treating pelvic discontinuity, the amount of bone stock remaining, biologic in-growth potential and the healing potential of the discontinuity. Treatment approaches include cage reconstruction with bulk acetabular allograft, custom triflange acetabular component, a cup-cage construct, jumbo acetabular cup with porous metal augments, and acetabular distraction with a porous tantalum shell with or without modular porous augments. The present course reported the classification, evaluation, reconstruction options and outcomes of chronic pelvic discontinuity.

ABSTRACT

Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) is one of severe complications after total hip arthroplasty (THA). As the number of patients receiving THA increased recently, the incidence of PFFs also increased dramatically. There are a number of risk factors for PFFs, such as age, sex, falling and prosthesis loosening. The Vancouver classification system is the most commonly used classification method for PFFs. According to the fracture location, PFFs can be divided into type A intertrochanteric fracture, type B fracture around the stem and type C fracture beyond the stem. The Vancouver type B PFF is further subdivided into type B1 with a well?fixed prosthesis, type B2 with a loose prosthesis but with adequate bone stock, and type B3 with a loose prosthesis and poor proximal bone stock simultaneously. Currently, there are some controversies in treating PFFs, mainly including whether the stem is fixed or not, whether the prosthesis needs to be revised, the selection of the stem, the reconstruction of bone defects, and the methods of fracture fixation. We searched literatures related to PFFs after THA. The incidence, risk factors, classification meth?ods, treatment principles and strategies of PFFs were summarized in the present study. Based on our long?term clinical experience, we evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method and provided considerations for the clinical research and selection in treating PFFs.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the result of operation and gait analysis at the early stage after direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods: In this study,20 patients who suffered from necrosis of femoral head or developmental dysplasia of the hip were scheduled to undergo THA.The basic information and visual analogue scale (VAS) score,Harris score before and after surgery were recorded.All of the patients finished the gait analysis before the surgery and 6 weeks and 12 weeks after the surgery,the data were compared with those of normal adult people.Results: Their hospital stay after the operation was 3.3 d,the VAS score after the operation was no more than 4 points,the positions of prosthesis were satisfactory,and there was no dislocation.The gait analysis results contained step speed,stride,the range of motion (ROM) of hip and knee.The step speed before the surgery (preoperation,Pre) was 0.64 m/s,6 weeks after the surgery (6W) was 0.77 m/s,12 weeks after the surgery (12W) was 1.07 m/s,and the control group was 1.19 m/s.The stride at Pre,6W,12W,and control group were 43.15 steps/min,51.42 steps/min,55.52 steps/min,and 57.15 steps/min,respectively.The ROM of hip joint at Pre,6W,12W,and control group were 31.00°,39.62°,40.40°,and 45.67°,respectively.The ROM of knee joint at Pre,6W,12W,and control group were 50.52°,59.28°,67.29°,and 70.42°,respectively.The results of the gait analysis showed that the gait recovery after the direct anterior total hip arthroplasty was very fast and at the 12th week after surgery the gait of the patients was close to the normal adult people.Conclusion: The direct anterior approach is one of the choosable approach of the THA,and this kind of surgery has a better recovery of gait after the operation,and at the end of 12 weeks after the surgery the gait is very close to the normal adult people.But we also need more studies to prove this conclusion.

Objective To investigate biomechanical effects of different joint line height on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and to provide biomechanical evidence for surgical decision during UKA using finite element analysis (FEA).Methods On the basis of knee joint CT data from a healthy volunteer (male,30 years old,165 cm and 60 kg) and UKA prosthesis 3D scanned data,the 3D models of normal knee and UKA were constructed.Subject-specific finite element models with inhomogeneous material property assignment were constructed for normal knee and UKA with 3 different height of joint line (-3 mm,0 mm and +3 mm).Starting from the tibial articular surface,5 sections were extracted with 2 mm interval.30 nodes were selected in medial and lateral area,respectively on each section.The mean stress value of nodes was defined as the stress level of subchondral bone.Results Mean values of stress on polyethylene upper surface of 0,-3 and+3 mm joint line position were 14.84,26.81and 20.86 MPa,and the difference was statistical significant (t0vs-3=4.896,P0vs-3=0.000;t0vs+3=3.455,P0v+3=0.008;t-3vs+3=2.579,P-3vs+3=0.020).Mean values of stress on tibial prosthesis upper surface of 0,-3 and +3 mm joint line position were 29.69,50.49 and 39.99MPa,respectively,and the difference was statistical significant(t0vs-3=5.675,P0vs-3=0.000;t0vs+3=4.755,P0v+3=0.001;t-3vs+3=4.783,P-3vs+3=0.000).When joint line was in 0 mm height,stress level of subchondral bone was similar to that of normal knee.When joint line was in-3 mm height,significantly increased stress was found on polyethylene (increased 81%) and tibial component (increased 70%) surface compared with that of 0 mm height,while stress on trabecular bone under lateral tibial articular surface also increased by 8.7%.When joint line was in +3 mm height,increased stress on polyethylene (increased 41%) and tibial component (increased by 35%) surface were less than that of-3 mm height.Stress on trabecular bone under lateral articular surface decreased by 55.6% compared with 0 mm height.Conclusion During UKA,ensuring a normal height of joint line is benefit to keep the stress path of the medial and lateral tibia similar with normal knee and decrease the risk of premature polyethylene wear,tibial component subsidence and periprosthetic fracture.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate mid?term clinical outcomes associated with total hip arthroplasty using metal?on?met?al prosthesis with large diameter femoral head. Methods From March 2007 to December 2009, 153 patients (177 hips) with ad?vanced hip diseases undergoing large diameter femoral head metal?on?metal total hip arthroplasty in our hospital were retrospec?tively analyzed in this study. Clinical physical examination and radiographic examination were used to evaluate hip function and the incidence of complications (implant loosening and inflammatory pseudotumor);ICP?MS method was used to determine serum cobalt ion and chromium ion levels and compare with normal values;revision was set as the prosthesis endpoint to evaluate the five year survival rate of implant. Results A total of 145 patients (169 hips) were followed up for average 72.4 months (67-80 months), the follow?up rate was 94.8% (145/153). For the involved patients, 85 were male (104 hips), 60 were female (65 hips);age 20-78 years old, average 49.3±12.6 years old. All patients received ASRTM?XL large femoral head metal?on?metal to?tal hip arthroplasty operation. At the end of follow?up, the average Harris hip score improved from 44.2±12.6 points preopera?tively to 91.5±5.7 points. A total of 8 patients received revision, 3 for acetabular implant spinout?out and 5 for hip inflammato?ry pseudotumor. The prosthetic survival rate 5 years after operation was 95.3% (161/169) for revision. Serum cobalt (2.89 μg/L) and chromium (3.31 μg/L) ion levels were significantly increased compared with normal value (<0.5 μg/L). Conclusion For the fixation and friction interface disadvantages, acetabular implant spinout?out and inflammatory pseudotumor might occur for patient receiving large femoral head metal?on?metal THA. The mid?term prosthetic survival rate was also low, with metal ion levels increased significantly. For primary THA, large femoral head metal?on?metal prosthesis cannot be the first choice.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Clinical physicians should pay attention on how to reduce ankle fracture healing wounds, reduce bleeding, improve operating technique, and improve repair effect, especialy for comminuted fracture. It is necessary to understand how to develop a detailed plan before repair, observe specific circumstances of the fracture from multiple angles, and establish three-dimensional images using two-dimensional X-ray films or CT scan. These raise a chalenge for each physician. OBJECTIVE:To explore the application effect of three-dimensional print, minimaly invasive percutaneous screw and locking plate fixation in the repair of ankle fractures. METHODS: A total of 26 cases of fracture of ankle joint were treated from January 2012 to June 2014. There were 9 cases of double ankle fracture, 12 cases of three ankle fractures, and 5 cases of three ankle fractures involved PILON fracture on the lower tibia. They received spiral CT scanning on the ankle joint, and stored in the format of di.com. After processing with minics software, data were converted into STL format, and then input into the three-dimensional printer. Thus, models of ankle joint were made at the ratio of 1:1. The repair scheme was made. After discharge, X-ray films were checked every month to observe the healing condition of fractures. According to Mazur ankle score standard, ankle joint function was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al 26 cases were folowed up for 6-12 months. The fractures were healed. The healing time was 4-6 months, averagely 5.5 months. The healing was good, without vascular and nerve damage, or plate breakage. In accordance with the Mazur ankle score standard, there were excelent in 11 cases, good in 13 cases with an excelent and good rate of 92%. The operation time was (64±15) minutes, and intraoperative blood loss was (100±15) mL. The incision was healed in stage one. These findings confirm that the simulation training and operation in fracture models of three-dimensional print have smal injuries to patients with ankle fracture. The bleeding was less, the operation was simple, the healing time was short, and the functional recovery was rapid, especialy for comminuted fracture.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid on bleeding in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods A retrospective study was performed in 197 RA patients (Steinbrock?er III-IV) following primary unilateral THA from June 2012 to June 2014. The patients were divided to three groups based on the regimen of tranexamic acid:68 patients received a single intravenous dosage of 15 mg/kg tranexamic acid 20 min prior to opera?tion (single dose group);74 patients received an intravenous dosage of 15 mg/kg preoperatively and a second dosage of 10 mg/kg 3 hours postoperatively (repeated dose group);the other 55 patients didn't receive tranexamic acid (control group). The primary out?comes were total blood loss, transfusion rate, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The sec?ondary outcomes were postoperative drainage, hemoglobin (Hb) drop on third day postoperatively and other wound related compli?cations. Results There was less total blood loss (816.80 ± 245.09 ml vs 975.15 ± 216.33 ml vs 1 295.68 ± 263.85 ml), drainage (221.60 ± 70.05 ml vs 337.20 ± 113.10 ml vs 479.74 ± 120.66 ml), transfusion requirement (5.41%vs 10.29%vs 25.45%) and Hb drop (2.71±0.74 g/dl vs 3.18±0.62 g/dl vs 3.83±0.70 g/dl) in experimental group when compared with control group. And the effect was better in repeated dose group, with less total blood loss (816.80 ± 245.09 ml), less transfusion requirement (5.41%) and less postoperative drainage (221.60±70.05 ml). No episode of DVT or PE occurred in either group. There were 8 wound complications in single dose group, 6 in repeated group, and 8 in control group, and there were no statistically difference. Conclusion Intrave?nous administration of tranexamic acid was effective and safe on decreasing blood loss and transfusion requirement in RA patients following THA. Compared with a single dosage of tranexamic acid preoperatively, a second dosage of tranexamic acid 3 hours post?operatively was recommended.
