ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To date, there has been no study investigating the epidemiology and the changes over time, especially regarding indications, in total elbow replacement in Germany. METHODS: Using German procedure classification system (OPS) codes as well as the associated ICD codes, a retrospective analysis from 2005 to 2014 of the data provided by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany was performed. Total elbow arthroplasties (TEAs) were evaluated for admitting diagnoses, sex, and age of patient and distribution of constraint versus unconstraint prostheses. Furthermore, the number and indications of revision elbow arthroplasty (REA) and explantations were identified. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2014, a total of 3872 patients underwent TEA in Germany. This represents a rise of 84% in this period. Almost 77% of the arthroplasties were performed in females, and over 45% were implanted in patients before the age of 70. During the study, a significant increase in TEA performed on patients for trauma from 12 to 42% and concomitantly, a decrease for the arthritis subgroup from 20 to 2.6% could be revealed. Additionally, almost a doubling of REA in that period could be detected (10.3 to 17.1%). The main revision indication could be found in mechanical complications, such as aseptic loosening (72.1%). Conversely, the number of explantations decreased (12.4 to 5.8%). CONCLUSION: During the study period, the number of TEA performed in Germany nearly doubled. Over the years, the most common indication for total elbow arthroplasty changed from inflammatory arthritis to trauma sequel. Further database analysis may help to identify populations at risk and specify reasons for revisions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level IV.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Reportar los resultados clínico-radiológicos del tratamiento de las fracturas del húmero distal (FHD) con prótesis total de codo. Material y métodos. Este trabajo retrospectivo fue realizado en 2 centros quirúrgicos. Se incluyeron: pacientes con FHD, operados con prótesis total de Coonrad-Morrey y con seguimiento > 1 año. Se incluyeron 23 pacientes. Veintiuno de los pacientes eran mujeres con una edad promedio de 79 años. Según la clasificación AO, las fracturas eran: 15 del tipo C3, 7 del tipo C2 y una A2. Todos los pacientes fueron operados sin desinserción del aparato extensor. El seguimiento promedio fue de 40 meses. Resultados. La flexoextensión fue de 123-17°, con un arco de movilidad de 106° (un 80% con respecto al lado sano). El dolor según EVA fue de un punto. El SCM promedio fue de 83 puntos: 8 pacientes tuvieron resultados excelentes, 13 buenos, uno regular y otro malo. El DASH promedio fue de 24 puntos. No se evidenciaron aflojamientos en 15 pacientes. Se observaron 10 complicaciones: 2 desgastes del polietileno, un desensamble protésico, 3 parestesias postoperatorias del nervio cubital, una necrosis de piel que necesitó un colgajo braquial, 2 aflojamientos protésicos, y una falsa vía intraoperatoria. Conclusiones. El tratamiento de FHD con prótesis total de codo puede ofrecer una opción razonable de tratamiento, pero las indicaciones deben estar limitadas a fracturas complejas donde la fijación interna puede ser precaria, en pacientes con osteoporosis y con baja demanda funcional. En pacientes jóvenes la utilización está limitada a casos graves donde no exista otra opción de tratamiento. Nivel de evidencia. Nivel de evidencia IV (AU)


Objective. To report the clinical-functional outcomes of the treatment of humeral distal fractures with a total elbow prosthesis. Material and methods. This retrospective study was performed in two surgical centres. A total of 23 patients were included, with a mean age of 79 years, and of which 21 were women. The inclusion criteria were: patients with humeral distal fractures, operated on using a Coonrad-Morrey prosthesis, and with a follow-up of more than one year. According to AO classification, 15 fractures were type C3, 7 C2 and 1 A2. All patients were operated on without de-insertion of the extensor mechanism. The mean follow-up was 40 months. Results. Flexor-extension was 123-17°, with a total mobility arc of 106° (80% of the contralateral side). Pain, according to a visual analogue scale was 1. The Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI) was 83 points. Excellent results were obtained in 8 patients, good in 13, medium in 1, and poor in 1. The mean DASH (disability) score was 24 points. Conclusion. Treatment of humeral distal fractures with total elbow arthroplasty could be a good treatment option, but indications must be limited to patients with complex fractures, poor bone quality, with osteoporosis and low functional demands. In younger patients, the use is limited to serious cases where there is no other treatment option. Level of Evidence. Level of Evidence IV (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las fracturas de cabeza radial representan 30 casos/100000 habitantes/año. Constituyen el 33-75% de las fracturas del codo. La "Triada terrible de Hotchkiss" se caracteriza por fractura de cúpula radial, coronoides y luxación del codo. Nuestro objetivo es valorar los resultados del tratamiento con artroplastia de cabeza radial. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo. Tamaño muestral de 22 pacientes. Variables analizadas: filiación, clasificación de Mason, aspectos quirúrgicos (demora, tiempo quirúrgico, tipo de prótesis, reintervenciones), tiempo rehabilitador, causas de fracaso protésico, complicaciones, hallazgos radiológicos (según Van-Riet), zonas de aflojamiento (Popovic), escalas M.E.P.S. y Cassebaum. Resultados: Edad media: 42,2 ± 9,9 años. 72.7% profesionales de grandes esfuerzos. La fractura Mason IV fue la más frecuente (72.7%) y la tipo I de Regan Morrey para coronoides (50%). Tiempo de intervención: 130,4 ± 79,8 minutos. Fijación externa en el 13.6%. M.E.P.S. final: 84,1 ± 15,7 puntos. Tiempo rehabilitador: 4,2 ± 1,4 meses. Alta por mejoría: 72.7%. Cassebaum bueno-excelente en el 85.7%. Hubo 13.6% de movilización protésica, 45.5% de osificaciones heterotópicas y sobredimensionado en el 22.7%. Conclusiones:: No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto al momento quirúrgico, tipo protésico o tipo de fractura de coronoides. Tan sólo en este último punto hubo más riesgo de infección a mayor tipo de Regan, asociado a una mayor manipulación quirúrgica. El tratamiento de la triada terrible con prótesis de cúpula radial, en nuestra experiencia arrojó buenos resultados, aunque no está exento de complicaciones


Introduction: Radial head fractures represent 30 cases/100,000 population/year. They constitute 33- 75% of elbow fractures. 'Terrible Triad’s Hotchkiss' is characterized by radial head fracture, coronoid fracture and elbow dislocation. Our goal is to review results of treatment with radial head arthroplasty. Material and methods: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study. Sample size of 22 patients. Variables analyzed were affiliation, Mason’s classification, surgical aspects (moment of surgery, surgical time, type of prosthesis, reoperation), rehabilitation time, causes of prosthetic failure, complications, radiographic findings (according to Van Riet), Popovic’s loosening areas, MEPS and Cassebaum’s scales. Results: Average age: 42.2 ± 9.9 years. 72.7% realized high demanding jobs. Mason’s fracture type IV was the most frequent (72.7%) and the Regan-Morrey’s type I was the most frequent of coronoid fracture (50%). Surgery time: 130.4 ± 79.8 minutes. External fixation was used in 13.6%. M.E.P.S. final: 84.1 ± 15.7 points. Rehabilitation time: 4.2 ± 1.4 months. 72.7% of patients came back to work. Cassebaum’s results were good-excellent in 85.7% of patients. There were 13.6% of prostheses mobilization. heterotopic ossification appeared in 45.5% of cases and 22.7% presented overstuffing. Conclusions: There was no statistically significative difference about moment of surgery, prosthetic type, or coronoid fracture. Just about this last point there was more risk of infection when there was a worse Regan-Morrey’s type, probably due to greater surgical manipulation. Treatment of the terrible triad with radial head prosthesis, in our experience, yielded good results, although it is not without complications

ABSTRACT

La artroplastia de codo representa una buena alternativa terapéutica para un gran porcentaje de pacientes con importante destrucción articular. Sin embargo, muchos cirujanos ortopédicos no están familiarizados con los abordajes o técnicas quirúrgicas relacionados con la sustitución protésica del codo. Además, la incidencia de complicaciones es superior a la de la artroplastia de otras articulaciones, siendo las más importantes, la infección, el fracaso mecánico, la neuropatía cubital y las alteraciones del tríceps. Por estos motivos, la utilización de artroplastia de codo en el medio español puede que sea inferior a la ideal. Aunque las artropatías inflamatorias, como la artritis reumatoide, constituyen la indicación más frecuente para este tipo de intervención, las fracturas de húmero distal y la afección postraumática representan una indicación creciente. Este trabajo intenta resumir los conceptos actuales más importantes relacionados con la artroplastia de codo (AU)


Elbow replacement or arthroplasty is a good therapeutic option for a large percentage of patients with significant joint destruction. However, many orthopaedic surgeons are no familiar with the surgical approaches or techniques associated with elbow replacement implants. Furthermore, the incidence of complications is higher than in other joint replacements, the most important being infections, mechanical failure, cubital neuropathy, and problems with the triceps. For these reasons, the use of bone arthroplasty in Spain may be less than ideal. Although, inflammatory arthritic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are the most frequent indication for this operation, distal humerus fractures and post-traumatic disease are a growing indication. This work attempts to summarise the most important current concepts associated with elbow replacement (AU)
