RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frailty can predict adverse outcomes after various orthopaedic procedures, but is not well-studied in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). We investigated the correlation between the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) and post-rTKA outcomes. METHODS: Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified rTKA patients discharged from January 2017 to November 2019 for the most common diagnoses (mechanical loosening, infection, and instability). Using HFRS, we compared 30-day readmission rate, length of stay, and hospitalization cost between frail and nonfrail patients with multivariate and binomial regressions. The 30-day complication and reoperation rates were compared using univariate analyses. We identified 25,177 mechanical loosening patients, 12,712 infection patients, and 9,458 instability patients. RESULTS: Frail patients had higher rates of 30-day readmission (7.8 versus 3.7% for loosening, 13.5 versus 8.1% for infection, 8.7 versus 3.9% for instability; P < .01), longer length of stay (4.1 versus 2.4 days for loosening, 8.1 versus 4.4 days for infection, 4.9 versus 2.4 days for instability; P < .01), and greater cost ($32,082 versus $27,582 for loosening, $32,898 versus $28,115 for infection, $29,790 versus $24,164 for instability; P < .01). Frail loosening patients had higher 30-day complication (6.8 versus 2.9%, P < .01) and reoperation rates (1.8 versus 1.2%, P = .01). Frail infection patients had higher 30-day complication rates (14.0 versus 8.3%, P < .01). Frail instability patients had higher 30-day complication (8.0 versus 3.5%, P < .01) and reoperation rates (3.2 versus 1.6%, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: The HFRS may identify patients at risk for adverse events and increased costs after rTKA. Further research is needed to determine causation and mitigate complications and costs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frailty has been associated with poor outcomes and higher costs after primary total hip arthroplasty. However, frailty has not been studied in relation to outcomes after revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). This study examined the relationship between the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS), postoperative outcomes, and cost profiles following rTHA. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we identified patients who underwent rTHA from January 2017 to November 2019 in the Nationwide Readmission Database. The 3 most frequently reported diagnosis codes for rTHA were then selected: dislocation; mechanical loosening; and infection. We calculated the HFRS for each patient to determine frailty status. We compared 30-day readmission rate, length of stay, and hospitalization cost between frail and nonfrail patients, using multivariate logistic and negative binomial regressions to adjust for covariates. We identified 36,243 total patients who underwent rTHA. Overall, 15,448 patients had a revision for dislocation, 11,062 for mechanical loosening, and 9,733 for infection. RESULTS: Compared to nonfrail patients, frail patients had higher rates of 30-day readmission, longer length of stay, and higher hospitalization cost. Frail patients had significantly higher rates of 30-day complication and 30-day reoperation. CONCLUSIONS: Frailty, measured using HFRS, is associated with increased postoperative complications and costs after rTHA. The HFRS has the ability to efficiently identify frail patients at-risk for perioperative complications enabling care teams to better focus optimization interventions on this patient cohort.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We analyzed association between viewing two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) images in addition to radiographs with radial head treatment recommendations after accounting for patient and surgeon factors in a survey-based experiment. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-four surgeons reviewed 15 patient scenarios with terrible triad fracture dislocations of the elbow. Surgeons were randomized to view either radiographs only or radiographs and 2D CT images. The scenarios randomized patient age, hand dominance, and occupation. For each scenario, surgeons were asked if they would recommend fixation or arthroplasty of the radial head. Multi-level logistic regression analysis identified variables associated with radial head treatment recommendations. RESULTS: Reviewing 2D CT images in addition to radiographs had no statistical association with treatment recommendations. A higher likelihood of recommending prosthetic arthroplasty was associated with older patient age, patient occupation not requiring manual labor, surgeon practice location in the United States, practicing for five years or less, and the subspecialties "trauma" and "shoulder and elbow." CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that in terrible triad injuries, the imaging appearance of radial head fractures has no measurable influence on treatment recommendations. Personal surgeon factors and patient demographic characteristics may have a larger role in surgical decision making. Level of evidence: Level III, therapeutic case-control study.

RESUMO

Immunosuppressive drugs (IMD) are widely utilized to treat many autoimmune conditions and to prevent rejection in organ transplantation. Cancer has been associated with prolonged use of IMD in transplant patients. However, no detailed, systematic analysis of the risk of cancer has been performed in patients receiving IMD for any condition and duration. We analyzed Medicare data from Texas Medicare beneficiaries, regardless of their age, between 2007 and 2018, from the Texas Cancer Registry. We analyzed the data for the risk of cancer after IMD use associated with demographic characteristics, clinical conditions, and subsequent cancer type. Of 29,196 patients who used IMD for a variety of indications, 5684 developed cancer. The risk of cancer (standardized incidence ratio) was particularly high for liver (9.10), skin (7.95), lymphoma (4.89), and kidney (4.39). Patients receiving IMD had a four fold greater likelihood of developing cancer than the general population. This risk was higher within the first 3 years of IMD utilization and in patients younger than 65 years and minorities. This study shows that patients receiving IMD for any indications have a significantly increased risk of cancer, even with short-term use. Caution is needed for IMD use; in addition, an aggressive neoplastic diagnostic screening is warranted.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frailty has been associated with poor postoperative outcomes in various medical conditions and surgical procedures. However, the relationship between frailty and outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been well-described. This study investigated the association of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) with postoperative events and hospitalization costs after primary TKA. METHODS: Using a nationwide readmissions database, we identified 884,479 patients discharged after primary TKA for osteoarthritis between January 2017 and November 2019. HFRS was calculated for each patient to determine frailty status. We used multivariate logistic regressions to evaluate the association of frailty with 30-readmission rate and negative binomial regressions to evaluate lengths of hospital stay and hospitalization costs. The 30-day reoperation and complication rates were compared using chi-square tests. RESULTS: Frailty was associated with increased odds of 30-day readmissions (odds ratio [OR]: 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.82-1.96), longer lengths of stay (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.43-1.44), and higher hospitalization costs (OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.16-1.17). Frail patients also had significantly higher rates of 30-day reoperations (0.6 versus 0.4%), surgical complications (0.6 versus 0.4%), medical complications (3.4 versus 1.3%), and other complications (0.9 versus 0.5%) (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Frailty, as measured using HFRS, was associated with increased adverse events and health care burdens in patients undergoing TKA. The HFRS could be used to swiftly identify high-risk patients undergoing TKA and to potentially help optimize patients prior to elective TKA. TYPE OF STUDY: Level III retrospective cohort study.

RESUMO

With the annual incidence of hip fractures and hip fracture fixation rising, the need for conversion total hip arthroplasty has also risen. About half of the 280,000 hip fractures that occur annually in the United States are extracapsular. Commonly extracapsular hip fractures are treated with either cephalomedullary nails (CMNs) or sliding hip screws (SHS). More recently, there has been a shift toward increased CMN use due to increased training with this fixation method as well as perioperative and biomechanical benefits. Given this shift, orthopedic surgeons need to understand the factors that lead to CMN failure. Failed CMN treatment leaves both patients and surgeons with few management options including revision fixation with or without osteotomy, conversion total hip arthroplasty, and conversion hemiarthroplasty. Surgeons must consider the patient and injury characteristics before deciding the best treatment plan. Conversion total hip arthroplasty is indicated in younger patients without femoral head and/or acetabular articular injury, degenerative joint disease, or avascular necrosis. Conversion total arthroplasty is a technically demanding and resource-intensive surgery associated with lower success rates and outcomes than primary total hip arthroplasty. Orthopedic surgeons should have thorough understanding of preoperative workup needed prior to surgery, implant selection associated with best outcomes, most common surgical approaches used, intraoperative considerations, and complications associated with conversion total hip arthroplasty. A comprehensive understanding of these concepts gives patients the best chance of having a successful outcome.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Frailty can predict adverse outcomes for multiple medical conditions and surgeries but is not well studied in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We evaluate the association between Hospital Frailty Risk Score and postoperative events and costs after primary THA. METHODS: Using the National Readmissions Database, we identified primary THA patients for osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or hip fracture from January to November 2017. Using Hospital Frailty Risk Score, we compared 30-day readmission rate, hospital course duration, and costs between frail and nonfrail patients for each diagnosis, controlling for covariates. Thirty-day complication and reoperation rates were compared using univariate analysis. RESULTS: We identified 167,700 THAs for osteoarthritis, 5353 for osteonecrosis, and 7246 for hip fractures. Frail patients had increased 30-day readmission rates (5.3% vs 2.5% for osteoarthritis, 7.1% vs 3.3% for osteonecrosis, 8.4% vs 4.3% for fracture; P < .01), longer hospital course (3.4 vs 1.9 days for osteoarthritis, 4.1 vs 2.1 days for osteonecrosis, 6.3 vs 3.9 days for fracture; P < .01), and increased costs ($18,712 vs $16,142 for osteoarthritis, $19,876 vs $16,060 for osteonecrosis, $22,185 vs $19,613 for fracture; P < .01). Frail osteoarthritis patients had higher 30-day complication (4.4% vs 1.9%; P < .01) and reoperation rates (1.6% vs 0.93%; P < .01). Frail osteonecrosis patients had higher 30-day complication rates (5.3% vs 2.6%; P < .01). Frail hip fracture patients had higher 30-day complication (6.6% vs 3.8%; P < .01) and reoperation rates (2.9% vs 1.8%; P < .01). CONCLUSION: Frailty is associated with increased healthcare burden and postoperative events after primary THA. Further research can identify high-risk patients and mitigate complications and costs.

RESUMO

Background: The decision between radial head arthroplasty and open reduction internal fixation in the context of a terrible triad elbow fracture-dislocation is debated. This study investigated both surgeon and patient factors associated with surgeons' recommendations to use arthroplasty. Methods: One hundred fifty-two surgeon members of the Science of Variation Group participated. Surgeons were asked to complete an online survey that included surgeon demographics and 16 patient scenarios. The patient scenarios were randomized using 2 patient variables and 2 anatomical variables. Multilevel logistic mixed regression analysis was performed to identify surgeon and patient variables associated with recommendations for radial head arthroplasty. Results: We found that radial head replacement was recommended in 38% of the scenarios. Scenarios with older patients, with fractures of the whole head, and those involving 3 fracture fragments were independently associated with radial head replacement. Conclusion: We found that most surgeons recommended radial head fracture fixation rather than arthroplasty. Surgeons were more likely to recommend fixation for younger patients with partial articular fractures or with fractures with 3 or fewer fracture fragments. It seems that surgeons are uneasy about using a prosthesis in a young active patient.

RESUMO

Background: The induced membrane technique was originally described as a technique for the reconstruction of long bone defects. The authors performed a systematic review to determine whether the use of the induced membrane technique is effective in large bony defects in the upper extremity. Methods: A qualitative systematic review was conducted using PubMed, EBSCO, and Google Scholar databases to record all studies reporting on complications of the induced membrane technique in the upper extremity. Studies written after 1990 in English language journals met the inclusion criteria. Exclusion criteria were non-English language publications, animal studies, failure to identify the location of the bone defect, failure to identify whether complications were associated with the procedure, and failure to define the length of bone defect. Results: A total of 1422 studies were identified in the original search. Twelve studies satisfied the criteria for inclusion. A total of 70 patients with 83 upper extremity cases were reported: 1 proximal interphalangeal joint, 22 phalanges, 8 metacarpals, 37 forearms, 14 humeri, and 1 clavicle. The mean bone defect size was 4.0 cm (SD, 1.5). The most common complication was infection. We found that complication rates were independent of the location of the bone defect. Complication rates in the upper extremity ranged from 0% to 100%, with a total weighted mean of 10%. Conclusion: The induced membrane technique is an emerging possible treatment of large bone defects in the upper extremity. More research is needed to determine the outcomes of the induced membrane technique in the upper extremity.

RESUMO

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is frequently performed among individuals who golf. This study examines the effect of TKA on pre- and postoperative pain, frequency of sport participation, handicap, driving distance, use of a cart, and overall game enjoyment. Methods: This is a survey-based retrospective review of 71 patients after primary TKA at a tertiary medical facility in upstate New York. Patients were evaluated using postoperative pain scores and asked to complete a survey that included questions about their return to sport. Results: A total of 71 patients were included, with an average age of 70 years old. Postoperatively 85% of patients returned to play within 7.9 months, driving distance increased by 4 yards, patients' golf game improved by 1.07 strokes, and pain during and after golf was significantly decreased. Most patients did not change golf cart usage, and reported unchanged or improved performance in and enjoyment of golf. Conclusions: We found that a majority of patients undergoing TKA returned to playing golf postoperatively. Patients were more likely to report decreased pain both before and after play and positive changes to their golf game. Our results suggest that most patients can expect to return to golf after TKA and the majority will enjoy the sport with less pain postoperatively.

RESUMO

¼: A small yet growing subset of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) candidates are diagnosed with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is a known risk factor for periprosthetic joint infections. Given the poor outcomes associated with TJA infection, we recommend that candidates with HCV receive treatment prior to elective TJA. ¼: Interferon and ribavirin have historically been the standard treatment regimen for the management of HCV; however, adverse events and an inconsistent viral response have limited the efficacy of these therapies. The advent of direct-acting antivirals has resolved many of the issues associated with interferon and ribavirin regimens. ¼: Despite the success of direct-acting antivirals, there are still barriers to seeking treatment for TJA candidates with HCV. Many patients are faced with financial burdens, as insurance coverage of direct-acting antiviral therapies is inconsistent and varies by the patient's state of residence and specific treatment regimen. ¼: TJA candidates with HCV present health-care providers with a unique set of challenges, often encompassing economic, psychosocial, and complex medical concerns. Multidisciplinary care teams can be beneficial when caring for and optimizing this patient cohort. ¼: Management of HCV prior to elective TJA is associated with higher up-front costs but ultimately reduces long-term patient morbidity as well as associated direct and indirect health-care expenditures.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Proximal femur fractures are common traumatic injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. Preparation and positioning for surgical intervention are critical in the proper management of proximal femur fractures. The purpose of this study was to review the current evidence on the various positioning options for patients and to highlight the principles and emerging techniques to help orthopedic surgeons treat this common injury. RECENT FINDINGS: Strategic patient positioning is key to the reduction and fixation of proximal femur fractures without complications. The use of intramedullary devices for the fixation of proximal femur fractures has led to an increased use of the modern fracture table. The fracture table should be used when surgeons are facile with its use to avoid significant complications. Recent best available evidence has suggested increased risk of malrotation associated with the use of the fracture table. The use of the radiolucent table offers the most flexibility, but limits surgeons as multiple assistants are needed to maintain reduction during fixation. Positioning for proximal femur fractures is an important technique for general and trauma orthopedic surgeons. Surgeons need to be aware of the various techniques for positioning of proximal femur fractures due to the diversity of injury patterns and patient characteristics. Each positioning technique has it benefits and potential complications that every orthopaedic surgeon should be familiar with while treating these injuries.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Same-day discharge (SDD) total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is increasingly popular, yet there remain concerns regarding patient safety, complication rates, and unforeseen overnight admission (failure to launch; FTL). The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine the outcomes of a large consecutive SDD-TJA series in the community hospital setting. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 1200 consecutive SDD-TJA candidates between March 2017 and December 2019 by 5 surgeons at a community hospital. Patient demographics, perioperative data including anesthesia type, and 30-day complications were evaluated, including FTL, infection, intraoperative fracture, postoperative periprosthetic fracture or dislocation, return to operating room, and unplanned postoperative care. RESULTS: We included 1200 SDD patients (582/618 total hip arthroplasty/total knee arthroplasty, mean age 62.1 years, 595 females, 605 males). Spinal anesthesia was more common than general anesthesia (1087 vs 113 patients). There were 85 FTLs (7.1%), of this cohort 58.8% were female, with a mean age of 62.4 years. General anesthesia increased the risk of FTL (odds ratio 2.93). Complications resulting in FTL included block-induced neuropraxia (32.1%), orthostatic hypotension (26.1%), urinary retention (19.0%), and nausea (13.1%). Sixteen patients were readmitted within 30 days (1.3%). Six patients returned to the operating room for periprosthetic fracture (4), wound dehiscence (1), and superficial surgical site infection (1). CONCLUSION: SDD-TJA can be safely performed at community hospitals, but general anesthesia should be avoided to decrease risk of FTL. Inpatient programs may allow young surgeons to gain experience with SDD-TJA while retaining overnight admission as a safety net for their patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III (Prognostic).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The direct anterior approach (DAA) for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has recently increased in popularity. Recent evidence has raised concerns about whether use of the DAA is associated with increased rates of superficial and deep infection. The aim of this study was to systematically assess the literature and comparatively evaluate the rate of superficial and deep infection following primary THA using the DAA and non-direct anterior (non-DAA) approaches. METHODS: This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Primary outcome measures evaluated were rates of superficial and deep infection in patients undergoing DAA and non-DAA primary THA. RESULTS: A total of 1,872 studies were identified in the original search, of which 15 studies satisfied inclusion criteria. Our analysis evaluated 120,910 primary THAs, including 14,908 DAA and 106,002 non-DAA. The rate of superficial infection was 1.08% for DAA compared with 1.24% for non-DAA (odds ratio [OR] = 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.79 to 1.30, p = 0.921). The rate of deep infection was 0.73% for DAA compared with 0.51% for non-DAA (OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.80 to 1.32, p = 0.831). CONCLUSIONS: This study found no difference in the rate of superficial or deep infection after primary THA using the DAA versus other surgical approaches. Our results suggest that comparative infection risk need not be a primary driver in the choice of surgical approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

RESUMO

A multidisciplinary approach to the management of pelvic ring injuries has been shown to decrease mortality rates. The primary goals within the emergency room are to assess, resuscitate, and stabilize the patient. The Advanced Trauma Life Support protocol guides the initial assessment of the patient. A pelvic binder or sheet should be applied to help to provide reduction of the fracture and temporary stabilization. The trauma team becomes the primary service for the patient as he or she transitions away from the emergency department. The trauma team must effectively communicate with and serve as the liaison between other specialists as injuries are identified. emodynamic stability should be closely monitored in patients with pelvic ring injuries, involving the assessment of vital signs, imaging findings, and clinical judgment. Angioembolization and peritoneal packing may play a role in helping to control hemorrhage. Urologists should be consulted if a Foley catheter cannot be passed or there is concern for urethral or bladder injury. Further imaging or urologic intervention may be necessary. Orthopaedic surgeons can help to assess the patient, classify the injury, and assist in temporary stabilization while planning definitive fixation.

RESUMO

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a wide spectrum of hip disorders, including neonatal instability, acetabular dysplasia, hip subluxation, and frank dislocation of the hip. It is a common disorder, with a reported incidence of between 0.1% and >10% of live births. Coordinated, interdisciplinary care is important to achieving successful outcomes. This starts with accurate assessment of risk factors in the prenatal period, thorough clinical examination by the primary care provider at all well-child visits, and early referral to a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon for prompt diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is critical for an excellent outcome. Ongoing, open communication between clinicians is essential for the effective coordination of care. Treatment options vary depending on the age of presentation. A Pavlik harness (dynamic hip abduction orthosis) is used for children up to 6 months of age. A more rigid abduction orthosis may be used if treatment with a Pavlik harness is unsuccessful, with a closed reduction and spica cast being the next step if needed for children up to 18 months of age. Finally, open reduction with possible concomitant femoral and/or pelvic osteotomies is the surgical option in an older child, when necessary. In general, the later the child is diagnosed with and treated for DDH, the greater the risk of a nonoptimal outcome. Depending on the severity of the condition, children with DDH may need to be followed closely until skeletal maturity so as not to miss the diagnosis of asymptomatic residual hip dysplasia, which can predispose patients to early hip arthritis.

RESUMO

Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the leading cause of revision surgery. Dual mobility (DM) implants have been utilized over the past 40 years as a means of addressing and preventing this morbid and expensive complication. Recently, there has been renewed investigation into the role that DM implants may play in reducing instability in high-risk patients. Hemiarthroplasty or traditional THA remain the mainstays of treatment for older patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. Longer-term higher-quality studies are necessary to investigate whether DM THA outcomes may be superior to traditional THA in the physiologically young patient with high physical demands and a longer-than-average life expectancy. The use of DM implants in preventing dislocation in patients with fixed spinopelvic alignment, neuromuscular disorders, and failed fixation of previously sustained proximal femoral fractures has shown success in studies with low levels of evidence. More robust prospective data are necessary before more widespread adoption of DM arthroplasty is recommended in these clinical scenarios. Knowledge of the pertinent literature with regard to the use of DM implants in patients who are at high risk for instability will allow orthopaedic surgeons to make informed decisions as to whether or not their patients may benefit from primary THA utilizing DM implants.

RESUMO

Perioperative management of orthopaedic patients with a hematologic disorder is a complex endeavor that requires a multidisciplinary team-based approach. A team composed of an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, an anesthesiologist, and a hematologist is necessary to achieve optimal outcomes. Patients with hemophilia and other complex hematologic disorders should be managed at, or in consultation with a hematologist at, a comprehensive hemophilia center. Bleeding disorders and inherited thrombophilia present unique challenges for the perioperative management of orthopaedic surgery. Comprehensive preoperative planning and familiarity with treatment guidelines can help to minimize these risks. Knowledge of the disease processes outlined in this article will provide orthopaedic surgeons with the requisite background knowledge that is needed to initiate safe and effective treatment strategies involving this high-risk patient population.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The use of cannabinoids has increased since legalization of recreational and medical use in the USA. It is likely that many orthopaedic patients consume cannabinoid products during the traumatic or perioperative period. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pre-clinical data evaluating the mechanism of action of cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and to evaluate the current clinical data on the use of cannabinoids in musculoskeletal illness. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that cannabinoid use and the endocannabinoid system (ECS) has an important role in bone healing and bone homeostasis. There is data that suggests that the use of cannabidiol (CBD) may increase bone healing, whereas the use of Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the major psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, likely inhibits bone metabolism and repair. The clinical implications and consumption of marijuana by orthopaedic patients have not been thoroughly evaluated. Studies have demonstrated concern for negative cardiovascular and psychiatric effects caused by marijuana use, but have not yet elucidated outcomes in the orthopaedic literature. With the recent increase in advertising of CBD products and legalization of marijuana, it is likely that many orthopaedic patients are consuming cannabinoid products. The clinical implications and consumption of these products are unclear. We need more robust and well-designed clinical studies prior to making further recommendations to our patients on the consumption of these products.
