RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: In the treatment of chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip, two-stage exchange arthroplasty is commonly employed. Various spacer designs, including Hemi-Spacers and Articulating Spacers, are utilized during this process. However, these spacers are associated with a high rate of mechanical complications and pose a risk of progressive bone loss. This study aims to compare these two types of spacers in terms of mechanical complications, center of rotation (COR) restoration, and preservation of acetabular bone stock. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2019 to 2022, patients who underwent two-stage exchange arthroplasty for hip PJI across three hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. Data including demographic, clinical, and microbiological information were collected. Radiographic imaging was analyzed to measure acetabular bone erosion, COR, and periacetabular bone resected. Additionally, the average surgical time in the first and second stages, mechanical complications, and the mean duration of the inter-stage period were recorded. RESULTS: Forty patients were divided into two groups: Group A (Articulating Spacer, n = 23) received a preformed femur spacer with acetabular cement augmentation, while Group B (Hemi-Spacer, n = 17) received a preformed femur spacer alone. Acetabular cement augmentation slightly prolonged the first stage but facilitated a faster second stage during subsequent reimplantation. Spacer dislocation rates were 8.7% in Group A and 17.6% in Group B during the interstage period. Radiographic analysis revealed a statistically significant greater degree of acetabular erosion in Group B. A significant difference in Vertical-COR differential was observed, with a more proximalized revision cup compared to the primary cup in Group B, and Horizontal-COR values closer to the native hip in Group A. CONCLUSIONS: Dynamic spacers with acetabular cement augmentation help preserve peri-acetabular bone stock and prevent progression of acetabular bone erosion during the inter-stage period. Additionally, these spacers reduce the dislocation rates, making reimplantation easier and leading to better restoration of hip biomechanics during the second procedure.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Ilizarov technique combined with rotational center dome-shaped osteotomy in the treatment of juvenile distal femoral valgus deformity. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 11 patients with valgus deformity of the distal femur who had been admitted and followed up completely from January 2016 to October 2020. There were 7 males and 4 females. The 6 patients were on the right side and 5 patients were on the left side. The age ranged from 10 to 14 years old. The center of roration of angulation(CORA) was identified at the distal femur deformity, and dome-shaped osteotomy was performed with the CORA as the midpoint. The annular external fixator was installed according to the needle threading principle of Ilizarov external fixation, and the distal femur was cut off. The valgus deformity under visual inspection of the distal femur was corrected immediately, and the external fixator was fixed and maintained. The residual deformity and shortening were corrected according to the force line and length of the lower limbs suggested by the weight-bearing full-length anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of both lower limbs. RESULTS: All 11 patients were followed up for 13 to 25 months. The time of wearing external fixator was 12 to 17 weeks. In the last follow-up, both lower limbs were measured by the weight-bearing full-length anteroposterior and lateral X-rays, and the length of both lower limbs of 11 patients were equal, and the deformities were corrected. The score of hospital for special surgery (HSS) was used to evaluate the knee function, all of which were excellent. CONCLUSION: The Ilizarov technique was applied in the treatment of distal femoral valgus deformity in adolescents using a rotating central dome-shaped osteotomy. Visual femoral valgus deformity was corrected immediately during the operation. After the operation, residual deformities and shortening were dynamically adjusted and corrected according to the force line and shortening degree of lower extremities indicated by the weight-bearing anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of both lower limbs, with minimal damage and fast recovery.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after acetabular fracture is typically performed months or years later for posttraumatic arthritis after initial conservative treatment. But THA can be performed earlier after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the fracture. The aim of this study was to determine which strategy is best. The primary outcome measure was the radiological restoration of the hip's center of rotation (COR). The secondary outcome measures were the incidence of complications and the hip's functional scores. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicenter cohort was analyzed by splitting patients into three groups: group A (THA within 3weeks of fracture); group B (THA deferred after early ORIF); group C (THA more than 3weeks after fracture, without ORIF). Group B was separated into two subgroups: B- (THA less than 1year after ORIF) and B+ (THA more than 1year after ORIF). The demographics, surgical techniques, COR superior and lateral migration coefficient and functional scores (HHS, HOOS-PS and FJS) were recorded. The functional scores were gathered using PROMs. RESULTS: In all, 367 patients were included: 108 in group A, 69 in group B-, 113 in group B+ and 77 in group C. The mean follow-up was 5.8years [3.4 months-35years]. The mean age of the patients was 69.2years [SD 15; 26-101], 52years [SD 16; 19-83], 49years [SD 16; 16-85] and 58.1years [SD 17; 13-94], respectively (p<0.01). The mean ASA score was 2.13 [SD 0.70], 1.84 [SD 0.65], 1.67 [SD 0.63] and 1.79 [SD 0.60], respectively (p<0.01). A complex Letournel fracture was present in 63 patients (61%), 46 patients (71%), 48 patients (49%) and 38 patients (62%), respectively (p<0.01). A reinforcement cage was implanted in 38 patients (69%), 16 patients (62%), 5 patients (12%) and 19 patients (66%), respectively (p<0.01). Cement was used in 45 patients (45%), 23 patients (35%), 19 patients (18%) and 21 patients (32%), respectively (p<0.01). A graft was needed in 46 patients (46%), 35 patients (53%), 17 patients (16%) and 21 patients (48%), respectively (p<0.01). Posterior ORIF was done in 40 patients (46%), 32 patients (55%), 64 patients (61%) and 9 patients (82%), respectively (p<0.01). The COR lateral migration coefficient was significantly higher in group C with a mean of +0.17 (SD 0.85) [-0.27 to +6] compared to the other groups (p=0.02). The COR superior migration coefficient was comparable between groups, with a mean of +0.77 (SD 2.26) [-0.99 to 27], p>0.05. There were complications in 10 patients (9.2%), 6 patients (8.7%), 6 patients (5.3%) and 3 patients (3.9%), respectively, with no significant difference between groups. The PROMs were completed by 51% of patients. At the final review, the mean HHS was 79.2 (SD 21.8) and the mean HOOS-PS was 77.7 (SD 20.1) in the entire cohort, p>0.05. The mean FJS by group was 55.9 (30.2), 47.7 (SD 36.4), 66.1 (SD 30.4) and 65.8 (SD 30.3), respectively (p=0.02). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The B strategy (B+) yielded good outcomes in terms of function and COR restoration. When using this strategy, anterior ORIF preserves the native hip for a subsequent THA through a posterior approach. Strategy C also produces good functional outcomes but shifts the COR laterally. This study confirms the poor results of strategy A in previous publications. When the prognosis is poor, immediate mobilization after anterior ORIF followed by THA within 1year appears to be a good strategy (group B-). LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, observational study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Preoperative 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT)-based planning for anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has grown in popularity in the past decade with the primary focus on the glenoid. Little research has evaluated if humeral planning has any effect on the surgical execution of the humeral cut or the positioning of the prosthesis. METHODS: Three surgeons performed a prospective study using 3D-printed humeri printed from CTs of existing patients, which were chosen to be -3, -1, 0, 1, and 3 standard deviations of all patients in a large database. A novel 3D printing process was used to 3D print not only the humerus but also all 4 rotator cuff tendons. For each surgical procedure, the printed humerus was mounted inside a silicone shoulder, with printed musculature and skin, and with tensions similar to human tissue requiring standard retraction and instruments to expose the humerus. Three phases of the study were designed. In phase 1, humeral neck cuts were performed on all specimens without any preoperative humeral planning; in phase 2, 3D planning was performed, and the cuts and implant selection were repeated; in phase 3, a neck-shaft angle (NSA) guide and digital calipers were used to measure humeral osteotomy thickness to aid in the desired humeral cut. All humeri were digitized. The difference between the prosthetic center of rotation (COR) and ideal COR was calculated. The percentage of patients with a varus NSA was calculated for each phase. The difference in planned and actual cut thickness was also compared. RESULTS: For both 3D change in COR and medial to lateral change in COR, use of preoperative planning alone and with standard transfer instrumentation resulted in a significantly more anatomic restoration of ideal COR. The deviations from planned cut thickness decreased with each phase: phase 1: 2.6 ± 1.9 mm, phase 2: 2.0 ± 1.3 mm, phase 3: 1.4 ± 0.9 mm (P = .041 for phase 3 vs. phase 1). For NSA, in phase 1, 7 of 15 (47%) cases were in varus; in phase 2, 5 of 15 (33%) were in varus; and in phase 3, 1 of 15 (7%) cases was in varus (P = .013 for phase 3 vs. phase 1). CONCLUSIONS: Use of preoperative 3D humeral planning for stemless anatomic TSA improved prosthetic humeral COR, whether performed with or without standard transfer instrumentation. The use of an NSA cut guide and calipers to measure cut thickness significantly reduced the percentage of varus humeral cuts and deviation from planned cut thickness.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Preoperative planning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) involves utilizing radiographs or advanced imaging modalities, including computerized tomography scans, for precise prediction of implant sizing and positioning. This study aimed to compare 3-dimensional (3D) versus 2-dimensional (2D) preoperative planning in primary THA with respect to key surgical metrics, including restoration of the horizontal and vertical center of rotation (COR), combined offset, and leg length. METHODS: This study included 60 patients undergoing primary THA for symptomatic hip osteoarthritis (OA), randomly allocated to either robotic arm-assisted or conventional THA. Digital 2D templating and 3D planning using the robotic software were performed for all patients. All measurements to evaluate the accuracy of templating methods were conducted on the preoperative computerized tomography scanogram, using the contralateral hip as a reference. Sensitivity analyses explored differences between 2D and 3D planning in patients who had superolateral or medial OA patterns. RESULTS: Compared to 2D templating, 3D templating was associated with less medialization of the horizontal COR (-1.2 versus -0.2 mm, P = .002) and more accurate restoration of the vertical COR (1.63 versus 0.3 mm, P < .001) with respect to the contralateral side. Furthermore, 3D templating was superior for planned restoration of leg length (+0.23 versus -0.74 mm, P = .019). Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that in patients who had medial OA, 3D planning resulted in less medialization of horizontal COR and less offset reduction. Conversely, in patients who had superolateral OA, there was less lateralization of horizontal COR and less offset increase using 3D planning. Additionally, 3D planning showed superior reproducibility for stem, acetabular cup sizes, and neck angle, while 2D planning often led to smaller stem and cup sizes. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicated higher accuracy in the planned restoration of native joint mechanics using 3D planning. Additionally, this study highlights distinct variances between the 2 planning methods across different OA pattern subtypes, offering valuable insights for clinicians employing 2D planning.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is nowadays considered as the most effective treatment option for end-stage hip osteoarthritis (OA) and one of the most successful orthopedic procedures. Precise reproduction of the center of rotation (COR) is among the most important aspects of recreating native hip biomechanics after THA as it is strictly related to muscle tension and force distribution within the hip joint. Both vertical and horizontal shift in cup positioning and COR restoration are commonly observed radiological signs corresponding with lesser functional outcome. The aim of this study was to assess whether the superior border of the native acetabulum morphology has an impact on cup positioning and COR restoration in patients undergoing THA as treatment of primary OA of the hip. Material and methods: A cohort of 150 consecutive patients with diagnosis of end-stage primary hip OA who underwent THA via an anterolateral approach with the same implant in 2021 was analyzed retrospectively. Standard standing pelvic X-rays were performed pre- and postoperatively and appropriate measurements were taken. Several radiological parameters on obtained X-rays were assessed. Statistical analysis of all the measurements was performed. Results: There was a statistically significant positive weak correlation between cup offset and acetabular roof angle (rs = 0.25, p = 0.002). There were statistically insignificant positive correlations between acetabular roof angle and COR restoration (rs = 0.14, p = 0.097), acetabular roof angle and total offset (rs = 0.087, p = 0.29) and a negative correlation between acetabular roof angle and femoral offset (rs = 0.071, p = 0.39). Conclusions: The present study revealed that preoperative acetabular roof angle influences the positioning of the prosthetic cup in the transverse axis. There also seems to be a correlation between the acetabular roof angle and COR restoration, but its significance needs further evaluation. Surgeons could use this knowledge to preoperatively assess the risk of cup malposition and adjust their technique during the THA procedure with probable improvement of hip function.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of humeral position of the Affinis Short implant in stemless anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (STSAs) on clinical and radiologic results and mid- to long-term survival in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder. METHODS: Eighty patients treated with a stemless shoulder arthroplasty for OA of the shoulder were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 92 ± 14 months (range 69-116 months) by the Constant Score (CS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH), and active range of motion (ROM). Radiographic assessment for bone adaptations and humeral implant position was performed by plain radiographs. Comparison of the pre- and postoperative centers of rotation (CORs) was used to assess the restoration of the geometry of the humeral head. The appraisal of proper humeral component positioning was correlated with the functional outcomes. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to investigate the influence of humeral implant position compared to survival time. Complications were noted. RESULTS: The ROM (P < .001), CS (P < .001), and DASH scores (P < .001) showed significant improvements after surgery for the entire series. The COR restoration was anatomic in 75% (n = 60) of all implants and in 25% (n = 20) nonanatomic implants (pre- and postoperative COR deviation of 2.7 ± 1.8 mm vs. 5.1 ± 3.2 mm, P = .0380). The humeral component position did not affect the functional outcome whereas the 10-year unadjusted cumulative survival rate for the anatomic group was significantly higher in comparison with the nonanatomic group (96.7% vs. 75%, P = .002). The radiologic evaluation revealed minor periprosthetic bone adaptions in various forms without clinical significance or further intervention. No revision was necessary because of a failed fixation of the stemless humeral component. CONCLUSIONS: Regarding the treatment of primary OA of the shoulder, STSA shows excellent long-term survival and clinical outcomes. In particular, STSA implants are able to restore the geometry of the humeral head. Nonanatomic reconstruction may influence the survival over the long term in different pathways. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the effect of humeral component position in STSA on function, pain, and implant survival rates.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Optimal glenosphere positioning in a lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) to maximize functional outcomes has yet to be clearly defined. Center of rotation (COR) measurements have largely relied on anteroposterior radiographs, which allow assessment of lateralization and inferior position, but ignore scapular Y radiographs, which may provide an assessment of the posterior and inferior position relative to the acromion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the COR in the sagittal plane and assess the effect of glenosphere positioning with functional outcomes using a 135° inlay stem with a lateralized glenoid. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed on a prospectively maintained multicenter database on patients who underwent primary RSA from 2015 to 2021 with a 135° inlay stem. The COR was measured on minimum 2-year postoperative sagittal plain radiographs using a best-fit circle fit method. A best-fit circle was made on the glenosphere and the center was marked. From there, 4 measurements were made: (1) center to the inner cortex of the coracoid, (2) center to the inner cortex of the anterior acromion, (3) center to the inner cortex of the middle acromion, and (4) center to the inner cortex of the posterior acromion. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate any association between the position of the COR relative to bony landmarks with functional outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 136 RSAs met the study criteria. There was no relation with any of the distances with outcome scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form, visual analog scale). In regard to range of motion (ROM), each distance had an effect on at least 1 parameter. The COR to coracoid distance had the broadest association with ROM, with improvements in forward flexion (FF), external rotation (ER0), and internal rotation with the arm at 90° (IR90) (P < .001, P = .031, and P < .001, respectively). The COR to coracoid distance was also the only distance to affect the final FF and IR90. For every 1-mm increase in this distance, there was a 1.8° increase in FF and 1.5° increase in IR90 (ß = 1.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-2.72, P < .001, and ß = 1.53, 95% CI 0.65-2.41, P < .001; respectively). CONCLUSION: Evaluation of the COR following RSA in the sagittal plane suggests that a posteroinferior glenosphere position may improve ROM when using a 135° inlay humeral component and a lateralized glenoid.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The methods proposed in literature to estimate the position of hand joints Centers of Rotation (CoRs) typically require computationally non-trivial optimization routines and exploit a high number of markers to calculate CoRs positions from surface marker trajectories. Moreover, most of the existing works evaluated the accuracy only in simulation. This work proposes a new procedure, based on the Pratt circle fit, to estimate joints CoRs position in 2D through marker-based acquisitions. METHODS: The advantage of the Pratt circle fit lies in its simplicity and computational speed, and in the possibility of exploiting a reduced markerset for calculating CoRs. By applying simplifying assumptions regarding the movement of the fingers (i.e., planar and decoupled flexion-extension movements of each joint occurring in the same flexion plane for all the joints of the finger), it is possible to determine the position of the CoR of each joint in 2D. For this reason, the estimation of the Carpo-MetaCarpal joint of the thumb was not included in this work, as it exhibits a more complex movement associated to the combination of a flexion-extension and adduction-abduction degree of freedom. The errors in estimating CoRs were evaluated by conducting experimental acquisitions on an anthropomorphic robotic hand and comparing the position of the estimated CoR with the real position of the CoR. The repeatability of the method and its capability to estimate anatomically plausible CoRs were evaluated through experimental acquisitions conducted on five healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Errors in estimating finger joints CoRs were in the order of 0.70 mm and 0.18 mm respectively along the finger longitudinal direction (i.e., x coordinate) and thickness (i.e., y coordinate). Standard Deviations of CoRs positions were comparable to the ones obtained in literature (i.e., below 2 mm and 1 mm respectively for the x and y coordinates), thus demonstrating the repeatability of the method. The Anatomical Plausibility Rate of the proposed approach was between 80% and 100%. CONCLUSIONS: The performance of the Pratt-based CoRs estimation procedure proposed in this work was comparable to other existing methods, with the advantage of exploiting a simple fitting algorithm and a reduced markerset with respect to the state-of-the-art techniques.

RESUMEN

Brace migration undermines therapeutic efficacy, which is traditionally evaluated through walking experiments. This study developed an interaction model that considered the instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) misalignment to predict migration. The model was validated by walking experiment. Results show a strong positive correlation for four-linkage (FL) (r = 0.952, p < 0.01, root mean squared error (RMSE) = 0.53 mm) and spur gear (SG) (r = 0.898, p < 0.01, RMSE = 1.35 mm) mechanisms. The FL exhibits lower migration than SG (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the interaction model accurately predicts migration, emphasizing the influence of mechanism on migration.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study examined cervical center of rotation (COR) positions in 7 postures using validated cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) combined with 3D-3D registration in healthy volunteers. METHODS: CBCT scans were performed on 20 healthy volunteers in 7 functional positions, constructing a three-dimensional (3D) model. Images were registered to the neutral position using 3D-3D registration, allowing analysis of kinematic differences and rotational axes. COR measurements were obtained for each segment (C2/3 to C6/7) in each posture. RESULTS: The CORs of C2/3 to C6/7 were predominantly posterior (-5.3 ± 3.8 ∼ -0.6 ± 1.2 mm) and superior (16.5 ± 6.0 ∼ 23.6 ± 3.2 mm) to the intervertebral disc's geometric center (GC) in flexion and extension. However, the C4/5 segment's COR was anterior to the GC (2.0 ± 9.8 mm) during flexion and close to it in the right-left direction. During left-right twisting, the CORs of C2/3-C6/7 were posterior (-21.8 ± 10.5 ∼-0.9 ± 0.8 mm) and superior (3.1 ± 7.5 ∼23.2 ± 3.6 mm) to the GCs in anterior-posterior and superior-inferior directions, without consistent right-left directionality. During left-right bending, each segment's COR was predominantly posterior (-25.2 ± 13.1 ∼-6.5 ± 9.9 mm) and superior (0.3 ± 12.5 ∼12.1 ± 5.1 mm) to the GC in anterior-posterior and superior-inferior directions, except for the C2/3 segment, located inferiorly (-5.9 ± 4.1 mm) in left bending. The right-left COR position varied across segments. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal segment-specific and posture-dependent COR variations. Notably, the CORs of C3/4, C4/5, and C5/6 consistently align near the intervertebral disc's GC at different postures, supporting their suitability for total disc replacement surgery within the C3/4 to C5/6 segments.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the accuracy of the Invisalign appliance in achieving predicted angular tooth movement of the maxillary central incisors, to locate the center of rotation in a labio-palatal direction, and to investigate any difference between 1-weekly and 2-weekly wear protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study involved a retrospective sample of two groups of 46 Class I adult subjects treated non-extraction with different protocols of 1-weekly and 2-weekly wear. The pretreatment, predicted outcome and achieved outcome digital models were superimposed and measured using metrology software. Angular and center-of-rotation measurements in the sagittal plane for the maxillary right central incisor were analyzed. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between predicted and achieved angular measurements (P < .005) for labial tooth movements regardless of wear protocol. For palatal movements, no statistically significant difference was observed (P > .05). A small amount of overexpression was observed in some cases. Regarding crown and root control, uncontrolled tipping was the most predictable. No statistically significant difference was found between predicted and achieved center of rotation, but the confidence interval was wide. No statistically significant difference (P > .05) was found between the two wear protocols for the parameters measured. CONCLUSIONS: For maxillary central incisors, labial angular movements were not as accurate as palatal movements. Overcorrection could be recommended with careful clinical monitoring due to the possibility of overexpression. Control of root movements may be unpredictable, and further research is required to draw stronger conclusions. For the parameters measured in this clinical sample, there was no difference between the two wear protocols.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants have continued to evolve to accommodate new understandings of knee mechanics. The medial-pivot implant is a newer design, which is intended to limit anterior-posterior translation in the medial compartment while allowing lateral compartment translation. However, evidence for a generalized medial-pivot characteristic across all activities is limited. The purpose of the study was to quantify and compare in vivo knee joint kinematics using high-speed stereo radiography during activities of daily living in patients who have undergone a TKA with a cruciate sacrificing medial-pivot implant to age-matched and sex-matched native controls. METHODS: Fifteen participants (7 patients, 4 women, mean age 70 years and 8 nonsymptomatic controls, 4 women, mean age 64 years) performed 6 functional tasks in high-speed stereo radiography: deep-knee lunge, chair rise, step down, gait, gait with 90° turn, and seated knee extension. Translational differences between groups (surgical versus control) were assessed for the medial and lateral condyle, while pivot location was normalized to subject-specific tibial plateau geometry. RESULTS: The surgical cohort displayed a more constrained medial condyle that provided greater stability of the medial compartment and did not result in the paradoxical anterior translation at mid-flexion angles during weight-bearing activities, but was associated with less condylar translation than native knees. Additionally, the transverse tibial pivot location occurs most commonly in the middle third of the tibial plateau and secondarily on the medial third. CONCLUSIONS: Some variability in pivot location occurs between activities and is more in nonsymptomatic, native knee controls.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is a clinical evaluation of the center of rotation (COR) placement towards a patient's recovery with respect to daily living ability and mobility. In past experiments based on three-dimensional (3D) models, medialization of the COR in total hip arthroplasty (THA) showed a negative influence on muscle strength of the abductors and reaction force of the hip joint. This contradicts paradigms, where reduced hip loading forces are claimed to increase functional outcomes. METHODS: The plain X-rays of 110 patients who underwent THA after a femoral neck fracture between January 2019 and January 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. A Barthel Index on discharge was obtained in 69 cases. 47 patients were available for a follow-up interview concerning the Barthel Index, Parker mobility score (PMS), and pain levels (NRS) 6 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Medialization of the COR had a significantly negative effect on the need for care (Barthel Index) at patient discharge (Spearman correlation 0.357, p = 0.013). The effect on the PMS is still existent at 6 and 12 months (Spearman correlation 0.471, p = 0.009 at 6 months; 0.472, p = 0.008 at 12 months). Mann-Whitney U tests showed that the groups with medialized COR performed significantly worse than the lateralized groups. This was seen for the Barthel Index at discharge and at 6 months after surgery and for the PMS at 6 and 12 months. The accurately reconstructed CORs showed no significant differences from the lateralized rotation centers in need of care and mobility. The superior COR placement group showed significantly reduced mobility at 12 months in contrast to the inferior COR placement group (p = 0.008), and the group of accurately reconstructed rotation centers showed significantly less pain than the inferior COR placement group (p = 0.007 after 6 months, p = 0.026 after 12 months). Especially the combination of both (superomedialization) leads to reduced mobility (Spearman correlation 0.67, p = < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: COR superior displacement, COR medialization, and the combination of both (superomedialization, Spearman p = < 0.001) lead to reduced mobility while inferior displacement showed increased pain. According to our results, we recommend an exact vertical COR restoration, while horizontal medial displacement needs to be avoided. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.

RESUMEN

The goal of this study was to determine how foot type and activity level affect ankle and hindfoot motion. Dynamic biplane radiography and a validated volumetric registration process was used to measure ankle and hindfoot motion of 20 healthy adults during walking and running. The helical axes of motion (HAM) during stance were calculated at the tibiotalar and subtalar joints. The intersection of each HAM and the rotation plane of interest defined the tibiotalar and subtalar centers of rotation (COR). Correlations between foot type and hindfoot kinematics were calculated using Pearson's correlations. The effect of activity, phase of gait, and dominant vs. non-dominant limb on HAM and COR were evaluated using linear mixed effects models. Activity and phase of gait influenced the superior location of the tibiotalar (p < 0.041) and subtalar (p < 0.044) CORs. Activity and gait phase affected tibiotalar (p < 0.049) and subtalar (p < 0.044) HAM direction during gait. Both HAM orientation and COR location changed with activity and phase of gait. These ankle and hindfoot kinematics have implications for total ankle replacement design and musculoskeletal models that estimate force and moment generating capabilities of muscles.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In revision hip arthroplasty (RHA), establishing the center of rotation (COR) can be technically challenging due to the acetabular bone destruction that is usually present, particularly in severe cases such as Paprosky type II and III defects. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the use of open-source medical image reconstruction software and low-cost 3D anatomical models in pre-surgical planning of RHA. METHODS: A total of 10 patients, underwent RHA and were included in the study. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed for all cases, before surgery and approximately 1 week after the procedure. The reconstruction of CT data, 3D virtual planning of the COR and positioning of acetabular cups, including their inclination and anteversion angles, was carried out using the free open source software platform 3D Slicer. In addition, anatomical models of the pelvis were built on a desktop 3D printer from polylactic acid (PLA). Preoperative and postoperative reconstructed imaging data were compared for each patient, and the position of the acetabular cups as well as the COR were evaluated for each case. RESULTS: Analysis of the pre- and post-op center of rotation position data indicated statistically insignificant differences for the location of the COR on the X-axis (1.5 mm, t = 0.5741, p = 0.5868) with a fairly strong correlation of the results (r = -0.672, p = 0.0982), whilst for the location of the COR in the Y and Z-axes, there was statistical dependence (Y axis, 4.7 mm, t = 3.168 and p = 0.0194; Z axis, 1.9 mm, t = 1.887 and p = 0.1081). A strong correlation for both axes was also observed (Y and Z) (Y-axis, r = 0.9438 and p = 0.0014; Z-axis, r = 0.8829 and p = 0.0084). Analysis of inclination angle values showed a statistically insignificant difference between mean values (3.9 degrees, t = 1.111, p = 0.3092) and a moderate correlation was found between mean values (r = -0.4042, p = 0.3685). Analysis of the anteversion angle showed a statistically insignificant difference between mean values (1.9 degrees, t = 0.8671, p = 0.4192), while a moderate correlation between mean values was found (r = -0.4782, p = 0.2777). CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional reconstruction software, together with low-cost anatomical models, are very effective tools for pre-surgical planning, which have great potential use in orthopedic surgery, particularly RHA. In up and in- and up and out-type defects, it is essential to establish a new COR and to identify three support points within the revision acetabulum in order to correctly position acetabular cups.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) increases the moment arm of the deltoid; however, there is limited knowledge on the accompanying changes in muscle architecture that play a role in muscle force production. The purpose of this study was to use a geometric shoulder model to evaluate the anterior deltoid, middle deltoid, and supraspinatus regarding (1) the differences in moment arms and muscle-tendon lengths in small, medium, and large native shoulders and (2) the impact of 3 RSA designs on moment arms, muscle fiber lengths, and force-length (F-L) curves. METHODS: A geometric model of the native glenohumeral joint was developed, validated, and adjusted to represent small, medium, and large shoulders. Moment arms, muscle-tendon lengths, and normalized muscle fiber lengths were assessed for the supraspinatus, anterior deltoid, and middle deltoid from 0° to 90° of abduction. RSA designs were modeled and virtually implanted, including a lateralized glenosphere with an inlay 135° humeral component (lateral glenoid-medial humerus [LGMH]), a medialized glenosphere with an onlay 145° humeral component (medial glenoid-lateral humerus [MGLH]), and a medialized glenosphere with an inlay 155° humeral component (medial glenoid-medial humerus [MGMH]). Descriptive statistics were used to compare moment arms and normalized muscle fiber lengths. RESULTS: As shoulder size increased, the moment arms and muscle-tendon lengths for the anterior deltoid, middle deltoid, and supraspinatus increased. All RSA designs achieved greater moment arms for the anterior and middle deltoid, with the MGLH design achieving the largest increase. The resting normalized muscle fiber length of the anterior and middle deltoid was substantially increased in the MGLH (1.29) and MGMH (1.24) designs, shifting the operating ranges of these muscles to the descending portions of their F-L curves, whereas the LGMH design maintained a resting deltoid fiber length (1.14) and operating range similar to the native shoulder. All RSA designs demonstrated a decrease in the native supraspinatus moment arm in early abduction, with the largest decrease in the MGLH design (-59%) and minimal decrease in the LGMH design (-14%). The supraspinatus operated on the ascending limb of its F-L curve in the native shoulder and remained on this portion of the F-L curve for all RSA designs. CONCLUSION: Although the MGLH design maximizes the abduction moment arm for the anterior and middle deltoid, overlengthening of the muscle may compromise deltoid muscle force production by forcing the muscle to operate on the descending portion of its F-L curve. In contrast, the LGMH design increases the abduction moment arm for the anterior and middle deltoid more modestly while allowing the muscle to operate near the plateau of its F-L curve and maximizing its force-producing potential.

RESUMEN

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture is a common cause of femorotibial joint instability in the dog. Numerous techniques including several tibial osteotomies have been described for stabilization, but there is no current consensus on the best method. The instantaneous center of rotation (ICR) can aid investigations of pathological joint movement, but its use is problematic in the femorotibial joint due to combined rotation and translation during flexion and extension. Using fluoroscopic images from an earlier cadaveric study of canine joint stability, an interpolation method was used to create repeatable rotational steps across joint situations, followed by least squares approximation of the ICR. The ICR in intact joints was located mid-condyle but displaced significantly (P < 0.001) proximally following cranial cruciate ligament transection and medial meniscal release. Individual joints appear to respond differently to destabilization. Triple tibial osteotomy partially restored ICR location during early movement from flexion to extension. Joint instability significantly altered the proportions of rolling and gliding movement at the joint surface (P < 0.02), which triple tibial osteotomy partially improved. While triple tibial osteotomy restores joint stability ex vivo and clinically, normal biomechanics of the joint are not restored. The methods described here may prove useful for comparison of osteotomy techniques for stabilization of the cranial cruciate ligament deficient femorotibial joint in dogs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a common complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the relationship between femoral prosthesis filling, proximal femoral morphology, and acetabular prosthesis positioning with postoperative LLD and clinical outcomes is unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the influence of canal flare index (CFI), canal fill ratio (CFR), center of rotation (COR), and femoral offset (FO) on (1) postoperative LLD; and (2) clinical outcomes in the two stem designs with different coating distribution. METHODS: The study cohort included 161 patients who underwent primary cementless THA between January 2021 and March 2022 with either proximal coating or full coating stems. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effect of CFI, CFR, COR, and FO on postoperative LLD, and linear regression to assess their effect on clinical outcomes. RESULTS: No statistical difference was found in clinical outcomes or postoperative LLD between the two groups. High CFI (p = 0.014), low ΔVCOR (p = 0.012), and Gender (p = 0.028) were found independent risk factors for LLD one day postoperative. High CFI was also an independent risk factor for postoperative subjectively perceived LLD (p = 0.013). CFR at the level of 2 cm below the LT (p = 0.017) was an independent risk factor for Harris Hip Score. CONCLUSIONS: Proximal femoral morphology and acetabular prosthesis positioning but not femoral prosthesis filling affected the LLD. High CFI was an independent risk factor for postoperative LLD and subjectively perceived LLD, and low ΔVCOR was also an independent risk factor for postoperative LLD. Women were susceptible to postoperative LLD.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Iliopsoas impingement (IPI) is an important complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and anterior cup protrusion is believed to be its main cause; however, the relationship between the hip center of rotation (COR) and symptomatic IPI or cup protrusion remains poorly understood. Therefore, the present study investigated these relationships. METHODS: The medical records of 138 patients who underwent unilateral primary THA were retrospectively reviewed. There were 8 patients (5.8%) who had symptomatic IPI. The COR and cup protrusion length measured with 2 methods were assessed on computed tomography. Risk factors for symptomatic IPI and the relationship between the COR and protrusion length were evaluated. RESULTS: Logistic regression analyses showed that anteroposterior position of the COR, sagittal cup protrusion length (SCPL) at the COR, and both axial and SCPLs at the most anterior margin of the cup were related to symptomatic IPI. Multivariable regression analyses showed that acetabular offset was related to axial protrusion length at the COR, and anteroposterior position of the COR was related to both axial and sagittal protrusion lengths at the most anterior margin of the cup. CONCLUSION: Anterior position of the cup was related to symptomatic IPI and both axial and sagittal protrusion lengths at the most anterior margin of the cup. Anterior reaming and cup protrusion should be avoided as much as possible to prevent symptomatic IPI.
