Inflammation time-axis in aseptic loosening of total knee arthroplasty: A preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Aseptic loosening (AL) is the most frequent long-term reason for revision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) affecting about 15-20% patients within 20 years after the surgery. Although there is a solid body of evidence about the crucial role of inflammation in the AL pathogenesis, scared information on inflammation signature and its time-axis in tissues around TKA exists.

Design

The inflammation protein signatures in pseudosynovial tissues collected at revision surgery from patients with AL (AL, n = 12) and those with no clinical/radiographic signs of AL (non-AL, n = 9) were investigated by Proximity Extension Assay (PEA)-Immunoassay and immunohistochemistry.

Results

AL tissues had elevated levels of TNF-family members sTNFR2, TNFSF14, sFasL, sBAFF, cytokines/chemokines IL8, CCL2, IL1RA/IL36, sIL6R, and growth factors sAREG, CSF1, comparing to non-AL. High interindividual variability in protein levels was evident particularly in non-AL. Levels of sTNFR2, sBAFF, IL8, sIL6R, and MPO discriminated between AL and non-AL and were associated with the time from index surgery, suggesting the cumulative character of inflammatory osteolytic response to prosthetic byproducts. The source of elevated inflammatory molecules was macrophages and multinucleated osteoclast-like cells in AL and histiocytes and osteoclast-like cells in non-AL tissues, respectively. All proteins were present in higher levels in osteoclast-like cells than in macrophages.

Conclusions

Our study revealed a differential inflammation signature between AL and non-AL stages of TKA. It also highlighted the unique patient's response to TKA in non-AL stages. Further confirmation of our preliminary results on a larger cohort is needed. Analysis of the time-axis of processes ongoing around TKA implantation may help to understand the mechanisms driving periprosthetic bone resorption needed for diagnostic/preventative strategies.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with surgically treated osteoarthritis of the hip have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality many years after the operation compared with controls. Our hypothesis is that this increased risk after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is mediated by development of periprosthetic osteolysis leading to aseptic loosening of the implant.MethodsWe conducted a nation-wide, nested, case-control study consisting of patients receiving a cemented THA due to osteoarthritis between the years 1992 and 2005. Our study population included a total of 14,430 subjects identified in the Swedish hip arthroplasty register and linked to the Swedish National Patient Register. The case group consisted of patients (n = 2,886) who underwent reoperation of the treated hip due to osteolysis or aseptic loosening at any time within five years after the index surgery. Each case was matched with four controls (n = 11,544) who had not undergone reoperation. The main outcomes were cardiovascular events i.e. myocardial infarction, heart failure and cerebral infarction according to ICD-codes and time to the first cardiovascular event during the exposure period. Outcomes were subgrouped into cardiac and cerebral events. We used regression models to calculate the incidence rates and adjusted our results for confounders.FindingsOverall, 5.1% of patients had cardiac events, with slightly more overall cardiovascular events occurring in the control group (8.1% vs. 6.7%, odds ratio 0.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.7 to 1.0). After adjusting for confounders, the case group had an increased relative risk of 1.3 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1 to 1.3) for total number of cardiovascular events. Similar effect sizes were observed for time to first event.InterpretationPatients with osteoarthritis who received THA and subsequently underwent a revision operation due to loosening had a higher relative risk of developing cardiovascular events than controls. Thus there is an association which could be explained by a common inflammatory disease pathway that requires further experimental research.

Project description:BackgroundAseptic loosening of glenoid implants is the primary revision cause in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA). While supported by biomechanical studies, the impact of glenoid bone quality, more specifically bone mineral density (BMD), on aseptic glenoid loosening remains unclear. We hypothesized that lower preoperative glenoid BMD was associated with aseptic glenoid implant loosening in aTSA.MethodsWe retrospectively included 93 patients (69 females and 24 males; mean age, 69.2 years) who underwent preoperative non-arthrographic shoulder computed tomography (CT) scans and aTSA between 2002 and 2014. Preoperative glenoid BMD (CT numbers in Hounsfield unit) was measured in 3D using a reliable semi-automated quantitative method, in the following six contiguous volumes of interest (VOI): cortical, subchondral cortical plate (SC), subchondral trabecular, and three successive adjacent layers of trabecular bone. Univariate Cox regression was used to estimate the impact of preoperative glenoid BMD on aseptic glenoid implant loosening. We further compared 26 aseptic glenoid loosening patients with 56 matched control patients.ResultsGlenoid implant survival rates were 89% (95% confidence interval CI, 81-96%) and 57% (41-74%) at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Hazard ratios for the different glenoid VOIs ranged between 0.998 and 1.004 (95% CI [0.996, 1.007], p≥0.121). Only the SC VOI showed significantly lower CTn in the loosening group (622±104 HU) compared with the control group (658±88 HU) (p=0.048), though with a medium effect size (d=0.42). There were no significant differences in preoperative glenoid BMD in any other VOI between patients from the loosening and control groups.ConclusionsAlthough the preoperative glenoid BMD was statistically significantly lower in the SC region of patients with aseptic glenoid implant loosening compared with controls, this single-VOI difference was only moderate. We are thus unable to prove that lower preoperative glenoid BMD is clearly associated with aseptic glenoid implant loosening in aTSA. However, due to its proven biomechanical role in glenoid implant survival, we recommend extending this study to larger CT datasets to further assess and better understand the impact of preoperative glenoid BMD on glenoid implant loosening/survival and aTSA outcome.
