Revision of trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty: risk factors, procedures and outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose - Revision surgery after trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty is sometimes required. Varying revision rates and outcomes have been reported in rather small patient series. Data on risk factors for revision surgery, on the final outcome of revision, and possible factors affecting the outcome of revision are also limited. We evaluated these factors in 50 patients. Patients and methods - From 1,142 trapeziometacarpal arthroplasties performed during a 10-year period, 50 patients with 65 revision surgeries were retrospectively identified and invited to participate in a follow-up study involving subjective, objective, and radiologic evaluation. The revision rate, risk factors for revision, and factors affecting the outcome of revision were analyzed. Results - The revision rate was 5%. Scaphometacarpal impingement was the most common reason for revision surgery. Patient age ? 55 years was a risk factor with a revision rate of 9% in this age group, whereas an operation on both thumbs during the follow-up period was a negative risk factor for revision surgery. There was no difference in revision risk between ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition with or without a bone tunnel. 9 patients had multiple revision procedures and their final outcome did not differ significantly from patients revised only once. Most of the patients felt subjectively that they had benefited from revision surgery and the subjective outcome measures (QuickDash and pain VAS) and the Conolly score were in the same range as previously described for revision trapeziometacarpal arthroplasty. Interpretation - Age ? 55 years is a risk factor for revision surgery. The type of primary surgery does not affect the risk of revision surgery and multiple revision procedures do not result in worse outcomes than cases revised only once. Mechanical pain caused by contact between the metacarpal and scaphoid is the most common indication for revision surgery. In general, patients seem to benefit from revision surgery for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis.

Project description:BackgroundTrapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis can be painful and cause disability for patients. Total joint replacement of the TMC joint provides a pseudo arthrosis with good restoration of the thumb motion and pain relief in most patients. But there is also a risk of no improvement following the operation. The purpose of this study was to identify patients at risk of no clinically important improvement following operative treatment of osteoarthritis of the TMC joint.MethodsWe included 287 consecutive patients (225 women, 62 men) treated with total joint replacement of the TMC joint due to osteoarthritis with a mean age of 58.9 years (range 41-80) in a prospective cohort study. We collected information preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively on disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score (DASH), grip strength and pain at rest and activity on a visual analogue scale (VAS).ResultsWe found a statistically significant improvement in DASH from 42.0 to 15.9 (p < 0.001), VAS at rest from 3.5 to 0.6 (p < 0.001), VAS at activity from 7.9 to 2.5 (p < 0.001) and grip strength from 21.6 kg to 27.6 kg (p < 0.001) 12 months after the operation, when analysed as a group. There was an increased risk of no clinically important improvement in hand function for patients with preoperative high preoperative grip strength. Also, we found an increased risk of no clinically important improvement in female patients when using VAS as outcome.ConclusionHowever, we were unable to detect one isolated preoperative predictor as indicator of successful result after operative treatment of TMC osteoarthritis, and as so it was not possible to establish a clinical valid tool for patient selection before surgery. Informed consent was obtained from all patients for being included in the study. The study needed no approval from The Regional Committee of Biomedical Research Ethics as the data was collected, as part of our normal pre- and postoperative clinical pathway, but the study is part of an outcome study of the results after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) of the TMC joint registered in Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01554748).Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov (NCT01554748). Registered 15 March 2012.

Project description:Background: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) following revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA) can be a devastating complication. This study assessed the frequency of and risk factors for postoperative PNI following rTHA. Methods: Patients who underwent rTHA from 2003 to 2015 were identified using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Demographics, medical history, surgical details, and complications were compared between patients who sustained a PNI and those who did not, to identify risk factors for the development of PNI after rTHA. Results: Overall, 112,310 patients who underwent rTHA were identified, 929 (0.83%) of whom sustained a PNI. Univariate analysis found that younger patients (p < 0.0001), females (p = 0.025), and those with a history of flexion contracture (0.65% vs. 0.22%, p = 0.005), hip dislocation (24.0% vs. 18.0%, p < 0.001), and spine conditions (4.8% vs. 2.7%, p < 0.001) had significantly higher rates of PNI. In-hospital complications associated with PNI included postoperative hematoma (2.6% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.0001), postoperative seroma (0.75% vs. 0.30%, p = 0.011), superficial wound dehiscence (0.65% vs. 0.23%, p = 0.008), and postoperative anemia (36.1% vs. 32.0%, p = 0.007). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a history of pre-existing spine conditions (aOR: 1.7; 95%-CI: 1.3-2.4, p < 0.001), prior dislocation (aOR 1.5; 95%-CI: 1.3-1.7, p < 0.001), postoperative anemia (aOR 1.2; 95%-CI: 1.0-1.4, p = 0.01), and hematoma (aOR 2.1; 95%-CI: 1.4-3.2, p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk for PNI. Conclusions: Our findings align with the existing literature, affirming that sciatic nerve injury is the prevailing neuropathic complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Furthermore, we observed a 0.83% incidence of PNI following rTHA and identified pre-existing spine conditions, prior hip dislocation, postoperative anemia, or hematoma as risk factors. Orthopedic surgeons may use this information to guide their discussion of PNI following rTHA, especially in high-risk patients.

Project description:ObjectiveTo quantify national complication rates, perioperative outcomes, and predictors for a broad range of urologic procedures to demonstrate background rates and discuss benchmarking.MethodsUrologic procedures from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (2006-2011) were analyzed to identify 30-day rates of 21 complications; outcomes (length of stay, reoperation, and death); and predictors including resident involvement for 18 specific procedures. Multivariate logistic regression models assessed predictors for any complication and for Clavien grade IV or V complication.ResultsA total of 39,700 procedures were included with abdominopelvic operations more morbid than endoscopic, scrotal, incontinence, or prolapse procedures. Cystectomy had the highest morbidity (10.8 days length of stay and 3.2% mortality), with 56% experiencing any complication followed by nephrectomy (21%), retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (20%), and radical retropubic prostatectomy (19%). Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (11%) and transurethral resection of the prostate (10%) had the highest rates for endoscopic procedures. Older age, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, dependent functional status, acute kidney injury (odds ratio [OR], 2.70 [1.89-3.87]), and ≥5 units preoperative transfusion (OR, 4.44 [3.40-5.80]) were the strongest predictors of any complication. Higher ORs of similar predictors along with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (OR, 1.52 [1.21-1.92]) and steroid use (OR, 1.51 [1.07-2.14]) were associated with Clavien grade IV or V complication. Resident involvement increased odds of any complication (OR, 1.18 [1.09-1.29]), mostly for abdominopelvic and urogynecologic procedures, but not Clavien grade IV or V complication (P = .55).ConclusionComplication rates of urologic procedures based on the retrospective experience of few surgeons do not allow for appropriate benchmarking. Baseline rates and benchmarks derived from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program may help hospitals better track deficient areas and improvements in quality of care. Many predictors were similar across procedures, although magnitudes differed, and resident trainees did not impact rates of serious complications (Clavien-Dindo grade IV or V).
