Project description:BackgroundTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) instability is influenced by acetabular component positioning, spinopelvic function and sagittal spinal alignment. Obesity is considered as a risk factor of THA instability, but the causal relationship remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the influence of BMI on (1) spinopelvic function (lumbar flexibility, pelvic mobility and hip motion), (2) sagittal spinal alignment pre- and postoperatively and (3) acetabular cup position postoperatively in primary THA patients in a prospective setting.MethodsOne hundred ninety patients receiving primary total hip arthroplasty were enrolled in a prospective cohort study and retrospectively analysed. All patients received stereoradiography (EOS) in standing and relaxed sitting position pre-and postoperatively. C7-sagittal vertical axis (C7-SVA), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), anterior plane pelvic tilt (APPT), and pelvic femoral angle (PFA) were assessed. Key parameters of the spinopelvic function were defined as lumbar flexibility (∆ LL = LLstanding - LLsitting), pelvic mobility (∆ PT = PTstanding - PTsitting) and hip motion (∆ PFA = PFAstanding - PFAsitting). Pelvic mobility was further defined based on ∆ PT as stiff, normal and hypermobile (∆ PT < 10°; 10°-30°; > 30°). The patients were stratified to BMI according to WHO definition: normal BMI ≥ 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 (n = 68), overweight ≥ 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 (n = 81) and obese ≥ 30-39.9 kg/m2 (n = 41). Post-hoc analysis according to Hochberg's GT2 was applied to determine differences between BMI groups.ResultsStanding cup inclination was significant higher in the obese group compared to the normal BMI group (45.3° vs. 40.1°; p = 0.015) whereas standing cup anteversion was significantly decreased (22.0° vs. 25.3°; p = 0.011). There were no significant differences for spinopelvic function key parameter lumbar flexibility (∆ LL), pelvic mobility (∆ PT) and hip motion (∆ PFA) in relation to BMI stratified groups. The obese group demonstrated significant enhanced pelvic retroversion compared to the normal BMI group (APPT - 1.8° vs. 2.4°; p = 0.028). The preoperative proportion of stiff pelvic mobility was decreased in the obese group (12.2%) compared to normal (25.0%) and overweight (27.2%) groups. Spinal sagittal alignment in C7-SVA and PI-LL mismatch demonstrated significantly greater imbalance in the obese group compared to the normal BMI group (68.6 mm vs. 42.6 mm, p = 0.002 and 7.7° vs. 1.2°, p = 0.032, respectively) The proportion of patients with imbalanced C7-SVA was higher in the obese (58.5%) than in the normal BMI group (44.1%).ConclusionsThe significantly increased spinal sagittal imbalance with altered pelvic mechanics is a potential cause for the reported increased risk of THA dislocations in obese patients. Consequently, the increased spinal sagittal imbalance in combination with normal pelvic mobility need to be taken into account when performing THA in obese patients.

Project description:Improper acetabular cup positioning is associated with high risk of complications after total hip arthroplasty. The aim of our study is to objectively compare 3 methods, namely (1) free hand, (2) alignment jig (Sputnik), and (3) iPhone application to identify an easy, reproducible, and accurate method in improving acetabular cup placement. We designed a simple setup and carried out a simple experiment (see Method section). Using statistical analysis, the difference in inclination angles using iPhone application compared with the freehand method was found to be statistically significant (F[2,51] = 4.17, P = .02) in the "untrained group". There is no statistical significance detected for the other groups. This suggests a potential role for iPhone applications in junior surgeons in overcoming the steep learning curve.

Project description:Increasing knowledge on human balance recovery strategies is important for the development of balance assistance strategies using assistive devices like a powered lower-limb exoskeleton. One of the postures which is relevant for this scenario, but underexposed in research, is staggered stance, a posture with one foot in front. We therefore aimed to gain a better understanding of balance recovery in staggered stance. We studied balance responses at joint- and muscle levels to pelvis perturbations in various directions while standing in this posture. Ten healthy individuals participated in this study. We used one actuator beside and one behind the participant to apply 150 ms perturbations in mediolateral (ML), anteroposterior (AP) and diagonal directions, with a magnitude of 3, 6, 9 and 12% of the participant's body weight (BW). Meanwhile, motion capture, ground reaction forces and moments, and electromyography of the muscles around the ankles and hips were recorded. The perturbations caused movements of the centre of mass (CoM) and centre of pressure (CoP) in the direction of the perturbation. These were often accompanied by motions in a direction different from the perturbation direction. After perturbations perpendicular to the line between both feet, large and significant AP deviations were present of the CoM (-0.27 till 0.40 cm/%BW, p < 0.029) and CoP (-0.99 till 0.80 cm/%BW, p < 0.001). Also, stronger responses on joint and muscle level were present after these perturbations, compared to AP and diagonal perturbations collinear with the line between both feet. The hip, knee and ankle joints contributed differently to the balance responses after the different perturbation directions. To conclude, standing in a staggered stance posture makes individuals more vulnerable to perturbations perpendicular to the line between both feet, requiring larger responses on joint level as well as contributions in the sagittal plane.

Project description:Three-dimensional planning of hip arthroplasty is associated with better visualisation of anatomical landmarks and enhanced mapping for preoperative implant sizing, which can lead to a decrease in surgical time and complications. Despite the advantages of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), it is considered a technically challenging procedure and associated with inaccurate implant placement. This study aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and usability of preoperative 3D Hip Planner software for HRA. Fifty random cases of various hip osteoarthritis severity were planned twice by two junior trainees using the 3D Hip Planner within a one-month interval. Outcome measures included femoral/cup implant size, stem-shaft angle, and cup inclination angle, and were assessed by comparing outcomes from 2D and 3D planning. An adapted unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) survey was used for software usability. Bland–Altman plots between 3D and 2D planning for stem-shaft and inclination angles showed mean differences of 0.7 and −0.6, respectively (r = 0.93, p < 0.001). Stem-shaft and inclination angles showed inter-rater reliability biases of around −2° and 3°, respectively. Chi-square and Pearson’s correlation for femoral implant size showed a significant association between the two assessors (r = 0.91, p < 0.001). The 3D test–retest coefficient of repeatability for stem-shaft and inclination angles were around ±2° and ±3°, respectively, with a strong significant association for femoral implant size (r = 0.98, p < 0.001). Survey analyses showed that 70–90% agreed that 3D planning improved expectancy in four domains. 3D hip planner appears to be valid and reliable in preoperative HRA and shows significant potential in optimising the quality and accuracy of surgical planning.

Project description:ObjectivesA key predictor for developing chronic residual pain after total knee or hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA) is sensitisation. Sensitisation can be defined as an 'increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the nervous system'. Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of preoperative treatment with duloxetine in sensitised knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients on postoperative chronic residual pain up to 1 year after arthroplasty.SettingA multicentre, pragmatic, prospective, randomised clinical trial was conducted in three secondary care hospitals in the Netherlands.ParticipantsPatients with primary knee/hip OA who were planned for TKA/THA were screened using the modified painDETECT Questionnaire. Patients whose painDETECT score indicated that sensitisation may be present were eligible for participation. 111 participants were included and randomly assigned 1:1 to an intervention or control group. The intervention group received additional duloxetine treatment, the control group did not receive any additional treatment but was allowed to continue with any pain medication they were already taking.InterventionsPreoperative oral treatment for 7 weeks with 60 mg/day of duloxetine was compared with usual care.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome measure was pain at 6 months after arthroplasty, assessed with the Pain Subscale of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) or the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) with a 0-100 scale. Secondary outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and neuropathic-like pain measured using the modified PainDETECT Questionnaire. Longitudinal data collection included time points directly after duloxetine treatment, 1-day preoperatively, and 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively.ResultsMean improvement in the KOOS/HOOS pain subscale at 6 months postoperatively was 37 (SD 28.1) in the intervention group and 43 (SD 26.5) in the control group. No statistically significant difference was found in change score 6 months postoperatively between the two groups (p=0.280). 12 patients from the intervention group (21%) discontinued duloxetine due to adverse effects.ConclusionsPreoperative targeted treatment with duloxetine in end-stage knee and hip OA patients with sensitisation does not influence postoperative chronic residual pain after TKA/THA.Trial registration numberNTR4744.

Project description:Vascular complications in revision total hip arthroplasty may occur in cases where the components of the hip implant migrate through the acetabular wall, through the iliopectineal line of the pelvis, and into the pelvic cavity. This migration may lead to substantial intrapelvic vascular compromise, drastically increasing the surgical complexity and potential risk for morbidity and mortality in these surgical cases. Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old woman with significant acetabular protrusio, which resulted in intraoperative compromise of the external iliac artery with rapid extravasation. As a result of prudent preoperative planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and precautionary measures, significant patient morbidity and mortality was averted.Level of evidenceLevel V, Case Report.

Project description:BackgroundTotal hip arthroplasties (THA) are cost-effective interventions for patients with osteoarthritis refractory to physical therapy or medical management. Most individuals report positive surgical outcomes with reduction in pain and improved joint function. Multiple recent studies demonstrated the influence of patient mental health on surgical success. We sought to determine the relationship between patient preoperative psychological factors and postoperative THA outcomes, specifically pain and function.MethodsPubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Reviews databases were queried using terms "(mental OR psychological OR psychiatric) AND (function OR trait OR state OR predictor OR health) AND (outcome OR success OR recovery OR response) AND total joint arthroplasty)." A total of 21 of 1,286 studies fulfilled inclusion criteria and were included in the review. All studies were analyzed using GRADE and Risk of Bias criteria.ResultsOverall, compared to cohorts with a normal psychological status, patients with higher objective measures of preoperative depression and anxiety reported increased postoperative pain, decreased functionality and greater complications following THA. Additionally, participants with lower self-efficacy or somatization were found to have worse functional outcomes.ConclusionsPreoperative depression, anxiety and somatization may negatively impact patient reported postoperative pain, functionality and complications following THA. Surgeons should consider preoperative psychological status when counseling patients regarding expected surgical outcomes.Level of evidence: 3

Project description:This meta-analysis evaluated preoperative aspiration culture for diagnosing prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.72 (95% confidence interval, 0.65 to 0.78) and 0.95 (0.93 to 0.97), respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed nonsignificant worse diagnostic performance for THA than for TKA (sensitivity, 0.70 versus 0.78; specificity, 0.94 versus 0.96). Preoperative aspiration culture has moderate to high sensitivity and very high specificity for diagnosing PJI.

Project description:BackgroundLeg length inequalities (LLIs) are a common finding in patients with a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, we compared the effects of simulated LLIs in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a matched control group.Research questionDo LLIs lead to different effects on the musculoskeletal apparatus of patients with a THA then in a control group?MethodsIn 99 patients with a THA the effects of simulated LLIs were compared to a matched control group of 101 subjects without a hip arthroplasty. First, we compared methods for LLI quantification (tape measurements, pelvic x- ray and rasterstereography). Second, the effects of simulated LLIs on the spine and pelvis were evaluated in both groups using surface topography. LLIs of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 mm were simulated on both sides with a simulation platform. The changes of pelvic position (pelvic obliquity & pelvic torsion) and the effects on spinal posture (surface rotation & lateral deviation) were measured and analysed using a surface topography system.ResultsMean LLI measured with a tape was 0.9 mm (SD +/- 14.8). Mean pelvic obliquity measured on x-rays was 1.2 mm (SD +/- 11.6) and with surface topography 0.9 mm (SD +/- 7.9). Simulated LLIs resulted in significant changes of pelvic position and spinal posture in the patient and control group. Interestingly, our study showed that simulated LLIs lead to greater changes in pelvic position (p<0.05) in patients with a THA.SignificanceThis is the first study to demonstrate that LLIs might have a greater impact on the pelvic position of THA patients than in native hips, which could indicate that LLIs do need to be compensated differently in patients with THA than in patients without a THA.
