Two-staged Bilateral, Femoral Alignment Osteotomy with Concomitant Total Knee Arthroplasty in an Achondroplasia Patient - A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in humans and is orthopedically characterized by shortened extremities and an exaggerated lumbar lordosis. The surgical challenges are maintenance of axial alignment during limb lengthening as well as joint preservation and alignment restoration.We present a 46-year-old female suffering from achondroplasia with severe pain in both knees. Severe varus deformities of both femurs and degeneration of both knee joints became apparent on clinical and radiological examination. On each femur, we performed one-staged, lateral closed-wedge osteotomy, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Subsequently, the patient was relieved of knee joint pain and gained a greater range of motion.One-staged valgization osteotomy and concomitant TKA represents a challenging, yet reasonable, surgical solution in axially severe malaligned and joint degenerated patients.

Staged Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty for Neglected Blount Disease Using a Gap Balancing Technique.

Project description:Blount disease is an acquired, asymmetrical disorder of proximal tibial growth that results in a complex three-dimensional proximal tibial deformity, with tibial varus being the dominating feature. Although the exact pathophysiology is unknown, Blount disease is separated into 2 clinical variants, infantile and adolescent, based on the onset of symptoms occurring before or after the age of 10 years. If recognized and treated early, affected patients generally have a favorable prognosis; however, if neglected, it can lead to progressive malalignment and premature osteoarthritis. We present a patient with bilateral neglected Blount disease who underwent successful bilateral total knee arthroplasty performed in a staged fashion using a gap balancing technique with constrained condylar knee implants.

Synchronisation of tibial rotational alignment with femoral component in total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:The rotational axis of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty described by Insall is generally accepted, but rotational mismatch between the femoral and the tibial components can occur because the alignment of each component is determined separately. We developed a connecting instrument to synchronise the axis of the tibia to the axis of the femur. We compared the rotational axis of the tibial component using our method and medial one third of tibial tuberosity (Insall's reference) in 70 consecutive TKAs. The rotational axis of the tibial component from the femoro-tibial synchronisation was rotated internally 13.8 degrees +/- 5.8 degrees (range, 2 degrees - 24 degrees ) more than the axis of Insall's reference. Eighty three percent of patellae tracked centrally and the patellae tilt measured 2.2 degrees on average. More attention should be given to the rotational congruency between the femoro-tibial components, because the recent prosthetic design has more conforming articular surfaces.

Pyoderma Gangrenosum After Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:Pyoderma gangrenosum is a neutrophilic dermatosis, which mimics both infection and necrotizing fasciitis, that can present after surgical interventions. We present the case of a 62-year-old male who underwent one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty. Nine days after the surgery, he presented with wound breakdown, high fever, and elevated white blood cell count. Repeated debridement was performed, and empiric antibiotics were given. All tissue cultures and aspirates remained negative throughout treatment course, and the patient remained unresponsive to therapy. The patient was eventually diagnosed with pyoderma gangrenosum after infectious etiologies were ruled out and after a skin biopsy and dermatologic consultation. His condition rapidly improved after treatment with corticosteroids, and soft-tissue defects were repaired with skin substitute and full-thickness skin grafting. In patients with aseptic wound breakdown after total knee arthroplasty, pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare but devastating complication and should be considered.

Does Resident Participation Influence Surgical Time and Clinical Outcomes? An Analysis on Primary Bilateral Single-Staged Sequential Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough several studies have indirectly compared teaching and nonteaching hospitals, results are conflicting, and evaluation of the direct impact of trainee involvement is lacking. We investigated the direct impact of resident participation in primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs).Material and methodsFifty patients undergoing single-staged sequential bilateral primary TKAs were evaluated. The more symptomatic side was performed by the attending surgeon first, followed by the contralateral side performed by a chief resident under direct supervision and assistance of the same attending surgeon. Surgery was subdivided into 8 critical steps on both sides. The overall time and critical stepwise surgical time and short-term clinical outcomes were then compared between the 2 sides.ResultsThe attending surgeon completed the surgery (skin incision to dressing) significantly faster than the resident (70.2 vs 96.9 minutes) by a mean of 26.7 minutes (P < .05) and was also faster in all steps. The most significant differences in time were in "exposure" (9.5 vs 16.5 minutes) and "closure" steps (13.2 vs 24.9 minites), all P < .001. Adverse events occurred in 7 patients; 5 of these resolved uneventfully. There were no significant differences in surgical complications, objective outcome scores, or patient satisfaction scores between both sides.ConclusionResident participation in TKA increased operative time without jeopardizing short-term patient clinical outcomes, satisfaction, and complications. This may alleviate concerns from patients and policymakers about TKA in an academic setting. Surgical "exposure" and "closure" were the most prolonged steps for the residents, and they may benefit with more focus and/or simulation studies during training.

Comparative Analysis of Unicompartmental Total Knee Arthroplasty and High Tibial Osteotomy: Time to Total Knee Arthroplasty and Other Outcome Measures

Project description:Background There is no consensus on whether unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is superior for unicompartmental arthritis. While there are studies comparing revision and complication rates, none matched a large number of patients undergoing HTO and UKA in the United States and compared these outcomes. We investigated TKA conversion rate and the complications following HTO or UKA. Methods This retrospective study queried the PearlDiver database of all patients undergoing UKA and HTO using CPT codes between January 2011 and January 2020. We compared propensity-matched populations based on age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index, and Elixhauser comorbidity index to compare odds of complications, TKA conversion, and drug use between UKA and HTO groups. Two-independent sample t-test for unequal variances and test of significance were performed. Results We found 32,583 UKA patients and 816 HTO patients. Each matched group had 535 patients. One-year complication showed higher risk of pneumonia, hematoma, infection, and mechanical complications among HTO patients. UKA patients used narcotics on average of 10.3 days compared to 9.1 days among HTO patients (P < .01). UKA conversion rates were 4.1%, 5.4%, 7.7%, and 9.2% at 1-, 2-, 5-, and 10-year intervals, respectively. HTO conversion rates were less than 2% at 1- and 2-year intervals, 3.4% at 5-year, and 4.5% at 10-year intervals. This difference was statistically significant at 5- and 10-year intervals (P < .01). Conclusions Using large matched cohorts, HTO may be converted to TKA later than UKA in short- to mid-term follow-up, and HTO patients used opioids for shorter duration.

Total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for high hip dislocation.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for high hip dislocation.MethodsIn this retrospective study, the results of 24 primary THAs with acetabular reconstruction and subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy in 21 patients with high hip dislocation were evaluated. The acetabula were reconstructed with cemented or uncemented cups and bone grafting. Transverse subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomies were applied and the osteotomy sites treated by bone grafting and cable fixation. Assessment was by Hip Harris scores and radiographic evaluation.ResultsThe mean follow-up time was 42 months (18-108 months), three cases being lost to follow-up 18-27 months postoperatively. The HHS improved from 47.5 ± 8.7 to 88.5 ± 3.1. The mean length of femoral segments removed was 2.5 ± 0.8 cm (range, 1.0-4.5 cm) and mean acetabular inclination 43° ± 5° (range, 31°-54°). Caudalization of the femoral head center was 3.2 ± 3.0 mm (range, -3 to 12 mm) and lateralization 4.0 ± 4.0 mm (range, -9 to 11 mm). Mean greater trochanter height relative to theoretical hip center was 5.2 ± 1.0 cm (range, 3.5-7.1 cm) preoperatively and 0.2 ± 0.6 cm (range, -0.9 to 1.2 cm) postoperatively. Intraoperative trochanteric fractures occurred in three cases and sciatic nerve palsy in one.ConclusionTHA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy is an effective technique for treating high hip dislocation. Its advantages include improvement in limb imbalance and decreased risk of sciatic nerve injury.

Total Knee Arthroplasty with Concomitant Corrective Tibial Osteotomy Using Patient-Specific Instrumentation and Computed Tomography-Based Navigation in Severe Post-High Tibial Osteotomy Valgus Collapse.

Project description:We report the case of a 78-year-old woman with lateral knee osteoarthritis and severe valgus knee deformity after high tibial osteotomy. The patient's severe valgus tibial deformity with a valgus angle of 45° was evaluated using a 3-dimensional bone model, and a closing-wedge osteotomy was planned. Combined total knee arthroplasty and closing-wedge tibial osteotomy were performed using patient-specific instrumentation and a computed tomography-based navigation system. A semiconstrained total knee system with a long stem was implanted for fixation of the osteotomy site in the tibia. The patient was able to walk without pain 2 years postoperatively. The Knee Society Score improved from 13 to 73 points, and the functional score improved from 30 to 65 points. This preoperative planning method and the treatment procedure would be beneficial for clinical decision-making and treatment of severe valgus knee deformities.

Gunshot Wound Resulting in Femoral Neck Fracture Treated With Staged Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:A 39-year-old male presented with multiple gunshot wounds and resultant left comminuted femoral head and neck fractures with retained intraarticular bullet fragments. Successful staged reconstruction was performed with initial placement of an antibiotic spacer and subsequent conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Staged reconstruction with an antibiotic spacer and conversion to total hip arthroplasty is a viable treatment approach for a gunshot wound resulting in intraarticular bullet fragments and comminuted femoral head and neck fractures not amenable to open reduction and internal fixation to reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection.
