Joint Arthroplasties

Trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMCOA) is a highly prevalent disease in the older population. Many different types of surgical treatments are possible, depending on the degree of joint involvement, the personal and professional circumstances of the patient and the preferences of the orthopedic surgeon. This paper evaluated the clinical and radiological results of consecutive cohorts of patients over 65 years old treated with total joint arthroplasties (TJA) of the ball and socket type (B&S) for TMCOA, with a minimum of 10 years follow-up. The survival rate (Kaplan–Meier) of the functional prostheses at 10 years was 92.2% (95% CI (89.1%, 96.1%). These functional arthroplasty patients, after 10 years of follow-up, showed little or no pain, good function and good key pinch, without radiological alterations. TJAs of the B&S type are a long lasting, effective and reliable alternative to surgical treatment of TMCOA in patients over 65 years of age, when they are performed with the patient selection criteria and surgical technique described throughout this study.

Between May 1999 and April 2002 a total of 69 consecutive thumb carpometacarpal joint arthoplasties were performed in a total of 64 patients for carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis using the cementless hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated unconstrained ARPE implant. Clinical, functional and radiological results at 10-year follow-up are presented. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Of the 64 patients, four were lost to follow-up, 60 implants (92.3%) were functional and five (7.7%) were not (two dislocated, two were removed and one with aseptic loosening). Survival estimate for functional implants over 10 years was 93.9% (95% confidence interval 82.3–97.9). The radiographs were satisfactory in 82.4%. There was subsidence of the cup in 15.8%. Thumb carpometacarpal joint arthroplasty with the ARPE implant offers a reliable treatment alternative in patients with Eaton grade III or IV thumb carpometacarpal joint arthritis in the presence of good bone stock.

Aims We previously reported the long-term results of the cementless Duraloc-Profile total hip arthroplasty (THA) system in a 12- to 15-year follow-up study. In this paper, we provide an update on the clinical and radiological results of a previously reported cohort of patients at 23 to 26 years´ follow-up. Patients and Methods Of the 99 original patients (111 hips), 73 patients (82 hips) with a mean age of 56.8 years (21 to 70) were available for clinical and radiological study at a minimum follow-up of 23 years. There were 40 female patients (44 hips) and 33 male patients (38 hips). Results All acetabular and femoral components were well fixed and showed signs of bone ingrowth. Nine acetabular components were revised due to wear-osteolysis-related problems and four due to late dislocation. The probability of not having component revision at 25 years was 83.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 74.5 to 91.8; number at risk 41). Acetabular osteolysis was observed in ten hips. The mean femoral head penetration was 1.52 mm (sd 0.8) at 15 years and 1.92 mm (sd 1.2) at 25 years. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that mean femoral penetration with a value of 0.11 mm/year or more was associated with the appearance of osteolysis. The 25-year Kaplan–Meier survival with different endpoints was 89.9% for acetabular osteolysis (95% CI 83.3 to 96.5), 92.1% for proximal femoral osteolysis (95% CI 86.1 to 98.2), and 75.5% for femoral osteopenia (95% CI 66.5 to 84.5). Conclusion The Duraloc-Profile THA system showed excellent long-term bone fixation. Nevertheless, monitoring is recommended in order to detect wear and late dislocations in this population that was relatively young at the time of surgery.

The IVORY® prosthesis is a total trapeziometacarpal joint prosthesis used for the treatment of symptomatic trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate its long-term outcomes with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. From 2004 to 2007, 110 trapeziometacarpal prostheses (95 patients) were implanted. The implant survival curve was constructed using the Kaplan–Meier method. Five patients were lost from follow-up and two died. Six prosthesis (5.5%) were removed after dislocation or fracture of the trapezium. The survival rate of the prosthesis was 95%. After 10 years, the mean visual analogue pain score was 0.24/10 and the key-pinch force was similar to the other hand. Dislocations occurred for eight implants (7.3%). No radiological loosening was noted. In conclusion, the long-term results with the IVORY® prosthesis are very satisfactory in terms of pain relief, function and survival. Level of evidence: II

Cuff Repair

Background: Modern rotator cuff repair techniques demonstrate favorable early and midterm outcomes, but long-term results have yet to be reported. Purpose: To determine 10-year outcomes and survivorship after arthroscopic double-row transosseous-equivalent (TOE) rotator cuff repair. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence 4. Methods: The primary TOE rotator cuff repair procedure was performed using either a knotted suture bridge or knotless tape bridge technique on a series of patients with 1 to 3 tendon full-thickness rotator cuff tears involving the supraspinatus. Only patients who were 10 years postsurgery were included. Patient-reported outcomes were collected pre- and postoperatively, including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), and satisfaction. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed. Failure was defined as progression to revision surgery. Results: A total of 91 shoulders (56 men, 31 women) were included between October 2005 and December 2009. Mean follow-up was 11.5 years (range, 10.0-14.1 years). Of 91 shoulders, 5 (5.5%) failed and required revision surgery. Patient-reported outcomes for patients who survived were known for 80% (69/86). Outcomes scores at final follow-up were as follows: ASES, 93.1 ± 10.8; SANE, 87.5 ± 14.2; QuickDASH, 11.1 ± 13.5; and SF-12 physical component summary (PCS), 49.2 ± 10.1. There were statistically significant declines in ASES, SANE, and SF-12 PCS from the 5-year to 10-year follow-up, but none of these changes met the minimally clinically important difference threshold. Median satisfaction at final follow-up was 10 (range, 3-10). From this cohort, Kaplan-Meier survivorship demonstrated a 94.4% survival rate at a minimum of 10 years. Conclusion: Arthroscopic TOE rotator cuff repair demonstrates high patient satisfaction and low revision rates at a mean follow-up of 11.5 years. This information may be directly utilized in surgical decision making and preoperative patient counseling regarding the longevity of modern double-row rotator cuff repair.

We undertook a retrospective study to evaluate minimal 8-year outcomes of 46 trapeziometacarpal joints (46 patients) treated with pyrocarbon implant arthroplasty after partial trapeziectomy for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis in two different hand surgery units. The mean follow-up interval was 9.5 years (average 113 months with a range 97–144 months). The study showed that pyrocarbon interpositional arthroplasty provided pain relief and high patient satisfaction. All patients experienced a reduction in the DASH score, with an average change of 30 points. The visual analogue scale score, the Kapandji score, and key pinch also showed remarkable improvement. The PyroDisk implant exhibited good longevity, with good implant survival. A review of the literature revealed that the functional outcomes after implant surgery are not superior to more common techniques, such as trapeziectomy with or without ligamentoplasty. Therefore, this is a reliable surgery but may not have added benefits over simpler surgical treatments. This implant could have a role, perhaps in a select group of young patients, as a time-procuring procedure. Level of evidence: IV

Cemented Cup

This study analyzes the long-term results of 23 metal ring supports used in revision surgery since 1979. Only a metallic ring and a cemented cup were used in this series. Bone grafts and cementless cups were excluded from this study. One deep infection was excluded from the follow-up study. In the 22 cases analyzed, the mean follow-up period was 10 years for all cases and 12.2 years for unrevised cases. Bone defects according to the AAOS classification were: Grade 1, 1 case, Grade 2, 1 case, Grade 3, 10 cases, and Grade 4, 10 cases. A Müller ring was indicated in an anterior or medial wall defect (12 cases) and a Burch-Schneider ring was indicated in an anterior or posterior column defect or in pelvic discontinuity (10 cases). The clinical results were good in 8 cases, fair in 8 cases, and poor in 6 cases. Six cases were rerevised or removed, resulting in a total cumulative probability of rerevison or removal of 23.8% after 10 years according to the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Postoperatively, 18 cases had neutral rings, 2 cases had horizontal rings, and 2 cases had vertical rings. Radiological cup migration was found in 12 cases, resulting in a total cumulative probability of migration of 56.8% after 13 years according to the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Changes in the acetabular angle were present in 2 cases, vertical migration in 12 cases, and medial migration in 10 cases. Our data suggest that the metal ring and cemented cup alone could be used for salvage surgery in elderly patients and in low-demand patients. Possibly, adding bone graft could improve these results.

Background. The aim of this study is to analyse the outcomes of total cementless hip joint arthroplasty in the treatment of advanced hip osteoarthritis following Perthes’ disease in childhood. Material and methods. The study enrolled 56 patients (15 women and 41 men) who underwent a total of 61 hip joint arthroplasties for coxarthrosis following Perthes’ disease. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 46.7 years (range 21-67 years). The mean follow-up period was 13.7 years. Results. Pre-operative Merle d’Aubigne-Postel scores (modified by Charnley) of the study group were poor in all patients. Mean post-operative improvement was 6.7 points. The outcomes were classified as excellent in 25 cases, good in 16, satisfactory in 16 and poor in 9 cases. Poor results were always related to loosening of the acetabular cup. Heterotopic ossification was noted in 7 cases. According to the Kaplan-Meier estimator, 10 years’ survival probability was 85.24% for the whole implant and 100% for the stem. Conclusions. 1. Total cementless hip joint arthroplasty is an effective method in the treatment of advanced hip osteoarthritis following Perthes’ disease in childhood. 2. With good surgical technique and in the absence of complications, the risk of aseptic loosening is minimal. 3. Due to the patients’ young age, there may be more cases of loosening over time, requiring regular long-term follow-up.

Background and aim: External humeral condyle fracture associated with a posteromedial elbow dislocation is a very rare entity, of which there are very few cases published. Our objective is to present a complex case treated in our Hospital, the diagnosis, the treatment we chose, and the follow-up at 9 weeks after the intervention. Clinical case: 5-year-old boy with a posteromedial elbow dislocation associated with an external humeral condyle fracture, which was diagnosed by CT and treated surgically using an anterior approach over the elbow, open reduction, and osteosynthesis with K-wires. Results: clinical and radiological results 9 weeks after the intervention were excellent, presenting a Radiographic consolidation of the fracture and an excellent range of joint mobility. Conclusion: early diagnosis and surgical treatment through open reduction and osteosynthesis of the external condyle is the gold standard on treatment for these injuries, since a bad reduction leads to poor long-term results.

High Dose Melphalan

Abstract AL amyloidosis is a clonal plasma cell dyscrasia in which misfolded immunoglobulin light chains deposit in tissues and produce organ failure and death. Untreated, median survival is short. Melphalan-based regimens can produce hematologic remissions and improvement in organ function; more than 20% of patients treated with high dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDM/SCT) have survived more than 10 years (Blood, in press). The combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone can also produce partial and complete hematologic responses (Blood2007;109:492–496). Here we report on remission duration and long-term results of treatment in the original 34 patients and an additional 9 patients, with median follow up of 26.5 m. The median age of the 43 patients was 64 (range, 44–84), 70% were male, 67% were lambda isotype, 46% had multi-organ involvement, and 42% had cardiac involvement. 90% had received prior melphalan-based therapy; in 60% this was HDM/SCT. 14% of patients had received thalidomide and 5%, bortezomib. 10% had no prior treatment. Patients were begun at 15 mg lenalidomide per day for 21 days per month; the median tolerated dose was 10 mg. The response rate was 60% (24% CR, 36% PR); an additional 15% of patients had minor responses. Of the 8 patients who achieved a CR, 6 occurred at 3–6 months of treatment, but 2 were late (18m, 19m). 7 of 8 are alive; one died of cardiac allograft rejection. 3 of 8 have relapsed. 5 of 8 maintain remissions for 6–30 m, of which 4 of 8 continue in CR off therapy for 6–21m. Kaplan-Meier survival for all 43 patients is shown. 7 of 8 patients achieving CR had significant proteinuria: in 2 patients (29%), proteinuria resolved (2 g to 120 mg, 8.8 g to 140 mg); in 3 (43%) it improved by 50% or more; and in 2 there has been no change. Thus, lenalidomide can produce beneficial hematologic and organ responses in AL amyloidosis patients, and remissions can be durable off therapy. Further trials should be done to determine how and when to incorporate lenalidomide into treatment protocols for AL amyloidosis. Figure Figure

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was (i) to review the long-term outcome of cemented Charnley total hip replacements (THRs) performed by 1 surgeon (GH), 20 to 42 years ago, in patients ≥60 years, using both the Kaplan-Meier (KM) and the cumulative incidence (CI) methods, and (ii) to compare the estimations of the 2 statistical methods. Methods: We evaluated the outcome of 306 consecutive primary cemented THRs that were performed in 265 patients. The final clinical, radiographic assessment and satisfaction of living patients were also included. The survivorship was estimated with the use of KM and CI methods and the relative difference between their estimations was calculated. Results: Living patients’ final clinical results were significantly improved in comparison with respective preoperative ones, and all the acetabular and 91% of femoral components considered as well fixed. 95% of these patients reported satisfaction. The risk of revision at 25 years, with revision for aseptic loosening for 1 or both components as the endpoint, with 21 hips at risk, assessed with KM analysis was 6.9% and with CI approach was 3.9%. The relative difference between KM and CI estimations was increasing during follow-up, reaching up to 76.8% at 25 years. Conclusions: We concluded that fixation of implants with cement in older patients had satisfactory long-term results and can serve as a benchmark with which to compare newer fixation methods (hybrid and uncemented) and materials. However, KM method, in studies that include older population with long-term follow-up, may significantly overestimate the risk of revision and clinicians could consider using besides the cumulative incidence of competing risk method.
