This experimental series sought to determine the influence of BPA exposure on the femoral bone architecture and biomechanical properties of male and female Wistar rats. BPA was applied subcutaneously by using osmotic pumps. After 12 weeks, the bones were analyzed by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and a three-point bending test. Comparing the female low- and high-dose groups, a significantly greater marrow area (p = 0.047) was identified in the group exposed to a higher BPA concentration. In addition, the trabecular number tended to be higher in the female high-dose group when compared to the low-dose group (p > 0.05). The area moment of inertia also tended to be higher in the male high-dose group when compared to the male low-dose group (p > 0.05). Considering our results, BPA-related effects on the bone morphology in female Wistar rats are osteoanabolic after high-dose exposure, while, in male rats, a tendency toward negative effects on the bone morphology in terms of a reduced cross-sectional cortical area and total area could be demonstrated.}, language = {en} } @article{StreckForstervonHertzbergBoelchetal.2022, author = {Streck, Laura Elisa and Forster, Johannes and von Hertzberg-Boelch, Sebastian Philipp and Reichel, Thomas and Rudert, Maximilian and Rueckl, Kilian}, title = {The role of synovial fluid aspiration in shoulder joint infections}, series = {BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders}, volume = {23}, journal = {BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders}, doi = {10.1186/s12891-022-05285-x}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-300795}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Background Joint aspiration with analysis of synovial fluid white blood cell count (WBC) and microbiological culture is a widely established aspect in the diagnosis of shoulder joint infections (SJI). In case of a two stage revision for SJI, joint aspiration before re-/implantation of a total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) was used to rule out persistent infection for years but its value is under debate. Shoulder specific data on all aspects is rare. The current study aims to answer the following research questions: Does joint aspiration have an insufficient predictive value in the diagnosis of SJI in (1) initial workup and (2) before definite arthroplasty with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-Spacer in place? Methods This retrospective evaluation investigates 35 patients that were treated for SJI with a two staged implantation of a TSA after debridement and implantation of an PMMA-Spacer. Joint aspirations were performed preoperatively (PA) and before re-/implantation of the prosthesis while spacer was in place (interstage aspiration, IA). Samples were taken for microbiological culture and analysis of WBC. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated with reference to intraoperative microbiological samples. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), Area-Under-Curve analysis (AUC) and calculation of the Youden index were performed to find optimum cut-off for WBC. Results The sensitivity of microbiological cultures from PA was 58.3\% and the specificity was 88.9\%. The mean WBC was 27,800 leucocytes/mm3 (range 400-96,300). The maximum Youden index (0.857) was a cut-off of 2600 leucocytes/mm3 with a sensitivity of 85.7\% and a specificity of 100.0\%. The sensitivity and specificity of IA were 0.0\% and 88.5\%, respectively. Conclusions Preoperative aspiration is likely to miss Cutibacteria spp. and CoNS and cannot rule out infection for sure. However, we recommend it for its advantages of targeted antibiotic therapy in case of germ identification. Empiric antibiotic therapy should cover Cutibacteria and CoNS even if aspiration showed negative microbiological cultures.

The objective of this monocentric cohort study was to analyze patient-reported and functional outcomes in a series of patients implanted with the second generation of this customized implant. Methods: At our arthroplasty center, we prospectively recruited a cohort of patients with tricompartmental gonarthrosis to be treated with total knee replacement (TKA) using a customized cruciate-retaining (CCR) implant design. Inclusion criteria for patients comprised the presence of intact posterior cruciate and collateral ligaments and a knee deformity that was restricted to <15° varus, valgus, or flexion contracture. Patients were assessed for their range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster University osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), and short form (SF)-12 physical and mental scores, preoperatively, at 3 and 6 months, as well as at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years of follow-up (FU) postoperatively. Results: The average age of the patient population was 64 years (range: 40-81), the average BMI was 31 (range: 23-42), and in total, 28 female and 45 male patients were included. Implant survivorship was 97.5\% (one septic loosening) at an average follow-up of 2.5 years. The KSS knee and function scores improved significantly (p < 0.001) from, respectively, 41 and 53 at the pre-operative visit, to 92 and 86, respectively, at the 5-year post-operative time point. The SF-12 Physical and Mental scores significantly (p < 0.001) improved from the pre-operative values of 28 and 50, to 50 and 53 at the 5-year FU, respectively. Patients experienced significant improvements in their overall knee range of motion, from 106° at the preoperative visit to 122°, on average, 5 years postoperatively. The total WOMAC score significantly (p < 0.001) improved from 49.1 preoperatively to 11.4 postoperatively at 5-year FU. Conclusions: Although there was no comparison to other implants within this study, patients reported high overall satisfaction and improvement in functional outcomes within the first year from surgery, which continued over the following years. These mid-term results are excellent compared with those reported in the current literature. Comparative long-term studies with this device are needed.

This enables simultaneous CT-diagnostics and treatment of two trauma patients. The focus of this study was to investigate the quality of the concept based on defined outcome criteria in this specific setting (time from arrival to initiation of CT scan: tCT; time from arrival to initiation of emergency surgery: tES). We analyzed all trauma patients admitted to the hospital's trauma suite from 1st May 2019 through 29th April 2020. Two subgroups were defined: trauma patients, who were treated without a second trauma patient present (group 1) and patients, who were treated simultaneously with another trauma patient (group 2). Simultaneous treatment was defined as parallel arrival within a period of 20 min. Of 423 included trauma patients, 46 patients (10.9\%) were treated simultaneously. Car accidents were the predominant trauma mechanism in this group (19.6\% vs. 47.8\%, p < 0.05). Prehospital life-saving procedures were performed with comparable frequency in both groups (intubation 43.5\% vs. 39\%, p = 0.572); pleural drainage 3.2\% vs. 2.2\%, p = 0.708; cardiopulmonary resuscitation 5\% vs. 2.2\%, p = 0.387). At hospital admission, patients in group 2 suffered significantly more pain (E-problem according to Advanced Trauma Life Support principles©; 29.2\% vs. 45.7\%, p < 0.05).

The clinical practicability, its correlation with arthroscopically assessed grading systems (ICRS - International Cartilage Repair Society) and thereby its clinical value in terms of decision making and guiding prognosis was yet to determine. Methods From 2008 to 2019 a total of 89 individuals were indicated for high tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) due to tibial varus deformity and concomitant chondral defects of the medial compartment of the knee. All patients received a preoperative MRI (1.5 Tesla or 3.0 Tesla) and pre-osteotomy diagnostic arthroscopy. Chondral defects of the medial compartment were scored and graded with the MRI based AMADEUS by three independent raters and compared to arthroscopic defect grading by the ICRS system. Interrater and intrarater reliability as well as correlation analysis with the ICRS classification system were assessed. Results Intraclass correlation coefficients for the various subscores of the AMADEUS showed an overall good to excellent interrater agreement (min: 0.26, max: 0.80). Intrarater agreement turned out to be substantially inferior (min: 0.08, max: 0.53). Spearman correlation revealed an overall moderate correlative association of the AMADEUS subscores with the ICRS classification system, apart from the defect area subscore. Sensitivity of the AMADEUS to accurately identify defect severity according to the ICRS was 0.7 (0.69 for 3.0 Tesla MRI, 0.67 for 1.5 Tesla MRI). The mean AMADEUS grade was 2.60 ± 0.81 and the mean ICRS score 2.90 ± 0.63. Conclusions Overall, the AMADEUS with all its subscores shows moderate correlation with the arthroscopic chondral grading system according to ICRS.

This study investigated if an injury prevention programme effectively reduces overuse injury to the throwing shoulder of handball athletes. Methods 61 men's and women's handball teams (u-19 and senior athletes) were cluster-randomised into an intervention and a control group in the 2019-2020 season. Players of the intervention group regularly carried out an injury prevention programme. Both groups documented overuse shoulder injuries via an online questionnaire every second week. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of overuse injury to the throwing shoulder. Secondary endpoints were the influence of compliance on the primary endpoint and intensity of overuse shoulder symptoms measured by a shortened, handball-specific Western Ontario Shoulder Index (WOSI). Results 31 teams (295 players) in the intervention group and 30 teams (284 players) in the control group were included for analyses. The overall questionnaire response rate was 61\%. The average prevalence of overuse shoulder injury did not significantly differ between the intervention group (n=109, 38.4\% (95\% CI 32.9\% to 44.2\%)) and the control group (n=106, 35.9\% (95\% CI 30.7\% to 41.6\%), p=0.542).

Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the predictive value of patient-related characteristics. Predictor-adjusted individual risks of blood transfusions and the occurrence of any perioperative adverse event were calculated for potentially modifiable risk factors. Results: 3754 patients were included in this study. The overall blood transfusion and complication rates were 4.8\% and 6.4\%, respectively. Haemoglobin concentration (Hb, p < 0.001), low body mass index (BMI, p < 0.001) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, p = 0.004) were the strongest potentially modifiable predictors of a blood transfusion. EGFR (p = 0.001) was the strongest potentially modifiable predictor of a complication.

The aim of this review is to add to the understanding of the disadvantages and advantages of various combinations of MSC-subpopulations, growth factors, gene transfers, and hydrogels in cartilage engineering.}, language = {en} } @article{KrsticHerrmannGadjanskietal.2017, author = {Krstic, Jelena and Herrmann, Marietta and Gadjanski, Ivana and Mojsilovic, Slavko}, title = {Editorial: Microenvironment-derived stem cell plasticity}, series = {Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology}, issn = {2296-634X}, doi = {10.3389/fcell.2017.00082}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-197424}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, language = {en} } @article{MagesShojaaKohletal.2021, author = {Mages, Michelle and Shojaa, Mahdieh and Kohl, Matthias and Stengel, Simon von and Becker, Clemens and Gosch, Markus and Jakob, Franz and Kerschan-Schindl, Katharina and Kladny, Bernd and Kl{\"o}ckner, Nicole and Lange, Uwe and Middeldorf, Stefan and Peters, Stefan and Schoene, Daniel and Sieber, Cornel C. and Tholen, Reina and Thomasius, Friederike E. and Uder, Michael and Kemmler, Wolfgang}, title = {Exercise effects on Bone Mineral Density in men}, series = {Nutrients}, volume = {13}, journal = {Nutrients}, number = {12}, issn = {2072-6643}, doi = {10.3390/nu13124244}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-250247}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In contrast to postmenopausal women, evidence for a favorable effect of exercise on Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is still limited for men. This might be due to the paucity of studies, but also to the great variety of participants and study characteristics that may dilute study results. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of exercise on BMD changes with rational eligibility criteria. A comprehensive search of six electronic databases up to 15 March 2021 was conducted. Briefly, controlled trials ≥6 months that determined changes in areal BMD in men >18 years old, with no apparent diseases or pharmacological therapy that relevantly affect bone metabolism, were included. BMD changes (standardized mean differences: SMD) of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) were considered as outcomes. Twelve studies with 16 exercise and 12 control groups were identified. The pooled estimate of random-effect analysis was SMD = 0.38, 95\%-CI: 0.14-0.61 and SMD = 0.25, 95\%-CI: 0.00-0.49, for LS and FN, respectively. Heterogeneity between the trials was low-moderate. Funnel plots and rank and regression correlation tests indicate evidence for small study publication bias for LS but not FN-BMD. Subgroup analyses that focus on study length, type of exercise and methodologic quality revealed no significant difference between each of the three categories. In summary, we provided further evidence for a low but significant effect of exercise on BMD in men.

Synovial fluid aspiration has been proven to be a reliable tool in the diagnosis of joint infections of the lower extremity, but shoulder specific data is limited. This study defines a threshold for synovial fluid white blood cell count (WBC) and assesses the reliability of microbiological cultures. Methods: Retrospective study of preoperative and intraoperative fluid aspiration of 31 patients who underwent a revision of a shoulder arthroplasty (15 with PSI defined by IDSA criteria, 16 without infection). The threshold for WBC was calculated by ROC/AUC analysis. Results: WBC was significantly higher in patients with PSI than in other patients. A threshold of 2800 leucocytes/mm\(^3\) showed a sensitivity of 87\% and a specificity of 88\% (AUROC 0.92). Microbiological cultures showed a sensitivity of 76\% and a specificity of 100\%. Conclusions: A threshold of 2800 leucocytes/mm\(^3\) in synovial fluid can be recommended to predict PSI. Microbiological culture has an excellent specificity and allows for targeted antibiotic therapy.

Deviations from the patient's individual pre-arthritic posterior slope tighten and slacken the PCL in flexion that drives tibial rotation, and such a change might compromise passive internal tibial rotation and coupled patellofemoral kinematics. Methods: Twenty-one patients were treated with a calipered KA TKA and a PCL retaining implant with a medial ball-in-socket and a lateral flat articular insert conformity that mimics the native (i.e., healthy) knee. The slope of the tibial resection was set parallel to the medial joint line by adjusting the plane of an angel wing inserted in the tibial guide. Three trial inserts that matched and deviated 2°> and 2°< from the patient's pre-arthritic slope were 3D printed with goniometric markings. The goniometer measured the orientation of the tibia (i.e., trial insert) relative to the femoral component. Results: There was no difference between the radiographic preoperative and postoperative tibial slope (0.7 ± 3.2°, NS). From extension to 90° flexion, the mean passive internal tibial rotation with the pre-arthritic slope insert of 19° was greater than the 15° for the 2°> slope (p < 0.000), and 15° for the 2°< slope (p < 0.000). Discussion: When performing a calipered KA TKA with PCL retention, the correct target for setting the tibial component is the patient's individual pre-arthritic slope within a tolerance of ±2°, as this target resulted in a 15-19° range of internal tibial rotation that is comparable to the 15-18° range reported for the native knee from extension to 90° flexion.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Heinz2022, author = {Heinz, Tizian}, title = {Das Knorpelregister DGOU zur systematischen Patientenerfassung nach knorpelchirurgischen Eingriffen des Kniegelenkes - Analyse und wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung der ersten 100 Patienten an der Orthop{\"a}dischen Klinik K{\"o}nig-Ludwig-Haus}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-28288}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-282882}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Die stark limitierte intrinsische Regenerationsf{\"a}higkeit des hyalinen Gelenkknorpels stellt auch in der modernen Medizin eine große Herausforderung dar.

Methods and Materials Two surgeons treated 21 patients with calipered KA and a PCL retaining MS implant. Validated verification checks that restore native tibial compartment forces in passive flexion without release of healthy ligaments were used to select the optimal insert thickness. A goniometer etched onto trial inserts with the ball-in-socket and the less than spherical medial conformity measured the tibial rotation relative to the femoral component at extension and 90° and 120° flexion.

Eine Beckendiskontinuit{\"a}t (PD „pelvic discontinuity") stellt dabei eines der herausforderndsten Szenarien dar. Wir berichten {\"u}ber unsere klinischen Ergebnisse mit einer asymmetrischen H{\"u}ftpfannenkomponente zur Behandlung der PD. Das Implantat ist mit einer extramedull{\"a}ren anatomisch geformten Lasche ausgestattet, die an der glutealen Oberfl{\"a}che des Iliums fixiert wird. Eine zus{\"a}tzliche Fixierung kann durch die Implantation eines intramedull{\"a}ren iliakalen Darmbeinzapfens erfolgen. MATERIAL UND METHODEN: In einer monozentrischen retrospektiven Kohortenstudie analysierten wir prospektiv erhobene Daten von 49 Pat. (35 weiblich, 14 m{\"a}nnlich) mit unilateraler periprothetischer Beckendiskontinuit{\"a}t, die 2009-2017 mittels einer asymmetrischen Acetabulumkomponente operativ behandelt wurden. Das mittlere Alter der Betroffenen zum Zeitpunkt der Indexoperation betrug 72 Jahre (54- 90 Jahre). Die mittlere Nachbeobachtungszeit lag bei 71 Monaten (21-114 Monate). S{\"a}mtliche in der Folge aufgetretenen Komplikationen wurden dokumentiert und die radiologischen und funktionellen Ergebnisse (anhand des Harris Hip Scores (HHS) sowie der visuellen Analogskala f{\"u}r Schmerz (VAS)) wurden ausgewertet. ERGEBNISSE: Mittels Kaplan-Meier-Analyse konnte f{\"u}r unsere Studiengruppe ein 5-Jahres-Implantat{\"u}berleben von 91\% (Konfidenzintervall 77\%-96\%) festgestellt werden). Der mittlere HHS verbesserte sich in unserem Patient*innenkollektiv von 41 pr{\"a}operativ auf 79 bei der letzten Nachuntersuchung (p< .001); die VAS verbesserte sich hochsignifikant von einem Mittelwert von sechs pr{\"a}operativ auf postoperativ eins (p< .001). Die Gesamtrevisionsrate betrug 16\% (n=8). Zwei der Pat. ben{\"o}tigten eine Revision bei aseptischer Lockerung. Bei vier Pat. (8\%) wurde eine periprothetische Infektion festgestellt: ein Patient wurde deshalb mit einer zweizeitigen Revision und ein weiterer mit einer Resektionsarthroplastik behandelt. Die anderen zwei Pat. wurden jeweils mit einem chirurgischen Eingriff im Sinne eines Debridements, ausgiebiger Sp{\"u}lung sowie dem Austausch der mobilen Teile behandelt. Von sechs Pat. (12\%), die eine H{\"u}ftluxation erlitten, war bei zweien die Implantation einer Dual-Mobility-Acetabulumkomponente erforderlich.

Physical forces are generated through gravity, locomotion, exercise, and external devices. Cells sense mechanical strain via adhesion molecules and translate it into biochemical responses, modulating the basic mechanisms of cellular biology such as lineage commitment, tissue formation, and maturation. This may result in the initiation of bone formation, muscle hypertrophy, and the enhanced production of extracellular matrix constituents, adhesion molecules, and cytoskeletal elements. Bone and muscle mass, resistance to strain, and the stiffness of matrix, cells, and tissues are enhanced, influencing fracture resistance and muscle power. This propagates a dynamic and continuous reciprocity of physicochemical interaction. Secreted growth and differentiation factors are important effectors of mutual interaction. The acute effects of exercise induce the secretion of exosomes with cargo molecules that are capable of mediating the endocrine effects between muscle, bone, and the organism. Long-term changes induce adaptations of the respective tissue secretome that maintain adequate homeostatic conditions.

Sie gehen oft mit einer Verletzung des medialen patellofemoralen Ligaments (MPFL) einher, was zu rezidivierenden Patellaluxationen und patellofemoraler Instabilit{\"a}t f{\"u}hren kann. Ein m{\"o}glicher Therapieansatz ist die Rekonstruktion des MPFL. Zahlreiche Operationstechniken sind hierzu in der Literatur beschrieben, darunter Fixationen mit Interferenzschrauben, Bohrkan{\"a}len, Nahtankern oder Nahtfixationen am Knochen oder Weichgewebe. Sie werden meist mit einem autologen Sehnentransplantats durchgef{\"u}hrt und unterscheiden sich haupts{\"a}chlich in der Art dessen patellarer Fixation. Meta-Analysen zeigen nach wie vor hohe Komplikationsraten und teilweise wenig zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse etablierter MPFL-Rekonstruktionen. Ein vielversprechender Ansatz zur Senkung der Komplikationsraten sind patellare Fixationsmethoden, die auf das Einbringen von Fremdmaterial und Bohrungen durch die Patella verzichten. Solche implantat- und/oder bohrkanalfreien Fixationsmethoden sind bereits in der Literatur beschrieben, bis jetzt existieren jedoch nur wenige Studien zu deren biomechanischen Eigenschaften. Ziel dieser Arbeit war der Vergleich biomechanischer Eigenschaften von f{\"u}nf unterschiedlichen implantatfreien patellaren Fixationsmethoden beim MPFL- Ersatz mit dem nativen MPFL und mit nativen Extensorensehnen. Dazu wurde ein porcines Modell benutzt. Die Hypothese dieser Studie war, dass die patellare Weichteilfixation eines autologen Sehnentransplantats ohne Implantate oder Bohrkanal eine vergleichbare prim{\"a}re Ausrissfestigkeit wie das native MPFL zeigt. 60 Patellae und Extensorensehnen wurden aus porcinen Hinterl{\"a}ufen extrahiert und randomisiert auf 6 Versuchsgruppen aufgeteilt (n=10). In den Gruppen 1 und 2 wurden patellare Weichteilfixationen getestet. In den Gruppen 3 und 4 wurden Bohrkanalfixationen mit unterschiedlichem Nahtmaterial durchgef{\"u}hrt (Gruppe 3: resorbierbarer Faden der St{\"a}rke USP 0, Gruppe 4: nicht-resorbierbarer Faden der St{\"a}rke USP 3). In Gruppe 5 erfolgte die patellare Fixation mittels V-f{\"o}rmigen Bohrkanal mit Durchmesser von 4,5 mm. In der sechsten Versuchsgruppe wurde zum Vergleich das native Gewebe getestet. In einer weiteren Versuchsgruppe wurden native porcine Extensorensehnen biomechanisch untersucht. Die biomechanische Testung gliederte sich in mehrere Abschnitte. Zun{\"a}chst erfolgte eine Pr{\"a}konditionierung mit 10 Setzzyklen mit einem Kraftintervall von 5 - 20 N. Es folgte eine zyklische Testphase von 1000 Messzyklen mit einem Kraftintervall von 5 - 50 N. Im Anschluss wurde die maximale Kraft bis zum Versagen angewendet. Dabei wurden die Parameter maximale Ausrisskraft, Yield Load, Steifigkeit, Elongation nach 1000 Zyklen sowie die Versagensart untersucht. In der Versuchsgruppe des nativen Gewebes wurde direkt die maximale Kraft bis zum Versagen angewendet. Die h{\"o}chsten maximalen Ausrisskr{\"a}fte wurden in Gruppen 1 und 2 gemessen (321,8 ± 53,5 N und 242,0 ± 57,4 N) und waren mit dem nativen Gewebe vergleichbar (252,1 ± 129,3 N, p > 0,05). Ein signifikant niedrigerer Yield Load im Vergleich zum nativen Gewebe zeigte sich in den Gruppen 3 (p < 0,01) und 4 (p = 0,01). W{\"a}hrend der zyklischen Belastung war die Elongation der Pr{\"a}parate in Gruppe 3 signifikant h{\"o}her im Vergleich zu den anderen Gruppen (5,3 ± 1 mm, p < 0,05). Alle Gruppen wiesen {\"a}hnliche Steifigkeiten wie das native Gewebe vor (p > 0,05). Die getesteten Fixationsmethoden zeigten signifikante Unterschiede in ihren biomechanischen Eigenschaften (p < 0,05).

The questionnaire included questions about anthropometry, skill level, injury diagnosis, injury mechanism, environmental conditions and training regimes. Results The 626 athletes included reported 2584 injuries. On average, each athlete sustained 4.12 injuries during the season. The most frequent injury location was in the lower extremity, in particular the foot, with 49 (16.4\%) injuries in surfing, 344 (18.3\%) in wind surfing and 79 (19.7\%) in kite surfing. Surfing demonstrated a particularly high rate of head injuries (n = 37; 12.4\%). Other frequent injury types were skin lesions (up to 42.1\%) and contusions (up to 40.5\%). The most common injury across all surfing sports was skin lesions of the foot (wind surfing: 11.7\%; kite surfing: 13.2\%; surfing: 12.7\%). In surfing, skin lesions of the head were frequently observed (n = 24; 8.0\%). In surfing, a 'too large wave' (n = 18; 24.7\%) was main cause of the injury, while in wind surfing (n = 189; 34.5\%) and kite surfing (n = 65; 36.7\%) 'own incompetence' led to the most injuries.

Methods. 256 THA revisions were retrospectively classified to be infected or not infected. Classification was performed according to the 4 different definitions proposed by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the International Consensus Meeting (ICM), and the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS). Only chronic PJIs were included. Results. PJI prevalence at revision significantly correlated with the applied PJI definition (p=0.01, Cramer's V=0.093).

Methods In Germany, injuries are registered with the statutory accident insurance for professional athletes (VBG) by clubs or club physicians as part of occupational accident reporting. Moderate and severe injuries (absence of > 7 days) sustained during basketball competition in one of four seasons (2014-2017 and 2018-2019) in the first or second national men's league in Germany were prospectively analyzed using a newly developed standardized observation form. Season 2017-2018 was excluded because of missing video material. Results Video analysis included 175 (53\%) of 329 moderate and severe match injuries. Contact patterns categorized according to the different body sites yielded eight groups of typical injury patterns: one each for the head, shoulders, and ankles, two for the thighs, and three for the knees. Injuries to the head (92\%), ankles (76\%), shoulders (70\%), knees (47\%), and thighs (32\%) were mainly caused by direct contact. The injury proportion of foul play was 19\%.

This study showed that adults with hypophosphatasia treated with asfotase alfa experienced significant changes in biochemical markers of bone and mineral metabolism, possibly reflecting enhanced bone remodeling of previously osteomalacic bone. Introduction Hypophosphatasia (HPP), due to a tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) deficiency, can cause impaired bone mineralization and turnover. Although HPP may be treated with asfotase alfa, an enzyme replacement therapy, limited data are available on how treatment with asfotase alfa affects mineral metabolism and bone turnover in adults with HPP. Methods ALP substrates, bone turnover and mineral metabolism markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) data from EmPATHY, a single-center, observational study of adults (≥ 18 years) with pediatric-onset HPP treated with asfotase alfa (NCT03418389), were collected during routine clinical care and analyzed from baseline through 24 months of treatment. Results Data from 21 patients showed significantly increased ALP activity and reduced urine phosphoethanolamine (PEA)/creatinine (Cr) ratios after baseline through 24 months of asfotase alfa treatment. There were significant transient increases in parathyroid hormone 1-84 (PTH), osteocalcin, and procollagen type 1 N-propeptide (P1NP) levels at 3 and 6 months and in tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) levels at 3 months, with a significant decrease in N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (NTX) levels at 24 months.

Methods From 1117 consecutive primary TKAs treated by one surgeon with unrestricted calipered KA, an observer identified all patients (N = 198) that otherwise had normal paired femora and tibiae on a long-leg CT scanogram. In both legs, the distal femur-mechanical axis angle (FMA), proximal tibia-mechanical axis angle (TMA), and the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) were measured. Each alignment angle was assigned to one of Hirschmann's five FMA, five TMA, and seven HKA phenotype categories. Results Three TKAs (1.5\%) underwent reoperation for anterior knee pain or patellofemoral instability in the subgroup of patients with the more valgus phenotypes. There were no implant revisions for component loosening, wear, or tibiofemoral instability. The median Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) was similar between phenotypes. The median Oxford Knee Score (OKS) was similar between the TMA and HKA phenotypes and greatest in the most varus FMA phenotype. The phenotype proportions after calipered KA TKA were comparable to the contralateral leg. Conclusion Unrestricted calipered KA's restoration of the wide range of phenotypes did not result in implant revision or poor FJS and OKS scores at a mean follow-up of 4 years. The few reoperated patients had a more valgus setting of the prosthetic trochlea than recommended for mechanical alignment. Designing a femoral component specifically for KA that restores patellofemoral kinematics with all phenotypes, especially the more valgus ones, is a strategy for reducing reoperation risk.}, language = {en} } @article{StreckSeefriedGenestetal.2022, author = {Streck, Laura Elisa and Seefried, Lothar and Genest, Franca and Reichel, Thomas and Rudert, Maximilian and Rueckl, Kilian}, title = {Insuffizienzfraktur der Klavikula nach Implantation einer inversen Schulterendoprothese}, series = {Der Orthop{\"a}de}, volume = {51}, journal = {Der Orthop{\"a}de}, number = {3}, doi = {10.1007/s00132-021-04205-6}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-265286}, pages = {246-250}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Wir stellen den seltenen Fall einer Insuffizienzfraktur der Klavikula nach Implantation einer inversen Schulterendoprothese (RSA) vor.

Exercise interventions can improve physical function in the elderly but there is a paucity of comparative assessments in order to understand what specific goals can be achieved particularly with less demanding exercise interventions readily accessible for untrained men. Methods Prospective randomized, controlled, single center exploratory trial to compare four distinct exercise interventions, i.e. Resistance Training (RT), Whole Body Vibration Exercise (WBV), Qi Gong (QG) and wearing a Spinal orthosis (SO) for 6 months in men at risk for osteoporosis aged 65-90 years. Primary endpoint was change in isometric one repetition maximum force trunk strength for extension (TSE) and flexion (TSF) compared to baseline, secondary endpoints covered key parameters of geriatric functional assessment, including Handgrip Strength (HS), Chair-Rise-Test (CRT), Usual Gait Speed (UGS) and Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG). Results Altogether 47 men (mean age 77 ±6.1 years) were randomized to RT, (n = 11) WBV (n = 13), QG (n = 10) and SO(n = 13). RT, defined as reference exercise intervention, lead to significant improvements for TSE (p = 0.009) and TSF (p = 0.013) and was significantly superior in the between-group analysis for TSE (p = 0.038). Vibration exercise caused sign. Improvements in TSE (p = 0.014) and CRT (p = 0.005), the Spinal orthosis improved CRT (p = 0.003) and Gait Speed (p = 0.027), while the QG intervention did not attain any sig. Developments. Subgroup analyses revealed most pronounced musculoskeletal progress in vulnerable patients (age ≥ 80 years, pre-sarcopenia, multimorbidity ≥3chronic diseases). Irrespective of the type of exercise, participants ≥80 years experienced significant gains in TSE (p = 0.029) and CRT (p = 0.017). Presarcopenic subjects (Skeletal muscle Index (SMI) ≤10.75 kg/m2) improved in TSE (p = 0.003), CRT (p = 0.001) and UGS (p = 0.016). Multimorbid participants achieved sig. Gains in TSE (p < 0.001), TSF (p = 0.002), UGS (p = 0.036) and HS (p = 0.046). Conclusions In this exploratory trial we found that simple exercise interventions are feasible in elderly men eliciting specific benefits, i.e. improvements are attained in those tasks addressed with the respective exercise modality. While targeted resistance training is superior in increasing TSE, alternative simple exercise interventions also appear to elicit beneficial effects, even in vulnerable patients, i.e. those with low muscle mass, above 80 years of age or multimorbidity.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Rak2022, author = {Rak, Dominik Alexis}, title = {Die Nanos Kurzschaftprothese - Analyse von mittelfristigen klinischen Ergebnissen}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-26418}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-264185}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Retrospektive Untersuchung von pr{\"a}- und postoperativ erhobener Datens{\"a}tze von 60 Patienten, die {\"u}ber einen minimal-invasiven anterioren Zugang mit einer Nanos-Kurzschaftprothese versorgt wurden.

Unfortunately, most implants with microbial repellent properties are characterized by accessibility limitations during daily clinical practice. Aim of this in vitro study was to investigate whether suture tapes and cerclage wires, which were treated with vancomycin, show a sustainable antibacterial activity. For this purpose, we used 24 stainless steel wire cerclages and 24 ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and polyester suture tape test bodies. The test bodies were incubated for 30 min. in 100 mg/ml vancomycin solution or equivalent volumes of 0.9\% NaCl. After measuring the initial solution uptake of the test bodies, antibacterial efficacy via agar diffusion test with Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin elution tests were performed 1, 2, 3, and 6 days after incubation. Vancomycin-loaded tapes as well as vancomycin-loaded cerclage wires demonstrated increased bacterial growth inhibition when compared to NaCl-treated controls. Vancomycin-loaded tapes showed an additional twofold and eightfold increase of bacterial growth inhibition compared to vancomycin-loaded wires at day 1 and 2, respectively. Elution tests at day 1 revealed high levels of vancomycin concentration in vancomycin loaded tapes and wires. Additionally, the concentration in vancomycin loaded tapes was 14-fold higher when compared to vancomycin loaded wires. Incubating suture tapes and cerclage wires in vancomycin solution showed a good short-term antibacterial activity compared to controls. Considering the ease of vancomycin application on suture tapes or wires, our method could represent an attractive therapeutic strategy in biofilm prevention in orthopedic surgery.}, language = {en} } @article{AltmannMutWolfetal.2021, author = {Altmann, Stephan and Mut, J{\"u}rgen and Wolf, Natalia and Meißner-Weigl, Jutta and Rudert, Maximilian and Jakob, Franz and Gutmann, Marcus and L{\"u}hmann, Tessa and Seibel, J{\"u}rgen and Ebert, Regina}, title = {Metabolic glycoengineering in hMSC-TERT as a model for skeletal precursors by using modified azide/alkyne monosaccharides}, series = {International Journal of Molecular Sciences}, volume = {22}, journal = {International Journal of Molecular Sciences}, number = {6}, issn = {1422-0067}, doi = {10.3390/ijms22062820}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-259247}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Metabolic glycoengineering enables a directed modification of cell surfaces by introducing target molecules to surface proteins displaying new features. Biochemical pathways involving glycans differ in dependence on the cell type; therefore, this technique should be tailored for the best results. We characterized metabolic glycoengineering in telomerase-immortalized human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC-TERT) as a model for primary hMSC, to investigate its applicability in TERT-modified cell lines. The metabolic incorporation of N-azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac\(_4\)ManNAz) and N-alkyneacetylmannosamine (Ac\(_4\)ManNAl) into the glycocalyx as a first step in the glycoengineering process revealed no adverse effects on cell viability or gene expression, and the in vitro multipotency (osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential) was maintained under these adapted culture conditions. In the second step, glycoengineered cells were modified with fluorescent dyes using Cu-mediated click chemistry. In these analyses, the two mannose derivatives showed superior incorporation efficiencies compared to glucose and galactose isomers. In time-dependent experiments, the incorporation of Ac\(_4\)ManNAz was detectable for up to six days while Ac\(_4\)ManNAl-derived metabolites were absent after two days. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the successful metabolic glycoengineering of immortalized hMSC resulting in transient cell surface modifications, and thus present a useful model to address different scientific questions regarding glycosylation processes in skeletal precursors.}, language = {en} } @article{ReichelHerzelTabbakhetal.2021, author = {Reichel, Thomas and Herz, Stefan and el Tabbakh, Mohammed and Bley, Thorsten Alexander and Plumhoff, Piet and Rueckl, Kilian}, title = {Less than 9.5-mm coracohumeral distance on axial magnetic resonance imaging scans predicts for subscapularis tear}, series = {JSES International}, volume = {5}, journal = {JSES International}, number = {3}, doi = {10.1016/j.jseint.2021.01.014}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-259118}, pages = {424-429}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Background Diagnosis of subscapularis (SSC) tendon lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be challenging. A small coracohumeral distance (CHD) has been associated with SSC tears. This study was designed to define a specific threshold value for CHD to predict SSC tears on axial MRI scans. Methods This retrospective study included 172 shoulders of 168 patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tear or glenohumeral instability. Diagnostic arthroscopy confirmed an SSC tear in 62 cases (36.0\%, test group a), rotator cuff tear tears other than SSC in 71 cases (41.3\%, control group b) and glenohumeral instability without any rotator cuff tear in 39 cases (22.7\%, zero-sample group c). All patients had a preoperative MRI of the shoulder (1.5T or 3T). Minimum CHD was measured on axial fat-suppressed proton density-, T2-, or T1-weigthed sequences. Receiver operating characteristics analysis was used to determine the threshold value for CHD, and sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results CHD measurement had a good interobserver reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient 0.799). Mean CHD was highly significantly (P < .001) less for test group a (mean 7.3 mm, standard deviation ± 2.2) compared with control group b (mean 11.1 mm, standard deviation ± 2.3) or zero-sample group c (mean 13.6 mm, standard deviation ± 2.9). A threshold value of CHD <9.5 mm had a sensitivity of 83.6\% and a specificity of 83.9\% to predict SSC tears.

The physiological process of postoperative wound healing could potentially support the proliferation of remaining tumor cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of wound fluid (WF) on the cell cycle distribution and a potential induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). To verify this hypothesis, we incubated FaDu and HLaC78 cells with postoperative WF from patients after neck dissection. Cell viability in dependence of WF concentration and cisplatin was measured by flow cytometry. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry and EMT-marker expression by rtPCR. WF showed high concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, CCL2, MCP-1, EGF, angiogenin, and leptin. The cultivation of tumor cells with WF resulted in a significant increase in cell proliferation without affecting the cell cycle. In addition, there was a significant enhancement of the mesenchymal markers Snail 2 and vimentin, while the expression of the epithelial marker E-cadherin was significantly decreased. After cisplatin treatment, tumor cells incubated with WF showed a significantly higher resistance compared with the control group. The effect of cisplatin-resistance was dependent on the WF concentration. In summary, proinflammatory cytokines are predominantly found in WF. Furthermore, the results suggest that EMT can be induced by WF, which could be a possible mechanism for cisplatin resistance.}, language = {en} }
