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.

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. In contrast, the diagnostic value of interstage aspiration does not qualify for its routine use.

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.

The aim of this scoping review is to systematically evaluate and combine the available evidence about vitamin D and C and BMES. The analysis of the manuscripts was based on country of origin, number of patients, gender, study type, epidemiology, localization, bone mineral density measurements, vitamin status and therapy. Sixty studies were included. The overall number of patients was 823 with a male-to-female ratio of 1.55:1 and a mean age of 40.9 years. Studies were very heterogeneous and of diverging scientific scope with a weak level of evidence. The hip was the most affected joint, followed by the foot and ankle and the knee; 18.3% of patients suffered from multifocal BMES. Sixteen studies reported on vitamin D levels, resulting in a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (47%) and insufficiency (17.9%) among BMES patients. Three BME manuscripts were associated with vitamin C deficiency. Current therapeutic interventions include conservative measures (mainly unloading), various osteoactive drugs and iloprost. In summary, data about BMES in association with vitamin status is limited. A causal relationship between vitamin D or vitamin C status, osteopenia, and BMES cannot be determined from the existing literature.

A1 - Meybohm, Patrick A1 - Wurmb, Thomas T1 - Simultaneous treatment of trauma patients in a dual room trauma suite with integrated movable sliding gantry CT system: an observational study JF - Scientific Reports N2 - The trauma center of the University Hospital Wuerzburg has developed an advanced trauma pathway based on a dual-room trauma suite with an integrated movable sliding gantry CT-system. 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). There were no significant differences in the clinical treatment (emergency procedures, vasopressor and coagulant therapy, and transfusion of red blood cells). tCT was 6 (4–10) minutes (median and IQR) in group 1 and 8 (5–15.5) minutes in group 2 (p = 0.280). tES was 90 (78–106) minutes in group 1 and 99 (97–108) minutes in group 2 (p = 0.081). The simultaneous treatment of two trauma patients in a dual-room trauma suite with an integrated movable sliding gantry CT-system requires a medical, organizational, and technical concept adapted to this special setting. Despite the oftentimes serious and life-threatening injuries, optimal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be guaranteed for two simultaneous trauma patients at an individual medical level in consistent quality.

JF - Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics N2 - Purpose The AMADEUS (Area Measurement And DEpth and Underlying Structures) scoring and grading system has been proposed for the MRI based evaluation of untreated focal chondral defects around the knee. 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 suggests that chondral defect grading by means of the MRI based AMADEUS is well capable of influencing and guiding treatment decisions. Interrater reliability shows overall good agreement.

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). Compliance with the intervention programme did not significantly affect overuse shoulder injury (p=0.893). Using generalised estimating equations for WOSI, the estimated mean for the intervention group was 44.6 points (95% CI 42.0 to 47.1) and 47.6 points for the control group (95% CI 44.9 to 50.3, p=0.111). Conclusions A multicomponent exercise programme using rubber bands and stretching did not significantly reduce the prevalence or symptoms of overuse throwing shoulder injury in handball athletes of both sexes.

Fokus dieser Disseration war die Vergleichende in vitro-Charakterisierung des Differenzierungspotentials von hMSCs von sechs verschiedenen Geweben des Kniegelenkes bei Patientinnen mit Gonarthrose um zu erforschen, welches Gewebe das meiste Potential für eine mögliche Extraktion von hMSCs birgt. Hierfür wurden Zellen aus der Spongiose, dem Knorpelgewebe, des vorderen Kreuzbandes, der Menisken, der Synovialmebran sowie des Hoffa’schen Fettkörpers von fünf verschiedenen Spenderinnen isoliert und apidogen, osteogen sowie chondrogen differenziert sowie anschließend histologisch, immunhistochemisch und molekularbiologisch untersucht und die Ergebnisse miteinander verglichen. Hierbei wurde die zunächst der Nachweis erbracht, dass es sich bei allen Zellen um hMSCs handelt sowie anschließend gezeigt, dass alle Zellen ein multipotentes Differenzierungspotential aufweisen. Während kein statistisch relevanter Nachweis erbracht werden konnte, dass eine Zellquelle hierbei überlegen ist, scheinen die Zellen der Spongiosa sowie der Synovialmembran das vielversprechendste Potential zu bieten und eigenen sich somit als Quelle für weitere Forschung. N2 - Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are a subject of interest in tissue engineering research and are often investigated in regard to cartialage regerenation. However no superior potential cell source has been found up to now. The aim of this study was to characterise the in vitro differentiation potential of hMSCs of six different tissues of the knee derived from patients with gonarthrosis and therefore to investigate which cell origin is showing the highest extraction potential. From five different female patients the cells of the bone marrow, the cartialage, the anterior cruciate ligament, the menisci, the synovial membrane and the infrapatellar fatty body were isolated and investigated using histological, immunhistochemical and molecular biological methods. Afterwards those findings were compared for further investigation. The study proved that all isolated cells were hMSCs and that all cells showed multipotent differentiation potential. While no statistically relevant superiority of either cell line could be proven it seemed that the cells extracted from the bone marrow and the synovial membrane did show the highest potential of being a promising source for further investigations.

BML are associated with repair mechanisms subsequent to various clinical conditions associated with inflammatory and non‐inflammatory injury to the bone. There is no approved treatment for this condition. Bisphosphonates are known to improve bone stability in osteoporosis and other bone disorders and have been used off‐label to treat BML. A randomized, triple‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase III trial was conducted to assess efficacy and safety of single‐dose zoledronic acid (ZOL) 5 mg iv with vitamin D 1000 IU/d as opposed to placebo with vitamin D 1000 IU/d in 48 patients (randomized 2:1) with BML. Primary efficacy endpoint was reduction of edema volume 6 weeks after treatment as assessed by MRI. After treatment, mean BML volume decreased by 64.53% (±41.92%) in patients receiving zoledronic acid and increased by 14.43% (±150.46%) in the placebo group (p = 0.007). A decrease in BML volume was observed in 76.5% of patients receiving ZOL and in 50% of the patients receiving placebo. Pain level (visual analogue scale [VAS]) and all categories of the pain disability index (PDI) improved with ZOL versus placebo after 6 weeks but reconciled after 6 additional weeks of follow‐up. Six serious adverse events occurred in 5 patients, none of which were classified as related to the study drug. No cases of osteonecrosis or fractures occurred. Therefore, single‐dose zoledronic acid 5 mg iv together with vitamin D may enhance resolution of bone marrow lesions over 6 weeks along with reduction of pain compared with vitamin D supplementation only.

Individual predictor-adjusted risks can be used to define preoperative treatment thresholds. Methods: We performed this retrospective monocentric study in orthopaedic patients who underwent primary total knee or hip arthroplasty. 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. Predictor-adjusted risks of blood transfusions and acute postoperative complications were calculated for Hb and eGFR. Hb = 12.5 g/dL, BMI = 17.6 kg/m\(^2\), and eGFR = 54 min/mL were associated, respectively, with a 10% risk of a blood transfusion, eGFR = 59 mL/min was associated with a 10% risk of a complication. Conclusion: The individual risks for blood transfusions and acute postoperative complications are strongly increased in patients with a low preoperative Hb, low BMI or low eGFR. We recommend aiming at a preoperative Hb ≥ 13g/dL, an eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min and to avoid a low BMI. Future studies must show if a preoperative increase of eGFR and BMI is feasible and truly beneficial.

Insbesondere für sehr aktive und junge Patienten werden dem OE Vorteile bei Stabilität und Materialverschleiß zugesprochen. Heterogene Studienergebnisse und eine unzureichende Datenlage hinsichtlich der Langzeitrisiken der Metall-auf-Metall-Gleitpaarung limitieren derzeit den Einsatz des OE. Diese Studie untersucht, ob Patienten nach OE tatsächlich aktiver sind. Methodik: Es handelt sich um eine retrospektive Arbeit mit prospektiver Datenerhebung im Rahmen eines Telefoninterviews. 40 OEs wurden mit 40 TEPs basierend auf präoperativem University of California Arthroplasty Score (UCLA), BMI, Alter zum Zeitpunkt der Operation und Alter bei Follow-up abgeglichen. Die durchschnittliche Nachuntersuchungsperiode war 56 Monate (24–87 Monate). Ergebnisse: OE Patienten zeigten signifikant höhere Werte im High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) (14.9 vs. 12.9, p < 0.001) und Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS) (15.9 vs. 14.1, p = 0.001) und erreichten signifikant höhere Werte im Hip Cycle Score (HCS) (44.7 vs. 35.7 p = 0.037) und Impact Score (IS) (40.9 vs. 29.6, p = 0.002) als Patienten nach TEP.

N2 - Background: Hip resurfacing (HR) is an alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in very active, young male patients. However, there is no study in the literature that has proven its benefits for high-impact sport over standard primary THA. The aim of the current study was to investigate the return to sport and function level of male patients after THA vs. HR. Materials and methods: This retrospective study with a prospective Follow-up is based on a telephone questionnaire for general health and sports activities. 40 HRs were matched with 40 THAs based on preoperative University of California Arthroplasty Score (UCLA), BMI, age at time of surgery and age at follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 56 months (range 24–87 months). Results: HR patients showed a significantly higher High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) (14.9 vs. 12.9, p < 0.001) and Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS) (15.9 vs. 14.1, p = 0.001) and reached significantly higher values in the Hip Cycle Score (HCS) (44.7 vs. 35.7 p = 0.037) and Impact Score (IS) (40.9 vs. 29.6, p = 0.002) than THA patients. No significant differences were found in the HOOS function section (91.4 vs. 90.3, p = 0.803) and the Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)-11 (0.6 vs. 0.9 p = 0.169). Patients with HR had a slightly higher modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) (88,8 vs. 86,6, p = 0.015) Conclusion: The current study suggests that young male patients are able to engage in higher activity levels after HR compared to standard THA.

Cell-based approaches have emerged as a promising alternative in the treatment of cartilage defects and osteoarthritis. Due to their easy accessibility, abundancy, and chondrogenic potential mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) offer an attractive cell source. MSCs are often combined with natural or synthetic hydrogels providing tunable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and enhanced cell functionality. In this review, we focused on the different advantages and disadvantages of various natural, synthetic, and modified hydrogels. We examined the different combinations of MSC-subpopulations and hydrogels used for cartilage engineering in preclinical and clinical studies and reviewed the effects of added growth factors or gene transfer on chondrogenesis in MSC-laden hydrogels. 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.

A1 - Uder, Michael A1 - Kemmler, Wolfgang T1 - Exercise effects on Bone Mineral Density in men JF - Nutrients N2 - 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. However, we are currently unable to give even rough exercise recommendations for male cohorts.

Final results of the randomized controlled FrOST study JF - Nutrients N2 - The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of high intensity dynamic resistance exercise (HIT-DRT) and whey protein supplementation (WPS) on bone mineral density (BMD) and sarcopenia parameters in osteosarcopenic men. Men ≥ 72 years with osteosarcopenia (n = 43) were randomly assigned to a HIT-RT (HIT-RT: n = 21) or a non-training control group (n = 22). Supervised HIT-RT twice/week was applied for 18 months, while the control group maintained their habitual lifestyle. Supplying WPS, total protein intake amounted to 1.5–1.6 (HIT-RT) and 1.2 g/kg/body mass/d (control). Both groups were supplied with calcium and vitamin D. Primary study outcomes were BMD and the sarcopenia Z-score. After adjusting for multiplicity, we observed significant positive effects for sarcopenia Z-score (standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.40), BMD at lumbar spine (SMD: 0.72) and total hip (SMD: 0.72). In detail, effect sizes for skeletal muscle mass changes were very pronounced (1.97, p < 0.001), while effects for functional sarcopenia parameters were moderate (0.87, p = 0.008; handgrip strength) or low (0.39, p = 0.209; gait velocity). Apart from one man who reported short periods of temporary worsening of existing joint pain, no HIT-RT/WPS-related adverse effects or injuries were reported. We consider HIT-RT supported by whey protein supplementation as a feasible, attractive, safe and highly effective option to fight osteosarcopenia in older 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. Joint aspiration presents an important pillar to diagnose PSI.

T1 - Restoring the patient's pre-arthritic posterior slope is the correct target for maximizing internal tibial rotation when implanting a PCL retaining TKA with calipered kinematic alignment JF - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - Introduction: The calipered kinematically-aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) strives to restore the patient's individual pre-arthritic (i.e., native) posterior tibial slope when retaining the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). 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.

Während eine Vielzahl von knorpelchirurgischen Techniken am Kniegelenk koexistieren, bleibt die Selektion des am besten geeigneten Therapieverfahrens eine zentrale Herausforderung des orthopädischen Chirurgen. Hierzu bieten in Zeiten evidenzbasierter Medizin medizinische Register die Möglichkeit, klinische Behandlungsdaten systematisch in einem breiten Patientenkollektiv zu erfassen, die klinische Versorgungsrealität adäquat abzubilden sowie neue Behandlungsstrategien und Hypothesen zu generieren. Das Knorpelregister der DGOU bietet als webbasierte Registerform eine besonders moderne, effiziente und unbürokratische Form der Patientennachverfolgung über subjektiv bewertete und validierte Funktionsscores. Für das gesamte Registerkollektiv von 100 Patienten an der Orthopädischen Klinik-König-Ludwig Haus ergaben sich bereits sechs Monate nach dem knorpelchirurgischen Eingriff signifikant höhere Funktionsscores im IKDC und KOOS, welche sich auch im mittelfristigen Verlauf von zwölf Monaten noch signifikant erhöht gegenüber ihren präoperativen Werten zeigten. Die mediale Femurkondyle und knorpelige Patellarückfläche waren im Registerkollektiv am häufigsten von Defekten betroffen. Meist handelte es sich hierbei um drittgradige Defekte nach ICRS degenerativer Genese. Während das mechanische Débridement bei großflächigem, arthrotischem Gelenkknorpelverschleiß keine suffiziente Therapieoption bietet, ist zum Nutzen und Effektivität des Débridements bei fokalen, umschriebenen Gelenkknorpeldefekten bisher nur wenig bekannt. Im Registerkollektiv zeigte sich für das isoliert mechanische Débridement von Gelenkknorpeldefekten eine signifikante Verbesserung der subjektiven Funktionsscores. Im Falle begleitend durchgeführter meniskuschirurgischer Eingriffe zeigt sich die Datenlage deutlich heterogener und bietet Anlass für weiteren wissenschaftlichen Diskurs. N2 - The very limited ability for intrinsic regeneration of the hyaline cartilage poses an enormous challenge even in the days of modern medicine. While there exists a plethora of surgical techniques for cartilage repair, the orthopedic surgeon is regularly faced with the challenge of selecting the most appropriate therapeutic modality. Therefore, in times of evidence-based medicine, medical registries provide the ability of systematic patient evaluation, thereby reflecting data of real word clinical care in the routine setting, which allows for the development of new treatment strategies and hypotheses. The cartilage registry DGOU as a fully web based organized registry provides a particularly modern, efficient and unbureaucratic way for systematic patient evaluation and follow-up with the use of patient reported outcome measures. With respect to the included collective of a total of 100 patients at the orthopedic department König-Ludwig-Haus, significantly improved patient reported outcome measures of the KOOS and IKDC were observed as early as six months after the initial surgical procedure. Patient reported outcomes were still improved significantly in the mid-term follow-up of twelve months after the initial surgery. The medial femoral condyle and the patellar surface turned out to be the most frequent site of cartilage defects. Most of the times, cartilage defects were graded as grade III defects according to ICRS. Cartilage damage was mostly due to degenerative deterioration. According to the literature available, the usage of the mechanical debridement cannot be recommended for the extensive, arthritic type of cartilage defect. However, data on the efficiency of mechanical debridement for focal, non-arthritic cartilage defects are sparse and controversial. In this study, for the patients evaluated, a significant improvement of the patient reported outcome measures were observed after the mechanical debridement of focal cartilage defects. In the cases of concomitantly performed meniscal surgery, data turned out to be of a more heterogenous appearance which gives cause for further scientific discourse.

Langfristige Daten der Zugänge, insbesondere des minimalinvasiven anterolateralen Zuganges nach Watson-Jones (ALMI) sind in der Literatur bisher nur unzureichend vorhanden. Methodik: Ziel dieser Studie war es ein Kollektiv nach HTEP Implantation mit ALMI Zugang mit einem Kollektiv nach HTEP Implantation mit lateralem Zugang nach 10 Jahren hinsichtlich Gelenksfunktion, Muskelfunktion, Zufriedenheit und radiologischer Parameter zu vergleichen und etwaige Unterschiede in der Langzeitbilanz zu detektieren. Zwei Kollektive mit jeweils 29 operierten Hüftgelenken, Erstimplantation durch die gleichen Operateure in den Jahren 2005 bis 2008, wurden im Diakoniewerk München-Maxvorstadt nachuntersucht. Die dafür herangezogenen Parameter waren Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score-12, klinische Prüfung des Trendelenburg Zeichens, postoperative Röntgenbildgebung, Auftreten von Komplikationen und Narbenlänge. Ergebnisse & Schlussfolgerungen: Die beiden Kollektive zeigten in den Parametern Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score und klinische Prüfung des Trendelenburg Zeichens geringfügige Unterschiede zugunsten des ALMI Kollektivs, die jedoch nicht signifikant waren. Beide Kollektive erreichten in den beschriebenen Scores sehr gute bis exzellente Ergebnisse nach 10 Jahren. Das geringere Auftreten eines auffälligen Trendelenburg Zeichens im ALMI Kollektiv (13,8 vs. 6,9 %) gibt Hinweise auf eine verbesserte Funktion der Glutealmuskulatur durch die intraoperative Muskelschonung. Die beiden Zugänge zeigten in den radiologischen Parametern und der Komplikationsrate ebenbürtige Ergebnisse. Vermehrte Fehlpositionierungen wurden im ALMI Kollektiv nicht beobachtet. Unsere Beobachtungen passen zu den wenigen vorhandenen in der Literatur beschriebenen Ergebnissen von minimalinvasiven muskelschonenden Zugängen in der Langzeitbilanz. N2 - Minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approaches have been increasingly used for the implantation of total hip endoprostheses (HTEP) for about 15 years. Long-term data on the approaches, in particular the minimally invasive anterolateral approach according to Watson-Jones (ALMI), is currently absent in the literature. Methods: The aim of this study was to compare a collective after THA implantation with ALMI approach with a collective after THA implantation with lateral approach after 10 years regarding joint function, muscle function, satisfaction and radiological parameters and detect any differences in the long-term period. Two collectives, each with 29 operated hip joints, first implantation by the same surgeons in the years 2005 to 2008, were followed up in the Diakoniewerk Munich-Maxvorstadt. The parameters used were Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score-12, clinical assessment of the Trendelenburg sign, postoperative X-ray imaging, occurrence of complications and scar length. Results & Conclusions: The two collectives showed slight differences in favor of the ALMI collective in the parameters Harris Hip Score, Forgotten Joint Score and clinical examination of the Trendelenburg sign, but these were not significant. Both collectives achieved very good to excellent results in the described scores after 10 years. The lower occurrence of a noticeable Trendelenburg sign in the ALMI collective (13.8 vs. 6.9%) indicates an improved function of the gluteal muscles through intraoperative muscle protection. The two approaches showed equal results in the radiological parameters and the complication rate. Increased incorrect positioning was not observed in the ALMI collective. Our observations match the few existing results of minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approaches in the long-term period, which are described in the literature.

Aufgrund der demografischen Entwicklung und exzellenter postoperativer Ergebnisse wird die Anzahl dieser Eingriffe in den nächsten Jahren weiter zunehmen. So kommen Fast-Track-Programme mehr und mehr zur Anwendung, um die postoperative Mobilität der Patient/-innen zu verbessern und eine frühzeitige Entlassungsbereitschaft zu ermöglichen. Neben einer adäquaten Schmerztherapie nimmt dabei die frühe Mobilisierung eine zentrale Rolle ein, wobei ältere, adipöse und schwer erkrankte Patient/-innen häufig von einer Frühmobilisierung ausgeschlossen werden. So konnten die Ergebnisse dieser Studie die Effektivität einer Frühmobilisierung bestätigen und nachweisen, dass nach Implantation einer primären Hüfttotalendoprothese die bereits am Operationstag beginnende Mobilisierung mit einer signifikant kürzeren RFD verbunden war. Zudem waren die frühmobilisierten Patient/-innen in Bezug auf ihre Mobilität während der ersten fünf Tage nach der Operation im Vorteil. Eine vermehrte Schmerzsymptomatik, ein vermehrter Schmerzmittelkonsum oder eine höhere Komplikationsrate konnte während des stationären Aufenthaltes nicht dargestellt werden. Auch bei älteren, adipösen und schwer erkrankten Patient/-innen ließ sich nach sofortiger postoperativer Mobilisierung ein positiver Effekt nachweisen. Während die Komplikationsrate durch die bereits am Operationstag beginnende Mobilisierung verringert werden konnte, waren die RFD-Unterschiede in allen Untergruppen größer, so dass im Rahmen von Fast-Track-Programmen diese Patient/-innen aus o. g. Gründen nicht von einer frühen Mobilisierung ausgeschlossen werden sollten. N2 - Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most successful surgical procedures of recent decades. Due to demographic development and excellent postoperative outcomes, the number of these procedures will continue to increase in the coming years. Fast-track programs are increasingly being used to improve the postoperative mobility of patients and to enable an earlier readiness for discharge. In addition to adequate pain therapy, early mobilization plays a central role, whereby older, obese and seriously ill patients are often excluded from early mobilization. Thus, the results of this study were able to confirm the effectiveness of early mobilization and prove that after primary total hip arthroplasty, the mobilization that began on the day of surgery was associated with a significantly shorter RFD. In addition, the early mobilized patients had an advantage in terms of their mobility during the first five days after the surgery. In the fast-track-group, increased pain, increased use of painkillers or a higher complication rate could not be shown in the study. A positive effect could also be demonstrated in elderly, obese and seriously ill patients after immediate postoperative mobilization. While the complication rate could be reduced by the mobilization that began on the day of the operation, the RFD differences were greater in all subgroups, so that in the context of fast-track programs, these patients should not be excluded from early mobilization.

Für höhergradige HO mit klinischer Relevanz (schwere HO) wird eine Inzidenz von bis zu 20 % berichtet. Durch eine Prophylaxe, mit nichtsteroidalen Antirheumatika (NSAID) oder Strahlentherapie, kann die Inzidenz für schwere HO auf 1 bis 5 % gesenkt werden. Aus ökonomischen und logistischen Gesichtspunkten erfolgt bevorzugt eine Prophylaxe mit NSAID. Es liegen jedoch nur wenige Informationen zur Auswahl des Wirkstoffes, der Therapiedauer und der Dosierung vor. Methoden: Ziel war die Bewertung der Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit verschiedener Interventionen mit NSAID, für die primären Endpunkte schwere HO und unerwünschte Arzneimittelwirkung (UAW). Hierzu war eine systematische Übersichtsarbeit mit Netzwerk-Metaanalyse geplant. Es wurden 31 Studien mit 5128 Patienten eingeschlossen. Hieraus wurde ein Netzwerk aus 15 Knotenpunkten mit 44 Vergleichen erstellt. Die Studien wiesen eine ausgeprägte Heterogenität auf. Das Biasrisiko wurde häufig als unklar oder hoch bewertet. Eine Netzwerk-Metaanalyse konnte aufgrund der festgestellten Inkohärenz mit schwachen Verbindungen nicht durchgeführt werden. Es erfolgten ausschließlich Analysen der direkten Vergleiche. Ergebnisse: Die Analysen zeigten, dass bereits eine kurze Interventionsdauer (bis 7 Tage) mit geringer Tagesdosis einen signifikanten Effekt zur Prophylaxe vor schwerer HO, bei nicht erhöhtem Risiko für schwere UAW aufweist. Ein überlegener Wirkstoff konnte nicht identifiziert werden. Zusammenfassung: Die Evidenz dieser Dissertation wird als gering eingestuft, da aufgrund der spezifischeren Fragestellung als in den eingeschlossenen Studien, eine unzureichende Power bei den Analysen vorlag. Weitere qualitativ hochwertige RCT mit klinisch orientierter Fragestellung sind erforderlich, um die Frage nach einer optimalen Prophylaxe vor schwerer HO zu beantworten. N2 - Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a frequent complication after total hip arthroplasty by an incidence up to 90%. For high-grade HO with clinically relevance (severe HO) an incidence up to 20% has been reported. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) administration or radiotherapy reduce the risk of severe HO to 1 to 5%. By economic and organizational reasons, prophylaxis with NSAIDs will be preferred. However, information about drug selection, duration of intervention and dosage are rare. Methods: We planned a systematic review with network meta-analysis, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NSAID. Primary outcomes were severe HO and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). 31 studies with 5128 patients were included. We formed a network with 15 nodes based on 44 comparisons. The studies showed a pronounced heterogeneity and risk of bias was often rated as unclear or high. A network meta-analysis couldn´t be performed due to incoherence and weak connections. Only direct comparisons were analyzed. Results: An intervention with short duration (up to 7 days) and low daily dose is able to reduce the risk of severe HO significant, without an increased risk of severe ADRs. A superior drug couldn't be identified. Summary: The evidence for this dissertation is classified as low. The more specific questions of our analysis leads to an insufficient power our results than in the single studies. To answer the question of optimal prophylaxis against severe HO, further high-quality RCTs with clinically specificity questions are required.

Da es zusätzlich auch den Knochenabbau fördert, wirkt es als Tumorpromotor speziell für Knochentumore. Aufgrund der gesteigerten Expression in Tumorgewebe ist es potenzielles Ziel für molekulare Bildgebung. Mittels Expressionsanalysen auf mRNA- und Proteinebene sollte ein besseres Verständnis der Regulation von ANGPTL-4 erreicht werden. Dexamethason und die 9-cis-Retinsäure beeinflussten die Expression von ANGPTL-4 in MDA Zellen im positiven Sinne, wohingegen der Adenylatcyclase Aktivator Forskolin die Expression supprimierte. In MCF-7 Zellen wurde ANGPTL-4 durch den Phorbolester PMA und durch den Epidermalen Wachstumsfaktor (EGF) induziert. Eine Modulation von ANGPTL-4 könnte von klinischem Nutzen sein, speziell bei der Behandlung von Knochentumoren. Zusätzlich könnte die Trennschärfe von molekularen bildgebenden Verfahren gesteigert werden. N2 - Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL-4) is an adipokine localized in the extracellular matrix that regulates cell migration, cell invasion, and angioneogenesis in addition to its roles in lipid metabolism. Since it further promotes bone resorption, it acts as a tumor promoter specifically for bone tumors. Due to its increased expression in tumor tissue, it is a potential target for molecular imaging. Expression analyses at the mRNA and protein levels were used to gain a better understanding of the regulation of ANGPTL-4. Dexamethasone and 9-cis-retinoic acid positively affected ANGPTL-4 expression in MDA cells, whereas the adenylate cyclase activator forskolin suppressed expression. In MCF-7 cells, ANGPTL-4 was induced by the phorbol ester PMA and by epidermal growth factor (EGF). Modulation of ANGPTL-4 could be of clinical benefit, especially in the treatment of bone tumors. In addition, the discriminatory power of molecular imaging techniques could be increased.

Sichermann], Anna Ramona T1 - Versagensanalyse primärer Hüftendoprothesen T1 - Failure analysis of primary hip arthroplasty N2 - Einleitung: Der endoprothetische Hüftgelenksersatz zählt in Deutschland und weltweit zu den am häufigsten praktizierten operativen Eingriffen, wobei die Erfolgszahlen gleichzeitig sehr hoch sind bei stetiger Verbesserung der verwendeten alloplastischen Materialien und angewandten operativen Technik. Daher ist in Zukunft weiter mit einer steigenden Implantationszahl zu rechnen, was das Gesundheitssystem vor weitere sozioökonomische Herausforderungen stellt. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es bedeutsam, die Ursachen für das Versagen von Hüftendoprothesen weiter im Auge zu behalten und näher zu erläutern. Material und Methoden: Es handelt sich um eine retrospektive Datenanalyse. Eingeschlossen wurden Daten von 785 Patienten, davon 440 weiblich und 345 männlich, die im Zeitraum von 2007 bis 2016 im König-Ludwig-Haus, der orthopädischen Klinik der Universität Würzburg, eine primäre Revision ihrer Hüftendoprothese erhielten. Folgende Daten wurden erhoben: Patientenalter, Standzeit der Prothese, Indexdiagnose, Revisionsgrund, Prothesentyp und Art der Revision. Ergebnisse: Das mittlere Alter bei der Indexdiagnose der Gesamtpopulation betrug 62,2 Jahre, bei der Revision 69,5 Jahre. Es ergab sich eine durchschnittliche Standzeit der Prothese von 88,0 Monaten im Gesamtkollektiv. Die häufigste Indexdiagnose, die zur Implantation der Hüftprothese führte, war Coxarthrose mit 81,4%. Der häufigste Grund für ein Versagen der Prothese war mit 39,4% die Lockerung der Prothese. Zu 67,7% wurde die Prothese zementfrei implantiert. Am häufigsten wurde eine Revision am femoralen Prothesenanteil durchgeführt mit 34,1%. Zusammenfassung: Insgesamt ergab sich aus den Daten, dass die Prothesen eine vergleichbar gute Standzeit im internationalen Vergleich aufwiesen. Es zeigte sich, dass die meisten Versagensursachen bereits früh nach Implantation der primären Prothese in Erscheinung treten, jedoch die Prothesenlockerung als häufigster Grund erst später im Verlauf bedeutsam für die Revisionsendoprothetik wird. N2 - Introduction: Primary hip replacement is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in Germany and international and at once very successful while there is still a continuous improvement in used alloplastic materials and surgical techniques. Therefore, an increasing number of implantations is to be expected for future years, which poses further socio-economic challenges for our healthcare system. So, it is important to keep the reasons for failures of hip prosthesis in mind and explicate them more. Material and methods: Retrospective Data from 785 patients, 440 female and 345 male, were included, who were treated for primary revision surgery of their hip prosthesis during 2007 to 2016 at the orthopedic clinic König-Ludwig-Haus in Würzburg. The following data were collected: patients age, time interval to revision, index diagnosis, reason for revision, type of prosthesis and type of revision. Results: The mean age at the index surgery of the total population was 62.2 years, at revision 69.5 years. The overall time interval to revision was at 88.0 months in the whole population. The most common index diagnosis leading to primary hip arthroplasty was osteoarthritis of the hip with 81.4%. The most common reason for failure of the prosthesis was loosening of the implant with 39.4%. 67.7% of the prosthesis were implanted as cementless type. The most common revision procedure was performed on the femoral implant part with 34.1% Summary: Overall, the data showed that the survival of the implants in comparison to other international studies was similar. It turned out that most causes of failure appeared early after implantation of the primary prosthesis but loosening as the most common reason became relevant after a longer period since primary implantation.

T1 - An insert with less than spherical medial conformity causes a loss of passive internal rotation after calipered kinematically aligned TKA JF - Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery N2 - Introduction In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the level of conformity, a medial stabilized (MS) implant, needs to restore native (i.e., healthy) knee kinematics without over-tensioning the flexion space when the surgeon chooses to retain the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is unknown. Whether an insert with a medial ball-in-socket conformity and lateral flat surface like the native knee or a less than spherical medial conformity restores higher and closer to native internal tibial rotation without anterior lift-off, an over-tension indicator, when implanted with calipered kinematic alignment (KA), is unknown. 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. The surgeon recorded the incidence of anterior lift-off of the insert. Results The insert with the medial ball-in-socket and lateral flat surface restored more internal tibial rotation than the one with less than spherical medial conformity, with mean values of 19° vs. 17° from extension to 90° flexion (p < 0.01), and 23° vs. 20°-120° flexion (p < 0.002), respectively. There was no anterior lift-off of the insert at 90° and 120° flexion. Conclusion An MS insert with a medial ball-in-socket and lateral flat surface that matches the native knee's spherical conformity restores native tibial internal rotation when implanted with calipered KA and PCL retention without over-tensioning the flexion space.

Hierzu wurden 655 Patienten (w: 336, m: 319) eingeschlossen (OP- Zeitraum von 2012–2014). Im Mittel wurde der globale Offset (GO) um -1,14mm verringert (Vergrößerung des femoralen Offset (FO) durch den Eingriff um +4,61 mm und Verminderung des acetabulären Offsets (AO) um -5,74 mm). Bei den Frauen zeigte sich eine Vergrößerung des GO um +0,27 mm (AO -5,08 mm und FO +5,37 mm), bei den Männer eine Verkleinerung des GO um -2,62 mm (AO -6,43 mm und FO 3,81 mm). In der Gesamtgruppe zeigten die Parameter der horizontalen Achse AO und FO keine Korrelationen zum Outcome. Jedoch konnte für den GO eine Korrelation zum EuroQol nachgewiesen werden (r=0,097; p<0,05) nachgewiesen werden. In der Gruppe der Frauen konnte eine positive Korrelation zwischen dem AO und dem WOMAC-Gesamtscore (r= 0,132; p<0,05) sowie den Subscores Schmerz (r=0,113; p<0,05) und Funktion (r=0,125; p<0,05) nachgewiesen werden. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen den Vorteil einer Medialisierung der Pfanne. Bei der Analyse der Parameter der vertikale Achse (vertikaler Offset (VO), Hüftlänge (HL), Hip Center Height (HCH)) ergab sich in der Gesamtgruppe eine negative Korrelation des VO mit den WOMAC-Gesamtscore-Werten (r=-0,109; p<0,01) und den Werten des Subscores WOMAC-Schwierigkeit (r=0,106; p<0,01). Bei der HCH zeigte sich eine schwach positive Korrelation mit dem Subscore WOMAC-Schwierigkeit (r=0,081; p<0,05) und mit dem EurQol (r=0,0117; p<0,01). In der Subgruppe der Frauen ergaben sich bei der HCH eine Korrelation mit dem WOMAC-Gesamtscore (r=0,109; p<0,05) und dem Subscore WOMAC-Funktion (r=0,125; p<0,05). Die HL korrelierte in der Gruppe der Männer negativ mit dem WOMAC-Steifheit (r= -0,137; p<0,05). Die Daten bezüglich der vertikalen Achse deuten darauf hin, dass eine Vergrößerung des vertikalen Offsets sinnvoll zu sein scheint. Bezüglich der diagonalen Achse konnte für den diagonalen Offset (def. als Vektor von GO und BL) ein positiver Zusammenhang mit dem EuroQol (r=0,110; p<0,01) nachgewiesen werden. N2 - The study investigates the relationship between the change in geometric parameters (measured on radiographs) of the hip joint due to arthroplasty (primary cementless hip TEP) and the patient-reported outcome (EuroQol and WOMAC scores pre- and one year post-operatively). For this purpose, 655 patients (w: 336, m: 319) were included (surgical period 2012-2014). On average, the global offset (GO) was reduced by -1.14 mm (increase of the femoral offset (FO) by +4.61 mm and reduction of the acetabular offset (AO) by -5.74 mm). In women, the GO increased by +0.27 mm (AO -5.08 mm and FO +5.37 mm), and in men, the GO decreased by -2.62 mm (AO -6.43 mm and FO 3.81 mm). In the overall group, the parameters of the horizontal axis AO and FO showed no correlation with the outcome. However, a correlation with EuroQol could be demonstrated for GO (r=0.097; p<0.05). In the women's group, a positive correlation between the AO and the WOMAC total score (r=0.132; p<0.05) and the pain (r=0.113; p<0.05) and function (r=0.125; p<0.05) subscores was demonstrated. The results confirm the advantage of medialising the cup. Analysis of the vertical axis parameters (vertical offset (VO), hip length (HL), hip centre height (HCH)) revealed a negative correlation of VO with WOMAC total score values (r=-0.109; p<0.01) and WOMAC difficulty subscore values (r=0.106; p<0.01) in the total group. In HCH, there was a weak positive correlation with the WOMAC difficulty subscore (r=0.081; p<0.05) and with EurQol (r=0.0117; p<0.01). In the female subgroup, HCH correlated with the WOMAC total score (r=0.109; p<0.05) and the WOMAC function subscore (r=0.125; p<0.05). HL correlated negatively with WOMAC stiffness in the male group (r= -0.137; p<0.05). The data regarding the vertical axis indicate that an increase of the vertical offset seems to be useful. With regard to the diagonal axis, a positive correlation with EuroQol (r=0.110; p<0.01) could be demonstrated for the diagonal offset (def. as vector of GO and BL).

Eine Beckendiskontinuität (PD „pelvic discontinuity“) stellt dabei eines der herausforderndsten Szenarien dar. Wir berichten über unsere klinischen Ergebnisse mit einer asymmetrischen Hüftpfannenkomponente zur Behandlung der PD. Das Implantat ist mit einer extramedullären anatomisch geformten Lasche ausgestattet, die an der glutealen Oberfläche des Iliums fixiert wird. Eine zusätzliche Fixierung kann durch die Implantation eines intramedullären iliakalen Darmbeinzapfens erfolgen. MATERIAL UND METHODEN: In einer monozentrischen retrospektiven Kohortenstudie analysierten wir prospektiv erhobene Daten von 49 Pat. (35 weiblich, 14 männlich) mit unilateraler periprothetischer Beckendiskontinuität, 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). Sämtliche in der Folge aufgetretenen Komplikationen wurden dokumentiert und die radiologischen und funktionellen Ergebnisse (anhand des Harris Hip Scores (HHS) sowie der visuellen Analogskala für Schmerz (VAS)) wurden ausgewertet. ERGEBNISSE: Mittels Kaplan-Meier-Analyse konnte für unsere Studiengruppe ein 5-Jahres-Implantatüberleben von 91% (Konfidenzintervall 77%-96%) festgestellt werden). Der mittlere HHS verbesserte sich in unserem Patient*innenkollektiv von 41 präoperativ auf 79 bei der letzten Nachuntersuchung (p< .001); die VAS verbesserte sich hochsignifikant von einem Mittelwert von sechs präoperativ auf postoperativ eins (p< .001). Die Gesamtrevisionsrate betrug 16% (n=8). Zwei der Pat. benötigten 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 Spülung sowie dem Austausch der mobilen Teile behandelt. Von sechs Pat. (12%), die eine Hüftluxation erlitten, war bei zweien die Implantation einer Dual-Mobility-Acetabulumkomponente erforderlich. DISKUSSION: Wir konnten für die Implantation des hier beschriebenen Systems gute Ergebnisse für einen mittelfristigen Nachuntersuchungszeitraum nachweisen. In Zukunft könnte diese Technik die bereits etablierten Vorgehensweisen zur Behandlung der chronischen Beckendiskontinuität ergänzen und auch bei Pat. mit akut auftretender Diskontinuität oder periprothetischer Acetabulumfraktur eingesetzt werden. N2 - INTRODUCTION: Parallel to the increase in revision hip procedures surgeons face more and more complex anatomical challenges with pelvic discontinuity (PD) being one of the worst-case scenarios. Here we report on our clinical results using an asymmetric acetabular component for the treatment of PD. The implant is armed in a monoblock fashion with an extramedullary iliac flange and provides the possibility to augment it with an intramedullary iliac press-fit stem. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a single-center retrospective cohort study we analyzed prospectively collected data of 49 patients (35 female, 14 male) suffering from unilateral periprosthetic PD treated with an asymmetric acetabular component between 2009 and 2017. The mean follow-up was 71 months (21-114). Complications were documented and radiographic and functional outcomes were assessed. RESULTS: Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a 5-year implant survival of 91% (confidence interval 77%-96%). The 5-year survival with revision for any cause was 87% (CI 74%-94%). The overall revision rate was 16% (n � 8). Two patients required acetabular component revision due to aseptic loosening. Four patients (8%) suffered from periprosthetic infection: one patient was treated with a 2-stage revision, and another one with resection arthroplasty. The other 2 patients were treated with debridement, irrigation, and exchange of the mobile parts. Of 6 patients (12%) suffering from hip dislocation, 2 required implantation of a dual mobility acetabular component. The mean Harris Hip Score improved from 41 preoperatively to 79 at the latest follow-up (P < .001). DISCUSSION: Our findings demonstrate that an asymmetric acetabular component with extramedullary and optional intramedullary iliac fixation is a reliable and safe treatment method for periprosthetic PD resulting in good clinical and radiographic mid-term results.

Als Zugangsweg wurde der minimal-invasive, direkt anteriore Zugang in Einzelschnitttechnik gewählt (MIS-DAA). Die Patientin wurden bis zwölf Monate nach Operation beobachtet. Methoden: Es wurden die Daten von 73 Probanden mittels der folgenden Fragebogen ausgewertet: Harris Hip Score (HHS), eXtra Short Musculoskeletal Functional Assessment questionnaire (XSFMA), Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey und Patient Health Questionaire 9 „deutsch“ (PHQ-9 D). Zur Schmerzmessung kam eine visuelle Analogskala (VAS von 0-4) zum Einsatz. Daneben wurde die Aktivität mit Hilfe des Schrittzählers Stepwatch™ Activity Monitor (SAM) und eines 25m Gehtests auf Zeit (T25-FW) erfasst. Während der gesamten Aufzeichnung wurden auch Komplikationen erfasst. Ergebnisse: Zwölf Monate nach der Operation verbesserten sich die HHS-Werte signifikant von 55,2 präoperativ auf 92,4 (Werte 0 – 100). Der FSFMA Funktionsscore fiel ebenfalls signifikant von 39,4 auf 10,3 und der Beeintrachtigungsscore von 47,0 auf 15,8. Der Score für die Physis (PCS) stieg im SF 36 signifikant von 27,5 präoperativ auf 47,5 nach zwölf Monaten. Der Score für mentale Gesundheit (MCS) fiel dagegen sogar leicht von 57,6 auf 55,0. Dagegen fiel die Prävalenz der mittels PHQ-9 D gemessenen Somatisierungsstörungen von elf auf einen Fall. Die Schmerzreduktion durch die Operation zeigte sich durch einen Rückgang auf der VAS von 2,41 auf 0,35 zwölf Monate postoperativ. Die durchschnittlich täglich absolvierten Lastwechsel nahmen laut Schrittzählermessung signifikant von 5113 präoperativ auf 6402 zu. Außerdem stieg die Gehgeschwindigkeit im T25-FW signifikant von 22,06 s (= 1,13 m/s) auf 18,14 s (= 1,38 m/s). Es wurden keine schwerwiegenden Komplikationen, wie z.B. Transplantatlockerungen, festgestellt. Zusammenfassung: In der Zusammenschau der Ergebnisse zeigt sich ein Jahr nach MIS-DAA-THA, dass die Patienten eine signifikant bessere Funktion, Aktivität und weniger Schmerzen aufweisen. Der MIS-DA-Zugang ist sicher und weist keine erhöhte Komplikationsrate auf. N2 - Background: The presented data show the clinical outcome of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a minimally invasive single-incision direct anterior approach (MIS-DAA) up to twelve months after surgery. Methods: The data of 73 arthroplasties were evaluated using the following questionaires: Harris Hip Score (HHS), extra short musculoskeletal functional assessment questionnaire (XSFMA), Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey and the Patient Health Questionaire 9 „german“ (PHQ-9 D). A visual analogue scale (VAS from 0-4) was used zu measure pain. Additionally all patients activity was monitored utilizing a Stepwatch™ Activity Monitor (SAM), and a timed 25 m foot walk (T25-FW). Also complications were monitored for the entire 12 months. Results: Twelve months after surgery the HHS Score increased significantly from 55.2 preoperatively to 92.4 (out of 100). XSFMA functional index scores droped from 39.4 to 10.3 while the bother went down form 47.0 to a score of 15.8. Both scores showing a significant improvement. The SF-36 physical component score (PCS) was 27.5 ahead of the operation and did rise significantly up to 47.5 twelve months later, while the mental component score (MCS) dropped slightly, but significantly from 57,6 to 55.0. In opposition the PHQ-9 D showed a decline oft he prevalence of somatic disorders from elven cases pre-OP to one afterwards. Pain was significantly reduced by the operation, showing values dropping from 2.41 to 0.35 on a visual analogue scale (VAS).The mean cycles per day rose significantly up to twelve months after arthroplasty from 5113 of 6402 cycles per day. Furthermore, the obtained outcome for the T25-FW showed a significant increase in walking speed from 22.06 s (=1.13m/s) to 18.14 s (= 1.38 m/s). The were no severe complications, e.g. loosening of the implant, to be found. Conclusion: In summary the outcomes show that 1 year after MIS-DAA-THA patients show a significantly better function, activity and reduction of pain. The MIS-DAA is safe and shows no increased signs of complications.

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. Lessons from unloading, microgravity, and disuse teach us that gratuitous tissue is removed or reorganized while immobility and inflammation trigger muscle and bone marrow fatty infiltration and propagate degenerative diseases such as sarcopenia and osteoporosis. Ongoing research will certainly find new therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment.

Sie gehen oft mit einer Verletzung des medialen patellofemoralen Ligaments (MPFL) einher, was zu rezidivierenden Patellaluxationen und patellofemoraler Instabilität führen kann. Ein möglicher Therapieansatz ist die Rekonstruktion des MPFL. Zahlreiche Operationstechniken sind hierzu in der Literatur beschrieben, darunter Fixationen mit Interferenzschrauben, Bohrkanälen, Nahtankern oder Nahtfixationen am Knochen oder Weichgewebe. Sie werden meist mit einem autologen Sehnentransplantats durchgeführt und unterscheiden sich hauptsächlich 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 fünf 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 primäre Ausrissfestigkeit wie das native MPFL zeigt. 60 Patellae und Extensorensehnen wurden aus porcinen Hinterläufen 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 durchgeführt (Gruppe 3: resorbierbarer Faden der Stärke USP 0, Gruppe 4: nicht-resorbierbarer Faden der Stärke USP 3). In Gruppe 5 erfolgte die patellare Fixation mittels V-förmigen 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. Zunächst erfolgte eine Präkonditionierung 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 höchsten maximalen Ausrisskräfte 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). Während der zyklischen Belastung war die Elongation der Präparate in Gruppe 3 signifikant höher im Vergleich zu den anderen Gruppen (5,3 ± 1 mm, p < 0,05). Alle Gruppen wiesen ähnliche Steifigkeiten wie das native Gewebe vor (p > 0,05). Die getesteten Fixationsmethoden zeigten signifikante Unterschiede in ihren biomechanischen Eigenschaften (p < 0,05). Insbesondere die Weichteilfixationen in Gruppen 1 und 2 wiesen adäquate biomechanische Eigenschaften im Vergleich zum nativen Gewebe vor. Durch die Kombination aus geringerer Invasivität, Verzicht auf das Einbringen von Fremdkörpern, einfacher Anwendbarkeit und guter Primärstabilität sind patellare Weichteilfixationen vielversprechende Alternativen bei der MPFL-Rekonstruktion. und guter Primärstabilität sind patellare Weichteilfixationen vielversprechende Alternativen bei der MPFL-Rekonstruktion. N2 - Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare primary fixation strength and biomechanical properties of five different patellar fixation techniques without implants in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL)-reconstruction in a porcine model. Our hypothesis was that patellar fixation with soft tissue suture shows similar primary fixation strength to native MPFL. Methods: 60 domestic porcine patellae and extensor tendons were harvested and randomized into 6 groups. In group 1 and 2 soft tissue suture fixation techniques were used. In group 3 and 4 osseous tunnel reconstruction methods were performed with different sutures (absorbable suture USP 0 and non-absorbable suture USP 3). In group 5 fixation was performed with a v-shaped osseous tunnel with 4.5 mm diameter. In group 6 the stability of the native tissue was tested as comparison. The patella-tendon constructs were preconditioned with 5 cycles between 5 and 20 N with an afterwards cyclic stress testing of 1000 cycles in the range of 5 to 50 N. Subsequently, a maximum load until failure was applied. The native tissue group was solely tested for the maximum load to failure. Results: The highest maximum load to failure was found in group 1 and 2 (321.8 ± 53.5 N and 242.0 ± 57.4 N) and showed comparable results to the native tissue group (252.1 ± 129.3 N, p >0.05). A significantly lower Yield Load was found in group 3 (p=0.003) and 4 (p=0.011). During cyclic testing group 3 resulted in significantly higher elongation compared to the other groups (5.28 ± 1 mm, p <0.05). All groups showed similar stiffness to the native tissue (p >0.05). Conclusion: The examined implantfree patellar fixation methods differ significantly in their biomechanical properties (p <0.05). Adequate maximum values of Fmax compared to the native tissue were observed. Implantfree fixation techniques of free tendon grafts for MPFL-reconstruction are reasonable alternatives as patellar fixation methods.

The aim of this study was to identify and compare the injury profiles and compare the injury profiles of these three extreme water sports. Materials and Methods These data for this retrospective cohort study were collected through an online standardised questionnaire during the 2017–18 season. 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. Conclusion This unique study compares injury epidemiology and mechanism in the three most popular surfing sports: wind surfing, kite surfing and surfing. Overall, injuries were sustained mainly in the lower extremity, while surfing also demonstrated a high rate of head injuries.

Contradicting definitions of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are in use. Joint aspiration is performed before total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision. This study investigated the influence of PJI definition on PJI prevalence at THA revision. Test quality of prerevision aspiration was evaluated for the different PJI definitions. 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). PJI prevalence was 20.7% for the MSIS, 25.4% for the ICM, 28.1% for the IDSA, and 32.0% for the EBJIS definition. For synovial fluid white blood cell count, the best ROC-AUC for predicting PJI was 0.953 in combination with the MSIS definition. Conclusion. PJI definition significantly influences the rate of diagnosed PJIs at THA revision. Synovial fluid white blood cell count is a reliable means to rule out PJI. In cases with a borderline high synovial white blood cell count before THA revision as the only sign of chronic PJI, an extended diagnostic work-up should be considered.

Our hypothesis was that a combined decompression of the LTN at two potential locations for entrapment would be effective in the management of dynamic LTN paresis. We report on twelve patients with isolated LTN parersis, with tenderness at two entrapment sites, who underwent bifocal LTN decompression after undergoing unsuccessful conservative treatment for at least 6 months; all patients had preoperative electrodiagnostic studies that confirmed the paresis and ruled out peripheral neuritis. Clinical and electrical improvements were observed in eight patients (67%) regarding shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and Quick-DASH scores. Four patients (33%) did not improve after surgery. The results corroborate our hypothesis that a bifocal LTN decompression can be an effective and reliable therapeutic option in more than half of a very selective patient population suffering from serratus anterior muscle deficiency.

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%. Most injuries (61%) occurred in the central zone below the basket. More injuries occurred during the second (OR 1.8, p = 0.018) and fourth quarter (OR 1.8, p = 0.022) than during the first and third quarter of the match. Conclusion The eight identified injury patterns differed substantially in their mechanisms. Moderate and severe match injuries to the head, shoulders, knees, and ankles were mainly caused by collision with opponents and teammates. Thus, stricter rule enforcement is unlikely to facilitate safer match play.

It is known that simplified 2D in vitro systems for BM-MSC culture do not represent their naïve physiological environment. Here, we developed four different 2D cell-based decellularized matrices (dECM) and a 3D decellularized human trabecular-bone scaffold (dBone) to evaluate BM-MSC behavior. The obtained cell-derived matrices provided a reliable tool for cell shape-based analyses of typical features associated with osteogenic differentiation at high-throughput level. On the other hand, exploratory proteomics analysis identified native bone-specific proteins selectively expressed in dBone but not in dECM models. Together with its architectural complexity, the physico-chemical properties of dBone triggered the upregulation of stemness associated genes and niche-related protein expression, proving in vitro conservation of the naïve features of BM-MSC.

T1 - Approaches to mimic the complexity of the skeletal mesenchymal stem/stromal cell niche in vitro JF - European Cells and Materials N2 - Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are an essential element of most modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches due to their multipotency and immunoregulatory functions. Despite the prospective value of MSCs for the clinics, the stem cells community is questioning their developmental origin, in vivo localization, identification, and regenerative potential after several years of far-reaching research in the field. Although several major progresses have been made in mimicking the complexity of the MSC niche in vitro, there is need for comprehensive studies of fundamental mechanisms triggered by microenvironmental cues before moving to regenerative medicine cell therapy applications. The present comprehensive review extensively discusses the microenvironmental cues that influence MSC phenotype and function in health and disease – including cellular, chemical and physical interactions. The most recent and relevant illustrative examples of novel bioengineering approaches to mimic biological, chemical, and mechanical microenvironmental signals present in the native MSC niche are summarized, with special emphasis on the forefront techniques to achieve bio-chemical complexity and dynamic cultures. In particular, the skeletal MSC niche and applications focusing on the bone regenerative potential of MSC are addressed. The aim of the review was to recognize the limitations of the current MSC niche in vitro models and to identify potential opportunities to fill the bridge between fundamental science and clinical application of MSCs.

Methods The survey was conducted in June and August 2020. Three hundred thirteen members of the German Society for Endoprosthesis participated in the survey. Results The anterolateral approach is by far the most popular approach used for primary total hip arthroplasty, followed by the anterior approach during minimally invasive (55% for the anterolateral and 29% for the anterior) and regular surgery (52% for the anterolateral and 20% for the anterior). Two-thirds of the orthopaedic surgeons do not use drainages during THA. Moreover, 80% of the survey participants routinely apply tranexamic acid during surgery. Surgeons who perform minimally invasive surgery for THA use more frequently fast-track-concepts for post-operative rehabilitation. According to the interviewees, the application of fast-track-concepts leads to reduced periods of hospital stay after THA. Conclusion Our data demonstrate that patterns of practice during THA in Germany are in line with the evidence provided by current literature. This study can be seen as a stimulus to conduct similar surveys in other countries in order to promote minimally invasive surgery for THA.

T1 - Bone turnover and mineral metabolism in adult patients with hypophosphatasia treated with asfotase alfa JF - Osteoporosis International N2 - Summary There is limited understanding of how asfotase alfa affects mineral metabolism and bone turnover in adults with pediatric-onset hypophosphatasia. 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. Lumbar spine BMD T scores continuously increased during treatment. Conclusion Significant changes in bone turnover and mineral metabolism markers after asfotase alfa treatment suggest that treatment-mediated mineralization may enable remodeling and bone turnover on previously unmineralized surfaces. Urine PEA/Cr ratios may be a useful parameter in monitoring treatment during routine care.

T1 - Reoperations are few and confined to the most valgus phenotypes 4 years after unrestricted calipered kinematically aligned TKA JF - Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy N2 - Purpose The present study determined the postoperative phenotypes after unrestricted calipered kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA), whether any phenotypes were associated with reoperation, implant revision, and lower outcome scores at 4 years, and whether the proportion of TKAs within each phenotype was comparable to those of the nonarthritic contralateral limb. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Conclusion A CHD <9.5 mm on MRI is predictive of SSC lesions and a valuable tool to diagnose 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.
