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.

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.

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.

Termed melt electrospinning writing, filaments are deposited layer-by-layer to produce discrete three-dimensional scaffolds for in vitro research. Through optimization of the parameters (flow rate, spinneret diameter, voltage, collector distance) for poly-ϵ-caprolactone, we could direct-write coherent scaffolds with ultrafine filaments, the smallest being 817 ± 165 nm. These low diameter filaments were deposited to form box-structures with a periodicity of 100.6 ± 5.1 μm and a height of 80 μm (50 stacked filaments; 100 overlap at intersections). We also observed oriented crystalline regions within such ultrafine filaments after annealing at 55 °C. The scaffolds were printed upon NCO-sP(EO-stat-PO)-coated glass slide surfaces and withstood frequent liquid exchanges with negligible scaffold detachment for at least 10 days in vitro.

We investigated the influence of TXA on antibiotic release, activity of the released antibiotic against a clinical isolate of S. aureus, and compressive strength of a widely used commercially prepared gentamicin-loaded cement brand (PALACOS R + G). Method: 12 bone cement cylinders (diameter and height = 6 and 12 mm, respectively) were molded. After curing in air for at least 1 h, six of the cylinders were completely immersed in 5 mL of fetal calf serum (FCS) and the other six were completely immersed in a solution consisting of 4.9 mL of FCS and 0.1 mL (10 mg) of TXA. Gentamicin elution tests were performed over 7 d. Four hundred µL of the gentamicin eluate were taken every 24 h for the first 7 d without renewing the immersion fluid. The gentamicin concentration was determined in a clinical analyzer using a homogeny enzyme immuno-assay. The antimicrobial activity of the eluate, obtained after day 7, was tested. An agar diffusion test regime was used with Staphylococcus aureus. Bacteria were grown in a LB medium and plated on LB agar plates to get a bacterial lawn. Fifty µL of each eluate were pipetted on 12-mm diameter filter discs, which were placed in the middle of the agar gel. After 24 h of cultivation at 37 °C, the zone of inhibition (ZOI) for each specimen was measured. The compressive strength of the cements was determined per ISO 5833. Results: At each time point in the gentamicin release test, the difference in gentamicin concentration, obtained from specimens immersed in the FCS solution only and those immersed in the FCS + TXA solution was not significant (p = 0.055–0.522). The same trend was seen in each of the following parameters, after 7 d of immersion: (1) Cumulative gentamicin concentration (p < 0.297); (2) gentamicin activity against S. aureus (strongly visible); (3) ZOI size (mostly > 20 mm) (p = 0.631); and (4) compressive strength (p = 0.262). Conclusions: For the PALACOS R + G specimens, the addition of TXA to FCS does not produce significant decreases in gentamicin concentration, in the activity of the gentamicin eluate against a clinical isolate of S. aureus, the zone of inhibition of S. aureus, and in the compressive strength of the cement, after 7 d of immersion in the test solution.

In this study, we apply a bioreactor system where human bone-marrow hMSCs are seeded in human femoral head-derived decellularized bone scaffolds and subjected to dynamic culture, i.e., shear stress induced by continuous cell culture medium perfusion at 1.7 mL/min flow rate and compressive stress by 10% uniaxial load at 1 Hz for 1 h per day. In silico modeling revealed that continuous medium flow generates a mean shear stress of 8.5 mPa sensed by hMSCs seeded on 3D bone scaffolds. Experimentally, both dynamic conditions improved cell repopulation within the scaffold and boosted ECM production compared with static controls. Early response of hMSCs to mechanical stimuli comprises evident cell shape changes and stronger integrin-mediated adhesion to the matrix. Stress-induced Col6 and SPP1 gene expression suggests an early hMSC commitment towards osteogenic lineage independent of Runx2 signaling. This study provides a foundation for exploring the early effects of external mechanical stimuli on hMSC behavior in a biologically meaningful in vitro environment, opening new opportunities to study bone development, remodeling, and pathologies.

SARC-F and MNA-SF are well-established questionnaires for identifying patients at risk for these conditions. We sought to evaluate the feasibility and potential added benefit of such assessments as well as the actual prevalence of these conditions in osteoporosis patients. We conducted a cross-sectional, single-center study in female osteoporosis patients ≥ 65 years (SaNSiBaR-study). Results of the sarcopenia (SARC-F) and malnutrition (MNA-SF) screening questionnaires were matched with a functional assessment for sarcopenia and data from patients’ medical records. Out of 107 patients included in the analysis, a risk for sarcopenia (SARC-F ≥ 4 points) and a risk for malnutrition (MNA-SF ≤ 11 points) was found in 33 (30.8%) and 38 (35.5%) patients, respectively. Diagnostic overlap with coincident indicative findings in both questionnaires was observed in 17 patients (16%). As compared to the respective not-at-risk groups, the mean short physical performance battery (SPPB) score was significantly reduced in both patients at risk for sarcopenia (7.0 vs. 10.9 points, p < 0.001) and patients at risk for malnutrition (8.7 vs. 10.5 points, p = 0.005). Still, confirmed sarcopenia according to EWGSOP2 criteria was present in only 6 (6%) of all 107 patients, with only 3 of them having an indicative SARC-F score. Bone mineral density was not significantly different in any of the at-risk groups at any site. In summary, applying SARC-F and MNA-SF in osteoporosis patients appears to be a complementary approach to identify individuals with functional deficits.

This monocentric retrospective cohort study analyzes the outcome of patients treated with custom made monoflanged acetabular components (CMACs) with intra- and extramedullary iliac fixation. Methods: 14 patients were included who underwent revision THA with CMACs for the treatment of Paprosky type III defects. Mechanism of THA failure was infection in 4 and aseptic loosening in 10 patients. Seven patients underwent no previous revision, the other seven patients underwent three or more previous revisions. Results: At a mean follow-up of 35.4 months (14–94), the revision rate of the implant was 28.3%. Additionally, one perioperative dislocation and one superficial wound infection occurred. At one year postoperatively, we found a significant improvement of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score (p = 0.015). Postoperative radiographic analysis revealed good hip joint reconstruction with a mean leg length discrepancy of 3 mm (−8–20), a mean lateralization of the horizontal hip center of rotation of 8 mm (−8–35), and a mean proximalization of the vertical hip center of rotation of 6 mm (13–26). Radiolucency lines were present in 30%. Conclusion: CMACs can be considered an option for the treatment of acetabular bone loss in revision THA. Iliac intra- and extramedullary fixation allows soft tissue-adjusted hip joint reconstruction and improves hip function. However, failure rates are high, with periprosthetic infection being the main threat to successful outcome.

Die Kraftdiagnostik erfolgte durch isokinetische Testung der Kniegelenksextensoren bzw. -flexoren im Seitenvergleich mittels Biodex System 3 (Medical Systems) zunächst unter konzentrischen Kontraktionsbedingungen bei 60°/s und 240°/s sowie im Anschluss bei exzentrischer Flexion bei 60°/s Winkelgeschwindigkeit. Im ersten Abschnitt zeigten sich auf der betroffenen Seite in die Knieextension niedrigere Werte als auf der Gegenseite (teilweise signifikant) bei keiner wesentlichen Differenz in die Flexion. Im zweiten Teil erzielten die Probanden im Mittel mit ihrem operierten Bein geringere Werte als mit dem nicht operierten Bein (teilweise signifikant). Zusammenfassend zeigt sich ca. ein Jahr postoperativ kein posturales Defizit jedoch ein Kraftdefizit des Streckapparates der operierten Seite. In der Literatur ist eine postoperative Quadrizepsdsyfunktion nach MPFL-Plastik vielfach beschrieben. Ein möglicher Pathomechanismus ist die arthrogene Muskelinhibition. Die Integration disinhibierender Maßnahmen in herkömmliche Rehabilitationsprogramme stellt einen denkbaren Therapieansatz dar. N2 - Patellar luxation is an injury that affects especially young people. The reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) is an established surgical procedure in persistent instability with recurrent dislocation. This study examines the postural stability and force behavior of thigh muscles of 17 patients (average age 22.65 years) on average 400.65 days after MPFL reconstruction in a clinical follow-up study. The postural stability was measured with Posturomed (Haider Bioswing) by one-legged stance. Starting from resting position followed by impulse in AP- and ML-direction the distance of the platform was recorded. In all test modes slightly better results were achieved on the operated side compared to the non-operated side (not significant). The strength diagnosis was carried out by isokinetic testing of the knee joint extensors and flexors in a side-by-side comparison using Biodex System 3 (Medical Systems), first under concentric contraction conditions at 60°/s and 240°/s followed by eccentric flexion at 60°/s angular velocity. In the first section of testing the knee extension showed lower values on the affected side than on opposite side (partly significant) with no substantial difference in flexion. In the second section, the test subjects achieved with their operated leg lower values than with the non-operated leg (partly significant). In summary, one year postoperatively there is no postural deficit, but a strength deficit of the Quadriceps muscle on the operated side. Postoperatively dysfunction of the Quadriceps after MPFL reconstruction has been described frequently in the literature. A possible pathomechanism is the arthrogenic muscle inhibition. The integration of disinhibitory modalities into conventional rehabilitation programs is a conceivable therapeutic approach.

In der Literatur ist in der Vergangenheit über die Vor- und Nachteile der verschiedenen Zugangswege diskutiert, und es sind teilweise auch kritische Stimmen zur minimal-invasiven Operationstechnik laut geworden. Die schlechte Übersichtlichkeit des Operationsgebietes, eine flache Lernkurve, vermehrte postoperative Fehlstellungen und ein schlechtes, funktionelles Outcome werden als Kritikpunkte dieser Technik aufgeführt. Ein sicherer Zugangsweg, der eine rasche postoperative Mobilisation ermöglicht und zusätzlich den hohen funktionellen und ästhetischen Wünschen der Patienten gerecht wird, liegt im aktuellen Fokus der Forschung in der orthopädischen Endoprothetik und wird durch die Fast-Track Endoprothetik zusätzlich verstärkt. Aus diesem Grund war das Ziel dieser Studie, aussagekräftige Daten des minimal-invasiven anterioren Zugangs, modifiziert nach Smith-Peterson, zum frühen postoperativen Verlauf zu erhalten. Zur Erhebung der Daten kamen neben krankheitsspezifischen auch krankheitsübergreifende Fragebögen zum Einsatz. Die Ergebnisse der etablierten Fragebögen HHS, XSMFA-D, SF-36, der körperlichen Untersuchung, der Aktivitäts- und Funktionseinschätzung durch den Untersucher sowie durch den Patienten zeigten eine signifikante Besserung bei den Punkten Aktivität, Funktion, Lebensqualität, subjektiven Schmerzwahrnehmung sowie Krankheitsempfinden. Die Aktivität wurde zudem durch den Schrittzähler StepWatch™ (präoperativ) und den TWB (prä- und postoperativ) objektiv gemessen, wobei der TWB im frühen postoperativen Verlauf unter diesen Umständen eine valide Datenerhebung fraglich erscheinen lässt und gegebenfalls einer Revalidierung unterzogen werden muss. Es zeigte sich eine nur geringe Änderung der psychischen Summenskala des PHQ-D zu beiden MZP, obwohl sich die Ergebnisse der Fragebögen zum Thema Funktion, Schmerz und allge-meine Lebensqualität postoperativ signifikant besserten. Im Vergleich mit den Probanden des zweiten Studienarms, welche eine HTEP durch den transglutealen lateralen Zugang nach Bauer erhielten, zeigten die Daten des funktionellen Outcomes, der subjektiven Aktivität, sowie der Lebensqualität sechs Wochen postoperativ für den minimal-invasiven anterioren Zugang signifikant bessere Ergebnisse. Zusätzlich verringerte sich der Beeinträchtigungsindex postoperativ für die Probanden mit minimal-invasivem anterioren Zugang. Die Daten dieser Arbeit sind Bestandteil einer Studie, welche im „BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders” im Jahr 2018 veröffentlicht wurde. Wie schon in vorangegangen Studien gezeigt, konnten unsere Daten ein besseres, frühes postoperatives, funktionelles Outcome bei den Patienten mit minimal-invasivem anterioren Zugang untermauern. Obwohl der HHS in beiden Studiengruppen keine signifikante Änderung der Funktion aufzeigen konnte, ergaben sowohl die Daten des Schrittzählers als auch die Ergebnisse des Funktionsindexes des XSMFA-D signifikante Unterschiede in Aktivität und Funktion bei Patienten mit minimal-invasivem anterioren Zugang. Nach zwölf Monaten wiederum zeigte das funktionelle Outcome beider Studienarme keine Differenz mehr. Die Ergebnisse zur gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität ergaben zu allen MZP ein signifikant besseres Ergebnis bei Patienten mit minimal-invasivem anterioren Zugang. Es konnte schlussendlich gezeigt werden, dass der minimal-invasive anteriore Zugang einen sicheren Weg zum Hüftgelenk darstellt. Vor allem im frühen postoperativen Verlauf, welcher besonders in der „Fast-Track” Endoprothetik relevant ist, zeigte der MIS-Zugang seine Vorzüge. Die Resultate bei den Themen Funktion, Lebensqualität, Schmerzfreiheit, Komplikationsrate und Patientenzufriedenheit lieferten durchweg gute Ergebnisse. Bei der subjektiven Aktivität wurden sogar sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielt. Schlussfolgernd konnte im Vergleich zum lateralen Zugang nach Bauer gezeigt werden, dass das frühe klinische Outcome mittels minimal-invasivem anterioren Zugang gleichwertige oder sogar bessere Ergebnisse hervorbringt. N2 - The question of the ideal approach for complex, operative THA has been a reason for discussion by various authors for years and has not yet been finally clarified. In the past, the literature has discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches, and some critical voices regarding minimally invasive surgical techniques have also been heard. The poor visabilty of the operating area, a flat learning curve, increased postoperative misalignments and a poor, functional outcome are listed as points of criticism of this technique. A safe approach that enables rapid postoperative mobilization and also meets the high functional and aesthetic wishes of the patient is the current focus of research in orthopedic endoprosthetics and is reinforced by fast-track endoprosthetics. For this reason, the aim of this study was to obtain data that supports the minimally invasive anterior approach, modified by Smith-Peterson, on the early postoperative course. In addition to disease-specific questionnaires, cross-disease questionnaires were also used to collect the data. The results of the established questionnaires HHS, XSMFA-D, SF-36, the physical examination, the activity and function assessment by the examiner and by the patient showed a significant improvement in activity, function, quality of life, subjective pain perception and disease perception. The activity was also objectively measured by the StepWatch ™ step counter (preoperative) and the TWB (pre- and postoperative), whereby the TWB in the early postoperative course makes valid data collection appear questionable under these circumstances and may have to be revalidated. There was only a slight change in the psychological sum scale of the PHQ-D for both measurement times, although the results of the questionnaires on the subject of function, pain and general quality of life improved significantly postoperatively. In comparison with the subjects in the second study arm, which received THA through the transgluteal lateral approach according to Bauer, the data on functional outcome, subjective activity and quality of life six weeks postoperatively for the minimally invasive anterior approach showed significantly better results. In addition, the impairment index decreased postoperatively for these subjects with a minimally invasive anterior approach. The data of this work is part of a study that was published in "BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders" in 2018. As shown in previous studies, our data supported a better, early postoperative, functional outcome in patients with a minimally invasive anterior approach. Although the HHS could not show any significant change in function in either study group, both the pedometer data and the results of the function index of the XSMFA-D showed significant differences in activity and function in patients with minimally invasive anterior access. After twelve months, the functional outcome of the two study arms no longer showed any difference. The results on health-related quality of life showed a significantly better result for all measurement times in patients with minimally invasive anterior approach. Ultimately, it was shown that the minimally invasive anterior approach is a safe approach to the hip joint. Especially in the early postoperative course, which is particularly relevant in “fast-track” endoprosthetics, the MIS access showed its advantages. The results for the subjects of function, quality of life, freedom of pain, complication rate and patient satisfaction delivered consistently good results. Very good results were even achieved with the subjective activity. In conclusion, in comparison to the lateral approach according to Bauer, our data has shown that the early clinical outcome using the minimally invasive anterior approach produces equivalent or even better results.

Die Stimulation mit 1,25-VitD3 und RA verlangsamt das Wachstumsverhalten und verändert die Zellmorphologie von hMSC. Effekte auf die Genexpression werden auf mRNA-Ebene mittels RT-PCR dargestellt. Der Phänotyp als auch teilweise die Genexpression der osteogenen und adipogenen Differenzierung wird durch 1,25-VitD3 induziert und durch RA inhibiert.

Stimulation with 1,25-VitD3 and RA slows down the growth rate and alters cell morphology of hMSC. Effects on gene expression are shown at the mRNA level by means of RT-PCR. The phenotype and partly the gene expression of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation are stimulated by 1,25-VitD3 and are inhibited by RA. In addition, both the “microenvironment composition” and the “transcription signal” of 1,25-VitD3 and RA are mutually influenced.

Hierfür wurden 57 Patienten präoperativ, 3 Wochen, 6 Wochen sowie 6 Monate postoperativ nachuntersucht und ausgewertet. Die Scores beinhalteten den NRS-Score, Constant-Score, DASH-Score, ASES-Score, NHP-Score, SF-36-Score sowie eine sonographische Untersuchung zur Beurteilung der Reruptur nach 6 Monaten postoperativ. Einheitlich erfolgte die Ruhigstellung im Gilchrist-Verband für 6 Wochen. In der konservativen Nachbehandlungsgruppe wurden bis 6 Wochen postoperativ lediglich Pendelübungen durchgeführt, in der progressiven Nachbehandlungsgruppe erfolgte eine passive Beübung direkt postoperativ bis an die Schmerzgrenze mit Ausnahme der Adduktion. Im Gesamtkollektiv war eine Rerupturrate von 5,3% zu verzeichnen mit 3,7% in der konservativen und 6,7% in der progressiven Nachbehandlungsgruppe ohne signifikanten Gruppenunterschied (p=0,540). Bezüglich der klinischen und psychischen Ergebnisse zeigte sich 6 Monate postoperativ lediglich eine Einschränkung der aktiven Außenrotation in der konservativen Nachbehandlungsgruppe (46,2∘ vs. 39,7∘, p=0,031), sonst war kein signifikanter Gruppenunterschied zu sehen. Weiterhin erfolgten Subgruppenanalysen insbesondere hinsichtlich Alter und Geschlecht der Patienten. Dabei haben Patienten über 65 Jahren unabhängig von der Nachbehandlungsgruppe kürzer Analgetika eingenommen und waren 6 Wochen postoperativ weniger bewegungseingeschränkt. Aufgrund einer Tendenz zu vermehrten Rerupturen nach progressiver Nachbehandlung in der Literatur werden daher weiterführende Studien benötigt um zu evaluieren, ob ältere Patienten von einer vermehrten Ruhigstellung profitieren könnten. Diese Studie präsentiert im Gegensatz zu der überwiegend in der Literatur verwendeten arthroskopischen OP-Technik Ergebnisse nach RM-Refixation in Mini-Open-Technik. Damit liefert sie eine gute Grundlage für weiterführende Studien insbesondere in der Behandlung von größeren RM-Rupturen, welche ein erhöhtes Rerupturrisiko besitzen und von einer konservativen Nachbehandlung profitieren könnten. N2 - Due to divergent studies regarding physiotherapeutic treatment after surgical rotator cuff repair, two rehabilitation protocols after surgical rotator cuff repair using the mini-open technique were evaluated in a prospective randomized study. For this purpose, 57 patients were examined and evaluated preoperatively, 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 6 months postoperatively. The scores included the NRS-Score, Constant-Score, DASH-Score, ASES-Score, NHP-Score, SF-36-Score as well as a sonographic examination to assess the retear rate after 6 months postoperatively. In both groups patients were immobilized with a Gilchrist sling for 6 weeks. In the delayed group only pendulum exercises were allowed until 6 weeks postoperatively. In the early group, passive exercises were carried out directly postoperatively up to the pain threshold with the exception of adduction. The retear rate was 5.3% respectively with 3.7% in the delayed and 6.7% in the early group with no significant group difference (p = 0.540). Regarding the clinical and psychological results 6 months postoperatively, there was only a restriction of the active external rotation in the delayed group (46.2∘ vs. 39.7∘, p = 0.031). Otherwise there was no significant group difference. Subgroup analyzes were also carried out, particularly with regard to age and gender of the patients. Patients over 65 years of age had less and shorter use of analgetics postoperatively and were better in their mobility 6 weeks postoperatively. Due to the tendency towards increased retears after early aggressive rehabilitation in literature, further studies are required to evaluate whether older patients could benefit from immobilization. In contrast to the arthroscopic surgical technique mainly used in literature, this study presents results after RM refixation in the mini-open technique. It thus provides a good basis for further studies, particularly in the treatment of larger RM ruptures, which have an increased risk of retear and could benefit from longer immobilization.

In vielen Kliniken wurde im Rahmen des Patient-Blood-Managements ein präoperatives Anämie Screening eingeführt, um mit Hilfe einer präoperativen Anämiebehandlung das Risiko für eine Bluttransfusion und andere Anämie assoziierte Risiken zu senken. In den bisherigen Publikationen variieren jedoch sowohl die Anämieprävalenz als auch das Bluttransfusionsrisiko erheblich, weshalb für eine gezielte Behandlung eine klinikspezifische Analyse von Risikofaktoren für eine Bluttransfusion erforderlich zu sein scheint. Ziel dieser retrospektiven, monozentrischen Studie war es, den Einfluss der präoperativen Anämie und weiterer möglicher Einflussfaktoren auf die Transfusions- und Komplikationsrate nach Implantation einer primären Endoprothese des Kniegelenks zu untersuchen. Hierfür wurden die Daten von 1811 Patienten, welche zwischen 2016 und 2018 eine primäre Endoprothese des Kniegelenks erhalten hatten, erfasst und statistisch ausgewertet. 7,4% der Patienten besaßen eine präoperative Anämie. Patienten mit einer präoperativen Anämie erhielten in 25,4% ein Erythrozytenkonzentrat, nicht anämische Patienten in 3,1% der Fälle. Die gesamte Transfusionsrate für allogene Transfusionen lag bei 4,7%. In der Gruppe der präoperativ anämischen Patienten zeigte sich dabei ein signifikant höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit für die Transfusion eines Erythrozytenkonzentrats, nicht jedoch für eine Komplikation während des stationären Aufenthalts. Unsere logistischen Regressionsmodelle ermittelten neben der präoperativen Hämoglobinkonzentration auch die systemische Tranexamsäuregabe als unabhängigen Einflussfaktor für Transfusionen. Das Geschlecht der Patienten hatte hingegen keinen Einfluss auf das Risiko für eine Bluttransfusion. Männer und Frauen mit der gleichen präoperativen Hämoglobinkonzentration besaßen in etwa das gleiche individuelle Risiko für eine Bluttransfusion. Entsprechend erscheint es sinnvoll, für Männer und Frauen die gleiche präoperative Mindesthämoglobinkonzentration anzustreben. Da jedoch das individuelle Risiko auch durch die systemische Gabe der Tranexamsäure beeinflusst wird, könnte dies bei der Festlegung einer Schwelle zur präoperativen Behandlung berücksichtigt werden. N2 - Knee arthroplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures in Germany. In patients undergoing knee arthroplasty preoperative anemia is associated with a higher probability of blood transfusions and perioperative complications. Therefore, preoperative anemia screening and treatment have become widely accepted parts of a patient blood management protocol. However, in previous works the prevalence of anemia and the probability of blood transfusion vary considerably. Thus, it remains unclear which and how many patients will truly benefit from a preoperative anemia treatment. The aim of this retrospective, single-center study was to investigate the effect of preoperative anemia and other possible factors on the transfusion and complication rate after primary knee arthroplasty. Data of 1811 patients was statistically analyzed. 7.4% of the patients had preoperative anemia. 25.4% of patients with preoperative anemia and 3,1% of non-anemic patients needed at least one perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. The overall transfusion rate for allogenic transfusions was 4.7%. Preoperatively anemic patients had a significantly higher probability for RBC transfusion but not for complications during their hospital stay. In addition to the preoperative hemoglobin concentration, the systemic use of tranexamic acid was determined as a predictive factor for transfusions. Gender had no effect on the probability of a blood transfusion. Men and women with the same preoperative hemoglobin concentration had roughly the same individual risk for blood transfusion. Accordingly, we recommend to aim for the same preoperative minimum hemoglobin concentration in male and female patients. However, since the use of systemic tranexamic acid lowers the probability of a RBC transfusion, a different application regime of tranexamic acid might lead to a different recommendation of preoperative minimum hemoglobin concentrations.

This study aims to assess patient‐reported pain, disability and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in a real‐world cohort of adults with HPP who were not receiving asfotase alfa during the analysis. Adults (≥18 years old) with HPP (confirmed by ALPL gene mutation and/or low serum alkaline phosphatase activity for age/sex) were identified from the Global HPP Registry (NCT02306720). Demographics, clinical characteristics, and data on patient‐reported pain, disability, and HRQoL (assessed by Brief Pain Inventory Short Form [BPI‐SF], Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index [HAQ‐DI], and 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey version 2 [SF‐36v2], respectively) were stratified by pediatric‐ and adult‐onset HPP and summarized descriptively. Of the 304 adults included (median [min, max] age 48.6 [18.8, 79.8] years; 74% women), 45% had adult‐onset HPP and 33% had pediatric‐onset HPP (unknown age of onset, 22%). Of those with data, 38% had experienced ≥5 HPP manifestations and 62% had a history of ≥1 fracture/pseudofracture. Median (Q1, Q3) BPI‐SF scores were 3.5 (1.5, 5.3) for pain severity and 3.3 (0.9, 6.2) for pain interference. Median (Q1, Q3) disability on the HAQ‐DI was 0.3 (0.0, 0.7). Median (Q1, Q3) physical and mental component summary scores on the SF‐36v2 were 42.4 (32.7, 49.9) and 45.3 (36.3, 54.8), respectively. Greater numbers of HPP manifestations experienced/body systems affected correlated significantly with poorer scores on the BPI‐SF, HAQ‐DI, and SF‐36v2 (all p < 0.05). No significant differences between adults with pediatric‐ and adult‐onset HPP were observed for patient‐reported outcomes, except for disability and the BPI‐SF question “pain at its worst,” which were significantly higher among adults with pediatric‐ versus adult‐onset HPP (p = 0.03 and 0.04, respectively). These data from the Global HPP Registry show that adults with HPP have a substantial burden of illness that is associated with reduced patient‐reported HRQoL, regardless of age of disease onset.

Die Rekonstruktion des medialen patellofemoralen Ligaments (MPFL) ist die aktuell etablierte Operationstechnik bei strecknaher patellofemoraler Instabilität, zu der in der Literatur eine Vielzahl an patellaren Fixationstechniken des autologen Sehnentransplantates beschrieben werden. In dieser Studie wurden 71 Patienten 5 Jahre nach Rekonstruktion des MPFLs mit patellarer Fixation in Weichteiltechnik nachuntersucht und die klinischen Ergebnisse der Operationsmethode und die Zufriedenheit der Patienten ermittelt. Dafür wurde die Reluxationsrate ermittelt und die Funktion der Kniegelenke im Alltag mithilfe des Kujala- und des Lysholm-Fragebogens, das Aktivitätsniveau der Patienten mit der Tegner-Aktivitätsskala erfasst. Im Rahmen einer Nachuntersuchung wurden die Beweglichkeit des Kniegelenks und die Stabilität der Kniescheibe klinisch untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden unter Berücksichtigung klinischer und radiologischer Risikofaktoren ausgewertet. Die Studie ergab eine Reluxationsrate von 5,6% und ist somit vergleichbar mit der Rate anderer in der Literatur beschriebener Techniken. Die Ergebnisse der klinischen Untersuchung ergaben eine stabile ligamentäre Führung der Kniescheibe bei insgesamt guter Beweglichkeit der Kniegelenke, die Auswertung der Fragebögen zeigten signifikante Verbesserungen der Funktion der operierten Kniegelenke im Alltag bei unverändertem Aktivitätsniveau. Im Ergebnis kann durch die vorliegende Studie belegt werden, dass durch die Rekonstruktion des MPFL mit weichteiliger patellarer Fixation langfristig gute Ergebnisse bei einer niedrigen Komplikationsrate erzielt werden können. Allerdings erhöht das Zusammentreffen verschiedener Pathologien wie eine Patella alta mit einer ausgeprägten Dysplasie der Trochlea das Risiko für eine persistierende Instabilität und eine erneute Luxation. N2 - Patellar luxation is an injury of young and active patients with a complex etiology. The reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is a well-established surgical technique for patellar instability. Lots of different patellar fixation techniques for the autologous transplant are described. This study investigated the redislocation rate and functional outcome at a minimum follow-up of five years after medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with soft tissue patellar fixation. 71 patients were included and the daily knee function was measured with Kujala and Lysholm questionnaires and the level of activity with Tegner Score. The knee joints were examined clinically. The results were analyzed in consideration of clinical and radiology risk factors. This study showed a redislocation rate of 5.6 % after a mean follow up of 5.8 years, the clinical examination of the knee a satisfying patellar stability and a good range of motion. The operation leads to an increased daily knee function, the activity remains on the same level. In summary, this technique of MPFL reconstruction with soft tissue patellar fixation leads to significant improvement of the knee function and has a low long term redislocation and complication rate. However, patients with high-grade trochlear dysplasia and patella alta have a higher risk for persistent patellar instability or redislocation.

T1 - Bone mineral density and fracture risk in adult patients with hypophosphatasia JF - Osteoporosis International N2 - Summary In adult hypophosphatasia (HPP) patients, elevated lumbar spine dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) values are associated with markers of disease severity and disease-specific fracture risk while femoral bone mineral density (BMD), being largely unaffected by the disease severity, may still be useful to monitor other causes of increased fracture risk due to low BMD. Introduction Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder due to deficient activity of the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Clinical manifestation in adult HPP patients is manifold including an increased risk for fractures, but data regarding clinical significance of DXA measurement and associations with fracture risk and disease severity is scarce. Methods Retrospective single-center analysis of DXA scans in patients with confirmed HPP (documented mutation, clinical symptoms, low alkaline phosphatase activity). Further data evaluation included disease-related fractures, laboratory results (alkaline phosphatase, pyridoxalphosphate, phosphoethanolamine), and medical history. Results Analysis included 110 patients (84 female, mean age of 46.2 years) of whom 37.3% (n = 41) were harboring two mutations. Average T-Score level at the lumbar spine was − 0.1 (SD 1.9), and mean total hip T-Score was − 1.07 (SD 0.15). Both lower ALP activity and higher substrate levels (pyridoxalphosphate and phosphoethanolamine) were significantly correlated with increased lumbar spine T-Score levels (p < 0.001) while BMD at the hip was not affected by indicators of disease severity. Increased lumbar spine BMD was significantly associated with an increased risk for HPP-related fractures, prevalent in 22 (20%) patients (p < 0.001) with 21 of them having biallelic mutations. Conclusion BMD in adult HPP patients is not systematically reduced. Conversely, increased lumbar spine BMD appears to be associated with severely compromised mineralization and increased risk for HPP-related fractures while BMD at the hip appears unaffected by indicators of disease severity, suggesting suitability of this anatomic location for assessing and discerning disorders with increased fracture risk owing to reduced BMD like osteoporosis.

Methods Patients were retrospectively identified and knees were evaluated for trochlea dysplasia according to Dejour, for presence of patella alta and for presence of cartilage lesion at surgery. At a minimum follow-up of five years, information about an incident of redislocation was obtained. Kujala, Lysholm, and Tegner questionnaires as well as range of motion were used to measure functional outcome. Results Eighty-nine knees were included. Follow-up rate for redislocation was 79.8% and for functional outcome 58.4%. After a mean follow-up of 5.8 years, the redislocation rate was 5.6%. There was significant improvement of the Kujala score (68.8 to 88.2, p = 0.000) and of the Lysholm score (71.3 to 88.4, p = 0.000). Range of motion at follow-up was 149.0° (115–165). 77.5% of the knees had patella alta and 52.9% trochlear dysplasia types B, C, or D. Patellar cartilage legions were present in 54.2%. Redislocations occurred in knees with trochlear dysplasia type C in combination with patella alta. Conclusion MPFL reconstruction with soft tissue patellar fixation leads to significant improvement of knee function and low midterm redislocation rate. Patients with high-grade trochlear dysplasia should be considered for additional osseous correction.

Störungen dieses genau geregelten Prozesses resultieren in schwerwiegenden Erkrankungen, wie z.B. bei der Hypophosphatasie [3]. Dieser meist autosomal rezessiv vererbten Erkrankung liegt eine durch genetische Mutationen beeinträchtigte Funktion der TNSALP zugrunde, wodurch sich die PPi- Konzentration im Microenvironment der Zelle erhöht. Diese kann im Knochengewebe zu schweren Mineralisierungsstörungen führen [1, 2]. Andere Krankheiten, mit erniedrigten PPi- Konzentrationen, werden mit pathologischen Verkalkungen in verschiedensten Geweben in Verbindung gebracht [4, 5]. Diese gehen unter anderem auf genetische Defekte von ENPP1 zurück[4]. Auch der Mevalonat-Pathway trägt zur Komposition des Microenvironments bezüglich der Homöostase von Phosphaten bei [6, 7]. Hier bestehen auch medizinisch relevante Einflussmöglichkeiten, zum Beispiel durch Bisphosphonate, bei der sogenannten Volkskrankheit Osteoporose. In dieser Arbeit wurden die Auswirkungen einer PPi-Belastung auf die in vitro Mineralisierung von Mesenchymalen Stammzellen untersucht, wobei Modulatoren der Enzymaktivität für ALP und ENPP1 und der Aktivität des PPi-Kanals ANKH sowie des Mevalonatstoffwechsels zum Einsatz kamen (PPi, Pyridoxalphosphat (PLP), Probenecid, Vitamin D, PPADS (Pyridoxalphosphat-6-azophenyl-2‘,4‘-disulfid Säure) und ß-γmeATP (ß-γ Methylentriphosphat)). Die Resultate zeigen, dass die Modulation der PPi-Konzentration bei der osteogenen Differenzierung von hMSCs in vitro keine eindeutigen Effekte bewirkt. Geringe Änderungen des Genexpressionsmusters sind letztlich nicht auszuschliessen, blieben jedoch aufgrund der hohen Spendervariabilität durch eine erhöhte Anzahl von Experimenten zu beweisen. Diese Arbeit zeigt insgesamt eine unerwartet geringe Auswirkung einer exogenen und endogenen Modulation der PPi-Konzentration sowohl mit Blick auf die rein physikalischen Phänomene der Mineralisierung, als auch mit Blick auf die untersuchte Genregulation der wichtigsten beteiligten Proteine, was möglicherweise die hohe Kompensationskapazität der Systeme unter physiologischen Bedingungen reflektiert. Untersuchungen auf proteomischer Ebene, besonders mit Blick auf die Prozessierung von Polypeptiden mit Mineralisierungs-modulierender Wirkung würden möglicherweise genaueren Einblick vermitteln. Eine genauere Untersuchung der Einflüsse von ENPP1 erscheint für die Zukunft vielversprechend. Allerdings treten hier, besonders auch durch die verwendeten Hemmstoffe der ENPP1, die Phänomene der Vernetzung des Stoffwechsels der Phosphate (inklusive ATP und seiner Metabolite) mit dem Purinergen Signalling deutlich zutage. Diese Vernetzung generiert durch ihre Komplexität sowohl klinisch als auch zellbiologisch/biochemisch erhebliche Interpretationsprobleme, die zukünftige Arbeiten auflösen müssen. Dabei sollte besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf zwei für HPP-PatientInnen klinisch in Zukunft potentiell bedeutsame Ergebnisse gelegt werden, die möglicherweise ungünstigen Auswirkungen einer Therapie mit Probenecid auf die ALPL Expression und die Steigerung der ALPL Expression unter Hemmstoffen des Enzyms ENPP1. 1.

Nature Genetics, 1990. 343: p. 425-430. N2 - Together, the enzymes TNSALP (Tissue Non-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase), ENPP1 (Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1) and ANKH (Ankylosis, progressive human homolog) form a central regulation entity for the cellular metabolism of pyrophosphate (PPi)[1, 2]. Dysregulation of these coordinated processes result in severe diseases, such as Hypophosphatasia (HPP) [3]. This condition is caused by an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, which restricts the function of TNSALP, thus resulting in an increased concentration of PPi in the micro-environment of the cell. This can lead to severe disruption of skeletal mineralization [1, 2]. Other diseases with low PPi concentrations are associated with the pathological calcification of different tissues [1, 5] and can be traced back to genetic defects of ENPP1 [1]. The mevalonate pathway contributes to the composition of the micro-environment and hence to the homeostasis of phosphates [6, 7]. This constitutes a medically relevant possibility of influence, for example through bisphosphonates as a treatment for widespread diseases like Osteoporosis. This study analyzed the impact of a PPi exposure on the in vitro mineralization of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in the process of osteogenic differentiation. For this purpose, we used enzymatic activity modulators for ALP, ENPP1 as well as for ANKH and the Mevalonate pathway (PPi, Pyridoxalphosphate, Probenecid, Vitamine D, PPADS (Pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2‘,4‘-disulfid acid) and ß-γmeATP (ß-γ Methylentriphosphate)). The results show no clear effects due to the modulation of the PPi concentration during osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs in vitro. Minor changes in genetic expression patterns cannot be ruled out due to an elevated variability among the donor cells, said discrepancy would have to be consolidated through an increased number of experiments. Altogether, this study shows unexpectedly low impacts of exogenic an endogenic modulation of the PPi concentration, in regards to the physical effects of mineralization as well as the genetic regulation of the key proteins involved. This could be a reflection of the compensation capacity of these mechanisms under physiological circumstances. In order to provide indepth insight into this matter, further examination on a proteomic level would be necessary, especially with an outlook onto the processing of polypeptides with mineralization-modulating effects. A promising strategy for future studies seems to be a further investigation of the effects of ENPP1. However, this approach will be confronted, especially due to inhibitors of ENPP1, with the complex networking of the phosphate metabolism (included ATP and his metabolites) with purinerg signaling. Due to its complexity, this interconnectedness generates considerable interpretation issues on a clinical as well as a cell biological level, which would have to be investigated further in future studies. The focus here should be put on two results of potential clinical significance for HPP-patients, namely the unfavorable effects on the ALPL-expression of a Probenecid therapy as well as the increased expression of ALPL during ENPP1 inhibition. 1.

Es handelt sich um eine monozentrische retrospektive und deskriptive Studie zu klinischen und radiologischen Ergebnissen zwei, drei sowie fünf Jahre postoperativ. Es wurden zu Vergleichszwecken auch präoperative Daten erhoben und ausgewertet. Neben klinischen und radiologischen Untersuchungen wurden durch die Verwendung des „Knee Society Scores“, des „WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index“ und des „SF-12 Health Survey“-Fragebogens die Ergebnisse bezüglich Kniefunktion, Schmerz und Lebensqualität erhoben. Die Untersuchungen für das mittelfristige Outcome erfolgten im Zeitraum zwischen November 2012 und Januar 2017 unter standardisierten Bedingungen. Insgesamt zeigte sich im Vergleich zum präoperativen Ausgangswert eine statistisch signifikante Verbesserung aller erhobenen Scores sowie eine verbesserte Funktionalität. Der Vergleich mit anderen veröffentlichten Studien zeigte eine bessere gesamte Implantationsqualität als bei standardisierten Prothesen. Verglichen mit anderen individualisierten Prothesen sind die Ergebnisse ebenfalls etwas besser bzw. zum Teil gleichwertig. Im Gegensatz zu unserer Studie verbesserten sich die Scores bei den meisten Vergleichsstudien nicht signifikant. Im direkten Vergleich mit den einzelnen Punktzahlen der Scores erzielte die Conformis iTotal® CR G2 Prothese in unserer Studie sehr gute, zum Teil deutlich bessere Ergebnisse. Trotz der sehr guten und vielversprechenden Ergebnisse sollte aufgrund der deutlich aufwendigeren und strahlenbelastenden präoperativen Maßnahmen, die zur Implantation einer solchen Prothese notwendig sind, sowie der teilweise eingeschränkten Aussagekraft dieser Studie weitere Langzeitstudien bezüglich Funktionalität und Haltbarkeit der Conformis iTotal® CR G2 Prothese durchgeführt werden. N2 - This study with a total of 73 patients examines the clinical and functional outcome after implantation of a cruciate ligament-preserving patient-specific total knee joint endoprosthesis of the type Conformis iTotal® CR G2. It is a single-center retrospective and descriptive study of clinical and radiological results two, three and five years postoperatively. For comparison purposes, preoperative data were also collected and evaluated. In addition to clinical and radiological examinations, the results of knee function, pain and quality of life were collected using the “Knee Society Score”, the “WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index” and the “SF-12 Health Survey” questionnaire. The examinations for the medium-term outcome were carried out between November 2012 and January 2017 under standardized conditions. Overall, compared to the preoperative baseline value, there was a statistically significant improvement in all recorded scores and improved functionality. The comparison with other published studies showed a better overall implantation quality than with standardized prostheses. Compared to other individualized prostheses, the results are also slightly better or partly equivalent. In contrast to our study, the scores in most of the comparative studies did not improve significantly. In a direct comparison with the individual scores of the scores, the Conformis iTotal® CR G2 prosthesis achieved very good, in some cases significantly better results in our study. Despite the very good and promising results, further long-term studies regarding the functionality and durability of the Conformis iTotal® CR G2 prosthesis should be carried out due to the significantly more complex and radiation-stressing preoperative measures that are necessary for the implantation of such a prosthesis, as well as the partially limited informative value of this study.

MSC-ähnliche Zellen können somit nicht nur in der Spongiosa und im Gelenkknorpel, sondern auch in der anterioren Gelenkkapsel und dem Ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) des arthrotisch veränderten menschlichen Hüftgelenks nachgewiesen werden. Die FACS Analyse der Oberflächenantigene auf Zellen, die aus den vier unterschiedlichen Geweben eines beispielhaft gewählten Spenders isoliert wurden, zeigte eine deutliche Expression der Antigene CD44, CD73, CD90 und CD105. Unabhängig vom Nativgewebe zeigten somit alle untersuchten Zellen ein für MSCs charakteristisches, aber nicht spezifisches Profil an Antigenen auf ihrer Oberfläche. Eine Übereinstimmung mit den ISCT Kriterien für MSCs war aufgrund der fehlenden Kontrolle hämatopoetischer Marker nicht möglich. Die multipotente Differenzierung der isolierten Zellen erfolgte mithilfe spezifischer Differenzierungsmedien in Monolayer-Kulturen oder für die chondrogene Differenzierung in dreidimensionalen Pellet-Kulturen. Nach 21 Tagen konnten in allen differenzierten Kulturen histologisch und immunhistochemisch klare Zeichen der Osteo- und Adipogenese detektiert werden, während die Auswertung spezifischer Markergene eine klare Steigerung der Expression dieser im Vergleich zu den Negativkontrollen zeigte. Histologische und immunhistochemische Auswertungen bestätigten auch eine erfolgreiche chondrogene Differenzierung der Zell-Pellets aus Spongiosa, Knorpel und Kapsel. Lediglich in den chondrogen differenzierten Zell-Pellets aus dem LCF konnte immunhistochemisch keine Bildung des knorpelspezifischen Matrixproteins Col II nachgewiesen werden. Mikroskopisch zeigten vor allem die differenzierten MSC-Pellets aus Spongiosa und Knorpel morphologisch eine starke Ähnlichkeit zu hyalinem Knorpelgewebe. Trotz dieser Abstufungen zeigten sich für die relative Expression der chondrogenen Markergene AGG, Col II und Sox-9 keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen den differenzierten MSC-Kulturen der vier unterschiedlichen Nativgewebe. Ein positiver Nachweis des Markers Col X wies nach 27 Tagen sowohl in differenzierten als auch in undifferenzierten Pellet-Kulturen auf eine leichte chondrogene Hypertrophie hin. Zusammenfassend zeigten sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede im Hinblick auf das osteogene und adipogene Differenzierungspotential aller untersuchten Zellen. Während das chondrogene Differenzierungspotential der Zellen aus Spongiosa, Knorpel und Kapsel sich aus histologischer und immunhistochemischer Sicht ähnelte, zeigten Pellets aus dem LCF ein schwächeres chondrogenes Differenzierungspotential in vitro. Obwohl somit erstmals MSC-ähnliche Zellen aus dem LCF und Gewebsproben, die neben dem Stratum synoviale auch das Stratum fibrosum der Hüftgelenkskapsel beinhalteten, charakterisiert wurden, sind weitere wissenschaftliche Arbeiten notwendig, um das multipotente Differenzierungspotential dieser Zellen zu optimieren. N2 - This study showed for the first time that plastic-adherent growing multipotent progenitor cells carrying a combination of surface antigens characteristic of MSCs could be isolated from four tissues of the arthritic hip joint.MSC-like cells can thus be detected not only in cancellous bone and articular cartilage, but also in the anterior joint capsule and ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) of the osteoarthritic human hip joint. FACS analysis of surface antigens on cells isolated from the four different tissues of an exemplarily selected donor showed a clear expression of the antigens CD44, CD73, CD90 and CD105. Thus, irrespective of the native tissue, all cells examined showed a profile of antigens on their surface that is characteristic but not specific for MSCs. However, cells did not meet the ISCT criteria since hematopoietic markers were not analyzed. Multipotent differentiation of the isolated cells was performed using specific differentiation media in monolayer cultures or three-dimensional pellet cultures for chondrogenic differentiation. After 21 days, clear signs of osteo- and adipogenesis could be detected histologically and immunohistochemically in all differentiated cultures, while evaluation of specific marker genes showed a clear increase in the expression of these compared with negative controls. Histological and immunohistochemical evaluations also confirmed successful chondrogenic differentiation of cell pellets from cancellous bone, cartilage, and capsule. Chondrogenically differentiated cell pellets from the LCF showed no formation of cartilage-specific matrix protein Col II. Microscopically the differentiated MSC pellets from cancellous bone and cartilage showed strong morphological similarity to hyaline cartilage tissue. Despite these gradations, there were no significant differences between the differentiated MSC cultures of the four different native tissues for the relative expression of the chondrogenic marker genes AGG, Col II, and Sox-9. Positive detection of the marker Col X indicated mild chondrogenic hypertrophy after 27 days in both differentiated and undifferentiated pellet cultures. In conclusion, there were no significant differences in osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential of all cells examined. While chondrogenic differentiation potential of progenitor cells isolated from cancellous bone, cartilage, and capsule was similar from a histological and immunohistochemical point of view, pellets from LCF showed a weaker chondrogenic differentiation potential in vitro. Although our current research proved the presence of MSC-like cells in the LCF and full-thickness tissue samples of the hip joint capsule further scientific work is required to evaluate the differentiation of the chondrogenic cells in the LCF. Histological and immunohistochemical evaluations also confirmed successful chondrogenic differentiation of cell pellets from cancellous bone, cartilage, and capsule. Only in the chondrogenically differentiated cell pellets from the LCF could no formation of the cartilage-specific matrix protein Col II be detected by immunohistochemistry. Microscopically, especially the differentiated MSC pellets from cancellous bone and cartilage showed strong morphological similarity to hyaline cartilage tissue. Despite these gradations, there were no significant differences between the differentiated MSC cultures of the four different native tissues for the relative expression of the chondrogenic marker genes AGG, Col II, and Sox-9.

Staged reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with temporary implantation of an antibiotic-loaded spacer is widely accepted but still discussed controversially. This study investigated the shoulder-specific bacterial spectrum, infection control rate, functional outcome, and infection-free survival rate after staged RSA in the mid- to long-term follow-up. It was hypothesized that staged RSA would show a high infection-free survival rate. Methods A total of 39 patients treated with staged RSA for primary septic arthritis (n = 8), secondary infection (n = 8), or periprosthetic infection (n = 23) were retrospectively included. The infection control rate was calculated based on cultures taken intraoperatively at spacer removal and RSA implantation. Infection-free survival was defined as no revision due to infection. The minimum follow-up period for functional outcome assessment was 2 years (n = 14; mean, 76 months; range, 31-128 months). Results Cutibacterium (26%) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (23%) were the predominant pathogens. The infection control rate was 90%. The cumulative infection-free survival rate was 91% after 128 months. Follow-up examinations showed a mean Constant score of 48 (range, 7-85), a mean QuickDASH (short version of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire) score of 40.0 (range, 11.4-93.3), and a mean pain score of 1.6 (range, 0-7). Conclusion Staged RSA implantation was confirmed to be a reliable treatment option for primary, secondary, and periprosthetic infections of the shoulder. The infection control rate and infection-free survival rate are satisfactory. However, patients and surgeons must be aware of functional impairment even after successful treatment of infections.

T1 - Accurate implant fit and leg alignment after cruciate-retaining patient-specific total knee arthroplasty JF - BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders N2 - Background For improved outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) correct implant fitting and positioning are crucial. In order to facilitate a best possible implant fitting and positioning patient-specific systems have been developed. However, whether or not these systems allow for better implant fitting and positioning has yet to be elucidated. For this reason, the aim was to analyse the novel patient-specific cruciate retaining knee replacement system iTotal (TM) CR G2 that utilizes custom-made implants and instruments for its ability to facilitate accurate implant fitting and positioning including correction of the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA). Methods We assessed radiographic results of 106 patients who were treated with the second generation of a patient-specific cruciate retaining knee arthroplasty using iTotal\(^{TM}\) CR G2 (ConforMIS Inc.) for tricompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) using custom-made implants and instruments. The implant fit and positioning as well as the correction of the mechanical axis (hip-knee-ankle angle, HKA) and restoration of the joint line were determined using pre- and postoperative radiographic analyses. Results On average, HKA was corrected from 174.4 degrees +/- 4.6 degrees preoperatively to 178.8 degrees +/- 2.2 degrees postoperatively and the coronal femoro-tibial angle was adjusted on average 4.4 degrees. The measured preoperative tibial slope was 5.3 degrees +/- 2.2 degrees (mean +/- SD) and the average postoperative tibial slope was 4.7 degrees +/- 1.1 degrees on lateral views. The joint line was well preserved with an average modified Insall-Salvati index of 1.66 +/- 0.16 pre- and 1.67 +/- 0.16 postoperatively. The overall accuracy of fit of implant components was decent with a measured medial overhang of more than 1 mm (1.33 mm +/- 0.32 mm) in 4 cases only. Further, a lateral overhang of more than 1 mm (1.8 mm +/- 0.63) (measured in the anterior-posterior radiographs) was observed in 11 cases, with none of the 106 patients showing femoral notching. Conclusion The patient-specific iTotal\(^{TM}\) CR G2 total knee replacement system facilitated a proper fitting and positioning of the implant components. Moreover, a good restoration of the leg axis towards neutral alignment was achieved as planned. Nonetheless, further clinical follow-up studies are necessary to validate our findings and to determine the long-term impact of using this patient- specific system.

However, the positive effect of DRT on osteopenia/osteoporosis in men has still to be confirmed. To evaluate the effect of low‐volume/high‐intensity (HIT)‐DRT on bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in men with osteosarcopenia, we initiated the Franconian Osteopenia and Sarcopenia Trial (FrOST). Forty‐three sedentary community‐dwelling older men (aged 73 to 91 years) with osteopenia/osteoporosis and SMI‐based sarcopenia were randomly assigned to a HIT‐RT exercise group (EG; n = 21) or a control group (CG; n = 22). HIT‐RT provided a progressive, periodized single‐set DRT on machines with high intensity, effort, and velocity twice a week, while CG maintained their lifestyle. Both groups were adequately supplemented with whey protein, vitamin D, and calcium. Primary study endpoint was integral lumbar spine (LS) BMD as determined by quantitative computed tomography. Core secondary study endpoint was SMI as determined by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry. Additional study endpoints were BMD at the total hip and maximum isokinetic hip−/leg‐extensor strength (leg press). After 12 months of exercise, LS‐BMD was maintained in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG, resulting in significant between‐group differences (p < 0.001; standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.90). In parallel, SMI increased significantly in the EG and decreased significantly in the CG (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.95). Total hip BMD changes did not differ significantly between the groups (p = 0.064; SMD = 0.65), whereas changes in maximum hip−/leg‐extensor strength were much more prominent (p < 0.001; SMD = 1.92) in the EG. Considering dropout (n = 2), attendance rate (95%), and unintended side effects/injuries (n = 0), we believe our HIT‐RT protocol to be feasible, attractive, and safe. In summary, we conclude that our combined low‐threshold HIT‐RT/protein/vitamin D/calcium intervention was feasible, safe, and effective for tackling sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis in older men with osteosarcopenia.
