N2 - The ACL is one of the most common injured structures of the human body in sports accidents and the number of reconstructions will continue to grow. In recent years, major advances in the characterization of the biomechanical properties of tendons and ligaments have been achieved and new approaches in the field of tissue engineering offer new opportunities. In this work an ACL construct of biomaterial based collagen I was developed and tested. The results can be used as a basis for the production of a ligament constructs.

Alle Patienten wurden nach postoperativen Rezidivluxationen befragt und die Schulterfunktion wurde mittels standardisiertem und validiertem Fragebogen durch den „Constant Score“ und den „Oxford Shoulder Instability Score“ untersucht. Ziel der Studie war es, den von Balg und Boileau 2007 vorgestellten „Instability Severity Index Score“ (ISIS) auf seine Aussagekraft hin am vorliegenden Kollektiv zu überprüfen. Zeitgleich sollten ein Vergleich der offenen mit den arthroskopischen Stabilisierungen sowie eine Analyse der Ursachen der Rezidivluxationen erfolgen. Insgesamt kam es in acht Fällen zu Rezidivluxationen (3,6 %). Die offen Operierten wiesen eine Rate von 3,1 %, die Gruppe der arthroskopisch Operierten 8,7 % Rezidive auf. Patienten mit weniger oder gleich sechs Punkten im ISIS hatten in 2,7 % Reluxationen, Patienten mit mehr als sechs Punkten in 8,1 %. Patienten, die rückblickend gemäß der Empfehlung aus dem ISIS operiert wurden, hatten in 5,3 % Rezidivluxationen. Patienten, die entgegen der Empfehlung operiert wurden, in 3,5 %. Alle Unterschiede waren statistisch nicht signifikant. In allen Gruppen konnten in den funktionellen Scores sehr gute Ergebnisse mit durchschnittlich über 87 % im alters- und geschlechtsadaptierten Constant Score und über 42 Punkten im Oxford Shoulder Instability Score ohne signifikante Unterschiede erzielt werden. Von den insgesamt acht Patienten mit Reluxationen lagen von zwei Patienten CT-Untersuchungen nach aufgetretener Reluxation vor. In beiden Fällen konnten signifikante Glenoidranddefekte gefunden werden. Aus Sicht der erhobenen Daten und der erzielten Ergebnisse ist der ISIS als nützlich zur präoperativen Risikobewertung sowie zur Entscheidung über das operative Vorgehen einzuschätzen, wobei er keine imperative Handlungsanweisung darstellen sollte. Die Empfehlung zum Korakoidtransfer nach Latarjet ab sieben Punkten im ISIS kann anhand dieser Daten nicht bestätigt werden. Vielmehr konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine offene Bankart-Operation mit selektivem Kapselshift sehr gute Langzeitergebnisse bezüglich der Reluxationsraten und der funktionellen Ergebnisse liefert. Im Hinblick auf die erzielten Ergebnisse und Fehleranalysen ist weiterhin festzuhalten, dass bei Verdacht auf einen Glenoiddefekt in der Regel eine CT mit 3D-Rekonstruktion und Seiten-vergleich erfolgen sollte, um die Indikation zum offenen Knochenblocktransfer nicht zu verpassen. Offene und arthroskopische Stabilisierungen können bei richtiger Indikationsstellung kurz- und mittelfristig vergleichbar gute Ergebnisse liefern. Langfristig aber scheint das minimal-invasive Vorgehen höhere Raten an Rezidivluxationen aufzuweisen. Wie auch in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden konnte, ist ein langer Beobachtungszeitraum bei Studien, die das klinische Ergebnis von Schulterstabilisierungen untersuchen, sehr wichtig, um das wahre Ausmaß an postoperativen Rezidivinstabilitäten zu erfassen. N2 - This study encompasses 220 patients for whom the „Instability Severity Index Score (ISIS)“ was retrospectively calculated from available pre-operative documents. All 220 patients underwent surgery due to traumatic anterior shoulder instability in the period 1988 till 2007 in the König-Ludwig-Haus clinic in Würzburg, Germany, by the same surgeon (F. Gohlke), using either open surgery or the arthroscopic (modified) Bankart procedure. For this study, all patients were contacted and evaluated by asking them if there had been any events of re-dislocation and by assessing their “Constant Score” and the „Oxford Shoulder Instability Score“ using standardized and validated questionnaires. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of the „Instability Severity Index Score“ (ISIS), introduced in 2007 by Balg and Boileau, with respect to this study’s population. At the same time, a comparison between the outcomes of the open and the arthroscopic stabilizations and an analysis of the reasons for re-dislocations were envisioned. In total, there were eight cases of re-dislocations (3.6 %). Patients who had undergone open surgery showed a recurrence rate of 3.1 %, while the rate for patients who had been operated on arthroscopically was 8.7 %. 2.7% of patients with an ISIS score of six points or less reported re-dislocations, while 8.1% of patients achieving more than six points in the ISIS score had a re-dislocation. Patients treated in accordance to the retrospective indication of the ISIS showed a recurrence rate of 5.3 %, while patients who had been treated contrary to the retrospective indication showed a rate of 3.5 %. All differences were, however, statistically insignificant. All groups showed very good results concerning the functional shoulder scores by achieving an average of over 87 % in the age- and gender-modified Constant Score and over 42 points in the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score without significant differences. CT scans were available for two of the eight patients reporting re-dislocations and in both cases significant bone loss in the anterior glenoid rim could be detected. In light of the collected data and the achieved results, the ISIS can be considered useful for preoperative risk evaluation and for choosing the operative procedure. Taken in isolation, however, it should not be considered conclusive. The recommendation of coracoid transfer in the Latarjet procedure for patients achieving seven points or more in the ISIS cannot be confirmed by this study. It could, however, be shown that performing an open Bankart procedure with a selective capsular shift leads to very good long-term results regarding the rate of re-dislocations and the functional outcome. With respect to the acquired results and the error analysis, it is recommended that CT scans with 3D reconstruction and left-right comparisons are carried out if bone loss of the glenoid rim is suspected in order not to miss an indication for open bone block repair. In the short- and medium term, both open and arthroscopic stabilization can lead to similarly good results given the correct indication, whereas the arthroscopic procedure seems to lead to a higher rate of recurrent instability in the long term. As this study was able to show, long-term follow up is essential for studies that investigate the clinical results after shoulder stabilization in order to reveal the true rate of recurrent instability.

In contrast, acute haematogenous osteomyelitis represents a rare entity that almost exclusively affects prepubescent children or immunodeficient adults. Case Presentation In this article, we report the case of acute pneumococcal osteomyelitis of the humerus in an immunocompetent and otherwise healthy 44-year-old male patient presenting with minor inflammation signs and misleading clinical features. Conclusions The diagnosis had to be confirmed by open biopsy which allowed the initiation of a targeted therapy. A case of pneumococcal osteomyelitis of a long bone, lacking predisposing factors or trauma, is unique in adults and has not been reported previously.

The typical clinical presentation is pain and swelling above the affected area. The most common sites of involvement are the mandible and the metaphysis of long bones. Histologically and biologically, desmoplastic fibroma mimics extra-abdominal desmoid tumor of soft tissue. Case Presentation and Literature Review: A case of a 27-year old man with DF in the ilium, including the clinical, radiological and histological findings over a 4-year period is presented here. CT scans performed in 3-year intervals prior to surgical intervention were compared with respect to tumor extension and cortical breakthrough. The patient was treated with curettage and grafting based on anatomical considerations. Follow-up CT scans over 18-months are also documented here. Additionally, a review and analysis of 271 cases including the presented case with particular emphasis on imaging patterns in MRI and CT as well as treatment modalities and outcomes are presented. Conclusion: In patients with desmoplastic fibroma, CT is the preferred imaging technique for both the diagnosis of intraosseus tumor extension and assessment of cortical involvement, whereas MRI is favored for the assessment of extraosseus tumor growth and preoperative planning. While tumor resection remains the preferred treatment for DF, curettage and grafting prove to be an acceptable alternative treatment modality with close follow-up when resection is not possible. Curettage and grafting have been shown to provide good clinical results and are associated with long recurrence free intervals.

Das Ziel der vorliegenden retrospektiven Studie war, den Einfluß der Patientenaktivität auf den Polyethylenabrieb zu bestimmen. Es wurden 104 gut funktionierende primär implantierte Hüftgelenkprothesen [HG®-Pfanne, konventionelles PE, 28 mm Keramikköpfe] mittels Abriebmessungen [HipAnalysisSuite®Version 8.0.4.3] an 1203 Röntgenaufnahmen über durchschnittlich 12 Jahre untersucht. Die Aktivität der durchschnittlich 58-jährigen Patienten wurde mit speziellen Fragebögen und einem Accelerometer bestimmt. Die Hochrechnung auf ein Jahr ergab 1,8 Millionen Lastwechsel im Durchschnitt und durchschnittlich 17 Stunden Aktivität pro Tag. Dabei zeigten die Messinstrumente HHS, Aktivitätseinschätzung durch den Arzt, Gehstrecke, UCLA und TWB ansteigende Korrelationen zu den durchschnittlichen absoluten Lastwechseln pro Tag. Es zeigte sich eine durchschnittliche jährliche lineare Abriebrate von 0,1 mm, die zu 18 % von der Aktivität beeinflußt wurde und eine jährliche volumetrische Abriebrate von durchschnittlich 53 mm³, die zu 19 % von den durchgeführten Lastwechseln beeinflußt wurde. Klinische Faktoren wie Gewicht, Geschlecht, Alter bei Operation oder Pfannenposition zeigten dagegen keine Korrelation zur Abriebrate. Für die durchschnittlichen Lastwechsel im mittleren Aktivitätsniveau und die absoluten Lastwechsel in Kombination mit dem PeakActivityIndex ermittelte sich eine Prädiktion für das Risiko einer jährlichen linearen Abriebrate von mehr als 0,15 mm von 78%. Diese Langzeitstudie etabliert eine direkte Korrelation zwischen der Patientenaktivität und dem Polyethylenabrieb und die untersuchte Gleitpaarung zeigte gute Langzeitergebnisse bei durchschnittlicher Aktivität berenteter Patienten. Die dem Operateur zur Verfügung stehenden Messinstrumente, um die Patientenaktivität einzuschätzen, sind allenfalls begrenzt geeignet, die Patientenaktivität zu beurteilen. Der Operateur kann den Einfluss der Patientenaktivität auf die jährliche Abriebrate nur durch die Wahl der bestmöglichen Gleitpaarung minimieren. N2 - The aseptic loosening of THR is a result of polyethylene wear. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine the effect of the patient's activity on polyethylene wear in 102 well-functioning hip prostheses [28 mm aluminum-oxide ceramic heads and Harris-Galante acetabular cups] and secondarily to assess the relevance of different clinical methods used for measuring patient activity as compared to an electronic accelerometer. This retrospective study used the StepWatch electronic accelerometer and different questionnaires to assess patient activity. Polyethylene wear was measured radiographically using a validated computer-assisted measurement technique [HipAnalysisSuite®Version 8.0.4.3] . At an average follow-up of 12 + 2.25 years (range, 5 to 16 years), linear wear rate averaged 0.1 + 0.09 mm per year. Measurements of activity as assessed by the accelerometer were significantly related to wear rates (p=0.03) and accounted for 18.2% of the variation in wear rate data. The DailyActiveQuestionnaire had the most highly correlation with the patients' average number of steps per day. Age, gender, weight and cup position were not associated with the linear wear rate. The PeakActivitylndex, loadings at a moderate activity Ievei and absolute loadings in combination predicted higher wear rates of > 0.15 mm/yr. in 78% of the true positive fraction . This study has reported a direct correlation between activity Ievei and polyethylene wear and had shown good lang term results of patient in retirement.

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.

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.

Bei persistierender Instabilität mit Rezidivereignissen ist die Rekonstruktion des medialen patellofemoralen Ligaments (MPFL) ein etabliertes Operationsverfahren. In dieser Arbeit wurde bei 17 Patienten (Durchschnittsalter 22,65 Jahre) die posturale Stabilität sowie das Kraftverhalten der Oberschenkelmuskulatur im Mittel 400,65 Tage nach Durchführung einer MPFL-Plastik in Form einer klinischen Verlaufsstudie bestimmt. Die Messung der posturalen Instabilität erfolgte im Einbeinstand auf einem Posturomed (Haider Bioswing). Dabei wurde aus der Ruheposition sowie nach Bewegungsimpuls in AP- und ML-Richtung die Wegstrecke der Standplattform aufgezeichnet. Bei allen Testmodi zeigten sich auf der operierten im Vergleich zur Gegenseite leichtgradig bessere Werte (nicht signifikant). 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.

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

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

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

This study investigated if an injury prevention programme effectively reduces overuse injury to the throwing shoulder of handball athletes. Methods 61 men’s and women’s handball teams (u-19 and senior athletes) were cluster-randomised into an intervention and a control group in the 2019–2020 season. Players of the intervention group regularly carried out an injury prevention programme. Both groups documented overuse shoulder injuries via an online questionnaire every second week. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of overuse injury to the throwing shoulder. Secondary endpoints were the influence of compliance on the primary endpoint and intensity of overuse shoulder symptoms measured by a shortened, handball-specific Western Ontario Shoulder Index (WOSI). Results 31 teams (295 players) in the intervention group and 30 teams (284 players) in the control group were included for analyses. The overall questionnaire response rate was 61%. The average prevalence of overuse shoulder injury did not significantly differ between the intervention group (n=109, 38.4% (95% CI 32.9% to 44.2%)) and the control group (n=106, 35.9% (95% CI 30.7% to 41.6%), p=0.542). Compliance with the intervention programme did not significantly affect overuse shoulder injury (p=0.893). Using generalised estimating equations for WOSI, the estimated mean for the intervention group was 44.6 points (95% CI 42.0 to 47.1) and 47.6 points for the control group (95% CI 44.9 to 50.3, p=0.111). Conclusions A multicomponent exercise programme using rubber bands and stretching did not significantly reduce the prevalence or symptoms of overuse throwing shoulder injury in handball athletes of both sexes.

In vitro aged hMSC developed a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), resulting in enhanced SAA1/2, TLR2/4 and proinflammatory cytokine (IL6, IL8, IL1\(\beta\), CXCL1, CXCL2) expression before entering replicative senescence. Recombinant human SAA1 (rhSAA1) induced SASP-related genes and proteins in MSC, which could be abolished by cotreatment with the TLR4-inhibitor CLI-095. The same pattern of SASP-resembling genes was stimulated upon induction of osteogenic differentiation, which is accompanied by autocrine SAA1/2 expression. In this context additional rhSAA1 enhanced the SASP-like phenotype, accelerated the proinflammatory phase of osteogenic differentiation and enhanced mineralization. Autocrine/paracrine and rhSAA1 via TLR4 stimulate a proinflammatory phenotype that is both part of the early phase of osteogenic differentiation and the development of senescence. This signaling cascade is tightly involved in bone formation and mineralization, but may also propagate pathological extraosseous calcification conditions such as calcifying inflammation and atherosclerosis.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Durch die steigende Lebenserwartung der Bevölkerung nimmt dementsprechend auch die Anzahl an Patienten mit Coxarthrose zu. Die Therapie besteht konservativ u.a. aus Physiotherapie und Analgesie. Reichen die konservativen Maßnahmen nicht aus, steht der totale Gelenkersatz in Form eine Totalendoprothese zur Verfügung. Bisher gibt es keine regenerativen Therapien, die den arthrotisch degenerierten Gelenkknorpel ersetzen können. Durch die Fähigkeit, sich in Knochen-, Fett- und Knorpelzellen zu differenzieren, ist in der Vergangenheit die mesenchymale Stammzelle in den Fokus der Forschung gerückt. Es wird vermutet, dass diese Stammzellpopulation das Potential besitzen könnte, den defekten Knorpel zu ersetzen. Diese Zellpopulation ist in vivo jedoch noch nicht ausreichend charakterisiert und es fehlen belastbare Daten, wie sich die (pathologische) Umgebung auf die MSC auswirkt. In den letzten Jahren sind diverse Populationen von MSC mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften entdeckt worden. Um die subchondralen Populationen aus arthrotischen Hüften genauer zu charakterisieren, wurde hier Reaming aus dem Acetabulum (ein bei der Hüft-TEP Implantation anfallendes chirurgisches Abfallprodukt) untersucht. Die enthaltenen Zellen wurden im Hinblick auf die zelluläre Signatur und donorenbezogenen Eigenschaften untersucht. Parameter, die untersucht wurden, waren das Alter, das Geschlecht, der BMI und der K&L Score. Außerdem wurde die zelluläre Signatur anhand bestimmter Oberflächenmarker untersucht. Weiterhin wurden die isolierten und kultivierten MSC untersucht, ob sie sich bzgl. ihrer Fähigkeit unterscheiden, sich in die adipogene bzw. osteogene Linie zu differenzieren. Eine Eigenschaft, die bisher bei allen Populationen von möglichen MNC bzw. MSC nachgewiesen wurde, ist ihre Fähigkeit Kolonien zu bilden - sog. CFU-F. Bei den durchgeführten Untersuchungen zeigte sich, dass aus allen erhaltenen Proben MSC in Form von CFU-F gewonnen werden konnten. Weiterhin waren alle Zellen in der Lage adipogen bzw. osteogen zu differenzieren. Signifikante Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Differenzierungseigenschaften konnten nicht festgestellt werden. Eine höhere CFU-F Bildung konnte aus dem Reaming von männlichen Donoren nachgewiesen werden. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich eine signifikant höhere Anzahl CD271-exprimierender Zellen im Reaming von männlichen Donoren befand. Ebenfalls konnte eine signifikante Zunahme für CD45- CD13+ CD105+ Zellen mit steigendem BMI nachgewiesen werden. Durch diese umfassende Versuchsreihe konnte dargelegt werden, dass es in arthrotischen Hüften Unterschiede in der MSC Zahl im Vergleich der Geschlechter gibt und dass bestimmte Populationen von MSC mit steigendem BMI zunehmen. Um diese Ergebnisse einordnen zu können ist es in Zukunft notwendig zu untersuchen, ob diese Unterschiede allein durch die Arthrose bedingt sind oder ob dieser Unterschied auch im gesunden Knochenmark vorliegt. N2 - Coxarthrosis is a common degenerative disease whose prevalence increases with age. Due to the increasing life expectancy of the population, the number of patients with coxarthrosis is also increasing accordingly. Among others, conservative therapy consists of physiotherapy and analgesia. If the conservative measures are not sufficient, total joint replacement in the form of a total endoprosthesis is available. To date, there are no regenerative therapies that can replace arthritically degenerated articular cartilage. Due to its ability to differentiate into bone-, fat- and cartilage-cells, mesenchymal stem cells have become the focus of research in the past. It is thought that this stem cell population may have the potential to replace defective cartilage. However, this cell population is not yet sufficiently characterized in vivo and robust data on how the (pathological) environment affects MSC is lacking. In recent years, diverse populations of MSC with different properties have been discovered. To further characterize subchondral populations from osteoarthritic hips, reaming from the acetabulum (a surgical waste product generated during hip TEP implantation) was studied here. The contained cells were studied in terms of cellular signature and donor-related properties. Parameters examined were age, gender, BMI, and K&L score. In addition, the cellular signature was examined using specific surface markers. Furthermore, the isolated and cultured MSCs were examined to see if they differed in their ability to differentiate into the adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, respectively. One property that has been demonstrated so far in all populations of possible MNC or MSC is their ability to form colonies - so-called CFU-F. In the tests performed, it was shown that MSC in the form of CFU-F could be obtained from all the samples obtained. Furthermore, all cells were able to differentiate adipogenically or osteogenically. Significant differences in terms of differentiation properties could not be detected. A higher CFU-F formation could be demonstrated from reaming of male donors. Furthermore, it could be shown that a significantly higher number of CD271-expressing cells were in the reaming of male donors. Also, a significant increase for CD45- CD13+ CD105+ cells with increasing BMI was demonstrated. This comprehensive series of experiments demonstrated that there are differences in MSC numbers between the sexes in osteoarthritic hips and that certain populations of MSC increase with increasing BMI. In order to be able to classify these results, it will be necessary in the future to investigate whether these differences are solely due to osteoarthritis or whether this difference is also present in healthy bone marrow.

In contrast to SQUAD, there is systematic and not just heuristic calculation of all system states. These specific features are not present in CellNetAnalyzer and BoolNet. JimenaE is an expert extension of Jimena, with new optimized code, network conversion into different formats, rapid convergence both for system state calculation as well as for all three network centralities. It allows higher accuracy in determining network states and allows to dissect networks and identification of network control type and amount for each protein with high accuracy. Biological examples demonstrate this: (i) High plasticity of mesenchymal stromal cells for differentiation into chondrocytes, osteoblasts and adipocytes and differentiation-specific network control focusses on wnt-, TGF-beta and PPAR-gamma signaling. JimenaE allows to study individual proteins, removal or adding interactions (or autocrine loops) and accurately quantifies effects as well as number of system states. (ii) Dynamical modelling of cell–cell interactions of plant Arapidopsis thaliana against Pseudomonas syringae DC3000: We analyze for the first time the pathogen perspective and its interaction with the host.

Die Genese dieser osteolytischen Läsionen ist aktuell noch nicht abschließend geklärt, bei weitestgehender Übereinstimmung in der Literatur jedoch multifaktoriell. Die Dissertation befasst sich mit dem Vergleich des kurz- bis mittelfristigen radiologischen Outcomes zweier unterschiedlicher Spunggelenkendoprothesen, welche jedoch - bis auf die Befestigungsart des Inlays - nahezu baugleich sind. Dabei wurde überprüft, ob die Befestigungsart des Inlays (mobil oder fixiert) einen Einfluss auf die Ausbildung periprothetischer Lysesäume und Zysten im Nachbeobachtungszeitraum hat. Es erfolgte zudem ein Vergleich der Survival Rates beider Gruppen. Zu den jährlichen Nachbeobachtungszeiträumen wurden die angefertigten Röntgenbilder auf die Ausbildung von relevanten prothesennahen Zysten und Lysesäumen hin untersucht. Zusammenfassend ergab sich zwischen den beiden Gruppen in Hinsicht auf die Entstehung prothesennaher Zysten sowohl bezüglich der Gesamtzahl sowie des betroffenen Knochens kein signifikanter Unterschied, obwohl Zysten in der Gruppe mit mobilem Inlay insgesamt häufiger auftraten. Auch in Hinsicht auf die Entstehung von Lysesäumen gab es bezüglich der Gesamtzahl keinen signifikanten Unterschied. In der Gruppe mit fixiertem Inlay kamen allerdings prothesennahe Lysesäume in der Tibia signifikant häufiger vor als in der Gruppe mit mobilem Inlay. In Hinsicht auf die Survival Rates zeigte sich ebenfalls kein signifikanter Unterschied. Weitere prospektive, randomisierte Studien mit größeren Patientenkollektiven und längerem Followup werden nötig sein, um im Verlauf einen zu erwartenden signifikanten Unterschied zwischen beiden Prothesengruppen bezüglich der Entstehung prothesennaher osteolytischer Läsionen und ein konsekutives Prothesenversagen feststellen zu können. N2 - Osteolytic lesions in periprosthetic bone tissue – in the shape of radiolucent lines or cysts – are one of the greatest risks for overall survival in total ankle arthroplasty because they can lead to aseptic loosening in the long run. The genesis of such lesions is still not entirely clear but has been described as multifactorial in current literature. This dissertation aims to compare the short- to mid-term radiological results of two total ankle prostheses of nearly identical design except for the bearing of the inlay (mobile versus fixed). The main goal was to find out if the type of bearing has an influence on the formation of periprosthetic osteolytic lesions. Moreover, a survival rate analysis was performed. For the annual follow-up, x-rays were analyzed to detect above mentioned osteolytic lesions. In summary, there was no statistically significant difference between the two patient groups in terms of cyst formation regarding the total number and affected bone, although cyst formation in the mobile bearing group was more prevalent. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups concerning the overall number of radiolucent lines, however they were significantly more frequent in the tibial bone in the fixed bearing group. There was also no statistically significant difference concerning the overall survival rates. Further randomized prospective studies with greater patient numbers and longer follow-up will be necessary to detect a significant difference concerning the formation of osteolytic lesions and overall survival in the two patient groups in the future.

Noyes et al. reported a novel method for accurate intraoperative coronal and sagittal alignment correction based on a three-dimensional mathematical model. This is the first study examining preliminary data via the proposed Noyes approach for accurate intraoperative coronal and sagittal alignment correction during HTO. Methods From 2016 to 2020 a total of 24 patients (27 knees) underwent HTO applying the proposed Noyes method (Noyes-Group). Radiographic data was analyzed retrospectively and matched to patients that underwent HTO using the conventional method, i.e., gradual medial opening using a bone spreader under fluoroscopic control (Conventional-Group). All operative procedures were performed by an experienced surgeon at a single orthopaedic university center. Results From the preoperative to the postoperative visit no statistically significant changes of the posterior tibial slope were noted in the Noyes-Group compared to a significant increase in the Conventional-Group (p = 0.01). Regarding the axial alignment no significant differences between both groups were observed pre- and postoperatively. The number of over- and under-corrections did not differ significantly between both groups. Linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation of the postoperative medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) with the position of the weightbearing line on the tibial plateau. Conclusion The 3-triangle method by Noyes seems to be a promising approach for preservation of the posterior tibial slope during HTO.

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.

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.

The cellular mechanisms for this positive impact are so far unknown. The purpose of the present randomized pilot controlled study was to span the knowledge gap between the reported clinical effects of Pycnogenol\(^{®}\) and its in vivo mechanism of action in OA patients. Methods: Thirty three patients with severe OA scheduled for a knee arthroplasty either received 100 mg of Pycnogenol\(^{®}\) twice daily or no treatment (control group) three weeks before surgery. Cartilage, synovial fluid and serum samples were collected during surgical intervention. Relative gene expression of cartilage homeostasis markers were analyzed in the patients' chondrocytes. Inflammatory and cartilage metabolism mediators were investigated in serum and synovial fluid samples. Results: The oral intake of Pycnogenol\(^{®}\) downregulated the gene expression of various cartilage degradation markers in the patients' chondrocytes, the decrease of MMP3, MMP13 and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL1B were statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05). Additionally, protein concentrations of ADAMTS-5 in serum were reduced significantly (p ≤ 0.05) after three weeks intake of the pine bark extract. Conclusions: This is the first report about positive cellular effects of a dietary supplement on key catabolic and inflammatory markers in patients with severe OA. The results provide a rational basis for understanding previously reported clinical effects of Pycnogenol\(^{®}\) on symptom scores of patients suffering from OA.

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.

Research suggests that exposure and uptake of wear by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and macrophages results in the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and local osteolysis, but also impaired cell viability and regenerative capacity of MSC. Therefore, this in vitro study compared the regenerative and differentiation capacity of MSC derived from patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (MSCprim) to MSC derived from patients undergoing revision surgery after aseptic loosening of total hip and knee joint implants (MSCrev). Regenerative capacity was examined by measuring the cumulative population doubling (CPD) in addition to the number of passages until cells stopped proliferating. Osteogenesis and adipogenesis in monolayer cultures were assessed using histological stainings. Furthermore, RT‐PCR was performed to evaluate the relative expression of osteogenic and adipogenic marker genes as well as the expression of markers for a senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). MSCrev possessed a limited regenerative capacity in comparison to MSCprim. Interestingly, MSCrev also showed an impaired osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capacity compared to MSCprim and displayed a SASP early after isolation. Whether this is the cause or the consequence of the aseptic loosening of total joint implants remains unclear. Future research should focus on the identification of specific cell markers on MSCprim, which may influence complication rates such as aseptic loosening of total joint arthroplasty to further individualize and optimize total joint arthroplasty.

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.

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.

Its clinical presentation is highly heterogeneous with a remarkably wide-ranging severity. HPP affects patients of all ages. In children HPP-related musculoskeletal symptoms may mimic rheumatologic conditions and diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. To improve the understanding of HPP in children and in order to shorten the diagnostic time span in the future we studied the natural history of the disease in our large cohort of pediatric patients. This single centre retrospective chart review included longitudinal data from 50 patients with HPP diagnosed and followed at the University Children's Hospital Wuerzburg, Germany over the last 25 years. Results The cohort comprises 4 (8%) perinatal, 17 (34%) infantile and 29 (58%) childhood onset HPP patients. Two patients were deceased at the time of data collection. Diagnosis was based on available characteristic clinical symptoms (in 88%), low alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity (in 96%), accumulating substrates of AP (in 58%) and X-ray findings (in 48%). Genetic analysis was performed in 48 patients (31 compound heterozygous, 15 heterozygous, 2 homozygous mutations per patient), allowing investigations on genotype-phenotype correlations. Based on anamnestic data, median age at first clinical symptoms was 3.5 months (min. 0, max. 107), while median time to diagnosis was 13 months (min. 0, max. 103). Common symptoms included: impairment of motor skills (78%), impairment of mineralization (72%), premature loss of teeth (64%), musculoskeletal pain and craniosynostosis (each 64%) and failure to thrive (62%). Up to now 20 patients started medical treatment with Asfotase alfa. Conclusions Reported findings support the clinical perception of HPP being a chronic multi-systemic disease with often delayed diagnosis. Our natural history information provides detailed insights into the prevalence of different symptoms, which can help to improve and shorten diagnostics and thereby lead to an optimised medical care, especially with promising therapeutic options such as enzyme-replacement-therapy with Asfotase alfa in mind.

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.

However, the biological potential of its precursor, cholecalciferol (VD3), has not been sufficiently investigated, although its significance in regenerative medicine — mainly in combination with various biomaterial matrices — has been recognized. Given that VD3 preconditioning might also contribute to the improvement of cellular regenerative potential, the aim of this study was to investigate its effects on bone marrow (BM) MSC functions and the signaling pathways involved. For that purpose, the influence of VD3 on BM-MSCs obtained from young human donors was determined via MTT test, flow cytometric analysis, immunocytochemistry, and qRT-PCR. Our results revealed that VD3, following a 5-day treatment, stimulated proliferation, expression of pluripotency markers (NANOG, SOX2, and Oct4), and osteogenic differentiation potential in BM-MSCs, while it reduced their senescence. Moreover, increased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression was detected upon treatment with VD3, which mediated VD3-promoted osteogenesis and, partially, the stemness features through NANOG and SOX2 upregulation. In contrast, the effects of VD3 on proliferation, Oct4 expression, and senescence were SIRT1-independent. Altogether, these data indicate that VD3 has strong potential to modulate BM-MSCs' features, partially through SIRT1 signaling, although the precise mechanisms merit further investigation.

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.

However, its contribution to inflammatory processes in the shoulder remains unclear. In the present study, inflamed and noninflamed human LHBs were comparatively characterized for features of inflammation. Materials and methods: Twenty-two resected LHB tendons were classified into inflamed (n = 11) and noninflamed (n = 11) samples. For histological examination, samples were stained with hematoxylin eosin, Azan, van Gieson, and Masson Goldner trichrome. Neuronal tissue was immunohistochemically visualized. In addition, specific inflammatory marker gene expression of primary LHB-derived cell cultures were analyzed. Results: Features of tendinopathy, such as collagen disorganization, infiltration by inflammatory cells, neovascularization, and extensive neuronal innervation were found in the tendinitis group. Compared to noninflamed samples, inflamed LHBs showed a significantly increased inflammatory marker gene expression Conclusion: Structural and biomolecular differences of both groups suggest that the LHB tendon acts as an important pain generator in the shoulder joint. These findings can, on the one hand, contribute to the understanding of the biomolecular genesis of LHB tendinitis and, on the other hand, provide possibilities for new therapeutic approaches.

T1 - Excellent and good results treating stiffness with early and late manipulation after unrestricted caliper-verified kinematically aligned TKA JF - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) for stiffness within 6 to 12 weeks after mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) generally yields better outcome scores than an MUA performed later. However, the timing of MUA after unrestricted, caliper-verified, kinematically aligned (KA) TKA remains uncertain. A retrospective review identified 82 of 3558 (2.3%) KA TKA patients treated with an MUA between 2010 and 2017. Thirty patients treated with an MUA within 3 months of the TKA (i.e., early) and 24 in the late group (i.e., >3 months) returned a questionnaire after a mean of 6 years and 5 years, respectively. Mean outcome scores for the early vs. late group were 78 vs. 62 for the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) (p = 0.023) and 42 vs. 39 for the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) (p = 0.037). Subjectively, the early vs. late group responses indicated that 83% vs. 67% walked without a limp, 73% vs. 54% had normal extension, and 43% vs. 25% had normal flexion. An MUA within 3 months after unrestricted KA TKA provided excellent FJS and OKS at final follow-up relative to a late MUA. A late MUA performed after 3 months is worth consideration because of the good FJS and OKS scores, albeit with a risk of a persistent limp and limitation in knee extension and flexion.

Therefore, this in vitro study examined the presence and differentiation potential of MSCs isolated from the bone marrow, arthritic hyaline cartilage, the LCF and full-thickness samples of the anterior joint capsule of the hip joint. Methods MSCs were isolated and multiplied in adherent monolayer cell cultures. Osteogenesis and adipogenesis were induced in monolayer cell cultures for 21 days using a differentiation medium containing specific growth factors, while chondrogenesis in the presence of TGF-ss1 was performed using pellet-culture for 27 days. Control cultures were maintained for comparison over the same duration of time. The differentiation process was analyzed using histological and immunohistochemical stainings as well as semiquantitative RT-PCR for measuring the mean expression levels of tissue-specific genes. Results This in vitro research showed that the isolated cells from all four donor tissues grew plastic-adherent and showed similar adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacity as proven by the histological detection of lipid droplets or deposits of extracellular calcium and collagen type I. After 27 days of chondrogenesis proteoglycans accumulated in the differentiated MSC-pellets from all donor tissues. Immunohistochemical staining revealed vast amounts of collagen type II in all differentiated MSC-pellets, except for those from the LCF. Interestingly, all differentiated MSCs still showed a clear increase in mean expression of adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic marker genes. In addition, the examination of an exemplary selected donor sample revealed that cells from all four donor tissues were clearly positive for the surface markers CD44, CD73, CD90 and CD105 by flow cytometric analysis. Conclusions This study proved the presence of MSC-like cells in all four examined donor tissues of the hip joint. No significant differences were observed during osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation depending on the source of MSCs used. Further research is necessary to fully determine the tripotent differentiation potential of cells isolated from the LCF and capsule tissue of the hip joint.

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.

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

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.

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.

T1 - Restoring the patient's pre-arthritic posterior slope is the correct target for maximizing internal tibial rotation when implanting a PCL retaining TKA with calipered kinematic alignment JF - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - Introduction: The calipered kinematically-aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) strives to restore the patient's individual pre-arthritic (i.e., native) posterior tibial slope when retaining the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Deviations from the patient's individual pre-arthritic posterior slope tighten and slacken the PCL in flexion that drives tibial rotation, and such a change might compromise passive internal tibial rotation and coupled patellofemoral kinematics. Methods: Twenty-one patients were treated with a calipered KA TKA and a PCL retaining implant with a medial ball-in-socket and a lateral flat articular insert conformity that mimics the native (i.e., healthy) knee. The slope of the tibial resection was set parallel to the medial joint line by adjusting the plane of an angel wing inserted in the tibial guide. Three trial inserts that matched and deviated 2°> and 2°< from the patient's pre-arthritic slope were 3D printed with goniometric markings. The goniometer measured the orientation of the tibia (i.e., trial insert) relative to the femoral component. Results: There was no difference between the radiographic preoperative and postoperative tibial slope (0.7 ± 3.2°, NS). From extension to 90° flexion, the mean passive internal tibial rotation with the pre-arthritic slope insert of 19° was greater than the 15° for the 2°> slope (p < 0.000), and 15° for the 2°< slope (p < 0.000). Discussion: When performing a calipered KA TKA with PCL retention, the correct target for setting the tibial component is the patient's individual pre-arthritic slope within a tolerance of ±2°, as this target resulted in a 15–19° range of internal tibial rotation that is comparable to the 15–18° range reported for the native knee from extension to 90° flexion.

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.

The present study was performed in order to evaluate outcomes and revision rates after revision through the DAA using an asymmetric acetabular component with optional intra- and extramedullary fixation. In a retrospective cohort study, we analyzed prospectively collected data of 57 patients (61 hips, 43 female, 18 male) who underwent aseptic acetabular component revision through the DAA with the abovementioned implant system between January 2015 and December 2017. The mean follow-up was 40 months (12–56). Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. All complications were documented and functional outcomes were assessed pre- and postoperatively. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed an estimated five-year implant survival of 97% (confidence interval CI 87–99%). The estimated five-year survival with revision for any cause was 93% (CI 83–98%). The overall revision rate was 6.6% (n = 4). Two patients had to undergo revision due to periprosthetic infection (3.3%). In one patient, the acetabular component was revised due to aseptic loosening four months postoperatively. Another patient suffered from postoperative iliopsoas impingement and was treated successfully by arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy. Two (3.3%) of the revised hips dislocated postoperatively. The mean Harris Hip Score improved from 35 (2–66) preoperatively to 86 (38–100) postoperatively (p < 0.001). The hip joint’s anatomical center of rotation was restored at a high degree of accuracy. Our findings demonstrate that acetabular revision arthroplasty through the DAA using an asymmetric acetabular component with optional intra- and extramedullary fixation is safe and practicable, resulting in good radiographic and clinical midterm results.

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.

While perfusion bioreactors have been proposed as potential tool to apply biomechanical stimuli, its use has been limited to a low number of biomaterials. In this work, we propose the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in biomimetic mineralized recombinant collagen scaffolds with a perfusion bioreactor to simultaneously provide biochemical and biophysical cues guiding stem cell fate. The scaffolds were fabricated by mineralization of recombinant collagen in the presence of magnesium (RCP.MgAp). The organic matrix was homogeneously mineralized with apatite nanocrystals, similar in composition to those found in bone. X-Ray microtomography images revealed isotropic porous structure with optimum porosity for cell ingrowth. In fact, an optimal cell repopulation through the entire scaffolds was obtained after 1 day of dynamic seeding in the bioreactor. Remarkably, RCP.MgAp scaffolds exhibited higher cell viability and a clear trend of up-regulation of osteogenic genes than control (non-mineralized) scaffolds. Results demonstrate the potential of the combination of biomimetic mineralization of recombinant collagen in presence of magnesium and dynamic culture of hMSC as a promising strategy to closely mimic bone ECM.

Als Ursache solcher Frakturen wird eine vermehrte Zugbelastung durch den Musculus deltoideus nach RSA diskutiert. In den wenigen verfügbaren Fallberichten zeigten die betroffenen Patienten deutliche Funktionseinschränkungen. Die Versorgung erfolgte im vorliegenden Fall mit Plattenosteosynthese. Trotz intraoperativ gutem Korrekturergebnis kam es im Verlauf ohne Trauma zum Osteosyntheseversagen mit weiterer Dislokation der Fraktur.

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