Biomechanical properties of transosseous bony Bankart repair in a cadaver model
INTRODUCTION: We compared two arthroscopic repair techniques to an intact shoulder using a biomechanical model of anterior shoulder dislocation with an anterior glenoid rim fracture (Ideberg IA fracture). We hypothesized that transosseous repair is sufficient to effectively stabilize the glenoid fracture. The primary objective was to define the mechanical properties of transosseous repair of an Ideberg IA fracture relative to an intact shoulder (control group). The secondary objective was to determine the contribution of supplemental anteroposterior screw fixation of the bone fragment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifteen fresh cadaver shoulders were divided into two groups: 5 specimens in the control group and 10 in the fracture fixation group, with sequential performance of transosseous repair followed by transosseous repair+screw fixation. A fracture at the inferior portion involving more than 30% of the glenoid's surface area was made. RESULTS: The load to failure was 457 N in the control group, 277 N in the transosseous repair group and 325 N in the transosseous repair+screw fixation group. The stiffness of the constructs was 26.2N/mm for the control group, 14.6N/mm for transosseous repair and 24.6N/mm for transosseous repair+screw fixation. The difference between the two repair techniques was significant for the load to failure (p=0.02) and stiffness (p=0.001). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: This study showed that transosseous repair restores the shoulder's anatomy but not the mechanical strength of the native glenoid. Adding screw fixation significantly improves the construct
Total knee arthroplasty after opening– versus closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy. A 135-case series with minimum 5-year follow-up
INTRODUCTION: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is effective in treating isolated medial osteoarthritis of the knee, but subsequent deterioration is inevitable, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is then an option. The present study sought to compare TKA following medial opening-wedge HTO (OW-HTO) versus lateral closing-wedge HTO (CW-HTO) in terms of intraoperative data and clinical results. The study hypothesis was that there is no significant difference in clinical results or complications in TKA following OW-HTO or CW-HTO. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A retrospective multicenter (9 centers) study was conducted for the French Society of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology (SoFCOT), including 135 TKAs following HTO (58 OW and 77 CW) at a minimum 5 years' follow-up. Mean interval between HTO and TKA was 134 months and was longer in case of CW-HTO (P<0.0001). Mean age at TKA was 65.4 years and older in case of CW-HTO (P=0.021). Tibial slope was greater in case of OW-HTO (P=0.024). Prior to TKA, 55.7% of patients could walk without canes, 98.4% found stairs difficult or impossible and only 19.1% could manage a walking distance greater than 1000m. Mean flexion was 110°; 54.2% of patients showed frontal knee stability and 87.8% sagittal stability; 60.1% had a mechanical axis in varus, without difference according to OW- or CW-HTO. RESULTS: Hardware was almost systematically removed (in 98.5% of cases): in the same step for OW-HTO (P=0.018) or often in 2 steps for CW-HTO. The primary approach was generally re-used (54.2%), but less frequently in the CW-HTO group (P=0.0004). Lateral or medial ligament release was not associated in respectively 78.2% and 79.7% of cases. The TKA implant was usually without stem (87.2%) and was fitted using a conventional technique (74.4%). At a mean 87 months' follow-up, 78.5% of patients could walk without canes, stairs were still difficult or impossible for 67%, and 74.1% could now walk further than 1000m; mean flexion was 110.5°. Overall, 91.5% of patients showed frontal knee stability and 98.2% sagittal stability, without difference according to OW- or CW-HTO. There were 15 complications within 3 months, more often in the OW-HTO group (12.3%) although not significantly, and with no difference in severity. Late complications comprised loosening (5.5%) and infection (3.6%) and were more frequent in the CW-HTO group (12%) (P<0.05). DISCUSSION: The study hypothesis was partially confirmed. The only technical differences concerned hardware removal, often performed in two steps in case of CW-HTO, and TKA approach, which differed from the primary approach in case of CW-HTO. Clinical results were comparable between OW- and CW-HTO, but late complications were more frequent in the CW-HTO group
Ten-year survival and complications of total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis secondary to trauma or surgery: A French multicentre study of 263 patients
BACKGROUND: Previous surgical procedures raise technical challenges in performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and may affect TKA outcomes. Survival rates of TKA done after trauma or surgery to the knee have not been accurately determined in large populations. The objectives of this retrospective study in 263 patients with TKA after knee trauma or surgery and a follow-up of 10 years were to assess survival, functional outcomes, and the nature and frequency of complications. HYPOTHESIS: Knee trauma or surgery before TKA increases the risk of complications and decreases implant survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-three patients (122 [47%] females and 141 [53%] males) underwent TKA between 2005 and 2009 at nine centres in France. Mean age at surgery was 61 years. The patients had knee osteoarthritis secondary to a fracture (n=66), osteotomy (n=131), or ligament injury (n=66). Mean time from trauma or surgery to TKA was 145 months (range, 72-219 months). RESULTS: Major complications were infection (n=12, 4.5%), skin problems (n=8, 3%), and stiffness (n=8, 3%). Ten-year survival to implant exchange for any reason was 89%±2.8%. Flexion range increased by 2.5°±17° (p=0.02) to a mean of 110° (range, 30° to 140°); extension range increased by 4°±7° (p<0.001) to a mean of -1.19 (range, -20° to 0°). Of the 263 patients, 157 (60%) reported little or no pain at last follow-up. Mean postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle was 179°±3.2° (range, 171°-188°). CONCLUSION: TKA performed after knee injury or surgery carries a risk of specific complications (infection, skin problems, and stiffness) and may have a lower survival rate compared to primary TKA
