Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often performed in symptomatic patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who do not qualify for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). The impact of osteoarthritis (OA) severity on postoperative outcomes in DDH patients who undergo THA is not well described. We hypothesized that DDH patients who undergo THA with mild OA have slower initial recovery postoperatively, but similar one-year patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) when compared to DDH patients with severe OA.

We performed a retrospective review at a single academic institution over a six-year period of patients with DDH who underwent primary THA and compared them to patients without DDH who underwent THA. Within the DDH cohort, we compared PROMs stratified by DDH severity and OA severity. Diagnosis of DDH was verified using radiographic lateral center edge angle (LCEA). Minimum one-year follow-up was required. PROMs were collected through one-year postoperatively. Logistic and linear regression models were used adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and Charlson Comorbidity Index.

263 patients with DDH were compared to 1,225 THA patients without DDH. No significant differences were found in postoperative PROMs or revision rates (p=0.49). When stratified by DDH severity, patients with LCEA<10° had worse preoperative pain (p=0.01), mental health (p<0.01) and physical function (p=0.03) scores but no significant difference in postoperative PROMs. Within the DDH group, when stratified by OA severity, patients with Grade 3 Tonnis score had worse preoperative pain (p=0.04) but no significant difference in postoperative PROMs. Recovery curves in DDH patients based upon severity of DDH and OA were not significantly different at 2-weeks, 6-weeks and 1-year.

DDH patients who have mild OA have similar recovery curves compared to those with severe OA. THA is reasonable in symptomatic DDH patients who have mild arthritis and do not qualify for PAO.

Aims

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular procedures such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary cohort of patients, who underwent PAO in isolation without any intra-articular procedures.

Methods

From June 2012 to March 2022, 349 rectus-sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 6.2 years (1 to 11)). The mean age was 24 years (14 to 46) and 88.8% were female (n = 310). Patients were evaluated at final follow-up for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Radiographs were reviewed for the following acetabular parameters: lateral centre-edge angle, anterior centre-edge angle, acetabular index, and the alpha-angle (AA). Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze risk factors for HA.

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular work such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary PAO cohort with no intra-articular work performed at the time of PAO.

From June 2012 to March 2022, 368 rectus sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 5.9 years). The average age was 24 (range 14–46) and 89% were female. Patients were evaluated at last follow-up for patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Radiographs were reviewed for the following acetabular parameters: LCEA, ACEA, AI, and the alpha-angle (AA). Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze risk factors for HA.

16 hips (15 patients) (4.4%) underwent subsequent HA with labral repair and femoral osteochondroplasty most common. For those with a minimum of two years of follow-up, 5.3% underwent subsequent HA. No hips underwent THA; one revision PAO was performed. 14 hips experienced a complication and 99 underwent hardware removal. All PROMs improved significantly post-operatively. Radiographically 80% of hips were in goal for acetabular correction parameters with no significant differences between those who underwent subsequent HA and those who did not.

Rectus sparing PAO is associated with a low rate of subsequent HA for intra-articular pathology at 5-year follow-up. Acetabular correction alone may be sufficient as the primary intervention for the majority of patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia.

Introduction

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular work such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose of this review was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary PAO cohort with no intra-articular work performed at the time of PAO.

Methods

From June 2012 to September 2019, 272 Rectus Sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 4.6 years). The average age was 24 (range 14–44) and 87% were female. The average BMI was 25 and average length of hospital stay was 2.9 days. Patients were evaluated at last follow-up with PROMIS PF-CAT, pain and mental health scores. Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Pre and post-operative radiographs were reviewed for change in the following acetabular parameters: LCEA, ACEA, AI, and the alpha-angle was obtained from preoperative radiographs. Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze risk factors for HA.

Aims

A significant percentage of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to determine whether the sequential addition of accelerometer-based navigation for femoral component preparation and sensor-guided ligament balancing improved complication rates, radiological alignment, or patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) compared with a historical control group using conventional instrumentation.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 371 TKAs performed by a single surgeon sequentially. A historical control group, with the use of intramedullary guides for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided ligament balancing, was compared with a group using accelerometer-based navigation for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided balancing (group 1), and one using navigated femoral resection and sensor-guided balancing (group 2). Primary outcome measures were Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) scores measured preoperatively and at six weeks and 12 months postoperatively. The position of the components and the mechanical axis of the limb were measured postoperatively. The postoperative range of motion (ROM), haematocrit change, and complications were also recorded.

Aims

The Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiative has identified pathways for improving the value of care. However, patient-specific modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors may increase costs beyond the target payment. We sought to identify risk factors for exceeding our institution’s target payment, the so-called ‘bundle busters’.

Patients and Methods

Using our data warehouse and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data we identified all 412 patients who underwent total joint arthroplasty and qualified for our institution’s BPCI model, between July 2015 and May 2017. Episodes where CMS payments exceeded the target payment were considered ‘busters’ (n = 123). Risk ratios (RRs) were calculated using a modified Poisson regression analysis.

Aims

The aim of this study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiological measurements, and total hip arthroplasty (THA)-free survival in patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for mild, moderate, or severe developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Patients and Methods

We performed a retrospective study involving 336 patients (420 hips) who underwent PAO by a single surgeon at an academic centre. After exclusions, 124 patients (149 hips) were included. The preoperative lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) was used to classify the severity of dysplasia: 18° to 25° was considered mild (n = 20), 10° to 17° moderate (n = 66), and < 10° severe (n = 63). There was no difference in patient characteristics between the groups (all, p > 0.05). Pre- and postoperative radiological measurements were made. The National Institute of Health’s Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) outcome measures (physical function computerized adaptive test (PF CAT), Global Physical and Mental Health Scores) were collected. Failure was defined as conversion to THA or PF CAT scores < 40, and was assessed with Kaplan–Meier analysis. The mean follow-up was five years (2 to 10) ending in either failure or the latest contact with the patient.

Introduction

The aim of this study was to compare patient reported outcomes, radiographic measurements, and survival free from total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for mild, moderate, or severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Methods

We performed a retrospective cohort study on all patients (n=223, n=274 hips) who underwent a PAO procedure between May 1996 and May 2016, by a single surgeon at one academic center. Cases with a history of retroversion (n=64), Perthes (n=5), and those with <2 years of follow-up (n=63) were excluded. Patients were evaluated based on severity of dysplasia using the preoperative lateral center edge angle (LCEA): 18° – 25° was considered mild dysplasia (n=19), 10° – 17° moderate (n=62), and <10° severe (n=61). There was no difference in patient characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, or ASA score) between then cohorts (all, p>0.05). NIH PROMIS outcome measures included the physical function computerized adaptive test (PF CAT) and the Global 10 health assessment. Generalized estimating equations were used for all comparisons and missing data was imputed using the multivariate imputation by chained equations method. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess survival. Failure was defined as conversion to THA and follow-up was ended at time of failure or at the time of last follow-up. Mean follow-up was five years (1 – 19).
