Objective:To explore the early clinical effect of arthroplasty with rotating hinge knee prosthesis in the treatment of severe knee deformity.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 55 patients who underwent primary rotating hinge knee arthroplasty at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2017 to October 2023, including 19 male patients and 36 female patients, with an average age of 60.9±9.0 years (ranging from 31 to 74 years). The four main indications were end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis (valgus/varus>20°, 16 cases), post-traumatic joint deformity (15 cases), severe joint ligament instability (12 cases), and neuromuscular or immune diseases (12 cases). The patients were divided into two age groups: ≥60 years old group (32 cases) and <60 years old group (23 cases). Various pre-operative and post-operative data, including knee society score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), forgotten joint score (FJS), degree of force line offset and post-operative complications, were collected and compared.Results:All the 55 cases successfully underwent the operation. The operation time was 102.3±15.8 min. The intraoperative blood loss was 63±23.7 ml. The follow-up time was 37.2±7.9 months. KSS clinical score increased from 27.5(12, 45) before surgery to 90.5(85, 95) after surgery ( P<0.001) and the mean score of KSS function increased from 50.4(45, 60) before surgery to 84.3(85, 95) after surgery ( P<0.001), both with significant difference ( P<0.05). Similarly, the average postoperative ROM improved from 97.2°±34.4° to 120.1°±10.9°with significant difference ( P<0.05). The postoperative FJS was 81.0±6.6. Up to the last follow-up, the implant survival rate was 98%[95% CI(90.4%, 99.6%)]. For the all four groups of end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases, both the KSS score and the ROM of the knee joint were significantly improved. There was no significant difference in neither the KSS score or the ROM of the knee joint between the ≥60 years old group and the <60 years old group ( P>0.05). The incidence of complications was 24% (13/55). The complication rates for patients with end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases were 12.5% (2/16), 20% (3/15), 25% (3/12), and 41.7% (5/12) respectively, without significant difference. The incidence of complications in elderly patients (85%, 11/13) was much higher than that in younger patients (5%, 2/42),with significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For end-stage deformity of osteoarthritis (valgus or varus >20°), post-traumatic joint deformity, severe joint ligament instability and neuromuscular or immune diseases, the rotating hinge knee can provide good clinical improvement effects. For neuromuscular or immune diseases, the incidence of complications was relatively high. The therapeutic effect of patients over 60 years old showed no significant difference in the early postoperative efficacy compared with younger patients, but the complications of elderly patients were much higher than those of younger patients.

Total hip arthroplasty(THA)is an effective treatment for elderly femoral neck fractures,mid-to late-stage femoral head necrosis,and end-stage hip osteoarthritis.However,serious complications such as aseptic loosening of the prosthesis,peripheral fractures,and dislocation of the prosthesis still exist following THA,which makes the selection of the appropriate hip prosthesis type and placement position before THA an important challenge for surgeons.Currently,the commonly used preoperative planning methods for THA mainly rely on static images from two-dimensional(2D)X-ray or three-dimensional(3D)computed tomography(CT),which fail to adequately consider the hip joint in weight-bearing as well as motion,lumbar-hip joint changes,and prosthetic impingement during motion.Recently,the dual fluoroscopic imaging system,as a new in-vivo,dynamic radiological imaging technology,provides comprehensive and accurate dynamic 3D data for THA preoperative planning.However,the technical process and expert consensus on preoperative 3D planning of THA using a dual fluoroscopic imaging system have not yet been established,which affects the promotion and application of this technology.In light of the above,national orthopaedic experts and related professional representatives discussed and proposed seven consensus issues,and the'expert recommendation rate'and'strong recommendation rate'were obtained through a questionnaire survey on the recommendations of the participating experts.This consensus aims to provide guidance and reference for the standardised application of preoperative 3D planning of THA using the dual fluoroscopic imaging system.

Objective:To assess the clinical efficacy and infection control outcomes of two-stage revision in managing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizing either a low or high constrained prosthesis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 patients who underwent revision TKA in the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from February 2019 to February 2022. According to the type of prosthesis selected in primary TKA, they were divided into low constrained prosthesis group and high constrained prosthesis group. There were 28 patients (28 knees) in the low constrained group, including 12 males and 16 females, aged 69.0(63.0, 74.0) years, with a body mass index of 25.18±0.55 kg/m 2. And there were 12 patients (12 knees) in the high-constrained group, including 5 males and 7 females, aged 66.5(65.0, 71.5) years, with a body mass index of 23.94±0.51 kg/m 2. All patients underwent two-stage revision surgery, with RHK used in 1 case and LCCK in 27 cases in the low-constrained prosthesis group. In the high-constrained prosthesis group, 3 patients were treated with RHK, 1 patient with PFC Sigma MBT, and 8 patients with LCCK. The preoperative and postoperative range of motion (ROM), Knee Society score (KSS), and postoperative infection control rate were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients were followed up. The follow-up time was 22.79±8.02 months in the low-constrained prosthesis group and 23.92±7.04 months in the high-constrained prosthesis group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( t=0.426, P=0.680). At the last follow-up, the KSS and ROM in the low-constrained prosthesis group were 77.96±9.74 and 93.48°±7.45°, respectively, significantly higher than 38.93±8.01 and 68.89°±9.44° before the operation ( P<0.05). The KSS score and ROM in the high-constrained prosthesis group were 67.83±8.31 and 80.08°±5.89° at the last follow-up, which were also significantly higher than those before operation (34.25±6.31 and 66.50°±10.48°, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in KSS and ROM between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05), but the KSS score and ROM in the low-constrained prosthesis group were significantly higher than those in the high-constrained prosthesis group at the last follow-up ( P<0.05). Bacterial culture results revealed that the primary infectious agents were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Staphylococcus aureus, with an overall infection control rate of 80% (32/40). The infection control rate was 89% (25/28) in the low-constrained prosthesis group and 58% (7/12) in the high-constrained prosthesis group, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (χ 2=3.283, P=0.070). Conclusion:Two-stage revision effectively controls PJI, and the clinical outcomes of two-stage revision for PJI after primary TKA with a high-constrained prosthesis are inferior to those with a low-constrained prosthesis. Further exploration is needed to enhance efficacy.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting the relative height change of the patella after primary robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA).Methods:The data of 97 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee treated with R-TKA admitted from June 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 15 males and 82 females, aged 70.0±5.4 years (range, 58-80 years). The bone resection parameters of the robotic system were recorded intraoperatively, including the bone resection amount of the medial and lateral distal femur, medial and lateral posterior femoral condyle and medial and lateral tibial plateau. The Blackburne-Peel index (BPI) and Caton-Deschamps index (CDI) were used to measure the preoperative and postoperative relative patellar height on lateral radiographs, as well as the posterior tibial slope (PTS) and the change in patellar ligament length before and after surgery. The relationship between the change in relative patellar height and the variables of interest was analyzed using partial correlation and multiple linear regression.Results:The mean postoperative CDI was lower than preoperatively (0.79±0.15 vs. 0.91±0.13, t=9.69, P<0.001), and the percentage of patients with postoperative CDI<0.6 was higher than preoperatively (9.3% vs. 0; χ 2=12.92, P<0.001); the differences in mean postoperative BPI and percentage of patients with postoperative BPI<0.45 were not statistically significant compared to preoperatively (0.69±0.13 vs. 0.71±0.17, t=1.35, P=0.182; 11.3% vs. 17.5%, χ 2=1.50, P=0.220). The mean patellar ligament length on the first postoperative day was 2.29 mm shorter than preoperatively, there was a statistically significant difference ( t=5.90, P<0.001). Partial correlation analysis showed that the amount of patellar ligament length change was positively correlated with the amount of BPI and CDI change ( r=0.84, P<0.001; r=0.70, P<0.001), and the amount of PTS change and the mean distal femoral bone resection were negatively correlated with the amount of BPI ( r= -0.41, P<0.001; r=-0.32, P=0.002) and CDI ( r=-0.23, P=0.029; r=-0.25, P=0.017) change. In contrast, the amount of posterior femoral condyle bone resection and tibial plateau bone resection did not correlate with the change of BPI and CDI. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the amount of patellar ligament length change, PTS change and the distal femoral bone resection were factors influencing the change of BPI ( β=0.03, P<0.001; β=-0.01, P<0.001; β=-0.02, P=0.021) and CDI ( β=0.02, P<0.001; β=-0.01, P=0.001; β=-0.02, P=0.008). Conclusion:Amount of patellar ligament length change, PTS change and the distal femoral bone resection are factors affecting the BPI. In order to obtain a better relative patellar height in the primary R-TKA, attention should be paid to the adjustment of the distal femoral bone resection and PTS, while taking the necessary measures to reduce the postoperative patellar ligament length changes.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.

Objective To study the preventive effects of prevention monitoring form for reducing enteral nutrition complications. Methods From January 2013 to December 2013, 58 patients were divided into control group which were used traditional nursing method. From January 2014 to December 2014, 61 cases were in intervention group undergoing prevention monitoring nursing method based on traditional nursing. We compared the differences between these two groups in body quality, C-reactive protein, albumin, prealbumin, complications and patient satisfaction before and after 10 d surgery. Results There were no differences between body quality, C-reactive protein, albumin, prealbumin in these two groups before surgery (P > 0. 05). Compared with the 10th day after surgery, there were significantly higher level of body quality, albumin, prealbumin in the intervention group than those of the control group (P<0. 05), while higher level C-reactive protein in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidences of abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastric retention, reflux, aspiration and aspiration pneumonia, the proportion of blocking pipe were lower in the intervention group than the control group. Patient′s satisfaction rates were 98. 4% and 81. 0% in the intervention group and control group (P<0. 05). Conclusions Prevention monitoring form can decrease the rate of enteral nutrition complications, and improve nutrition, biochemical indexes and patients satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the relationship between pelvic asymmetry and Crowe classification of unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip in adults. Methods According to the inclusion criteria, 100 cases of unilateral DDH in adults were collected, including 78 females and 22 males, with an average age of 56.3 years old (range, 21-79 years). In terms of Crowe classification, there were 30 cases of Crowe typeⅠ, 24 cases of Crowe typeⅡ, 23 cases of Crowe typeⅢ, and 23 cases of CroweⅣ. The normal?side and affected?side pelvic vertical height (the distance from the highest point of the ischial tuberosity to the iliac crest peak) were measured via the radiogram of anteroposterior pelvis. Furthermore, we compared the affected?side pelvic vertical height with the normal?side and analyzed the relationship between Crowe classification and the difference in pelvic verti?cal height. Results The average pelvic vertical height was 23.38±1.46 cm in the normal?side and 22.41±1.38 cm in the affected?side. The average D?value of pelvic vertical height between two sides is 0.98 ± 0.76 cm. From Crowe typeⅠto Ⅳ, the average heights of the normal?side were 22.89±1.09 cm, 23.23±2.07 cm, 23.75±1.16 cm, 23.79±1.22 cm, while those of the affected?side were 22.70 ± 0.98 cm, 22.41 ± 1.98 cm, 22.47 ± 1.12 cm and 21.92 ± 1.32 cm. The average D?values in each group were 0.19 ± 0.37 cm, 0.82±0.43 cm, 1.28±0.32 cm, 1.87±0.59 cm. The differences between the normal?side and the affected?side in each type were statistically significant. The average D?value increased significantly with Crowe type increased, and there was a positive correla?tion between the D?value of bilateral pelvic vertical height and the degree of hip dislocation. Conclusion The pelvic asymmetry does exist in adult patients with unilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip. Moreover, the asymmetry has positive correlation with the degree of hip dislocation.
