RESUMO

Introduction: Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor (20-50%). It is located predominantly in the metaphysis of the long bones, and much less frequently, the proximal femur and acetabulum. Osteochondroma can eventually lead to hip osteoarthritis and limit patients' functional activities. Determining optimal treatment can be difficult due to the high risk of avascular necrosis in surgical resections. Case Report: A 44-year-old male from Sabinas Coahuila, Mexico, a priest by profession, who presents for consultation with right inguinal pain of 18 months' duration. The patient had been treated conservatively with rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and physical therapy without showing improvement in his symptoms. The anteroposterior radiograph of the pelvis and axial tomography showed an oval bone excrescence with well-defined margins in the acetabular and intra-articular region of the hip, which caused a decrease in joint space but without soft tissue infiltration. Tumor resection and total hip replacement were the treatment options. The histopathological study concluded an osteochondroma. After 25 months of post-operative follow-up, radiographic studies show no evidence of lesion recurrence. The functional improvement is 98 points on the Harris scale; the patient typically performs his daily living and work activities. Conclusion: Treating intra-articular osteochondroma of the hip can be challenging for the orthopedic surgeon. For osteochondroma resulting in secondary osteoarthrosis of the hip joint, total hip replacement should be considered an effective method to restore function and assist in returning the patient to previous activities. Thorough pre-operative planning is mandatory to prevent intra- or immediate post-operative risk.

RESUMO

Objective: This study aims to evaluate aspirin as a chemical prophylaxis (200 mg) in total hip arthroplasty. Methods: the study compared two groups and used ultrasonography (USG) to screen for low-deep venous thrombosis. Group 1 received 600 mg (control), and Group 2 received 200 mg of (intervention), associated with the use of elastic compression stockings and early walking. Results: fourteen patients were allocated to Group A (200mg), and 16 to Group B (600mg); in group A (200mg), 3 cases with thrombus below the popliteal vein were detected at the first USG examination. All of them are in the left lower limb (21.4%). In group B (600 mg), 5 cases were identified after the first exam (31.2%). All cases were asymptomatic and followed the protocol with prophylaxis only with Aspirin. Conclusion: In the statistical data, there were no differences in the presence of thrombus between the 200- and 600 mg groups, which is credited to using low-dose aspirin in low doses (200mg). Hematimetric levels returned to baseline levels and suggested there was no chronic or acute bleeding related to the use of aspirin. The manuscript was prepared according to the CONSORT guideline 2010. Level of Evidence I; Longitudinal Randomized Comparative Clinical Study.

Objetivo: Este estudo pretende avaliar a aspirina como profilaxia química (200 mg) na artroplastia total do quadril. Métodos: estudo comparando dois grupos com diferentes doses de aspirina e utilizando a ultrassonografia (USG) para rastreamento da trombose venosa profunda baixa. O grupo 1, 650 mg ao dia de aspirina (controle) e o grupo 2, 200 mg de aspirina ao dia na mesma posologia (intervenção) e associados ao uso de meias elásticas de compressão e deambulação precoce. Resultados: quatorze pacientes foram alocados no grupo A (200 mg) e 16 no grupo B (650 mg). No grupo A foram detectados 3 casos com trombos abaixo da veia poplítea ao USG sendo 21,4%. Já no grupo B, 5 casos foram identificados após o primeiro exame (31,2%). Todos assintomáticos e sem sinais de sangramento ativo ou queda da hematimetria no momento da detecção dos trombos. Conclusão: os dados sugerem não haver diferença na incidência de trombo em ambos os grupos, não sendo a profilaxia com a aspirina dose-dependente. Os níveis hematimétricos retornaram aos níveis iniciais o que sugere não ter havido sangramento crônico ou agudo relacionado ao uso. Nível de Evidência I; Estudo Clínico Randomizado Longitudinal Comparativo.

RESUMO

Objective: Monitoring costs is critical in searching for a more effective healthcare system. This study aimed to comprehend the care pathway and measure the costs associated with hip replacement surgeries in different hospitals in Brazil. Methods: The time-driven activity-based costing method was applied for cost data collection and analyses. Data on 62 patients were retrieved from five public hospitals. A descriptive cost analysis was followed by a comprehensive analysis of the variability in each hospital's care process, leading to suggestions for cost-saving opportunities along with the surgical care pathway. As a final analysis, the cost of surgical treatment was contrasted with the national reimbursement fee. Results: The mean cost per patient of the total sample was $5,784 (MIN-MAX $2,525.9-$9,557.8). Pre- and post-surgery hospitalization periods demonstrated the highest variability in length of time and resource consumption among centers. Compared to the national best practice fee, the average cost per inpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) pathway from all six hospitals was approximately 7x the national reimbursement. Conclusion: The application of the TDABC allowed us to identify differences in the surgical care pathway among hospitals, which could be explored in further studies aimed at designing a benchmark surgical pathway. Differences in how the treatment is delivered to patients also justified the high-cost variability among centers.

Objetivo: O custo do monitoramento é um elemento-chave na busca contínua por um sistema de saúde mais eficaz. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender a trajetória assistencial e mensurar os custos associados às cirurgias de artroplastia do quadril em diferentes hospitais do Brasil. Métodos: O método de custeio baseado em atividades orientado pelo tempo foi aplicado para a coleta e análise de dados de custos. Os dados de 62 pacientes foram recuperados de cinco hospitais públicos. Uma análise descritiva de custos foi seguida por uma análise abrangente da variabilidade no processo de atendimento de cada hospital, levando a sugestões de oportunidades de redução de custos junto com a via de atendimento cirúrgico. Como análise final, o custo do tratamento cirúrgico foi contrastado com o valor de reembolso nacional. Resultados: O custo médio por paciente da amostra total foi de $ 5.784 (MIN-MAX $ 2.525,9-$ 9.557,8). Os períodos de internação pré e pós-operatórios demonstraram a maior variabilidade no tempo e no consumo de recursos entre os centros. Em comparação com o reembolso nacional de melhores práticas, o custo médio por cirurgia de prótese de quadril de paciente internado de todos os seis hospitais foi de aproximadamente 7x o reembolso nacional. Conclusão: A aplicação do TDABC nos permitiu identificar diferenças na via de atendimento cirúrgico entre hospitais, o que poderia ser explorado em estudos futuros que visem projetar uma via cirúrgica de referência. As diferenças na forma como o tratamento está sendo entregue aos pacientes também contribuíram para justificar a alta variabilidade dos custos entre os centros.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) compromises functioning. Total hip replacement (THR) is the indicated treatment and may improve urinary incontinence (UI) and symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). OBJECTIVES: Assess UI, OAB symptoms, and quality of life (QoL) impact in preoperative and postoperative periods of women submitted to THR and investigate associated factors. METHODS: A prospective cohort was conducted with 183 women submitted to THR. The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) and SF-12 questionnaires were administered pre- and 3 and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS: Significant improvements were found in UI and QoL 3- and 6-month postoperatively in the overall sample and in the subgroup with preoperative UI. The multivariate regression revealed that the preoperative ICIQ-SF and ICIQ-OAB final scores were the best predictors of UI 6-month postoperatively. The factors the best predicted the occurrence of UI 6-month following THR were the preoperative ICIQ-OAB scores and preoperative UI. Each unit of increase in the ICIQ-OAB increases the chances of UI by 26.9% and preoperative UI increases the chances of postoperative UI by 18.7-fold. A weak but significant negative correlation was found between the ICIQ-SF score and the SF-12 score. CONCLUSION: Significant improvements in UI, OAB and QoL were found at 3- and 6-month postoperatively. Preoperative ICIQ-SF and ICIQ-OAB final scores were the best predictors of UI at 6 months after surgery. We found significant association between urinary symptoms and THR, but this association is partially explained by current literature.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical-radiological outcomes of the Alteon Neck Preserving Stem (ANPS) (Exactech, Gainesville, FL, USA) implanted in four different centres by five senior hip surgeons with a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We conducted a multicentre prospective study that analysed 155 consecutive total hip replacements during 2014. We performed clinical-radiological analysis measuring Harris Hip Score (HHS), subjective satisfaction evaluation, radiolucencies, position of components, limb length discrepancy, heterotopic ossification, medical and surgical complications and a survival analysis at 5 years follow-up. RESULTS: Thigh pain was reported in 5 cases (3.2%), 2 of which reported mild pain, 2 moderate, and 1 severe. In 2 cases, subsidences of 3 mm were detected in the first scheduled X-ray, both related to intraoperative fractures with no progression after 3 months. The overall complication rate was 5.8% and 6 of the 9 complications were in the first 30 cases. Mean HHS improved from 42.9 points (range 37.2-55.7 points) preoperatively to 94.9 on average (range 87-98) at the end of the follow-up (p <0.01). Subjective evaluation was excellent in 130 (83.87%) cases and good in 25 patients (16.13%). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical-radiographic results of ANPS THR are satisfactory. The mid-term results are promising. However, long-term follow-up studies are necessary to confirm the validity of the concept.

RESUMO

Introducción: La luxación de la prótesis total de cadera puede afectar los resultados del implante, la calidad de vida del paciente, y el costo del proceso. Su etiología es multifactorial. Objetivos: Identificar posibles factores de riesgo relacionados con la aparición de luxación en prótesis total de cadera en una serie de casos. Métodos: En una serie de 2732 prótesis total de cadera, en la que hubo 92 luxaciones (3,4 por ciento), se compararon factores relacionados con el paciente, el implante, y la técnica quirúrgica uilizada en el Hospital La Paz-IDIPaz de Madrid entre los años 2000 y 2016. Se utilizó el análisis de regresión para la significación de dichos factores. Resultados: De las 92 luxaciones, 62 fueron tratadas de manera conservadora (67,4 por ciento) y 30 pacientes precisaron de cirugía de revisión (32,6 por ciento). El estudio multivariado mostró significación estadística en los siguientes factores de riesgo: estado de la columna lumbar (p < 0,001), y una pobre reconstrucción del centro de rotación de la cadera (p= 0,035), y cúpulas posicionadas fuera de las ventanas de Lewinnek (p < 0,001) y del mecanismo abductor (p < 0,001) en relación con la técnica quirúrgica. No hubo factores significativos en relación con el tipo de implante, diámetro de la cabeza femoral o par de fricción. Conclusiones: La patología lumbar aumenta el riesgo de luxación en la prótesis total de cadera. Una adecuada reconstrucción de la cadera, que incluya la posición de la cúpula y el centro de rotación de la cadera, así como del mecanismo abductor ayudaría a mejorar la tasa de inestabilidad(AU)

Introduction: The dislocation of the total hip replacement can affect the results of the implant, the quality of life of the patient, and the cost of the process. Its etiology is multifactorial. Objectives: To identify possible risk factors related to the appearance of dislocation in total hip replacement in a series of cases. Methods: In a series of 2732 total hip prostheses, in which there were 92 dislocations (3.4percent), factors related to the patient, the implant, and the surgical technique used at La Paz-IDIPaz Hospital in Madrid were compared, from 2000 to 2016. Regression analysis was used for the significance of these factors. Results: Out of 92 dislocations, 62 were treated conservatively (67.4 percent) and 30 patients required revision surgery (32.6 pecent). The multivariate study showed statistical significance in the following risk factors: state of the lumbar spine (p <0.001), and poor reconstruction of the center of rotation of the hip (p = 0.035), and domes positioned outside Lewinnek windows (p <0.001) and the abductor mechanism (p <0.001) in relation to the surgical technique. There were no significant factors in relation to the type of implant, diameter of the femoral head or friction torque. Conclusions: Lumbar pathology increases the risk of dislocation in total hip replacement. Proper hip reconstruction, including the position of the dome and the center of rotation of the hip, as well as the abductor mechanism, would help to improve the rate of instability(AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: When approaching a joint replacement procedure, pre-surgical planning is essential to predict an accurate estimation of implant size and position. There are currently two methods to achieve it, analog and digital. The present study aims to demonstrate how the hybrid technique is accurate and precise for pre-surgical planning in a non-cemented total hip replacement. METHODS: Concordance-type study is used against a gold standard, as well as inter- and intra-observer consistency evaluation of two orthopedic surgeons and two orthopedic surgery residents. Accuracy was calculated with the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Afterwards, the same calculation was done considering a margin of error with one size more and one less. RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients were included in the study: 19 women and 19 men. Twenty-two prostheses (57.89%) were right-sided and 16 were left (42.11%). Twelve prostheses (31.57%) were Stryker and 26 Johnson & Johnson (68.43%). Acetabular cup correlation compared with the gold standard was moderate: ICC reported 0.45 (95% CI, 0.15-0.76). When adjusted by ± 1 size, ICC was 0.48 (95% CI, 0.18-0.79). On the other hand, results from the femoral stem reported ICC 0.85 (95% CI, 0.07-0.98). When adjusted by ± 1 size, ICC was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.06-0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Hybrid templating is a reliable substitute for analog or digital planning. It is quick, inexpensive, accurate, and better results are observed in the femoral component regardless the level of expertise of the evaluator. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Grade IV.
