Abstract Decreased femoral anteversion is an often overlooked factor in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), with potential to exacerbate both cam and pincer type impingement, or itself be the primary cause. Femoral de-rotation osteotomy (FDO) is a surgical option for symptomatic patients with such underlying bony deformity. This study aimed to investigate outcomes of FDO for management of symptomatic FAI in the presence of decreased (<5°) femoral anteversion. Secondary aims were to describe the surgical technique and assess complications. This study included 33 cases (29 patients) with average pre-operative anteversion measuring –3.1° (true retroversion). At an average follow-up of 1.5 years (19.8 months), 97% reported significant improvement. The overall average post-operative International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) score of 70.6 points (r: 23–98) compared to the average pre-operative score of 42.8 points (r: 0–56) for the 11 patients with available pre-operative scores suggests an overall improvement. The minimal clinically important difference for the iHOT-33 is 6.1 points. Patients with both pre- and post-operative iHOT-33 scores available demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant improvement of 37.7 (r: 13–70) points. There were three cases (9%) of delayed union and two cases (6%) of non-union early in the series which prompted evolution of the technique. Locking screw removal was performed in 33% of patients for a resultant overall re-operation rate of 45%. The findings suggest improvement in patient-reported outcomes can be achieved with FDO for symptomatic FAI in the setting of decreased femoral anteversion (<5°).

Background: The influence of femoral torsion on clinically significant outcome improvement after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has not been well-studied. Purpose: To quantify femoral torsion in FAIS patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explore the relationship between femoral torsion and clinically significant outcome improvement after hip arthroscopy. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS between January 2012 and August 2018 and had 2-year follow-up and preoperative MRI scans containing transcondylar slices of the knee. Participants were categorized as having severe retrotorsion (SR; <0°), normal torsion (NT; 0°-25°), and severe antetorsion (SA; >25°) as measured on MRI. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) included the Hip Outcome Score–Activities of Daily Living, Hip Outcome Score–Sports Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction. Achievement of Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) were analyzed among cohorts. Results: Included were 183 patients (SR, n = 13; NT, n = 154; SA, n = 16) with a mean age, body mass index, and femoral torsion of 30.6 ± 12.1 years, 24.0 ± 4.4 kg/m2, and 12.55° ± 9.58°, respectively. The mean torsion was –4.5° ± 2.6° for the SR, 12.1° ± 6.8° for the NT, and 31.0° ± 3.6° for the SA group. There were between-group differences in the proportion of patients who achieved PASS and SCB on the iHOT-12, pain VAS, and any PRO ( P < .05). Post hoc analysis indicated that the SA group achieved lower rates of PASS and SCB on the iHOT-12 and pain VAS, and lower rates of PASS on any PRO versus the SR group ( P < .05); the SR group achieved higher rates of PASS and SCB on pain VAS scores versus the NT group ( P = .003). Conclusion: The orientation and severity of femoral torsion during hip arthroscopy influenced the propensity for clinically significant outcome improvement. Specifically, patients with femoral retrotorsion and femoral antetorsion had higher and lower rates of clinically significant outcome improvement, respectively.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess improvement in bladder function and quality of life using Australian Pelvic floor questionnaire as Patient Reported Outcome tool following anterior repair and urethral buttressing for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with prolapse using polydioxanone sutures. Material and Methods: This was the prospective review of retrospective data. The data were collected through telephone or postal questionnaire by an independent researcher who was not involved in the patient care directly and analyzed with Stata (14.2). Results: About 78% (61/78) of women responded to the questionnaires. Statistically significant improvement in bladder function scores was noted after surgery (5.12 ± 2.06 vs. 3.69 ± 2.26; P = 0.001) along with an overall improvement in the quality of life scores (17.88 ± 8.03 vs. 11.56 ± 9.01; P = 0.005) at mean follow-up of 31 months. Overall, 54% patients reported improvement in their symptoms. The re-operation rate for second continence procedure for SUI was 1/61 (1.6%). Conclusion: This procedure can be offered to patients as a treatment option for SUI with prolapse.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of prior lower extremity surgery on patient reported outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Consecutive patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS and a prior history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery were identified and matched 2:1 by age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) to controls without a history of lower extremity surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were calculated for HOS–ADL, HOS–SS, and mHHS. Preoperative and 2-year postoperative patient reported outcomes of both groups were compared, and logistic regression was performed to determine whether lower extremity surgery influenced achieving MCID and PASS. A total of 102 patients (24.94%) with prior history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery were identified. Ipsilateral orthopaedic knee surgery accounted for more than half (53.92%) of all prior surgeries. Patients with a history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery had significant lower 2-year PROs, satisfaction, and greater pain when compared to patients without lower extremity surgery (P &lt; 0.001 all). A history of ipsilateral lower extremity surgery was a negative predictor of achieving MCID for HOS–ADL and HOS–SS, as well as PASS for HOS–ADL, HOS–SS, and mHHS (P &lt; 0.001 all). In conclusion, patients with prior lower extremity surgery were found to have inferior outcome scores and a lower likelihood of achieving clinically significant outcome improvement compared to patients without a history of lower extremity surgery at two years postoperatively.

Background: There has been increasing interest in defining clinically meaningful outcomes in patient reported outcomes following orthopaedic surgery. Little is known about the factors associated with clinically meaningful outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Purpose: To report on a large, prospectively collected consecutive series of patients who underwent comprehensive arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and capsular management with greater than 2-year follow-up. The objectives were to determine (1) what percentage of patients achieve clinically significant outcomes after hip arthroscopic surgery for FAI as determined by the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) and (2) what factors are associated with achieving the MCID and PASS. Methods: Data from an institutional repository of consecutive patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopic surgery with routine capsular closure for FAI that had failed nonsurgical management between January 2012 and January 2014 were prospectively collected and analyzed. Of 474 patients during the enrollment period, 386 (81.4%) patients were available for a minimum 2-year follow-up. Demographics, radiographic measurements, intraoperative characteristics, and patient-reported outcome scores were collected. The primary outcome measure was achieving published thresholds for the MCID and PASS for the Hip Outcome Score (HOS)–Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in patients with FAI. The HOS–Sport-Specific Subscale (SSS), complications, and reoperations were secondary outcome measures. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with achieving the MCID and PASS. Results: At a minimum of 2-year follow-up, the patients had statistically significant improvements in all patient-reported outcomes (HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, and modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS]; P < .001 for all), with a 1.2% rate of revision hip arthroscopic surgery and 1.7% rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty. The MCID was achieved by 78.8% of patients for the HOS-ADL, and the PASS was achieved by 62.5% for the HOS-ADL. Younger age ( P = .008), Tönnis grade 0 ( P = .022), and lower preoperative HOS-ADL score ( P < .001) were associated with successfully achieving the MCID for the HOS-ADL. Younger age ( P < .001), larger medial joint space width ( P = .028), and higher preoperative HOS-ADL score ( P < .001) were associated with achieving the PASS for the HOS-ADL. Younger age ( P < .001), lower body mass index ( P = .006), non–workers’ compensation status ( P = .020), and lower preoperative HOS-SSS score ( P < .001) were associated with achieving the MCID for the HOS-SSS. Younger age ( P = .001), Tönnis grade 0 ( P = .014), running ( P = .008), and higher preoperative HOS-SSS score ( P < .001) were associated with achieving the PASS for the HOS-SSS. Overall, 49.4% of patients achieved all 4 clinically significant outcomes: both the MCID and PASS for the HOS-ADL and HOS-SSS. Conclusion: The majority of patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery with routine capsular closure for FAI experienced clinically significant outcomes that met the MCID or PASS criteria, with low rates of revision and conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Factors associated with these successful outcomes on multivariate analyses included younger age with a normal joint space. Patients with lower preoperative HOS scores were more likely to achieve the MCID, whereas patients with higher preoperative HOS scores were more likely to achieve the PASS.

Background: As health care moves toward a value-based payment system, it will be important that patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) define variations in outcome over a follow-up period that allows a patient to achieve maximal improvement. Although there is evidence to support the use of PROMs to assess postoperative outcomes after hip arthroscopy, there is limited information available to assess for variations in outcome at a 2-year follow-up interval. Purpose: To identify substantial clinical benefit (SCB) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) cutoff scores for the 12-item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12) that define patient status across a spectrum of potential outcomes after hip arthroscopy at a 2-year follow-up interval. Study design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: These data were collected from a research registry of patients having hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and/or chondrolabral pathology. On initial assessment and 2 years (±2 months) postoperatively, patients completed the iHOT-12, and categorical self-rating of function. They also completed a visual analog scale of postoperative satisfaction. Receiver operator characteristic analysis was performed to determine absolute SCB iHOT-12 scores associated with an “abnormal,”“nearly normal,” or “normal” self-report of function, and PASS scores for those reporting at least 50%, at least 75%, or 100% satisfaction with their surgery. Results: Out of 723 eligible patients, 658 (91%) met the inclusion criteria. The patients consisted of 462 (70%) women and 196 (30%) men, with a mean age of 35.3 years (SD, 13 years) and mean follow-up of 722 days (SD, 69 days). Absolute SCB and PASS iHOT-12 scores ranging from 38 to 86 were accurate in identifying those who had abnormal, nearly normal, and normal self-reported function and were at least 50%, at least 75%, and 100% satisfied with surgery. The areas under the curve were >0.70, with sensitivity and specificity values ranging from 0.78 to 0.92. Conclusion: This study provides absolute SCB and PASS iHOT-12 cutoff scores that can be used to define variations in 2-year (±2 months) outcomes in patients after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and chondrolabral pathology. iHOT-12 scores of 38, 60, and 86 were associated with abnormal, nearly normal, and normal reports of function respectively, with scores of 60, 71, and 86 associated with at least 50%, at least 75%, and 100% satisfaction after surgery, respectively.

ObjectivesTo define fatigue trajectories in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who initiate biological DMARD (bDMARD) treatment, and explore baseline predictors for a trajectory of continued fatigue.MethodsOne-hundred and eighty-four patients with RA initiating bDMARDs were assessed at 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. Swollen and tender joint counts, patient reported outcomes (PROMs), blood samples and ultrasound examinations were collected at each time point. Fatigue was assessed by the fatigue Numeric Rating Scale (0–10) from the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) questionnaire. Clinically significant fatigue was predefined as fatigue ≥4. Three trajectories of interest were defined according to level of RAID fatigue: no fatigue (≤3 at 5/6 visits), improved fatigue (≥4 at start, but ≤3 at follow-up) and continued fatigue (≥4 at 5/6 visits). Baseline variables were compared between groups by bivariate analyses, and logistic regression models were used to explore baseline predictors of continued vs improved fatigue.ResultsThe majority of patients starting bDMARD therapy followed one of three fatigue trajectories, (no fatigue; n=61, improved; n=33 and continued fatigue; n=53). Patients with continued fatigue were more likely to be anti–citrullinated protein antibody and/or rheumatoid factor positive and had higher baseline PROMs compared to the other groups, while there were no differences between the groups for variables of inflammation including. Patient global, tender joint count and anxiety were predictors for the continued fatigue trajectory.DiscussionA trajectory of continued fatigue was determined by PROMs and not by inflammatory RA disease activity.

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: In the last two decades, total ankle replacement (TAR) has gained more acceptance as a treatment option in patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. However, there is a lack of literature on TAR using a lateral transfibular approach. Therefore, we sought to report early clinical and radiographic results of a patient cohort treated with TAR using a lateral transfibular approach by a single surgeon. Methods: Fifty-five primary total ankle arthroplasties using the Zimmer trabecular metal implant were performed in 54 patients (29 men and 25 women; mean age, 67.0 years) from October 2012 to December 2014. Clinical assessment including pain evaluation and measurement of ankle range of motion was done preoperatively and at the latest follow-up. Weight-bearing radiographs were used to determine the angular alignment of the tibial and talar components and to analyze the bone-implant interface. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, revision surgeries, and failures were evaluated. Results: Implant survival was 93% at 36 months follow-up. There were 3 revisions of a tibial component due to aseptic loosening. In 10 of 55 procedures, a secondary procedure was performed during follow-up. Mean follow-up duration was 26.6 ± 4.2 months. No delayed union or non-union was observed for fibula healing. The average VAS pain score decreased significantly from 7.9 ± 1.3 to 0.8 ± 1.2. The average total range of motion increased significantly from 22.9° ± 11.8° to 40.2° ± 11.8°. Conclusion: Early results of Zimmer trabecular metal total ankle replacement demonstrated improved patient-reported outcomes and increased ankle motion at a minimum follow-up of one year. In the first 55 consecutive cases, the fibular osteotomy required for access to the ankle healed without complications. Painful early loosening requiring revision due to lack of bony ingrowth was seen in 3 of 55 cases.
