The objectives of this study were to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of prophylactic cefazolin (CFZ) from its serum and hip joint capsule concentrations in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty, and to establish pharmacodynamic target concentration exceeding the MIC for designing an effective dosing regimen for serum and the hip joint capsule. We analyzed 249 serum samples and 125 hip joint capsule samples from 125 individuals using a nonlinear mixed-effects model. The pharmacodynamic index target value obtained from our results indicates the probability of maintaining CFZ trough and hip joint capsule concentrations exceeding the MIC of 1 mg/L, to account for methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA). We estimated the population pharmacokinetics using a two-compartment model. The estimated population pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: CL (L/h) = 1.46 × (CLcr (mL/min)/77)0.891, Vc (L) = 7.5, Q (L/h) = 3.38, and VJC (L) = 36.1. The probability of achieving concentrations exceeding the MIC90 for MSSA was approximately 100% for serum and 100% for the hip joint capsule at 3 h after the initial dose. Our findings suggest that population-based parameters are useful for evaluating CFZ pharmacokinetics and that individual dosages should be determined based on the dosage regimen that achieves and maintains adequate tissue CFZ concentration.

Introduction: The Chiari pelvic osteotomy (CPO) has been recommended as a salvage procedure to improve head coverage in case of hip joint incongruence in paediatric hip disease. In this study, we aimed to assess the long-term results of CPO for severe Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). Methods: A total of 39 patients who underwent a CPO at our department between 1995 and 2010 were prospectively followed both radiologically (Stulberg classification) and clinically (Harris Hip Score [HHS], conversion into total hip arthroplasty). In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 12 hips (12 patients, 3 girls, 8 left hips) treated by CPO for severe LCPD (Catterall grade 3 or 4) with hip joint incongruence. Mean follow-up was 14.0 (range 7.6–21.3) years. Results: Mean age at surgery was 10.2 (range 8.2–17.8) years. Additional femoral osteotomy was performed in 8 patients. A good radiological result (Stulberg I or II) was achieved in 2 patients, a fair result (Stulberg III) in 4 patients, and a poor outcome (Stulberg IV or V) in 6 patients. Mean postoperative HHS averaged 93 (range 65–100) points. An excellent functional outcome (HHS 90–100 points) was achieved in 9 patients. No patient underwent total hip arthroplasty during follow-up. Postoperative limb-length discrepancy was found in 3 patients. Conclusions: CPO for severe LCPD with hip joint incongruence resulted in good long-term clinical outcome in about ⅔ of our patients after a mean of 14 years. Our results suggest that CPO can still be considered as a salvage joint-conserving procedure in this selected group of younger patients.

Background. Conservative treatment options for hip dysplasia and hip dislocation in early childhood allow for good results in cases of a timely diagnosis. The preferred treatment option for patients with hip dislocation in adulthood is total hip joint replacement. The shortening osteotomy, proposed by T. Paavilainen, allows the surgeon to restore the difference in the lengths of the lower extremities during arthroplasty of the hip joint. However, according to the results of the Paavilainen technique, as presented by Russian orthopedic surgeons, the problem of nonunion of the greater trochanter fragment with the diaphysis of the femur remains unresolved, as evidenced by a massive group of clinical cases. Aim. The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting the consolidation of bone fragments after osteotomy of the greater trochanter, according to T. Paavilainen, during total hip arthroplasty and evaluate their significance after fixation with cerclage screws in comparison with a special trochanteric fork-plate. Materials and methods. The present study includes 208 cases that were treated at the Russian Scientific Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after R.R. Vreden from 2003 to 2019 using various fixation techniques of the greater trochanter fragment. Patients were divided into two groups depending on their type of fixation. The quality of consolidation of a greater trochanter fragment with the femur was assessed during a follow-up period of six months or longer. The fragment of the greater trochanter was divided into the part that was not in contact with the diaphysis, or A, and the part that was in contact with the diaphysis, or B. We assessed the effect of the absolute value of the contact between fragments, the B/A ratio, the distance between the points of insertion of the screws into the diaphyseal part of the femur, the quality of the bone by the modified Barnet-Nordin index, and the history of previous surgical interventions on this joint on the consolidation. Results. When the part of the greater trochanter was in contact with the diaphysis of the femur (B) was less than 3.5 cm, the risk ratio of nonunion of the greater trochanter fragment with the diaphysis of the femur increased. Also, a significant factor is the index of the contact of the greater trochanter fragment (B/A less than 1) with the diaphysis of the femur using the T. Paavilainen technique. In addition, the presence of surgical intervention in the hip joint history significantly increases the relative risk (RR) of nonunion of the greater trochanter fragment with the diaphysis of the femur with this method of shortening osteotomy of the femur. Conclusion. In the absence of timely diagnosis and conservative treatment of children with hip dislocation, reconstructive-plastic techniques on the hip joint do not allow the achievement of proper results and increase the complexity of total hip arthroplasty. According to the results of this study, the absolute value of the contact between fragments (B), the index of the greater trochanter contact with the diaphysis of the femur, and the history of previous surgical intervention on this joint are objective tools for the prognostic assessment of the probability of fragment unions during total hip arthroplasty with the T. Paavilainen technique.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for poliomyelitis is a problematic procedure due to difficulty in positioning the cup of the prosthesis in the true acetabulum and the risk of dislocation after THA due to the low muscle tone. Methods: We herein present a case of bilateral hip pain with a history of poliomyelitis. Radiograph showed bilateral hip osteoarthritis caused by hip dysplasia due to residual poliomyelitis in right hip joint or developing dysplasia of the hip joint in left hip joint. THA was performed to bilateral hip joints. Results: Six years after bilateral THA, bilateral hip pain significantly improved. Additionally, the muscle strength on the paralyzed right side partially improved. However, the muscle strength on the non-paralyzed left side did not significantly improve. No complications related to the surgery were observed. Conclusion: Promising early results were obtained for THA in our patient with residual poliomyelitis. However, surgeons should pay attention to the potential development of complications concerning THA that may arise due to the residual poliomyelitis.

This chapter discusses the goals, procedure, and potential outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients may be candidates for a THA when they have severe arthritis of their hip(s) (degeneration of cartilage covering the ends of the bones creating the hip joint). Arthritic hip pain is often progressive and gets worse as the cartilage continues to deteriorate. Typically, at the time a patient seeks hip arthroplasty, his or her quality of life has become very compromised. In a total hip arthroplasty, damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. THA can be performed under neuraxial anesthesia (spinal or epidural) or general anesthesia or a combination of both.

AbstractIn Japan, tuberculosis has been recognized as one of the major infections requiring urgent measures because of its high morbidity rate even now especially in elderly people suffering from tuberculosis during the past epidemic and its reactivation. Hence, many Japanese clinicians have made efforts to suppress the onset of tuberculosis and treat it effectively. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify covariate(s) that may explain the variation of rifampicin, which is the key antitubercular agent, under the steady-state by evaluating its population pharmacokinetics and (2) to propose an appropriate dosing method of rifampicin to Japanese patients. For this purpose, serum concentration–time data were obtained from 138 patients receiving rifampicin (300–450 mg) and isoniazid (300–400 mg) every day over 14 days, and analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects model. Thereby, population pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated followed by elucidating relations between the parameters and statistical factors. The analysis adopted one-compartment model including Lag-time by assuming that the absorption process is 0+1st order. The analyses demonstrate that meal affected the bioavailability, primary absorption rate constant, and zero order absorption time in the constructed model. A body weight calculated from the power model was selected as the covariate by the Stepwise Covariate Model method and found to highly affect the clearance in the range from −31.6% to 47.4%. We conclude that the dose in Japanese tuberculous patients can be well estimated by the power model formula and should be taken into consideration when rifampicin is administered.
