Background: Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) can be used for joint preservation in symptomatic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). 1 of the most common procedures following PAO is hardware removal. The aims of this study were to determine the rate of hardware removal and patient characteristics associated with this outcome following PAO. Methods: Data from a prospectively-collected registry was retrospectively reviewed at one institution managing DDH or FAI patients with PAO from July 2008–December 2015. Patients who completed preoperative and postoperative patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires with minimum 1-year follow-up were evaluated, resulting in 221 patients followed for a mean of 2.8 years (range 1.0–7.7 years). There were 80% women, mean age was 25 years and mean body mass index (BMI) was 25 kg/m2. Fully-threaded 4.5-mm screws were used for internal fixation. Results: Hardware removal occurred in 30 patients (13.6%) at a mean of 1.0 years after PAO. Patients undergoing hardware removal were younger (mean age 20.4 vs. 26.3 years), thinner (mean BMI 22.2 vs. 25.1), had less severe dysplasia (DDH patients only: mean lateral centre-edge angle 21.0 vs. 16.2, mean Tönnis angle 12.9 vs. 16.8), and were more likely to have PAO for FAI (33% vs. 11%) compared to patients with retained hardware. At final follow-up, multivariable analysis demonstrated a trend toward inferior patient reported outcomes in the hardware removal group. Conclusions: This study defines the incidence and characteristics of patients undergoing hardware removal after PAO and demonstrates similar outcomes to patients who do not require hardware removal.

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. Results There was no significant difference in PROMs for moderate (p = 0.167) or severe (p = 0.708) groups compared with the mild dysplasia group. The numerical pain scores were between 2 and 3 units in all groups at the final follow-up (all, p > 0.05). There was no significant difference (all, p > 0.05) in the proportion of patients achieving target correction for the LCEA between groups. The mean correction was 12° in the mild, 15° in the moderate (p = 0.135), and 23° in the severe group (p < 0.001). Failure-free survival at five years was 100% for mild, 79% for moderate, and 92% for severely dysplastic hips (p = 0.225). Conclusion Although requiring less correction than hips with moderate or severe dysplasia, we found PAO for mild dysplasia to be associated with promising PROMs, consistent with that of the general United States population, and excellent survivorship at five years. Future studies should compare these results with the outcome after arthroscopy of the hip in patients with mild dysplasia. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B(6 Supple B):16–22.

Abstract Data on outcome in patients with acetabular retroversion (AR) treated with reverse periacetabular osteotomy (reverse PAO) are sparse. The aim of the study was to investigate changes in pain and hip function among patients with AR 2 years after reverse PAO and to examine whether changes in pain were associated with changes in hip function. In addition, to evaluate patient satisfaction and changes in quality of life (QoL). We present a prospective follow-up study with patient-reported outcome data from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. Pain at rest and during activity was measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), hip function with the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and QoL with the Short-Form 36, pre-operatively and 2 years after reverse PAO in 74 patients. Changes were analysed using paired t-test and multiple linear regressions. Significant and clinically relevant mean improvements in pain and hip function were found. The numbers of responders achieving a minimal clinically important difference varied from 51 to 73%. Positive significant association between changes in pain and changes in hip function were found. Significant mean improvement in QoL was found. The study had a loss to follow-up of 23%. Two years after reverse PAO, patients diagnosed with AR showed significant and clinically relevant mean improvements in pain and hip function. Decreased pain was significantly associated with improved hip function. The majority of patients were satisfied with the result of surgery and QoL was similar to the Danish background population.

Background: Although the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is often missed, outcomes from surgical intervention significantly improve patient satisfaction. This article seeks to highlight patient characteristics, intraoperative findings, and both short and long-term outcomes of thoracic outlet decompression in the adolescent population. Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients between the ages of 13 and 21 years with a clinical diagnosis of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) who were treated surgically between 2000 and 2015 was performed. Data points including preoperative patient characteristics and intraoperative findings were collected. In addition, patient-reported outcome scores, including Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire, Cervical Brachial Symptom Questionnaire (CBSQ), and NTOS index, were obtained for a cohort of patients with follow-up ranging from 2 to 15 years. Results: The study population consisted of 54 patients involving 61 extremities. The most common procedures included neurolysis of the supraclavicular brachial plexus (60, 98.4%), anterior scalenectomy (59, 96.7%), and middle scalenectomy (54, 88.5%). First rib resection (FRR) was performed in 28 patients (45.9%). Long-term outcomes were collected for 24 (44%) of 54 patients with an average follow-up of 69.5 months (range, 24-180 months). The average VAS improved from 7.5 preoperatively to 1.8 postoperatively. The average SANE increased from 28.9 preoperatively to 85.4 postoperatively. The average postoperative scores were 11.4 for the QuickDASH, 27.4 for the CBSQ, and 17.2 for the NTOS index. Subgroup analysis of patients having FRR (28, 45.9%) demonstrated no difference in clinical outcome measures compared with patients who did not have FRR. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of NTOS in adolescent patients has favorable intermediate and long-term outcomes.

AimsThe aims of this study were to review the surgical technique for a combined femoral head reduction osteotomy (FHRO) and periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), and to report the short-term clinical and radiological results of a combined FHRO/PAO for the treatment of selected severe femoral head deformities.Patients and MethodsBetween 2011 and 2016, six female patients were treated with a combined FHRO and PAO. The mean patient age was 13.6 years (12.6 to 15.7). Clinical data, including patient demographics and patient-reported outcome scores, were collected prospectively. Radiologicalally, hip morphology was assessed evaluating the Tönnis angle, the lateral centre to edge angle, the medial offset distance, the extrusion index, and the alpha angle.ResultsThe mean follow-up was 3.3 years (2 to 4.6). The modified Harris Hip Score improved by 33.0 points from 53.5 preoperatively to 83.4 postoperatively (p = 0.03). The Western Ontario McMasters University Osteoarthritic Index score improved by 30 points from 62 preoperatively to 90 postoperatively (p = 0.029). All radiological parameters showed significant improvement. There were no long-term disabilities and none of the hips required early conversion to total hip arthroplasty.ConclusionFHRO combined with a PAO resulted in clinical and radiological improvement at short-term follow-up, suggesting it may serve as an appropriate salvage treatment option for selected young patients with severe symptomatic hip deformities.

ABSTRACT It is unclear whether treatment of intraarticular pathology should be performed during periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) to improve outcomes. Therefore, we asked: (i) What are the clinical results of PAO in patients with and without intraarticular intervention? (ii) Is there a difference in reoperations with and without intraarticular intervention? and (iii) Is there a difference in clinical results and reoperations depending on preoperative Tönnis Grade if intraarticular intervention is performed? Prospective evaluation of 161 PAO in 146 patients was performed. The cohort was 84.5% female, mean age was 26.7 ± 7.9 years and mean follow-up was 2.4 years; 112 hips had Grade 0 changes and 49 hips had Grade 1 changes. Patients were classified into three groups based on treatments during PAO: major (labral repair, femoral head–neck osteochondroplasty), minor (labral debridement, femoral/acetabular chondroplasty) or no intervention. A subset of eight patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) was analyzed to determine whether the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was achieved. Major, minor and no intervention groups exceeded the MCID in 5, 8 and 8, of 8 PROMs (P ≥ 0.20), respectively; intraarticular interventions did not influence reoperation-free survival (P ≥ 0.35). By Tönnis Grade, PROMs exceeding MCID decreased in Grade 1 versus 0 receiving no intervention (P &lt; 0.001) but did not decrease for either intervention (P ≥ 0.14); intraarticular interventions did not influence reoperation-free survival (P ≥ 0.38). Overall, intraarticular intervention was associated with excellent PROMs and reoperation-free survival. Although Grade 1 patients had fewer PROM which achieved MCID, intraarticular interventions attenuated this decrease, suggesting a therapeutic advantage of intraarticular procedures for more advanced pathology.

Background: Characteristics of responders, or those who achieve a clinical improvement above the level of a minimal clinically important difference, have not been defined for total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The purpose of this study was to determine patient characteristics that distinguish possible responders from possible nonresponders after TAA using criteria established for other arthroplasty surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing TAA who were enrolled into a prospective study at a single academic center evaluating patient-reported outcomes were included. Patients were characterized as possible responders if the relative or absolute improvement in their 2-year follow-up Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) function score was at least 50% or 20, respectively, compared with their preoperative score, consistent with Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OMERACT-OARSI) responder criteria. Patient factors were then associated with possible responder or nonresponder status and a multivariable analysis was performed. A total of 491 patients with complete data and 2-year follow-up were included in this study. Results: Multivariable analysis demonstrated that a higher baseline 36-Item Short-Form Survey (SF-36) mental component summary (MCS) score (OR [95% CI], 1.02 [1.01, 1.04]; P = .003), indicating better mental health, was associated with being a possible responder to TAA. The presence of rheumatic disease (OR [95% CI], 0.38 [0.22, 0.67]; P = .001) was a significant predictor of being a possible nonresponder. Conclusion: Our data reveal that a higher baseline SF-36 MCS score was associated with increased improvement in SMFA function scores, while rheumatic disease was associated with worse improvement in SMFA function scores after TAA. Patients with rheumatic disease or poor mental health may not achieve as favorable results after TAA and should be counseled appropriately. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Abstract Background Results following carpometacarpal (CMC) arthrodesis of the thumb for osteoarthritis vary widely in literature. Data on long-term patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) after thumb CMC joint arthrodesis for osteoarthritis are scarce. Purpose We report the long-term outcomes of PROMs (function, pain, and satisfaction) after arthrodesis of the thumb CMC joint. We evaluated the correlation of function and pain with patient satisfaction. Methods Long-term PROMs after thumb CMC arthrodesis for osteoarthritis were evaluated using a retrospective cohort (1996–2015). Three different PROM questionnaires (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire, Dutch Language version [DASH-DLV], the Patient-Related Wrist and Hand Questionnaire Dutch Language version [PRWHE-DLV], and a questionnaire concerning satisfaction) were sent to all patients. Results Twenty-five arthrodeses (21 patients) were available for long-term follow-up. The median follow-up time was 10.8 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 9.7–13.0). The median DASH score was 29.2 (IQR: 14.4–38.3), median PRWHE score was 25.0 (IQR: 12.5–44.3). The median satisfaction after the operation and satisfaction with outcome of the operation was 10 for both (on a Likert's scale with 1 worse and 10 excellent satisfaction). There was a statistically significant correlation between the PRWHE total score and PRWHE pain score and satisfaction with surgery and satisfaction with the result. There was no correlation between PRWHE function score and satisfaction or DASH and satisfaction. Results after hardware removal showed no significant differences compared with patients without hardware removal. Conclusion Patients who underwent arthrodesis for thumb CMC osteoarthritis showed high satisfaction at long-term follow-up, despite moderate results as measured using the DASH and PRWHE. The PRWHE total and PRWHE pain scores correlated significantly with satisfaction with surgery and satisfaction with the result, respectively, whereas no correlation was observed with the PRWHE function score or DASH and satisfaction. This therapeutic study reflects level of evidence IV.

Clinical Benefits

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, multi-organ genetic disease. Ivacaftor, a small-molecule CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator, was the first medication to treat the underlying cause of CF. Since its approval, real-world clinical experience on the use of ivacaftor has been documented in large registries and smaller studies. Here, we systematically review data from real-world observational studies of ivacaftor treatment in people with CF (pwCF). Searches of MEDLINE and Embase identified 368 publications reporting real-world studies that enrolled six or more pwCF treated with ivacaftor published between January 2012 and September 2019. Overall, 75 publications providing data from 57 unique studies met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Studies reporting within-group change for pwCF treated with ivacaftor consistently showed improvements in lung function, nutritional parameters, and patient-reported respiratory and sino-nasal symptoms. Benefits were evident as early as 1 month following ivacaftor initiation and were sustained over long-term follow-up. Decreases in pulmonary exacerbations, Pseudomonas aeruginosa prevalence, and healthcare resource utilization also were reported for up to 66 months following ivacaftor initiation. In studies comparing ivacaftor treatment to modulator untreated comparator groups, clinical benefits similarly were reported as were decreases in mortality, organ-transplantation, and CF-related complications. The safety profile of ivacaftor observed in these real-world studies was consistent with the well-established safety profile based on clinical trial data. Our systematic review of real-world studies shows ivacaftor treatment in pwCF results in highly consistent and sustained clinical benefit in both pulmonary and non-pulmonary outcomes across various geographies, study designs, patient characteristics, and follow-up durations, confirming and expanding upon evidence from clinical trials.

Background: The objectives of this study were to determine the baseline patient characteristics associated with preoperative opioid use and to establish whether preoperative opioid use is associated with baseline patient-reported outcome measures in patients undergoing common hand surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing common hand surgeries from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed from a prospective orthopedic registry at a single academic institution. Medical records were reviewed to determine whether patients were opioid users versus nonusers. On enrollment in the registry, patients completed 6 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) domains (Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Social Satisfaction, Anxiety, and Depression), the Brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (BMHQ), a surgical expectations questionnaire, and Numeric Pain Scale (NPS). Statistical analysis included multivariable regression to determine whether preoperative opioid use was associated with patient characteristics and preoperative scores on patient-reported outcome measures. Results: After controlling for covariates, an analysis of 353 patients (opioid users, n = 122; nonusers, n = 231) showed that preoperative opioid use was associated with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists class (odds ratio [OR], 2.88), current smoking (OR, 1.91), and lower body mass index (OR, 0.95). Preoperative opioid use was also associated with significantly worse baseline PROMIS scores across 6 domains, lower BMHQ scores, and NPS hand scores. Conclusions: Preoperative opioid use is common in hand surgery patients with a rate of 35%. Preoperative opioid use is associated with multiple baseline patient characteristics and is predictive of worse baseline scores on patient-reported outcome measures. Future studies should determine whether such associations persist in the postoperative setting between opioid users and nonusers.
