Aims There is no consensus on the treatment of proximal humeral fractures. Hemiarthroplasty has been widely used in patients when non-surgical treatment is not possible. There is, despite extensive use, limited information about the long-term outcome. Our primary aim was to report ten-year patient-reported outcome after hemiarthroplasty for acute proximal humeral fractures. The secondary aims were to report the cumulative revision rate and risk factors for an inferior patient-reported outcome. Methods We obtained data on 1,371 hemiarthroplasties for acute proximal humeral fractures from the Danish Shoulder Arthroplasty Registry between 2006 and 2010. Of these, 549 patients (40%) were alive and available for follow-up. The Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) questionnaire was sent to all patients at nine to 14 years after primary surgery. Revision rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Risk factors for an inferior WOOS score were analyzed using the linear regression model. Results Mean age at surgery was 67 years (24 to 90) and 445 (81%) patients were female. A complete questionnaire was returned by 364 (66%) patients at a mean follow-up of 10.6 years (8.8 to 13.8). Mean WOOS score was 64 (4.3 to 100.0). There was no correlation between WOOS scores and age, sex, arthroplasty brand, or year of surgery. The 14-year cumulative revision rate was 5.7% (confidence interval 4.1 to 7.2). Patients aged younger than 55 years and patients aged between 55 to 74 years had 5.6-times (2.0 to 9.3) and 4.3-times (1.9 to 16.7) higher risk of revision than patients aged older than 75 years, respectively. Conclusion This is the largest long-term follow-up study of acute proximal humeral fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty. We found a low revision rate and an acceptable ten-year patient-reported outcome. The patient-reported outcome should be interpreted with caution as we have no information about the patients who died or did not return a complete WOOS score. The long-term outcome and revision rate suggest that hemiarthroplasty offers a valid alternative when non-surgical treatment is not possible. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(6):1063–1069.

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term outcome of simple trapeziectomy by a single surgeon and to compare this with pre-operative function. Two hundred and five patients completed the shortened disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (QuickDASH) and the EuroQoL five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D) scores at a mean of 8.2 (range 3.5–17) years after simple trapeziectomy. There were no pre-operative scores available, so case controls were selected from our prospective database to compare pre- and post-operative patient-reported outcome measures. The mean QuickDASH score of the post-operative matched group was 37 (SD 17.0) and the mean EQ-5D was 0.56 (SD 0.31). The mean QuickDASH score of the pre-operative group was 54 (SD 17.0). The mean difference in QuickDASH between the pre- and post-operative groups was 17 (95% CI: 8 to 26, p = 0.0003). This study demonstrated a significant and sustained improvement in patient-reported function after simple trapeziectomy. It supports that simple trapeziectomy is a simple, safe and effective treatment for advanced trapeziometacarpal joint arthritis. Level of evidence: IV

Objectives: Long term outcome of large / giant unruptured intracranial aneurysms (LG-UIAs) after endovascular therapy is still unknown. We retrospectively analyzed long-term results of patients with LG-UIAs who were followed up more than 5 years after endovascular therapy. Methods: We included patients from our complete database with UIAs greater than 10mm and treated at our hospital from January 2003 to December 2013. Retreatment rate of targeted aneurysms, rupture rate, and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at last visit were evaluated till December 2018. Results: From 142 patients treated during the period were excluded 3 patients with perioperative rupture and 38 patients with less than 5 years follow-up period, finally analyzing 101 patients. The median aneurysm size was 12.0 mm (IQR 10.8-15). The median follow-up period was 9.4 years (IQR: 7-11), the longest being 13.3 years. Retreatment was performed on 36 patients (35.6%). Comparing cumulative re-treatment rates in groups with aneurysm sizes <15 mm and> 20 mm, it was predominantly higher for aneurysms> 20 mm (P = 0.02, Figure1 ). Rupture of targeted aneurysms was observed in 2 cases (1.98%, Figure2 ), and the longest period from last treatment was up to 12 years. The mRS 0-1 at the first treatment and the final visit were 98% and 93%, respectively, and mRS deterioration remained at 5%. Conclusion: The retreatment rate tended to increase in proportion to the size of the aneurysm, however the final neurological outcome was favorable when considering the natural history of these aneurysms. Since aneurysmal rupture could occur after 12 years of treatment, long-term follow-up should be considered for LG-UIAs.

We have evaluated the long-term outcome of excision, aspiration and no treatment of dorsal wrist ganglia prospectively in 236 (83%) of 283 patients who responded to a postal questionnaire at a mean of 70 months. The resolution of symptoms was similar between the treatment groups ( p>0.3). Pain and unsightliness improved in all three treatment groups. The prevalence of weakness and stiffness altered only slightly in all three treatment groups. More patients with a recurrent, or persistent ganglion complained of pain, stiffness and unsightliness ( p<0.0001). Patient satisfaction was higher after surgical excision ( p<0.0001), even if the ganglion recurred. Twenty-three of 55 (58%) untreated ganglia resolved spontaneously. The recurrence rate was 58% (45/78) and 39% (40/103) following aspiration and excision, respectively. Eight out of 103 patients had complications following surgery. In this study, neither excision nor aspiration provided significant long-term benefit over no treatment.

Aims Studies on long-term patient-reported outcomes after open surgery for triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) are scarce. Surgeons and patients would benefit from self-reported outcome data on pain, function, complications, and satisfaction after this surgery to enhance shared decision-making. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term outcome of adults who had open surgery for the TFCC. Methods A prospective cohort study that included patients with open surgery for the TFCC between December 2011 and September 2015. In September 2020, we sent these patients an additional follow-up questionnaire, including the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), to score satisfaction, complications, pain, and function. Results A total of 113 patients were included in the analysis. At ≥ 60 months after an open TFCC reinsertion, we found a mean PRWE total score of 19 (SD 21), a mean PRWE pain score of 11 (SD 11), and a PRWE function score of 9 (SD 10). The percentage of patients obtaining minimum clinically important difference rose from 77% at 12 months to 83% at more than 60 months (p < 0.001). Patients reported fewer complications than surgeons, and overall complication rate was low. Conclusion Outcomes of patient-reported pain, function scores, and satisfaction are improved five years after open surgery for the TFCC. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(11):981–987.

Abstract Introduction To retrospectively investigate the early postoperative range of motion (ROM) (days 4, 7, 10) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to test for associations (a) with long-term outcome in terms of ROM and (b) with a disease-specific knee score. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis was performed in patients with previous primary TKA. Data taken from the medical records were ROM from preoperative and postoperative days 4, 7 and 10 and 1 year. As patient-reported outcome the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC Score) was taken from preoperative and one year after TKA. Results 316 patients (330 knees) were available. Only negligible correlations were determined between ROM at twelve months postoperative and ROM in the early postoperative days (days 4, 7, 10). Similarly, only negligible correlations were determined between ROM in the early postoperative days (days 4, 7, 10) and the 1-year WOMAC. Conclusion From the main findings it would seem that steepness of ROM ascent in the early postoperative days is of minor importance for (a) long-term ROM and (b) long-term knee score outcome after TKA.

Background and Aims. The optimal treatment of patients with internal rectal intussusception (IRI) is unresolved. The aim was to study the short- and long-term outcome of resection rectopexy in these patients. Methods. An observational and mainly prospective study of 48 patients (44 women) with IRI who had ligament-preserving suture rectopexy by laparoscopic (n=25) or open (n=23) technique. Outcome measures were morbidity, scores for constipation and anal incontinence, patients’ report, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results. From preoperatively to a median of 6 months and 76 months postoperatively, constipation scores were reduced from a mean of (95% CI) 13.20 (11.41 to 15.00) to 6.91 (5.29 to 8.54) and 6.35 (4.94 to 7.76) (P<0.0001). The number of constipated patients was reduced from 35 to eleven and eight, respectively, and none became constipated. Nine of ten symptoms of constipation improved. Corresponding scores for anal incontinence were 4.7 (2.4–7.0), 4.0 (2.4–5.7), and 4.1 (2.3–5.8), respectively. HRQoL at long-term followup compared to the general Norwegian population was reduced in four out of eight dimensions concerning physical factors. The patient-reported outcome at short- and long-term followup was improved by 85.4% and 75.0%, respectively. Conclusions. Resection rectopexy for IRI improved the outcome. HRQoL was reduced compared with the general population.
