Background: While the influences of acetabular dysplasia and overcoverage on hip arthritis have been studied, the impact of femoral neck-shaft angle on hip arthritis is much more poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between neck shaft angle and the development of osteoarthritis, a better understanding of which would be useful to surgeons planning osteotomies about the hip. Methods: 533 cadaveric femora and acetabulae (1066 total) from the Hamann-Todd Osteological Collection (Cleveland, OH) were acquired. We measured true neck shaft angle using an AP photograph with the femoral neck parallel to the table. Femoral head volume to acetabular volume ratio, representing femoral head coverage, as well as femoral version were utilised. Correlation between neck shaft angle, femoral version, femoral head coverage and osteoarthritis were evaluated with multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean age and standard deviation was 56 ± 10 years. There were 64 females (12%) and 469 males. There were 380 Caucasians (71%) and 153 African-Americans. Mean femoral version was 11° ± 12° and mean true neck shaft angle was 127.7° ± 5.9° There was a strong correlation between age and arthritis (standardised beta 0.488, p < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between increasing true neck shaft angle and decreasing hip arthritis (standardised beta -0.024, p = 0.038). In the femoral head overcoverage subset, increasing true neck shaft angle was still significantly associated with decreasing hip arthritis (standardised beta −0.088, p = 0.018), although this relationship was not significant with femoral head undercoverage subset. Conclusions: With sufficient acetabular coverage, a relative increase in femoral neck shaft angle within the physiologic range is associated with decreased hip osteoarthritis. Clinical relevance: An understanding of the relationship between femoral neck shaft angle and hip osteoarthritis could be useful for surgeons planning pelvic or proximal femur osteotomies in children.

Abstract Background: Hip involvement is an important cause of disability and poor prognostic in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). TNF-α inhibitor treatment had been demonstrated to be effective in SpA patients with hip arthritis, however, quantitative assessment with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the long-term follow-up still needs further application.Methods: A total of 239 patients were involved in this study, MTX and SSZ were given as basic treatment. 165 patients received TNF-α inhibitor plus basic treatment and 74 patients received basic treatment only as control. The clinical symptoms were assessed at baseline, week 12, week 24, and week 52. The MRI performances of hip arthritis including bone marrow edema (BME) and synovitis were quantitatively assessed using Hip MRI Inflammation Scoring System (HIMRISS).Results: The clinical symptoms of ESR, CRP, BASDAI, Harris, and ASDAS-ESR of both groups got significant clinical remission at week 52 (p<0.001). However, the disease activity change levels at week 52 in control group were significantly worse than TNF group. In week 52, MRI performance showed significant remission trend in TNF-α inhibitor group versus baseline of which total HIMRISS scores decreased significantly ( 26.49±10.37 vs 20.59±9.41, p<0.001), but the control group only had slight improvement trend (p<0.05).Conclusions: TNF-α inhibitor could significantly and better improve the clinical and MRI manifestation of hip involvement in SpA patients than controls. Quantitative MRI assessment combined with clinical assessment could accurately evaluate the treatment effect of TNF-α for SpA patients with hip involvement, and help to guide targeted treatment.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-ONRC-11001846, Registered 28 November 2011.

Objective.Pediatric rheumatologists may have an opportunity to diagnose sacroiliitis in its early stages, prior to the development of irreversible radiographic changes. Early diagnosis frequently requires magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the use of which is limited by expense and requirement for sedation. We set out to identify features of juvenile spondyloarthritis (SpA) associated with the highest risk of sacroiliitis, to identify patients who may be candidates for routine MRI-based screening.Methods.We reviewed the charts of 143 children seen at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children diagnosed with SpA based on the International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria for enthesitis-related arthritis or the Amor criteria for SpA. We performed logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors for sacroiliitis.Results.A group of 143 children were diagnosed with SpA. Consistent with the diagnosis of SpA, 16% had psoriasis, 43% had enthesitis, 9.8% had acute anterior uveitis, and 70% were HLA-B27+. Fifty-three children had sacroiliitis, of which 11 cases were identified by imaging studies in the absence of suggestive symptoms or physical examination findings. Logistic regression analysis revealed that hip arthritis was a positive predictor of sacroiliitis, while dactylitis was a negative predictor.Conclusion.Children with SpA are at risk for sacroiliitis, which may be present in the absence of suggestive symptoms or physical examination findings. The major risk factor for sacroiliitis is hip arthritis, while dactylitis may be protective. Routine screening by MRI should be considered in patients at high risk of developing sacroiliitis.
