Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the published parameters for the assessment of subchondral bone in human osteoarthritis (OA) using computed tomography (CT) and gain an overview of current practices and standards. DESIGN A literature search of Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was performed with search strategies tailored to each database (search from 2010 to January 2023). The search results were screened independently by two reviewers against pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies were deemed eligible if conducted in vivo/ex vivo in human adults (>18 years) using any type of CT to assess subchondral bone in OA. Extracted data from eligible studies were compiled in a qualitative summary and formal narrative synthesis. RESULTS This analysis included 202 studies. Four groups of CT modalities were identified to have been used for subchondral bone assessment in OA across nine anatomical locations. Subchondral bone parameters measuring similar features of OA were combined in six categories: (i) microstructure, (ii) bone adaptation, (iii) gross morphology (iv) mineralisation, (v) joint space, and (vi) mechanical properties. CONCLUSIONS Clinically meaningful parameter categories were identified as well as categories with the potential to become relevant in the clinical field. Furthermore, we stress the importance of quantification of parameters to improve their sensitivity and reliability for the evaluation of OA disease progression and the need for standardised measurement methods to improve their clinical value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition. The contribution of surrounding ligaments and tendons to the stability of the CMC joint is likely altered in OA. The flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon runs in the trapezial FCR groove and is often noted to be frayed during CMC arthroplasty. We hypothesized that decreased integrity of the FCR tendon is related to FCR groove morphology and is associated with increased severity of CMC OA. METHODS We examined 3-dimensional surface models based on computed tomography (CT) scans of explanted trapezia from patients who underwent thumb CMC arthroplasty. Fraying of the FCR tendon was rated intraoperatively. Measurements were taken of the FCR groove to evaluate its morphology. Preoperative thumb CMC radiographs for each patient were scored using the modified Eaton classification system and the Thumb Osteoarthritis Index. Differences in the tendon groups were examined, and multivariable linear regression models were used to test the association between tendon group and FCR groove measurement. RESULTS There were 136 patients who were categorized into 4 tendon groups: intact, minor fraying, fraying, and ruptured. There were no differences between the tendon groups on any measures. CONCLUSIONS Our findings do not demonstrate a significant influence of FCR groove morphology on FCR tendon fraying in CMC arthroplasty patients. We also did not find a significant association between the FCR tendon state and degree of radiographic CMC OA. Further studies should investigate the in vivo FCR tendon to evaluate its tearing and inflammation in relation to basilar thumb pain.

Abstract
Bone tissue is influenced by its mechanical environment and adapts in response to its mechanical load. This is supported by studies analyzing bone adaptation in the knee and hip. Changes to the bone have also been found to precede cartilage degeneration in diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). Our objective was to demonstrate the relationship between joint contact and bone density in the wrists of healthy adults. Static CT scans with a calibration phantom were taken to obtain measures of bone mineral density (vBMD) in 3 normalized depths; 0 - 2.5, 2.5 - 5, and 5 - 7.5 mm. Participants underwent a four-dimensional CT scan (4DCT) while performing maximum wrist extension to maximum wrist flexion. 3D bone models of the distal radius, scaphoid, and lunate were made, and analyzed vBMD and joint contact area (JCA) in the radiolunate (RL) and radioscaphoid (RS) joints separately. Correlation coefficients were calculated where vBMD was the dependent variable, and kinematic JCA throughout every 10 degrees of motion were the independent variables. Statistically significant independent variables associated with vBMD were assessed using a regression model and were entered in steps; (1) significant correlations, (2) sex, and (3) age.An increase in vBMD was significantly, positively associated with an increase in JCa. Notably, in the deeper regions (5 - 7.5 mm) of the radius that is primarily composed of trabecular bone. Sex contributed to the variance in vBMD, while age did not. Subchondral bone changes are influenced by wrist position, demonstrating that the wrist serves to bear load similar to the knee and hip.

Abstract
Subchondral bone properties are associated with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), but this relationship has not been confirmed in the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMCJ). We aimed to evaluate the thickness (SBT) and density (SBD) of three-dimensional (3D) trapezium subchondral bone models derived from computed tomography (CT) images, and their relationships with early-stage TMCJ OA. We reviewed patients with a distal radius fracture who underwent conventional CT scans and such osteoporosis evaluations as bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs). From 3D trapezium subchondral bone models, we measured SBT and SBD according to the OA stage and performed multivariate analyses to evaluate their associations with age, sex, body mass index, BMD, and BTMs. As results, a total of 156 patients (78 men and 78 age-matched women; mean age, 67 ± 10 years) were analyzed. There were 30 (19%) with grade 0, 71 (45%) with grade 1, 13 (8%) with grade 2, and 42 (27%) with grade 3 TMCJ OA. SBT was significantly lower in patients with grade 1 OA than those with grade 0 or grade 3 OA, but SBD generally increased according to the OA severity. Low SBT was associated with low BMD, and low SBD with low BMD, high osteocalcin levels, and severe OA grades. In conclusion, patients with early-stage radiographic TMCJ OA have a lower SBT at the trapezium, which may support the potential role of subchondral bone in OA pathogenesis. This study also shows that subchondral bone properties are associated with BMD and osteocalcin levels.

Abstract
Background Subchondral bone plays an important role in the pathogenesis of radiographic osteoarthritis (OA). However, the bony changes that occur in hand OA (HOA) are much less understood. This study aimed to describe the association between radiographic HOA and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) measures of the hand and radius in a population-based sample. Methods A total of 201 participants (mean age 72, 46% female) from the Tasmanian Older Adult Cohort (TASOAC) study underwent HRpQCT assessment of the 2nd distal and proximal interphalangeal (DIP, PIP), 1st carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, and distal radius. Radiographic HOA was assessed at the 2nd DIP, PIP joints, and the 1st CMC joint using the OARSI atlas. Results Proximal osteophyte and joint space narrowing (JSN) scores were consistently more strongly associated with HRpQCT measures compared to the distal site with positive associations for indices of bone size (total and trabecular bone area and cortical perimeter but inconsistent for cortical area) and negative associations for volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). There was a decrease in trabecular number and bone volume fraction with increasing osteophyte and JSN score as well as an increase in trabecular separation and inhomogeneity. Osteophyte and JSN scores in the hand were not associated with HRpQCT measures at the distal radius. Conclusions This hypothesis generating data suggests that bone size and trabecular disorganization increase with both osteophyte formation and JSN (proximal more than distal), while local vBMD decreases. This process appears to be primarily at the site of pathology rather than nearby unaffected bone.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative musculoskeletal disease characterized by pathological changes in joint structures along with the incidence of which increases with age. Exercise is recommended for all clinical treatment guidelines of osteoarthritis, but the exact molecular mechanisms are still unknown. Irisin is a newly discovered myokine released mainly by skeletal muscle in recent years—a biologically active protein capable of being released into the bloodstream as an endocrine factor, the synthesis and secretion of which is specifically induced by exercise-induced muscle contraction. Although the discovery of irisin is relatively recent, its role in affecting bone density and cartilage homeostasis has been reported. Here, we review the production and structural characteristics of irisin and discuss the effects of the different types of exercise involved in the current study on irisin and the role of irisin in anti-aging. In addition, the role of irisin in the regulation of bone mineral density, bone metabolism, and its role in chondrocyte homeostasis and metabolism is reviewed. A series of studies on irisin have provided new insights into the mechanisms of exercise training in improving bone density, resisting cartilage degeneration, and maintaining the overall environmental homeostasis of the joint. These studies further contribute to the understanding of the role of exercise in the fight against osteoarthritis and will provide an important reference and aid in the development of the field of osteoarthritis prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Background Thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) osteoarthritis is common and can lead to significant morbidity making it a condition frequently treated by hand surgeons when initial conservative measures fail. The surrounding ligamentous structures are complex and important to maintain thumb CMCJ stability. Objectives The aim of this study was to review the normal and arthritic anatomy of the thumb CMCJ, focusing on morphology and position of osteophytes and the gap between metacarpal bases, and the effect of these on intermetacarpal ligament integrity. This may be the sole ligament suspending the first metacarpal following trapeziectomy and could determine the need for further stabilization during surgery, avoiding potential future failures. Methods Computed tomography (CT) scans of a normal cohort and those with arthritic changes who had undergone trapeziectomy following the scan were identified. The three-dimensional reconstructions were examined for osteophyte position on the saddle and the intermetacarpal distance. Results A total of 55 patients, 30 normal and 25 arthritic, were identified and studied. The most common anatomic position for osteophytes was the intermetacarpal ulnar aspect of the trapezium. The intermetacarpal distance increased by an average of 2.1 mm in the presence of the arthritic process. Conclusions The findings point to an increase in the intermetacarpal distance, and hence lengthening of the ligament with potential damage, possibly secondary to osteophyte formation and wear. Further prospective research is required to determine whether using preoperative CT scanning to define osteophyte position and measure the intermetacarpal distance would predict probable damage to the ligament, hence providing an indication for stabilization and reconstruction in trapeziectomy surgery. Level of Evidence This is a Level III, retrospective cohort study.

HAND SURGERY & REHABILITATION 2021; 40:609-613.

Abstract
We performed a retrospective review of standard anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the thumb in 80 patients, to compare two radiographic landmarks, in terms of mediolateral bone support, for centering the trapezial component in total joint arthroplasty. On anteroposterior view, we identified the distal articular surface of the trapezium and trapezium width, and defined the two midpoints as radiographic landmarks for positioning a 9-mm trapezial cup. Mean trapezium width was significantly greater than the distal articular surface of the trapezium, and the midpoints did not match. Thus, after positioning simulated 9-mm prosthetic cups centered on each landmark, the residual radial bone distance was significantly greater using the landmark based on trapezium width. The mean value was 33% greater with this landmark, and the minimum value was 2.1 mm, compared to 0.2 mm using the landmark based on the distal articular surface. Our study thus suggested that the midpoint of the trapezium width is the more relevant radiographic landmark for centering the trapezial prosthetic cup in total joint arthroplasty, by preserving better bone stock on the radial side without depleting the ulnar side. On an intraoperative anteroposterior fluoroscopic view, this landmark could be used to check cup positioning.

Utility of Distal Forearm DXA as a Screening Tool for Primary Osteoporotic Fragility Fractures of the Distal Radius: A Case-Control Study. JB JS Open Access 2020; 5:e0036.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic fragility fractures frequently occur at the distal part of the radius. This suggests that initial osteoporosis evaluation at this site may inform screening and treatment to prevent additional fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of distal forearm dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as a screening tool to assess the risk of fragility fractures at the distal part of the radius. METHODS This retrospective, case-control study included postmenopausal women who had sustained a distal radial fracture (fracture group, n = 110) and postmenopausal women with no history of fracture (control group, n = 95). DXA measurements at the spine, hip, and distal part of the forearm (ultra-distal, mid-distal, and one-third distal sections) were compared between the groups on the basis of bone mineral density (BMD), T-score, and the proportion of patients with a T-score of ≤-2.5 standard deviations (SD). We also investigated the regional differences on the basis of T-score among the skeletal sites. Furthermore, the reliability of distal forearm DXA measurements was validated by assessing the statistical correlation (r) with volumetric BMD by computed tomography (CT). RESULTS Compared with the control group, the fracture group showed significantly lower BMD and T-scores and higher proportions of patients with a T-score of ≤-2.5 SD at the ultra-distal, mid-distal, and one-third distal forearm; however, the spine and hip measurements did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. With respect to regional differences, in the fracture group, T-scores were significantly lower and the proportions of patients with a T-score of ≤-2.5 SD were significantly higher for the 3 distal forearm sites compared with the spine and hip. DXA measurements at all 3 of the distal forearm regions exhibited high correlation with volumetric BMD by CT (r = 0.83 to 0.92). CONCLUSIONS Some postmenopausal women were found to exhibit bone loss preferentially at the distal part of the radius, which may render them vulnerable to fragility fractures. Forearm DXA for the assessment of local bone loss may demonstrate benefit in screening for those at risk for distal radial fractures and facilitate the early identification of patients who require intervention for osteoporosis.

Abstract
This position development conference (PDC) Task Force examined the assessment of bone status in orthopedic surgery patients. Key questions included which orthopedic surgery patients should be evaluated for poor bone health prior to surgery and which subsets of patients are at high risk for poor bone health and adverse outcomes. Second, the reliability and validity of using bone densitometry techniques and measurement of specific geometries around the hip and knee before and after arthroplasty was determined. Finally, the use of computed tomography (CT) attenuation coefficients (Hounsfield units) to estimate bone quality at anatomic locations where orthopedic surgery is performed including femur, tibia, shoulder, wrist, and ankle were reviewed. The literature review identified 665 articles of which 198 met inclusion exclusion criteria and were selected based on reporting of methodology, reliability, or validity results. We recommend that the orthopedic surgeon be aware of established ISCD guidelines for determining who should have additional screening for osteoporosis. Patients with inflammatory arthritis, chronic corticosteroid use, chronic renal disease, and those with history of fracture after age 50 are at high risk of osteoporosis and adverse events from surgery and should have dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) screening before surgery. In addition to standard DXA, bone mineral density (BMD) measurement along the femur and proximal tibia is reliable and valid around implants and can provide valuable information regarding bone remodeling and identification of loosening. Attention to positioning, selection of regions of interest, and use of special techniques and software is required. Plain radiographs and CT provide simple, reliable methods to classify the shape of the proximal femur and to predict osteoporosis; these include the Dorr Classification, Cortical Index, and critical thickness. Correlation of these indices to central BMD is moderate to good. Many patients undergoing orthopedic surgery have had preoperative CT which can be utilized to assess regional quality of bone. The simplest method available on most picture archiving and communications systems is to simply measure a regions of interest and determine the mean Hounsfield units. This method has excellent reliability throughout the skeleton and has moderate correlation to DXA based on BMD. The prediction of outcome and correlation to mechanical strength of fixation of a screw or implant is unknown.

Abstract
Bone density may influence the primary fixation of cementless implants, and poor bone density may increase the risk of implant failure. Before deciding on using total joint replacement as treatment in osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, it is valuable to determine the trapezium bone density. The aim of this study was to: (1) determine the correlation between measurements of bone mineral density of the trapezium obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans by a circumference method and a new inner-ellipse method; and (2) to compare those to measurements of bone density obtained by computerized tomography (CT)-scans in Hounsfield units (HU). We included 71 hands from 59 patients with a mean age of 59 years (43–77). All patients had Eaton–Glickel stage II–IV trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint osteoarthritis, were under evaluation for trapeziometacarpal total joint replacement, and underwent DXA and CT wrist scans. There was an excellent correlation (r = 0.94) between DXA bone mineral density measures using the circumference and the inner-ellipse method. There was a moderate correlation between bone density measures obtained by DXA- and CT-scans with (r = 0.49) for the circumference method, and (r = 0.55) for the inner-ellipse method. DXA may be used in pre-operative evaluation of the trapezium bone quality, and the simpler DXA inner-ellipse measurement method can replace the DXA circumference method in estimation of bone density of the trapezium.
