Bone 2023; 176:116883. [PMID: 37597797 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) means the formation of bone in muscles and soft tissues, such as ligaments or tendons. HO could have a genetic history or develop after a traumatic event, as a result of muscle injury, fractures, burns, surgery, or neurological disorders. Many lines of evidence suggest that the formation of HO is related to the pathological differentiation of stem or progenitor cells present within soft tissues or mobilized from the bone marrow. The cells responsible for the initiation and progression of HO are generally called HO precursor cells. The exact mechanisms behind the development of HO are not fully understood. However, several factors have been identified as potential contributors. For example, local tissue injury and inflammation disturb soft tissue homeostasis. Inflammatory cells release growth factors and cytokines that promote osteogenic or chondrogenic differentiation of HO precursor cells. The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is one of the main factors involved in the development of HO. In this study, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and RT-qPCR were performed to analyze the differences in mRNA, miRNA, and lncRNA expression profiles between muscles, control bone samples, and HO samples coming from patients who underwent total hip replacement (THR). As a result, crucial changes in the level of gene expression between HO and healthy tissues were identified. The bioinformatic analysis allowed to describe the processes most severely impacted, as well as genes which level differed the most significantly between HO and control samples. Our analysis showed that the level of transcripts involved in leukocyte migration, differentiation, and activation, as well as markers of chronic inflammatory diseases, that is, miR-148, increased in HO, as compared to muscle. Furthermore, the levels of miR-195 and miR-143, which are involved in angiogenesis, were up-regulated in HO, as compared to bone. Thus, we suggested that inflammation and angiogenesis play an important role in HO formation. Importantly, we noticed that HO is characterized by a higher level of TLR3 expression, compared to muscle and bone. Thus, we suggest that infection may also be a risk factor in HO development. Furthermore, an increased level of transcripts coding proteins involved in osteogenesis and signaling pathways, such as ALPL, SP7, BGLAP, BMP8A, BMP8B, SMPD3 was noticed in HO, as compared to muscles. Interestingly, miR-99b, miR-146, miR-204, and LINC00320 were up-regulated in HO, comparing to muscles and bone. Therefore, we suggested that these molecules could be important biomarkers of HO formation and a potential target for therapies.

Abstract
Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a well-recognised complication of after elbow trauma. The prevalence and risk factors of HO have been previously reported. However, these reports were based on elbow trauma that had undergone surgical treatment and most of them were from Western countries. This study aimed to assess the incidence of HO in patients with elbow fractures who were treated surgically and non-surgically in Japan. Methods: We retrospectively identified consecutive patients who were treated of elbow fractures and fracture-dislocations at our institution in recent consecutive 3-year periods. We extracted patient demographics, injury mechanisms and treatment details from the medical records. Furthermore, we reviewed radiographs to classify the fracture pattern and identify the presence or absence of HO. Results: HO was identified in 6/97 (6%) patients. Fracture-dislocation was noted in 4/6 patients. The fracture types with HO included terrible triad injury (n = 2), isolated coronoid process fractures (n = 2), distal humerus A-type fractures (n = 1) and radial head fracture (n = 1). According to the Hastings and Graham classification, HO was classified as Class I in five patients and Class II B in one patient who underwent additional surgery for HO resection. Conclusions: The incidence of HO was relatively low in our patients. However, of the 20 conservatively treated elbows, one patient developed clinically relevant HO and required excision of HO. Even patients with elbow fractures treated conservatively should be informed of the potential risk of developing severe HO requiring surgical excision. In addition, surgeons in this region could use these data to inform patients about the risk of HO development after an elbow injury. Level of Evidence: Level IV (Therapeutic).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral head fractures are rare injuries often associated with poor functional outcomes and complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, treatment methods and approaches, complications, and functional outcomes of femoral head fractures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 50 patients who sustained femoral head fractures between January 2011 and December 2018. There were thirty-seven (74%) males and thirteen (26%) females with a median age of 40 years. According to Pipkin's classification, there were eighteen (36%) Pipkin I, ten (20%) Pipkin II, eight (16%) Pipkin III, and fourteen (28%) Pipkin IV patients. Treatment methods were categorized into non-operative, operative by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and immediate total hip replacement (THR). The recorded surgical approach consists of an anterior(S-P) approach, posterior(K-L) approach, lateral stab, and combined anterior + lateral stab approach for fixation. The patients were also stratified by the Injury Severity Score (ISS), associated injuries, and, mechanism of injuries. The modified harris hip score (MHHS) was used to evaluate the ongoing complications with the clinical outcome of patients with two years or greater follow-up. RESULTS Eight (16%) patients were managed successfully with closed reduction without surgery and thirty-seven (74%) patients required operative reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the femoral head and acetabulum, and 5 (10%) patients required immediate THR. Six (12%) patients developed AVN, and four (8%) required a secondary THR. Sixteen patients (33%) developed post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), eight (16%) developed heterotopic ossification (HO) and six patients (12%) had sciatic nerve injury, none requiring operative treatment. Overall functional results according to MHHS were, excellent in two (4%) patients, good in sixteen (32%) patients, fair in twenty-two (44%) patients, and poor in ten (20%) patients. A statistically significant difference in outcome was observed among four pipkin subtypes. CONCLUSION Femoral head fractures are rare injuries often associated with poor outcomes. In this study, we report the functional outcomes and complications of all treatment approaches for femoral head fracture based on the Pipkin classification. The treatment aim should always be the anatomical reduction of the fragments. This study, adds to the growing literature on femoral head fracture and provides a reference for the clinical treatment to guide patient management. TRIAL REGISTRATION Our study was approved by the Clinical Research and Biomedical Ethical Committee of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, and was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants provided written informed consent to participate in this study.

Abstract
Trauma-induced heterotopic ossification (HO) is featured by aberrant bone formation at extra-skeletal site. STING is a master adaptor protein linking cellular damage to immune responses, while its role in HO remains elusive. A murine burn/tenotomy model was used to mimic trauma-induced HO in vivo. We demonstrated elevated STING expression in macrophages in inflammatory stage after burn/tenotomy, and STING inhibition significantly alleviated HO formation. Activated NLRP3-dependent macrophage pyroptosis was also found in inflammatory stage after burn/tenotomy. Either STING or NLRP3 suppression reduced mature HO by weakening macrophage pyroptotic inflammation, while protective effects of STING were abolished by NLRP3 overexpression. Further, in vitro, we also found a prominent STING level in pyroptotic BMDMs. STING suppression relieved macrophage pyroptotic inflammation, while abolished by NLRP3 overexpression. Our results reveal that STING poses regulatory effects on trauma-induced HO formation, via modulating NLRP3-dependent macrophage pyroptosis. Targeting STING-NLRP3 axis represents an attractive approach for trauma-induced HO prevention.

Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO), including hereditary and acquired HO, is the formation of extraskeletal bone in skeletal muscle and surrounding soft tissues. Acquired HO is often caused by range of motion, explosion injury, nerve injury or burns. Severe HO can lead to pain and limited joint activity, affecting functional rehabilitation and quality of life. Increasing evidence shows that inflammatory processes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can drive HO. However, explicit knowledge about the specific mechanisms that result in HO and related cell precursors is still limited. Moreover, there are no effective methods to prevent or reduce HO formation. In this review, we provide an update of known risk factors and relevant cellular origins for HO. In particular, we focus on the underlying mechanisms of MSCs in acquired HO, which follow the osteogenic program. We also discuss the latest therapeutic value and implications for acquired HO. Our review highlights the current gaps in knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of acquired HO and identifies potential targets for the prevention and treatment of HO.

Abstract
AIMS The optimal choice of management for proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) has been increasingly discussed in the literature, and this work aimed to answer the following questions: 1) what are the incidence rates of PHF in the geriatric population in the USA; 2) what is the mortality rate after PHF in the elderly population, specifically for distinct treatment procedures; and 3) what factors influence the mortality rate? METHODS PHFs occurring between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2019 were identified from the Medicare physician service records. Incidence rates were determined, mortality rates were calculated, and semiparametric Cox regression was applied, incorporating 23 demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic covariates, to compare the mortality risk between treatments. RESULTS From 2009 to 2019, the incidence decreased by 11.85% from 300.4 cases/100,000 enrollees to 266.3 cases/100,000 enrollees, although this was not statistically significant (z = -1.47, p = 0.142). In comparison to matched Medicare patients without a PHF, but of the same five-year age group and sex, a mean survival difference of -17.3% was observed. The one-year mortality rate was higher after nonoperative treatment with 16.4% compared to surgical treatment with 9.3% (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23 to 1.36; p < 0.001) and to shoulder arthroplasty with 7.4% (HR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.33 to 1.58; p < 0.001). Statistically significant mortality risk factors after operative treatment included age older than 75 years, male sex, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, a concomitant fracture, congestive heart failure, and osteoporotic fracture. CONCLUSION Mortality risk factors for distinct treatment modes after PHF in elderly patients could be identified, which may guide clinical decision-making.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2023;12(2):103-112.

Abstract
AIMS Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after elbow trauma and can cause severe upper limb disability. Although multiple prognostic factors have been reported to be associated with the development of post-traumatic HO, no model has yet been able to combine these predictors more succinctly to convey prognostic information and medical measures to patients. Therefore, this study aimed to identify prognostic factors leading to the formation of HO after surgery for elbow trauma, and to establish and validate a nomogram to predict the probability of HO formation in such particular injuries. METHODS This multicentre case-control study comprised 200 patients with post-traumatic elbow HO and 229 patients who had elbow trauma but without HO formation between July 2019 and December 2020. Features possibly associated with HO formation were obtained. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model was used to optimize feature selection. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to build the new nomogram: the Shanghai post-Traumatic Elbow Heterotopic Ossification Prediction model (STEHOP). STEHOP was validated by concordance index (C-index) and calibration plot. Internal validation was conducted using bootstrapping validation. RESULTS Male sex, obesity, open wound, dislocations, late definitive surgical treatment, and lack of use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were identified as adverse predictors and incorporated to construct the STEHOP model. It displayed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.80 (95% confidence interval 0.75 to 0.84). A high C-index value of 0.77 could still be reached in the internal validation. The calibration plot showed good agreement between nomogram prediction and observed outcomes. CONCLUSION The newly developed STEHOP model is a valid and convenient instrument to predict HO formation after surgery for elbow trauma. It could assist clinicians in counselling patients regarding treatment expectations and therapeutic choices. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2022;104-B(8):963-971.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to explore why some calcar screws are malpositioned when a proximal humeral fracture is treated by internal fixation with a locking plate, and to identify risk factors for this phenomenon. Some suggestions can be made of ways to avoid this error. Methods We retrospectively identified all proximal humeral fractures treated in our institution between October 2016 and October 2018 using the hospital information system. The patients’ medical and radiological data were collected, and we divided potential risk factors into two groups: preoperative factors and intraoperative factors. Preoperative factors included age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, proximal humeral bone mineral density, type of fracture, the condition of the medial hinge, and medial metaphyseal head extension. Intraoperative factors included the grade of surgeon, neck-shaft angle after reduction, humeral head height, restoration of medial support, and quality of reduction. Adjusted binary logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify pre- and intraoperative risk factors. Area under the curve (AUC) analysis was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of the multivariable model. Results Data from 203 patients (63 males and 140 females) with a mean age of 62 years (22 to 89) were analyzed. In 49 fractures, the calcar screw was considered to be malpositioned; in 154 it was in the optimal position. The rate of malpositioning was therefore 24% (49/203). No preoperative risk factor was found for malpositioning of the calcar screws. Only the neck-shaft angle was found to be related to the risk of screw malpositioning in a multivariate model (with an AUC of 0.72). For the fractures in which the neck-shaft angle was reduced to between 130° and 150°, 91% (133/46) of calcar screws were in the optimal position. Conclusion The neck-shaft angle is the key factor for the appropriate positioning of calcar screws when treating a proximal humeral fracture with a locking plate. We recommend reducing the angle to between 130° and 150°. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(12):1629–1635.
