Abstract
BACKGROUND Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a commonly diagnosed medical issue, yet there are little data assessing the relative morbidity of GTPS. We sought to characterize the morbidity on presentation of GTPS and compare it to that of patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis awaiting total hip arthroplasty. We hypothesized that patients with GTPS would have morbidity similar to or worse than that of patients with osteoarthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective case-control study examined patient-reported outcome measures of 156 patients with GTPS (193 hips) and 300 patients with hip osteoarthritis before total hip arthroplasty (326 hips). Patients with secondary hip conditions or previous hip surgeries were excluded from the study. Patient-reported outcome measures were analyzed using an equivalence test and two one-sided t tests. RESULTS Equivalence in mean visual analog scale pain scores between GTPS and osteoarthritis was established with a tolerance margin of ±10. The difference in mean visual analog scale pain scores was 0.35 (95% CI, -0.86 to 0.16; P=.02). The Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Quality of Life was much worse for patients with GTPS, placed well outside of the ±10 tolerance margin, and the difference in mean scores was 1.72 (95% Cl, -2.17 to -1.26; P=.99). Equivalence in mean UCLA Activity scores between GTPS and osteoarthritis was established with a tolerance margin of ±5. The difference in mean UCLA Activity scores was 0.002 (95% CI, -0.45 to 0.43; P<.01). CONCLUSION The morbidity and functional limitations of patients with GTPS were similar to those of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. GTPS remains a functional problem for patients, and clinicians and researchers should consider GTPS as seriously as hip osteoarthritis. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related degenerative joint disease. There is a 25% risk of symptomatic hip OA in patients who live up to 85 years of age. It can impair a person's daily activities and increase their reliance on healthcare services. It is primarily managed with education, weight loss and exercise, supplemented with pharmacological interventions. Poor health literacy is associated with negative treatment outcomes and patient dissatisfaction. A literature search found there are no previously published studies examining the readability of online information about hip OA. Objectives To assess the readability of healthcare websites regarding hip OA. Methods The terms "hip pain", "hip osteoarthritis", "hip arthritis", and "hip OA" were searched on Google and Bing. Of 240 websites initially considered, 74 unique websites underwent evaluation using the WebFX online readability software (WebFX®, Harrisburg, USA). Readability was determined using the Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), Flesch-Kincaid Reading Grade Level (FKGL), Gunning Fog Index (GFI), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Coleman-Liau Index (CLI), and Automated Readability Index (ARI). In line with recommended guidelines and previous studies, FRES >65 or a grade level score of sixth grade and under was considered acceptable. Results The average FRES was 56.74±8.18 (range 29.5-79.4). Only nine (12.16%) websites had a FRES score >65. The average FKGL score was 7.62±1.69 (range 4.2-12.9). Only seven (9.46%) websites were written at or below a sixth-grade level according to the FKGL score. The average GFI score was 9.20±2.09 (range 5.6-16.5). Only one (1.35%) website was written at or below a sixth-grade level according to the GFI score. The average SMOG score was 7.29±1.41 (range 5.4-12.0). Only eight (10.81%) websites were written at or below a sixth-grade level according to the SMOG score. The average CLI score was 13.86±1.75 (range 9.6-19.7). All 36 websites were written above a sixth-grade level according to the CLI score. The average ARI score was 6.91±2.06 (range 3.1-14.0). Twenty-eight (37.84%) websites were written at or below a sixth-grade level according to the ARI score. One-sample t-tests showed that FRES (p<0.001, CI -10.2 to -6.37), FKGL (p<0.001, CI 1.23 to 2.01), GFI (p<0.001, CI 2.72 to 3.69), SMOG (p<0.001, CI 0.97 to 1.62), CLI (p<0.001, CI 7.46 to 8.27), and ARI (p<0.001, CI 0.43 to 1.39) scores were significantly different from the accepted standard. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) testing of FRES scores (p=0.009) and CLI scores (p=0.009) showed a significant difference between categories. Post hoc testing showed a significant difference between academic and non-profit categories for FRES scores (p=0.010, CI -15.17 to -1.47) and CLI scores (p=0.008, CI 0.35 to 3.29). Conclusions Most websites regarding hip OA are written above recommended reading levels, hence exceeding the comprehension levels of the average patient. Readability of these resources must be improved to improve patient access to online healthcare information which can lead to improved patient understanding of their own condition and treatment outcomes.

OSTEOARTHRITIS AND CARTILAGE OPEN 2024; 6:100427. [PMID: 38187099 PMCID: PMC10770760 DOI: 10.1016/j.ocarto.2023.100427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To examine the relationship between long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the incidence and progression of radiographic hip osteoarthritis (RHOA), as well as the degeneration of individual radiographic features. Methods We analyzed data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) and the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) study. Our exposure was the number of years of NSAID use over a 4-to-5-year follow-up period. Our outcomes were the incidence and progression of RHOA over a 4-to-5-year follow-up as assessed using a modified Croft grade in OAI and the Kellgren-Lawrence (K/L) grade in CHECK. The incidence of RHOA was defined as having RHOA (grade ≥2) at follow-up and investigated in "incidence cohorts" of hips without RHOA at baseline (grade <2). The progression of RHOA was defined as an increase of ≥1 grade at follow-up from baseline and investigated in "progression cohorts" of hips with RHOA at baseline (grade ≥2). Additionally, we assessed the degeneration of nine specific radiographic features, such as joint space narrowing and osteophytes, defined by a grade increase of ≥1 at follow-up from baseline, in all cohorts. Results In the incidence cohorts, there were 5153 hips in OAI and 1011 in CHECK; in the progression cohorts, there were 285 and 106 hips, respectively. There was no association between NSAID use and the outcomes investigated. Conclusion Over 4-to-5 years, long-term NSAID use showed no association with the incidence or progression of RHOA, or with the degeneration of individual radiographic features.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for bilateral staged total hip replacements (THRs) were reviewed to determine whether first-side surgery can predict second-side outcomes. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of a consecutive cohort of staged bilateral THRs using the same approach, implant and technique, from August 2009 to February 2020. Minimal important change (MIC) in PROMs was set at ≥5. RESULTS A total of 296 consecutive staged bilateral THRs were performed in 148 patients. Mean time interval between sides was 25 months (range 2-102). Mean age was 63.2 years for the first side and 65.3 years for the second; 62.8% of patients were female. Mean body mass index was 31.08 for the first side, increasing to 31.57 for the second side (p = 0.248). One-year follow-up PROMs were available for 96.6% and 92.5% of the first and second side, respectively. Mean PROMs improvement at 1 year was 26.4 for the first side and 25.1 for the second side (p = 0.207). Some 97.9% of patients achieved MIC for the first side and 96.3% for the second side (p = 0.092). Eight patients failed to reach an MIC on one side, all were female (p < 0.001); however, MIC was achieved for the contralateral side. Seven of eight patients (87.5%) achieved MIC by 2 years. CONCLUSIONS This study identified no significant difference between first- and second-side PROMs improvements following staged bilateral THRs at 1-year follow-up. Failure to reach MIC on one side does not preclude success on the other. Female patients were more prone to not reach MIC at 1 year, but improvement was still subsequently achieved in the majority of cases. The informed consent process is able to reflect this expectation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effect of smoking on the prevalence, incidence, and progression of hip osteoarthritis (OA). We used data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) and the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) studies. METHODS We analyzed 9,386 hips from 4,716 participants (OAI cohort) and 1,954 hips from 977 participants (CHECK cohort). The primary exposure was smoking status at baseline, categorized as current, former, or never smoker. Outcomes of radiographic hip OA (RHOA) and symptomatic hip OA were evaluated both cross-sectionally at baseline and longitudinally over a 4- to 5-year follow-up, with adjustments for major covariates. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between current or former smokers and never smokers for any of the outcomes examined, either at baseline or at the 4- to 5-year follow-up. In the cross-sectional analysis, the odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for the prevalence of RHOA for current and former smokers were 1.29 (0.68-2.46) and 0.99 (0.70-1.40) in the OAI cohort and 1.38 (0.78-2.44) and 0.85 (0.54-1.32) in the CHECK cohort, respectively. In the longitudinal analysis, odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of RHOA were 1.03 (0.23-4.50) and 0.92 (0.46-1.85) in the OAI cohort and 0.61 (0.34-1.11) and 1.00 (0.69-1.44) in the CHECK cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study found no clear association between smoking and the prevalence, incidence, or progression of RHOA or symptomatic hip OA, either at baseline or over a 4- to 5-year period.

Abstract
In recent years the healthcare industry has had increased difficulty seeing all low-risk patients, including but not limited to suspected osteoarthritis (OA) patients. To help address the increased waiting lists and shortages of staff, we propose a novel method of automated biomarker identification and quantification for the monitoring of treatment or disease progression through the analysis of clinical motion data captured from a standard RGB video camera. The proposed method allows for the measurement of biomechanics information and analysis of their clinical significance, in both a cheap and sensitive alternative to the traditional motion capture techniques. These methods and results validate the capabilities of standard RGB cameras in clinical environments to capture clinically relevant motion data. Our method focuses on generating 3D human shape and pose from 2D video data via adversarial training in a deep neural network with a self-attention mechanism to encode both spatial and temporal information. Biomarker identification using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) allows the production of representative features from motion data and uses these to generate a clinical report automatically. These new biomarkers can then be used to assess the success of treatment and track the progress of rehabilitation or to monitor the progression of the disease. These methods have been validated with a small clinical study, by administering a local anaesthetic to a small population with knee pain, this allows these new representative biomarkers to be validated as statistically significant (p -value < 0.05 ). These significant biomarkers include the cumulative acceleration of elbow flexion/extension in a sit-to-stand, as well as the smoothness of the knee and elbow flexion/extension in both a squat and sit-to-stand.

Characteristics of the synovial microenvironment and synovial mesenchymal stem cells with hip osteoarthritis of different bone morphologies. Arthritis Res Ther 2024; 26:17. [PMID: 38200556 PMCID: PMC10777653 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03252-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Variations in bone morphology in patients with hip osteoarthritis (HOA) can be broadly categorized into three types: atrophic, normotrophic, and hypertrophic. Despite the investigations examining clinical elements, such as bone morphology, pain, and range of motion, our understanding of the pathogenesis of HOA remains limited. Previous studies have suggested that osteophytes typically originate at the interface of the joint cartilage, periosteum, and synovium, potentially implicating synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) in the process. This study aimed to investigate the potential factors that drive the development of bone morphological features in HOA by investigating the characteristics of the synovium, differentiation potential of SMSCs, and composition of synovial fluid in different types of HOA. METHODS Synovial tissue and fluid were collected from 30 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the variable bone morphology of HOA patients. RNA sequencing analysis and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were performed to analyse the genes in the normotrophic and hypertrophic synovial tissue. SMSCs were isolated and cultured from the normotrophic and hypertrophic synovial tissues of each hip joint in accordance with the variable bone morphology of HOA patients. Cell differentiation potential was compared using differentiation and colony-forming unit assays. Cytokine array was performed to analyse the protein expression in the synovial fluid. RESULTS In the RNA sequencing analysis, 103 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, predominantly related to the interleukin 17 (IL-17) signalling pathway. Using a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, 20 hub genes were identified, including MYC, CXCL8, ATF3, NR4A1, ZC3H12A, NR4A2, FOSB, and FOSL1. Among these hub genes, four belonged to the AP-1 family. There were no significant differences in the tri-lineage differentiation potential and colony-forming capacity of SMSCs. However, RT-qPCR revealed elevated SOX9 expression levels in synovial tissues from the hypertrophic group. The cytokine array demonstrated significantly higher levels of CXCL8, MMP9, and VEGF in the synovial fluid of the hypertrophic group than in the normotrophic group, with CXCL8 and MMP9 being significantly expressed in the hypertrophic synovium. CONCLUSION Upregulation of AP-1 family genes in the synovium and increased concentrations of CXCL8, MMP9, and VEGF were detected in the synovial fluid of the hypertrophic group of HOA patients, potentially stimulating the differentiation of SMSCs towards the cartilage and thereby contributing to severe osteophyte formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but devastating complication. This meta-analysis aimed to: (1) determine the mortality rates at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after THA; (2) identify risk factors and causes of mortality after THA. METHODS Pubmed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, EBSCO Host, and Google Scholar databases were queried for studies reporting mortality rates after primary elective, unilateral THA. Inverse-proportion models were constructed to quantify the incidence of all-cause mortality at 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, 5 years and 10 years after THA. Random-effects multiple regression was performed to investigate the potential effect modifiers of age (at time of THA), body mass index, and gender. RESULTS A total of 53 studies (3,297,363 patients) were included. The overall mortality rate was 3.9%. The 30-day mortality was 0.49% (95% CI; 0.23-0.84). Mortality at 90 days was 0.47% (95% CI, 0.38-0.57). Mortality increased exponentially between 90 days and 5 years, with a 1-year mortality rate of 1.90% (95% CI, 1.22-2.73) and a 5-year mortality rate of 9.85% (95% CI, 5.53-15.22). At 10-year follow-up, the mortality rate was 16.43% (95% CI, 1.17-22.48). Increasing comorbidity indices, socioeconomic disadvantage, age, anaemia, and smoking were found to be risk factors for mortality. The most commonly reported causes of death were ischaemic heart disease, malignancy, and pulmonary disease. CONCLUSIONS All-cause mortality remains low after contemporary THA. However, 1 out of 10 patients and 1 out of 6 patients were deceased after 5 years and 10 years of THA, respectively. As expected, age, but not BMI or gender, was significantly associated with mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip replacement (THR) is considered the gold standard of treatment for refractory degenerative hip disorders. Identifying patients who should receive THR in the short term is important. Some conservative treatments, such as intra-articular injection administered a few months before THR, may result in higher odds of arthroplasty infection. Delayed THR after functional deterioration may result in poorer outcomes and longer waiting times for those who have been flagged as needing THR. Deep learning (DL) in medical imaging applications has recently obtained significant breakthroughs. However, the use of DL in practical wayfinding, such as short-term THR prediction, is still lacking. OBJECTIVE In this study, we will propose a DL-based assistant system for patients with pelvic radiographs to identify the need for THR within 3 months. METHODS We developed a convolutional neural network-based DL algorithm to analyze pelvic radiographs, predict the hip region of interest (ROI), and determine whether or not THR is required. The data set was collected from August 2008 to December 2017. The images included 3013 surgical hip ROIs that had undergone THR and 1630 nonsurgical hip ROIs. The images were split, using split-sample validation, into training (n=3903, 80%), validation (n=476, 10%), and testing (n=475, 10%) sets to evaluate the algorithm performance. RESULTS The algorithm, called SurgHipNet, yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.994 (95% CI 0.990-0.998). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score of the model were 0.977, 0.920, 0932, and 0.944, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed approach has demonstrated that SurgHipNet shows the ability and potential to provide efficient support in clinical decision-making; it can assist physicians in promptly determining the optimal timing for THR.

Hip osteoarthritis (HOA), a prevalent condition among those aged 55 years and above, is a significant cause of joint pain and functional impairment and it contributes to the overall burden of chronic pain experienced by the elderly population. While platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have emerged as innovative therapeutic approaches for managing osteoarthritis, their effectiveness in HOA remains a subject of contention. Therefore, the objective of this review was to assess the efficacy of PRP versus HA in terms of pain relief and functional outcomes for the management of HOA. We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases from 2013 to 2023 to identify pertinent randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A total of seven trials (478 participants) were included. The selected studies underwent quality assessment using the updated Cochrane risk of bias tool. The pain and functional outcomes were examined using measures of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain scale, visual analog scale (VAS), and Harris hip score (HHS). In the meta-analysis, standard mean differences (SMDs) along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to estimate overall effect magnitudes for continuous outcomes were extracted. Statistical significance was determined using p-values below 0.05. At six months, the PRP group experienced a significantly lower standard mean WOMAC pain score (SMD = -0.38, CI = -0.64 - 0.13; p = 0.03). No significant differences in WOMAC pain scores were noted at one to two months (SMD = 0.09, CI = -0.24, 0.43; p = 0.59), and at 12 months (SMD = -0.85, CI = -1.81, 0.12; p = 0.09). Similarly, for VAS, patients on PRP showed a slight improvement in their VAS scores at six months (SMD = -0.50, CI = -0.89, -0.12; p < 0.01). However, no significant differences in VAS between the PRP groups and the HA groups were observed at one to two months (SMD = -0.22, CI = -0.49, 0.04; p = 0.10) and at 12 months (SMD = -0.22, CI: -0.63, 0.19; p = 0.29). In terms of hip dysfunction, there was no statistically significant standard mean difference in HHS between the PRP and HA groups at six months (SMD = 0.02, CI = -0.40, 0.44; p = 0.93), and at 12 months (SMD = -0.31, CI = -0.32, 0.22; p = 0.73). This review and meta-analysis provide insights into emerging treatments for HOA, especially considering that PRP shows potential benefits and safety for patients with HOA during mid-term follow-up in a 12-month period. Nevertheless, it is necessary to conduct research that includes high-quality designs and larger sample sizes to validate the comparative efficacy of these treatments.

Abstract
Objective To explore the prevalence of nocturnal pain and fatigue in participants with hip symptoms suspected to be early osteoarthritis (OA) and to test the mediating effect of nocturnal pain on the association between hip OA pain and fatigue. Methods We included participants with hip pain but no knee pain at baseline, from the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK)-study. Severity of hip OA pain was determined using the Numeric-Rating-Scale-pain-score last week. Fatigue was assessed using the SF-36 Fatigue subscale. Nocturnal pain was determined using the WOMAC-question: "How much pain have you experienced in the last 48 h at night while in bed?". Hip OA pain, nocturnal pain and fatigue were measured repeatedly during 10-year follow-up. Path analysis were used per time point to determine the direct effect of OA pain on fatigue and the indirect effect through nocturnal pain. Results In 170 participants (female: 76%; mean age: 55.7 years; mean BMI: 25.5 kg/m2) the prevalence of nocturnal pain varied between 22 and 35% and the prevalence of fatigue ranged between 14 and 18%. Hip OA pain was associated with nocturnal pain and fatigue. The direct effect of hip OA pain on fatigue was significant at all-time points. No significant mediating effect of nocturnal pain was found. Conclusion In this cohort of participants suspected to have early hip OA, the prevalence of fatigue remained stable and the prevalence of nocturnal pain decreased slightly over 10-year follow-up. We did not find a mediating effect of nocturnal pain in the pathway between hip OA pain and fatigue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a cohort of patients in whom hip preservation surgery is not indicated, because they have developed signs of early osteoarthritis (OA), and nor can they have a hip replacement, as they are too early in the disease process. Management of this cohort of patients is not standardised and both pharmacological and nonpharmacological measures are utilised to reduce pain. Interventions available for early OA include intra-articular injections of steroids, viscosupplementation and more recently platelet-rich plasma (PRP). However, the use of PRP in hip OA has not yet been studied systematically. PURPOSE To assess intra-articular PRP as a therapeutic intervention for hip OA, including the duration of efficacy, influence of dose and composition of PRP, and the incidence of adverse effects. STUDY DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS We performed literature searches on the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, WEB OF SCIENCE, COCHRANE, and SCOPUS databases, and the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed. Data were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. We assessed the quality of the included studies using the methodological index for non-randomized studies instrument, with an additional assessment for randomized controlled trials with the revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials. This is the first study to concisely collate the available data on the use of PRP in hip OA. RESULTS Eight studies were included in the analysis, with data from a total of 331 patients. PRP significantly reduced pain compared with the baseline at multiple time points, with the greatest effect at the 1- to 2-month follow-up, but PRP significantly improved function only at the 1- to 2-month follow-up. A significantly larger reduction in pain was achieved with a single injection of PRP compared with multiple injections, a total injected dose of PRP <15 mL compared with ≥15 mL, and use of a leukocyte-poor PRP preparation compared with leukocyte-rich PRP. There were no lasting adverse effects. CONCLUSION Low- and moderate-quality evidence suggests that PRP reduces pain and improves function at the end-point follow-up of studies compared with the baseline. Moderate-quality evidence suggests that a larger reduction in pain is achieved with a single injection of PRP compared with multiple injections, and low-quality evidence attributes a larger reduction of pain with a total injected dose of PRP <15 mL compared with ≥15 mL and using leukocyte-poor PRP compared with leukocyte-rich PRP.

Gait Posture 2023; 104:151-158. [PMID: 37421811 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2023.06.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND People with mild-to-moderate hip osteoarthritis (OA) exhibit hip muscle weakness, alterations in hip kinematics and kinetics and hip contact forces during gait compared to healthy controls. However, it is unclear if those with hip OA use different motor control strategies to coordinate the motion of the centre of mass (COM) during gait. Such information could provide further critical assessment of conservative management strategies implemented for people with hip OA. RESEARCH QUESTION Do muscle contributions to the acceleration of the COM during walking differ between individuals with mild-to-moderate hip OA and controls? METHODS Eleven individuals with mild-to-moderate hip OA and 10 healthy controls walked at a self-selected speed while whole-body motion and ground reaction forces were measured. Muscle forces during gait were obtained using static optimisation and an induced acceleration analysis was performed to determine individual muscle contributions to the acceleration of the COM during single-leg stance (SLS). Between-group comparisons were made using independent t-tests via Statistical Parametric Modelling. RESULTS There were no between-group differences in spatial-temporal gait parameters or three-dimensional whole-body COM acceleration. The rectus femoris, biceps femoris, iliopsoas and gastrocnemius muscles in the hip OA group contributed less to the fore-aft accelerations of the COM (p < 0.05), and more to the vertical COM acceleration with the gluteus maximus (p < 0.05), during SLS, compared to the control group. SIGNIFICANCE Subtle differences exist in the way people with mild-to-moderate hip OA use their muscles to accelerate the whole-body centre of mass during the SLS phase of walking relative to healthy controls. These findings improve understanding of the complex functional consequences of hip OA and enhance our understanding of how to monitor the effectiveness of an intervention on biomechanical changes in gait in people with hip OA.

Stair Climbing Ability and Identification of the Nine Stairs Ascent and Descent Test Cut-Off Points in Hip Osteoarthritis Patients: A Retrospective Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e41095. [PMID: 37519506 PMCID: PMC10380059 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.41095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives As the prevalence and incidence of hip osteoarthritis (hip OA) continue to rise, measuring the impact of hip OA severity on a patient's functionality is essential. Stair walking is a particularly relevant task to assess hip OA patients, as difficulty with stair ascent is one of the driving factors in deciding to undergo a total hip arthroplasty. Although stairs tests often arise in post-arthroplasty measures, there is a lack of reported stairs performance time in hip OA patients. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to report the stair performance time of hip OA patients categorized by disease severity and determine cut-off points that differentiate between severity grades. Materials and methods The patient selection was based on the review of de-identified data from our research laboratory database. 254 hip OA patients (aged ≥ 50 years) were divided according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification system into three groups: Grade 2 (n=68), Grade 3 (n=109), and Grade 4 (n= 68). The stair-walking ability was evaluated using the 9S-A/D test. The time taken to ascend and descend the stairs was measured separately, and the total time (9S-A/D) was also recorded. The one-way ANOVA model, Welch test, Games-Howell posthoc test, Chi-Square tests, and Two-Way ANOVA model were used for the statistical analysis of the data. The cut-off points were obtained by receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis. The statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results Homogeneity was found between the three groups regarding demographic and clinical characteristics, except age and gender (p<0.001). The comparison of the variables (9S-ascent, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D) between groups, adjusted for gender and age, showed significant differences: Grade 2 individuals had shorter performance times compared to those in Grade 3 and Grade 4 (p<0.005). Simultaneously, patients with Grade 3 hip OA have a shorter performance time than those with Grade 4 hip OA (p<0.005). Regarding ROC analysis of Grade 2 versus Grade 3: The AUCs of 9S-ascend, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D were 0.742 (95%CI 0.67-0.81), 0.734 (95%CI 0.66-0.81), and 0.745 (95%CI 0.54-0.90), respectively (all p values <0.005). The cut-off points of 9S-ascend, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D were 8.7 s (sensitivity 56%, specificity 88%), 7.1 s (sensitivity 58%, specificity 80%), and 16.25 s (sensitivity 54%, specificity 90%), respectively. Concerning ROC analysis of Grade 3 versus Grade 4: The AUCs of 9S-ascend, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D were 0.702 (95%CI 0.62-0.78), 0.711 (95%CI 0.63-0.79), and 0.715 (95%CI 0.64-0.80), respectively (all p values <0.005). The cut-off points of 9S-ascend, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D were 11.5 s (sensitivity 66%, specificity 65%), 8.3 s (sensitivity 71%, specificity 62%), and 19.05 s (sensitivity 71%, specificity 61%), respectively. Conclusions The study provides evidence that the progression of hip OA affected stair walking; the performance time of 9S-ascent, 9S-ascent, and 9S-A/D tests was significantly longer as the severity of hip OA worsened. ROC analysis results show tests' ability to distinguish the cut-off point between different hip OA grades. However, further research is required for the reporting and classification of stair performance time values in hip OA patients and to further investigate the ability of 9S-ascent, 9S-descent, and 9S-A/D tests to predict the grade of hip OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreasing an external hip adduction moment (HAM) impulse during stance is important to prevent the progression of hip osteoarthritis. A hip adduction angle (HAA) during walking influences the HAM impulse. Although a wider step-width (WS) gait is a gait modification to decrease a peak HAM, no study has reported the HAM impulse and HAA. RESEARCH QUESTION We investigated whether the HAA influences the peak HAM and HAM impulse during WS gait. METHODS Twenty-six healthy young adults walked with normal step-width (NS) and WS comfortably. They were not instructed about hip adduction motion during gait, and the peak HAM, HAM impulse, HAA, and other gait parameters were evaluated using a 3D motion capture system. The participants were divided into two groups according to the HAA size during WS gait. The percentage reduction of HAM variables (the WS condition relative to the NS condition) and other gait parameters were compared between the groups. RESULTS No difference in gait parameters was found between the groups. The percentage reduction of the HAM impulse in participants with smaller HAA was significantly higher than that in participants with larger HAA (14.5 % vs. 1.6 %, p < 0.01). Also, during normal step-width gait, the large HAA group showed a significantly larger HAA compared to the small HAA group (about 3°). SIGNIFICANCE Participants with smaller HAA could decrease the HAM impulse more effectively during WS gait compared with those with larger HAA. Thus, the HAA would influence the HAM impulse reduction effect on the WS gait. We recommend paying attention to the HAA to decrease the HAM with the WS gait.

Abstract
Aging is a physical procedure for people and nature. Our aging world is expanding because of the life span extension. Aging has a crucial relationship with our body composition (muscles, bones, and adipose tissue), which is characterized by an increase in fat mass and a gradual decrease in muscle mass and strength and bone density. These alterations affect physical performance and impact quality of life enhancing the risk for non-communicable diseases, immobilization, and disability. As far we know, osteoarthritis of lower limbs, sarcopenic obesity, and muscle mass and/or strength loss are treated separately. However, bones, muscles, adipose tissue, and aging appear to have an interconnection through a dialogue as they talk to each other. Health disorders are coming into the surface when this relationship is disrupted. The aim of our study is to search deeper into this interconnection, so that when adipose tissue increases, we have to take a look into the condition of muscle mass, bone, and connective tissue and vice versa, through the assessment of physical performance. Consequently, the triad muscle-bone-adipose tissue disorders by aging should be treated as a single entity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different interventions are used during rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery, but it is unclear if task-oriented exercise is more effective than conventional physiotherapy. OBJECTIVE This study compared the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy (CPT) programme with task-oriented exercise (TOE) on hip pain, function, static and dynamic balance during the early rehabilitation stage after total hip replacement. METHODS This randomized controlled parallel-group trial was executed in an inpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation centre. The study included 40 patients who were randomly classified into CPT and TOE groups (n= 20 in each). Hip pain (assessed by visual analogue scale), function in the operated leg (assessed by modified Harris Hip Score, mHHS), static balance (assessed by Abili Balance analyser system) and dynamic balance (assessed by Berg Balance Scale) were evaluated at baseline and after 18 days of rehabilitation. Cohen's effect size (d) was calculated. RESULTS Greater pain reduction (p< 0.05; d= 0.08) was observed after TOE (1.6 ± 0.68 scores) compared with the CPT programme (2.2 ± 0.83 scores). Hip function assessed by the modified mHHS improved more (p< 0.05; d= 0.30) in the TOE group (73.45 ± 6.23 scores) than in the CPT group (54.90 ± 6.28 scores). Static balance improved significantly in both groups after the interventions but did not differ significantly between the groups. The improvement in dynamic balance was significantly greater (p< 0.05; d= 0.45) after TOE (50.55 ± 1.57 scores) than after CPT (38.55 ± 3.43 scores). CONCLUSION Both interventions reduced pain and improved function of the operated leg and static and dynamic balance. The effect on hip function was superior for TOE compared with CPT.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis negatively impacts the patient's quality of life. Qualitative research is an effective tool in detecting the various emotions experienced by patients with osteoarthritis. Such studies play a crucial role in promoting comprehension of the patient's experiences of health and illness among healthcare professionals, including nurses. The purpose of this study is to examine patients' perceptions during the pre-admission process for total hip replacement (THR). The study utilized a qualitative descriptive methodology with a phenomenological approach. A sample of patients awaiting THR consented to participate in the study and were interviewed until data saturation was achieved. The results of the phenomenological analysis resulted in the identification of three themes: 1-Surgery generates mixed feelings; 2-Pain negatively impacts daily life activities; 3-Pain requires personal strategies to be alleviated. Patients awaiting THR demonstrate frustration and anxiety. They experience intense pain during daily activities, which persists even during night rest.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is the commonest joint disease in the world. Although aging is not invariably associated with OA, aging of the musculoskeletal system increases susceptibility to OA. Pain and reduced function due to OA, negatively impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the elderly. AREAS COVERED We searched PubMed and Google Scholar with search term "osteoarthritis' combined with terms 'elderly' 'ageing' 'healthrelated quality of life' 'burden' "prevalence 'hip osteoarthritis' 'knee osteoarthritis' 'hand osteoarthritis' to identify relevant articles. This article discusses the global impact and joint-specific burden due to OA and the challenges in assessment of HRQoL in elderly with OA. We further describe some HRQoL determinants that particularly impact elderly persons with OA. These determinants include physical activity, falls, psychosocial consequences, sarcopaenia, sexual health, and incontinence. The usefulness of physical performance measures, as an adjunct to assessing HRQoL is explored. The review concludes by outlining strategies to improve HRQoL. EXPERT OPINION Assessment of HRQoL in elderly with OA is mandatory if effective interventions/treatment are to be instituted. But existent HRQoL assessments have shortcomings when used in elderly§. It is recommended that determinants of QoL which are unique to the elderly, be examined with greater detail and weightage in future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the global prevalence of hip osteoarthritis (HOA) through a systematic review and meta-analysis, and to determine by regression analysis the respective relationships between age and sex, and sex and prevalence. METHODS EMBASE, PubMed, Web of science, CINAHL, and SCOPUS were searched from inception until August 2022. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed the quality of the retrieved literature. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to derive the pooled prevalence. Variations in the prevalence estimate in different subgroups, including diagnostic methods, region, and patient sex, were examined by subgroup meta-analysis. Meta-regression was used to construct the age-specific prevalence of HOA. RESULTS A total of 31 studies were included in our analysis, involving 326,463 participants. Quality evaluation showed that all studies included in the analysis had a Quality Score of at least 4. The most frequently used method for diagnosing HOA was the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade classification, accounting for 19/31 (61.3%) studies. The pooled prevalence of HOA diagnosed based on the K-L grade ≥ 2 criterion was 8.55% (95% CI 4.85-13.18) worldwide. The prevalence of HOA was lowest in Africa at 1.20% (95% CI: 0.40-2.38), followed by Asia at 4.26% (95% CI 0.02-14.93) and North America at 7.95% (95% CI 1.98-17.36), and highest in Europe at 12.59% (95% CI 7.17-19.25). There was no statistically significant difference in HOA prevalence between men (9.42%, 95% CI:4.81-15.34) and women at (7.94%, 95% CI: 3.57-13.81). The regression model showed a correlation between age and the prevalence of HOA. CONCLUSION HOA has high prevalence worldwide and increases with age. The prevalence varies significantly by region but not by patient sex. High-quality epidemiological studies are warranted to more accurately estimate the prevalence of HOA.

Abstract
ABSTRACT As a result of an aging population, musculoskeletal disease is a growing source of health and economic burden in the United States. In 2019, musculoskeletal conditions affected approximately 127.4 million people (more than a third of the U.S. population); they were the top driver of health-care spending in 2016, with an estimated direct annual cost of $380.9 billion. While musculoskeletal conditions represent a substantial and growing burden in terms of prevalence, disability, and health-care costs, National Institutes of Health (NIH) research funding has remained disproportionately allocated to other disease conditions. Therefore, our purpose was to provide an assessment of the current burden of musculoskeletal disease in terms of prevalence, disability, and health-care costs, and compare the changing burden of disease to trends in NIH funding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Numerous studies have indicated that intra-articular steroid injections to the hip are beneficial for short-term pain relief. However, recent studies have drawn concerns of rapidly progressive osteoarthritis of the hip (RPOH) following intra-articular steroid injections. The prevalence of RPOH following intra-articular steroid injections varies widely in the literature. OBJECTIVE To identify the prevalence of RPOH following intra-articular steroid injections, and to compare baseline characteristics between patients with and without RPOH. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary academic hospital. PATIENTS A total of 924 patients (median [interquartile range; IQR] age: 59 [45-70] years; 579 female) who received an intra-articular hip steroid/anesthetic injection from January 2016 to March 2018 and had available pre- and post-injection imaging (prior to surgical intervention) were included in the study. INTERVENTIONS Baseline and injection-related data-including demographics, age, body mass index, medical history, laterality, and steroid type-were collected from electronic medical records. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Post-injection RPOH was determined via imaging review by a physiatry fellow, followed by an attending physiatrist and a musculoskeletal radiologist to confirm findings. RESULTS The majority of patients received unilateral injections into the hip, and the most common steroids used were triamcinolone and methylprednisolone. Review of pre- and post-injection imaging revealed 26 cases of RPOH, for an overall prevalence of 2.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9%-4.1%). Compared to those without RPOH, patients with RPOH were significantly older (median age [IQR]: 64 [60-73] vs. 59 [44-70] years, p = .003) and had a shorter duration of symptoms prior to their injections (median [IQR]: 3 vs. 12 [6-36] months, p < .001). Adjusted regression analyses showed that age was associated with greater odds of RPOH (odds ratio [OR], 95% CI: 1.04, 1.01 to 1.07; p = .003). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of RPOH following intra-articular steroid injections into the hip was lower than previously reported but still clinically relevant. This should be considered when counseling patients prior to intra-articular hip steroid injections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most common treatment for primary and secondary end-stage hip osteoarthritis (OA). Almost 20% of all patients undergoing primary THA suffer from bilateral hip OA and, consequently, will need a contralateral procedure to be performed in the following years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and the reliability of one-stage bilateral THA (1-BTHA) compared to two-stage bilateral THA (2-BTHA), in low-risk patients, performed with anterior minimally invasive surgery (AMIS). METHODS Single patient's costs were obtained by dividing the annual costs report by the number of hospitalizations, considering the diagnosis related group (DRG) of the two procedures. Then, 16 patients undergoing 1-BTHA and 8 undergoing 2-BTHA were examined. Hemoglobin (Hb) values before surgery and before discharge, transfusion rate and the occurrence of post-operative complications were observed. RESULTS Procedural costs were divided in different subgroups: pre-hospitalization, operating room, hospital stay, post-operative follow-up and other costs. 1-BTHA total costs amount to 5.754,82€, while performing 2-BTHA costs 7.624,32€. However, considering DRG reimbursement, the hospital's profit margin following 1-BTHA is lower than that following 2-BTHA (6.346,18€ versus 9.261,68€). Surgical time was found not to be significantly different between 1-BTHA and 2-BTHA (141,13 ± 26,1 min vs 164,8 ± 44,3 min; p = 0,111). The two groups showed a statistically significant difference in Hb decrease (4,8 ± 1,3 g/dl vs 3,3 ± 0,9; p = 0,001), despite no variances in transfusion rate. No further complications were observed in either group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates how, in carefully selected patients, 1-BTHA performed with AMIS is a cost-effective and safe technique compared to 2-BTHA, resulting in a shorter OR time, LOS and lower overall costs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is a functional relationship between the hip joint and the pelvic floor muscles. In patients with secondary osteoarthritis of the hip, urinary incontinence is also seen. Research has shown that total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery improves the symptoms of urinary incontinence. This prospective cross-sectional study without a control group was performed on THA candidates with urinary incontinence and secondary osteoarthritis with the aim of investigating the effect of THA with a direct lateral approach and subsequent routine physiotherapy on the symptoms of urinary incontinence. METHODS Sampling was performed using a simple method among those referred to orthopedic clinics in the private sector. Data were collected in all patients before and 3 months after THA using demographic, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and hip range of motion record tables. The results are presented as mean with standard deviation. RESULTS In this study, 16 men with a mean age of 76.75 years (±4.65) and 8 women with a mean age of 72.75 years (±7.32) participated. Before THA, stress urinary incontinence (54.16%) and urgency urinary incontinence (20.83%) had the highest frequency. However, after THA, the frequency of stress and urgency urinary incontinence decreased (16.66% and 8.33%, respectively). According to the results of the ICIQ, complete improvement of urinary incontinence symptoms was observed in up to 62.5% of the subjects. After THA, there was a significant difference between the mean total score obtained from the WOMAC questionnaire compared to before surgery. There was a significant improvement in the range of motion of the hip joint in all directions. CONCLUSIONS THA and routine hip physiotherapy in patients with urinary incontinence and secondary hip osteoarthritis have a significant positive effect on improving symptoms of urinary incontinence and hip function. In addition, it significantly improves the ICIQ and WOMAC questionnaire scores.

Abstract
Introduction Sacroiliitis is an inflammation of one or both of the sacroiliac (SI) joints, most often resulting pain in the lower back that can extend down the legs. Pain arising from the SI joint can be difficult to diagnose and treat due to the intricate surrounding ligamentous structure, nerve innervation, and its role in transferring weight from the upper body to the lower limbs. SI joint dysfunction accounts for up to 25% of cases of lower back pain and has a debilitating effect on patient functionality. This review aims to provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of SI joint pain, with a specific focus on differential diagnosis and treatment. Methods Current literature on SI joint pain and inflammation, other etiologies of lower back pain, and new treatment options were compiled using the databases PubMed and Cochrane and used to write this comprehensive review. There were no restrictions when conducting the literature search with regard to publication date, study language, or study type. Results The diagnosis protocol of SI joint pain arising from sacroiliitis usually begins with the presentation of lower back pain and confirmatory diagnostic testing through fluoroscopy joint block. Reduction in pain following the anesthetic is considered the golden standard for diagnosis. The treatment begins with the conservative approach of physical therapy and analgesics for symptom relief. However, refractory cases often require interventional methods such as corticosteroid injections, prolotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and even SI joint fusion surgery. Conclusion SI joint pain is a complex problem that can present with varying patterns of pain due to uncertainty regarding its innervation and its prominent surrounding structure. It is therefore especially important to obtain a thorough history and physical on top of diagnostic tests such as a diagnostic block to properly identify the source of pain. Conservative treatment options with physical therapy and analgesics should be attempted first before interventional strategies such as ablation, injections, and prolotherapy can be considered. SI joint fusion surgery is a solution to cases in which previous methods do not provide significant relief.

Abstract
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease with systemic inflammation finally resulting in damaged joints. One of the RA development models suggests bone marrow (BM) as a place of inflammation development further leading to disease progression. We aimed to investigate the potential of CTLA-4-Fc molecule in inducing tolerogenic milieu in BM measured as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression, CD4+Foxp3+ Treg induction, and T cell activation control. The expression of IDO-pathway genes was also examined in monocytes to estimate the tolerogenic potential in the periphery. Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) were stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines and CTLA-4-Fc. Next IDO expression, CD4+CD69+ and CD4+Foxp3+ percentage were estimated by PCR and FACS staining, respectively. Enzymatic activity of IDO was confirmed by HPLC in BM plasma and blood plasma. Genes expressed in IDO-pathway were analyzed by NGS in peripheral monocytes isolated from RA patients and healthy controls. Results We found that CTLA-4-Fc and IFN-γ stimulation results in IDO production by BMMC. CTLA-4-Fc induced tryptophan catabolism can inhibit mitogen-induced CD4+ T cells activation without influencing CD8+ cells, but did not control CD25 nor Foxp3 expression in BM cells. Significantly higher expression of selected IDO-pathway genes was detected on peripheral monocytes isolated from RA as compared to healthy controls. Conclusion This study sheds light on some immunosuppression aspects present or induced in BM. The potential of IDO-mediated pathways were confirmed in the periphery, what may represent the promising candidates for therapeutic strategies in RA.

AIM To test the agreement between a newly developed micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis of the subchondral bone and the micro-computed tomography (CT) approach. METHODS Samples obtained from 10 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total hip arthroplasty were scanned with a 7.0 T micro-MRI. Proton density-weighted images and proton density-weighted images with fat suppression were obtained. The results were validated with a micro-CT device. Micro-MRI and micro-CT scans of the same sample were aligned, and regions of interest were delineated on equal areas of the sample. Bone volume fraction was calculated by using in-house plugins. The agreement between the methods was tested with Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS The agreement between the methods was good, with average difference of 2.167%. The differences between the methods were not significant (P=0.272, t test). CONCLUSION The novel micro-MRI approach could be used for subchondral bone analysis. With further optimization for clinical MRI machines, the approach can be also used in the diagnostics of hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the associations of biomarkers in serum [highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum cartilage oligomeric protein (sCOMP), serum propeptide of type I procollagen (sPINP) and serum osteocalcin (sOC)] and urine [urinary type II collagen telopeptide (uCTX-2)] with the extent and progression of nocturnal pain, pain while walking, and fatigue in participants with hip and/or knee pain suspected to be early stage osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS hs-CRP, uCTX-2, sCOMP, sPINP and sOC were measured at baseline in 1,002 participants of the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK). Nocturnal pain, pain while walking and fatigue were assessed by self-reported questionnaires at baseline and 2-year follow-up. Associations between these biomarkers and symptoms were examined using logistic and linear regression analyses. RESULTS hs-CRP was significantly associated with mild nocturnal pain (OR 1.18 95% CI 1.01-1.37), with mild and moderate pain while walking (OR 1.17 95% CI 1.01-1.35 and OR 1.56 95% CI 1.29-1.90, respectively) and with progression of nocturnal pain (OR 1.25 95% CI 1.07-1.46). uCTX-2 was associated with mild nocturnal pain (OR 1.40 95% CI 1.05-1.85) and with mild and severe-extreme pain while walking (OR 1.35 95% CI 1.04-1.75 and OR 2.55 95% CI 1.03-6.34, respectively). sPINP was associated with severe-extreme nocturnal pain (OR 0.45 95% CI 0.25-0.82). No significant associations were found for sCOMP and sOC, nor for any of the biomarkers and fatigue. CONCLUSION This study of biomarkers in a large cohort of participants with hip and/or knee pain suspected to reflect early stage hip and/or knee OA suggests that inflammation and cartilage matrix degeneration play a role in pain, but not in fatigue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the presence of hip osteoarthritis and the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and neutrophil-monocyte ratio. METHODS Participants with hip osteoarthritis and healthy controls aged 45-75 years were recruited in the study. The participants with hip osteoarthritis were divided into two groups: mild/moderate hip osteoarthritis and severe hip osteoarthritis. Complete blood parameters of the participants were recorded, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-monocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio were calculated. Pain severity was evaluated using a visual analog scale. RESULTS A total of 76 participants with hip osteoarthritis and 59 healthy controls were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 57.6±6.11 years. Mean neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-monocyte ratio values were statistically significantly different between the hip osteoarthritis group and healthy control group (p<0.05). Platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein values were not significantly different between the groups. Also, there was no difference between all inflammatory parameters and hip osteoarthritis severity (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-monocyte ratio values were higher in patients with hip osteoarthritis than in healthy controls. Mean platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein values did not change according to the presence of hip osteoarthritis. Not all hematological indices give valuable information regarding the severity of hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Purpose Uni- or bilateral hip osteoarthritis is a common disease generating pain, stiffness, and functional disabilities. Changes in the normal walking with higher energy expenditures are observed. Facing a cruel lack of biomechanical data, we decided to analyse the impact on the walking of single and simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasties (THA). Method We conducted a prospective monocentric study, comparing two matched groups of 15 patients able to walk with symptomatic isolated uni- (group 1) or bilateral HO (group 2) and treated respectively by unilateral THA (UTHA) or simultaneous bilateral THA (SBTHA). Surgery was performed by a single surgeon with a direct anterior approach and approved by local ethical committee. Walking was assessed by a « 3D Gait analysis motion» pre and at 6 months post operatively. Result In the UTHA group, recovery, i.e., efficiency of locomotor mechanism (p < 0.001) and pelvis sagittal balance (p = 0.031) improved, while external and total work (p = 0.010) decreased post operatively. In the SBTHA group, speed (p = 0.035), step length (p = 0.046), range of motion of knee sagittal stance (p = 0.009) and hip frontal (p = 0.031), and internal work are significatively higher (p < 0.001) post operatively. Conclusions This original study attests that THA has a positive impact on walking and energetics outcome in UTHA and SBTHA.

Abstract
Whether hip osteoarthritis (OA) could increase the risk of lacunar stroke (LS) is not well understood. This two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to investigate in depth the effect of genetically predicted hip OA on LS risk. Hip OA-related instrumental variables (IVs) were selected from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 393,873 individuals. The summary data of LS were obtained from a GWAS meta-analysis, including 16,030 cases and 248,929 controls. We used the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) as the primary MR analysis method. Moreover, the weighted-median, MR-Egger regression, and the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test were supplementary methods. The sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out test. We identified the positive causal relationship between hip OA and the risk of LS (odds ratio [OR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07, 1.36; p = 0.002 using the IVW method). The weighted median method provided similar results. There was no evidence of directed pleiotropy, and sensitivity analysis results were stable, suggesting the robustness of our study. This study showed a causal effect of hip OA on the risk of LS, and more efforts should be made to explore the potential mechanisms in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The hip is the second most affected joint in osteoarthritis (OA), diagnosed annually worldwide. This is the first study presenting the epidemiology of hip OA in the Middle Eastern and North African countries from 1990 to 2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed based on the analysis of global burden of disease (GBD) study data. Epidemiological indices including prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLD) were compared in all 21 countries located in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region during 1990 to 2019. RESULTS The prevalence of patients with hip OA in MENA increased 3.1-fold, from 0.40 to 1.28 million during the study period. Hip OA accounted for about 74.46 thousand (95% UI 56.64-94.92) incident cases in MENA at 2019. It was found that Qatar had the highest age-standardized prevalence in both 1990 (0.33% [0.25-42]), and 2019 (0.40% [0.30-0.50]) in MENA. Oman showed the greatest relative increase (around 50.10%) in age-standardized prevalence of hip OA, whereas Iraq showed the lowest relative increase (around 9.94%) compared with other MENA countries. CONCLUSIONS Hip OA prevalence and YLD have both increased in MENA over the last three decades. The region's rapidly increasing burden of hip OA emphasizes the need to focus on OA prevention strategies especially in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have identified factors associated with an unfavourable clinical outcome or an early conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) after joint-preserving treatment. We analysed the effect and reliability of different factors on the age at which THA becomes necessary. METHODS Hip joint radiographs of 2485 cases were evaluated using the lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) and acetabulum angle (ACA) as well as the alpha angle to describe the femoral head shapes. Regressions were performed using patient's age at the time of THA and body mass index (BMI) as well as LCEA and ACA. Multiple linear regressions were used to create a formula comprising factors that significantly correlated with patient age at the time of joint replacement surgery. RESULTS The BMI, LCEA, and ACA showed significant correlations with the age of THA implantation (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regressions produced the following formula: age (THA) = 72.40-0.40 × BMI + 0.20 × LCEA-0.18 × ACA. BMI showed a stronger impact on the age of end-stage osteoarthritis than the ACA. The formula explained 12.1% of the distributing data (r2). Surprisingly, the alpha angle did not show an impact on the age of THA surgery. CONCLUSIONS BMI had the greatest impact on patient's age at the time of THA, followed by the characteristic radiological angles for hip dysplasia. The resulting formula could emphasise and visualise the significant impact of these factors. However, despite the calculation being based on 2485 cases, the calculated validity of 12.1% was limited.

Abstract
La necesidad de mejorar las competencias de los futuros profesionales en salud ha conducido a repensar la manera como se imparten los conocimientos a los estudiantes y de cómo ellos podrían aprender de manera significativa. Actualmente, el aula invertida (AI) o flipped classroom (FC) se convierte en una estrategia de enseñanza alternativa en el campo de la educación en salud. Incentiva el aprendizaje del estudiante al promover la autonomía en el abordaje de los conocimientos antes de cada clase, favorece la motivación, el aprendizaje activo, colaborativo y significativo durante las sesiones presenciales, de tal manera que permite desarrollar el pensamiento crítico para una formación profesional idónea. Al realizar una revisión de la literatura se evidenció un amplio uso del AI en educación en salud con resultados positivos frente a la educación tradicional. Además, las tecnologías juegan un papel importante para presentar contenidos y ejecutar actividades fuera y dentro del aula. Se presentan algunas evidencias de la efectividad del AI en educación médica, cómo podría implementarse en nuestras aulas y la diversidad de recursos disponibles para usar en los diferentes escenarios que plantea esta estrategia.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, safety and outcomes of a study comparing a 6-week post-operative rehabilitation program to usual care in patients ≤60 years undergoing elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A cohort of 24 THA patients were recruited during their 6-week postoperative visit to their surgeons. The community-based rehabilitation program, which was designed to improve function and increase activity, consisted of 12 structured exercise classes on land and water over 6 weeks. Physical activity was assessed using a Sense Wear Pro Armband (SWA). Participants completed the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and THA satisfaction questionnaire before and immediately after the intervention. Results: 14 participants received the augmented rehabilitation, and 10 participants were in the control group. All except one in the intervention group completed at least 80% of the sessions. The intervention group took significantly more steps/day (mean difference = 2440 steps/day, 95% CI = 1678, 4712) (p < 0.05), at the follow-up compared to baseline. The intervention group had a higher mean change of number of weekly PA bouts than the control group. Within the intervention group, all HOOS subscales were significantly higher at the follow-up compared to baseline. Conclusion: Findings provided pragmatic insight regarding the intervention and assessments of implementing an augmented rehabilitation program for elective THA.

Alternative treatment of hip pain from advanced hip osteoarthritis utilizing cooled radiofrequency ablation: single institution pilot study. Skeletal Radiol 2022; 51:1047-1054. [PMID: 34609519 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-021-03927-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the effectiveness of cooled radiofrequency ablation in managing hip pain from osteoarthritis at 6 months after receiving treatment in patients who failed conservative treatments and are not surgical candidates due to comorbidities or unwillingness to undergo arthroplasty surgery by targeting the femoral and obturator branches and assessing the degree of hip pain relief and change of function. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective pilot study includes a total of 11 consecutive patients experiencing persistent chronic hip pain in the setting of advanced osteoarthritis. Patients initially underwent anesthetic blocks of the obturator and femoral nerve branches to determine cooled radiofrequency ablation candidacy. After adequate response to the anesthetic blocks (> 50% immediate pain relief), patients were subjected to the procedures 2-3 weeks later. Treatment response was evaluated utilizing clinically validated questionnaires and visual analog score in order to assess impact on pain severity, stiffness, and functional activities of daily living. Follow-up outcome scores were collected up to 6 months after cooled radiofrequency ablation procedure. RESULTS A total of 11 hips were treated consecutively between August 2019 and March 2020 (mean patient age 61.4 years; 8 M:3F). The mean total HOOS score improved significantly from baseline at 17.0 ± 6.0 to 52.9 ± 5.4 at a mean of 6.2 months after treatment (p < 0.0001), with significant improvement in mean pain score from 16.1 ± 6.6 to 53.4 ± 7.4 (p < 0.0001) and mean stiffness score from 15.0 ± 8.1 to 53.6 ± 11.0 (p < 0.0001). No major complications were encountered. No patients went on to re-treatment, surgery, or other intervention. CONCLUSION Image-guided obturator and femoral nerve cooled radiofrequency ablation is effective and safe in treating chronic hip pain/stiffness in the setting of advanced osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Due to its frequency and possible complications, hip arthrosis or hip osteoarthritis (hip OA) has a high social impact, its advanced stages eventually leading to irreversible lesions involving major complications or surgery. In the early stages, conservative treatment plays a key role in the prophylaxis of complications and in slowing down the degenerative process. The association between an appropriate drug therapy (DT) and a rehabilitation treatment (RT)—including individualized physical therapy (PT) and adapted occupational therapy (OT)—provides good results. Our objective was to highlight the benefits of associating RT with DT in patients with hip OA. Materials and Methods: An observational follow-up study was conducted between 2018−2021, which included 100 patients with hip OA divided into two groups: the study group—group A (50 subjects who complied with RT) and the control group—group B (who did not comply with RT). To evaluate them, the evolution of the Lequesne hip index (LHI), Tinetti test (TT) and the hip joint mobility: flexion (FH) and abduction (AH) were monitored before the beginning of the study (T0) and after one-year (T1) for each patient. The mean values of the parameters, the standard deviations, the frequency intervals, as well as the tests of statistical significance were calculated using the Student method (t-test) and χ2, ANOVA (Bonferroni) being used to compare the means. Results: Compared to the evolution of group B, improvements were observed in group A, as follows: in LHI group A (p = 0.023) vs. group B (p = 0.650); in TT group A (p = 0.011) vs. group B (p < 0.001); in FH group A (p = 0.001) vs. group B (p = 0.025); in AH group A (p = 0.001) vs. group B (p < 0.001). BMI changes were non-significant in both groups A (p = 0.223) and B (p = 0.513). Evaluating group A, the most significant improvements of the studied parameters were observed in the age group 41−50 years. Conclusions: The study reveals the benefits of combining RT with DT in patients with especially early-stage hip OA, aged up to 50 years old.

Detecting hip osteoarthritis on clinical CT: a deep learning application based on 2-D summation images derived from CT. Osteoporos Int 2022; 33:355-365. [PMID: 34476540 PMCID: PMC8813821 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-021-06130-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED We developed and compared deep learning models to detect hip osteoarthritis on clinical CT. The CT-based summation images, CT-AP, that resemble X-ray radiographs can detect radiographic hip osteoarthritis and in the absence of large training data, a reliable deep learning model can be optimized by combining CT-AP and X-ray images. INTRODUCTION In this study, we aimed to investigate the applicability of deep learning (DL) to assess radiographic hip osteoarthritis (rHOA) on computed tomography (CT). METHODS The study data consisted of 94 abdominopelvic clinical CTs and 5659 hip X-ray images collected from Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK). The CT slices were sequentially summed to create radiograph-like 2-D images named CT-AP. X-ray and CT-AP images were classified as rHOA if they had osteoarthritic changes corresponding to Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 or higher. The study data was split into 55% training, 30% validation, and 15% test sets. A pretrained ResNet18 was optimized for a classification task of rHOA vs. no-rHOA. Five models were trained using (1) X-rays, (2) downsampled X-rays, (3) combination of CT-AP and X-ray images, (4) combination of CT-AP and downsampled X-ray images, and (5) CT-AP images. RESULTS Amongst the five models, Model-3 and Model-5 performed best in detecting rHOA from the CT-AP images. Model-3 detected rHOA on the test set of CT-AP images with a balanced accuracy of 82.2% and was able to discriminate rHOA from no-rHOA with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) of 0.93 [0.75-0.99]. Model-5 detected rHOA on the test set at a balanced accuracy of 82.2% and classified rHOA from no-rHOA with an ROC AUC of 0.89 [0.67-0.97]. CONCLUSION CT-based summation images that resemble radiographs can be used to detect rHOA. In addition, in the absence of large training data, a reliable DL model can be optimized by combining CT-AP and X-ray images.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare problems reported in the five EQ-5D-3L dimensions and EQ VAS scores at baseline and at 1-year follow-up among different patient groups and specific diagnoses in 11 National Quality Registers (NQRs) and to compare these with the general population. DESIGN Longitudinal, descriptive study. PARTICIPANTS 2 66 241 patients from 11 NQRs and 49 169 participants from the general population were included in the study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Proportions of problems reported in the five EQ-5D-3L dimensions, EQ VAS scores of participants' own health and proportions of participants and mean/median EQ VAS score in the Paretian Classification of Health Change (PCHC) categories. RESULTS In most of the included registers, and the general population, problems with pain/discomfort were the most frequently reported at baseline and at 1-year follow-up. Mean EQ VAS score (SD) ranged from 45.2 (22.4) among disc hernia patients to 88.1 (15.3) in wrist and hand fracture patients at baseline. They ranged from 48.9 (20.9) in pulmonary fibrosis patients to 83.3 (17.4) in wrist and hand fracture patients at follow-up. The improved category of PCHC, improvement in at least one dimension without deterioration in any other, accounted for the highest proportion in several diagnoses, corresponding with highest improvement in mean EQ VAS score. CONCLUSIONS The study documented self-reported health of several different patient groups using the EQ-5D-3L in comparing with the general population. This demonstrated the important role of patient-reported outcomes in routine clinical care, to assess and follow-up health status and progress within different groups of patients. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system and EQ VAS have an important role in providing a 'common denominator', allowing comparisons across NQRs and specific diagnoses.

Abstract
Celecoxib is commonly used for pain management after total hip arthroplasty (THA), while the optimal timing of analgesic celecoxib remains unclear. This randomized, controlled study aimed to investigate the pain control efficacy and safety of preoperative celecoxib versus postoperative celecoxib in osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing THA. Totally, 192 hip OA patients about to undergo THA were randomized into pre-treatment group (N = 96) and post-treatment group (N = 96). The former was given 400 mg celecoxib at 4 h before THA, 200 mg at 4 h after THA, and then 200 mg every 12 h until 72 h post-operation. The latter was given 400 mg celecoxib at 4 h after THA, and then 200 mg every 12 h until 72 h post-operation. Pain at rest visual analog scale (VAS) score at 6 h, and pain at flexion VAS scores at 6 h, 12 h, and on D1, D2 were decreased in pre-treatment group compared to post-treatment group (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, additional consumption of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) (P = 0.006) and total consumption of PCA (P = 0.006) were both reduced in pre-treatment group compared to post-treatment group. Meanwhile, compared to post-treatment group, patient satisfaction in pre-treatment group was higher on D1 (P = 0.010) and D2 (P = 0.039). While, Harris hip score showed no difference between pre-treatment group and post-treatment group on M1 or M3 (both P > 0.05). In conclusion, preoperative celecoxib exhibits better analgesic efficacy and patients' satisfaction management with similar tolerance compared to postoperative celecoxib in hip OA patients undergoing THA.

Abstract
The present study compares the structure and composition of fascia lata in healthy subjects and in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA), to evaluate any differences in the amount of Collagen type I, Collagen type III, and Hyaluronan. Fascia lata samples from voluntary healthy subjects and patients with OA were harvested during surgery. Collagen type I (COL I), III (COL III) antibody, and biotinylated hyaluronan binding protein (HABP) immunohistochemistry stainings were used to evaluate fascial morphology and COL I, COL III, and Hyaluronan (HA) content in both groups. Ten samples from healthy subjects and 11 samples from OA patients were collected. COL I was significantly more abundant in the OA group (p = 0.0015), with a median percentage positivity of 75.2 (IQR 13.11)%, while representing only 67 (IQR: 8.71)% in control cases. COL III, with median values of 9.5 (IQR 3.63)% (OA group) and 17.10 (IQR 11)% (control cases), respectively, showed significant reduction in OA patients (p = 0.002). HA showed a median value of 10.01 (IQR 8.11)% in OA patients, denoting significant decrease (p < 0.0001) with respect to the control group median 39.31 (IQR 5.62)%. The observed differences suggest a relationship between fascial pathology and hip OA. The observed increase in COL I in OA patients, along with the reduction of COL III and HA, could lead to fascial stiffening, which could alter fascial mechanics and be linked to the development and symptoms of OA.

Abstract
Instrumented implants can improve the clinical outcome of total hip replacements (THRs). To overcome the drawbacks of external energy supply and batteries, energy harvesting is a promising approach to power energy-autonomous implants. Therefore, we recently presented a new piezoelectric-based energy harvesting concept for THRs. In this study, the performance of the proposed energy harvesting system was numerically and experimentally investigated. First, we numerically reproduced our previous results for the physiologically based loading situation in a simplified setup. Thereafter, this configuration was experimentally realised by the implantation of a functional model of the energy harvesting concept into an artificial bone segment. Additionally, the piezoelectric element alone was investigated to analyse the predictive power of the numerical model. We measured the generated voltage for a load profile for walking and calculated the power output. The maximum power for the directly loaded piezoelectric element and the functional model were 28.6 and 10.2 µW, respectively. Numerically, 72.7 µW was calculated. The curve progressions were qualitatively in good accordance with the numerical data. The deviations were explained by sensitivity analysis and model simplifications, e.g., material data or lower acting force levels by malalignment and differences between virtual and experimental implantation. The findings verify the feasibility of the proposed energy harvesting concept and form the basis for design optimisations with increased power output.

Abstract
Objective Estrogen and osteoarthritis association has previously been proposed. This study evaluates the presence of estrogen receptors (ER)-α in articular cartilage, and its association. Methods A prospective cohort study of women undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (controls) or total knee arthroplasty (cases) was performed. Cartilage samples were processed and ER-α expression was quantified. Results Twenty patients were included: 12 cases and 8 controls. ER-α expression was higher in the case subjects. Conclusion Increased ER-α expression is associated with age, and degeneration. This suggests estrogen deficiency is a risk for osteoarthritis and is inversely related to proliferative looking chondrocytes.

Abstract
Purpose The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) developed the appropriate use criteria (AUC) for the management of hip osteoarthritis (OA) to guide surgeons in making decisions based on the best available evidence. This study aimed to assess the applicability of the AUC by comparing the actual treatment provided at our institution with the AUC recommendations. Methods A retrospective review of 115 patients who were diagnosed and treated for hip OA at our institution between December 2017 and December 2019 was performed. Data were collected and entered into the AUC application to determine the rate of appropriateness of the provided treatment according to the AUC recommendations. Then, the actual provided treatments were compared with the AUC recommendations to determine the agreement between the two. Results There were 115 patients, with a mean age of 50.08 years (range, 30–80 years). The most frequent patient characteristics were middle age (40–65 years) with function-limiting pain at moderate to long distances, minimal hip OA on X-ray examination, mild range of motion limitation, and presence of modifiable risk factors for negative outcomes. The overall rate of appropriateness and in agreement with the AUC recommendations was 100% for conservative treatments and 80.1% for surgical treatments. Conclusions This study shows that the majority of the hip OA treatments provided at our institution were appropriate and in agreement with the AUC recommendations. Furthermore, the AUC can be easily accessed through a free web application using a computer or smartphone to obtain the recommended treatment for any patient with hip OA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary care physicians (PCPs) are often gatekeepers to specialist care. This study assessed the relationship between PCP density and total knee (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes. METHODS We obtained patient-level data from an institutional registry on patients undergoing elective primary TKA and THA for osteoarthritis, including Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain and function scores at baseline and 2 years. Using geocoding, we identified the number of PCPs in the patient's census tract (communities). We used Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting and Cross-validated Targeted Minimum Loss-Based Estimation to compare provider density and outcomes adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS Our sample included 3606 TKA and 4295 THA cases. The median number of PCPs in each community was similar for both procedures: TKA 2 (interquartile range 1, 6) and for THA 2 (interquartile range 1, 7). Baseline and 2-year follow-up WOMAC pain, function, and stiffness scores were not statistically significantly different comparing communities with more than median number of PCPs to those with less than median number of PCPs. In sensitivity analyses, adding 1 PCP to a community with zero PCPs would not have statistically significantly improved baseline or 2-year follow-up WOMAC pain, function, and stiffness scores. CONCLUSIONS In this sample of patients who underwent elective TKA or THA for osteoarthritis, we found no statistically significant association between PCP density and pain, function, or stiffness outcomes at baseline or 2 years. Further studies should examine what other provider factors affect access and outcomes in THA and TKA.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to establish the prevalence of clinical hip osteoarthritis in current and former professional footballers and to explore its consequences on hip function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A cross-sectional study by means of questionnaire was conducted among current and former professional footballers fulfilling the following inclusion criteria: (1) male (2) active or retired professional footballer (3) member of FIFPRO (Football Players Worldwide) (4) between 18 and 50 years old (5) could read and understand texts in French, Spanish, or English. Controls (matched for: gender, age, body weight and height) were also recruited. The main outcome measures were clinical hip osteoarthritis, hip function and HRQoL. Questionnaires were sent to 2,500 members of which 1,401 participated (1,000 current and 401 former professional footballers). Fifty-two controls were recruited. Prevalence of hip osteoarthritis was 2% among current and 8% among former professional footballers. Hip function was significantly (p ≤ 0.001) lower in both types of footballers with hip osteoarthritis than in footballers without hip osteoarthritis and controls. Current and former professional footballers with hip osteoarthritis reported significantly lower physical health scores (p = 0.032, p = 0.002) than those without. Hip osteoarthritis led to a significantly lower score in the physical (p = 0.004) and mental (p = 0.014) component of HRQoL in former footballers compared to the controls, while in current footballers only the physical component was significantly (p = 0.012) lower compared to the controls. Hip osteoarthritis has a higher prevalence in former than in current professional footballers and impacts hip function and HRQoL negatively.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic disability. It is a progressive disease, involving pathological changes to the entire joint, resulting in joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of mobility. There is currently no disease-modifying pharmaceutical treatment for OA, and the treatments that do exist suffer from significant side effects. An increasing understanding of the molecular pathways involved in OA is leading to many potential drug targets. However, both current and new therapies can benefit from a targeted approach that delivers drugs selectively to joints at therapeutic concentrations, while limiting systemic exposure to the drugs. Delivery systems including hydrogels, liposomes, and various types of particles have been explored for intra-articular drug delivery. This review will describe progress over the past several years in the development of polymer-based particles for OA treatment, as well as their in vitro, in vivo, and clinical evaluation. Systems based on biopolymers such as polysaccharides and polypeptides, as well as synthetic polyesters, poly(ester amide)s, thermoresponsive polymers, poly(vinyl alcohol), amphiphilic polymers, and dendrimers will be described. We will discuss the role of particle size, biodegradability, and mechanical properties in the behavior of the particles in the joint, and the challenges to be addressed in future research.

Comparing Intra-articular Injections of Leukocyte-Poor Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Low-Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid for the Treatment of Symptomatic Osteoarthritis of the Hip: A Double-Blind, Randomized Pilot Study. Orthop J Sports Med 2021; 9:2325967120969210. [PMID: 33786329 PMCID: PMC7934058 DOI: 10.1177/2325967120969210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) and leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (LP-PRP) are 2 nonoperative treatment options that have been studied in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: To compare the efficacy of intra-articular injections of low–molecular weight (LMW) HA and LP-PRP in patients with hip OA. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: A total of 34 patients (36 hips) presenting with signs of hip OA were randomized to receive 3 blinded, weekly intra-articular injections of either LP-PRP or LMW-HA. Patients were prospectively evaluated before injections and at 6 weeks and then at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. The primary outcome, conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) or a hip resurfacing procedure, was analyzed along with secondary outcomes including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score and hip range of motion. Results: The final analysis included 33 hips (mean Kellgren-Lawrence grade, 2.73) (LMW-HA: n = 14; LP-PRP: n = 19) in 31 patients (18 male; mean age, 53.8 years). Significantly more patients converted to THA or a hip resurfacing procedure in the LMW-HA group (7/14; 50.0%) (mean, 1.3 years after first injection) than the LP-PRP group (3/19; 15.8%) (mean, 0.73 years after first injection) (P = .035). There was no significant improvement or decline in any outcome scores within the LMW-HA group from before injections to 6 weeks or 3, 6, and 12 months. For the LP-PRP group, WOMAC overall (P = .032), joint (P = .030), and function scores (P = .025) significantly improved from before injections to 6 weeks, and WOMAC joint scores significantly improved from before injections to 6 months (P = .036). When comparing the difference between groups in internal rotation at 90° of hip flexion from before injections to 6 months, the LP-PRP group demonstrated a mean 5.0° improvement, while the LMW-HA group showed a mean 1.5° decrease (P = .028). Conclusion: Intra-articular hip injections of LP-PRP in patients with hip OA resulted in an improvement in WOMAC scores and hip internal rotation at 6 months and delayed the need for THA or a hip resurfacing procedure compared with treatment with LMW-HA. A longer follow-up is necessary to further compare the effects of LP-PRP and LMW-HA injections in patients with hip OA. Registration: NCT01920152 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Ann Rheum Dis 2021; 80:487-493. [PMID: 33451999 PMCID: PMC7958083 DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2020-218625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the natural course of hip osteoarthritis (OA) in a population of first-time presenters with hip complaints. Methods Data were collected at baseline and after 2, 5, 8 and 10 years on participants from the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee study with early symptomatic hip OA. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the natural course of the hip complaints with respect to clinical signs and symptoms, physical functioning and radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) features. Results In total, 588 participants were included with hip complaints and 86% completed the 10-year follow-up. The 10-year follow-up showed that 12% (69 participants) underwent hip replacement (HR), an increase of ROA of the hip (Kellgren and Lawrence score≥2) from 19% to 49%, and an increase in clinical hip OA according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria from 27% to 43%. All Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index subscales and physical activity remained on average constant during the 10-year follow-up for those who did not undergo an HR. The use of pain medication increased from 43% at baseline to 50% after 10 years. Conclusion One out of nine participants with early hip problems received an HR during the 10-year follow-up. Prevalence of clinical hip OA and hip ROA increased steadily during the 10-year follow-up. Overall, we observed more hip OA, but fewer or stable complaints with respect to clinical signs and symptoms, and physical functioning. So it could be cautiously concluded that after 10 years, first-time presenters with hip complaints either received an HR or their symptoms remained stable.
