Abstract
BACKGROUND This study assessed the hip survival rate and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of transtrochanteric curved varus osteotomy (CVO) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) compared with those of conservative management. METHODS The CVO group comprised 32 consecutive patients (39 hips) who underwent CVO for ONFH between 2000 and 2011. The conservative group consisted of 36 consecutive patients (37 hips) who were managed conservatively for at least 1 year after collapse and who had ONFH classified by the Japanese Investigation Committee of Health and Welfare as type B or C1, for which CVO is indicated. Kaplan-Meier analysis of hip survival used any ONFH-related therapeutic surgery as the endpoint. PROMs were evaluated for all patients with surviving hips and radiographs available at the latest follow-up. RESULT The 10-year hip survival rate in the CVO group was 86.7%, which was significantly higher than the 51.0% 5-year survival rate in the conservative group (p < 0.0001). The Oxford Hip Score and UCLA Activity Score were significantly better in the CVO group without joint space narrowing than in the conservative group, with no significant differences between the CVO group with joint space narrowing and the conservative group. CONCLUSION CVO could preserve hip joints more effectively than conservative follow-up after collapse, although the presence of joint space narrowing could reduce satisfaction levels even in patients with long-term hip survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The location of the lateral boundary of the necrotic lesion to the weight-bearing portion of the acetabulum (Type classification) is an important factor for collapse in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Recent studies also reported the significance of the location of the anterior boundary of the necrotic lesion on the occurrence of collapse. We aimed to assess the effects of the location of both anterior and lateral boundaries of the necrotic lesion on collapse progression in ONFH. METHODS We recruited 55 hips with post-collapse ONFH from 48 consecutive patients, who were conservatively followed for more than one year. Using a plain lateral radiograph (Sugioka's lateral view), the location of the anterior boundary of the necrotic lesion to the weight-bearing portion of the acetabulum was classified as follows: Anterior-area I (two hips) occupying the medial one-third or less; Anterior-area II (17 hips) occupying the medial two-thirds or less; and Anterior-area III (36 hips) occupying greater than the medial two-thirds. The amount of femoral head collapse was measured by biplane radiographs at the onset of hip pain and each follow-up period, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves with collapse progression (≥1 mm) as the endpoint were produced. The probability of collapse progression was also assessed by the combination of Anterior-area and Type classifications. RESULTS Collapse progression was observed in 38 of the 55 hips (69.0%). The survival rate of hips with Anterior-area III/Type C2 was significantly lower. Among hips with Type B/C1, collapse progression occurred more frequently in hips with Anterior-area III (21 of 24 hips) than in hips with Anterior-area I/II (3 of 17 hips, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Adding the location of the anterior boundary of the necrotic lesion to Type classification was useful to predict collapse progression especially in hips with Type B/C1.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the changes and the factors in physical activity as following total hip arthroplasty (THA). There are potential discrepancies between subjective and objective measurements of physical activity. Thus, our porpose is to compare objective and subjective measurements of activity levels in patients undergoing THA preoperatively, three months and one year following surgery, and investigated the factors that predicts the objective activity level after THA. METHODS This prospective observational study included 42 patients with unilateral symptomatic hip osteoarthritis who underwent THA. The objective activity level (step counts, sit-to-stands, and upright time) by using a tri-axial accelerometer, PRO (Oxford hip score; OHS and University of California, Los Angeles activity score; UCLA score), and muscle volume around the hip joint by using preoperative computed tomography were measured. RESULTS The number of steps, OHS, and UCLA score before, at three months, and one year after THA averaged 5092, 6532, and 6545 steps, 30.3, 43.0, and 44.2 points, and 3.4, 4.8, and 4.6 points, respectively, with significant postoperative increases (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between three months and one year postoperatively. In multivariate analysis, younger age and higher preoperative contralateral gluteal medius volume were the predictors of higher postoperative step counts (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Physical activity, including step counts, OHS, and UCLA score increased significantly until three months after unilateral THA. Early surgical intervention before contralateral muscle declines and preoperative rehabilitation including contralateral side may additionally improve postoperative activity levels.

Abstract
Purpose The dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the femoral head is higher than that after total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. However, few reports have investigated the factors contributing to dislocation after total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The aim of this study was to assess radiological factors associated with posterior dislocation after total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 179 cementless total hip arthroplasties for osteonecrosis of the femoral head using a posterolateral approach between 2002 and 2020 with a minimum follow-up period of 24 months. The following radiological factors were examined for a possible association with posterior dislocation after total hip arthroplasty: cup anteversion angle, cup inclination angle, femoral offset, and stem anteversion angle. Results Posterior dislocation occurred in seven hips (3.9 %). Compared to hips without posterior dislocation, those with posterior dislocation exhibited a significantly smaller cup anteversion angle (p = 0.045) and a nonsignificantly greater decrease in femoral offset (p = 0.089). Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analyses, the cutoff values for predicting posterior dislocation were 9.9° for the cup anteversion angle and 8.1 mm for the decrease in femoral offset. Logistic regression analysis showed a significantly higher risk of posterior dislocation among hips with a cup anteversion angle less than 9.9° (odds ratio = 7.1, p = 0.022) or with a decrease in femoral offset over 8.1 mm (odds ratio = 5.0, p = 0.040). Conclusions A small cup anteversion angle and a decreased femoral offset are suggested to be associated with posterior dislocation after total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
Synovial tissue-resident macrophages (STRMs) maintain normal joint homeostasis in a steady state. However, it is unclear whether STRMs still play homeostatic roles or change the functions in the joint of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where infiltrating peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages (PBMoMs) play proinflammatory roles. In the present study, we examined changes in the phenotypes and functions of STRMs in response to RA-related stimuli in vitro. STRMs were prepared from non-inflammatory osteoarthritis (OA) joint synovium, which is histologically indistinguishable from normal joint synovium. PBMoMs were prepared and used for comparison. After stimulation with plate-bound IgG, which mimics anti-citrullinated protein antibody immunocomplex formed in RA joints, or with combinations of RA-related inflammatory mediators, namely tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and prostaglandin E2 or interferon-γ, PBMoMs downregulated surface markers and genes associated with anti-inflammatory macrophages, and upregulated cytokine and marker genes of proinflammatory macrophages in RA. On the other hand, STRMs hardly changed the expression of surface molecules and marker genes but altered the pattern of cytokine gene expression after stimulation like PBMoMs. Furthermore, in vitro stimulated STRMs promote proinflammatory functions of cocultured synovial fibroblasts. Thus, STRMs might play proinflammatory roles in RA joints, while maintaining their phenotypes in the steady state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to clarify the relationship between vitamin D status and complications after periacetabular osteotomy. METHODS A total of 46 hips of 39 patients (3 men and 36 women; mean age at surgery, 41.0 years; mean postoperative follow-up duration, 63 months) were reviewed to obtain the following information: patients' serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] status, prevalence of postoperative delayed union of osteotomy sites in the greater trochanter (DUGT) and ischiopubic stress fractures (IPSFs), and risk factors. RESULTS The mean serum 25(OH)D level was 11.9 ng/ml. DUGT and IPSF were found in four (10.3%) and three (7.7%) patients, respectively. Serum 25(OH)D levels ≤ 11 ng/ml were significantly associated with DUGT in female patients (p = .02). Serum 25(OH)D levels ≤ 9 ng/ml and smoking were significantly associated with IPSF (p = 0.01 and 0.02, respectively). Overall, 21.7% of patients with serum 25(OH)D levels ≤ 11 ng/ml developed at least one complication; no complications occurred when serum 25(OH)D levels were >11 ng/ml. CONCLUSION Severe vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in relatively young patients. Vitamin D deficiency and smoking were independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Proactive supplementation is advisable to reduce postoperative complications, especially in patients with serum 25(OH)D levels ≤ 11 ng/ml.

Abstract
No report has clarified the frequency and interacting factors affecting sleep disturbance among Asian patients at midterm after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of sleep disturbance at midterm after TKA in a Japanese cohort and to identify intervening factors for sleep. We hypothesized that residual knee pain and decreased functional capability negatively interact with sleep quality after TKA. A total of 209 Japanese participants (average age: 77.1 ± 8.3 years; postoperative follow-up period: 4.5 ± 1.9 years) who underwent primary TKA for knee osteoarthritis were included in this study. Sleep quality, satisfaction, pain, functional capability, joint awareness, and mental condition were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Knee Society Score (KSS) 2011, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS)-12, and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Component Summary (MCS). Multivariable analysis was performed to determine the influencing factors on PSQI. The scores for the PSQI, satisfaction with pain level while lying in bed, pain during level walking, functional activity category in the KSS 2011, awareness of the artificial joint in bed at night in the FJS-12, and SF-12 MCS were 6.7 ± 3.0, 5.8 ± 1.8, 1.6 ± 2.3, 62 ± 22, 1.5 ± 1.4, and 56 ± 9.3 on average, respectively. Sleep disturbance (PSQI ≥ 5.5) occurred in 54% of the Japanese participants. Multivariable analysis revealed that high functional capability was a significant factor associated with sleep quality improvement (p < 0.05). Decreased functional capability, not residual knee pain, negatively interacted with sleep quality. The sleep disturbance rate was high during the middle postoperative period after TKA in the Japanese cohort.

Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the clinical utility of the sourcil roundness index (SRI), a novel index for quantifying the asphericity of the acetabular concavity, by determining (1) the difference in the SRI between dysplastic and normal hips and (2) the correlation between the SRI and radiographic parameters of hip dysplasia. We reviewed standing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs of 109 dysplastic and 40 normal hips. The SRI was determined as the ratio of the distance from the medial edge of the sourcil to the most concave point of the acetabular sourcil (A) to the distance from the medial to the lateral edge of the sourcil (B). The formula for SRI is (A/B) × 100-50 (%), with an SRI of 0% indicating a perfectly spherical acetabulum, and higher SRI values indicating a more aspherical shape. The median SRI was greater in patients with hip dysplasia than in normal hips (5.9% vs. - 1.4%; p < 0.001). Furthermore, the median SRI was greater in the severe dysplasia subgroup (18.9%) than in the moderate (3.5%) and borderline-to-mild (- 1.3%) dysplasia subgroups (p < 0.05). Quantification of acetabular concavity asphericity by the SRI showed that dysplastic hips had a more lateral acetabular concave point than normal hips, and that the severity of hip dysplasia had an effect on the acetabular concavity asphericity.

Abstract
There are no studies that have investigated the characteristics of car use across THA patients, including those who do not drive. This study aimed to evaluate, in THA patients, (1) postoperative car usage, (2) comfort while entering and exiting a car, and (3) whether lower limb muscle strength affects action comfort. One hundred seventy-two post-THA patients completed the questionnaire in 2020, along with assessments of hip abductor and knee extensor muscle strength before surgery and at discharge. Patients whose overall comfort level was judged as comfortable were defined as the comfort group; others were placed in the discomfort group. Of the 172 patients, 161 reported car usage at a mean of 5.6 years after THA. Of these, 114 and 47 patients were placed in the comfort and discomfort groups, respectively. Patients in the discomfort group were three times more likely to experience discomfort using the contralateral side door than the surgical side door, and about twice as many patients experienced discomfort when entering as when exiting. Lower preoperative contralateral hip abductor muscle strength was the only independent predictor for discomfort. The take-home messages were that prevention of contralateral-side weakness may improve comfort during the action after THA.

Abstract
There are no reports on hip kinetics including contact forces and muscle activities during the golf swing after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of three-dimensional dynamics during the golf swing. Ten unilateral primary THA patients participated in motion capture test of their driver golf swing. The driver swing produced approximately 20-30° of rotation in both lead and trail replaced hips. The mean hip contact forces (HCFs) of lead and trail replaced hips were 5.1 and 6.6 × body weight, respectively. Left and right THAs showed similar HCFs of lead and trail hips. More than 60% of the Percent maximum voluntary isometric contraction was found in bilateral iliopsoas muscles in all unilateral THA. Three factors [female sex, lower modified Harris Hip Score, and higher HCF of surgical side] were associated with the golf-related replacement hip pain. Golf is an admissible sport after THA because driver swings do not contribute excessive rotation or contact forces to hip prostheses. HCF could be reduced through swing adjustments, which may allow patients with golf-related replacement hip pain to develop a comfortable golf game free from pain.

Abstract
This study aimed to (1) set a reference value for anterior center edge angle (ACEA) for preoperative planning of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), (2) investigate the effects of pelvic rotation and inclination from false profile (FP) radiographs on the measured ACEA, and (3) determine the "appropriate range of positioning" for FP radiograph. This single-centered, retrospective study analyzed 61 patients (61 hips) who underwent PAO from April 2018 and May 2021. ACEA was measured in each digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) image of the FP radiograph reconstructed in different degrees of pelvic rotation. Detailed simulations were performed to determine the "appropriate range of positioning" (0.67 < ratio of the distance between the femoral heads to the diameter of the femoral head < 1.0). The vertical-center-anterior (VCA) angle was measured on the CT sagittal plane considering the patient-specific standing positions, and its correlation with the ACEA was investigated. The reference value of ACEA was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The ACEA measurement increased by 0.35° for every 1° pelvic rotation approaching the true lateral view. The pelvic rotation with the "appropriate range of positioning" was found at 5.0° (63.3-68.3°). The ACEA on the FP radiographs showed a good correlation with the VCA angle. The ROC curve revealed that an ACEA < 13.6° was associated with inadequate anterior coverage (VCA < 32°). Our findings suggest that during preoperative PAO planning, an ACEA < 13.6° on FP radiographs indicates insufficient anterior acetabular coverage. Images with the "appropriate positioning" can also have a measurement error of 1.7° due to the pelvic rotation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the axis connecting both anterior superior iliac spines (ASIS axis) as the absolute pelvic axis. No study has ever verified the accuracy of ASIS axis particularly on the AP pelvic radiograph, which cannot be specified on it. METHODS Sixty patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and fifty patients with femoral neck fracture were recruited as subjects without hip deformities and their CT scan data were collected. We defined the line through both center of femoral heads as absolute reference axis of pelvis three-dimensionally. On the coronal plane, the errors between the femoral head axis and the axes through six pelvic landmarks in total, including ASIS were analyzed. On the axial plane, the errors of the lines through four landmarks were analyzed in the same way. Finally, on the coronal images, the mediolateral diameter of the obturator foramen and the mediolateral distance between the midline of the sacrum and the pelvic cavity were measured to evaluate bilateral symmetry of the pelvis. RESULTS The errors tended to be smaller as the axes were closer to the femoral head axis (axes connecting bilateral superior aspects of the acetabulum and the teardrops) and the ASIS axis errors were moderate. The obturator foramen based on the ASIS axis was more asymmetrical than the femoral head axis. CONCLUSION Adjusting the pelvic tilt and rotation, surgeons should not always rely on the ASIS and refer to appropriate, close to the hip joint references in each case.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to evaluate improvement in the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in comparison with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in cohorts over age 60 matched by pre-operative age, gender, body mass index (BMI), hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), KOOS sub-scores, and osteoarthritis (OA) grade. METHODS Propensity score matching was performed between 162 HTO patients and 134 TKA patients. When calculating the propensity score by multivariate logistic regression analysis, the following pre-operative confounders were included: age, gender, BMI, HKAA, KOOS sub-scores, and OA grade. Consequently, a total of 55 patients were included in each group. The Student's t-test was used to analyse differences in the post-operative KOOS sub-scores between groups. RESULTS After propensity score matching, all matched pre-operative valuables were identical, with no significant differences between the HTO and TKA groups. None of the post-operative KOOS sub-scores at 1 year after surgery showed a significant difference between the HTO and TKA groups. Both groups demonstrated significant and comparable post-operative improvement in every KOOS sub-score. CONCLUSIONS In patients over age 60, there was no significant difference in short-term pain relief and improvements in activity and quality of life between HTO and TKA after propensity score matching including pre-operative age, KOOS sub-scores, and OA grade. HTO is a joint preservation procedure that is valid for knee OA even in individuals over age 60.

Abstract
PURPOSE The "Grand-piano sign" is a popular indicator of the appropriate rotational alignment of the femoral component during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the study was to investigate the shape of the anterior femoral resection surface of varus and valgus knees. METHODS A cohort of 80 varus knees and 40 valgus knees (hip-knee-ankle angle > 2° for varus and < - 2° for valgus knees) matched for age, sex, height, body weight, and KL grade was made using propensity score matching. Virtual TKA was performed using 3 patterns of components (anterior flange flexion angles of 3°, 5°, and 7°). The anterior femoral resection surface was evaluated for 3 patterns of rotational alignments: parallel to the surgical epicondylar axis (NR, neutral rotation), 3° internal rotation (IR), and 3°external rotation (ER) relative to the surgical epicondylar axis. In each anterior femoral resection surface, the vertical height of medial and lateral condyles was measured, and the ratio of the medial to the lateral height (M/L ratio) was evaluated. RESULTS The M/L ratio in NR for both varus and valgus knees was 0.57 to 0.64, with no significant difference between the cohorts (p value > 0.05). The M/L ratio showed a similar pattern of increasing at IR and decreasing at ER in both varus and valgus knees. The variation in the M/L ratio with malrotation in valgus knees was smaller than in varus knees. CONCLUSION During TKA, the anterior femoral resection surface was similar in varus and valgus knees; however, the variation with malrotation was smaller in valgus knees than in varus knees. TKA for valgus knees requires precise surgical technique and careful intraoperative assessment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, Case series.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with chronic pain, oral analgesics are essential treatment options to manage pain appropriately, improve activities of daily living abilities and achieve a higher quality of life (QOL). It is desirable to select analgesics for elderly patients based on comparative data on analgesic effect and risk of adverse events; however, there are few comparative studies so far. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the efficacy and safety of acetaminophen are non-inferior to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis of the hip and knee in elderly patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a multicentre, randomised controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study to compare the analgesic effect and adverse events between acetaminophen or NSAIDs (loxoprofen or celecoxib). A total of 400 elderly patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and knee will be recruited from five institutions in Japan. Patients of 65 years or older with osteoarthritis-related pain will be registered and randomly assigned to acetaminophen, loxoprofen or celecoxib with 2:1:1 allocation. The primary endpoint is change in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) item 3 (worst pain) score from baseline to week 8. The secondary endpoints are BPI item 3 score change from baseline to week 4, health-related QOL measured by Short Form-8 Health Survey, and occurrence of adverse events including gastrointestinal disorders and abnormal liver function. Data will be analysed in accordance with a predefined statistical analysis plan. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study protocol was approved by the Kyushu University Hospital Certified Institutional Review Board for Clinical Trials on 28 January 2021 (KD2020004) and the chief executive of each participating hospital. The results of the study will be submitted to international peer-reviewed journals, and the main findings will be presented at international scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER jRCTs071200112.

Abstract
To our knowledge, only one previous report described the treatment of osteochondral autograft for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the humeral head (ONHH) in a middle-aged patient. The present report describes a 20-year-old man who was found to have avascular osteonecrosis of the right humeral head after corticosteroid pulse treatment, followed by oral corticosteroid therapy. The patient complained of serious right shoulder pain and limited range of motion (ROM). Anteroposterior (AP) radiographs of the right shoulder revealed a crescent sign at the humeral head, indicating subchondral bone collapse with a linear sclerotic change and normal articular surface of the glenoid. The case was categorized as Stage 3 according to the Cruess classification. In general, Cruess classification Stage 3 is treated with humeral head replacement and shoulder arthroplasty. The patient underwent surgical treatment involving osteochondral autograft transplantation. Autografts were harvested from the right knee. At the 1.5-year follow-up, the patient was pain-free and showed an improved active ROM. Furthermore, AP radiographs demonstrated that the glenohumeral joint space was maintained, and no progression of humeral head collapse was observed. This case may be helpful in decision-making if young patients with ONHH require surgical treatment. Furthermore, osteochondral autograft transplantation may be an effective treatment for ONHH.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the factors impacting changes in valgus laxity between before and after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) using quantitative valgus stress radiographs. METHODS A total of 40 knees from 38 patients who underwent OW-HTO were assessed. The study population comprised 14 men and 24 women, with a mean age of 61.5 years. Valgus stress radiographs before and 1 year after OW-HTO were performed using a Telos device. The difference between pre- and postoperative joint line convergence angle (JLCA) was expressed as ΔJLCA (post-pre). As indicators of the proximal detachment of superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) on radiographs, two distances were defined: the distance from the level of the osteotomy starting point to the tangent line of the proximal tibial plateau (Distance A), or to the medial edge of the proximal tibial plateau (Distance B). Correlations between ΔJLCA and radiographic parameters or KOOS sub-scores were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis. Receiver operator curves were generated to evaluate the predictive strength of the significant factor for an increase in ΔJLCA > 1°. RESULTS Pre-operative OA severity consisted of Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 (n = 18), 3 (n = 16), and 4 (n = 6). The average ΔJLCA (post-pre) was 0.5°, and ranged from - 1.4° to + 3.0°. The maximum systemic measurement error and limits of agreement were 0.07° and 0.20°, respectively. There were significant correlations between ΔJLCA and Distance A (36.9 ± 3.9 mm, R = - 0.46, p = 0.002), between ΔJLCA and Distance B (39.9 ± 4.0 mm, R = - 0.49, p = 0.001). The cut-off value for Distance A was determined to be 35 mm below the tibial plateau; the AUC was 0.804, with a sensitivity of 0.75 and a specificity of 0.82. Distance B correlated strongly with Distance A (R = 0.96, p < 0.001). There was no significant correlation between ΔJLCA and KOOS sub-scores 1 year after OW-HTO. CONCLUSIONS Transverse osteotomy closer to tibial plateau was associated with larger valgus joint laxity postoperatively. This finding implies that sMCL proximal detachment, which was related to the level of the osteotomy starting point on the proximal tibia, potentially affected postoperative valgus laxity.

Abstract
To decrease hip abductor dysfunction after periacetabular osteotomy using a lateral/trochanteric approach, we aimed to modify transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA) to not cut the greater trochanter and abductor-iliac crest detachment. We subsequently compared abductor muscle strength recovery between TOAs with [conventional TOA (C-TOA)] and without [modified TOA (M-TOA)] trochanteric osteotomy. C-TOA and M-TOA were performed in 27 and 34 hips, respectively. Hip abduction, flexion and knee extension muscle strength were measured preoperatively and at 3, 5, 10, 24 and 52 weeks postoperatively. The muscle strength ratio of the affected and contralateral lower limbs was compared between the C-TOA and M-TOA groups. Neither the mean Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score at the final follow-up nor the postoperative center-edge angle showed significant differences between the M-TOA and C-TOA groups (15.7 versus 16.4 points; P = 0.25 and 38.5° versus P = 0.62 and 39.8°, respectively). The mean muscle strength ratios of hip abduction at 5, 12 and 24 weeks postoperatively were significantly higher in the M-TOA group than in the C-TOA group (0.62 versus 0.39, 0.76 versus 0.59 and 0.94 versus 0.70; P = 0.03, 0.04 and 0.01, respectively). There were no significant differences between groups at Postoperative Week 52 (P = 0.36). Discomfort at the greater trochanter was observed in 18 hips (66.7%) in the C-TOA group but only in 4 hips (11.2%) in the M-TOA group. In conclusion, M-TOA is less invasive than C-TOA and allows an earlier recovery of abductor muscle strength without significant correction loss.

Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to elucidate target cup orientation and stem anteversions to avoid impingement between the liner and stem neck even at hip rotation with adduction during the deeply flexed posture.Methods: A computer simulation analysis was performed on 32 total hip arthroplasty patients applying patient-specific orientation of the components and in vivo hip kinematics obtained from three-dimensional analysis of the squatting motion. The anterior/posterior liner-to-neck distance and impingement were evaluated based on a virtual change in internal/external rotation (0°–60°) and adduction/abduction (0°–20°) at actual maximum flexion/extension during squatting. Cutoff values of cup orientations, stem anteversion, and combined anteversion to avoid liner-to-neck impingements were determined.Results: The anterior liner-to-neck distance decreased as internal rotation or adduction increased, and the posterior liner-to-neck distance decreased as external rotation or adduction increased. Negative correlations were found between anterior/posterior liner-to-neck distances at maximum flexion/extension and internal/external rotation. Anterior/posterior liner-to-neck impingements were observed in 6/18 hips (18/56%) at 45° internal/external rotation with 20° adduction. The range of target cup anteversion, stem anteversion, and combined anteversion to avoid both anterior and posterior liner-to-neck impingements during squatting were 15°–18°, 19°–34°, and 41°–56°, respectively.Conclusion: Simulated hip rotations caused prosthetic impingement during squatting. Surgeons could gain valuable insights into target cup orientations and stem anteversion based on postoperative simulations during the deeply flexed posture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Missing responses are common when Asian patients complete the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), which is widely used to evaluate total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to provide orthopaedic researchers with a solution for handling missing values in such patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS Patients who had undergone primary THA between 1998 and 2016 (n = 1,021) were investigated in 2020. The FJS-12 and 9 other PROMs, including questions related to Asian lifestyle activities, were administered. Risk factors for missing FJS-12 items were investigated. Partial respondents were matched with complete respondents; then, in each pair, the items not completed by the partial respondent were deleted from the responses of the complete respondent. Predictive mean matching (PMM) was performed in an attempt to recover the deleted items, using 65 sets of imputation models. After the missing values had been imputed, we explored patient characteristics that affected the FJS-12, using data from all complete and partial respondents. RESULTS A total of 652 patients responded to the survey (393 complete and 193 partial respondents). Partial respondents were older, more often female, and less active. Older respondents were more likely to skip items involving the bed, while those who reported a better ability to sit in the seiza style (traditional Japanese floor sitting) were more likely to skip items about chair sitting. The imputed FJS-12 value exhibited excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient for agreement with the true scores, 0.985). FJS-12 values of complete respondents were significantly higher than those of respondents with 4 to 11 missing items (51.6 versus 32.8, p < 0.001). Older age was associated with higher FJS-12 values, which was revealed only via analysis of the multiply imputed data sets (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Analysis of only complete FJS-12 responses after THA resulted in a nonresponse bias, preferentially excluding older, female, and less active individuals and those with a traditional floor living style. Multiple imputation could provide a solution to scoring and analyzing PROMs with missing responses by permitting the inclusion of partial respondents. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the size differences of 19 different femoral component placements from the standard position in total knee arthroplasty using 3-dimensional virtual surgery. Methods Three-dimensional bone models were reconstructed from the computed tomography data of 101 varus osteoarthritic knees. The distal femoral bone was cut perpendicular to the femoral mechanical axis (MA) in the coronal plane. Twenty different component placements consisting of 5 cutting directions (perpendicular to MA, 3° and 5° extension relative to MA [3°E-MA and 5°E-MA, respectively], and 3° and 5° flexion relative to MA [3°F-MA and 5°F-MA, respectively]) in the sagittal plane, 2 rotational alignments (clinical epicondylar axis [CEA] and surgical epicondylar axis [SEA]), and 2 rotational types of anterior reference guide (central [CR] and medial [MR]) were simulated. Results The mean anteroposterior dimension of femur ranged from 54.3 mm (5°F-MA, SEA, CR) to 62.5 mm (5°E-MA, CEA, MR). The largest and smallest differences of anteroposterior dimension from the standard position (3°F-MA, SEA, and CR) were 7.1 ± 1.3 mm (5°E-MA, CEA, and MR) and −1.2 ± 0.2 mm (5°F-MA, SEA, and CR), respectively. Multiple regression analysis revealed that flexion cutting direction, SEA, and CR were associated with smaller component size. Conclusions The femoral component size can be affected easily by not only cutting direction but also the reference guide type and the target alignment. Our findings could provide surgeons with clinically useful information to fine-tune for unintended loose or tight joint gaps by adjusting the component size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In modern society, car usage is one of the most important activities of daily living. However, the three-dimensional (3D) mechanics of getting into and out of a car in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients have not been studied. RESEARCH QUESTION This study aimed to elucidate the hip kinematics and kinetics of unilateral THA patients while getting into and out of a car. METHODS 3D motion and ground reaction force data were collected for 40 unilateral primary THA and 30 control participants using motion capture of getting into and out of a car. Normalized joint power was used to determine the individual joint contribution and was calculated by dividing the power of each joint by the total lower-extremity power. These kinematic and kinetic data were compared between unilateral THA and control participants. RESULTS When getting into the car using the surgical side as the pivot limb, the peak flexion, abduction angle, and normalized power of the pivot hip were significantly lower, and the normalized power of the contralateral ankle was significantly higher. The peak flexion and abduction angle of the pivot hip were significantly lower, and normalized contralateral hip power was significantly higher when getting out of the car. In getting into and out of the car using the contralateral side as the pivot limb, there was no significant difference in the range of motion (RoM) and normalized joint power. SIGNIFICANCE The restoration of RoM and muscle strength in the surgical hip joint and adopting the normal side as the pivot limb may allow for a more appropriate balance in motion of getting into and out of a car, which will lead to safe mobility, assist in social participation, and improved quality of life.

Abstract
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective joint-preserving procedure for developmental dysplasia of the hip. However, some patients report dissatisfaction after PAO. Because patient satisfaction is increasingly used as a health care quality metric, it is important to gain a better understanding of factors associated with patient satisfaction after PAO. The goal of this study was to investigate patient satisfaction among a cohort of Asian patients undergoing PAO. This study included 227 Asian patients who had undergone PAO at our institution between 1998 and 2016. The study participants completed a questionnaire assessing patient satisfaction, reasons for dissatisfaction, and postoperative Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), activity scale score. Based on their satisfaction levels, the participants were divided into 4 subgroups, and their demographic characteristics and postoperative patient-reported outcomes were compared. Of the 227 patients, 190 expressed satisfaction that correlated with OHS-pain, OHD-activities of daily living, and UCLA activity scale scores. Primary reasons for dissatisfaction after PAO were persistent pain (24 of 49, 49%), functional limitations (14 of 49, 29%), stiffness around the hip (4 of 49, 8%), unmet expectations (4 of 49, 8%), conversion to total hip arthroplasty (2 of 49, 4%), and complications (1 of 49, 2%). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1 and 3 were the significant predictive factors for satisfaction and dissatisfaction, respectively. The potential for lower patient satisfaction associated with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 because of persistent pain and functional limitations postoperatively suggests that consideration of preoperative severity of osteoarthritis could enhance patient satisfaction after PAO.

Abstract
Background The coronal whole-leg radiograph is generally used for preoperative planning in total knee arthroplasty. The distal femoral valgus angle (DFVA) is measured for distal femoral bone resection using an intramedullary guide rod. The effect of coronal and sagittal femoral shaft bowing on DFVA measurement in the presence of malrotation or knee flexion contracture has not been well reported. The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the effects of whole-leg malrotation and knee flexion contracture on the DFVA in detail, (2) to determine the additional effect of coronal or sagittal femoral shaft bowing. Methods We studied 100 consecutive varus and 100 valgus knees that underwent total or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Preoperative CT scans were used to create digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) images in neutral rotation (NR, parallel to the surgical epicondylar axis), and at 5° and 10° external rotation (ER) and internal rotation (IR). The images were also reconstructed at 10° femoral flexion. The DFVA was evaluated in each DRR image, and the angular variation due to lower limb malposition was investigated. Results The DFVA increased as the DRR image shifted from IR to ER, and all angles increased further from extension to 10° flexion. The DFVA variation in each position was 1.3° on average. A larger variation than 2° was seen in 12% of all. Multivariate regression analysis showed that sagittal femoral shaft bowing was independently associated with a large variation of DFVA. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that more than 12° of sagittal bowing caused the variation. Conclusion If femoral sagittal bowing is more than 12°, close attention should be paid to the lower limb position when taking whole-leg radiographs. Preoperative planning with whole-leg CT data should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relative impact of soft tissue balance and knee laxity on clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not fully understood. We analyzed associations among knee laxity, kinematics, and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS Knee Society Scores were recorded in 67 patients before and after primary TKA for osteoarthritis with varus deformity (N = 78). Varus and valgus laxity was measured in 78 knees using stress radiographs. Knee kinematics were measured fluoroscopically during stair ascent in 16 knees. RESULTS On average, varus laxity decreased significantly, and valgus laxity increased significantly after TKA, although the net combined varus-valgus laxity did not change significantly. Postoperatively, the magnitude of valgus laxity correlated significantly with greater patient symptoms and satisfaction scores. Patients with medial pivot kinematics scored higher on patient satisfaction and standard activities. CONCLUSION We found that postoperative valgus laxity and medial pivot kinematics were significantly associated with better clinical outcomes. These results emphasize the importance of careful preoperative planning and attention to intraoperative alignment and ligament balancing.

Abstract
Background In performing primary constrained total knee arthroplasties (TKA) to imbalanced knees, the offset stem is sometimes compelled to use, although this is associated with surgical difficulties. We developed a modified procedure which might be able to fit the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) position of the femoral component simultaneously with the straight stem. Purposes of this study were to evaluate usefulness of the modified procedure both in computer simulations and actual surgeries. Methods We included 32 knees that had undergone primary TKA using constrained implants because of the coronal imbalance. In the component-first procedure, the distal femur was prepared to fit the AP and ML position of the femoral component simultaneously at first, as in primary TKA. Finally, the stem hole is created based on the femoral component position (the component-first procedure). The femoral component and extension stem were simulated using the three-dimensional planning software (ZedKnee) following the component-first procedure. We investigated the suitability of the straight stem through computer simulation and evaluation of actual surgeries. Clinical and radiographical outcomes were also evaluated at the latest follow-up. Results The component-first procedure enabled the AP and ML position of the femoral component to be fitted simultaneously with the straight stem in simulations and actual surgeries in all cases. The stem diameter was not significantly different between simulations and actual surgeries (13.9 and 13.7 mm on average, respectively, p = 0.479) and almost similar from intraclass correlation coefficient analysis (kappa value 0.790). Clinical and radiographical outcomes were almost similar to primary TKA cases and there was no case of component loosening, cortical bone hypertrophy around the stem and stem-tip pain. Conclusions Our improved surgical procedure may facilitate use of the constrained implant for more cases of primary TKA in imbalanced knees without the usual surgical difficulties. Trial registration Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements associated with leg alignment on a teleoroentgenogram and an orthoroentgenogram. METHODS The models being irradiated were manufactured and represented 10° varus and 15° varus leg alignment, in which the true values of hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), mechanical axis (MA) length, and percentage of MA (%MA) were already known. HKAA, MA length, and %MA were measured in various radiographic conditions of the teleoroentgenogram and orthoroentgenogram. Then, the differences between the radiographic measurement values and the corresponding true values were analyzed. RESULTS Regarding HKAA, the teleoroentgenogram provided accurate angular measurements with minimal differences between the measurement and true value in both the 10° and 15° varus models, irrespective of the radiographic condition. In the orthoroentgenogram, the modified method measured accurate HKAA; however, the standard method showed significant angular measurement errors with a 0.6° and 1.0° difference from the true value in the 10° and 15° varus models, respectively. This angular measurement error of HKAA in the standard orthoroentgenogram became significantly larger with object-to-image distance. Regarding MA length, the orthoroentgenogram exhibited accurate length measurements. In contrast, the teleoroentgenogram showed a significant length measurement error for the MA length. Regarding %MA, significant differences from the true values of 2.0% and 2.4% were observed in the modified orthoroentgenograms of the 10° and 15° varus models, respectively. The teleoroentgenogram and standard orthoroentgenogram reproduced the accurate measurement value of %MA in the 10° and 15° varus models. CONCLUSION A teleoroentgenogram is a reliable modality for accurate angular measurements such as HKAA and %MA. An orthoroentgenogram has the potential to measure both HKAA and length accurately if the radiographic condition was modified; however, measurement error in %MA may occur.

Abstract
Background To compare the degree of stem subsidence between two different femoral component designs and to determine the risk factors associated with stem subsidence after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Dorr type C femurs. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 104 consecutive hips in 100 patients with Dorr type C proximal femoral morphology who underwent primary cementless THA using a fit-and-fill stem or a tapered wedge femoral stem at our institution between January 2012 and June 2021. A fit-and-fill stem was used in 55 hips and a tapered wedge stem was used in 49 hips. Radiologically, the distance between the apex of the major trochanter and the stem shoulder were measured at three different time points (immediately [0W], one week [1W], and six weeks [6W] after surgery) and the degrees of stem subsidence were assessed by comparing the distance between 0 and 1W, 1W and 6W, and 0W and 6W, respectively. Results The mean degree of stem subsidence (0W vs. 1W) was 0.24 mm (standard deviation [SD] 0.36) in the fit-and-fill stem group, and 0.23 mm (SD 0.41) in the tapered wedge stem group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.4862). However, the mean degrees of subsidence were significantly higher in the fit-and-fill stem group (1W vs. 6W, 0.38 mm [SD 0.68]; 0W vs. 6W, 0.65 mm [SD 0.87]) than in the tapered wedge stem group (1W vs. 6W, 0.16 mm [SD 0.32]; 0W vs. 6W, 0.24 mm [SD 0.38]) (P < 0.05 for both). In addition, the rates of > 3 mm subsidence (in which instability can be observed) were 18.2% (10 of 55 hips) and 2.0% (1 of 49 hips), respectively. There was also a significant difference between the two stems (P = 0.0091). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that fit-and-fill stem was a risk factor for > 3 mm subsidence after THA in Dorr type C femurs (P = 0.0050). Conclusion Our findings suggest that the tapered wedge stem is more suitable for Dorr type C femurs than the fit-and-fill stem to avoid early postoperative subsidence in cementless THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is important to investigate anatomical differences of the femur and tibia three-dimensionally between varus and valgus knees to enhance surgical approaches and better understand structural factors related to specific patterns of osteoarthritis progression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-dimensional femoral and tibial bone models were reconstructed from transverse computed-tomography scans in varus osteoarthritis (43 knees), valgus osteoarthritis (40 knees) and healthy (32 knees) groups. Different coordinate systems were defined in each femoral bone model ("Knee" and "Hip" Coordinate System). Femoral neck inclination, lateral bowing, anterior bowing and neck anteversion were measured and compared between Knee and Hip Coordinate Systems. Those parameters were also compared between varus, valgus and healthy groups. The tibial anterior and lateral bowing, external torsion and the fibular axis relative to the tibial mechanical axis were measured and compared between varus and valgus groups. RESULTS Femoral neck anteversion was significantly 1-2° greater in the Hip Coordinate System compared to the Knee Coordinate System. Femoral neck anteversion was significantly smaller in varus knees than in healthy or valgus knees, with average difference of approximately 5°. The knee and hip joint are often rotated externally relative to the trunk axis in patients with varus osteoarthritis, perhaps maintaining the geometric relations between pelvis and proximal femur (including peripheral hip muscles) regardless of knee deformities. The fibular axis was inclined slightly valgus and posteriorly in two groups. CONCLUSIONS The results may inform hypotheses on, and future studies of, skeletal morphologic development and factors contributing to the progression of knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
[Purpose] To determine patient satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty in a Japanese
cohort and to identify factors that significantly influence patient satisfaction.
[Participants and Methods] This study included 285 patients who underwent primary total
hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Postoperative satisfaction, Oxford hip score, short
form-12 mental component summary score, and University of California Los Angeles activity
score were investigated. Muscle strength and daily step counts were determined using a
hand-held dynamometer (μ-Tas F1) and activity monitor (ActivPAL) in 89 and 26 patients,
respectively. Factors associated with postoperative satisfaction, Oxford hip
score-activities of daily living, and University of California Los Angeles activity score
were identified. The relationship between the Oxford hip score-activities of daily living
and daily step counts was examined. [Results] Overall, 94.7% of the patients reported
satisfaction with total hip arthroplasty. The Oxford hip score-activities of daily living
and University of California Los Angeles activity score were significantly associated with
patient satisfaction. Younger age and hip abductor strength were significantly associated
with a higher Oxford hip score-activities of daily living and University of California Los
Angeles activity score. The average daily step count was significantly correlated with the
Oxford hip score-activities of daily living. [Conclusion] Self-reported physical activity
levels significantly influenced patient satisfaction and were correlated with objective
muscle strength and daily step count measurements. These findings can guide total hip
arthroplasty patient counseling on the importance of muscle strength and activity
levels.

Abstract
PURPOSE In total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with previous femoral osteotomy, we hypothesized that a tapered cone stem may be an option due to the altered morphology of the proximal femur. The purpose of this study was to assess the short-term results of THA after femoral osteotomy using a tapered cone stem, and to identify issues that require further attention. METHODS Twenty-two hips in 21 consecutive patients who underwent THA after femoral osteotomy using a Wagner Cone tapered cone stem were retrospectively reviewed, with a mean follow-up period of 34.4 (range, 24-50) months. Clinical information was obtained from medical records. On preoperative radiographs, the Dorr type was classified based on the anteroposterior cortical index. On postoperative radiographs, the degree of stem subsidence and the stem location with the highest canal fill ratio were assessed. RESULTS The mean Harris hip score significantly improved from 55.2 at baseline to 84.8 at final follow-up. Radiologically, stem subsidence (>3 mm) was observed in seven hips, and it stabilized within 1 year after THA in all cases. In five of seven hips with stem subsidence, the highest postoperative canal fill ratio was observed in the distal third of the stem. The proportions of males and Dorr type A were significantly higher among hips with stem subsidence than among those without. During the follow-up period, no hips showed implant loosening or required revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of stem subsidence should be noted when using Wagner Cone stems for Dorr type A femurs after femoral osteotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this 3-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation study was to investigate the effects of axial and sagittal hinge axes (hinge axes in the axial and sagittal planes) on medial and lateral posterior tibial slope (PTS) in medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), and evaluate the quantitative relationship between hinge axis and PTS change. METHODS Preoperative computed tomography data from patients with varus knee deformity were collected. A standard hinge axis (0°) and 12 different hinge axes (6 axial hinge axes and 6 sagittal hinge axes: ±10°, ±20°, and ±30°) were defined in a 3D surgical simulation of OWHTO using a bone model. The differences between before and after simulation surgery in medial and lateral PTS, medial proximal tibial angle, opening gap, and opening wedge angle were measured. RESULTS In total, 93 varus knees in 93 patients were included for study. Compared with the standard hinge axis, axial hinge axis significantly affected medial and lateral PTS (P < .001). In contrast, sagittal hinge axis had no significant effect on medial and lateral PTS (P > .05). Every 10° change in axial hinge axis with a mean coronal valgus correction of 10° might result in approximately 1.6° of alteration in PTS. Stepwise regression analysis showed that axial hinge axis is the most significant factors affecting PTS (β coefficient = 0.78, P < .001), followed by opening wedge angle (β coefficient = 0.36, P < .001) and gap ratio (β coefficient = 0.12, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Based on our findings of 3D OWHTO simulation, axial hinge axis significantly influences medial and lateral PTS in OWHTO, but sagittal hinge axis has no effect on change in PTS. Every 10° change of axial hinge axis with a 10° coronal valgus correction caused approximately 1.6° change of PTS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Hinge axis in the axial plane significantly affects PTS, but hinge axis in the sagittal plane has no effect on PTS. To maintain PTS, surgeons should make hinge axis at the true lateral position of the tibia in the axial plane. To intentionally alter PTS, an anterolateral axial hinge axis could be used to decrease PTS or a posterolateral axial hinge axis could be used to increase PTS. Opening wedge angle or gap ratio is also useful for intentional modification of PTS.

Abstract
Coronal whole-leg radiography is generally used for preoperative open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) planning. Nevertheless, malrotational whole-leg radiographs could affect the planning, and the effects could possibly be strengthened by the knee flexed position. Consecutive 51 varus osteoarthritis knees that underwent OWHTO were included. The digitally reconstructed radiography (DRR) images parallel to the surgical epicondylar axis (neutral rotation; NR), 5° and 10° external rotation (ER) or internal rotation (IR), were reconstructed from preoperative CT. Preoperative weight-bearing line percentage (WBL%), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), planned opening angle, and planned postoperative MPTA were measured with OWHTO planning in each DRR image. Correlations among the measured differences relative to NR images and knee flexion angle were investigated. As the DRR image shifted from ER to IR, the differences in preoperative WBL% and MPTA gradually increased, whereas those in the opening angle gradually decreased, although all differences in the opening angle were within 0.5° on an average. Opening angle differences remarkably correlated with knee flexion angle, and knees with >10° flexion contracture had >1° difference in 10° ER or IR images. Planned postoperative MPTA had relatively high consistency regardless of whole-leg malrotation. The opening angle measurement using malrotated radiographs less than 10° would be clinically reliable in cases without knee flexion contracture. Nevertheless, extreme care should be taken in cases with >10° knee flexion contracture. The MPTA after medial opening would be a consistent and reliable parameter in whole-leg alignment evaluation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is an enzyme that mediates endocrinological responses, such as intracellular signaling of insulin and growth factors, and plays important roles in muscle homeostasis and growth. In this study, the effect of antemortem PI3K activity on meat quality traits was investigated using broiler chickens whose PI3K was inhibited pharmacologically. Breast and thigh muscles were harvested from broilers treated with the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin, and meat quality traits were evaluated by determination of color, water-holding capacity, and breaking strength. The pH and concentrations of glycogen and free amino acids were also investigated as determinants of the chemical properties of meat. The results indicated that antemortem PI3K inhibition by wortmannin modified breast muscle color with lower L∗ values (P < 0.05) and b∗ values (P < 0.05) and higher a∗ values (P < 0.05). Antemortem PI3K inhibition also increased the water-holding capacity of breast muscles (P < 0.05), although breaking strength was not much affected. In addition, antemortem PI3K inhibition increased the concentrations of free amino acids in breast muscles, especially arginine (P < 0.05) and glutamic acid (P < 0.05). Similar effects were observed in thigh muscles. Lower glycogen levels at sacrifice (P < 0.05) and the resultant higher pH during the postmortem period (P < 0.05) were associated with PI3K inhibition-induced changes in meat quality traits. The wortmannin-treated muscles shared certain features with dark, firm, and dry meat which is a common abnormal meat. These findings suggest that antemortem PI3K activity contributes to meat quality traits and is involved in the molecular mechanism of the production of meat quality abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To clarify contemporary indications for first-time revision surgery after primary cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) for addressing potential issues with cementless THA. METHODS Data for 101 consecutive hips in 94 patients who underwent primary cementless THA at our institution and subsequently underwent first-time revision surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics, indications for first-time revision surgery, and time from the primary THA to first-time revision surgery were evaluated. RESULTS The overall mean time to first-time revision surgery was 10.3 years (range, 0-33 years). The indications for first-time revision surgery were polyethylene wear and osteolysis in 33 hips, aseptic loosening in 25 hips, infection in 17 hips, periprosthetic fracture in 13 hips, instability in 8 hips, and component failure (liner dissociation or stem fracture) in 5 hips. Thirty-seven hips (37%) had undergone first-time revision surgery within 5 years of primary THA, of which the most common indications were infection and periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION The current results suggested that reducing the number of early failures seems to be essential form improving THA outcomes.

Abstract
Background It is still unclear whether morphological changes in hip disorders is a pathogenic or independent factor for the variations in leg alignment. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of the change in leg alignment after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the morphological factors affecting the ipsilateral and contralateral leg alignment. Methods Both pre-operative and post-operative bilateral whole-leg radiographs in the standing position were taken in 100 patients who underwent THA. Hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), height of the hip center, lateral width to the hip center, femoral offset, and leg length discrepancy were measured. After the pre-operative legs were divided into the varus, neutral, or valgus groups, correlations between the change in HKAA and each hip morphological parameter were assessed. Results The mean change in HKAA on the THA side was 0.8° in the varus direction, which was significantly correlated with JLCA change. On the leg ipsilateral to THA, if the pre-operative alignment was valgus, the medial shift of the hip center was significantly correlated with the varus change in HKAA. On the side contralateral to THA, the change in leg length discrepancy was a significant correlative factor to the varus change in HKAA, if the pre-operative alignment was valgus or neutral. Conclusion The significant morphological parameters affecting the ipsilateral and contralateral leg alignment after THA were medial shifting of the hip center and the change in leg length discrepancy, respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the usefulness of a whole-leg radiograph standing on lateral-wedge insole (LWI) for predicting the change in joint line convergence angle (JLCA) before vs. after high tibial osteotomy (HTO). METHODS Forty knees with medial osteoarthritis underwent open-wedge HTO. Pre-operatively, all patients had whole-leg radiographs taken in three different conditions: supine, standing, and standing on LWI inclined at 20°. A standing whole-leg radiograph was also obtained post-operatively. Radiological measurements including JLCA and percentage of mechanical axis (%MA) were compared. Using pre-operative radiographs, correction angles were calculated with the target %MA at 62.5%. Correlations between the difference in calculated correction angle among the three pre-operative conditions and the change in JLCA before vs. after HTO were assessed. RESULTS In the pre-operative standing conditions, the mean JLCA of 3.8° was significantly decreased to 3.2° using LWI, which did not differ from post-operative JLCA of 3.1°. Mean %MA significantly shifted laterally from 20.6 to 24.8% using LWI, and was strongly correlated with the change in JLCA (coefficient, 0.83). Calculated correction angles differed significantly among the three pre-operative conditions. The difference in calculated correction angle between standing with and without LWI was strongly correlated to the change in standing JLCA before vs. after HTO (coefficient, 0.73). CONCLUSION Larger differences in calculated correction angles between pre-operative radiographs standing with and without LWI predicted larger changes in JLCA after HTO. Whole-leg radiograph standing on LWI is a promising modality for correct pre-operative planning considering patient-specific changes in JLCA before vs. after HTO. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Aims Appropriate acetabular component placement has been proposed for prevention of postoperative dislocation in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Manual placements often cause outliers in spite of attempts to insert the component within the intended safe zone; therefore, some surgeons routinely evaluate intraoperative pelvic radiographs to exclude excessive acetabular component malposition. However, their evaluation is often ambiguous in case of the tilted or rotated pelvic position. The purpose of this study was to develop the computational analysis to digitalize the acetabular component orientation regardless of the pelvic tilt or rotation. Methods Intraoperative pelvic radiographs of 50 patients who underwent THA were collected retrospectively. The 3D pelvic bone model and the acetabular component were image-matched to the intraoperative pelvic radiograph. The radiological anteversion (RA) and radiological inclination (RI) of the acetabular component were calculated and those measurement errors from the postoperative CT data were compared relative to those of the 2D measurements. In addition, the intra- and interobserver differences of the image-matching analysis were evaluated. Results Mean measurement errors of the image-matching analyses were significantly small (2.5° (SD 1.4°) and 0.1° (SD 0.9°) in the RA and RI, respectively) relative to those of the 2D measurements. Intra- and interobserver differences were similarly small from the clinical perspective. Conclusion We have developed a computational analysis of acetabular component orientation using an image-matching technique with small measurement errors compared to visual evaluations regardless of the pelvic tilt or rotation.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2020;9(7):360-367.

Abstract
Background Risedronate increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces fracture risk, but treatment response may depend on the baseline state of bone turnover. Data regarding the selection of therapeutic drugs or the prediction of therapeutic effects with baseline levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs) as a reference are insufficient. We hypothesized that when the baseline levels of BTMs are higher, baseline BMD might be lower, changes in BMD at 12 months after risedronate treatment might be higher, and the reduction of fracture incidence might be greater. This study aimed to analyze the data of a phase III clinical trial of risedronate from Japan to investigate the relationships between baseline BTM levels and (1) baseline BMD, (2) changes in BMD at 12 months after the start of treatment, and (3) the incidence of new vertebral fractures. Methods This post-hoc analysis included 788 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis whose baseline BTM levels as well as baseline and endpoint BMDs were measured. Relationships between baseline BTM levels and BMD at baseline and 12 months after risedronate treatment and new vertebral fractures were examined. One-way analysis of variance, two-tailed Student's t-test, and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze the data. Results Baseline BMD showed a significant upward trend when baseline BTM levels were lower in the analysis by tertiles. New vertebral fractures tended to occur in patients with prevalent vertebral fractures, but the relationship between new fractures and BTM levels was not statistically significant. Regardless of BTM types, BMD percentage increments (%) and increments (g/cm2) with the 12-month treatment were high when pretreatment BTM levels were high (P < 0.0001), and a >5.0% increase in BMD was observed even if baseline BTM levels were within the normal range. A new vertebral fracture occurred in only six patients (0.77%), and there was not enough statistical power to clarify the relationship between baseline BTM levels and fracture risk reduction. Conclusions When pretreatment BTM levels increased, baseline BMD tended to be lower and the increase in BMD with 12-month risedronate treatment was higher. However, BMD could still be increased even if the baseline BTM levels are within the normal range. Combined with available evidence, baseline BTMs may not have an important role in deciding the optimal therapy. To elucidate the relationship between baseline BTM levels and long-term fracture risk, it will be necessary to conduct more large-scale studies with a longer follow-up period in severe osteoporotic patients with a high fracture risk. Mini abstract We evaluated the significance of baseline bone turnover markers in the response to risedronate treatment. The increase in the bone mineral density (BMD) with the 12-month treatment may be higher when the state of bone turnover at baseline is higher, and BMD could still be increased even if the baseline bone turnover is within the normal range. Baseline bone turnover markers in response to risedronate treatment are unknown. Higher BMD may be achieved when the state of bone turnover at baseline is higher. Further increase in BMD is possible even if the baseline bone turnover is normal.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
NR/Na+-montmorillonite (NR/Na+-MMT) nanocomposites were prepared through mixing in the latex stage. NR/Na+-MMT nanocomposites with various amounts of Na+-MMT were fabricated using three types of NR latexes: fresh NR (FNR), high ammonia NR, and deproteinized NR latex. The Na+-MMT and NR latexes were characterized by particle size distribution and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. The nanocomposite materials were then analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and contact angle measurements. The mechanical properties of the resulting products were measured by tensile testing machine. The composite prepared from FNR gave the best tensile strength at 3 phr MMT loading. The outstanding properties are proposed to be due to the contribution of the water-soluble compounds present in FNR that possess similar hydrophilicity to Na+-MMT.

Abstract
Background Both intra-articular and extra-articular knee alignment pathologies can affect clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy. The purpose of this study was to investigate post-operative knee coronal alignment parameters that affect long-term patient-reported outcomes after closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CW-HTO). Methods This study included 105 osteoarthritic knees that underwent CW-HTO. Long-term patient-reported outcomes were defined by the 2011 Knee Society Score (KSS) and were collected at an average follow-up of 10.2 years. Post-operative knee coronal alignment parameters, consisting of the femoral tibial angle (FTA), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), tibial plateau inclination (TPI), and joint line convergence angle (JLCA), were measured using standing radiographs of the knee at an average follow-up of 11.0 months. The correlations between these parameters and KSS were then assessed by Spearman's correlation analysis. Comparisons of groups classified by MPTA and TPI cutoff values were performed by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results Post-operative JLCA showed a significant negative correlation with two KSS sub-scores: satisfaction (R = -0.2232, P = 0.022) and total function (R = -0.2059, P = 0.035). There was no significant difference in any KSS sub-score between the "low" groups (MPTA and TPI less than 95 and 5°, respectively) and the "high" groups (MPTA and TPI greater than 98 and 7°, respectively). Conclusions Among knee coronal alignment parameters, a large post-operative residual JLCA, which is an intra-articular varus deformity, was independently associated with worsened long-term clinical outcomes after CW-HTO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An intramedullary (IM) rod is used to resect the distal femur vertically to the femoral mechanical axis in the coronal plane in many cases of total knee arthroplasties (TKA). The valgus angle between the mechanical axis and the anatomical axis of the distal femur is estimated preoperatively. It is known the deviation of the IM rod in the femoral canal could influence the femoral component alignment. However, there is no published data regarding how many degrees of deviation to make with the IM rod. The purpose of this study is to measure each deviation of the IM rod using three-dimensional (3D) computer simulations. METHODS Preoperative CT scans on 30 knees undergoing TKA were studied. The line connecting central points at 10 and 20 cm proximal from the intercondylar notch was defined as the anatomical axis and the point at which the anatomical axis intersects the surface of the distal femur was considered as the entry point of the IM rod. The medio-lateral (ML) and antero-posterior (AP) deviations between the anatomical axis and the IM rod were measured. RESULTS The ML and AP deviations were 0.8 and 1.1° on average. The IM rod was deviated medio-laterally more than 1.0° in three knees (10%). CONCLUSION Surgeons should note the ML difference of the resection thickness of the distal femur for coronal alignment. If the ML difference varies greatly from the preoperative planning, they need to adjust at most 1.0° of valgus angle to achieve the appropriate coronal alignment. Level of evidence III, Therapeutic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anteroposterior (AP) portions of the distal femur are generally resected externally rotated relative to the posterior condylar line (PCL) in non-navigated/measured-resection total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Some femoral sizing devices allow rotational adjustment before sizing (rotation-modified sizing devices), while others do not (rotation-unmodified sizing devices). When rotation-unmodified sizing devices are used, the stylus attached to the sizing device identifies the proximal/anterior flange cut assuming the femoral component is aligned parallel to the PCL. However, if the AP cutting device is externally rotated then unexpected notching of the anterior cortex can occur. METHODS We simulated TKA surgery in 100 Japanese varus osteoarthritic knees using three-dimensional planning software. The femoral component was aligned parallel to the PCL and the AP component position was determined so proximal anterior flange was just touching the anterior cortex. Next, the femoral component was externally rotated parallel to the surgical epicondylar axis (SEA). If the proximal anterior flange penetrated femoral bone, the length and thickness of anterior notching were measured. RESULTS The proximal anterior flange rested on the anterior cortex or penetrated the femoral bone in all knees. There was a strong positive correlation between PCA and length of anterior notching. Anterior notching more than 10mm length or one-millimeter thickness occurred in most cases (82.4% and 70.6%, respectively) where the posterior condylar angle (PCA) was more than four degrees. CONCLUSIONS Anterior femoral notching is influenced by the design of the femoral sizing guide and subsequent rotation of cutting blocks, especially in knees with a large PCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor femoral implant fit to resected bone surfaces recently has been the motivation for several new total knee arthroplasty implant designs. Implant overhang risks adverse soft-tissue interaction while uncovered cut bone surfaces (underhang) risks increased postoperative bleeding or development of heterotopic bone. METHODS Femoral implant fit was studied systematically, and without the influence of surgical variation, by virtually implanting standard and narrow width femoral components (Bi-Surface 5) using preoperative computed tomography data for 150 varus osteoarthritic knees in Japanese patients. Overhang and underhang rates and bone widths were determined by gender. RESULTS Narrow femoral components helped avoid or minimize overhang in most female and some male knees. Although anterior width in the narrow components closely matched female bone width, the femoral component was necessarily displaced laterally to avoid overhang in the anteromedial portion. Consequently, there was significant medial underhang in the distal and posterior zones. CONCLUSIONS Ideally, the anterior femoral flange should be shifted 2 to 2.5mm laterally relative to the distal and posterior aspects to provide optimal femoral bone coverage in this prosthesis. The current study also confirmed that this modification can be generalized to the other two currently available "narrow type" prostheses. This geometric modification might allow surgeons to select a femoral component with slightly wider mediolateral dimensions in the distal and posterior aspects to minimize underhang, while eliminating anterior overhang.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to elucidate how the rotational malalignment of prosthesis after total knee arthroplasty affects the rotational kinematics in a weight-bearing condition. METHODS In this study of 18 knees replaced with the posterior stabilizing fixed-bearing system, which has a relatively low-restricting design, rotational angles between the femoral and tibial components and between the femur and tibia during stair climbing were evaluated in vivo in three dimensions using radiologically based image-matching techniques. Rotational alignments of the components were assessed by postoperative CT. The correlations between the rotational alignments and the rotational angles during stair climbing were evaluated. RESULTS Rotational alignment of the tibial component significantly correlated with rotational angles between the components as well as between bones during stair climbing. Rotational malalignment of the tibial component toward internal rotation caused a rotational mismatch of the tibial component toward internal rotation relative to the femoral component in 0° extension and caused a rotational mismatch of the tibia (bone) toward external rotation relative to the femur (bone). The knee in which the tibial component was placed close to the AP axis of the tibia did not show any rotational mismatch between either components or bones. CONCLUSIONS Rotational alignment of the tibial component affects the kinematic rotation of the replaced knee during a weight-bearing condition even though using a low-restricting designed surface, and the AP axis can be a reliable reference in determining rotational alignment for the tibial component.

Abstract
Background The configuration of the distal surface of the femur would be more important in terms of the patellofemoral (PF) joint contact because the patella generally contacts with the distal surface of the femur in knee flexion. Some total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs configurate medially prominent asymmetric femoral condyles. This difference in the design of distal femoral condyle may affect the PF joint congruity in knee flexion. Furthermore, some surgeons advocate a concept aligning the symmetric components parallel to the native joint inclination, not perpendicular to the mechanical axis. This concept would also make a difference on the PF joint congruity at the distal femur in knee flexion. However, no fundamental study has been reported on the PF congruity at the distal femur to discuss the theoretical priority of these concepts. The current study investigated the angular relationship between the tibial attachment of the patellar tendon and the distal surface of the femur at 90° of flexion in normal knees. Methods The open magnetic resonance images of 45 normal knees at 90° of flexion were used to measure the angles between the tibial attachment of the patellar tendon, the equatorial line of the patella, and the distal surface of femoral condyles. Results The distal surface of femoral condyles was internally rotated relative to the tibial attachment of the patellar tendon and the equatorial line of the patella in all the knees (8.2° ± 3.5° and 5.8° ± 2.5°, respectively), not parallel. Conclusions Distal femoral condyle is internally rotated to the patellar tendon at 90° of flexion in normal knees. When the symmetric femoral component is aligned perpendicular to the femoral mechanical axis, the patellar tendon would be possibly more twisted than the condition in normal knees, and the deviation of the PF contact force on the patellar component might be caused. The configuration and alignment of the distal condyle of the femoral component can affect the PF joint congruity in knee flexion. In this respect, our results provide important information in considering designs and alignment in the distal femur of TKA and the PF joint congruity in knee flexion.

Abstract
This fingertip reconstruction study retrospectively compared sensory recovery and active range of motion outcomes in neurovascular island advancement and reverse digital artery island flaps. Seventeen oblique triangular flaps and 14 reverse digital artery island flaps were performed for nail bed level fingertip amputations (Ishikawa subzone II). There was no significant difference between the two procedures in the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test and range of motion results. For static and moving two-point discrimination tests, however, those with a reverse digital artery island flap required a longer period for sensory recovery compared to those with an oblique triangular advancement flap. This trend equilibrated at 12 months after surgery showing no significant difference in both static and moving two-point discrimination tests between the procedures.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Fresh NR was adopted to prepare rubber with a nanomatrix structure. The nanomatrix structure was formed by graft-copolymerization of styrene onto deproteinized fresh NR (fresh DPNR) in the latex stage using tert-butyl hydroperoxide/tetraethylenepentamine as an initiator. Graft-copolymer consisting of fresh DPNR and polystyrene (fresh DPNR-graft-PS) was characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Under a suitable condition of the graft-copolymerization, conversion and grafting efficiency of styrene was 98 and 80 mol%, respectively. Morphology of fresh DPNR-graft-PS was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The rubber particles of about 1 μm in diameter were found to be dispersed in polystyrene matrix of 10–30 nm in thickness. Tensile properties of fresh DPNR were dramatically improved by forming the nanomatrix structure, compared with DPNR.
