Abstract
Aims It is important to analyze objectively the hammering sound in cup press-fit technique in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in order to better understand the change of the sound during impaction. We hypothesized that a specific characteristic would present in a hammering sound with successful fixation. We designed the study to quantitatively investigate the acoustic characteristics during cementless cup impaction in THA. Methods In 52 THAs performed between November 2018 and April 2022, the acoustic parameters of the hammering sound of 224 impacts of successful press-fit fixation, and 55 impacts of unsuccessful press-fit fixation, were analyzed. The successful fixation was defined if the following two criteria were met: 1) intraoperatively, the stability of the cup was retained after manual application of the torque test; and 2) at one month postoperatively, the cup showed no translation on radiograph. Each hammering sound was converted to sound pressures in 24 frequency bands by fast Fourier transform analysis. Basic patient characteristics were assessed as potential contributors to the hammering sound. Results The median sound pressure (SP) of successful fixation at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz was higher than that of unsuccessful fixation (0.0694 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.04721 to 0.09576) vs 0.05425 (IQR 0.03047 to 0.06803), p < 0.001). The median SP of successful fixation at 3.5 to 4.0 kHz and 4.0 to 4.5 kHz was lower than that of unsuccessful fixation (0.0812 (IQR 0.05631 to 0.01161) vs 0.1233 (IQR 0.0730 to 0.1449), p < 0.001; and 0.0891 (IQR 0.0526 to 0.0891) vs 0.0885 (IQR 0.0716 to 0.1048); p < 0.001, respectively). There was a statistically significant positive relationship between body weight and SP at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz (p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses indicated that the SP at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz and 3.5 to 4.0 kHz was independently associated with the successful fixation. Conclusion The frequency bands of 0.5 to 1.0 and 3.5 to 4.0 kHz were the key to distinguish the sound characteristics between successful and unsuccessful press-fit cup fixation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature comparing humeral implants in reverse shoulder arthroplasty is sparse. With minimal supporting literature, there has been a trend away from standard-length cemented humeral implants to press-fit stems and, recently, to shorter-stem implants. It is known that early implant migration, within the first 2 years postoperatively, is predictive of later implant loosening and possible revision surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and implant migration between cemented standard-length humeral stems and press-fit short stems using model-based radiostereometric analysis. METHODS After a power analysis, 41 shoulders were prospectively randomized to receive either a cemented standard-length or press-fit short humeral stem for primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty between July 2017 and June 2019. Following surgery, participants were imaged with stereo radiographs acquired at 6 weeks (baseline), 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Migration of the humeral stem at each time point was compared with baseline, with differences in migration between cohorts assessed using a mixed-effects model with the Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. Patient-reported outcome measures (Subjective Shoulder Value; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder score; Simple Shoulder Test score; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score; and Constant score) were also compared. RESULTS At 6 months (P = .025), 1 year (P = .004), and 2 years (P = .001) postoperatively, press-fit short stems migrated significantly more than cemented stems along the superior-inferior translation axis; in addition, they showed greater total translation at 2 years (P = .003). Mean total translation (± standard deviation) at 2 years was 0.4 ± 0.2 mm and 1.0 ± 1.1 mm for the cemented and press-fit cohorts, respectively. Mean migration between the 1- and 2-year time points was minimal for both stem fixation groups along all axes (<0.1 mm and 0.6°). There was no difference in active range of motion, pain, or validated outcome measures between the cohorts at 2 years (P ≥ .170). CONCLUSION This randomized clinical trial shows that press-fit short humeral stems subside substantially more than standard-length cemented stems but ultimately achieve stability from 1 year through 2 years. Conversely, no significant differences were observed in clinical outcomes between cohorts.

Abstract
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is associated with increased frictional moments compared to standard heads owing to their large diameter. High frictional moments may harbor the risk of the implant loosening if the frictional moments exceed the fixation stability of the hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Therefore, the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the fixation stability of ceramic hip resurfacing implants through a turn-off test. The test specimens, made of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics with an inner titanium-coated surface and square base bodies for better application to the test setup, were pushed on artificial bone materials until a predefined seating depth was achieved. Thereafter, the specimens were turned off from the artificial bone material by using a lever-arm and the turn-off moments were calculated. The density of the artificial bone material utilized (15 and 25 pcf), the press-fit (0.4 and 0.8 mm) and the size of the test specimens varied. The push-on forces ranged from 0.6 ± 0.1 kN to 5.6 ± 0.5 kN depending on the press-fit and artificial bone material. The turn-off moments relied on the respective press-fit, artificial bone material and size of the specimen. They belonged between the range of 8.5 ± 0.4 Nm and 105.4 ± 0.2 Nm. Most of the previously described frictional moments are lower compared to the turn-off moments determined in this study. However, in the worst-case scenario, the turn-off moments of the hip resurfacing implants may be reduced, especially when the adjacent bone stock has a low mineral density.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in the tibial plateau of the operated and contralateral leg measured using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) before and 3, 6, and 12 months after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The ACL was reconstructed with a hamstring tendon autograft using press-fit fixation. pQCT measurements of the proximal tibia were obtained in 61 patients after ACL reconstruction, and total, cortical, and trabecular vBMD were calculated. vBMD in the operated leg decreased from baseline to 3 months (-12% [total], -11% [cortical], and -12.6% [trabecular]; p<0.001) and remained below baseline for 12 months after surgery (6 months: -9.5%, -9.4%, and -9.6%, p<0.001; 12 months: -8%, -5%, and -11%, p<0.001). vBMD in the contralateral leg was slightly reduced only 6 months after surgery. Including age and sex as covariates into the analysis did not affect the results. ACL reconstruction contributed to loss in bone mineral density within the first year after surgery. The role of factors such as time of weight-bearing, joint mechanics, post-traumatic inflammatory reactions, or genetic predisposition in modulating the development of posttraumatic knee osteoarthritis after ACL injury should be further elucidated.
