Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular procedures such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary cohort of patients, who underwent PAO in isolation without any intra-articular procedures. From June 2012 to March 2022, 349 rectus-sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 6.2 years (1 to 11)). The mean age was 24 years (14 to 46) and 88.8% were female (n = 310). Patients were evaluated at final follow-up for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Radiographs were reviewed for the following acetabular parameters: lateral centre-edge angle, anterior centre-edge angle, acetabular index, and the alpha-angle (AA). Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze risk factors for HA.Aims

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the preferred treatment for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia in adolescents and young adults. There remains a lack of consensus regarding whether intra-articular work such as labral repair or improvement of femoral offset should be performed at the time of PAO or addressed subsequent to PAO if symptoms warrant. The purpose was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary PAO cohort with no intra-articular work performed at the time of PAO. From June 2012 to March 2022, 368 rectus sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 5.9 years). The average age was 24 (range 14–46) and 89% were female. Patients were evaluated at last follow-up for patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Radiographs were reviewed for the following acetabular parameters: LCEA, ACEA, AI, and the alpha-angle (AA). Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze risk factors for HA. 16 hips (15 patients) (4.4%) underwent subsequent HA with labral repair and femoral osteochondroplasty most common. For those with a minimum of two years of follow-up, 5.3% underwent subsequent HA. No hips underwent THA; one revision PAO was performed. 14 hips experienced a complication and 99 underwent hardware removal. All PROMs improved significantly post-operatively. Radiographically 80% of hips were in goal for acetabular correction parameters with no significant differences between those who underwent subsequent HA and those who did not. Rectus sparing PAO is associated with a low rate of subsequent HA for intra-articular pathology at 5-year follow-up. Acetabular correction alone may be sufficient as the primary intervention for the majority of patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia.
Porous metaphyseal cones can be used for fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) and complex TKAs. This metaphyseal fixation has led to some surgeons using shorter cemented stems instead of diaphyseal engaging cementless stems with a potential benefit of ease of obtaining proper alignment without being beholden to the diaphysis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate short term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a series of TKA cases performed using 3D-printed metaphyseal cones. A retrospective review of 86 rTKAs and nine complex primary TKAs, with an average age of 63.2 years (SD 8.2) and BMI of 34.0 kg/m2 (SD 8.7), in which metaphyseal cones were used for both femoral and tibial fixation were compared for their knee alignment based on the type of stem used. Overall, 22 knees had cementless stems on both sides, 52 had cemented stems on both sides, and 15 had mixed stems. Postoperative long-standing radiographs were evaluated for coronal and sagittal plane alignment. Adjusted logistic regression models were run to assess malalignment hip-knee-ankle (HKA) alignment beyond ± 3° and sagittal alignment of the tibial and femoral components ± 3° by stem type.Aims

Porous metaphyseal cones are increasingly used for fixation in revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). Both cemented shorter length stems and longer diaphyseal engaging stems are currently utilized with metaphyseal cones with no clear evidence of superiority. The purpose of this study was to evaluate our experience with 3D printed titanium metaphyseal cones with both short cemented and longer cementless stems from a clinical and radiographic perspective. In total 136 3D printed titanium metaphyseal cones were implanted. The mean patient age was 63 and 48% were female. The mean BMI was 33 and the mean ASA class was 2.5. There were 42 femoral cones in which 28 cemented and 14 cementless stems were utilized. There were 94 tibial cones in which 67 cemented and 27 cementless stems were utilized. The choice for stem fixation was surgeon dependent and in general cones were utilized for AORI type 2 and 3 bone defects on the femur and tibia. The most common fixation scenario was short cemented stems on both the femur and tibia followed by cemented stem fixation on the tibia and cementless fixation on the femur. Clinical data such as revision, complication, and PRO was collected at last follow-up (minimum follow-up 1 year). Radiographic analysis included cone bony ingrowth and coronal and sagittal alignment on long-standing radiographs. Descriptive statistics were used to compare demographics between patients who had malalignment (HKA beyond +/− 3 degrees and flexion/extension beyond +/− 3 degrees). Adjusted logistic regression models were run to assess malalignment risk by stem type.Introduction

The purpose of this review was to determine the rate of subsequent hip arthroscopy (HA) in a contemporary PAO cohort with no intra-articular work performed at the time of PAO. From June 2012 to September 2019, 272 Rectus Sparing PAOs were performed and followed for a minimum of one year (mean 4.6 years). The average age was 24 (range 14–44) and 87% were female. The average BMI was 25 and average length of hospital stay was 2.9 days. Patients were evaluated at last follow-up with PROMIS PF-CAT, pain and mental health scores. Clinical records were reviewed for complications or subsequent surgery. Pre and post-operative radiographs were reviewed for change in the following acetabular parameters: LCEA, ACEA, AI, and the alpha-angle was obtained from preoperative radiographs. Patients were cross-referenced from the two largest hospital systems in our area to determine if subsequent HA was performed. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze risk factors for HA.Introduction
Methods
The aim of this study was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), radiological measurements, and total hip arthroplasty (THA)-free survival in patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for mild, moderate, or severe developmental dysplasia of the hip. We performed a retrospective study involving 336 patients (420 hips) who underwent PAO by a single surgeon at an academic centre. After exclusions, 124 patients (149 hips) were included. The preoperative lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) was used to classify the severity of dysplasia: 18° to 25° was considered mild (n = 20), 10° to 17° moderate (n = 66), and < 10° severe (n = 63). There was no difference in patient characteristics between the groups (all, p > 0.05). Pre- and postoperative radiological measurements were made. The National Institute of Health’s Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) outcome measures (physical function computerized adaptive test (PF CAT), Global Physical and Mental Health Scores) were collected. Failure was defined as conversion to THA or PF CAT scores < 40, and was assessed with Kaplan–Meier analysis. The mean follow-up was five years (2 to 10) ending in either failure or the latest contact with the patient.Aims
Patients and Methods
The aim of this study was to compare patient reported outcomes, radiographic measurements, and survival free from total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients who underwent periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for mild, moderate, or severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). We performed a retrospective cohort study on all patients (n=223, n=274 hips) who underwent a PAO procedure between May 1996 and May 2016, by a single surgeon at one academic center. Cases with a history of retroversion (n=64), Perthes (n=5), and those with <2 years of follow-up (n=63) were excluded. Patients were evaluated based on severity of dysplasia using the preoperative lateral center edge angle (LCEA): 18° – 25° was considered mild dysplasia (n=19), 10° – 17° moderate (n=62), and <10° severe (n=61). There was no difference in patient characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, or ASA score) between then cohorts (all, p>0.05). NIH PROMIS outcome measures included the physical function computerized adaptive test (PF CAT) and the Global 10 health assessment. Generalized estimating equations were used for all comparisons and missing data was imputed using the multivariate imputation by chained equations method. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess survival. Failure was defined as conversion to THA and follow-up was ended at time of failure or at the time of last follow-up. Mean follow-up was five years (1 – 19).Introduction
