Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate whether fellowship training had an effect on the practice pattern and complication rates among Part II examinees of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) for rotator cuff repair (RCR) from 2007-2017. Methods: The ABOS database was queried for arthroscopic (Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] code 29827) and open/mini-open (CPT codes: 23410, 23412) RCR performed from 2007-2017. Excluded were procedures that did not included CPT codes 29827, 23410, 23412. A comparison between arthroscopic and open/mini-open use as well as self-reported complications were assessed based on recorded fellowship training. Results: A total of 31,907 RCR were reported over the past 10 years (2007-2017). The percentage of RCR procedures performed using arthroscopic technique vs open/mini-open varied among surgeons who completed one fellowship: Sports Medicine (92.5 % arthroscopy; 7.5 % mini/open), Shoulder & Elbow (91.3 % arthroscopy; 8.7% mini/open), and Hand & Upper Extremity (69.6 % arthroscopy; 30.4 % open). Total complication rates varied among surgeons who completed one fellowship: Sports Medicine (11.5 %), Shoulder & Elbow (13.5 %), and Hand & Upper Extremity (13.4 %). Surgeons completing one fellowship in either Sports Medicine, Shoulder & Elbow, Hand & Upper Extremity all reported significantly lower complication rates using arthroscopic over mini/open technique (P < .001). Conclusions: Among ABOS Part II examinees completing a Sports Medicine, Shoulder and Elbow or Hand and Upper Extremity fellowship, Sports Medicine trained surgeons had significantly greater rates of performing arthroscopic over open RCR and significantly lower self-reported intraoperative complication rates. Clinical Relevance: Understanding the effects of fellowship training may guide mentors and future trainees.

Abstract

The prediction of a difficult cholecystectomy has traditionally been based on certain pre-operative clinical and imaging factors. Most of the previous literature reported small patient cohorts and have not used an objective measure of operative difficulty. The aim of this study was to develop a pre-operative score to predict difficult cholecystectomy, as defined by a validated intra-operative difficulty grading scale. Two cohorts from prospectively maintained databases of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analysed: the CholeS Study (8755 patients) and a single surgeon series (4089 patients). Factors potentially predictive of difficulty were correlated to the Nassar intra-operative difficulty scale. A multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was then used to identify factors that were independently associated with difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy, defined as operative difficulty grades 3 to 5. The resulting model was then converted to a risk score, and validated on both internal and external datasets. Increasing age and ASA classification, male gender, diagnosis of CBD stone or cholecystitis, thick-walled gallbladders, CBD dilation, use of pre-operative ERCP and non-elective operations were found to be significant independent predictors of difficult cases. A risk score based on these factors returned an area under the ROC curve of 0.789 (95% CI 0.773–0.806, p

Abstract

To ascertain trends and reported complication rates of arthroscopic and open or mini-open rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) reported by American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part II examinees between 2007-2017.The ABOS database was queried for both arthroscopic RCR (International Classification of Diseases code 29827) and open or mini-open RCR (International Classification of Diseases codes 23410 and 23412) performed by Part II examinees from 2007-2017. A comparison between overall procedure rates, as well as reported complications (anesthetic, medical, surgical, reoperations, and readmissions) associated with the respective repair technique, was performed.From 2007-2017, a total of 31,907 RCRs were reported by Part II examinees. Of those, 85.2% (n = 27,189) were arthroscopic whereas 14.8% (n = 4,718) were open or mini-open. The rate of arthroscopic RCR increased from 73% (n = 2,138) in 2007 to 90% (n = 2,031) in 2017, whereas the rate of open or mini-open RCR decreased from 27% (n = 771) to 10% (n = 234) during the same period. Rates of reported annual complications were significantly lower for arthroscopic RCR (7.4%-16.2%) than for open or mini-open RCR (12.9%-30.3%) for each of the past 6 years (2012-2017) (P.001). Arthroscopic RCR had an overall lower cumulative occurrence of complications than open or mini-open RCR over the past decade (2007-2017) (P.001). The relative risk of complications for arthroscopic RCR compared with open RCR was 0.71 (95% confidence interval, 0.66-0.77).ABOS Part II examinees reported an increased practice of arthroscopic RCR in comparison with open or mini-open RCR over the past 10 years. Reported annual complication rates have been significantly lower for arthroscopic RCR over the past 6 years, with an overall lower cumulative rate from 2007-2017.Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract

Background Early clinical results of a new total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant design show promise for improved outcomes and patellofemoral function scores. However, reports of early tibial component-cement interface debonding requiring revision have been published. This study investigated the biomechanical properties of three different tibial baseplates to understand potential causes of failure. Methods PFC Sigma (control), Attune (1st generation) and Attune S+ (2nd generation) tibial baseplates were implanted into 4th generation sawbone tibia models using a standardized technique. Three of each baseplate were cemented with and without additional bovine bone marrow fat. All models were tested to failure with measured axial distraction force. Implant type, presence or absence of bovine marrow and load to failure were all recorded and compared. Two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc pairwise comparisons were used to determine statistical significance, which was set to P Results The 2nd generation tibial baseplates required significantly more force to failure. The presence of bovine marrow significantly reduced the pullout force of the implant designs overall. No significant difference was detected between the 1st generation and control baseplates. Failure mode for each model was also noted to be different irrespective of the presence or absence of bone marrow fat. Conclusion The 2nd generation baseplates required significantly more force to failure compared with older designs. The presence of bone marrow during cementation of a tibial base plate significantly decreased axial pullout strength of a tibial baseplate in this laboratory model. All 1st generation baseplates exhibited debonding at the cement-implant interface.

Abstract

A reliable system for grading operative difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy would standardise description of findings and reporting of outcomes. The aim of this study was to validate a difficulty grading system (Nassar scale), testing its applicability and consistency in two large prospective datasets.Patient and disease-related variables and 30-day outcomes were identified in two prospective cholecystectomy databases: the multi-centre prospective cohort of 8820 patients from the recent CholeS Study and the single-surgeon series containing 4089 patients. Operative data and patient outcomes were correlated with Nassar operative difficultly scale, using Kendall's tau for dichotomous variables, or Jonckheere-Terpstra tests for continuous variables. A ROC curve analysis was performed, to quantify the predictive accuracy of the scale for each outcome, with continuous outcomes dichotomised, prior to analysis.A higher operative difficulty grade was consistently associated with worse outcomes for the patients in both the reference and CholeS cohorts. The median length of stay increased from 0 to 4 days, and the 30-day complication rate from 7.6 to 24.4% as the difficulty grade increased from 1 to 4/5 (both p 0.001). In the CholeS cohort, a higher difficulty grade was found to be most strongly associated with conversion to open and 30-day mortality (AUROC = 0.903, 0.822, respectively). On multivariable analysis, the Nassar operative difficultly scale was found to be a significant independent predictor of operative duration, conversion to open surgery, 30-day complications and 30-day reintervention (all p 0.001).We have shown that an operative difficulty scale can standardise the description of operative findings by multiple grades of surgeons to facilitate audit, training assessment and research. It provides a tool for reporting operative findings, disease severity and technical difficulty and can be utilised in future research to reliably compare outcomes according to case mix and intra-operative difficulty.

Abstract

Background The ability to accurately predict operative duration has the potential to optimise theatre efficiency and utilisation, thus reducing costs and increasing staff and patient satisfaction. With laparoscopic cholecystectomy being one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide, a tool to predict operative duration could be extremely beneficial to healthcare organisations. Methods Data collected from the CholeS study on patients undergoing cholecystectomy in UK and Irish hospitals between 04/2014 and 05/2014 were used to study operative duration. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was produced in order to identify significant independent predictors of long (> 90 min) operations. The resulting model was converted to a risk score, which was subsequently validated on second cohort of patients using ROC curves. Results After exclusions, data were available for 7227 patients in the derivation (CholeS) cohort. The median operative duration was 60 min (interquartile range 45–85), with 17.7% of operations lasting longer than 90 min. Ten factors were found to be significant independent predictors of operative durations > 90 min, including ASA, age, previous surgical admissions, BMI, gallbladder wall thickness and CBD diameter. A risk score was then produced from these factors, and applied to a cohort of 2405 patients from a tertiary centre for external validation. This returned an area under the ROC curve of 0.708 (SE = 0.013, p 90 min increasing more than eightfold from 5.1 to 41.8% in the extremes of the score. Conclusion The scoring tool produced in this study was found to be significantly predictive of long operative durations on validation in an external cohort. As such, the tool may have the potential to enable organisations to better organise theatre lists and deliver greater efficiencies in care.

Abstract

Introduction: A periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a potentially devastating complication following an arthroplasty procedure. There are many organisms that commonly cause this complication; in this case report, we will discuss a PJI caused by an unusual bacteria found in the mouths of domestic pets. Objective: To present a case report of a patient with a periprosthetic hip infection from Capnocytophaga canimorsus and review the literature. Methods: We present a case of C canimorsus PJI in an immunocompetent woman who had undergone a total hip arthroplasty. The patient was doing well postoperatively for many years until she was bitten on the foot by a domestic canine. Patient diagnosed using Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, then treated with explant of the hip prosthesis, irrigation and debridement, placement of an antibiotic cement spacer, and a 6-week course of intravenous antibiotics. Results: Unfortunately, while awaiting replant, this patient had a massive myocardial infarction and died. Discussion: Current literature suggests treating canine bites with amoxicillinas well as a discussion with patients pre-/postoperatively from a lower extremity arthroplasty specialist. Conclusion: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a rare cause of infection, even more unusual in an immunocompetent patient. This study highlights the importance of considering C canimorsus as a cause of PJI, regardless of the immunologic status of the patient.

Abstract

Background The aim was to describe the management of benign gallbladder disease and identify characteristics associated with all-cause 30-day readmissions and complications in a prospective population-based cohort. Methods Data were collected on consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy in acute UK and Irish hospitals between 1 March and 1 May 2014. Potential explanatory variables influencing all-cause 30-day readmissions and complications were analysed by means of multilevel, multivariable logistic regression modelling using a two-level hierarchical structure with patients (level 1) nested within hospitals (level 2). Results Data were collected on 8909 patients undergoing cholecystectomy from 167 hospitals. Some 1451 cholecystectomies (16·3 per cent) were performed as an emergency, 4165 (46·8 per cent) as elective operations, and 3293 patients (37·0 per cent) had had at least one previous emergency admission, but had surgery on a delayed basis. The readmission and complication rates at 30 days were 7·1 per cent (633 of 8909) and 10·8 per cent (962 of 8909) respectively. Both readmissions and complications were independently associated with increasing ASA fitness grade, duration of surgery, and increasing numbers of emergency admissions with gallbladder disease before cholecystectomy. No identifiable hospital characteristics were linked to readmissions and complications. Conclusion Readmissions and complications following cholecystectomy are common and associated with patient and disease characteristics.

Abstract

Background The aims of this prospective population-based cohort study were to identify the patient and hospital characteristics associated with emergency cholecystectomy, and the influences of these in determining variations between hospitals. Methods Data were collected for consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy in acute UK and Irish hospitals between 1 March and 1 May 2014. Potential explanatory variables influencing the performance of emergency cholecystectomy were analysed by means of multilevel, multivariable logistic regression modelling using a two-level hierarchical structure with patients (level 1) nested within hospitals (level 2). Results Data were collected on 4744 cholecystectomies from 165 hospitals. Increasing age, lower ASA fitness grade, biliary colic, the need for further imaging (magnetic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), endoscopic interventions (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) and admission to a non-biliary centre significantly reduced the likelihood of an emergency cholecystectomy being performed. The multilevel model was used to calculate the probability of receiving an emergency cholecystectomy for a woman aged 40 years or over with an ASA grade of I or II and a BMI of at least 25·0 kg/m2, who presented with acute cholecystitis with an ultrasound scan showing a thick-walled gallbladder and a normal common bile duct. The mean predicted probability of receiving an emergency cholecystectomy was 0·52 (95 per cent c.i. 0·45 to 0·57). The predicted probabilities ranged from 0·02 to 0·95 across the 165 hospitals, demonstrating significant variation between hospitals. Conclusion Patients with similar characteristics presenting to different hospitals with acute gallbladder pathology do not receive comparable care.
