Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of preoperative osteopenia/osteoporosis on periprosthetic bone loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the efficiency of zoledronate (ZOL) treatment in periprosthetic bone preservation.
Methods: This multicenter, prospective cohort study was conducted in four centers between April 2015 and October 2017. Patients were assigned to Normal BMD, Osteopenia, and Osteoporosis+ZOL groups. Patients with osteopenia received daily oral calcium (600 mg/d) and vitamin D (0.5 μg/d), while patients in the Osteoporosis+ZOL group received additional ZOL annually (5 mg/year). Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) in seven Gruen zones, radiographic parameters, Harris hip score, EuroQol 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D) score, and BMD in hip and spine were measured within 7 days, 3 months, 12 months postoperation and annually thereafter.
Results: A total of 266 patients were enrolled, while 81 patients that completed the first year follow-up were involved in the statistical analysis. The mean follow-up time was 1.3 years. There were significant decreases of mean BMD in total Gruen zones (-4.55%, P < 0.05) and Gruen zone 1 (-10.22%, P < 0.01) in patients with osteopenia during the first postoperative year. Patients in the Osteoporosis+ZOL group experienced a marked increase in BMD in Gruen zone 1 (+16%) at the first postoperative year, which had a significant difference when compared with the Normal BMD group (P < 0.05) and the Osteopenia Group (P < 0.001). Low preoperative BMD in hip and spine was predictive of bone loss in Gruen zone 1 at 12 months after THA in patients with normal BMD (R = 0.40, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients with osteopenia are prone to higher bone loss in the proximal femur after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). ZOL, not solely calcium and vitamin D, could prevent the accelerated periprosthetic bone loss after THA in patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Combining Plate and Ilizarov Fixation for Tibial Fracture in a 95-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Periprosthetic tibial fractures following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are increasingly encountered in very elderly patients, where multiple comorbidities and osteoporosis compromise early mobilization and elevate the risk of complications. Maintaining pre-injury activities of daily living (ADL) while ensuring safe surgical management is challenging. We present a case of a 95-year-old woman with a periprosthetic tibial shaft fracture managed with open reduction, additional plate fixation, and Ilizarov external fixation, enabling immediate postoperative weight-bearing.

Background: Approximately 1-2% of patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty encounter a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Currently, the treatment involves revision surgeries and long-term antibiotic therapy. However, too low antibiotic concentrations can lead to treatment failure, whereas excessively high concentrations can lead to adverse events.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine diagnostic thresholds for synovial fluid leucocyte count and polymorphonuclear (PMN) percentage to identify the diagnosis periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKAs).
Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study included 239 patients who underwent revision of an UKA for either septic or aseptic indications at five university-affiliated medical centres. Among these, 30 patients (13%) underwent revision for PJI and 209 (87%) for noninfectious causes.

Insufficiency periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty are uncommon, typically nontraumatic events; however, clinical outcome data on their surgical management remain limited. We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients (18 women, 3 men; mean age = 76 years) who sustained femoral or tibial insufficiency periprosthetic fractures between November 2016 and January 2022 and underwent revision total knee arthroplasty with stemmed components augmented by bulk femoral-head allografts and autologous bone graft. Five patients with preoperative valgus alignment presented medial condylar fractures, whereas sixteen patients with varus deformity exhibited ten lateral and 6 medial condylar fractures.
