Anatomic shoulder replacement for primary osteoarthritis in patients over 80 years: outcome is as good as in younger patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) gives good outcome in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis, but it is not known whether this also applies to patients over 80 years old.

Patients and methods

We retrospectively assessed outcome in patients over the age of 80 after anatomic TSA, performed for primary osteoarthritis with a preoperative intact rotator cuff (group O, n = 32). We compared it with outcome in a group of patients under the age of 70 (group Y, n = 32). Subjective outcome, Constant score, and radiological findings were analyzed.

Results

At a mean follow-up time of 7 years, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. In group O, 24 patients were very satisfied and in group Y, 23 patients were very satisfied; the subjective shoulder value was 81% in both groups. Mean Constant score was 65 in group O and 67 in group Y. Moderate or severe radiological upper migration of the humeral head was detected in 1 patient in group O and in 3 patients in group Y. One patient in group Y was revised for glenoid loosening.

Interpretation

Good to excellent results can be expected after anatomic TSA in patients over the age of 80. Our findings suggest that they have similar results to those in patients around 70 years of age.

Project description:BackgroundMost of the current stemless implants are using a central neck fixation design. Easytech Stemless replacements (FX Solutions®, Viriat, France) were developed promoting the idea of peripheral fixation of the stemless implant. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical and radiological results of this stemless TSA implanted for osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsA retrospective study of patients who received TSA with the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System (FX Solutions®, Viriat, France) for OA was completed at five clinical sites. Preoperative and minimum 2 year follow-up Constant Scores and X-rays were evaluated. Two independent orthopedic surgeons analyzed X-rays to assess anatomy reconstruction and component migration. Revisions and serious adverse effects were reviewed.Results129 patients were analyzed with an average follow-up of 37.47 months (24-54). Seven patients had a revision surgery and one of these resulted in the removal of the Anchor Base. The postoperative Constant Scores showed significant improvement with a mean raw Constant Score of 73.78 (38.0-100.0, mean increase 40.96, P < .0001) and mean adjusted Constant Score of 99.14 (42.20-133.30, mean increase 55.68, P < .0001). Radiographic review demonstrated that no modification of the center of rotation (COR) at minimum 24 months was greater than 3 mm and in comparison to preoperative radiographs, restoration of COR was lateralized in 25% of the cases, medialized in 61.5% and 13.5% had no change in COR. The mean value of the cervico-diaphyseal angle was 130.2° (114; 149) at 3 weeks and 129.9° (113.5; 144.0) at 2 years, demonstrating no significant difference (P = .16). 36 patients (35%) had calcar remodeling. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression found no significant factor, which was associated with the variation of the cervico-diaphyseal angle over time, center of rotation, calcar remodeling, or final Constant Score. The Walch B2 and C glenoid subset of patients (n = 13) had overall survival rate of 90.9% [95% CI 75.4-100.0] vs. 98.0% [95% CI 95.3-100.0] in other glenoid types (P < .01). Walch B2/C patients were 4.44 [95% CI 1.13, 17.6] times more likely to have a Constant Score <85 (P = .03).ConclusionsThe peripheral fixation of the Easytech® Anatomical Shoulder System for OA provides excellent clinical results and imaging stability at minimum two year follow-up. Elderly age, gender and BMI do not affect the stability.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been suggested that total knee replacement is being performed in people with less-severe osteoarthritis. We aimed to determine whether there were differences in the presurgery profile, symptoms and disability of 2 cohorts who underwent total knee replacement over a 10-year period.MethodsPatients aged 18-85 years undergoing primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis at 1 of 4 sites in Toronto and Strathroy, Ontario, were recruited in a cohort study during 2006-2008 (cohort 1) and 2012-2015 (cohort 2). Patients undergoing unicompartmental or revision arthroplasty were excluded. Demographic and health (body mass index [BMI], comorbidity) variables and osteoarthritis severity, as assessed with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the disability component of the Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI-D), were collected before surgery. We calculated proportions, means and standard deviations with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for all data. We constructed density plots by tertile score for the WOMAC pain and physical function subscales and the LLFDI-D limitation scale.ResultsThere were 494 patients in cohort 1 and 251 patients in cohort 2. There were no differences in age, sex, education, living status, BMI, comorbidity, pain severity or disability between the cohorts based on overlapping 95% CIs and the density plots. More patients in cohort 1 than in cohort 2 were single (176 [35.6%], 95% CI 32.5%-41.1% v. 63 [25.1%], 95% CI 20.3%-31.0%). Patients in cohort 2 reported less limitation in higher-demand activities than did those in cohort 1 (mean score on LLFDI-D 62.3 [95% CI 60.7-63.9] v. 59.2 [95% CI 58.2-60.2]).InterpretationThe patient profile and reported osteoarthritis severity were similar in 2 cohorts that had total knee replacement over a 10-year period. This suggests that increasing total knee replacement volumes over this period likely were not driven by these factors.
