Introduction:The objective of this study was to determine the survivorship of anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA) over a medium-term follow-up in a large population-based sample and to identify potential risk factors for revision surgery. Methods: The State Inpatient Database from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project was used to identify patients who underwent aTSA or rTSA from 2011 through 2015 using ICD9 codes. We modeled the primary outcome of time to revision or arthroplasty using the Cox proportional hazards model. The predictors of revision surgery in the model include aTSA versus rTSA, indication for surgery, age, sex, race, urban versus rural residence, hospital length of stay zip code-based income quartile classification, and Elixhauser comorbidity readmission score. Results: Among 43,990 patients in this study, 1,141 (4.0%) underwent revision or implant removal over the 4-year study period. The median age was 71 years, and 57% of patients were female. Indications for the index surgery included primary osteoarthritis (75.2%), cuff tear (8.5%), acute fracture (7.0%), malunion/nonunion (1.4%), and other (7.8%). Among these indications for surgery, the risk of revision or removal was greatest in patients who underwent the primary procedure for malunion/ nonunion (hazard ratio [HR] 2.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.69 to 3.39) compared with the reference of primary osteoarthritis. Male patients who underwent aTSA were less likely to need revision surgery than male patients who underwent rTSA (HR: 0.59, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.71), and the opposite relationship was observed in female patients (HR: 1.41, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.69). Age, length of stay, and Elixhauser comorbidity score were predictive of revision surgery (P , 0.0001, P = 0.0005, P , 0.0001, respectively), whereas race, urban versus rural, and zip code-based income quartile were not. Discussion: aTSA and rTSA showed excellent 4-year survivorship of 96.0% in a large population-based sample. aTSA and rTSA survivorships were similar at the 4-year follow-up.
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition caused by repetitive abutment of a morphologically abnormal proximal femur and/or acetabulum that may result in chondral and labral pathology. An understanding of radiographic parameters associated with successful primary surgery has not been well established. Purpose: To determine preoperative radiographic parameters that predict reoperation for FAI and correlate radiographic measurements with outcomes in these patients. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A prospectively collected institutional registry of adolescent patients (age, <19 years) who underwent surgery for FAI (arthroscopic/open) was reviewed. Preoperative standing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were analyzed for femoroepiphyseal acetabular roof (FEAR) index, as well as lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) and alpha, Tönnis, and Sharp angles. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) (modified Harris Hip Score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) were analyzed preoperatively and at 1- and 2-year followup. Radiographic indication of risk for reoperation was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Spearman correlation was calculated between radiographic measurements and PROs at 2 years postoperatively. Results: A total of 81 patients (91 hips) underwent primary surgery (57 surgical dislocations vs 34 arthroscopies) for FAI. The mean age at time of primary operation was 16.23 years (range, 10.4-19.6 years) (73.6% female). Eleven hips (12.1%) underwent reoperation at a mean of 20.6 months from primary surgery. The LCEA, FEAR index, Tönnis angle, and Sharp angle before index surgery were significantly different ( P < .05) between patients who underwent reoperation and those who did not. ROC analysis indicated that LCEA <22°, FEAR index >–8.7°, Tönnis angle >6.0°, and Sharp angle >44° were predictors for increased risk of reoperation. Using the cutoff values from the ROC analysis in this series, 43% of patients with an LCEA ≤22° had a repeat procedure, while only 8% of those with an LCEA >22° had a repeat procedure. Similar trends were seen with the other aforementioned acetabular radiographic measurements (FEAR index, Tönnis angle, Sharp angle). Patients who did not require a reoperation demonstrated significant improvement in all PRO categories from their preoperative to 2-year postoperative visits ( P < .0001). Conclusion: In patients undergoing treatment for FAI, a reoperation was associated with radiographic signs of hip dysplasia, indicating that patients with a shallower acetabulum are at risk for a repeat operation.
