Although TKA is generally effective, a significant number of patients experience chronic post-surgical pain. Psychosocial interventions have increasingly become an area of interest in pain management following surgical procedures. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the impact of pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative psychosocial interventions on reducing the likelihood of developing chronic pain after TKA. Methods: We performed a systematic review following the Cochrane guidelines and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. A comprehensive search strategy was employed using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Inclusion criteria were (1) patients undergoing; (2) pain outcome assessed ≥1 month post-operatively; (3) prospective and longitudinal study design (eg, randomized controlled trial, experimental non-randomized trial, cohort, case-control studies with measurement of exposure prior to outcome); (4) English language; and (5) psychosocial intervention (cognitive-behavioral, biopsychosocial, dialectical behavioral, psychoeducation, mindfulness, meditation, psychotherapy, relaxation, mind-body therapies, hypnosis). Exclusion criteria were non-primary literature (eg, review articles), non–peer-reviewed studies, and conference proceedings. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using Cochrane’s tool for Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2), the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS), and the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). Results: Of 4297 studies reviewed with title and abstract, 4160 were excluded. Of the remaining 137 studies that underwent full-text review, 122 were excluded using the same inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 15 studies were included. Our review indicates a variable but positive impact of psychosocial interventions, such as pre-operative education, relaxation techniques, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, on post-TKA pain. Of the 15 included studies, 9 studies found that psychosocial interventions reduced post-TKA pain. Our review also suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy may aid in reducing kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, and knee pain intensity. For the 12 randomized studies, the risk of bias was deemed “high” concerns for 3 studies, “some” concerns for 5 studies, and “low” concerns for 4 studies. For the 3 non-randomized studies, the risk of bias was deemed “moderate” due to confounding bias. Conclusions: This systematic review of level-I and level-II studies found that the integration of psychosocial interventions into care protocols for TKA offers benefits including improved patient satisfaction and quality of life and reduced health care costs. Limitations include heterogeneity in intervention types and outcomes measured and the varying levels of risk ","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"21 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biological agents, such as bone-marrow derived stem cells (BM-MSC) therapy, have recently been proposed as a treatment option in the management of HOA. We sought to further analyze the use of BM-MSC therapy by investigating the following questions. What is the standard preparation and practice? Does a dose response exist between stem cell therapy and clinical outcome? Does BM-MSC therapy alone produce effective clinical outcomes? We conducted a scoping review using the Methodological Expectations of Cochrane Intervention Reviews Manual and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for scoping reviews. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science Core Collection was performed in June 2023 of studies using exclusively BM-MSC injections for the treatment of HOA. Study characteristic, injection preparation and dosage, clinical outcome measures, and adverse effect data were extracted and interpreted by 3 reviewers. Seven studies with a total of 72 patients met the inclusion criteria. Clinical outcome following intra-articular injection of BM-MSCs was measured using the numerical pain scale, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the visual analogue scale, and other scores, all of which showed reduction in pain and increase in functional ability across studies. This scoping review found that the efficacy of BM-MSC therapy alone in the treatment of HOA appeared beneficial, improving clinical outcomes in each study. All 7 studies used “low-dose” injections with variable follow-up times; thus, a clear dose–response relationship cannot be drawn. Future studies using high doses and analyzing long-term effects of BM-MSC injections in HOA are needed.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":" 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A level of 85 decibels (dB) over an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) is considered hazardous. We sought to identify whether manual and/or robotic arthroplasty procedures increase surgeons’ risk of developing NIHL. At our institution, we prospectively collected intraoperative recordings with a microphone attached to the surgeon during manual total knee arthroplasty (TKA), manual total hip arthroplasty (THA), and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). Recordings taken in the operating room without operating room staff present served as baseline controls. The 172 recordings consisted of 46 baseline, 42 THA, 40 TKA, and 44 RTKA recordings. Decibel levels were reported as “maximum dB level” (the highest sound pressure level using an A-weighted dB scale), “LAeq” (the equivalent continuous sound level), “LCpeak” (the peak sound pressure level using a C-weighted dB scale), and “TWA” (the average dB level projected over an 8-hour period). The percentage of allowable daily noise dose was reported as “dose” and the measured dose projected over 8 hours as “projected dose.” The recordings of surgeries had average maximum dB levels ranging from 106.0 to 108.0 dB, all significantly greater than controls. Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasties had the highest average dose (18.7%) and average projected dose (252.0%). Our review of recordings at a single institution found that noise levels of RTKAs surpassed projected doses of 100%. Orthopedic surgeons performing more than 2 RTKAs per day may be at increased risk of NIHL. Further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of measures such as ear protection to minimize surgeons’ exposure.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141373949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: We sought to investigate the outcomes of staged vs simultaneous cervical and lumbar fusions in terms of differences in postoperative complications and resource use. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using claims data from the 2006 to 2020 all-payer Premier Health Database. Data were extracted for patients who underwent both a cervical and a lumbar fusion procedure either simultaneously (same hospitalization) or staged (within 1 year). Multivariable regression models measured the association between simultaneous or staged procedures and combined complications (including venous thromboembolism, infection, acute renal failure, or vascular/pulmonary/gastrointestinal complications), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and prolonged length of stay. We report odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Overall, 560 (5.2%) and 10 187 (94.8%) of total 10 747 cervical and lumbar fusion procedures were performed simultaneously and staged, respectively. When comparing outcomes after simultaneous procedures to those after staged procedures (for which outcomes from the cervical and lumbar procedures were pooled), simultaneous procedures were associated with higher rates of ICU admission and longer hospital stays, but there were no differences in rates of combined complications. Conclusion: Our retrospective, nationwide database study found that simultaneous cervical and lumbar fusion is relatively rare and its rates of complications do not differ meaningfully from those of staged procedures. However, we found an association between simultaneous cervical and lumbar fusion and higher rates of ICU admission and prolonged length of stay. Further study is warranted.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141114710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sought to determine the association between pre-MUA range-of-motion (ROM) and the risk of repeat MUA and revision in patients who underwent primary TKA. We conducted a retrospective review of 543 MUAs for stiffness at a single institution. Mean age was 62.5 years, and 64% were female. Second MUA or revision TKA were considered failures of treatment. Penalized logistic regression models were used to assess risk factors for failures. The Kaplan-Meier survivorship was used to examine survivorship free from second MUA or revision. Before and after MUA, there was significant improvement in knee flexion (78.0° vs 112.8°, respectively) and extension (4.1° vs 0.8°, respectively); 6.4% of patients required repeat MUA and 5.3% required revision TKA. Survivorship free of second MUA was 90.9%, revision for stiffness was 92.4%, and all-cause revision was 88.2% at 2 years post-MUA. Patients with pre-MUA flexion contracture of ≥5° were more likely to undergo second MUA revision for stiffness and any revision. There were significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes postoperatively. This retrospective chart review suggests that MUA is an effective treatment for post-TKA stiffness, with good early survivorship, and that worse pre-MUA ROM is associated with MUA failure and need for repeat MUA or revision. This information may have implications for patient counseling and management.","PeriodicalId":253125,"journal":{"name":"HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery","volume":"95 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140978557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten parents (9 mothers, 1 father) of 10 children with CP (5 girls, 5 boys; ages 7 to 19 years) were interviewed for 15 to 45 minutes each, yielding 4 themes. First, parents perceived that adaptive climbing challenged the children physically (in reach, balance, strength, and head/neck and lower limb motion); second, that it sharpened children’s cognitive skills (in focus, problem-solving, and strategic thinking); third, that it raised children’s confidence (socially, physically, and emotionally); and fourth, that it expanded children’s sense of what they could do (in mastering a challenge, claiming an athletic identity, and participating in a sport like their peers). In this qualitative study, parents described physical, cognitive, and psychosocial benefits of adaptive climbing for their children with CP.
