➢ Sacral insufficiency fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and are becoming increasingly prevalent in elderly patients with osteoporosis.➢ Prompt identification of these injuries and appropriate treatment for stable and unstable fractures can reduce patient morbidity.➢ The treatment of sacral insufficiency fractures depends on the severity of symptoms, which, in most cases, is associated with the degree of fracture instability. Treatment options include nonoperative measures, pharmacologic therapies, procedural treatments, and operative management.➢ Sacroplasty may be an effective procedural treatment for sacral insufficiency fractures, although there has been a lack of comparative studies, and complication types and rates are concerning.➢ Percutaneous posterior pelvic ring screws demonstrate stable fixation, allowing early patient mobilization. Standard posterior pelvic ring percutaneous fixation has high screw backout rates, although new implants may mitigate these complications.➢ There have been limited comparative data on outcomes following treatment of these injuries across procedural and operative techniques.

BACKGROUNDWhether the sensory and behavioral traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affect bracing outcomes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear. This study evaluated the impact of ASD on bracing success, curve progression, and patient-reported outcomes in patients with AIS.METHODSThis retrospective study included patients 10 to 18 years of age who were treated for AIS with bracing between 2011 and 2024. A total of 58 patients with ASD were matched in a 1:2 ratio to 116 controls with use of nearest-neighbor matching based on BrAIST-Calc predicted probabilities. Exclusions included non-idiopathic scoliosis, early-onset scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis, a Risser stage of >2, pre-treatment curves of <25° or >40°, and inadequate follow-up. Progression to the surgical threshold was defined as a major curve of ≥45°. Firth logistic regression was used to model the association between ASD and progression to the surgical threshold, adjusting for residual imbalances.RESULTSThe matched cohort (n = 174; 51% male; 40% White, 25% Hispanic, 21% Black, 10% Asian, and 5% not specified) demonstrated balanced propensity scores (SMD = 0.006). Compared with patients without ASD, those with ASD had higher rates of progression to the surgical threshold (40% versus 20%; p = 0.005), a curve progression of ≥6° (60% versus 38%; p = 0.005), noncompliance (36% versus 22%; p = 0.04), brace-related issues (22% versus 8%; p = 0.006), and surgery being recommended or performed (33% versus 13%; p = 0.002). In the multivariable analysis, ASD (odds ratio [OR], 3.12 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.32 to 7.35]; p = 0.009), noncompliance (OR, 4.00 [95% CI, 1.65 to 9.71]; p = 0.002), and a greater initial curve magnitude (OR per degree, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.15 to 1.38]; p < 0.001) significantly increased the odds of progression to the surgical threshold. Within the ASD group, Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised (SRS-22r) self-image, management, and total scores improved significantly over time. No significant between-group differences in change scores were observed.CONCLUSIONSAdolescents with ASD were >3 times more likely to progress to the surgical threshold and had higher rates of noncompliance, brace-related issues, and surgery being recommended or performed. ASD may represent a risk factor for bracing failure, potentially related to sensory or behavioral intolerance. Nonetheless, 60% of patients with ASD avoided progression to the surgical threshold, and within-group improvements in SRS-22r scores were observed. These findings support bracing as a viable treatment option for patients with ASD, although it is likely best paired with individualized care and closer follow-up. Future studies should aim to improve brace tolerance and adherence in this population.LEVEL OF EVIDENCETherapeutic Level III.

BACKGROUNDAlthough the use of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) with antioxidants in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has increased over time, evidence of any benefit in survivorship over HXLPE without antioxidants is lacking. We sought to compare the TKA revision risk for HXLPE with and without antioxidants.METHODSData from the Kaiser Permanente health-care system's total joint replacement registry were used for a cohort study. Adult patients who underwent primary fixed-bearing TKA with patellar resurfacing for osteoarthritis from 2001 to 2023 were included. The study groups were cases of TKA performed with HXLPE with and without antioxidants. The primary outcome was all-cause revision; revisions for septic reasons, any aseptic reasons, wear, and loosening were secondary outcomes. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to evaluate the revision risk by treatment group with an adjustment for covariates.RESULTSThe final study sample included 92,923 TKA cases: 48,846 performed with HXLPE implants with antioxidants and 44,077 performed with HXLPE implants without antioxidants. The mean patient age was 67.7 years, and the mean patient body mass index was 31.2 kg/m2. Most patients were female (64.3%) and White (64.8%) and had an American Society of Anesthesiologists classification of 1 to 2 (65.2%). The 13-year crude revision incidence was 3.4% for the antioxidant group and 4.2% for the group without antioxidants. After we adjusted for confounders, we observed a lower revision risk for the antioxidant group compared with the group without antioxidants (hazard ratio [HR], 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79 to 0.95]). When we investigated revisions for specific reasons, we observed a lower risk for aseptic revision (HR, 0.86 [95% CI, 0.76 to 0.97]) and for wear (HR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.21 to 0.81]) in the antioxidant group.CONCLUSIONSWe observed a lower risk of al-cause revision and a lower risk of revision specifically for wear in TKA cases performed with HXLPE with antioxidants added.LEVEL OF EVIDENCETherapeutic Level III.

BACKGROUNDAlthough radiographs are the first-line imaging modality, differentiating between neoplastic pathologic fractures and nonpathologic fractures on radiographs can sometimes be challenging. In this study, we aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning model capable of distinguishing neoplastic pathologic fractures from nonpathologic fractures on hip radiographs to enhance diagnostic accuracy.METHODSThis retrospective, multicenter study analyzed anteroposterior hip radiographs from patients who visited the emergency department at 4 different institutions. The deep learning model was trained on, and tested using, data from 338 patients at a single institution and externally validated on data from 488 patients across 3 additional institutions.RESULTSThe model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.880, with a sensitivity of 0.882 and a specificity of 0.879, on the internal test set. It was then externally validated using the data of 488 patients (67 with neoplastic pathologic fracture and 421 with nonpathologic fracture) from institutions separate from where the model was developed. The model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.848, sensitivity of 0.910, and specificity of 0.786. Its performance was comparable with that of general orthopaedic surgeons.CONCLUSIONSThe developed deep learning model is a reliable and valid tool for distinguishing neoplastic pathologic fractures from nonpathologic fractures on hip radiographs. It has the potential to assist orthopaedic surgeons in resource-limited settings, where optimizing the interpretation of radiographs is critical for patient care.

BACKGROUNDUnderstanding the sources of patients' expectations of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can foster realistic expectations. Sources of expectations may be influenced by clinical and psychological variables, including general disposition or attitude.METHODSPatients undergoing TKA completed a 19-item survey preoperatively that addressed the amount of improvement expected (i.e., "complete" to "a little") for symptoms and physical and psychological well-being. Patients reported the sources of these expectations, which were grouped into categories. Disposition or attitude was assessed for positive affect (e.g., openness to change) and negative affect (e.g., irritability) with use of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Clinical status was assessed using the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-Joint Replacement (KOOS-JR). Expectations and sources of expectations were compared with KOOS-JR and PANAS scores and demographic and clinical characteristics (e.g., symptom duration) with use of statistical analyses.RESULTSA total of 232 patients (mean age, 65 years; 60% women; 17% Latino ethnicity or non-White race) were enrolled 17 ± 8 days preoperatively. Seventy-two percent expected ≥15 of the survey items; complete improvement was expected for 59% of items. Expecting more items was associated with better preoperative KOOS-JR scores (p < 0.0001), more negative affect (p = 0.003), a shorter duration of symptoms (p = 0.01), and not being a college graduate (p = 0.04). Patients volunteered multiple sources of expectations, including favorable outcomes from a previous orthopaedic surgery (11% of patients), knowledge of favorable (56%) and unfavorable (7%) TKA outcomes in others, their current surgeon (15%), avoidance of further knee deterioration (10%), internet information (16%), and general optimism (18%). Citing more sources was associated with worse KOOS-JR scores (p = 0.02) and less positive affect (p = 0.009). Sources of expectations were associated with patient variables; specifically, knowledge of favorable outcomes was associated with better KOOS-JR scores (p = 0.04), knowledge of unfavorable outcomes was associated with more negative affect (p = 0.04), optimism was associated with more positive affect (p = 0.01), and information from the internet was associated with longer symptom duration (p = 0.04) and less negative affect (p = 0.02).CONCLUSIONSPatients had high expectations of TKA and derived these expectations from diverse sources spanning personal and social network experiences. Patients' expectations and/or sources of expectations were associated with functional status and positive and negative affect.LEVEL OF EVIDENCEPrognostic Level II.

BACKGROUNDTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established procedure for hip osteoarthritis (OA); however, its clinical outcomes are variable, and the optimal timing for surgery remains unclear. Identifying the preoperative predictors that influence midterm patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) could improve patient outcomes.METHODSThis retrospective cohort study included 274 Asian patients who underwent primary THA for OA between 2012 and 2018, who completed preoperative physical assessments, and who responded to a postoperative mail survey. Preoperative variables included symptom duration, pain intensity, hip range of motion, lower-limb muscle strength, and 10-m free gait speed. PROMs were assessed using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12). Clinically meaningful outcomes were assessed using the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), defined as a score of ≥42 for the OHS and a score of ≥50 for the FJS-12. Additionally, K-means clustering was applied to categorize patients into an excellent outcome group and a control group on the basis of their PROMs.RESULTSMultivariable regression analysis revealed that preoperative gait speed significantly predicted both the OHS and FJS-12 outcomes (p < 0.01). Furthermore, hip flexion range of motion and hip flexion strength were significantly associated with preoperative gait speed (p < 0.01). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified a gait speed cutoff value of 0.7 m/s for achieving the PASS for the OHS (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.69; p < 0.01) and a cutoff value of 1.0 m/s for achieving the PASS for the FJS-12 (AUC: 0.60; p = 0.01). K-means clustering identified preoperative gait speed as the sole significant predictor of classification into the excellent outcome group (odds ratio, 5.85; p < 0.01). The ROC curve analysis revealed a gait speed cutoff value of 1.0 m/s for classification into the excellent group (AUC: 0.64; p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONSPreoperative gait speed, which reflects decreased mobility due to hip joint dysfunction, was a significant predictor of midterm PROMs after THA. Maintaining a preoperative gait speed of 1.0 m/s could serve as a critical threshold for achieving favorable postoperative outcomes, regardless of patient age.LEVEL OF EVIDENCEPrognostic Level III.

背景：全髋关节置换术（THA）是治疗髋关节骨关节炎（OA）的一种成熟的手术；然而，其临床结果是可变的，手术的最佳时机仍不清楚。确定术前影响中期患者报告结果测量（PROMs）的预测因素可以改善患者的预后。方法：本回顾性队列研究纳入了274例亚洲患者，这些患者在2012年至2018年期间因OA接受了原发性THA，他们完成了术前身体评估，并对术后邮件调查做出了回应。术前变量包括症状持续时间、疼痛强度、髋关节活动范围、下肢肌肉力量和10米自由步速。使用牛津髋关节评分（OHS）和遗忘关节评分-12 （FJS-12）对prom进行评估。使用患者可接受症状状态（PASS）评估临床有意义的结果，定义为OHS评分≥42分，FJS-12评分≥50分。此外，采用K-means聚类，根据患者的PROMs将患者分为优秀结果组和对照组。结果多变量回归分析显示，术前步态速度对OHS和FJS-12预后均有显著预测作用（p < 0.01）。此外，髋屈曲活动范围和髋屈曲强度与术前步态速度显著相关（p < 0.01）。通过受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析，确定了OHS的步态速度截止值为0.7 m/s（曲线下面积[AUC]: 0.69; p < 0.01）， FJS-12的步态速度截止值为1.0 m/s （AUC: 0.60; p = 0.01）。K-means聚类发现术前步态速度是进入优胜者组的唯一显著预测因子（优势比，5.85;p < 0.01）。ROC曲线分析显示，步态速度截断值为1.0 m/s为优组（AUC: 0.64; p < 0.01）。结论术前步态速度反映髋关节功能障碍导致的活动能力下降，是THA术后中期PROMs的重要预测因子。无论患者年龄如何，术前保持1.0 m/s的步速可以作为获得良好术后结果的关键阈值。证据水平：预后III级。有关证据水平的完整描述，请参见作者说明。
