Conflicts of Interest in Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery: Where is the Fine Line?

James D. Kang MD

Thornhill Family Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery Harvard Medical School Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery Brigham and Women’s Hospital

Disclosures

• No Consulting • No Royalties or Stock Options in Orthopaedic Companies • Research Grants (in Ferguson Lab through Pitt) – NIH, OREF, AO Spine, CRSR, NASS – Stryker (basic science grant) In years Past – J & J (basic science grant) In years Past 2

“Medtronics paid six of the 10 Twin Cities Spine surgeons….$1.75 Million in royalties and consulting fees in the first 9 months of this 3 year……” Bloomberg News

1 Legal Definition: Conflict of Interest

• A conflict of interest (COI) occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in the other.

4

Levels of Conflicts in Medicine

• Consultants • Stock Options • Venture Capital Investments • Intellectual Property – Royalties from implants • Direct Payments (illegal) • Research Grants • Golf outing, Dinners, Gifts, Pens, etc…

The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.

Ways to Mitigate COIs

• Removal • Disclosure • Recusal • Third Party Evaluations • Code of Ethics

6

2 Why Orthopaedic Surgery At Risk for Conflicts

• Large growth in implant use in past 20 years – Estimated $18 Billion for THR, TKR 2012 – Spine Implant costs not far behind • Large profits by industry • Decrease in Surgeon reimbursements over past 10-20 years

7

Surgeon Industry Collaboration: Definite Positives • Absolutely needed for technological advancements • Surgeon’s ideas and inventions need corporate support • Industry needs surgeons input into new developments for technical advancements

8

Great Examples

• Total – Dr. Charnly – Dr. William Harris and Jorge Galante – Dr. Charles Eng – Dr. Harrington (spinal rods) – Dr. Sig Hansen (IM Nails) • Pioneers in Orthopaedics who also profited from ingenuity and great ideas that advanced orthoapedics 9

3 Why are Conflicts Potentially Dangerous?

• Not a problem if fully disclosed and ethical behavior rules • Relies on Physician to be unbiased and can make the right choice for treament • Large financial conflicts can make even the best physicians “go blind” • The patient becomes the innocent bystander who can get harmed

10

Full Disclosure of Conflicts: Transparency is a must but…..

Accuracy of conflict-of-interest disclosures reported by physicians. Okike K, Kocher MS, Wei EX, Mehlman CT, Bhandari M.

• analyzed the reports of payments made to physicians by five manufacturers of total hip and knee prostheses in 2007 • disclosure statement was reviewed to determine whether the payment had been disclosed • rate of disclosure was 79.3% for directly related payments and 50.0% for indirectly related payments.

11 N Engl J Med. 2009 Oct 8;361(15):1466-74.

Conflict of interest in orthopaedic research. An association between findings and funding in scientific presentations. Okike K, Kocher MS, Mehlman CT, Bhandari M. Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School

• all podium presentations given at the 2001 and 2002 Annual Meetings of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons • Conflicts of interest were reported in 40.8% (212) of 519 abstracts. • factors that remained significant predictors of positive outcomes were royalties (p = 0.002) and consultant or employee status (p = 0.038).

28

BMP-2 (InFuse) Debate

• Was nearing 1 Billion in sales/year • The most successful orthopaedic device in history • Originally FDA approved only for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusions in Titanium Cage device (LT Cage) • Majority of use now “off –label” use – Posterolateral fusions – Other Orthopaedic applications

29

Controversial Issues

• Original FDA trial done by consulting surgeons • All of the studies done later for off label use done by consulting surgeons • Every report seem to favor BMP- 2 over autograft and repeatedly stated the “safety” of BMP-2.

30

10 A critical review of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 trials in spinal surgery: emerging safety concerns and lessons learned. Carragee EJ, Hurwitz EL, Weiner BK. • Original studies found to have serious bias against ICBG control group • FDA documents and subsequent publications found to have serious inconsistencies • 40% increased risk of adverse events in Cervical spine • Higher rates of implant subsidence, urogenital events, retrograde ejaculation, and infection at higher rates compared to controls • In posterior fusions, higher risk of back pain, radiculitis, ectopic bone formation • Higher doses of BMP: association with apparent risk for malignancy

31 Spine J. 2011 Jun;11(6):471-91.

Pointed out that ICBG harvest is not as bad as made out to be by BMP advocates (mostly consultants)

Surgeons now have to carefully scrutinize the data to determine whether conflicts exist and whether to believe the conclusions.

Conclusions?

• In some instances, conflicts are hard to avoid, but doctors have a responsibility to manage them ethically with full disclosure • Physicians should not allow a conflict of interest to influence medical judgment. • Temptation leads to bad behavior • Bad behavior tarnishes the lofty goals of medicine

My Personal Opinions

• Unless you have a great invention, try to stay away from cozy agreements with industry • Consulting with companies are not a problem, but do it ethically – I prefer not to do it at all • My 2 mentors were role models – Henry Bohlman – Ed Hanley

October 12-14, 2018 Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Kiawah Island, SC A Novel Peripheral Nerve Allograft Bioscaffold

Daniel Lara II, MD, Xue Ma, MD, PhD, Zhongyu Li, MD, PhD, Thomas Smith PhD 10/13/2018 North Carolina Orthopaedic Society

Purpose

• To improve Acellular Nerve Allografts (ANA) • Optimizing decellularization and oxidation protocol • Seeding with supportive cells • Improve nerve regeneration following nerve repair

Hypothesis: Our novel acellular nerve allograft (ANA) can be seeded with supportive cells, promoting nerve regeneration.

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center 2

Materials and Methods

• Decellularization with water and detergents removes cellular material without disrupting extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture. • Ingrowth of new cells is impeded due to tissue compartmentalization. • Oxidation increases the porosity of allografts • Decellularization and oxidation protocol

October 12-14, 2018 Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Kiawah Island, SC Shoulder Arthroplasty using Mini-Stem Humeral Components and a Lesser Tuberosity

Evan M. Guerrero, MD A. Jordan Grier, MD Michael P. Morwood, MD Roma A. Kankaria, MD Peter S. Johnston, MD Grant E. Garrigues, MD

Challenges in Shoulder Arthroplasty

• Subscapularis insufficiency – Most common cause of revision surgery in anatomic shoulder arthroplasty1 – Subtle deficiencies occur in up to 2/3 of patients postoperatively2

• Lesser tuberosity management: osteotomy, tenotomy, “peel” – Lesser tuberosity osteotomy (LTO): greater load to failure, less cyclic displacement compared to subscapularis tenotomy or peel3 – Allows monitoring of healing with standard radiographs

• Stem design: standard length, mini-stem, stemless Mini-stem humeral component Standard length humeral component – Mini-stem humeral components (MSHC): decreased bone removal, decreased stress shielding, ease of revision, and ease of treatment of peri-prosthetic fracture compared to standard-length stems

Methods

• Inclusion criteria: Consecutive patients age 18-99 who received anatomic TSA or HHA by one of the two senior authors using combined MSHC and LTO technique. Minimum 2 year clinical and radiographic follow up.

• Exclusion Criteria: Rotator cuff deficient shoulders, revision surgery, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA)

• Postoperative protocol: sling for 6 weeks with well arm assisted ROM in the subscapularis safe zone (140° max forward flexion, 40° max external rotation), at 6 weeks sling discontinued, active ROM and stretching beyond safe zone begins

• Retrospective collection of data on consecutive patients including complications, ROM, pain, outcome scores, and radiographic analysis of 6 week postop and final X-rays

1 Results

• 75 shoulders, mean follow up 27.8 months (24-50 months)

• LTO healing: 67 (89.3%) uneventful healing, 5 (6.67%) failures, 1 (1.33%) fibrous union, 2 (2.67%) with displaced >4 mm at 6 weeks

• 4/5 LTO failures required open repair, including one converted to RTSA.

• 4 (5.33%) stems subsided. • 1/4 loose, required revision • 3/4 were asymptomatic, not requiring treatment.

Discussion

• LTO failure fell within previously reported ranges, and early detection and repair resulted in similar functional outcomes compared to those with uneventful healing

• Implant loosening was uncommon at early follow up

• Technique recommendations: • Take care to preserve metaphyseal bone, standard-length stem should be available in case of an overaggressive LTO • LTO should not communicate with osteotomy of the humeral head • Strict adherence to designated postoperative ROM restrictions per protocol

• LTO and MSHC can be used together safely and effectively for anatomic TSA and HHA, achieving consistent pain relief and functional improvement

3 Complications 10

 5 patients (1.9%) experienced complications  Transient neuropraxia of lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve  Superficial wound infection  Deep wound infection *  Balloon migration *

* Required subsequent surgery for balloon removal

Discussion 11

 Subacromial balloon spacer implantation has demonstrated effectiveness in pain reduction and functional improvement for patients with massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears

 Particular advantages:  Low complication rates (1.9%)  Extended surgery and/or general anesthesia may be contraindicated in patients who have massive rotator cuff tears  If the balloon does not provide sufficient results, all salvage procedures remain possible

Discussion 12

 Potential confounders  Is clinical benefit caused directly by balloon?  What role did concomitant procedures play in clinical outcome?

 Pain reduction and functional persist beyond time of balloon disintegration  Reason is unclear

 Further studies are recommended to vet the effectiveness of balloon implantation compared to other minimally invasive techniques

I am not as good as I thought

4

Glenoid Implantation Variability • Iannotti et al. demonstrated that the angular accuracy associated with the use of free-hand glenoid instruments for pin placement exceeded ± 10° in version & inclination, and is also offset.

•.

5

Glenoid Implantation Variability • Use of PSI resulted in improved precision, but was still associated with ±7°in version & inclination.

6

2 Glenoid Implantation Variability • Meta-analysis by Sadoghi et al. demonstrated that the average error in glenoid retroversion with standard instruments and computer navigation was 10.6° & 4.4°, respectively.

• Thus, navigation was associated with a 6.2° improvement in accuracy. 7

CONCLUSIONS

 Simply ignoring the presence of crystals in patients with elevated cell counts will result in numerous unneeded operations and admissions and place undue physical stress on patients unecessarily.

 As literature has previously described, co- infection and gout is exceedingly rare.

24

8 FUTURE EFFORTS

 Continue to accumulate data to strengthen statistics within crystalline arthropathy arm.  Determine a new cell count value (or another lab) that is more accurate for use in patients with crystalline arthropathy.

 Isolate the immunosuppressed group and analyze the data in order to determine recommendations for handling synovial cell count in that population.

9 The Orthopaedic Destination Motion Sparing Techniques for Cervical Spine Disorders

Venu M. Nemani, MD, PhD Cervical & Reconstructive Spine Surgeon Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic [email protected]

NO relevant financial conflicts of interest to disclose.

Goals

•Understand the indications (and contraindications) for motion sparing procedures in the cervical spine

1 When can we avoid a cervical fusion?

When can we avoid a cervical fusion?

Cervical disc replacement vs ACDF

Best Indication •Soft disc herniation without degenerative disease

Contraindications •Cervical kyphosis •Instability on flexion/extension •Severe disc collapse (< 3mm persistent disc space) •Facet arthrosis at operative level

2 Cervical disc replacement vs ACDF

Pros •Decreased incidence of adjacent segment degeneration •Superior outcomes in carefully selected patients compared to ACDF, especially in re-operation rate

Cons •Unclear long term sequelae of wear debris near spinal cord, nerve roots •Longevity of implant bearing surface?

Laminoplasty vs multilevel fusion

Indications •Multilevel spinal stenosis causing cervical myelopathy with neutral to lordotic alignment

Contraindications •Cervical kyphosis •Cervical instability •Stenosis requiring complete resection of the C2 or C7 spinous processes

Laminoplasty vs Multilevel fusion

Pros •Motion sparing procedure •No risk of pseudarthrosis •Largely equivalent improvement in myelopathy scores

Cons •Technically more challenging •Risk of post-operative kyphosis (likely technique dependent)

October 12-14, 2018 Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Kiawah Island, SC The Financial Burden Associated with Multiple Shoulder Dislocations and the Potential Cost- Savings of Surgical Stabilization Shea Comadoll, BS; Douglas Jarvis, MD; Hunter Yancey, BS; Benjamin Graves, MD

Benjamin Graves (PI): consultant for Depuy/Mitek I and the other co-authors have nothing to disclose. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center

Purpose/Hypothesis ● Shoulder dislocation is a potentially costly problem. ● Incidence rates vary from 23.1 to 23.9 per 100,000 person-years.1 ● Recurrent instability following a first-time shoulder dislocation may exceed 26%1 ● First-time dislocators treated with shoulder stabilization surgery have redislocation rates 5-10%2

Purpose: The goal of this study is to help guide healthcare resource allocation through economic evaluation of the costs of shoulder dislocation and operative versus non- operative treatment options.

Hypothesis: While a potential larger cost on the front-end, stabilization surgery may in fact decrease the overall healthcare burden of managing a patient with multiple shoulder dislocations compared to non-operative treatment.

Materials and Methods

• Retrospective study: patients with shoulder dislocation who presented to an ED at a level 1 trauma center in 2016. • Chart review performed to determine: • Demographics • Dislocation history • Injury and treatment specifics (mechanism, neurovascular status, sling, radiographs) • Anesthesia for reduction • Prior or scheduled • Financial Department assisted with: • Determining average cost of ED presentation for shoulder dislocation based on anesthesia used for reduction • Direct hospital cost of shoulder stabilization procedures (Laterjet and Bankart repair) • Using this data a cost-benefit analysis was constructed to assess shoulder stabilization surgery as a preventative measure of future ED visits/costs as compared to costs incurred after subsequent shoulder dislocations.

Conclusion

• In 2016 at a single Academic Institution the cost of treating: • shoulder dislocations in the ED: >$200,000 • repeat dislocators was >$88,280 • those with 3 or more dislocations >$42,600 • Prevention of an ED visit for a recurrent shoulder dislocation saves on average $2,207 starting after 2-3 “prevented” future visits • In patients at a high risk of recurrent instability, these data suggest there may be cost-savings benefits from early stabilization surgery.

• Limitations: • retrospective design • inability to track patient visits to ED not within our hospital system • subset of patients with multidirectional instability or secondary gain, such as malingering, who would not be helped with a simple stabilization surgery, could not be excluded from the data, potentially overvaluing the cost savings of a surgical operation.

• Future Directions: • effects of orthopaedic consult and orthopaedic follow up on the occurrence of repeated dislocations • frequency of patients being offered and receive stabilization procedures

2 The Role of Femoral Nerve Blocks for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction – A Change in Practice M. Leslie Golden, MD Robin Leopold, MD Ty Bullard, MD Jeffrey Spang, MD University of North Carolina Department of Orthopaedics

1

Risk of Femoral Nerve Blocks

• AJSM 2014 » Luo et al compared 6 month isokinetic strength in 124 pediatric post op ACL-R » FNB group -statistically significant strength deficits and delayed RTP vs. control

2017 » Swank et al -systematic review to compare FNB to multimodal anesthesia » Suggestive that FNB causes deficit of quad strength up to 6 mo post-op with uncertain impact on return to sport

2

Efficacy of Femoral Nerve Block Alternatives • Arthroscopy 2018 » Kurosaka et al randomized 129 patients to periarticular injection or FNB after ACL-R » Found significantly better pain control (VAS scores) and decreased opioid use in periarticular injection group • AJSM 2016 » Secrist et al -systematic review of randomized controlled trials looking at pain management after ACL-R » Found regional nerve blocks and intra-articular injections efficacious » Early mobilization and multi-modal pain regimens reduce opioid consumption 3

1 Methods

• Retrospective chart review ACL-R July 2016-March 2018 • Patients who did not receive a preoperative block were offered one postoperatively • Patient factors analyzed: » age, gender, BMI, pre-operative narcotic use, smoking status • Operative factors analyzed: » graft type, meniscus surgery, chondral surgery, revision, > 1 ligament surgery

4

Results

• 172 ACL-R qualified with 56 patients (32.5%) requiring a post-op FNB • A statistically higher proportion of females(48.7%) (37/76) than males(19/96) required post-op FNB blocks (p<.0001) • Average age of FNB 27.6 years versus no block 24 years (p=0.01) • Allograft patients (50%) more likely to need FNB than autograft patients (26.9%) (p=0.0055) (21/42 vs 35/130) • No association between meniscus surgery and need for FNB 5

Discussion

• Overall institutional change saved 67.5% of ACL-R patients from receiving a scheduled pre-operative FNB

• Gender, age, graft all associated with pain requiring FNB, greater sample size likely needed to determine other surgical variables

• Paradoxical finding of allografts more likely to need a block than autografts requires further investigation, may be due to confounding from gender and age
