Journal of Orthopaedic Research Page 2 of 16 1 2 3 ABSTRACT 4 5 6 Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry 4DXA5 is the gold standard method for measuring 7 8 periprosthetic bone remodeling, but relies on a region of interest 4R815 analysis approach. 9 10 Whilst this addresses issues of anatomic variability it is insensitive to bone remodeling events 11 12 13 at the sub-R81 level. We have validated a high-spatial resolution tool, termed DXA-Region- 14 15 Free Analysis 4DXA-RFA5 that uses advanced image processing approaches to allow 16 17 :uantitation of bone mineral density 4BMD5 at the individual pixel 4data-point5 level. Here 18 For Peer Review 19 we compared the resolution of bone remodeling measurements made around a stemless 20 21 22 femoral prosthesis in 1A subBects over 24 months using R81-based analysis versus that made 23 24 using DXA-RFA. Using the R81 approach the regional pattern of BMD change varied by 25 26 region, with greatest loss in R81C 420D, PE0.0015, and largest gain in R814 46D, PE0.0C5. 27 28 Analysis using DXA-RFA showed a focal zone of increased BMD localized to the prosthesis- 29 30 bone interface 430-40D, PE0.0015 that was not resolved using conventional DXA analysis. 31 32 33 The 20D bone loss observed in R81C with conventional DXA was resolved to a focal area 34 35 adBacent to the cut surface of the infero-medial femoral neck 4up to -40D, PE0.00015. DXA- 36 37 RFA enables high resolution analysis of DXA datasets without the limitations incurred using 38 39 R81-based approaches. 40 41 42 Keywords: bone mineral density, femur, total hip arthroplasty, dual energy x-ray 43 44 45 absorptiometry region-free analysis. 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 2 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

However, current 8 9 10 analysis approaches express BMD as an average value within a given region of interest 11 1 12 4R815. This value is calculated as the mean BMD value derived from large numbers of 13 14 pixels contained within the defined R81. However, bone remodeling events occurring after 15 16 prosthesis insertion are spatially-complex and may not be uniform across a given R81,2 For 17 18 For Peer Review 19 example, within a large R81 the BMD change occurring over a given time at the bone- 20 2 21 prosthesis interface may differ substantially to that occurring at the bone periosteal surface. 22 23 Such differences cannot be resolved using R81-based DXA analysis technology, whilst the 24 25 alternate computed tomography-based approach is accompanied with a higher radiation 26 27 exposure dose.3. 4 Further, different R81 models may also be re:uired to measure BMD 28 29 C-7 30 change around prostheses with differing geometries, making :uantitative comparisons of 31 32 bone remodeling between prostheses challenging. 33 34 35 1n order to solve these issues we recently developed and validated a high-spatial 36 37 resolution tool for measuring femoral periprosthetic BMD change events, termed DXA- 38 39 Region-Free Analysis 4DXA-RFA5.A This analysis approach uses the data contained within a 40 41 42 standard DXA ac:uisition and applies contemporary image processing techni:ues to allow 43 9. 10 44 full statistical use of the spatial information contained within each DXA scan, shedding 45 46 this limitation of R81-based analysis approaches. 47 48 49 1n this study we compared and contrasted the sensitivity of DXA-RFA versus R81- 50 51 based DXA analysis to detect BMD change over 24 months in the setting of a stemless, 52 53 54 hydroxyapatite-coated femoral prosthesis 4The Silent hip prosthesis, DePuy 1nternational Ltd, 55 56 Leeds, U-5.

This may not be a benefit on all plans or the plan may have broader or more limited benefits than those listed in this Medical Policy. Description Lower Extremity Major Joint Replacement or Arthroplasty refers to the replacement of the hip or knee joint. The goal of total hip or knee replacement surgery is to relieve pain and improve or increase functional activity of the member. The surgical treatment (arthroplasty) is the replacement of the damaged joint with a prosthesis. The chief reasons for joint arthroplasty (total joint replacement) are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis (result of a fracture), osteonecrosis, malignancy, and revisions of previous surgery. Treatment options include physical therapy, analgesics or anti- inflammatory medications. The aim is to improve functional status and relieve pain. Arthroplasty failures are caused by trauma, chronic progressive joint disease, prosthetic loosening and infection of the prosthetic joint Coverage Determination Prior Authorization is required for 27130, 27132, 27134, 27447, 27486, and 27487.

Total Hip Arthroplasty for Surgically Ankylosed Hips. Cerrahpaşa Medical Journal 2020; 44(2): 93-97. Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term results of total hip arthroplasty in patients with surgically ankylosed hips. Methods: We reviewed 8 hips of 7 patients in whom ankylosed hips were converted to total hip arthroplasty between October 2011 and November 2015. All patients had surgical ankylosis of their hips. All patients were evaluated regarding lumbar and contralateral hip pain, hip joint range of motion (ROM), functional status, and satisfaction from treatment after surgery. Results: In our study, the etiology of the ankylosis was tuberculous septic arthritis in 2 (25%) and developmental hip dysplasia in 6 (75%) hips. The mean duration of the surgical ankylosis before conversion surgery was 29±13.6 years. All patients had osseous ankylosis and the indications for arthroplasty were intractable low back pain in 6 patients (85.7%) and hip pain in 4 patients (57.1%). The mean fol- low-up period was 13±2.7 months. There was statistically significant improvement in lumbar and contralateral hip pain, hip joint ROM, functional status, and satisfaction from treatment after surgery. Conclusion: Conversion of hip ankylosis to total hip arthroplasty is an effective method to regain hip function and control symptoms of neighboring joints.
