Objective: To develop a plan for harmonizing outcomes for people undergoing total joint replacement (TJR), to achieve consensus regarding TJR outcome research.
Methods: The TJR working group met during the 2014 Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) 12 meeting in Budapest, Hungary. Multiple conference calls preceded the face-to-face meeting. Brief presentations were made during a 1.5-h meeting, which included an overview of published systematic reviews of TJR trials and the results of a recent systematic review of TJR clinical trial outcome domains and measures. This was followed by discussion of potential core set areas/domains for TJR clinical trials (as per OMERACT Filter 2.0) as well as the challenges associated with the measurement of these domains.
Results: Working group participants discussed which TJR clinical trial outcome domains/areas map to the inner versus outer core for core domain set. Several challenges were identified with TJR outcomes including how to best measure function after TJR, elucidating the source of the pre- and post-TJR joint pain being measured, joint-specific versus generic quality of life instruments and the importance of patient satisfaction and revision surgery as outcomes. A preliminary core domain set for TJR clinical trials was proposed and included pain, function, patient satisfaction, revision, adverse events, and death. This core domain set will be further vetted with a broader audience.
Conclusion: An international effort with active collaboration with the orthopedic community to standardize key outcome domains and measures is under way with the TJR working group. This effort will be further developed with new collaborations.

Estimating the Budget Impact and Joint Replacement Avoidance by Implementing a Standardized Education and Exercise Therapy Program for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis in a Publicly Insured Healthcare System.
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)
December 2024
University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Objective: Estimate the budget impact of funding a standardized education and exercise therapy program (GLA:D®) for people with hip and knee OA waiting for total joint replacement (TJR) consultation in a universal publicly insured healthcare system in Canada.
Methods: We built a budget impact analysis (BIA) model to estimate the annual cost of providing GLA:D® program to people waiting for TJR consultation and then forecasted a three-year budget cycle. The base case assumes 40% attend GLA:D®, 11% avoid surgery, uniform care delivery, training costs are incurred separately, and the healthcare system has enough trained staff to meet demand.
Management Outcomes after Image-guided Percutaneous Biopsy for Suspected Vertebral Osteomyelitis-Discitis.

From the Department of Radiology (DGM., MVS., GMS., REG., JSR., TJR.) Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ, USA; Department of Radiology (FED.), Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. Department of Radiology (EHM.), Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, USA.
Background And Purpose: Studies show a modest yield for image-guided biopsy of suspected vertebral osteomyelitis-discitis. Many studies evaluate factors to improve diagnostic yield, and few studies assess how biopsy results impact clinical management. We aim to evaluate the impact of biopsy results on clinical management in suspected vertebral osteomyelitis-discitis.

Article Synopsis
- - There is a need for better tools to help manage oligometastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (omCSPC), as highlighted in a retrospective study examining the effectiveness of the ArteraAI Prostate Test.
- - This study involved 222 men and measured outcomes like overall survival (OS) and time until the cancer becomes castration-resistant, finding a high MMAI score linked to worse OS and shorter time to resistance.
- - Additionally, the study indicated that patients with high MMAI scores who received metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) had improved metastasis-free survival compared to those with low scores, pointing to the potential of the MMAI biomarker for guiding treatment decisions.
The effect of histological and subclinical chorioamnionitis and funisitis on breathing effort in premature infants at birth: a retrospective cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- Chorioamnionitis (HCA) and funisitis (FUN) are linked to preterm birth, and their combined effects can negatively influence an infant's respiratory drive after birth.* -
- A study involving 186 infants found that those with HCA and FUN had significantly lower gestational ages and birthweights compared to those without these conditions.* -
- While HCA and FUN were associated with reduced breathing effort in the first five minutes of life, subclinical HCA and FUN showed no significant impact on breathing metrics.*
Total joint replacement of the lumbar spine: report of the first two cases with 16 years of follow-up.
J Spine Surg
September 2024
3Spine, Chattanooga, TN, USA.
Background: Total joint replacement (TJR) of the lumbar spine is a revolutionary procedure that couples the clinical benefits of neural decompression with preservation of natural motion and sagittal balance at the operative level. The TJR procedure involves reconstruction of the entire motion segment using a posterior bilateral transforaminal approach to access the disc space. The TJR implant (MOTUS, 3Spine, Chattanooga, TN, USA) replaces the function of the intervertebral disc and facet joints, performing biomechanically as a new articulation for the resected, degenerated disc and facets.
