Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a pathologic process characterized by the formation of bone tissue in extraskeletal locations. The hip is a common location of HO, especially as a complication of arthroplasty. Here, we devise a first-of-its-kind mouse model of post-surgical hip HO and validate expected cell sources of HO using several HO progenitor cell reporter lines. To induce HO, an anterolateral surgical approach to the hip was used, followed by disclocation and acetabular reaming. Animals were analyzed with high-resolution roentgenograms and micro-computed tomography, conventional histology, immunohistochemistry, and assessments of fluorescent reporter activity. All the treated animals' developed periarticular HO with an anatomical distribution similar to human patients after arthroplasty. Heterotopic bone was found in periosteal, inter/intramuscular, and intracapsular locations. Further, the use of either PDGFRα or scleraxis (Scx) reporter mice demonstrated that both cell types gave rise to periarticular HO in this model. In summary, acetabular reaming reproducibly induces periarticular HO in the mouse reproducing human disease, and with defined mesenchymal cellular contributors similar to other experimental HO models. This protocol may be used in the future for further detailing of the cellular and molecular mediators of post-surgical HO, as well as the screening of new therapies.

Physical and mental demand during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty: Comparison of robotic-assisted and conventional techniques.
J Orthop

Introduction: The adoption of new techniques, such as the direct anterior (DA) approach, and technologies, such as robotic assistance, in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has the potential to alleviate the intraoperative physical and mental demand that surgeons experience. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the physical and mental demand of surgeons performing conventional DA THA with fluoroscopy and robotic-assisted DA THA without fluoroscopy.
Methods: Two orthopaedic surgeons completed bilateral DA THA's on six cadaveric specimens.

To compare the accuracy and efficiency between the model development method and the software development method, which design and develop 3D printed integral anatomical acetabular prosthesis to be used in total hip arthroplasty(THA) for patients with Crowe type Ⅱ and Ⅲ developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH). Fifteen patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis due to Crowe type Ⅱ and Ⅲ DDH who underwent THA in the Orthopedics Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College between January 2015 and June 2023 were selected in this study retrospectively. There were 1 male (1 hip) and 14 females (17 hips) with a mean age of (55.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the efficiency of robotic-assisted direct anterior (DA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) without fluoroscopy to traditional DA THA that uses fluoroscopy in two orthopaedic surgeons performing surgeries on cadaver specimens.
- Results showed that the robotic-assisted approach had significantly shorter acetabular reaming times and required fewer acetabular reamers compared to conventional techniques.
- Total surgical times and other workflow metrics were similar between the two methods, indicating potential advantages of robotic assistance in terms of efficiency without sacrificing overall surgical outcomes.
Tripod Fixation of Periacetabular Metastatic Lesions Using the IlluminOss Device.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
September 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.
Background: Percutaneous tripod fixation of periacetabular lesions is performed at our institution for patients with metastatic bone disease and a need for quick return to systemic therapy. We have begun to use the IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System instead of the metal implants previously described in the literature because of the success of the IlluminOss implant in fixing fragility fractures about the pelvis.
Description: At our institution, the procedure is performed in the interventional radiology suite in order to allow for the use of 3D radiographic imaging and vector guidance systems.

The robotic arm-assisted system (MAKO) has pioneered a transformative approach to hip joint restoration, excelling in reinstating innate hip joint anatomy and biomechanics. This case represents the initial application of the system in revision surgery following a cut-out complication. A 69-year-old female, previously independent and mobile, presented with left hip pain.
