    Abstract Background: Opioid prescribing in the context of orthopaedic surgery has been recognized as having a critical role in the ongoing opioid epidemic. Given the negative consequences of chronic opioid use, great efforts have been made to reduce both preoperative and postoperative opioid prescribing and consumption in orthopaedic surgery. Musculoskeletal oncology patients represent a unique subset of patients, and there is a paucity of data evaluating perioperative opioid consumption and the risk for chronic use. The objective of the present study was to describe opioid consumption patterns and evaluate predictors of chronic opioid use in musculoskeletal oncology patients undergoing limb-salvage surgery and endoprosthetic reconstruction.
    Methods: The present study was a secondary analysis of the recently completed PARITY (Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery) trial and included musculoskeletal oncology patients undergoing lower-extremity endoprosthetic reconstruction. The primary outcome was the incidence of opioid consumption over the study period. A multivariate binomial logistic regression model was created to explore predictors of chronic opioid consumption at 1 year postoperatively.
    Results: Overall, 193 (33.6%) of 575 patients were consuming opioids preoperatively. Postoperatively, the number of patients consuming opioids was 82 (16.7%) of 492 at 3 months, 37 (8%) of 460 patients at 6 months, and 28 (6.6%) of 425 patients at 1 year. Of patients consuming opioids preoperatively, 12 (10.2%) of 118 had continued to consume opioids at 1 year postoperatively. The adjusted regression model found that only surgery for metastatic bone disease was predictive of chronic opioid use (odds ratio, 4.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.54 to 15.40; p = 0.007). Preoperative opioid consumption, older age, sex, longer surgical times, reoperation rates, and country of origin were not predictive of chronic use.
    Conclusions: Despite a high prevalence of preoperative opioid use, an invasive surgical procedure, and a high rate of reoperation, few patients had continued to consume opioids at 1 year postoperatively. The presence of metastases was associated with chronic opioid use. These results are a substantial departure from the existing orthopaedic literature evaluating other patient populations, and they suggest that specific prescribing guidelines are warranted for musculoskeletal oncology patients.

    Abstract Background: Although the treatment of lower-extremity bone tumors is similar between adult and pediatric patients, differences in outcomes are unknown. Outcomes for lower-extremity oncologic reconstruction have been challenging to study because of the low incidence and heterogeneity in disease and patient characteristics. The PARITY (Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery) trial is the largest prospective data set assembled to date for patients with lower-extremity bone tumors and presents an opportunity to investigate differences in outcomes between these groups.
    Methods: Patient details were acquired from the prospectively collected PARITY trial database. The 1993 Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS-93) and Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) questionnaires were administered preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Continuous outcomes were compared between groups with use of the Student t test, and dichotomous outcomes were compared with use of the Pearson chi-square test.
    Results: A total of 150 pediatric and 447 adult patients were included. Pediatric patients were more likely than adult patients to have a primary bone tumor (146 of 150 compared with 287 of 447, respectively; p < 0.001) and to have received adjuvant chemotherapy (140 of 149 compared with 195 of 441, respectively; p < 0.001). Reoperation rates were not significantly different between age groups (45 of 105 pediatric patients compared with 106 of 341 adult patients; p ≤ 0.13). Pediatric patients had higher mean MSTS-93 scores (64.7 compared with 53.8 among adult patients; p < 0.001) and TESS (73.4 compared with 60.4 among adult patients; p < 0.001) at baseline, which continued to 1 year postoperatively (mean MSTS-93 score, 82.0 compared with 76.8 among adult patients; p = 0.02; mean TESS, 87.7 compared with 78.6 among adult patients; p < 0.001). Despite the differences in outcomes between cohorts, pediatric and adult patients demonstrated similar improvement in MSTS-93 scores (mean difference, 17.4 and 20.0, respectively; p = 0.48) and TESS (mean difference, 14.1 and 14.7, respectively; p = 0.83) from baseline to 1 year postoperatively.
    Conclusions: Pediatric patients had significantly better functional outcomes than adult patients at nearly all of the included postoperative time points; however, pediatric and adult patients showed similar mean improvement in these outcomes at 1 year postoperatively. These findings may be utilized to help guide the postoperative expectations of patients undergoing oncologic reconstruction.

    Abstract Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a major complication following oncologic reconstructions. Our objectives were (1) to assess whether the use of postoperative drains and/or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) were associated with SSIs following lower-extremity oncologic reconstruction and (2) to identify factors associated with the duration of postoperative drains and with the duration of NPWT.
    Methods: This is a secondary analysis of the Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery (PARITY) trial, a multi-institution randomized controlled trial of lower-extremity oncologic reconstructions. Data were recorded regarding the use of drains alone, NPWT alone, or both NPWT and drains, including the total duration of each postoperatively. We analyzed postoperative drain duration and associations with tourniquet use, intraoperative thromboprophylaxis or antifibrinolytic use, incision length, resection length, and total operative time, through use of a linear regression model. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the independent predictors of SSI.
    Results: Overall, 604 patients were included and the incidence of SSI was 15.9%. Postoperative drains alone were used in 409 patients (67.7%), NPWT alone was used in 15 patients (2.5%), and both postoperative drains and NPWT were used in 68 patients (11.3%). The median (and interquartile range [IQR]) duration of drains and of NPWT was 3 days (IQR, 2 to 5 days) and 6 days (IQR, 4 to 8 days), respectively. The use of postoperative drains alone, NPWT alone, or both drains and NPWT was not associated with SSI (p = 0.14). Increased postoperative drain duration was associated with longer operative times and no intraoperative tourniquet use, as shown on linear regression analysis (p < 0.001 and p = 0.03, respectively). A postoperative drain duration of ≥14 days (hazard ratio [HR], 3.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 9.6; p = 0.01) and an operative time of ≥8 hours (HR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.7 to 11.9; p = 0.002) were independent predictors of SSI following lower-extremity oncologic reconstruction.
    Conclusions: A postoperative drain duration of ≥14 days and an operative time of ≥8 hours were independent predictors of SSI following lower-extremity oncologic reconstruction. Neither the use of postoperative drains nor the use of NPWT was a predictor of SSI. Future research is required to delineate the association of the combined use of postoperative drains and NPWT with SSI.

    Abstract Background: The femur is the most common site of metastasis in the appendicular skeleton, and metastatic bone disease negatively influences quality of life. Orthopaedic surgeons are often faced with deciding whether to prophylactically stabilize an impending fracture, and it is unclear if prophylactic fixation increases the likelihood of survival.
    Questions/purposes: Is prophylactic femur stabilization in patients with metastatic disease associated with different overall survival than fixation of a complete pathologic fracture?
    Methods: We performed a retrospective, comparative study using the national Veterans Administration database. All patient records from September 30, 2010 to October 1, 2015 were queried. Only nonarthroplasty procedures were included. The final study sample included 950 patients (94% males); 362 (38%) received prophylactic stabilization of a femoral lesion, and 588 patients (62%) underwent fixation of a pathologic femur fracture. Mean followup duration was 2 years (range, 0-7 years). We created prophylactic stabilization and pathologic fracture fixation groups for comparison using Common Procedural Terminology and ICD-9 codes. The primary endpoint of the analysis was overall survival. Univariate survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; between-group differences were compared using the log-rank test. Covariate data were used to create a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model for survival to adjust for confounders in the two groups, including Gagne comorbidity score and cancer type.
    Results: After adjusting for comorbidities and cancer type, we found that patients treated with prophylactic stabilization had a lower risk of death than did patients treated for pathologic femur fracture (hazard ratio = 0.75, 95% CI, 0.62-0.89; p = 0.002).
    Conclusions: In the national Veterans Administration database, we found greater overall survival between patients undergoing prophylactic stabilization of metastatic femoral lesions and those with fixation of complete pathologic fractures. We could not determine the cause of this association, and it is possible, if not likely, that patients treated for fracture had more aggressive disease causing the fracture than did those undergoing prophylactic stabilization. Currently, most orthopaedic surgeons who treat pathological fractures stabilize the fracture prophylactically when reasonable to do so. We may be improving survival in addition to preventing a pathological fracture; further study is needed to determine whether the association is cause-and-effect and whether additional efforts to identify and treat at-risk lesions improves patient outcomes.
    Level of evidence: Level III, therapeutic study.

    Abstract Background: Wound complications are common after resection of soft tissue sarcomas, with published infection rates ranging from 10% to 35%. Multiple studies have reported on the atypical flora comprising these infections, which are often polymicrobial and contain anaerobic bacteria, and recent studies have noted the high prevalence of anaerobic bacterial infections after soft tissue sarcoma resection [ 26, 35 ]. Based on this, our institution changed clinical practice to include an antibiotic with anaerobic coverage in addition to the standard first-generation cephalosporin for prophylaxis during soft tissue sarcoma resections. The current study was undertaken to evaluate whether this change was associated with a change in major wound complications, and if the change should therefore be adopted for future patients.
    Questions/purposes: (1) After controlling for potentially confounding variables, was the broadening of the prophylactic antibiotic spectrum to cover anaerobic bacteria associated with a lower odds of major wound complications after soft tissue sarcoma resection? (2) Was the broadening of the prophylactic antibiotic spectrum to cover anaerobic bacteria associated with a lower odds of surgical site infections with polymicrobial or anaerobic infections after soft tissue sarcoma resection? (3) What are the factors associated with major wound complications after soft tissue sarcoma resection?
    Methods: We retrospectively identified 623 patients who underwent soft tissue sarcoma resection at a single center between January 2008 and January 2021 using procedural terminology codes. Of these, four (0.6%) pediatric patients were excluded, as were five (0.8%) patients with atypical lipomatous tumors and two (0.3%) patients with primary bone tumors; 5% (33 of 623) who were lost to follow-up, leaving 579 for final analysis. The prophylactic antibiotic regimen given at the resection and whether a wound complication occurred were recorded. Patients received the augmented regimen based on whether they underwent resection after the change in practice in July 2018. A total of 497 patients received a standard antibiotic regimen (usually a first-generation cephalosporin), and 82 patients received an augmented regimen with anaerobic coverage (most often metronidazole). Of the 579 patients, 53% (307) were male (53% [264 of 497] in the standard regimen and 52% [43 of 82] in the augmented regimen), and the mean age was 59 ± 17 years (59 ± 17 and 60 ±17 years in the standard and augmented groups, respectively). Wound complications were defined as any of the following within 120 days of the initial resection: formal wound debridement in the operating room, other interventions such as percutaneous drain placement, readmission for intravenous antibiotics, or deep wound packing for more than 120 days from the resection. Patients were considered to have a surgical site infection if positive cultures resulted from deep tissue cultures taken intraoperatively at the time of debridement. The proportion of patients with major wound complications was 26% (150 of 579); it was 27% (136 of 497) and 17% (14 of 82) in the standard and augmented antibiotic cohorts, respectively (p = 0.049). With the numbers we had, we could not document that the addition of antibiotics with anaerobic coverage was associated with lower odds of anaerobic (4% versus 6%; p = 0.51) or polymicrobial infections (9% versus 14%; p = 0.25). Patient, tumor, and treatment (surgical, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy) variables were collected to evaluate factors associated with overall infection and anaerobic or polymicrobial infection. Patient follow-up was 120 days to capture early wound complications. A multivariable analysis was performed for all variables found to be significant in the univariate analysis. A p value < 0.05 was used as the threshold for statistical significance for all analyses. No patients were found to have an adverse reaction to the augmented regimen, including allergic reactions or Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile infection.
    Results: After controlling for other potentially confounding factors such as neoadjuvant radiation, tumor size and anatomic location, as well as patient BMI, anaerobic coverage was associated with smaller odds of wound complications (OR 0.36 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.18 to 0.68]; p = 0.003). Other factors associated with major wound complications were preoperative radiation (versus no preoperative radiation) (OR 2.66 [95% CI 1.72 to 4.15]; p < 0.001), increasing tumor size (OR 1.04 [95% CI 1.00 to 1.07]; p = 0.03), patient BMI (OR 1.07 [95% CI 1.04 to 1.11]; p < 0.001), and tumor in the distal upper extremity (versus proximal upper extremity, pelvis/groin/hip, and lower extremity) (OR 0.18 [95% CI 0.04 to 0.62]; p = 0.01).
    Conclusion: The addition of anaerobic coverage to the standard prophylactic regimen during soft tissue sarcoma resection demonstrated an association with smaller odds of major wound complications and no documented adverse reactions. Treating physicians should consider these findings but note that they are preliminary, and that further work is needed to replicate them in a more controlled study design such as a prospective trial.

    Abstract Background: The Vancouver classification of periprosthetic femur fractures divides B1 and B2 subtypes based on the stability of the femoral stem. However, this classification was described and validated with cemented femoral stems. We sought to assess reliability and validity of the Vancouver classification in patients with cementless femoral stems.
    Methods: This is a blinded radiographic study which included patients treated for Vancouver B cementless periprosthetic femur fractures between February 2007 and December 2017. Adult reconstruction-trained and trauma fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons graded all preoperative radiographs using the Vancouver classification on 3 separate occasions. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability was assessed via the Fleiss' kappa statistic. Validity was assessed via accuracy between radiographic and intraoperative assessments. The Landis and Koch criteria were used to interpret the kappa values.
    Results: Fifty-three patients with Vancouver B fractures (B1, 8; B2, 45) around a cementless femoral stem were included in the study. Five reconstruction-trained and 5 trauma-trained orthopedic surgeons graded all radiographs. The interobserver reliability kappa value was 0.45 (moderate agreement), with all raters agreeing on only 43% of radiographs. Validity analysis showed demonstrated 79% agreement. Overall, 20% (range, 14%-24%) of unstable B2 fractures were misread as B1 fractures. Intraobserver reliability was 0.71 between readings.
    Conclusion: The reliability of the Vancouver classification for cementless total hip arthroplasty is lower than previously described in cemented femoral stems. Radiographic assessment alone may be inadequate for determination of stability of cementless stems in periprosthetic femur fractures.
    Level of evidence: Level III therapeutic study: retrospective comparative study.

    Abstract This review summarizes the biomechanical concepts, clinical outcomes and limitations of compressive osseointegration fixation for endoprosthetic reconstruction. Compressive osseointe - gration establishes stable fixation and integration through a novel mechanism; a Belleville washer system within the spindle applies 400-800 PSI force at the boneimplant interface. Compressive osseointegration can be used whenever standard endoprosthetic reconstruction is indicated. However, its mode of fixation allows for a shorter spindle that is less limited by the length of remaining cortical bone. Most often compressive osseointegration is used in the distal femur, proximal femur, proximal tibia, and humerus but these devices have been customized for use in less traditional locations. Aseptic mechanical failure occurs earlier than with standard endoprosthetic reconstruction, most often within the first two years. Compressive osseointegration has repeatedly been proven to be non-inferior to standard endoprosthetic reconstruction in terms of aseptic mechanical failure. No demographic, device specific, oncologic variables have been found to be associated with increased risk of aseptic mechanical failure. While multiple radiographic parameters are used to assess for aseptic mechanical failure, no suitable method of evaluation exists. The underlying pathology associated with aseptic mechanical failure demonstrates avascular bone necrosis. This is in comparison to the bone hypertrophy and ingrowth at the boneprosthetic interface that seals the endosteal canal, preventing aseptic loosening.

    Abstract Introduction: A retrospective review was performed for patients in the Veterans Administration Healthcare System who underwent prophylactic stabilization of the femur for metastatic disease. The goal was to evaluate indications for prophylactic stabilization through Mirels criteria.
    Methods: All veterans who underwent inpatient prophylactic femoral stabilization between October 2010 and September 2015 were identified. Procedure and demographic variables were collected by using chart review. Provider notes and radiographs were reviewed to calculate Mirels scores.
    Results: Ninety-two patients underwent confirmed prophylactic stabilization for metastatic bone disease. Lung cancer and multiple myeloma accounted for most lesions. The mean Mirels score was 10.3 (range 7 to 12). 3.2% of patients had a score of 7, and 6.5% had a score of 8. Most lesions were peritrochanteric (66%) and lytic (85%). There was more variability in size (mean 2.3), with 15% being under one third of bony width and 38% between one and two-thirds. The mean pain score was 2.5; 73% reported functional pain. Of lytic and peritrochanteric lesions (53% of all cases), 55% were less than two-thirds the cortical width and 31% lacked functional pain.
    Conclusion: This retrospective study of prophylactically stabilized metastatic lesions revealed that more than 90% of patients had Mirels scores greater than 8, suggesting a substantial risk of pathologic fracture. Over half of all stabilized lesions were peritrochanteric and lytic. These criteria alone achieve a minimum Mirels score of 8; however, one-third of these lacked functional pain. Notably, Mirels' original paper found location and type criteria to be the least predictive of impending fracture. Contrariwise, functional pain was the most accurate predictor. Multiple studies have found poor specificity of the Mirels criteria. The high scores achievable by the location and type criteria may represent an overrepresentation of their contribution to fracture risk. Reconsideration of the relative weights of each criterion warrants further examination.
