Six weeks post op:• Incision well-healed• ESR = 6• CRP = 2.2
![Page 12: Forty-Nine Year-Old Female With Subtrochanteric Nonunion Chris Estes, PGY 2 August 11, 2008 Adult Reconstruction Conference Mayo Clinic Phoenix, AZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649dfe5503460f94ae64bd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Literature review
• Corticosteroid use and:– Secondary osteoporosis– Relative risk of hip fractures– Impaired bone healing
• Role of rhBMP
• Retrospective review of subtrochanteric nonunions
![Page 13: Forty-Nine Year-Old Female With Subtrochanteric Nonunion Chris Estes, PGY 2 August 11, 2008 Adult Reconstruction Conference Mayo Clinic Phoenix, AZ](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649dfe5503460f94ae64bd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In vivo effect of Glucocorticoids• O’Brien & Jia. Endocrinology 2004, 2006.
• Transgenic mice were created in which cells of interest (osteoblasts or osteoclasts) expressed 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2
• This enzyme inactivates glucocorticoids
• Osteoblasts/cytes:• Glucocorticoids directly stimulate osteoblasts in
vivo triggering them to undergo apoptosis
• Osteoclasts:• Glucocorticoids directly stimulate osteoclasts in
vivo• Prolongs life span of osteoclasts

Corticosteroid Use & Hip Fx Risk
• Van Staa et al, 2000• Cohort study of 244,235 corticosteroid users and equal
number of controls• Relative risk of hip fracture was dose-dependent
– <2.5mg = RR of 0.99– 2.5-7.5mg = RR of 1.77– >7.5mg = RR of 2.27

Effect of Prednisone on Fracture Healing
• Waters, 2000• Rabbit ulnar osteotomy, n=18
• 0.15 mg/kg prednisone 2 mo prior to and 6 wks after bilateral ulnar osteotomy
• Union:• Prednisone: 3/20• Control: 13/16
• Osseous continuity across >25% cross section
• Torsional Stiffness:• Prednisone: 218 N-m/rad• Control: 567 N-m/rad
Bilateral ulnae of rabbit receiving Prednisone at six weeks
Bilateral ulnae of rabbit in control group at six weeks

Role of rhBMP• Luppen et al, 2002
– 49 mature rabbits• 26 received prednisolone (0.35
mg/kg qd) 6 weeks prior to and 6-8 weeks after bilateral ulnar osteotomy
• 23 controls• Each rabbit received unilateral local
rhBMP at time of fracture.
– Prednisolone group:• 0/26 reached radiographic union
– (vs. 8/23 controls)
– rhBMP-Treated Prednisolone group• 20/26 achieved radiographic union
– p=<0.001
• Callus area increased by 40% • 165% increase in torsional strength

Subtrochanteric Nonunions• Haidukewych & Berry. CORR 2004.
– Retrospective review of 23 consecutive subtroch nonunions
– Revision results:• 20/21 healed (95%)• Nonunion persisted in a 56 y/o smoker tx’d w/
blade plate and allograft
– Discussion:• This study was mostly a cohort of younger patients.
• Elderly w/ low physical demand w/ poor remaining bone stock inadequate for ORIF, multiple failed attempts at union or implant cut-out w/ resultant articular damage were (and are) treated with arthroplasty.
