The main questions to be answered are:1. What is the frequency of ATTR deposits in samples retrieved during surgery?2. What is the frequency of cardiac involvement in ATTR positive patients?3. What are the preoperative predictors of ATTR deposits? Participants will   * have operative samples stained by Congo red in search of amyloid, which will be typed by immunochemistry in positive samples,   * undergo a multimodal imaging search for cardiac involvement, if ATTR is identified,   * undergo a preoperative complete clinical examination, including collection of medical history, ECG, biochemical tests, and imaging (ultrasound scans of rotator cuff and hip capsule in all participating patients, of the carpal tunnel in patients operated at this site, and MRI + standing profile radiography of the lumbar spine, in patients operated for lumbar stenosis)   * ATTR positive patients will be proposed to be followed-up by a reference center, with the aim of an early diagnosis of cardiac involvement, allowing efficient mamagement.Researchers will assess the frequency of ATTR deposits at each operated site, the frequency or ATTR cardiopathy in ATTR + patients, and will compare demographic, clinical, biochemical, and imaging features in patients with and without ATTR deposits, to guide the indications of pathological examination during these frequent orthopedic surgeries, conditionsModule conditions: ATTR Amyloidosis, conditions: Cardiopathy, conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, conditions: Lumbar Spine Stenosis, conditions: Hip Prosthesis, conditions: Knee Prosthesis, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: CASE_CONTROL, timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL, enrollmentInfo count: 150, type: ESTIMATED, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: frequency of ATTR amyloidosis, secondaryOutcomes measure: presence of ATTR cardiopathy, secondaryOutcomes measure: proportion of wild type and hereditary ATTR, secondaryOutcomes measure: Description of preoperative predictors of ATTR, secondaryOutcomes measure: Description of preoperative predictors of ATTR, secondaryOutcomes measure: preoperative predictors of ATTR, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 50 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Mutualist Montsouris Institute, status: RECRUITING, city: Paris, zip: 75014, country: France, contacts name: Thomas M Bardin, Pr, role: CONTACT, phone: +33 156616263, email: thomas.bardin@imm.fr, geoPoint lat: 48.85341, lon: 2.3488, hasResults: False
