To ensure potential long-term stability and survivorship for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing prostheses, implant migration would need to be minimised to encourage bone in-growth. This study uses the finite element method to investigate the effects of the surgical press-fit procedure on the bearing and interfacial contact mechanics, and on the initial stability of a metal-on-metal (MOM) hip resurfacing prosthesis. The finite element models simulated the press-fit procedure using different amounts of interference between the cup-bone (1–2mm). The resurfacing prosthesis was implanted anatomically into a 3-D bone model. Resultant hip joint loads were applied to the model through muscle and subtrochanteric forces. Results showed that increasing the friction and the interference between the cup and bone resulted in significant reductions in the relative micromotion between the cup and bone. This would ensure the immediate post-operative stability of the acetabular cup and provide adequate conditions for potential long-term bone in-growth and implant stability. The contact mechanics at the bearing surfaces, which has a large effect on tribological performance, was found to be little affected by changes at the cup-bone interface. These findings are consistent with the general satisfactory short and medium-term clinical results of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing prostheses. This study suggests that interference, friction and a mechanically sound bone structure are important parameters to promote implant stability and support.

Total hip replacements restore pain-free mobility to approximately 200,000 patients in the U.S. each year [1]. A typical hip system comprises a metal alloy stem, a femoral head (ceramic or metal alloy), and a polyethylene acetabular cup fit into a metal alloy backing. A modular press-fit Morse taper is commonly used to attach the femoral head to the stem. There are also more recent designs that incorporate a second interface at the neck-stem junction (Figure 1). Increased modularity in total hip replacement design allows the surgeon to intraoperatively preserve patient anatomy such as leg length and femoral anteversion and better balance the surrounding soft tissue for optimal biomechanics. However, modularity also increases the number of mechanical junctions and interfaces in the device which may lead to complications such as corrosion, wear, and fracture.

Abstract Introduction The most common cause of failure in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is aseptic loosening. Uncemented cup migration analysis by means of Einzel–Bild–Roentgen–Analyse (EBRA) has shown to be a good predictive indicator for early implant failure if the cup migrates more than 2 mm within 4 years after surgery. In this study, we performed a migration analysis of an uncemented peripheral self-locking (PSL) press-fit cup after 4 years follow-up. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed all patients who received a trident PSL press-fit cup at our department between 2004 and 2017. A total of 636 patients were identified. As inclusion criteria for radiological analysis, a minimum follow-up of 2 years was defined. We reviewed medical histories and performed radiological analysis using EBRA software. EBRA measurements and statistical investigations were performed by two independent investigators. Results A total of 149 cups in 146 patients (female 82; male 64) met our inclusion criteria. Mean age at surgery was 65 years (33–89). We found a significant improvement in the WOMAC score pre- to postoperative (p < 0.0001). EBRA migration analysis showed a mean total migration of 0.6 mm (0.0–8.2) over our follow-up period of 4 years. Of the investigated cups, 69.8% showed a migration rate smaller than 2 mm in the investigated follow-up. Conclusion The acetabular cup used in our study provides low migration at final follow-up. Therefore, a good long-term outcome can be expected for the PSL cup. Trial registration Trial registration number is 20181024-1875 and date of registration is 2018-10-24.
