Introduction: 3rd generation ceramic bearings were introduced in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the potential to have better mechanical strength and wear properties than their predecessors. At present, there are few studies looking at the long-term results of this latest generation of ceramic bearings. The purpose of our study was to investigate the long-term clinical and radiographic results of 3rd generation ceramic-on-ceramic THA and the incidence of ceramic specific complications such as squeaking and bearing surface fracture. Methods: The database of the senior author (J.D.W.) was reviewed. A total of 126 hip replacements performed in 108 patients (average age 39.6 years) with an average follow-up of 12.1 years (10-16 years) was identified. Clinical notes and plain radiographs were reviewed. To measure function, patients were contacted and an Oxford Hip Questionnaire was completed. Patients were also directly questioned about the presence of squeaking or any other sounds from the hip. Radiographs were evaluated for signs of wear, osteolysis, loosening and heterotopic ossification. The abduction angle of the acetabular component was measured. Results: The average Oxford Hip Score was 39.8 out of 48. Survivorship at 10 years was 94.6% (95% CI) with revision for any cause as the endpoint. There was 1 femoral head fracture, no osteolysis, no squeaking and no detectable wear. Conclusions: The good clinical and radiographic results for this series of patients are similar to other recent long-term studies looking at 3rd generation ceramic-on-ceramic THA. The results compare favourably with other bearing surfaces. The lack of osteolysis associated with this articulation is encouraging and may also make it a good choice for younger patients requiring total hip replacement.

Abstract Background: Revision total hip arthroplasty is frequently accompanied by bone loss. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mid- to long-term results of revision total hip arthroplasty for massive femoral bone loss using cementless modular, fluted, tapered stems.Methods: During the period of 2007 to 2015 at a single hospital, 34 hips (33 patients) underwent primary revision surgery with cementless modular, fluted, tapered stems due to massive bone loss, and patients with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) or tumours were excluded. The hips were revised with the LINK MP (Waldemar Link, Hamburg, Germany) prosthesis. Bone loss was categorized by the Paprosky classification for prosthesis loosening and Vancouver classification for peri-prosthetic fracture. All revision bearing surfaces were ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC). Clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes and survivorship were evaluated.Results: The mean follow-up was 9.1±2.5 years (range, 5-13 years). The Harris hip score was 43.6±11.5 preoperatively and maintained at 86.5±6.6 at the time of latest follow-up (p<0. 05). The X-ray showed bone ingrowth fixation in 30 hips (88%), fibrous stable fixation in 3 hips (9%) and instability in 1 hip (3%). The average stem subsidence was 3.9±2.2 mm (range, 1 to 10 mm). The survivorship of prostheses with re-revision for any reason was 95% (95% CI, 12.0 to 13.0) at the 10-year follow-up. Three (9%) re-revisions were needed, including 1 for aseptic loosening, 1 for dislocation and 1 for infection.Conclusions: The mid- to long-term results of revision total hip arthroplasty with the cementless modular, fluted, tapered stem (LINK MP stem) are encouraging for massive femoral bone loss.

AimsWe investigated the long-term performance of the Tripolar Trident acetabular component used for recurrent dislocation in revision total hip arthroplasty. We assessed: 1) rate of re-dislocation; 2) incidence of complications requiring re-operation; and 3) Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) pain and functional scores.Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively identified 111 patients who had 113 revision tripolar constrained liners between 1994 and 2008. All patients had undergone revision hip arthroplasty before the constrained liner was used: 13 after the first revision, 17 after the second, 38 after the third, and 45 after more than three revisions. A total of 75 hips (73 patients) were treated with Tripolar liners due to recurrent instability with abductor deficiency, In addition, six patients had associated cerebral palsy, four had poliomyelitis, two had multiple sclerosis, two had spina bifida, two had spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, one had previous reversal of an arthrodesis, and 21 had proximal femoral replacements. The mean age of patients at time of Tripolar insertions was 72 years (53 to 89); there were 69 female patients (two bilateral) and 42 male patients. All patients were followed up for a mean of 15 years (10 to 24). Overall, 55 patients (57 hips) died between April 2011 and February 2018, at a mean of 167 months (122 to 217) following their tripolar liner implantation. We extracted demographics, implant data, rate of dislocations, and incidence of other complications.ResultsAt ten years, the Kaplan–Meier survivorship for dislocation was 95.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 90 to 98), with 101 patients at risk. At 20 years, the survivorship for dislocation was 90.6% (95% CI 81.0 to 95.5), with one patient at risk. Eight patients (7.2%) had a dislocation of their constrained liners. At ten years, the survival to any event was 89.4% (95% CI 82 to 93.8), with 96 patients at risk. At 20 years, the survival to any event was 82.5% (95% CI 71.9 to 89.3), with one patient at risk. Five hips (4.4%) had deep infection. Two patients (1.8%) developed dissociated constraining rings with pain but without dislocation, which required re-operation. Two patients (1.8%) had periprosthetic femoral fractures, without dislocation, that were treated by revision stems along with exchange of the well-functioning constrained liners.ConclusionConstrained tripolar liners used at revision hip arthroplasty provided favourable results in the long term for treatment of recurrent dislocation and for patients at high risk of dislocation.
