Bearing-foreign material deposition onto a femoral head can occur from contact with an acetabular shell due to dislocation, reduction, or subluxation. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively characterize deposit regions on retrieved cobalt-chrome femoral heads from metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties that had experienced such adverse events. The morphology, topography, and composition of deposition regions were characterized using macrophotography, optical profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The deposit areas were relatively large, they were much rougher than the surrounding undamaged clean areas, and they displayed several distinct morphologies. Titanium alloy elements were the predominant constituents. Calcium and phosphorous were also detected within the deposit areas, in a composition that could nucleate abrasive hydroxyapatite. In addition, tungsten-rich particles, likely present as tungsten carbide, were observed on top of the titanium deposits. The increased roughness associated with these deposition features would be expected to accelerate damage and wear of the opposing liner and hence accelerate the development of osteolysis.

SummaryFemoral capital physeal fractures have been successfully repaired using 7.0 mm cannulated screws. The holding power of 7.0 mm cannulated screws was compared to the holding power of 5.5 mm cortical screws and 6.5 mm cancellous screws using paired bovine femoral heads. The 7.0 mm cannulated screw’s holding power was superior to the 6.5 mm cancellous screw and similar to that of the 5.5 mm cortical screw.When placed in the bovine femoral head, 7.0 mm cannulated screws have holding power greater than 6.5 mm cancellous screws and similar to 5.5 mm cortical screws.
