Abstract Background The objectives of this study were to assess radiolucent lines around a highly porous titanium cup (Tritanium) using digital tomosynthesis and to investigate the clinical and radiographic factors associated with radiolucent lines on tomosynthesis. Methods Fifty-five patients underwent total hip arthroplasty using a Tritanium cup, and digital tomosynthesis and plain radiography were performed at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. The radiolucent lines around the cup were measured on both DTS and plain radiography at each postoperative period. Clinical evaluations were performed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip disease evaluation questionnaire (JHEQ), and revision surgeries were examined. Based on the presence of radiolucent lines on digital tomosynthesis at 2 years postoperatively, patients were divided into RL (+) and RL (−) groups and investigated for related factors. Results There were 20 cases in the RL (+) group and 35 cases in the RL (−) group, and no revision surgeries were required. Statistically, there were more cases with radiolucent lines on digital tomosynthesis (45.4% at 1 week and 36.3% at 2 years) than on plain radiography (9.1% at 1 week and 9.1% at 2 years) at each postoperative point. Logistic analysis showed no significant associations between the presence of radiolucent lines at 2 years on digital tomosynthesis, and the JHEQ parameters of pain (p = 0.937), movement (p = 0.266), or mental status (p = 0.404). Conclusion In a short-term evaluation up to 2 years, digital tomosynthesis detected more radiolucent lines around the titanium cups than plain radiography. The occurrence of radiolucent lines was not related to the postoperative clinical evaluation.

Introduction: Additive-manufacturing technologies are increasingly being used, not only to create acetabular components with porous coating architecture very similar to the complex trabecular structure of cancellous bone, but also for producing the entire implant in a single step. The aim of this study is to assess two-year clinical and radiological outcomes of a new additive-manufactured cup in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Materials and Methods: We reviewed 266 primary THAs (254 patients) performed in our institution between December 2016 and December 2018 using a new highly porous titanium acetabulum shell fabricated via additive manufacturing. Clinical and functional outcomes were measured using SF/VR-12 and HOOS JR to determine patient satisfaction with surgery. Radiographs were assessed to determine the presence of migration, radiolucency, and loosening. Patients records were reviewed to assess cup survivorship in terms of all-cause revisions and revision for aseptic cup loosening. Results: At a minimum of two-year follow up (range: 2–3.45 years), the patient cohort demonstrated significant improvement in postoperative functional scores (hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score for joint replacement [HOOS JR.] and clinical scores (12-item short-form health survey [SF/VR-12]) (p<0.001). One cup developed progressive radiolucent lines at the prosthesis-bone interface consistent with loosening and was revised. The overall acetabular component two-year survivorship free of all-cause failure was 97.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 95.5–99.4%). When aseptic loosening of the acetabular component was used as the failure endpoint, the two-years survivorship rate was 99.6% (95% CI: 98.9–100%). Conclusion: Highly porous titanium cementless acetabular cups produced via additive-manufacturing showed promising early clinical and radiological results in primary THA with low rates of aseptic loosening. Further follow-up studies are needed to assess the long-term survivorship and outcomes of this new acetabular component.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty combined with the concept of enhanced recovery is of continued worldwide interest, as it is reported to improve early functional outcome and treatment quality without increasing complications. The aim of the study was to investigate functional outcome and quality of life 4 weeks and 12 months after cementless total hip arthroplasty in combination with an enhanced recovery concept. Methods: A total of 109 patients underwent primary cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in an enhanced recovery concept and were retrospectively analyzed. After 4 weeks and 12 months, clinical examination was analyzed regarding function, pain and satisfaction; results were evaluated using Harris Hip score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS and subjective patient-related outcome measures (PROMs). Preoperatively, HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) was collected. A correlation analysis of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), HADS and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, art. hypertension, cardiovascular disease) with WOMAC, Harris Hip score (HHS) and EQ-5D was performed. Results: Patients showed a significant improvement in Harris Hip score 4 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). WOMAC total score, subscale pain, subscale stiffness and subscale function improved significantly from preoperative to 12 months postoperative (p < 0.001). EQ-5D showed a significant improvement preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.001). The influence of anxiety or depression (HADS-A or HADS-D) on functional outcome could not be determined. There was a high patient satisfaction postoperatively, and almost 100% of patients would choose enhanced recovery surgery again. Conclusion: Cementless THA with the concept of enhanced recovery improves early clinical function and quality of life. PROMs showed a continuous improvement over a follow-up of 12 months after surgery. PROMs can help patients and surgeons to modify expectations and improve patient satisfaction.
