Summary Aim: Identification of typical patterns for fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in positron emission tomography (PET) to detect aseptic loosening of hip prosthesis (ace-tabular and/or femoral component) and prosthetic infection. Methods: 18 patients with painful hip prosthesis underwent PET using a dedicated full ring scanner after application of 200-300 MBq FDG. The interface between bone and surrounding soft tissue or bone as displayed on coronal slices was divided into 12 segments in accordance with the classifications of Delee and Gruen. FDG uptake in each of the segments was scored (0-3) by two independent observers. Intraoperative findings were regarded as the gold standard. Results: After surgical revision 14 acetabular components and 9 femoral components were found to be loose and prosthetic infection was present in 7 prostheses. Loosening of the acetabular component was correlated to enhanced uptake in the middle of the acetabular interface, while loosening of the femoral component was correlated to enhanced uptake in the proximal and middle segment of the lateral femoral interface and the proximal segment of the medial femoral interface. A similar pattern was found in prosthetic infection with high uptake along the middle portion of the lateral fe-moral interface. In 6 of 7 infected prostheses loosening of the acetabular and of the femoral component was present. Taking the typical uptake patterns as criteria for loosening and grade 3 uptake as an additional criterion for septic loosening the accuracy of PET imaging in the detection of loosening of the acetabular or the femoral component and of prosthetic infection was 72, 78 and 89%, respectively. Conclusion: This pilot study presents FDG-PET as a promising diagnostic tool for patients with painful hip prostheses. Its clinical value should be evaluated in a larger patient population.

AbstractIsolated polyethylene liner exchange (IPLE) is infrequently selected as a treatment approach for patients with primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prosthetic joint instability. Potential advantages of less immediate surgical morbidity, faster recovery, and lower procedural cost need to be measured against reoperation and re-revision risk. Few published studies have directly compared IPLE with combined tibial and femoral component revision to treat patients with primary TKA instability. After obtaining institutional review board (IRB) approval, we performed a retrospective comparison of 20 patients treated with IPLE and 126 patients treated with tibial and femoral component revisions at a single institution between 2011 and 2018. Patient demographic characteristics, medical comorbidities, time to initial revision TKA, and reoperation (90 days, <2 years, and >2 years) were assessed using paired Student's t-test or Fisher's exact test with a p-value <0.01 used to determine significance. Patients undergoing IPLE were more likely to undergo reoperation (60.0 vs. 17.5%, p = 0.001), component revision surgery (45.0 vs. 8.7%, p = 0.002), and component revision within 2 years (30.0 vs. 1.6%, p < 0.0001). Differences in 90-day reoperation (p = 0.14) and revision >2 years (p = 0.19) were not significant. Reoperation for instability (30.0 vs. 4.0%, p < 0.001) and infection (20.0 vs. 1.6%, p < 0.01) were both higher in the IPLE group. IPLE does not provide consistent benefits for patients undergoing TKA revision for instability. Considerations for lower immediate postoperative morbidity and cost need to be carefully measured against long-term consequences of reoperation, delayed component revision, and increased long-term costs of multiple surgical procedures. This is a level III, case–control study.

Introduction: Hip resurfacing remains a valid option in young male patients. The creation of the optimum cement mantle aids fixation of the femoral component. If the cement mantle is too thick the prosthesis can remain proud leading to early failure or if it penetrates too far into the femoral head, it may cause osteonecrosis. Method: 18 of 96 femoral heads collected from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were matched for their surface porosity. They were randomly allocated into 2 different cementing groups. Group 1 had the traditional bolus of cement technique, while group 2 had a modified cementing technique (swirl) where the inside of the femoral component was lined with an even layer of low viscosity cement. Results: The traditional bolus technique had significantly greater cement mantle thickness in 3 of 4 zones of penetration ( p = 0.002), greater and larger air bubble formation (6 of 9 in bolus technique vs. 1 in 9 in swirl technique, p = 0.05) and more incomplete cement mantles compared with the swirl technique. There was no relationship to femoral head porosity. Conclusion: The swirl technique should be used to cement the femoral component in hip resurfacing. Long-term clinical studies would conform if this translates into increased survivorship of the femoral component.

AbstractLoosening is considered as a main cause of implant failure in total knee replacement (TKR). Among the predictive signs of loosening, migration is the most investigated quantitative parameter. Several studies focused on the migration of the tibial component in TKR, while no reviews have been focused on the migration of the femoral component and its influence on patients’ clinical outcomes. The aim of this narrative review was (1) to provide information about of the influence of migration in femoral component of TKR prostheses, (2) to assess how migration may affect patient clinical outcomes and (3) to present alternative solution to the standard cobalt-chrome prostheses. A database search was performed on PubMed Central® according to the PRISMA guidelines for studies about Cobalt-Chrome femoral component migration in people that underwent primary TKR published until May 2020. Overall, 18 articles matched the selection criteria and were included in the study. Few studies investigated the femoral component through the migration, and no clear migration causes emerged. The Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis has been mostly used to assess the migration for prognostic predictions. An annual migration of 0.10 mm seems compatible with good long-term performance and good clinical and functional outcomes. An alternative solution to cobalt-chrome prostheses is represented by femoral component in PEEK material, although no clinical evaluations have been carried out on humans yet. Further studies are needed to investigate the migration of the femoral component in relation to clinical outcomes and material used.

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a remarkable achievement in biomedical science that enhances human life. However, human beings still suffer from knee-joint-related problems such as aseptic loosening caused by excessive wear between articular surfaces, stress-shielding of the bone by prosthesis, and soft tissue development in the interface of bone and implant due to inappropriate selection of TKR material. The choice of most suitable materials for the femoral component of TKR is a critical decision; therefore, in this research paper, a hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tactic is applied using the degree of membership (DoM) technique with a varied system, using the weighted sum method (WSM), the weighted product method (WPM), the weighted aggregated sum product assessment method (WASPAS), an evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), and a technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The weights of importance are assigned to different criteria by the equal weights method (EWM). Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is conducted to check the solidity of the projected tactic. The weights of importance are varied using the entropy weights technique (EWT) and the standard deviation method (SDM). The projected hybrid MCDM methodology is simple, reliable and valuable for a conflicting decision-making environment.
