AbstractThe main aim of this article was to assess a large, multisurgeon dataset of cemented total hip arthroplasties that had been templated using software. This assessment compared preoperative templated predictions with what was implanted with regard to (1) femoral prosthesis size, (2) offset, and (3) acetabular cup size. A database of total hip arthroplasties performed by four surgeons between the dates November 7, 2014 and October 31, 2017 was interrogated. The data was refined so that only primary cemented collarless polished tapered stem hip arthroplasties, fully templated on a correctly calibrated pelvic radiograph, were included. This provided 354 cases. The predicted software template was compared with actual implanted component sizes. With regard to the femoral stem, the software was exactly correct in 70.9% and accurate to within one size in 96.89% of cases. With regard to the femoral offset, the software was exactly correct in 87.01% and accurate to within one size in 99.72% of cases. With regard to the acetabular cup size, the software was exactly correct in 61.3% and accurate to within +/− 2 mm in 87.29% of cases. Templating software offers an accurate prediction of the femoral prosthesis size and offset, as well as acetabular cup size. Preoperative insight into likely component sizes and offset provides the operating surgeon with many benefits; templating the pelvic radiograph is a method of cognitive rehearsal, provides insight into potentially challenging aspects of the upcoming surgery, may highlight intraoperative issues where there is a large intraoperative deviation from what is templated, and enables efficient stock keeping for the healthcare institution.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess a large, single-surgeon dataset of uncemented total hip arthroplasties that had been templated using software. This assessment compared preoperative templated predictions with what was implanted with regard to (1) femoral prosthesis size and (2) acetabular cup size. The operation notes for two types of uncemented total hip arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon between January 9, 2008, and March 21, 2019, were assessed. The data were refined so that only those that were fully templated on a correctly calibrated pelvic radiograph were included. This provided a total of 153 cases. The predicted software template was compared with actual implanted component sizes. With regard to the femoral stems, the templating software was exactly correct in 45.75% of cases and was accurate to within one size in 87.59% of cases. With regard to the acetabular component, the templating software was exactly correct in 52.94% of cases and was accurate to within one size (2 mm) in 86.94% of cases. Templating software offers an accurate prediction of the size of uncemented femoral and acetabular components. In addition, the benefits of templating include cognitive rehearsal, insight into potentially challenging aspects of surgery, and highlighting intraoperative issues where there is a large intraoperative deviation from what is templated. This study demonstrates the congruence and reproducibility of templating software when compared with other smaller studies performed in the literature.

Materials analysis has been conducted on retrieved Mittelmeier-Autophor ceramic components from total hip arthroplasties, correlating articulating surface wear morphology with clinical reasons for failure. Plastically deformed, agglomerated wear debris (30–60 μm) has been identified on femoral head articulation wear surfaces, displaying exaggerated wear, especially during the initiation stage. Such surfaces were associated with clinical failures involving displacement of the acetabular cup and perforation of the cortex by the femoral stem, It is thought that this wear debris may play an important role in the promotion of the ‘avalanche’ wear mechanism, as it is adherent and thus difficult to remove from the wear interface

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to review retrospectively the primary total hip arthroplasties operated upon with the cementless Wagner Self-Locking stem in patients with type C femoral bone. Methods Twenty-eight total hip arthroplasties were performed in 25 patients aged ≥ 60 years using a cementless Wagner Self-Locking femoral component between 2006 and 2011. According to Dorr’s criteria, all 28 femora were classified as type C bone. All patients were treated with THA using a cementless Wagner cone prosthesis. Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed on all patients. Results Mean follow-up period was 125 ± 10.5 months (range 96 to 156 months). Average Harris hip score pre-operatively was 46 ± 9 (range 39 to 62) and at the last follow-up was 90 ± 9 (range 83 to 98). The stem to canal fill is calculated as percentages on the operative side at three distinct levels: just below the lesser trochanter, at midstem, and 1 cm above the tip of the component on anteroposterior radiograph. The mean proximal stem-to-canal fill percentages were 97% ± 2.1%, 95% ± 3.5%, and 88% ± 2.6%, respectively (anteroposterior view) and 92% ± 2.2%, 86% ± 1.9%, and 83% ± 2.5%, respectively (lateral view). Radiographic evaluation demonstrated good osteointegration of the implants in the follow-up. Conclusions Based on the long-straight cylindrical tapered stem design, the cementless Wagner SL stem can achieve reliable stability by close apposition of the stem and wide stovepipe femoral canal from metaphysis to diaphysis in type C bone.

Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

We reviewed fifteen primary total hip replacements performed using the uncemented, non-porous coated press-fit AcSys Shearer Cup. A modular titanium straight femoral stem with a 32mm head was used in all cases. The mean age of the group containing five males and 10 females was 66 years. Eight cups have been revised for aseptic loosening at a mean of seven years and the remaining four cups are radiologically loose. At revision surgery none of the cups showed any evidence of bony ingrowth. Our 10-year results with this cup indicate an unacceptably high failure rate of 80%. Absence of bony ingrowth and the lack of a secure locking mechanism between the polyethylene liner and the metal shell are the most important causes of failure. The use of a 32mm diameter head and implantation of the cup in an open position contributed to this failure. Even though this cup is no longer manufactured, our experience suggests that all non-porous coated cups should be closely followed up.

Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiological results, revision rates and causes, and the rate of implant survival in total hip arthroplasty performed using CLS® expansion cup and Spotorno® cementless femoral stem. Methods: Clinical results of total hip arthroplasty performed on 131 hips of 114 patients in Istanbul Training and Research Hospital between 1993 and 2003 were retrospectively evaluated according to the Harris Hip Score. Revision rates were determined and implant survival rates were identified using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: Of the patients, 39 were males and 75 were females. The average age of the patients at surgery was 48.7±11.3 years. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 13.9±2.4 years. The mean Harris Hip Score was 34.35±6.09 preoperatively and 88.20±7.11 at the final follow-up (p<0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate for the cup at 13.9 years, taking revision for any reason as the end point was 95.6% (95% CI), while the 15th and 17th year survival rates were 90% and 85%, respectively. Conclusion: In total hip arthroplasty using a cementless expansive acetabular cup, a 95.6% survival rate is achieved after an average of 14 years, whereas the rate decreases to 85% after 17 years. Even if the incidence of cup breakage is reduced with proper implantation, particle disease and periacetabular osteolysis remains a problem for the long-term survival. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.1.3089 How to cite this:Carkci E, Polat AE, Ozturkmen Y, Tuzuner T.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the clinical features and results of the revision total hip arthroplasties (THA) in patients with catastrophic failures and metallosis. Methods: Fifteen hips of 14 patients with catastrophic failure and metallosis in hip arthroplasties were evaluated. They were followed for at least 4.2 years after the revision THA. Clinical evaluation was performed using Harris hip score. Osteolysis, loosening or presence of metallosis was evaluated with standard radiographs. Metallosis was evaluated intraoperatively according to the metallosis severity classification. Results: The mean time from failure until revision surgery was 9.4 years. It was observed that in the primary THA, metal-on-ceramic (MoC), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-conventional polyethylene (MoCPE) bearings were used in 1, 3 and 11 hips, respectively. Grade III metallosis was observed in all patients during revision surgeries. The mean Harris hip score increased from 55 points before revision THA to 75 points at the final follow-up. In revision arthroplasty, MoCPE and CoC bearings were used in 13 and 2 hips, respectively. The femoral stem was replaced in 5 hips. All acetabular cups, except that of one hip, were revised. Conclusions: Revisions of THAs with catastrophic failures and metallosis are quite challenging. Routine follow-up of arthroplasty patients is beneficial to examine for osteolysis, loosening, and asymmetric wear.

Abstract Background: Accurate preoperative planning is an important step for accurate reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Presently, preoperative planning is completed using either a two-dimensional (2D) template or three-dimensional (3D) mimics software. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, AI HIP, a planning software based on AI technology can quickly and automatically identify acetabular and femur morphology, and automatically match the optimal prosthesis size. However, the accuracy and feasibility of its clinical application still needs to be further verified. The purposes of this study were to investigate the accuracy and time efficiency of AI HIP in preoperative planning for primary THA, compared with 3D mimics software and 2D digital template; and further analyze the factors that influence the accuracy of AI HIP.Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 53 consecutive patients (59 hips) undergoing primary THA with cementless prostheses in our department. All preoperative planning was completed using AI HIP as well as 3D mimics and 2D digital template. The predicted component size and the actual implantation results were compared to determine the accuracy. The templating time was compared to determine the efficiency. Furthermore, the potential factors influencing the accuracy of AI HIP were analyzed including sex, body mass index (BMI), and hip dysplasia.Results: The accuracy in predicting the acetabular cup and femoral stem was 74.58% and 71.19%, respectively, for AI HIP; 71.19% (P = 0.743) and 76.27% (P = 0.468), respectively, for 3D mimics; 40.68% (P < 0.001) and 49.15% (P = 0.021), respectively, for 2D digital templating. The templating time using AI HIP was 3.91±0.64 min, which was equivalent to 2D digital templates (2.96±0.48 min, P < 0.001), but shorter than 3D mimics (32.07±2.41 min, P < 0.001). Acetabular dysplasia(P = 0.021), rather than sex and BMI, was an influential factor in the accuracy of AI HIP templating. Compared to patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), the accuracy of acetabular cup in the non-DDH group was better (P = 0.021), but the difference in the accuracy of the femoral stem between the two groups was statistically insignificant (P = 0.062).Conclusion: AI HIP showed excellent reliability for component size in THA. Acetabular dysplasia may affect the accuracy of AI HIP templating.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a complex procedure due to associated anatomical abnormalities. We studied the extent to which preoperative digital templating is reliable when performing cementless THA in patients with DDH. Methods We templated and compared the pre- and postoperative sizes of the acetabular and femoral components and the center of rotation (COR), and analysed the postoperative cup coverage, leg length discrepancy (LLD), and stem alignment in 50 patients (56 hips) with DDH treated with THA. Results The implant size exactly matched the template size in 42.9% of cases for the acetabular component and in 38.2% of cases for the femoral component, whereas the templated ±1 size was used in 80.4 and 81.8% of cases for the acetabular and femoral components, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between templated and used component sizes among different DDH severity levels (acetabular cup: p = 0.30 under the Crowe classification and p = 0.94 under the Hartofilakidis classification; femoral stem: p = 0.98 and p = 0.74, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences between the planned and postoperative COR (p = 0.14 horizontally and p = 0.52 vertically). The median postoperative LLD was 7 (range 0–37) mm. Conclusion Digital preoperative templating is reliable in the planning of cementless THA in patients with DDH.

Dislocation Of The Hip

The surface finish of a femoral stem plays an important role in the longevity of cemented total hip arthroplasty. In efforts to decrease the rate of aseptic loosening, some prostheses have been designed to have a roughened surface that enhances bonding between the prosthesis and cement, but clinical outcomes remain controversial. We present a rare case of massive osteolysis with extreme femoral expansion that developed after cemented revision total hip arthroplasty. The destructive changes in the femur were attributable to abnormal motion of the stem and were aggravated by the roughened precoated surface of the long femoral component. Revision surgery using a total femur prosthesis was performed because there was insufficient remaining bone to fix the new prosthesis. The surgical technique involved wrapping polypropylene meshes around the prosthesis to create an insertion for the soft tissue, which proved useful for preventing muscular weakness and subsequent dislocation of the hip.
