The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the radiologic findings in clinically successful Charnley total hip replacements (THR) at an average of five years postoperatively (‘5-year follow-up’) and the clinical result 10 to 14 years after operation (‘10-year follow-up’). The study included 150 arthroplasties graded as clinically successful at the 5-year follow-up despite radiologic loosening of the femoral component in 41 per cent and of the acetabular component in 7 per cent. The incidence of clinical failure between the two follow-ups was 7 per cent (10 hips). Only 2 per cent (3/125) of THRs with intact components or a loose stem with migration not exceeding 4 mm became failures. Clinical failures resulted in 28 per cent (7/25) of THRs with more extensive loosening of the stem or with a loose socket. At the 10-year follow-up 47 per cent of the femoral and 13 per cent of the acetabular components were loose. Progression of loosening of the femoral stem occurred in 63 per cent and of the socket in 73 per cent between the two follow-ups. The incidence of loosening of the stem showed a significant correlation both with the extent of cementation distal to the tip and with the orientation of the prosthesis in the sagittal plane.

Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

Radiologic grading of non-cemented acetabular components in HP Garches total hip replacements was used to evaluate the relationship between a lack of supero-lateral cover of the acetabular component and clinical outcome. In 63 hips, three to five years after total hip arthroplasty, we observed that the acetabular component was partially uncovered in 56 per cent of cases. The fact that several components were partially uncovered did not influence the clinical outcome. Although the follow-up time is short the present study indicates that non-cemented HP Garches total hip arthroplasty is a technique which allows for stable fixation of the acetabular component.

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.

One reason why otherwise well-functioning total hip replacements have a finite service life is eventual aseptic loosening of the implants because of osteolysis induced by wear particles from the artificial bearing. Pain and osteolysis from wear debris can manifest even in the absence of aseptic loosening. Total hip replacements with ceramic-on-ceramic articulations have shown less wear both in vitro and in vivo. A randomized prospective clinical trial was conducted to compare the outcomes of ceramic-on-ceramic articulations to ceramic-on-polyethylene articulations. Two-year data are of interest because premature failures of ceramic femoral heads usually occur by this time interval. Of 500 patients enrolled in this trial, half received total hip replacements with alumina-on-alumina bearings, while the other half had ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings. At the two-year follow-up, 444 patients (217 study group and 227 control group) were available for review. The clinical and radiographic outcomes between the groups were comparable, and reflected the typical results of primary total hip replacements. No complications related to spontaneous failures of the ceramic bearings were observed at this early follow-up period. Further follow-up is needed to confirm these findings over the long-term, but the short-term safety of alumina ceramic bearings in hip replacements reported in other recent reports is further validated by our findings.

Purpose. To review cases of implantation of constraining acetabular components for unstable or recurrent dislocating total hip arthroplasty at the Department of Orthopaedics, Concord Hospital, Sydney. Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed on prospectively collected data of 13 consecutively enrolled patients. Results. From 1989 to 2000, 13 constraining acetabular components were implanted into 13 patients as a revision procedure. The surgical approach for the implantation of the constrained liner was posterolateral in 11 cases; a modified Hardinge approach was applied in 2 cases. The mean clinical follow-up duration was 43 months (range, 14–121 months) and the mean age at the time of surgery was 73 years (range, 52–84 years). No patients were lost to follow-up. Indications for using the constrained acetabular component were recurrent dislocation in revision hip replacements (n=8), and intra-operative instability (n=5). There were no episodes of dislocation of the constrained arthroplasty. In 7 cases, the constrained component was implanted into a previously well-fixed shell. Conclusion. We recommend the judicious use of the constrained component in cases of hip instability during or after total hip arthroplasty when other methods are not successful.

Abstract Background Concerns have been raised that implants used in total hip replacements (THR) could lead to a future increased cancer risk. Several different materials and metals are used in joint prosthesis, as well as different fixation techniques and types of articulation for the surface of the joint can lead to an increased escape of particles or ions into the human body. Methods Patients with THR registered in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register during 1987-2009 were linked to the Cancer registry of Norway. Patients with THR due to osteoarthritis, under the age of 75 at time of surgery, were included. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were applied to compare cancer risk for THR patients to the general population. Types of THR were divided into cemented (both components), uncemented (both components), and hybrid (cemented femoral and uncemented acetabular component). To account for selection mechanisms, time dependent covariates were applied in Cox-regression, adjusting for cancer risk the first 10 years after surgery. The analyses were adjusted for age, gender, and if the patient had additional THR-surgery in the same or the opposite hip. The study is according to the STROBE guidelines.Results When comparing patients with THR to the general population in Norway we found no differences in the risk. The overall SIR for the THR-patients after 10 years of follow-up was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.97-1.07). For cemented THR, the SIR after 10 years of follow-up was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.94-1.05), while it was 1.16 (95% CI: 1.02-1.30) for uncemented THRs, and 1.12 (95% CI: 0.91-1.33) for hybrid THRs. Adjusted Cox analyses showed that patients with uncemented THRs had an elevated risk of cancer (hazard ratio: HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.05-1.46, p=0.009) when compared to patients with cemented THRs after 10 years of follow-up. The risk for patients with hybrid THRs was not significantly increased (HR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.85-1.35, p=0.55) compared to patients with cemented THRs. Conclusions We found that receiving an uncemented THR was associated with a small increased risk of cancer, in particular prostate cancer for younger men.

Abstract Background: Concerns have been raised that implants used in total hip replacements (THR) could lead to increased cancer risk. Several different materials, metals and fixation techniques are used in joint prostheses and different types of articulation can cause an increased invasion of particles or ions into the human body. Methods: Patients with THR registered in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register during 1987-2009 were linked to the Cancer registry of Norway. Patients with THR due to osteoarthritis, under the age of 75 at time of surgery, were included. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were applied to compare cancer risk for THR patients to the general population. Types of THR were divided into cemented (both components), uncemented (both components), and hybrid (cemented femoral and uncemented acetabular components). To account for selection mechanisms, time dependent covariates were applied in Cox-regression, adjusting for cancer risk the first 10 years after surgery. The analyses were adjusted for age, gender and if the patient had additional THR-surgery in the same or the opposite hip. The study follows the STROBE guidelines.Results: Comparing patients with THR to the general population in Norway we found no differences in cancer risk. The overall SIR for the THR-patients after 10 years follow-up was 1.02 (95% CI: 0.97-1.07). For cemented THR, the SIR after 10 years follow-up was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.94-1.05), for uncemented, 1.16 (95% CI: 1.02-1.30), and for hybrid 1.12 (95% CI: 0.91-1.33). Adjusted Cox analyses showed that patients with uncemented THRs had an elevated risk for cancer (hazard ratio: HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.05-1.46, p=0.009) when compared to patients with cemented THRs after 10 years follow-up. Stratified by gender the increased risk was only present for men. The risk for patients with hybrid THRs was not significantly increased (HR=1.07, 95% CI: 0.85-1.35, p=0.55) compared to patients with cemented THRs.Conclusions: THR patients had no increased risk for cancer compared to the general population. We found, however, that receiving an uncemented THR was associated with a small increased risk for cancer compared to cemented THR in males, but that this may be prone to unmeasured confounding.
