Objective To compare the long-term survivorship and Harris hip scores (HHSs) between cemented total hip arthroplasty (CTHA) and uncemented total hip arthroplasty (UTHA) for treatment of acute femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Methods Data of 224 hips (CTHA, n = 112; UTHA, n = 112) that underwent primary surgery in our medical institution from 2005 to 2017 were retrospectively analysed. The primary endpoint was the risk of all-cause revision. The difference in the risk of all-cause revision between the two groups was assessed by Kaplan–Meier survival analysis with a log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. Results The mean postoperative follow-up was 10 years (range, 3–13 years). The Kaplan–Meier estimated 10-year implant survival rate was significantly higher in the CTHA than UTHA group (98.1% vs. 96.2%, respectively). The adjusted Cox regression analysis demonstrated a significantly lower risk of revision in the CTHA than UTHA group. At the final follow-up, the mean HHS was significantly higher in the CTHA than UTHA group (85.10 vs. 79.11, respectively). Conclusion This retrospective analysis demonstrated that CTHA provided higher survival, lower revision risk, and higher functional outcome scores than UTHA. Further follow-up is necessary to verify whether these advantages of CTHA persist over time.

Abstract Background Despite the increased use of uncemented total hip arthroplasty (UTHA), there is little evidence of its superiority over cemented total hip arthroplasty (CTHA). The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term survivorship and Harris Hip Scores (HHSs) of CTHA versus UTHA in the treatment of acute femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Methods Data involving 224 hips (CTHA, n= 112; UTHA, n=112) that underwent primary surgery in our medical institutions during 2005-2017 were analysed retrospectively. The primary endpoint was the risk of all-cause revision. The difference in the risk of all-cause revision between groups was assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with a log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. Results The mean follow-up from surgery was 10 years (range, 3 - 13 years). Kaplan-Meier estimated that the 10-year implant survival was 98.1% (CI: 96.1–98.5) in the CTHA group and 96.2% (CI: 95.2–97.3) in the UTHA group (p = 0.030). The adjusted Cox regression analysis demonstrated a lower risk of revision in CTHA than in UTHA (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-2.6, p = 0.000). At the final follow-up, significant differences were detected in HHS (85.10[±12.21] for CTHA vs. 79.11[±13.19] for UTHA). Conclusion This retrospective analysis demonstrates that CTHA has superior survival to UTHA, with a significantly reduced revision risk and higher functional outcome scores. Further follow-up is necessary to verify whether the CTHA advantage persists over time.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic results of 28-mm ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) to those of 32-mm CoC during a 5- to 15-year follow-up period. Methods: 107 joints (95 women and 6 men) underwent 28-mm CoC, and 60 (49 women and 7 men) underwent 32-mm CoC. The average patient age at the time of surgery was 56.1 and 55.7 years in the 28-mm and 32-mm CoC groups, respectively. Clinical and radiologic measurements of all patients were analysed. Results: The mean preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) was similar in the 2 groups (28-mm, 58.9; and 32-mm, 58.5). However, at final follow-up, the mean HHS of the 32-mm CoC (91.8) was significantly better than that of the 28-mm CoC (88.2) ( p = 0.003), as were the ranges of motion (ROM) for flexion (98.3 ± 13.5° vs. 87.3 ± 19.3°, p < 0.001) and abduction (27.8 ± 14.9° vs. 22.1 ± 19.3°, p = 0.007). The mean wear rate was 0.0044 mm/year for the 28-mm CoC and 0.0044 mm/year for the 32-mm CoC. No ceramic fractures were found in the 2 groups. One joint in the 28-mm CoC (0.9%) required revision owing to progressive osteolysis. Kaplan-Meier survival at 10 years, with implant loosening or revision THA as the endpoint, was 98.3% for 28-mm CoC and 100% for 32-mm CoC ( p = 0.465). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in ceramic-related complications between the 2 groups. Our study demonstrated that the 32-mm and 28-mm CoC are safe and are associated with good clinical outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of ankylosed hip. Methods: Twenty-nine consecutive THAs were performed in 26 patients. The mean age of the patients at the time of the operation was 43.3 years (range, 19–69 years). We used cementless fixation in all hips and the mean duration of follow-up was 10.1 years (range, 4.5–20 years). Radiological evaluation of components, osteolysis, radiolucent lines and loosening were assessed. The Harris Hip Score (HHS), range of motion (ROM), limb-length discrepancy and walking capacity with or without any support were used preoperatively and at final follow-up for clinical evaluation. Survivorship analysis was conducted using the Kaplan–Meier method using second revision for any reason as the endpoint. Results: The mean HHS was 85.6 (range, 55–98) points and mean ROM was 110.5° for flexion. The mean limb-length discrepancy improved from 4.1 cm to 1.1 cm. Positive Trendelenburg sign was recorded in 31% of the patients and 24% of patients needed any support for walking postoperatively. We observed surgical complications related to abductor arm in 25% of the patients. Radiolucency on the acetabular side was seen on one or more zones in 15 patients (16 hips). One aseptic acetabular component loosening was observed. On the femoral side, 11 patients demonstrated non-progressive radiolucent lines and osteolysis around the stem was seen in four hips but there was no aseptic stem loosening. The Kaplan–Meier survival rate considering revision for any reason as the endpoint was 81.5%, for aseptic loosening 91.3%, for a worst-case scenario of 66.4% at 10 years. Conclusion: Cementless fixation showed good to excellent results at 10 years. Preoperative and postoperative abductor status of the patient is critical for patient satisfaction.

Background This study presents the long-term results of the Cementless Spotorno (CLS) total hip arthroplasty system and an analysis of factors associated with clinical and radiographic outcome. Methods We studied a series of 120 consecutive CLS arthroplasties in a young patient group (mean age at surgery: 55.9 ± 5.9 years). The Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score, polyethylene (PE) wear, and radiographic status were recorded during follow-up. Survival analyses, repeated-measures analysis of variance, and a nested case-control study were used for statistical evaluation. Results After a mean follow-up of 14.6 years (range 0.1-24.2 years, including revisions and lost to follow-up), 24 revisions had been performed, 16 of which for aseptic cup loosening. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a 24-year survival of 72.8% (95% CI, 63.0%-82.6%) with revision for any reason as endpoint, and 80.1% (95% CI, 70.9%-89.3%) for revision for aseptic cup loosening. Mean final Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score was 16.1 points (range 7-18). Mean PE wear at final follow-up was 2.3 mm (range 0.6-6.8 mm). A higher rate of PE wear was associated with better clinical scores but also with revision for cup loosening. Factors associated with more PE wear were: younger age at surgery; 32 - mm head; longer follow-up; and steeper inclination angle. Conclusions Beyond 10 years, the CLS stem is reliable, but the high revision rate for aseptic cup loosening is concerning, specifically with better performing (cementless) alternatives available.

Abstract Purpose Highly cross-linked polyethylene has been introduced to decrease osteolysis secondary to polyethylene wear debris generation. However, few long-term data on revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using highly cross-linked polyethylene liners are available. The objective of this study was to determine long-term outcomes of a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner in revision THA. Materials & methods We evaluated 63 revision THAs performed in 63 patients using a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner between April 2000 and February 2005. Of these, nine died and four were lost to follow-up. Thus, the final study cohort consisted of 50 patients (50 hips), including 26 males and 24 females with a mean age of 53 years (range, 27–75 years). Mean follow-up was 11 years (range, 10–14 years). Results The mean Harris hip score improved from 44 points preoperatively to 85 points at the final follow-up. No radiographic evidence of osteolysis was found in any hip. The mean rate of polyethylene liner wear was 0.029 mm/year (range, 0.003 to 0.098 mm/year). A total of 5 hips (10%) required re-revision arthroplasty, including one cup loosening, one recurrent dislocation, and three deep infections. Kaplan-Meier survivorship with an end point of re-revision for any reason was 91.1% and for aseptic cup loosening was 97.9% at 11 years. Conclusion At a minimum of 10 years, the highly cross-linked polyethylene liners showed excellent clinical performance and implant survivorship, and were not associated with osteolysis in our patients with revision THAs.

Abstract Background Some propitious mid- and long-term studies had been reported for MoM bearings; however, most studies have addressed specific patient groups rather than younger, active patients, who probably represent the most suitable population for investigations on wear and osteolysis. The purpose of this study to evaluate the long-term results of second-generation metal-on-metal cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients aged <50 years. Methods From December 1997 to January 2004, primary THA using a metal-on-metal bearing cementless implant was performed in 63 patients (72 hips) aged <50 years. The mean follow-up duration was 18.6 (range, 15.9–22.1) years, and the mean age at initial operation was 39 (range, 22–49) years. Clinical results, complications, survivorship, osteolysis, and aseptic loosening were evaluated. Results The mean Harris hip score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index scores were improved from 57.8 (range, 28–69) points and 73.4 (range, 63–94) points preoperatively to 91.7 (range, 80–100) points and 25.5 points (range, 17–38) points, respectively, at the last follow-up. Osteolysis lesions were found in 12 hips (acetabulum, 6 and femur, 6). The notching occurred on the femoral stem neck occurred in 12 hips. The mean serum cobalt and chromium concentrations were 2.3 (range, 0.2–10.6) μg/L and 1.7 (range, 0.4–8.1) μg/L, respectively, at a mean follow-up of 12.7 years in 32 patients (50.1%). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship curve analysis with revision for any reason as the endpoint revealed that 93.1% survived at 18.6 years’ follow-up. Conclusions Second-generation metal-on-metal cementless THA was found to produce satisfactory clinical and radiographic results with a low revision rate for osteolysis and aseptic loosening in patients aged less than 50 years.

Introduction: The Chiari pelvic osteotomy (CPO) has been recommended as a salvage procedure to improve head coverage in case of hip joint incongruence in paediatric hip disease. In this study, we aimed to assess the long-term results of CPO for severe Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). Methods: A total of 39 patients who underwent a CPO at our department between 1995 and 2010 were prospectively followed both radiologically (Stulberg classification) and clinically (Harris Hip Score [HHS], conversion into total hip arthroplasty). In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 12 hips (12 patients, 3 girls, 8 left hips) treated by CPO for severe LCPD (Catterall grade 3 or 4) with hip joint incongruence. Mean follow-up was 14.0 (range 7.6–21.3) years. Results: Mean age at surgery was 10.2 (range 8.2–17.8) years. Additional femoral osteotomy was performed in 8 patients. A good radiological result (Stulberg I or II) was achieved in 2 patients, a fair result (Stulberg III) in 4 patients, and a poor outcome (Stulberg IV or V) in 6 patients. Mean postoperative HHS averaged 93 (range 65–100) points. An excellent functional outcome (HHS 90–100 points) was achieved in 9 patients. No patient underwent total hip arthroplasty during follow-up. Postoperative limb-length discrepancy was found in 3 patients. Conclusions: CPO for severe LCPD with hip joint incongruence resulted in good long-term clinical outcome in about ⅔ of our patients after a mean of 14 years. Our results suggest that CPO can still be considered as a salvage joint-conserving procedure in this selected group of younger patients.
