Introduction: In the revision setting, intrapelvic acetabular components provide a unique set of challenges for the treating surgeon. Retrieval is complicated by complex anatomical relationships within the pelvis and historically, surgeons have used multiple approaches to safely retrieve the cup. Case presentation: We present the case of a 53-year-old female with intrapelvic migration of the acetabular components of her total hip arthroplasty. Patient was treated through a novel, single incision approach with utilisation of an anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) osteotomy. Results: An AIIS osteotomy allows for improved visualisation within the pelvis and safe retrieval through a single exposure without compromising the ability to perform definitive, revision reconstruction. At 1-year follow-up, the patient has had no complications related to infection or failure of the implants. Ambulation is performed with the aid of a cane in the community with mild, occasional pain.

Aims We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented acetabular components and assess whether any radiolucent lines (RLLs) which arose were progressive. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 170 patients who underwent 187 total hip arthroplasties at two hospitals with a minimum follow-up of ten years. All interventions were performed using the same combination of HXLPE cemented acetabular components with femoral stems made of titanium alloy. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed for the primary endpoint of acetabular component revision surgery for any reason and secondary endpoint of the appearance of RLLs. RLLs that had appeared once were observed over time. We statistically assessed potential relationships between RLLs and a number of factors, including the technique of femoral head autografting and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score. Results The mean follow-up period was 13.0 years (10.0 to 16.3). Femoral head autografting was performed on 135 hips (72.2%). One acetabular component was retrieved because of deep infection. No revision was performed for the aseptic acetabular loosening. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve for the primary and secondary endpoints were 98.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 88.6% to 99.8%) and 79.3% (95% CI 72.8% to 84.6%), respectively. RLLs were detected in 38 hips (21.2%), at a mean of 1.7 years (1 month to 6 years) postoperatively. None of the RLLs were progressive, and the presence of RLLs did not show a significant association with the survival and clinical score. RLLs were more frequently observed in hips without femoral head autografts than in those with autografts. Conclusion The use of HXLPE cemented acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes after ten years, and no RLLs were progressive, and their presence did not affect the outcome. Femoral head autografting did not negatively impact the acetabular component survival or the appearance of RLLs. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(10):1604–1610.

In ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA), modular acetabular component with a sandwich insertion was developed and evaluated mid-term clinical results. 35 hips had undergone cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA with sandwich cup (Kyocera, Kyoto, Japan). The mean duration of follow-up was 5 years. 6 hips had undergone component revisions. The reasons for revision included infection in 1 hip, dislocation with loosening in 2 hips, alumina liner fractures in 2 hips, and cup dissociation in 1 hip. All femoral and acetabular components showed no loosening in the unrevised hips at the time of the last follow-up. None of the 29 unrevised hips had osteolysis.

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.

Aims We present the clinical and radiological results at a minimum follow-up of 20 years using a second-generation uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). These results are compared to our previously published results using a first-generation hip arthroplasty followed for 20 years. Methods A total of 62 uncemented THAs in 60 patients were performed between 1993 and 1994. The titanium femoral component used in all cases was a Taperloc with a reduced distal stem. The acetabular component was a fully porous coated threaded hemispheric titanium shell (T-Tap ST). The outcome of every femoral and acetabular component with regard to retention or revision was determined for all 62 THAs. Complete clinical follow-up at a minimum of 20 years was obtained on every living patient. Radiological follow-up was obtained on all but one. Results Two femoral components (3.2%) required revision. One stem was revised secondary to a periprosthetic fracture one year postoperatively and one was revised for late sepsis. No femoral component was revised for aseptic loosening. Six acetabular components had required revision, five for aseptic loosening. One additional acetabular component was revised for sepsis. Radiologically, all femoral components remained well fixed. One acetabular was judged loose by radiological criteria. The mean Harris Hip Score improved from 46 points (30 to 67) preoperatively to 89 points (78 to 100) at final follow-up. With revision for aseptic loosening as the endpoint, survival of the acetabular component was 95% (95% confidence interval (CI) 90 to 98) at 25 years. Femoral component survival was 100%. Conclusion The most significant finding of this report was the low prevalence of aseptic loosening and revision of the femoral component at a mean follow-up of 22 years. A second important finding was the survival of over 90% of the hemispheric threaded ring acetabular components. While these shells remain controversial, in this series they performed well.

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.
