Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic mid-term results of short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods: We reviewed 83 cases that underwent Metha stem between November 2010 and November 2012. The appearance of bone trabeculae development and radiolucent line were reviewed and HHS was recorded at 6 months postoperatively then yearly to evaluate the clinical results. Results: The mean age of patients was 43.8 years with the mean follow-up 69.3 (60–84) months. Harris Hip Score improved significantly from 44.7 preoperatively to 99.6 at the last follow-up ( p < 0.0001). There were 4 cases (4.8%) of intraoperative femoral fractures. There was 1 case (1.2%) of distal stem perforation that had stable bone ingrowth and there was 1 case (1.2%) of 5-mm subsidence, which was then stable at 3 months postoperatively. Bone trabecular development was detected at zone 1 (65.1%), 2 (69.9%), 3 (14.4%), 4 (1.2%), 6 (97.6%) and 7 (81.9%). There was 1 case (1.2%) where radiolucent lines were observed in zones 1 and 7. There was 1 femoral stem revision from periprosthetic fracture 4 years after index surgery and 1 cup revision from aseptic loosening. Kaplan-Meier survivorship with the end point of stem revision for any reason was 98.8% and for aseptic loosening it was 100% at 7 years. Conclusions: The mid-term clinical and radiographic results of the Metha stem in patients with ONFH were promising. Its design enables preservation of the bone stock and the bone trabeculae appear to confirm the assumption of proximal force transmission.

Abstract Background Short stems have constantly gained popularity in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the last decade. Although cementless short stems are not primarily designed to be used as revision implants, there may be certain indications for which downsizing the femoral component in failed conventional THA is potentially advantageous. Methods In this single center retrospective case series, six patients who underwent revision using a calcar-guided short stem after failed THA are presented. The mean follow-up was 3.32 years (SD 0.63 years). The health status was evaluated by the EQ-5D-5L score. Patient reported outcome measurements (PROM) were recorded using the Harris hip score (HHS) and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Pain and satisfaction were assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiographic analysis was performed by evaluating osteolysis, stress shielding, alignment and signs of aseptic loosening. Complications were documented. Results At last follow-up the mean EQ-5D-5L index was 0.851 (SD 0.098). Clinical outcome was excellent (HHS ≥ 90) in 4 patients and moderate (HHS 71 and 79) in 2 patients. The mean WOMAC score was 9.20% (SD 12.61%). Pain and satisfaction on VAS were 1.00 (SD 1.15) and 9.17 (SD 0.37), respectively. No major complications occurred. To date, no further revision surgery was needed. Radiologically, no signs of subsidence, aseptic loosening, stress shielding and fractures were obvious. Conclusion The present case series indicates that in failed conventional THA downsizing may be considered a treatment option, using short stem THA in selected cases.

The Mean

The aim of this study was to investigate the radiological and clinical outcome of the direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a collared cementless femoral short-stem. This retrospective study included 124 patients with 135 THAs operated from 2014 to 2016 using a collared cementless triple tapered hydroxyapatite-coated femoral short-stem (AMIStem H Collared®, Medacta International, Castel San Pietro, Switzerland) implanted with a DAA. Follow-up was performed at three months, 12 months, and five years. Clinical outcome was assessed using the hip osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) and radiological analysis was done using conventional radiographs, which included evaluation of the femur morphology based on Dorr classification, of radiolucencies based on the Gruen zone classification and of stem subsidence. The mean age was 67.7 ± 11.3 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.4 ± 4.4 kg/m2. The stem survival rate at five years was 99.1% with one revision due to recurrent dislocations. Mean HOOS score improved from 40.9 ± 18.3 preoperatively to 81.5 ± 19.7 at three months, 89.3 ± 10.9 at 12 months, and 89.0 ± 14.0 at five years (all with p < 0.001). No significant correlations were found between age, femoral bone morphology, BMI and HOOS, and the appearance of relevant radiolucencies.

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.

Abstract Introduction Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disabling condition that often results in secondary arthritis necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Short-stem THA has constantly gained popularity. It remains controversial, whether ONFH represents a risk factor for failure after the implantation of short stems with pronounced metaphyseal anchorage. The potential spread of the osteonecrotic area and bone marrow edema into the metaphyseal bone might result in compromised stability. Early implant migration is considered predictive of subsequent aseptic loosening. The purpose of this study was a migration analysis of a modern, calcar-guided short-stem implant in patients with ONFH in a mid-term follow-up. Materials and methods This retrospective analysis investigated the migration pattern of 45 calcar-guided short stems in patients with ONFH, using Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse Femoral-Component-Analysis (EBRA-FCA). Influencing factors such as ARCO categories, age, gender, body weight and BMI were analyzed. Complications and adverse events were documented. Results At mid-term [48.1 months (SD 20.7 months)], mean axial migration was 1.56 mm (SD 1.77 mm). Mean migration rate stabilized after 2 years. No influence of ARCO categories, age and BMI was found. A tendency of increased axial migration was observed in male patients and in overweight patients. No revision surgeries had to be performed during follow-up. Conclusion The results indicate a migration pattern comparable to that of primary osteoarthritis patients with slight initial migration under full load followed by subsequent stabilization in the metaphyseal femur. The 100% survival rate at mid-term supports the usage of this short-stem design in patients with ONFH.

Background: Single-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an alternative to staged unilateral THA in patients suffering from bilateral hip arthritis; however, there is still broad concern regarding the safety and reliability of this procedure. Short-stem THA has emerged in recent years. To date, no data are available on sports and recreational activity levels after single-stage bilateral short-stem THA in the general patient population. Hypothesis: Patients who have undergone single-stage bilateral short-stem THA return to a satisfying level of sports and recreational activity at midterm follow-up. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A total of 54 consecutive patients (108 hips) were prospectively included. Midterm follow-up was performed in 51 patients (94.4%). The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) were assessed clinically after a mean of 5.2 years. After a mean of 4.9 years, activity levels were assessed using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale via a questionnaire. Additionally, a detailed evaluation of sports behavior was conducted using an additional questionnaire. Pain and satisfaction with sporting ability were assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Complications and revisions were documented. Results: Patients had a mean WOMAC score of 98.0 (range, 60.0-100.0) and HHS score of 97.8 (range, 65.0-100.0) at final follow-up. The mean UCLA activity score was 4.7 (range, 2.0-10.0). An increasing number of patients were active in sports at follow-up compared with before surgery (76.5% vs 60.8%, respectively); 2 patients (3.9%) stopped participating in sports on a regular basis, and 10 (19.6%) commenced with sports after surgery. The most popular activities before surgery were cycling (31.4%), hiking (29.4%), swimming (21.6%), and fitness/weight training (15.7%). At follow-up, most patients were engaged in cycling (35.3%) and fitness/weight training (33.3%), followed by swimming (25.5%) and hiking (19.6%). The duration (hours per week) and frequency (times per week) of sporting activities remained stable. The mean VAS pain level during sports was 1.3 (range, 0.0-7.0). No revision surgery had to be performed. Conclusion: After single-stage bilateral short-stem THA, the study patients returned to satisfying levels of activity at midterm follow-up. Postoperatively, few patients were engaged in high-impact sports; however, more patients commenced with lower impact activities. Satisfaction with sporting abilities was high, and the complication rate in total was low.

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the follow-up results of bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for more than 10 years in patients aged < 60 years and to analyze the risk factors for acetabular erosion after BHA. Methods This retrospective study included 114 patients who underwent BHA were followed-up for at least 10 years. The mean age was 54.1 years, and the mean follow-up duration was 13.8 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of acetabular erosion, and the preoperative parameters were compared between the two groups. Moreover, the risk factors related to acetabular erosion after BHA were analyzed using statistical comparisons. Results Reoperation was performed in 44 of the 114 patients (38.6 %). The survival rate when the end point was reoperation related to acetabular erosion was found to be significantly time-dependent: 73.2 % at 5 years, 48.8 % at 10 years, and 25.9 % at 15 years. The acetabular erosion group showed significantly younger age at the time of surgery, higher body mass index (BMI), more avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and smaller prosthetic femoral head. The final multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that young age at the time of surgery were independent risk factors for acetabular erosion after BHA in patients aged < 60 years. Conclusions The minimum 10-year follow-up outcomes of BHA in patients aged < 60 years showed a relatively high conversion rate to total hip arthroplasty. When considering BHA in younger patients, more careful decisions should be made with respect to patient’s choice, keeping in mind that long-term survival cannot be guaranteed.

This study aimed to report the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with an extensive hydroxyapatite (HA) coating for the fixation of a tapered femoral stem (Corail) in patients aged 60 or younger than sixty years with stage IV, V và VI osteonecrosis of femoral head. Subject and method: Descriptive prospective research of ninety osteonecrotic hips in ninety patients were available for clinical and radiographic analyses at minimum follow-up of 5 years. Results and Conclusion: The mean Harris hip score improved from 43.74 ± 9,25points preoperatively to 96.67 ± 3.82points at final follow-up. Seventy-four (100%) hips demonstrated stable bone ingrowth. No hips showed acetabular or femoral osteolysis radiolucency and loosening, or required revision for aseptic loosening. We believe that cementless THA with a Corail stem is a promising procedure for patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Background: Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a significant challenge when there is severe femoral bone loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision THA in patients with femoral bone loss treated with Zweymüller SLR-Plus stem. Methods: A retrospective review of 82 patients who underwent revision THA using tapered rectangular femoral stem between 1997 and 2007 was undertaken. Of the 82 patients, 9 patients were lost to follow-up and were excluded from the study. The most common reason for revision was aseptic loosening (92%), periprosthetic femur fracture (5%), and infection (3%). Bone loss was categorised preoperatively according to the Paprosky classification. The mean clinical follow-up was 14 years (range 10–19 years). Their mean age at the time of index surgery was 54.7 ± 15.3 (range 30–82) years. Results: The mean Harris Hip Score was significantly improved at final follow-up (68.1 ±10.3) compared with that before the revision surgery (30.4 ± 7.7) ( p < 0.0001). Of the 75 stems, 69 (92%) stems were radiographically stable at the last evaluation. Among the 69 stems, 64 hips (85%) had radiographic evidence of bone ingrowth and 5 (5%) had stable fibrous fixation of the stem. Among the 7 hips that were re-revised, 5 hips were re-revised for aseptic loosening, whereas 2 were re-revised for an infection. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis, with removal of the stem for any cause as the endpoint, revealed that the 15-year rate of survival of the components was 90% (95% CI, 0.83–0.97). Conclusion: Revision THA in patients with proximal femoral bone loss using Zweymüller SLR-Plus stem led to a high rate of osseointegration of the stem and good clinical results at long-term follow-up.
