Background: Despite improvements in the mechanical properties of alumina ceramics, the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with contemporary ceramic bearings in young patients remains a matter of concern. We evaluated the results of cementless THA with the use of the delta ceramic bearing, and determined the prevalence of osteolysis, squeaking, and ceramic fracture in patients aged < 30 years at mid-term. Methods: From March 2008 to January 2012, 76 consecutive patients (91 hips), younger than 30 years, underwent cementless THA with Delta ceramic bearings. In each follow-up, the clinical evaluation including noise and radiological evaluations were recorded. Results: Among them, 72 patients (86 THAs) were followed-up for a minimum of 5 years (mean 70.8; 60−95.9 months). There were 44 men (47 hips) and 28 women (39 hips). The mean age at the time of the index arthroplasty was 25.9 (16−30) years and the mean preoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 59.4 (23−79) points. HHS improved to 96.3 (64−100) points at the final follow-up evaluation. 8 hips (9.3%) exhibited grinding or squeaking. No hip had aseptic loosening and no hip was revised. No osteolysis was detected around any acetabular or femoral components. Conclusions: Our results suggest that cementless THA with the use of Delta ceramic bearing provides satisfactory results without osteolysis or ceramic fracture in patients aged <30 years at a mid-term follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of young patients (under the age of 30) who received a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and in whom patients had been followed for more than 10 years. Materials and methods: This retrospective study was conducted for 51 hips (44 patients) that had undergone THA. The mean age for the index operation was 25.71 years, and the mean follow-up period was 13.7 years. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Harris hip score (HHS), activity level, and complications. Radiographic evaluations were assessed according to osteolysis, loosening, and polyethylene wear. Results: The average HHS improved from 67.47 pre-operatively to 97.42 at the final follow-up ( p < 0.001). The activity level changed from 1.92 pre-operatively to 1.33 at the final follow-up ( p < 0.001). Ten cases had undergone revision arthroplasty within the follow-up period, and the overall survival rate was 80.4% at the final follow-up with revision for any reason as the end point. Polyethylene liners were used in all revision cases ( p = 0.003). Patients with modular stem had a higher failure rate than patients with a fully porous coated stem ( p < 0.001). Furthermore, a small diameter head size was associated with a higher risk of revision surgery ( p = 0.003). Complications such as dislocations were found in three hips. Conclusion: Cementless THA yields encouraging clinical and radiological results in young and active patients under the age of 30. However, the bearing surface, type of stem, and head size influenced component durability and revision rate.

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.

Background: The management of degenerative hip diseases in young patients remains a challenge. Despite the improvement of hip-preserving procedures, total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be required in some instances. In addition, young patients undergoing THA have high expectations concerning their postoperative level of activity. Purpose: (1) to define the sports activity level and the return to sports after THA, (2) to describe the modification or initiation of new sports disciplines, and (3) to report the clinically meaningful outcomes after THA in patients younger than 40 years. Methods: A total of 36 patients (40 hips) were prospectively analyzed at a midterm follow-up of 3.9 years. The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS); the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain; the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale; and sports and recreational activity levels were assessed via questionnaire. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) was determined by calculating half of the standard deviation, and the substantial clinical benefit (SCB) as well as patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), were calculated by the anchor method for the mHHS. Results: At the final follow-up, there was a significant improvement in mHHS (34.1 to 92.6; p < 0.0001), UCLA (3.2 to 7.6; p < 0.0001), and VAS for pain (8 to 1; p < 0.0001). More patients were active in sports at follow-up than before surgery (44% to 92%, p < 0.0001). In addition, the duration and frequency of sports activities showed a significant increase (p < 0.0001). The MCID, SCB and PASS for mHHS were 89% and 58%, respectively. No revision surgery had to be performed. Conclusion: This study showed that a large proportion of patients under 40 years of age who underwent THA increased their physical activity. Eighty-six percent of the patients were highly active, with a UCLA score ≥ 7. Furthermore, the reported MCID, SCB, and PASS for mHHS were achieved by more than 80% of patients.

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the young is challenging. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine the clinical, radiographic, and polyethylene wear rate of relatively young patients. Methods We evaluated the outcome of consecutive patients receiving primary THA who were under 40 years of age with a minimum 10-year follow-up. Indications for THA in these patients were osteoarthritis due to developmental dysplasia of the hip joint (9 hips), osteonecrosis of the femoral head (7 hips), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (2 hips), and osteoarthritis due to Perthes disease (1 hip). All THA were performed with a cross-linked ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (XLPE) liner against zirconium heads with cementless implants. Results The average Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip score significantly improved from 42 to 93 points at the latest follow-up. The mean steady wear was 0.015 mm/year (maximum 0.033 mm/year), and the mean creep wear was 0.111 mm (maximum 0.4 mm). Osteolysis was observed around 1 acetabular component and 2 stems. 1 femoral component had subsidence over 5 mm. All of the femoral components achieved fixation with an optimal interface with spot welds at the latest follow-up. Stress shielding was observed in all hips. Conclusions THA using an XLPE liner against zirconium heads appeared to have improved THA longevity. However, the imaging findings in some cases were suggestive of wear debris. A rigorous continual follow-up is required for relatively young patients undergoing THA.

Background: Gunshot injury of the hip joint was reported to constitute 2–17% of all extremity firearm injuries. However, there are few studies in the literature related to gunshot injuries of the hip joint. The aim of the current study was to present the results of 10 cases treated with arthroplasty following a gunshot injury to the hip joint together with the recommended treatment algorithm. Methods: Patients with a previous medical history of hip joint region gunshot injury who underwent total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively evaluated. Those with incomplete medical records or who were lost to follow-up were excluded. Patients were classified according to the severity of the previous gunshot injury to the hip joint region. Harris hip score (HHS) and Short Form-12 quality of life score were the main outcome measurements. Postoperative complications encountered during follow-up were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 29.9 years. The mean preoperative HHS was 25.2 points and it was 65.8 at the final follow-up. Patients with bullet fragments in the hip joint, classified as group 1, had better HHS, whereas those with contaminated hip joint with intestinal flora, classified as group 3, had worst HHS. Conclusion: Hip arthroplasty after hip joint gunshot injury is a good treatment choice in young patients to reduce pain and regain functions. However, very high infection rates can be seen in patients with accompanying intestinal injury.

The aim of this study is to present our experience with two-stage reimplantation in the management of the infected hip arthroplasty. Between January 1993 and December 2001 the replacement of the total hip arthroplasty in two stages was performed in 18 patients. There were 7 male and 11 female patients and the average age was 62 years. The mean follow-up after revision was 3.5 years. The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score averaged 78 (50–96) points. None of 18 patients had a recurrence of the infection. Two-stage reconstruction of the infected hip is preferred to one-stage exchange arthroplasty at our department because of higher rate of eradication of the infection.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to analyse the results of uncemented total hip replacement, using the Metha (metaphyseal) stem. A total of 158 patients (70 females and 88 males) were qualified to the study and submitted to total hip arthroplasty (183 procedures altogether), using the Metha stem. The mean age of the patients on the day of surgery was 51.7 years (the range from 17 to 69 years). The mean follow up period was 9.2 years (the range from 5 to 13.5 years). Preoperative assessments gave poor scores, according to the Merle d’Aubigne and Postel classification, modified by Charnley. The average improvement after surgery, according to the used scale, was 6.9 points. A very good outcome was recorded in 154 cases (84.2%), a good outcome was achieved in 20 cases (10.9%) and a poor outcome was confirmed in 9 cases, while no satisfactory case was observed. Poor outcomes were associated with implant loosening. Extraskeletal ossification was noted in 10 cases (5.5%). According to the Kaplan–Meier estimator, the 10-year survival was 93.2% and 97.3% for the whole implant and the stem alone, respectively. 1. Our follow-up period of more than 9 years on the average, indicates that Metha stems produce excellent clinical and functional results in operated young patients with advanced degenerative changes of the hip joint. 2. Assuming a proper qualification for the procedure, the absence of complications and a correct surgical technique, which is slightly more difficult, when compared to standard stem implantation, the risk of aseptic loosening is fairly negligible.

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.

Introduction: Complex and revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a challenging prospect in patients with acetabular bone deficiencies. Augmentation using allograft and trabecular metal (TM) are among some of the options in these situations. This study report the outcomes of 14 cases of complex and revision THA using acetabular augments performed in our institution between 2015 and 2018 Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, data included demographic features, indication for THA, type of augments and clinical outcomes using the Harris hip score were collected for the to determine early results following THA. Results: The mean cohort age was 51.3 years. Gender distribution was equal with 7 male and female patients each. 7 THAs were augmented with allograft and 7 cases with TM augments. The average duration of follow-up was 16.9 months. Most patients (11 of 14) required complex primary THA following prior traumatic hip dislocations and its subsequent complications. The mean post-operative Harris hip score for functionality was 80.84 in our cohort at final follow-up (from an average of 33.8 pre-operatively). At present, there have been no reports of wound complications, infections or dislocations in this early cohort. Discussions: Complex/revision THA using allografts for acetabular augmentation have been used for decades with good and replicable results as shown in our series. TM is relatively new but current literatures show encouraging results. Both options have resulted in good outcomes in our cohort and further long term studies would be necessary before TM augments were to replace the need for allograft. Conclusions: Both allografts and TM acetabular augments showed good early results post-operatively in our cohort. With the improved flexibility of component selection and the lower risk of allograft infection, TM augments is currently our choice of acetabular augmentation and the early results are promising.

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.
