Background: Recently, a femoral stem treated with grit-blasting and micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating has commercialised but medium-term follow-up studies are lacking. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of a grit-blasted and MAO-coated femoral component designed as a straight, double-wedged, tapered stem with a rectangular cross-section with minimum 10 years follow-up. Methods: Between March 2006 and December 2008, 309 primary total hip arthroplasties using a grit-blasted and MAO-coated femoral component were performed by 3 experienced hip surgeons in 3 hospitals. At minimum 10 years after index THA, 299 hips were living, 10 hips were deceased, and 65 hips were lost to follow-up or had a follow-up period <10 years. Finally, 234 hips were enrolled in this study. Results: Mean duration of clinical follow-up was 129.6 months. The mean Harris Hip Score was improved from 46.9 to 88.4 at the final follow-up. 4 hips were revised for 2 aseptic femoral loosening, 1 aseptic acetabular cup loosening and 1 late infection. 3 hips were revised for a periprosthetic femoral fracture requiring a femoral component revision. The average time to revision was 51.6 (range 0–148) months. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis with an end point of revision for any reason demonstrated a survival rate of 97.4% at 10 years. Survival was 98.7% with revision for aseptic loosening as the endpoint. Conclusions: The outcomes of a cementless grit-blasted and MAO-coated tapered-wedge stem of THA were excellent to satisfactory after a follow-up of at least 10 years.

Introduction: Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implants may be combined with a conventional femoral stem to create a modular metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (BHR MoM THA). There is little outcome data regarding this construct. This study examines midterm outcomes of BHR MoM THA compared to oxidised zirconium total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A retrospective institutional review identified all patients receiving BHR MoM THA between April 2005 and February 2011 and a matched control cohort of zirconium THA patients. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Harris Hip Score (HHS), and SF-12 Health status scores were obtained. Revisions and complications were collected from clinical records. Radiographs were assessed for evidence of component malposition, loosening, osteolysis, or heterotopic ossification. Results: 63 modular BHR MoM THA were identified in 61 patients (36 with BHR cups, 27 with R3 cups) and 63 zirconium THA in 58 matched controls. Mean follow-up was 58 months. 14 BHR MoM THA hips (22.2%) were revised (4 infections, 1 dislocation, 9 soft tissue reactions) compared to 3 (4.8%) zirconium THA (all infections). At latest follow-up, 18.4% of surviving BHR MoM THA hips were painful compared to 0.5% of zirconium THA controls ( p < 0.001). WOMAC, HHS, and SF-12 did not differ significantly between surviving members of the 2 groups. Discussion: BHR MoM THA demonstrated a high revision rate, largely for adverse local soft tissue reaction and pain. Among those not revised, many reported some residual pain despite similar quality of life measures to those who received zirconium THA.

Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiological results, revision rates and causes, and the rate of implant survival in total hip arthroplasty performed using CLS® expansion cup and Spotorno® cementless femoral stem. Methods: Clinical results of total hip arthroplasty performed on 131 hips of 114 patients in Istanbul Training and Research Hospital between 1993 and 2003 were retrospectively evaluated according to the Harris Hip Score. Revision rates were determined and implant survival rates were identified using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: Of the patients, 39 were males and 75 were females. The average age of the patients at surgery was 48.7±11.3 years. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 13.9±2.4 years. The mean Harris Hip Score was 34.35±6.09 preoperatively and 88.20±7.11 at the final follow-up (p<0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate for the cup at 13.9 years, taking revision for any reason as the end point was 95.6% (95% CI), while the 15th and 17th year survival rates were 90% and 85%, respectively. Conclusion: In total hip arthroplasty using a cementless expansive acetabular cup, a 95.6% survival rate is achieved after an average of 14 years, whereas the rate decreases to 85% after 17 years. Even if the incidence of cup breakage is reduced with proper implantation, particle disease and periacetabular osteolysis remains a problem for the long-term survival. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.1.3089 How to cite this:Carkci E, Polat AE, Ozturkmen Y, Tuzuner T.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the clinical features and results of the revision total hip arthroplasties (THA) in patients with catastrophic failures and metallosis. Methods: Fifteen hips of 14 patients with catastrophic failure and metallosis in hip arthroplasties were evaluated. They were followed for at least 4.2 years after the revision THA. Clinical evaluation was performed using Harris hip score. Osteolysis, loosening or presence of metallosis was evaluated with standard radiographs. Metallosis was evaluated intraoperatively according to the metallosis severity classification. Results: The mean time from failure until revision surgery was 9.4 years. It was observed that in the primary THA, metal-on-ceramic (MoC), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-conventional polyethylene (MoCPE) bearings were used in 1, 3 and 11 hips, respectively. Grade III metallosis was observed in all patients during revision surgeries. The mean Harris hip score increased from 55 points before revision THA to 75 points at the final follow-up. In revision arthroplasty, MoCPE and CoC bearings were used in 13 and 2 hips, respectively. The femoral stem was replaced in 5 hips. All acetabular cups, except that of one hip, were revised. Conclusions: Revisions of THAs with catastrophic failures and metallosis are quite challenging. Routine follow-up of arthroplasty patients is beneficial to examine for osteolysis, loosening, and asymmetric wear.

Abstract Background The application of short femoral stems is partially restricted in revision surgery. This study will demonstrate the therapeutic effect and unsuitable situation for short stem revision. Methods Demographic characteristics of all patients were recorded in detail (Table 1). Anteroposterior view radiographic examinations of proximal femur are necessary before and after the operation for patients. The primary outcome of interest was the survival rate of the femoral stem at the final follow-up. Risk factors for failure were also investigated. The secondary outcomes of interest included the Harris hip score, excellent to good rate and incidence of complications. The Mann–Whitney U test was performed for comparisons between continuous variables. The chi-square test was performed for comparisons between categorical variables. Cox regression analysis was used to assess the association between potential risk factors and the failure of revision surgery. Results A total of 381 patients with short stems were retrospectively reviewed. There were 188 males and 193 females. The average age and body mass index before revision surgery were 58.85 ± 13.46 years and 23.72 ± 3.40 kg/m2, respectively. The mid-term survival rate of the short femoral component was 94.23%. The prognosis and complications of patients between the two groups were compared. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the Harris score, complication incidence or survival rate of the femoral component. The strongest risk factor in this study was intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture during revision surgery (HR = 5.477, 95% CI = 2.156–13.913). Conclusion Three risk factors for failure were identified: ageing, osteoporosis and intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture during revision surgery. Therefore, a short femoral stem should be implanted in patients with these risk factors with additional caution.

Introduction: Third-generation hemispheric, titanium porous-coated (HTPC) acetabular cups have been shown to achieve good biologic fixation through enhanced porous ingrowth surfaces. They also allow for a wide range of bearing options, including polyethylene, dual-mobility, and ceramic liners. The purpose of the study is to review the mid-term clinical outcomes an HTPC acetabular cup with a minimum of 7-year follow-up. Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted on all consecutive patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) with an HTCP acetabular cup at an urban, tertiary referral centre. Descriptive statistics were used describe baseline patient characteristics. Outcomes collected included postoperative complications, survival free of reoperations, and presence of osteolysis at latest imaging follow-up. Implant survival was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 118 cases (114 primary, 4 revision) underwent THA with the HTCP acetabular cup at an average follow-up of 8.16 ± 0.85 years (range 7.02–10.28 years). Mean patient age at the time of surgery was 61.29 ± 12.04 years. All cases utilised a high-molecular-weight polyethylene (HMWPE) liner. None of the acetabular cups showed loosening or migration at the latest follow-up. There were 2 revisions in our study, 1 for abductor mechanism disruption and 1 due to surgical site infection where the acetabular cup was revised. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis for all-cause revision at 7 and 10-year follow-up showed a survival rate of 99.1% (95% confidence interval, 94.1–99.9%). Survivorship analysis for aseptic acetabular revision at 10-year follow-up showed a survival rate of 100%. Conclusions: At long-term follow-up, no radiologic and minimal clinical complications were identified in this series. The HTPC acetabular cup system, used in conjunction with a HMWPE liner, demonstrates excellent outcomes and survivorship when compared to earlier mid-term studies published in the literature.

AbstractOver the last two decades, cementless hip prostheses gained increasing popularity. Highly porous, trabecular coatings and their promising bone-friendly properties also came to a wider diffusion. As a consequence, this study was aimed to evaluate clinical and radiographic results at short-to-medium term of cementless prosthetic implants with trabecular titanium cup and titanium femoral metaphyseal stem highly porous coatings. From September 2012 to June 2015 213, cementless total hip arthroplasties were performed in 200 patients. All patients received a cementless Accolade II stem and Tritanium cup with UHMWPE Trident X3 Bearing Technology polyethylene liner. All surgeries were performed using a tissue-sparing modified posterolateral approach. All patients underwent prophylaxis for heterotopic ossifications. For every patient, the following data were collected: age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, blood loss, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin, surgical time, and complications. Harris Hip Score was obtained for every patient. Radiographic measurements were performed using a freeware software (TraumaCAD 2.0). The computed parameters were inclination and anteversion of acetabular cup and presence of heterotopic ossification. The mean follow-up was 37.7 months from surgery. Data were analyzed by SPSS software v 24.0. The postoperative average Harris Hip Score was 87.4 points (range, 40.5–95.7) and 91 patients scored excellent results, with more than 90 points (52.4%). Heterotopic ossifications were seen in 12 patients (6.9%) and correlated to patient weight, surgical timing, and hemoglobin values. There were three cases of dislocation (1.7%) that significantly correlated with cup inclination (R 2 = 17.9; p = 0.018). One cup underwent early revision because of undersizing of the component and subsequent lack of integration, thus leading to an overall survivorship of 99.4%. In conclusion, excellent medium-term functional outcome, patient satisfaction, and low complications rate were observed for the studied implant. A higher incidence of heterotopic ossifications was significantly correlated to patient weight, surgical time, blood loss, and transfusions. Also, inclination of the acetabular cup proved to be correlated to hip dislocation.

Introduction: An ongoing discussion is whether using a hydroxyapatite coating enhances the ingrowth and longevity of a femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty. The best way to predict speed of ingrowth and long-term outcome is by evaluating micromotion by radiostereometric analysis. To study the effect of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the migration of the SL-PLUS hip stem, we performed a prospective double blind randomised controlled trial comparing the early migration of the hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated SL-PLUS stem compared to the Standard (non-coated) SL-PLUS stem. Patients and methods: 51 patients were randomly assigned to receive either an uncoated or a HA-coated femoral component during total hip replacement. RSA images were obtained direct postoperatively and at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months. HOOS scores were obtained preoperative and at final follow-up. Results: RSA evaluation demonstrated significant migration up to 3 months postoperatively in both groups. After initial setting no significant migration was observed. There was no significant difference in migration between the HA-coated group and the uncoated group. Both Harris Hip Score (HHS) and HOOS domain scores (pain and ADL) significantly improved compared to baseline at 24 months after surgery in both treatment groups (p<0.001 for all comparisons). Improvement did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Conclusions: At 2 years follow-up, the HA-coated and uncoated Zweymuller type, distal fitting stem do not show different migration patterns.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using fourth-generation ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearing surfaces. Methods: A total of 52 revision THAs (28 men and 19 women) using the fourth-generation CoC bearing surfaces were retrospectively evaluated. Both acetabular cup and femoral stem were revised in all cases. The mean follow-up period was 7.3 years (range, 4.0–9.9 years). The clinical results with Harris hip score (HHS), Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and radiologic outcomes were evaluated. Results: At the final follow-up examination, the average HHS was 90.4 (range, 67–100). The average WOMAC pain and physical function score were 2.8 (range, 0–12) and 16.4 (range, 0–42), respectively. Complications were observed in 10 hips (19.2%). However, there were no bearing surface-related complications, and no cases of dislocation and squeaking. Retroacetabular pelvic osteolysis without cup loosening was observed in one hip at the final follow-up. However, no hip showed radiographic signs of cup loosening, vertical or horizontal acetabular cup migrations, and changes of inclinations during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Our data showed that clinical and radiologic outcomes after revision THA using fourth-generation CoC bearing were favorable. Hence, revision THA with the use of CoC bearing surfaces can be preferentially considered. Further studies with long-term follow-up data are warranted.

Purpose: It remains controversial whether cementless femoral components are safe in elderly patients. The aim of this study was (1) to determine the stem survival rate in patients >75 years of age who were treated with an uncemented femoral component and (2) to report clinically significant results on a mid-term follow-up. Methods: 107 total hip arthroplasties (THA) were retrospectively evaluated in 97 patients over 75 years of age (mean age 78 years, range 75–87) treated with an uncemented femoral stem. The minimum follow-up was five years (mean 6.4 years, range 5–8). Stem survival rates, clinically meaningful outcomes, and incidence of complications were evaluated. Results: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with the endpoint revision for any reason, showed a 6.4-year survival rate of 98% (95% CI, 95–99%; 63 hips at risk). The survival rates were comparable for male and female patients (log-rank test, p = 0.58). The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) improved from 42.2 (12 to 85) points to 81.1 (22 to 97) points (p < 0.0001). Mid-term minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were 25, 84, and 70, respectively. Conclusion: An uncemented stem is a viable option in patients over 75 years with good clinical outcomes and survivorship. Periprosthetic fractures were not a relevant failure mechanism with the stem used.

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.
