Purpose. To assess the treatment outcome of revision hip arthroplasty for Vancouver type B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures using a modular distally cemented stem. Methods. 22 men and 14 women (37 hips) aged 66 to 79 (mean, 70) years underwent revision hip arthroplasty for Vancouver type B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures. The indication for surgery was periprosthetic fracture with stem loosening and loss of proximal bone stock. The patients were referred from other hospitals after previous surgeries had failed: 8 with 3 previous surgeries, 19 with 2, and 9 with one. Using a transtrochanteric approach, the existing prosthesis was removed and a modular proximal femoral replacement stem was inserted, bypassing the area of proximal femoral fracture and bone loss. The stem was distally cemented. Patients were immobilised within 48 hours of surgery. Results. Patients were followed up for a mean of 14 (range, 8–18) years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 29 (range, 5–40) to 78 (range, 56–88); 24 patients attained excellent or good scores (>80), 10 attained fair, and 2 attained poor scores. The mean healing time was 7 (range, 6–14) months; there was no non-union. Improvement in proximal bone stock was noted on serial radiographs. None of the stems had cement fracture or migration, requiring revision. Two (5%) of the patients had dislocations. Conclusion. Vancouver type B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures can be successfully treated with a distally cemented modular proximal femoral replacement prosthesis.

Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the treatment of traumatic periprosthetic femoral fractures with open reduction and internal fixation. The outcomes with the use of the surgical techniques were also reported. Methods Between September 2017 and September 2019, 25 patients with traumatic periprosthetic femoral fractures were managed by open reduction and internal fixation in Ain Shams University Hospital, Egypt. The fixation methods were selected based on the surgeon’s preference. Outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score, visual analogue score (VAS) for pain, and EuroQol 5 Dimensions – 5 Level (EQ5D-5L) prior to and after surgery. Patients were regularly followed up for one year. A P value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results The mean age at surgery was 77 years (range, 51 to 95 years), 64% (n = 16) were females. According to the Vancouver classification, there were 1 type AG, 15 type B1, and 9 type C fractures. Postoperative complications included wound site infection (n = 2) and non-union (n = 1). The mean pre-trauma Harris Hip Score was 77.44 ± 8.63 (range, 65 to 90), and the mean Harris Hip Score collected at the final follow-up was 72.47 ± 8.85 (range, 60 to 86) (P < 0.05). The mean pre-trauma VAS was 2.20 ± 1.21 (range, 0 to 4), and the mean VAS recorded at the final follow-up was 3.00 ± 1.41 (range, 0 to 5) (P < 0.05). According to the EQ5D-DL assessed at the final follow-up, no patient felt that their daily life and activities became more problematic. Conclusion This study provided added validation of the current management of periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty. Using the proper fixation and implant can achieve a reliable fixation and good functional recovery. Level of evidence IVa

Abstract Background Performing total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with Crowe IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is technically challenging. Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy is typically required for placing the acetabular component within the anatomic hip center. However, the outcomes of subtrochanteric osteotomy using cemented components are not widely reported. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of cemented stem THA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening and transverse derotational osteotomy in patients with Crowe IV DDH.Methods We retrospectively evaluated data of patients with Crowe IV DDH who underwent cemented stem THA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening and transverse derotational osteotomy between 2010 and 2018. Patients who underwent surgery at the hip joint were excluded. Data regarding pre- and postoperative clinical and radiological parameters were collected and reviewed.Results Among 14 patients included (14 hips), the mean age was 60.4 (range, 47–73) years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 40.7 to 87.7. The mean limb length discrepancy reduced from 52 mm to 12.7 mm. No neurologic deficits were noted. The mean osteotomy union time was 10.6 months. Delayed union and postoperative dislocation were observed in one and two patients, respectively. Cement leakage into the osteotomy gap was observed in one patient. No revisions were required. No signs of loosening or migration were observed. Conclusions Cemented stem THA combined with subtrochanteric femoral shortening and transverse derotational osteotomy is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with Crowe IV DDH. The cemented femoral component showed promising mid-term follow up results. However, cement leakage affects bone healing. Osteotomy and cementing should be performed meticulously.Trial Registration: Retrospectively registered

Background. Two-stage revision hip arthroplasty is the gold standard for treatment of patients with chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), but few studies have reported outcomes beyond short-term follow-up.Methods. A total of 155 patients who underwent two-stage revision arthroplasty for chronic PJI in 157 hips were retrospectively enrolled in this study between January 2001 and December 2010. The mean patient age was 57.5 years, the mean prosthetic age was 3.6 years, and the interim interval was 17.8 weeks. These patients were followed up for an average of 9.7 years.Results. At the latest follow-up, 91.7% of the patients were free of infection. The mean Harris hip score improved significantly from 28.3 points before operation to 85.7 points at the latest follow-up. Radiographically, there was aseptic loosening of the stem or acetabular components in 4 patients. In the multivariate survival analysis using a Cox regression model, repeated debridement before final reconstruction, an inadequate interim period, bacteriuria or pyuria, and cirrhosis were found to be the independent risk factors for treatment failure.Conclusion. Our data show that two-stage revision hip arthroplasty provides reliable eradication of infection and durable reconstruction of the joint in patients with PJI caused by a variety of pathogens.

Purpose: Revision hip arthroplasty is a very challenging procedure. Use of a modular distal fixation stem is one of the available options for revision arthroplasty in patients with proximal femoral bone deficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mid- to long-term outcomes of cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem implantation in revision hip surgery. Methods: Clinical and radiological findings, complications, and stem survival rate were analyzed for 46 patients (48 hips) who underwent revision hip arthroplasty using a cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem. The mean patient age was 58.8 years (range 31–82 years) and the mean follow-up period was 95 months (72–122 months). The preoperative diagnoses were aseptic loosening (36 hips), infection (4 hips), ceramic fracture (4 hips), and femoral periprosthetic fracture (4 hips). Results: The mean Harris hip score improved from 56.6 preoperatively to 88.2 postoperatively at the last follow-up. All hips showed stable osteointegration and firm fixation. Complications involved four hips (8.3%); there was one case each of periprosthetic fracture, delayed union of osteotomy site, femoral perforation, and infection. One stem re-revision was performed for deep infection of the femoral side. The Kaplan–Meier survival rate was 97.6% at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Revision hip arthroplasty using a cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem showed satisfactory initial firm fixation and mid- to long-term survival rate. Complications can be minimized by careful surgical planning and meticulous procedure.

Background: Total hip replacement (THR) is one treatment option for failed hip fracture fixation. It is considered as a salvage procedure for older patients, patients with poor bone stock, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, associated with damaged acetabular articular cartilage. Patients and Methods: Total hip replacement was done for forty patients with failed internal fixation of trochanteric femoral fractures, 28 males and 12 females completed the follow up and six patients were lost. The procedure was carried out through a lateral exposure in all cases. Harris hip score (HHS) was used for clinical evaluation preoperatively, postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation comprising anteroposterior radiographic views of the pelvis and femur and a lateral view of the femur were performed at follow-up visits. Results: The mean time of follow up was 48 months (range from 36-72 months). The mean Harris hip score was improved from a mean of 24 points preoperative to 88 points at final follow up. Pain relief and gait correction were noted at the final follow up. Twenty-eight patients (70%) could freely walk outdoors using a cane or elbow crutch; eight patients (20 %) had a limited walking ability using two axillary crutches, and four patients (10 %) were able to walk indoors only. Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty is a good salvage procedure after failed internal fixation of trochanteric femoral fractures. Individual selection of the implant depends upon the age of patient, level of activity, the bone stock of proximal femur, and the condition of the acetabulum. To maintain stability, reattachment of the greater trochanter should be done. To avoid intraoperative fractures of osteoporotic bone, dislocation of the hip should be very careful.

Extensively coated long femoral stem revision hip arthroplasty is based on the principle of distal fixation at diaphyseal region, which can overcome the problem of proximal femoral bone stock deficiencies causing inadequate support and unstable fixation when using conventional length femoral stem. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 43 cases of revision hip arthroplasties using extensively hydroxyapatite-coated long femoral stem performed in our department from Jan 1998 to Dec 2005. Patients’ background demographic data, operative details and clinical outcome were analyzed. The mean age at revision surgery was 63.7 (32–84). The mean follow-up period was of 13.8 years (11–17.5 years). In the latest follow up, all patients reported either no or mild hip or thigh pain. 29.2% of patients were able to walk unaided, 25.0% were able to walk with stick, and 33.3% were able to walk with quadripod. The average Harris hip score measured in the latest follow up was 78.8 (55–100). 4.7% were complicated with implant loosening requiring re-revision and 4.7% were complicated with implant infection requiring implant removal. The survival rate was 89.9% at 17.5 years. The femoral stem without femoral fixation augmentation had better survivorship as compared with those with augmentation (p = 0.038). Extensively hydroxyapatite-coated long femoral stem is a good option for revision hip arthroplasty with good clinical outcome and high survival rate.
