Peripheral joints involvement in Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been reported in 73% of these cases, with the hip being the most commonly affected diarthrodial joint. The reported prevalence of hip involvement in AS varies from 19 to 36%. Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is often required to manage pain and restore function and mobility. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze outcomes related to performing THA on patients with AS. Methods: We evaluated the oncologic, functional outcome and complications of a patient 27 years old with Ewing sarcoma Data of 19 AS patients who underwent 29 THAs between 2014 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and imaging data were collected preoperatively, postoperatively, and during the follow-up period for surgical outcomes. Results: There were 14 males and 5 females with 29 affected hips (53% bilateral, 47% unilateral). The average patient at surgery was 31.7 years old (range, 17-47 years). After surgeries, overall inclinations and anteversions of acetabular cups were 44.9°±0.3° (range, 30°–50°) and 18.42°±0.30° (range, 0°–25°) respectively. Mean Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreased from 7.4±0.14 (range, 4–10) preoperatively to 3.21±0.09 (range, 0–4) at final follow-up. Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) improved from 24.36±2.6 (range, 15–45) to 92±1.66 (range, 80–95) at final follow-up. Postoperative Range of Motion (ROM) was improved from 10.26°±2.61° (range, 0°–50°) preoperatively to 84.26°±0.76° (range, 70°–100°) at final follow-up. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) score, which shows the activity of disease, was 7.6±0.17, and it decreased to 3.5±0.15 at last follow-up. There were post-operative complications in 8 hips (27.6%). Superficial wound infection was documented in 3 hips (10.3%), sciatic nerve injury in 1 hip (3.4%), implant loosening in 2 hip (6.9%), and heterotopic ossification was documented in 2 hips (6.9%) at final follow-up. Conclusion: Surgical outcomes of THA for AS patients with hip involvement are satisfactory.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bony ankylosis is technically challenging in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to determine the mid-term results of bilateral synchronous THA for bony ankylosis in patients with AS. Methods Nineteen cases of bony ankylosis in patients with AS who received bilateral synchronous THA were included in this study (17 males and 2 females, mean age 49.2 years). Disease duration was 5–38 years (mean 18 years and 6 months). All patients received cementless THA. Intraoperative blood loss, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and complications were assessed. Harris hip scores evaluated the clinical effect. Results Patients were followed up for 62–98 months (mean 82.5 months). VAS score decreased from 7.42 ± 0.92 to 2.42 ± 0.83, Harris hip score improved from 21.8 ± 7.2 to 80.3 ± 6.5, and the flexion-extension range of the hip improved from 0 to 142.3 ± 6.2°. One patient with septum bronchiale had a fracture intraoperatively and was treated with wire strapping. One patient had a traction injury of the femoral nerve postoperatively and recovered 1 year after the operation. Loosening and subsidence were not observed in all patients. Heterotopic bone formation was noted in 3 patients. No complications such as joint dislocation, acute infection, and deep vein thrombosis were found. Conclusion Bilateral synchronous THA was effective for bony ankylosis of the hip in patients with AS because it improved patients’ quality of life and had satisfactory mid-term outcomes.

Background: The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach. Methods: 44 patients who underwent THA, were randomly allocated to either MPA or SuperPATH. The data were then collected prospectively (preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks). Plain anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis and instrumental gait analysis were obtained. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) were used to assess functional and clinical outcomes. Results: No significant difference was found in patients’ surgical outcomes. Patients in the SuperPATH group had less pain according to the VAS score at follow-up than the MPA group ( p < 0.01). There was also a significant improvement in HHS and HOOS scores for all patients ( p < 0.001) with the SuperPATH group showing superior changes. The comparison of mean differences in gait velocity between preoperative and 6 weeks postoperative result, revealed improvement in the SuperPATH group over the MPA group ( p = 0.06). Limping was more persistent in the MPA group. Kinematic parameters demonstrated improved hip joint excursion slightly higher in the MPA group. There was no significant improvement in kinetic and kinematic parameters at different walking moments for all patients at 6 weeks compared to preoperative gait patterns. Conclusions: SuperPATH and MPA both show excellent results. This study reveals that the SuperPATH technique was associated with lower postoperative pain levels, and higher physical function and quality of life. Improved functional outcomes allowed earlier postoperative rehabilitation and faster recovery. Specific improvement in gait patterns were identified with nonsignificant differences between the 2 approaches at 6 weeks follow-up.

This study aims to establish the midterm safety and performance for the direct superior approach to minimally invasive surgery total hip arthroplasty (MIS-THA). We used a unicentric, single-surgeon, retrospective, consecutive case series analysis of the first 40 patients who received primary unilateral direct superior MIS-THA. Special attention was given to functional recovery by measuring Harris Hip Score (HHS) and timed-up-and-go (TUG) with a mean follow up of 2.2 ± 0.4 years. A radiologic evaluation was performed. HHS and TUG improved significantly at three months and one year (p < 0.001). All components were placed within the Lewinnek safe zone with no change position or signs of loosening at two years. With a minimum of two years of follow up, the direct superior approach appears to be safe without any obvious or consistent postoperative complications—clinically or radiographically—with excellent functional recovery. Additionally, our subgroup analysis supported no late learning curve effect.

Introduction: Sexual activity is often an important component of life. To date, no studies have examined sexual activity before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in male patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of THA on sexual activity and to explore the most commonly reported and comfortable coital position for male AS patients with hip involvement. Methods: Data from 31 male AS patients who underwent THA for hip involvement were retrospectively reviewed. Information from the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and other clinical parameters was collected and monitored over time. We compared the above-mentioned parameters before surgery and 2 years after surgery and analysed the correlation between changes on the IIEF and changes in clinical parameters. Results: The domain and total scores of the IIEF, except EF, were significantly higher after surgery than were those before surgery ( p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between changes on the IIEF and improvement in flexion-extension range of motion (ROM), adduction-abduction ROM and HHS ( p < 0.05). Most patients (26/31, 83.9%) resumed sexual activity 5–12 weeks after surgery. The pre- and postoperative distributions of the most commonly reported and comfortable position were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Successful THA may improve sexual activity in male AS patients with hip involvement. Changes in hip ROM show the most significant correlation with improvement in sexual activity. Resumption of sexual activity occurs within 5–12 postoperative weeks.

Long-term data and information indicating whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are safe and effective with total hip arthroplasty (THA) are lacking. Between 2004 and 2006, 75 patients with alcohol-related osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who underwent 75 THAs with the two-incision approach were studied. The medical records, radiographic parameters, and functional outcomes were collected prospectively. All data were compared with those for matched patients who underwent a modified Watson-Jones (WJ) approach. THA using the two-incision approach was associated with longer operation time, more blood loss, more lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, and more periprosthetic femoral fractures (p<0.05for all four) than the modified WJ approach. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) increased significantly from the period preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively and thereafter up to the last follow-up in both groups. However, there were no significant differences in terms of radiographic parameters and functional outcomes between the two groups throughout the study period. Both the two-incision and the modified WJ approach provided satisfactory results and survival rates at a mean follow-up of 10.8 years. A prospective, randomized, large-scale cohort study is still warranted for evidence-based recommendations.

Aims Femoral bone preparation using compaction technique has been shown to preserve bone and improve implant fixation in animal models. No long-term clinical outcomes are available. There are no significant long-term differences between compaction and broaching techniques for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of migration, clinical, and radiological outcomes. Methods A total of 28 patients received one-stage bilateral primary THA with cementless femoral stems (56 hips). They were randomized to compaction on one femur and broaching on the contralateral femur. Overall, 13 patients were lost to the ten-year follow-up leaving 30 hips to be evaluated in terms of stem migration (using radiostereometry), radiological changes, Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and complications. Results Over a mean follow-up period of 10.6 years, the mean stem subsidence was similar between groups, with a mean of -1.20 mm (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.28 to -0.12) in the broaching group and a mean of -0.73 mm (95% CI -1.65 to 0.20) in the compaction group (p = 0.07). The long-term migration patterns of all stems were similar. The clinical and radiological outcomes were similar between groups. There were two intraoperative fractures in the compaction group that were fixed with cable wire and healed without complications. No stems were revised. Conclusion Similar stem subsidence and radiological and clinical outcomes were identified after the use of compaction and broaching techniques of the femur at long-term follow-up. Only the compaction group had intraoperative periprosthetic femur fractures, but there were no long-term consequences of these. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(12):1035–1042.

Introduction: The best treatment of acetabular chondral flaps during surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is unknown. We asked if subchondral drilling improves clinical and radiographic outcome and if there are factors predicting failure. Methods: We treated 79 patients with symptomatic FAI and acetabular chondral flaps with surgical hip dislocation between January 2000 and December 2007. Exclusion of all patients with previous hip pathology or trauma resulted in 62 patients (80 hips). The chondral flap was slightly debrided in 43 patients/51 hips (control group). In 28 patients/29 hips (study group), additional osseous drilling was performed. 4 patients (5 hips, 6%) were lost to follow-up. Mean follow-up was 9 years (5–13 years). The groups did not differ in demographic data, radiographic parameters or follow-up. Clinical outcome was assessed with the Merle d’Aubigné score, modified Harris Hip Score and University of California Los Angeles activity score and progression of osteoarthritis with the Tönnis grade. Results: No patient underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the drilling group compared to 7 patients (8 hips, 16%) in the control group ( p = 0.005); in the remaining hips, clinical scores and progression of Tönnis grade did not differ. Increased acetabular coverage, age and body mass index were univariate predictive factors for conversion to THA. No drilling was as an independent predictive factor for conversion to THA (hazard ratio 58.07, p = 0.009). Conclusion: Subchondral drilling under acetabular chondral flaps during surgical treatment of FAI is an effective procedure to reduce the rate of conversion to THA.

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.

Abstract Purrpose Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been a subject of recent discussion and concern due to the early failures caused by local and systemic adverse reactions related to specific designs. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcomes and survival rates of a single brand of MoM implants implanted in a consecutive series of patients at a single institution. Methods Between 2007 and 2012, 116 (118 hips) patients were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 6.6 years after primary THA. The diagnosis leading to surgery was osteoarthritis (80 patients) and proximal femoral fracture (36 patients). A single design of THA was implanted. All patients were evaluated before surgery and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months by clinical scores and radiographic studies. The data analysis was made using Student's t-test. Results The minimum follow-up was of 4 years, with a mean follow-up of 6.6 years. Two aseptic loosenings of the acetabular component were recorded (one per group), which were not associated with local or systemic complications related to metal ion release. Both were revised by an isolated acetabular cup substitution with metal-on-polyethylene couplings. Nonprogressive radiolucency lines < 2 mm in zone 2 were observed in other six patients around the acetabular component without clinical manifestation (four in the arthritis group and two in the fracture group). Postoperative Harris Hip Score and SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Survey) score improved in both groups. Conclusion Despite several MoM implants showing early complications and failures, a specific MoM design may be associated with good clinical results at a mid- to long-term follow-up. Level of Evidence This is a therapeutic case series, Level 4 study.
