Abstract Background Dual-mobility hip component is widely used in Europe and North America, because it effectively reduces hip dislocation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasties. However, reports were limited on the use of dual-mobility articulation in Asian populations. Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to review the use of modular dual-mobility hip articulation in Asian patients with the high risk factor for hip dislocation. We also discussed the potential concern on the use of dual-mobility articulation in Asian patients. Methods From Jan 2018 to June 2019, 17 patients were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was (73.8 ± 9.5) years (range: 57–88 years). The mean size of acetabular cup and modular DM liner were (49.5 ± 3.4) mm (range, 46–58 mm) and (40.7 ± 3.4) mm (range, 38–48 mm), respectively. The mean follow-up period was (15.8 ± 3.9) months (range, 11–24 months). The primary outcome was the rate of hip dislocation. The secondary outcomes included the Harris Hip Score. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results Hip dislocation, loosening, peri-prosthetic fractures, or intra-prosthetic dislocation was not found in the series. The mean preoperative and postoperative Harris Hip Scores were 42.2 ± 17.2 (range, 15–80) and 74.7 ± 13.5 (range, 52–97), respectively, giving a mean improvement of 32.5 ± 17.2 (range, 4–72). The improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions In Asian patients with high risk of hip dislocation, the use of modular dual-mobility hip component produces promising outcomes without hip dislocation, but the relatively small-sized acetabulum may limit it widespread application in other populations worldwide.

Purpose Treatment of moderate to severe stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) remains a challenging problem. Open reduction by modified Dunn procedure carries a considerable risk of osteonecrosis (ON). Imhauser osteotomy is capable of realigning the deformity without the risk of ON, but the remaining metaphyseal bump is implicated with significant chondro-labral lesions and accelerated osteoarthritis. We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Imhauser osteotomy combined with osteochondroplasty (OCP) through the surgical hip dislocation (SHD) approach. Methods A prospective series of 23 patients with moderate-severe stable SCFE underwent Imhauser osteotomy and OCP through SHD. The mean age was 14.4 years (13 to 20) and the mean follow-up period was 45 months (24 to 66). The outcome measures included clinical and radiological parameters and Harris hip score (HHS) was used as a functional score. Results The mean HHS improved significantly from 65.39 to 93.3. The limb length discrepancy improved by a mean of 1.72 cm. The mean flexion and abduction arcs showed a significant improvement (mean increase of 37.5° and 18.5°, respectively). The mean internal rotation demonstrated the most significant improvement (mean increase of 38.5°). All the radiographic parameters improved significantly; including anterior and lateral slip angles (mean improvement 37.52° and 44.37°, respectively). The mean alpha angle decreased by 39.19°. The articulo-trochanteric distance significantly increased to a mean of 23.26 mm. No cases of ON or chondrolysis were identified. Conclusion Combined Imhauser osteotomy and OCP through the surgical dislocation approach provide a comprehensive and safe management of moderate to severe stable SCFE. Level of evidence IV

Introduction and methods: From January 2004 to December 2008, 188 total hip arthroplasties were performed using a cemented dual mobility cup. 174 patients were available for final analysis. Their mean age was 76.8 (range 54-98 years). The mean follow-up was 7.7 years (range 5-10 years). Results: There were no dislocations. Survivorship rates of the femoral and acetabular components were 100% at a minimum of 5 years. At the latest follow-up, the mean Harris Hip Score significantly increased from 31.6 (only arthritic patients) points preoperatively to 84.5 points. No patients had progressive osteolysis, component migration, or loosening on radiographs. 2 patients presented with periprosthetic fractures treated conservatively. 2 patients presented with infection treated without implant removal and 1 patient presented with transient femoral palsy. Conclusions: The results of this consecutive series confirmed the good performance of the cemented dual mobility cup at mean 7.7 years follow-up with no revision and no dislocations.

AbstractDislocation is among the most commonly reported complications following revision total hip arthroplasty. Dual-mobility bearings may lower the risk of dislocation. The authors report the results of a multicenter study evaluating the use of a dual-mobility acetabular cup design that was cemented into a metal shell as part of complex acetabular reconstructions or in cases where the risk of dislocation was felt to be high, such as isolated bearing exchanges. Eighteen patients were identified for being at high risk of dislocation who underwent cementation of a dual-mobility shell that is specifically made for cementation, into a fully porous metal revision acetabular cup (10 patients) or into a well-fixed cup at the time of revision without removal of the existing acetabular component (eight patients). Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically at a minimum of 2 years for the evidence of dislocation, revision surgery, and implant loosening. At a mean of 36 months (range, 25–56 months), one patient died and one was lost to follow-up. There were no known cases of hip dislocation. There was one repeat revision, for a deep infection treated with irrigation and debridement. The mean preoperative Harris Hip Score of 46 (range, 40–79) improved to a mean of 65 points (range, 41–97) at the most recent evaluation. Acetabular components were retained in 8 out of 18 cases and the dual-mobility shell was cemented into it. Cementation of a dual-mobility cup into a shell at the time of a revision surgery is a safe and reliable construct at minimum of 2 years for patients at high risk of dislocation. There were no complications related to the cementation of the cup into the metal shell. Longer follow-up is required to further assess the durability of this construct.

AimsSevere acetabular bone loss and pelvic discontinuity (PD) present particular challenges in revision total hip arthroplasty. To deal with such complex situations, cup-cage reconstruction has emerged as an option for treating this situation. We aimed to examine our success in using this technique for these anatomical problems.Patients and MethodsWe undertook a retrospective, single-centre series of 35 hips in 34 patients (seven male, 27 female) treated with a cup-cage construct using a trabecular metal shell in conjunction with a titanium cage, for severe acetabular bone loss between 2011 and 2015. The mean age at the time of surgery was 70 years (42 to 85) and all patients had an acetabular defect graded as Paprosky Type 2C through to 3B, with 24 hips (69%) having PD. The mean follow-up was 47 months (25 to 84).ResultsThe cumulative five-year survivorship of the implant with revision for any cause was 89% (95% confidence interval (CI) 72 to 96) with eight hips at risk. No revision was required for aseptic loosening; however, one patient with one hip (3%) required removal of the ischial flange of the cage due to sciatic nerve irritation. Two patients (6%; two hips) suffered from hip dislocation, whereas one patient (one hip) required revision surgery with cement fixation of a dual-mobility acetababular component into a well-fixed cup-cage construct. Two patients (6%; two hips) developed periprosthetic infection. One patient was successfully controlled with a two-stage revision surgery, while the other patient underwent excision arthroplasty due to severe medical comorbidities. For the whole series, the Harris Hip Score significantly improved from a mean of 30 (15 to 51) preoperatively to 71 (40 to 89) at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001).ConclusionOur findings suggest that cup-cage reconstruction is a viable option for major segmental bone defects involving the posterior column and PD. It allows adequate restoration of the acetabulum centre with generally good stability and satisfactory postoperative function. Instability and infection remain drawbacks in these challenging revision cases. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:1442–48.

Introduction Hip joint arthroplasty combined with shortening osteotomy is a technically difficult surgical intervention. Transection of the femur is possible both with the free-hand method and with the use of special devices. Purpose To evaluate the efficiency of using a special device for shortening osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty in comparison with the operations performed without an osteotomy guide. Materials and methods There were 16 hip replacement surgeries that included shortening osteotomy performed in patients with high dislocation of the femur. The group was divided into 2 subgroups: the study subgroup (8 cases), in which a special device was used for osteotomy, and the control subgroup (8 cases). We used clinical and radiographic study methods, and assesssed the Harris Hip Score (HHS) before and after treatment. Results Duration of the intervention and intraoperative blood loss in the first subgroup were shorter than in the control group but the difference was not statistically significant. The mean HHS increased significantly in the whole group. The midterm HHS in the study subgroup was 85.4 ± 1.9 points, which slightly differed from the control (81.9 ± 1.2 points). The mean follow-up period was 40 ± 8 months. There were two cases of nonunion in the osteotomy site and one case of transient sciatic neuropathy. Two patients with nonunion of the femoral fragments were treated by plating and bone grafting. Conclusion The use of a special device for subtrochanteric osteotomy technically simplifies the arthroplasty procedure in patients with high dislocation of the femur, shortens the operation time and reduces blood loss.

Background: Dual mobility (DM) has been shown to improve stability both in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) and is increasingly used in patients at high risk of dislocation and in the treatment of THA instability. The introduction of modular liners has helped to overcome some of the limitations of monoblock DM cups. In this context, the use of a ceramic liner would avoid the conventional cobalt-chromium liner in the titanium shell, which can be problematic in some situations. The aim of this paper is to report the outcomes of a consecutive series of patients undergoing revision THA using a modular DM cup with a ceramic liner instead of the conventional metal one, and to clarify the rationale for this currently “off-label” use. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective series of patients who received this new DM bearing in a single institution. Patients were followed up clinically and radiologically at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and yearly thereafter. Results: 5 patients received the ceramic liner in the study period (2014–2019). The indications were instability or high risk of dislocation in ceramic liner fracture and ARMD with soft tissue damage after MoM THA. The mean age at surgery was 74 (63–82) years, the mean follow-up was 36 (12–72) months. No dislocation occurred, and no adverse events related to the implant were recorded. Conclusions: The use of a ceramic liner in a modular DM cup offers several advantages in selected patients, and the results of our cohort are encouraging. However, caution is needed in introducing this new bearing because knowledge is currently limited. Further studies on a larger number of patients and with longer follow-ups are needed to confirm these findings and before widespread use of the device.

Abstract Purpose Polyethylene (PE) wear remains a common reason for revision surgery following total hip arthroplasty (THA). An established treatment method is isolated liner exchange in a well-fixed acetabular cup and entails a known high risk of hip dislocation after revision surgery. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the rate of hip dislocation after liner exchange. Methods Patients were included if (1) the PE liner was removable, (2) the acetabular shell was stable with acceptable orientation, (3) no osteolysis around the acetabular cup was found and (4) no dislocation of the THA occurred before revision surgery. We reviewed medical histories and performed radiological measurements using Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyse (EBRA) software. EBRA measurements and statistical investigations were performed by two independent investigators. Results A total of 82 patients were included in our study. Mean follow-up was six (range: 3.6–9.9) years. In 13 (15.8%) patients THA dislocations occurred at a mean postoperative period of 20.2 (range: 1–44) weeks after revising the PE liner. This is equivalent to an absolute risk increase of 16% after revision surgery, which results in a number needed to harm of 6. This means that every sixth patient with isolated liner exchange can expect to experience dislocation due to wear. Conclusion In conclusion, isolated exchange of the polyethylene liner because of wear showed a high risk of dislocation and further cup revision. Our results suggest that the threshold for revising well-fixed components in the case of liner wear should be lowered.

Purpose: Long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) and metal femoral head with more than 10 years of follow-up have already been reported. However, most studies included results with a head size of 28 mm that could affect wear rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of 36-mm metallic femoral heads on first-generation HXLPE in patients less than 60 years of age with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Methods: Retrospective analysis included 54 cases from 47 patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 47.22 years and the mean follow-up period was 131.04 months. Porous-coated cementless acetabular cups (Trilolgy®; Zimmer Inc., Warsaw, Indiana, USA) and HXLPE acetabular liners (Longevity®; Zimmer Inc.) were used for all cases. Acetabular cup abduction angles, anteversion angles, and wear rates of liner were measured using polyWare pro 3D distal version 5.10. Results: The average modified Harris hip score at the final follow-up was 88.48 (range 80–96). Average Merle d’Aubigne and Postel score was 15.57 (range 14–18). There was no acetabular cup or femoral stem failing due to aseptic loosening. The average steady-state wear rate determined using radiographs taken at 1 year postoperatively and at the latest follow-up was 0.053 ± 0.025 mm/year. There were no statistically significant differences in liner wear rate with respect to age, variety of the femoral stem, or liner thickness. Conclusion: Results of THA with 36-mm metallic femoral heads on first-generation HXLPE in patients less than 60 years of age were satisfactory.

Introduction: Dual mobility (DM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) may reduce dislocation risk, but might increase the risk of high polyethylene (PE) wear due to double wearing surfaces. Methods: 127 patients (97 female) with 129 hips operated with THA after displaced femoral neck fracture FNF between 2005 and 2011, were seen for a cross-sectional clinical follow-up. Acetabular components were Saturne® DM cups with 28mm chrome-cobalt heads in UHMWPE. Cementless cups (n = 73) were hydroxyapatite coated. Radiographs were obtained for analysis of cup placement, 2D polyethylene wear and wear-rate (PolyWare 3D), and further radiological evaluation. Activity measurements included Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and walking distance from Harris Hip Score (HHS). Results: At a mean follow-up of 2.83 (1.0-7.7) years the mean wear was 0.82 mm (range 0.17-4.51, SD 0.50), and the wear-rate was 0.37 mm (range 0.06-1.90, SD 0.29). Wear-rate of 0.43 mm/year (SD 0.30) in cementless cups was higher (p = 0.004) than 0.30 mm/year (SD 0.27) in cemented cups. Mean age at time of surgery was 75.1 years (range 30-95). There was no correlation between age at time of surgery and wear (p = 0.56). There was no correlation between cup inclination and wear-rate (p = 0.35). TUG was mean 13.4 seconds (range 4.5-30.1) and correlated with wear rate (p = 0.03). Conclusions: At short term follow-up, the mean wear-rate in old and low demand patients was high, correlated to activity, and was above the generally accepted osteolysis threshold (0.1 mm/yr.). Cementless HA-coated cups had higher wear-rate than cemented cups.
