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

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an available surgical option for failed acetabular fracture, previously managed by open reduction and internal fixation. This study aimed to report the postoperative outcomes of cementless THA in patients with this condition. Materials and Methods: Between November 2000 and September 2016, 25 consecutive cementless THAs for failed internal fixation after acetabular fractures with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were analyzed. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years (36–85 years), and the time elapsed between fracture and THA was 70 months (7–213 months). Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed on all patients. Results: Clinically, the mean Harris hip score at the last follow-up was 88 points. Walking ability recovered to pre-injury status in 92% patients, and activities of daily living recovered in 96% patients. Radiographically, none of the acetabular cups showed evidence of migration and loosening during the mean follow-up of 50 months. All cases showed stable femoral stem fixation at the last follow-up. Dislocation occurred in three cases (12%). Conclusion: Outcomes of cementless THA after failed internal fixation for acetabular fractures were satisfactory. However, a relatively high incidence of postoperative dislocation is still a concern.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

Minimal invasive surgery has gained popularity among hip surgeons and patients. Based on early studies, the method is described as a very promising alternative, with low dislocation rates, resulting in a non-traumatic procedure and early functional return. However, complication rates arising of the recent studies raise concern about the applied technique. The aim of the study is to present the clinical results and intra- and post-operative complications of the AMIS procedure in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip, managed with total hip arthroplasty with positioning table, in a 5 years follow up. One senior hip arthroplasty surgeon performed all surgeries. Three hundred eighteen consecutive patients (195 females, 123 males) were clinically and radiologically evaluated, postoperatively 2, 6 and 12 months. Mean patient age was 69.7 years (24 to 88). There was significant improvement according to Harris-Hip Score, ODI, SF-36 scales. The mean incision length was 7.5cm (6 to 8cm). The mean operating time was calculated at 85 minutes. The patients were discharged on the second post-operative day, able to walk with partial weight bearing. One month post-operative, the patients were advised for full weight bearing walking without crutches. Intraoperative complications included two femoral perforations. Postoperative complications included two patients with femoral fractures; one with dislocation; two with superficial infections; three with wound complications; three with femoral stem aseptic loosening; one with ceramic inner fracture and two acetabular component protrusion in the same patient, among which only the last patient had reoperation in both hips. Anterior Minimal Invasive Surgery of the hip is a non-traumatic procedure, associated with reduced pain, faster recovery and no major complications, but requires higher experience level from the hip surgeon.
