Aims The consensus is that bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) in allograft-prosthesis composite (APC) reconstruction of the proximal femur following primary tumour resection provides more stability than total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, no comparative study has been performed. In this study, we have compared the outcome and complication rates of these two methods. Methods In a retrospective study, 57 patients who underwent APC reconstruction of proximal femur following the primary tumour resection, either using BHA (29) or THA (28), were included. Functional outcome was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Tumour Society (MSTS) scoring system and Harris Hip Score (HHS). Postoperative complications of the two techniques were also compared. Results The mean follow-up of the patients was 8.3 years (standard deviation (SD) 5.5) in the BHA and 6.9 years (SD 4.7) in the THA group. The mean HHS was 65 (SD 16.6) in the BHA group and 88 (SD 11.9) in the THA group (p = 0.036). The mean MSTS score of the patients was 73.3% (SD 16.1%) in the BHA and 86.7% (SD 12.2%) in the THA group (p = 0.041). Limping was recorded in 19 patients (65.5%) of the BHA group and five patients (17.8%) of the THA group (p < 0.001). Dislocation occurred in three patients (10.3%) of the BHA group and two patients (7.1%) of the THA group. Conclusion While the dislocation rate was not higher in THA than with BHA, the functional outcome was significantly superior. Based on our results, we recommend THA in APC reconstruction of the proximal femur. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(4):524–529.

Background: Prior investigations have shown a decrease in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) of the calcar following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this investigation was to study proximal femur BMD in a cohort of young, active patients following THA at 1 year postoperatively using a recently introduced stem design. Methods: This was a prospective, IRB-approved investigation of patients with an age <65 years, BMI <35 kg/m2, and presymptomatic UCLA score of >6 undergoing a primary THA for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. All patients received a titanium, proximally coated, tapered cementless femoral stem (ACCOLADE II, Stryker Inc, Mahwah, NJ, USA). Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scans were performed at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Bone density was analyzed for 7 traditional Gruen zones with BMD ratios calculated for change in BMD compared with the baseline. Results: 31 patients (mean age of 52.6 + 6.5 years, BMI of 27.9 + 3.9 kg/m2, and UCLA activity score of 7.3 + 1.9) were included. The mean BMD ratio decreased at the 6 months and 1 year interval in zones 1 and 2. However, the mean BMD ratio was maintained in Gruen zones 3 thru 7 with zone 7 (medial calcar) demonstrating 100% maintenance of the baseline BMD at 1 year. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the maintenance of medial calcar bone density at 1 year postoperatively in young, active patients undergoing THA. Further longitudinal analysis of this stem design is necessary to elucidate the significance of this finding.

Abstract Background Although hip arthroplasty has become increasingly common, its radiological and clinical outcomes in chronic renal failure patients remain unclear. This study analyzed the outcomes of hip arthroplasty in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis. Methods Of 2,364 hips undergoing total hip arthroplasty or bipolar hemiarthroplasty between January 2003 and December 2017, data pertaining of 37 hips of patients with chronic renal failure undergoing dialysis (16 men, 21 women) were retrospectively examined. We analyzed the radiological and clinical outcomes of hip arthroplasty, as well as the occurrence of local and general complications (particularly the time of their occurrence) during follow-up and their association with dialysis duration. Results The mean patient age was 60.6 ± 13.5 years, and the mean follow-up duration was 36.6 ± 27.2 months. The mean T-value indicating bone mineral density was -2.62 ± 1.15, with osteoporosis noted in 20 cases. Except for 1 case with infection-induced change in acetabular cup tilt, all cases of total hip arthroplasty with cementless acetabular cup implant exhibited excellent radiographic outcomes. The cementless proximally coated femoral stem was used in all 25 cases of total hip arthroplasty and 7 out of 12 cases of bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Changes in the alignment of femoral stems, subsidence, osteolysis, and loosening were not observed. On clinical assessment, 33 patients received an “excellent” or “good” Harris hip score. Within 1 year postoperatively, complications developed in 18 patients, and some patients exhibited more than 1 complication. More than 1 year after surgery, general complications developed in 12 patients; however, no patient experienced local complications.Conclusions Hip arthroplasty in chronic renal failure patients on dialysis showed excellent radiological and satisfactory clinical outcomes; however, it may be associated with various postoperative complications. Therefore, meticulous preoperative treatment planning and overall postoperative management are required to reduce the risk of complications.

Aims Complex total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy is necessary in conditions other than developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and septic arthritis sequelae with significant proximal femur migration. Our aim was to evaluate the hip centre restoration with THAs in these hips. Methods In all, 27 THAs in 25 patients requiring THA with femoral shortening between 2012 and 2019 were assessed. Bilateral shortening was required in two patients. Subtrochanteric shortening was required in 14 out of 27 hips (51.9%) with aetiology other than DDH or septic arthritis. Vertical centre of rotation (VCOR), horizontal centre of rotation, offset, and functional outcome was calculated. The mean followup was 24.4 months (5 to 92 months). Results The mean VCOR was 17.43 mm (9.5 to 27 mm) and horizontal centre of rotation (HCOR) was 24.79 mm (17.2 to 37.6 mm). Dislocation at three months following acetabulum reconstruction required femoral shortening for offset correction and hip centre restoration in one hip. Mean horizontal offset was 39.72 (32.7 to 48.2 mm) compared to 42.89 (26.7 to 50.6 mm) on the normal side. Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) of 22.64 (14 to 35) improved to 79.43 (68 to 92). Mean pre-operative shortening was 3.95 cm (2 to 8 cm). Residual limb length discrepancy was 1.5 cm (0 to 2 cm). Sciatic neuropraxia in two patients recovered by six months, and femoral neuropraxia in one hip recovered by 12 months. Mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) was 13.92 (9 to 19). Mean 12-item short form survey (SF-12) physical scores of 50.6 and mental of 60.12 were obtained. Conclusion THA with subtrochanteric shortening is valuable in complex hips with high dislocation. The restoration of the hip centre of rotation and offset is important in these hips. Level of evidence IV Femoral shortening useful in conditions other than DDH and septic sequelae. Restoration of hip centre combined with offset to be planned and ensured.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies on the etiology of femoral head necrosis. We retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral in the period of 2010-2015. We recorded a total of 230 cases diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, group was composed of 65.7% men and 34.3% women, risk factors identified was 19.13% (post-traumatic), 13.91% (glucocorticoids), 26.52% (alcohol), 3.47% (another cause) and in 36 95% of the cases no risk factors were found. The results of the study based on the type of surgery performed on the basis of stages of disease progression, 8 patients (3.48%) benefited from osteotomy, 28 patients (12.17%) benefited of bipolar hemiarthroplasty prosthesis and 188 patients (81.74%) benefited of total hip arthroplasty. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is characteristic to young patients between the age of 30-50 years old. Predisposing factors, alcohol and corticosteroid therapy remains an important cause of the disease. Total hip arthroplasty remains the best option for the patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Introduction: Outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly popular. This meta-analysis investigated the potential advantages of outpatient regimes for THA. Methods: This study followed the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase, and Scopus databases were accessed in June 2021. All clinical studies investigating outpatient THA were considered. The outcomes of interest were pain, infection, mortality, revision, dislocation, readmission rates, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Results: Data from 102,839 patients were included. A total of 52% (153,168 of 102,839 patients) were women. The mean age of patients was 62.6 ± 4.6 years, the mean BMI was 29.1 ± 1.8 kg/m2. Good comparability was found in age, BMI, and gender (p > 0.1). No difference was found in pain (p = 0.4), infections (p = 0.9), mortality (p = 0.9), rate of revision (p = 0.1), dislocation (p = 0.9), and readmission (p = 0.8). The outpatient group demonstrated a greater rate of DVT (OR 3.57; 95% CI 2.47 to 5.18; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: In selected patients, outpatient THA can be performed safely with optimal outcomes comparable with inpatient THA. Clear and comprehensive pre-operative planning should involve a multi-disciplinary group composed of orthopaedic surgeons, anaesthesia and rehabilitation specialists, and physiotherapists. Each centre performing outpatient THA should implement continuous homecoming welfare activity, to supervise physiotherapy and monitor anticoagulant therapy.

AbstractPreoperative templating for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is fraught with uncertainty. Specifically, the conventional measurement of the lesser trochanter to the center (LTC) of the femoral head used in preoperative planning is easily measured on a template but not measurable intraoperatively. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of a novel measurement that is reproducible both on templating and in surgery as a more accurate and practical guide. We retrospectively reviewed 201 patients with a history of osteoarthritis who underwent primary THA. For preoperative templating, the distance from the top of the lesser trochanter to the equator (LeTE) of the femoral head was measured on a calibrated digital radiograph with a neutral pelvis. This measurement was used intraoperatively to guide the choice of the trial neck and head. As with any templating technique, the goal was to construct a stable, impingement-free THA with equivalent leg lengths and hip offset. In evaluating this novel templating technique, the primary outcomes measured were the number of trial reductions and the amount of fluoroscopic time, exposures, and radiation required to obtain a balanced THA reconstruction. Using the LeTE measurement, the mean number of trial reductions was 1.21, the mean number of intraoperative fluoroscopy images taken was 2.63, the mean dose of radiation exposure from fluoroscopy was 0.02 mGy, and the mean fluoroscopy time per procedure was 0.6 seconds. In hips templated with the conventional LTC prior to the LeTE, the mean fluoroscopy time was 0.9 seconds. There was a statistically significant difference in fluoroscopy time (p < 0.001). The LeTE is a reproducible measurement that transfers reliably from digital templating to surgery. This novel preoperative templating metric reduces the fluoroscopy time and consequent radiation exposure to the surgical team and may minimize the number of trial reductions.
