Abstract Background: The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPath) was proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing with possible superior postoperative outcomes to traditional approaches of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Here, we compared the short-term outcomes of staged THA with the SuperPath or through posterolateral approach (PLA) for bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods: Patients with bilateral late-stage ONFH were prospectively recruited from our department during March 2017 to March 2018. Staged bilateral THAs with one side SuperPath and the other side PLA were performed consecutively in the same patients with right and left hips alternating within groups. The average time interval between the staged THAs was 3 months. Perioperative status (operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay) and postoperative function (range of motion, pain, and hip function) were recorded and compared between the SuperPath and PLA groups within 12-month postoperatively. Results: Four male patients (age, 51.00 ± 4.54; BMI, 21.49 ± 1.73) with bilateral alcohol-induced ONFH (Ficat III/IV) were followed up over 12 months postoperatively. Compared with the PLA, the SuperPath yielded significantly shorter incision length (7.62 vs. 11.12 cm, P = 0.049), longer operation time (103.25 vs. 66.50 min, P = 0.034), more blood loss (1108.50 vs. 843.50 ml, P = 0.023), deficient acetabular cup positioning (abduction angle, 38.75° vs. 44.50°, P = 0.035), and inferior early-term hip function (Harris hip score, 72.50 vs. 83.25, P = 0.025) at 12-month postoperatively. However, soft tissue damage, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, postoperative range of motion, and 12-month patient satisfaction were comparable between both groups. Conclusions: The SuperPath might not be truly minimal invasive with advantages over the PLA for total hip arthroplasty in osteonecrosis of the femoral head. More investigations are required to provide convincing favorable evidences of the SuperPath over other traditional THA approaches.

The average time interval between the staged THAs was 3 months. Perioperative status (operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay) and postoperative function (range of motion, pain, and hip function) were recorded and compared between the SuperPath and PLA approaches within 12-month postoperatively.

Compared with the PLA, the SuperPath yielded shorter incision length (7.62 vs. 11.12 cm), longer operation time (103.25 vs. 66.50 min), more blood loss (1108.50 vs. 843.50 ml), deficient abduction angle of the acetabular cup (38.75° vs. 44.50°), and inferior early-term hip function (Harris hip score, 72.50 vs. 83.25) at 12-month postoperatively. Soft tissue damage, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, postoperative range of motion, and 12-month patient satisfaction were comparable between both approaches. Conclusion The SuperPath may be a minimally invasive technique but the present study shows less favorable short-term outcomes than PLA for total hip arthroplasty in osteonecrosis of the femoral head. More investigations are required to provide convincing favorable evidences of the SuperPath over other traditional THA approaches.

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.

Abstract BackgroundLess invasive hip-preserving surgery (LIHP) is an effective treatment in delaying total hip arthroplasty (THA) for young patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). But the success rate of it was not as effective as expected and were significantly reduced with the advancement of the diseases stages. Therefore, it is essential to analysis the impact of LIHP on subsequent THA.MethodsThe search language was restricted to Chinese and English, and the references of included studies were also searched. Chinese databases including CNKI, Wan-Fang databases and VIP, and English databases including PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were searched by the computer from the inception of each database to 23rd May 2021. The outcome indicators were extracted from the included literature and analyzed by Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.4). The quality of the studies was scored using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS).ResultsA total of nine articles met the inclusion and were included in this meta-analysis, two of them were published in Chinese and the remaining studies were published in English. Results showed that the LIHP group has longer operative time (SMD=17.31, 95%CI=6.29 to 28.32, p=0.002), more intraoperative blood loss (SMD=79.90, 95%CI=13.92 to 145.87, p=0.02) and higher rate of varus or valgus femoral stem (OR=4.17, 95%CI=1.18 to 14.71, p=0.03) compared to primary THA group. The risk of intraoperative fracture was higher in the prior LIHP THA group compared with primary THA group but the difference was not statistically significant (OR=5.88, 95%CI=0.93 to 37.05, p=0.06). While there was no significant difference in cup anteversion angle (SMD=-0.10, 95%CI=-0.61 to 0.41, p=0.70), cup inclination angle (SMD=0.58, 95%CI=-0.05 to 1.22, p=0.07), postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) (SMD=-0.01, 95%CI=-0.43 to 0.46, p=0.96) and survivorship (OR=1.38, 95%CI=0.34 to 5.55, p=0.65) between THA groups with and without prior LIHP.ConclusionAlthough the prior LIHP increased the difficulty of the conversion to THA with longer operative time, more intraoperative blood loss, and higher rate of intraoperative fracture, it does not detrimentally affect the clinical results of subsequent THA in the mid-term following-up.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. Some concern exists that trainee-performed THA may adversely affect patient outcomes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare outcomes following THA performed by surgical trainees and consultant surgeons. A systematic search was performed to identify articles comparing outcomes following trainee- versus consultant-performed THA. Outcomes assessed included rate of revision surgery, dislocation, deep infection, mean operation time, length of hospital stay and Harris Hip Score (HHS) up to one year. A meta-analysis was conducted using odds ratios (ORs) and weighted mean differences (WMDs). A subgroup analysis for supervised trainees versus consultants was also performed. The final analysis included seven non-randomized studies of 40 810 THAs, of which 6393 (15.7%) were performed by trainees and 34 417 (84.3%) were performed by consultants. In total, 5651 (88.4%) THAs in the trainee group were performed under supervision. There was no significant difference in revision rate between the trainee and consultant groups (OR 1.09; p = 0.51). Trainees took significantly longer to perform THA compared with consultants (WMD 12.9; p < 0.01). The trainee group was associated with a lower HHS at one year compared with consultants (WMD -1.26; p < 0.01). There was no difference in rate of dislocation, deep infection or length of hospital stay between the two groups. The present study suggests that supervised trainees can achieve similar clinical outcomes to consultant surgeons, with a slightly longer operation time. In selected patients, trainee-performed THA is safe and effective. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2019;4:44-55. DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.4.180034.

The use of larger femoral head size in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased during the past decade; 32 mm and 36 mm are the most commonly used femoral head sizes, as reported by several arthroplasty registries. The use of large femoral heads seems to be a trade-off between increased stability and decreased THA survivorship. We reviewed the literature, mainly focussing on the past 5 years, identifying benefits and complications associated with the trend of using larger femoral heads in THA. We found that there is no benefit in hip range of movement or hip function when head sizes > 36 mm are used. The risk of revision due to dislocation is lower for 36 mm or larger bearings compared with 28 mm or smaller and probably even with 32 mm. Volumetric wear and frictional torque are increased in bearings bigger than 32 mm compared with 32 mm or smaller in metal-on-cross-linked polyethylene (MoXLPE) THA, but not in ceramic-on-XLPE (CoXLPE). Long-term THA survivorship is improved for 32 mm MoXLPE bearings compared with both larger and smaller ones. We recommend a 32 mm femoral head if MoXLPE bearings are used. In hips operated on with larger bearings the use of ceramic heads on XLPE appears to be safer. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2018;3 DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.3.170061.
