Abstract Background: At present, it is unclear which device (uncemented or cemented total hip arthroplasty [UTA or CTA, respectively]) is more suitable for the conversion of a failed proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA). The aim of this review was to assess the outcomes of failed PFNAs converted to a UTA or CTA device in elderly individuals with intertrochanteric femoral fractures (IFFs).Methods: Two hundred fifty-eight elderly individuals (258 hips) with IFFs who underwent a conversion to a UTA or CTA device following failed PFNAs during 2007-2017 were retrospectively identified from the China Southern Medical Centre (CSMC) database. The primary endpoint was the Harris Hip Score (HHS); secondary endpoint was the key orthopaedic complication rate.Results: The median follow-up was 65 months (60-69 months). Significant distinctions were observed (87.26±16.62 for UTA vs. 89.32±16.08 for CTA, p=0.021; 86.61±12.24 for symptomatic UTA vs. 88.68±13.30 for symptomatic CTA, p=0.026). A significant difference in the overall key orthopaedic complication rate was detected (40.8% [40/98] vs. 19.0% [19/100], p=0.001). Apparent distinctions were detected in terms of the rate of revision, loosening, and periprosthetic fracture (11.2% for UTA vs 3.0% for CTA, p = 0.025; 13.2% for UTA vs 5.0% for CTA, p = 0.043; 10.2% for UTA vs 3.0% for CTA, p = 0.041, respectively).Conclusion: For elderly individuals with IFFs who suffered a failed PFNA, CTA devices seem to have a noteworthy advantage in regard to functional scores and the rate of key orthopaedic complications compared with UTA devices, and CTA revision should be performed as soon as possible, regardless of whether these individuals have symptoms.

Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract Background: Cemented or uncemented total hip arthroplasty (CTHA or UTHA) is being increasingly performed in patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures (IFFs) who failed to be treated with proximal femoral nail anti-rotations (PFNA) fixation. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of CTHA or UTHA following prior failed PFNA fixation in patients with IFFs.Methods: Data from 244 patients with IFFs who underwent a conversion of PFNA to CTHA (PCA, n =120) or to UTHA (PUA, n = 124) due to pain and hip disfunction during 2008-2018 were retrospectively analysed. Follow-up occurred 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and yearly thereafter. The mean follow-up was 64 months (range, 57 – 71 months). The Harris hip score (HHS) was the primary outcome; the incidence of major orthopaedic complications was the secondary outcome.Results: At the final follow-up, HHS was 79.54±18.85 vs 75.26±18.27 (PCA vs PUA, p = 0.014). There were significant differences between groups regarding the incidence of prosthesis revision, prosthesis loosening, and periprosthetic fracture (5.8% for PCA vs 14.5% for PUA, p = 0.025; 10.0% for PCA vs 20.1% for PUA, p = 0.027; 3.3% for PCA vs 10.5% for PUA, p = 0.028, respectively). Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated a significant advantage with respect to HHS and major orthopaedic complication rate in favor of CTHA, as compared to UTHA in patients with a failed PFNA treatment.

Fibular Grafting

ABSTRACT Background Vascularized fibular grafting has been reported as a successful joint preserving surgery for patients with femoral head osteonecrosis. Few reports exist regarding the outcomes associated with total hip arthroplasty after failed vascularized fibular grafting. This study aims to highlight the early results and complications associated with this procedure. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed charts and radiographs of 30 patients (38 hips) who underwent conversion of prior vascularized fibular grafting to an uncemented total hip arthroplasty utilizing modern bearings (highly cross-linked polyethylene-on-metal or metal-on-metal). Mean follow-up was 41 months. A control group of 15 osteonecrosis patients (19 hips) was used who had a history of total hip arthroplasty without previous surgery. Outcome measures used were perioperative complications, clinical and radiological findings. Results The prior vascularized fibular grafting group had longer surgical times and more perioperative complications (calcar fracture and persistent wound drainage requiring early reoperation). In the prior vascularized fibular grafting group there were two cases requiring revision for aseptic loosening (one femoral and one acetabular component) and three cases of asymptomatic radiographic loosening (two femoral and one acetabular component). Furthermore, three patients reported symptoms of trochanteric bursitis. None of the above complications were seen in the control group. There was one dislocation in each group; and both were treated successfully with closed reduction. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the final postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS). Conclusion Despite an increased complication rate, comparable clinical outcomes can be expected after conversion of vascularized fibular grafting to total hip arthroplasty.

Functional Scores

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for high-riding hips is a complex procedure and the requirement for subtrochanteric osteotomy (STO) is an important decision that needs to be taken preoperatively. STO renders this complex surgery even more complicated and there are no guidelines to determine the STO requirement. In this study, the outcomes of THA for patients with high-riding hips were evaluated and a practical classification system is proposed to predict any osteotomy requirement. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was made of 79 hips of 76 patients who underwent THA for high-riding hip dysplasia. The amount of shortening in patients with STO and in patients without STO was compared. All patients were evaluated in respect of Harris hip score, operating time, erythrocyte suspension need, and actual limb length discrepancy. Preoperative radiographs were classified into four types according to the ratio of the distance between the lesser trochanter and the ischial tuberosity with pelvic height (LT-IT/P) to grade the degree of dislocation. Results: The mean follow-up was 30 ± 6.54 months. STO was applied to 47 (60%) hips and not to 32 (40%). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in respect of the functional scores. STO prolonged the operating time and increased the need for blood transfusion ( p = 0.026, p < 0.001, respectively). When the LT-IT/P index was <0.19 (type 1), no additional surgical approach was required for reduction, at 0.19–0.29 (type 2), the head can be safely reduced with additional reduction methods, and when >0.3 (type 3), a shortening osteotomy will most likely be required. The rate of complications is increased if LT-IT/P is >0.4 (type 4). Conclusion: STO adjunct to THA increases the rate of complications. This practical classification system may guide the surgeon in the decision of whether an STO should be added to the procedure or not. Level of evidence: Level III, clinical trial

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.

The current study was conducted to compare the therapeutic effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) and artificial total hip arthroplasty (THA) on elderly Chinese patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture combined with severe osteoporosis. There were 60 people in each group. The duration of surgery, blood loss, and weight-bearing period when standing on the floor were compared between the two groups (P > 0.05). Harries function scores of both groups increased over time. Scores of THA group were significantly higher than those of PFNA-II group during six- and twelve-months follow-up visit (P < 0.05). In addition, excellent and good rates of hip joint function in THA group were higher than those of PFNA-II group during twelve-month follow-up visit (P < 0.05). The occurrence rates of follow-up complications in both groups showed no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Thus, both PFNA-II and THA have good effects on Chinese elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture combined with severe osteoporosis.
