Abstract Full-quantitative characterization has not been performed to analyze changes in the hammering sound in cementless hip arthroplasty. We analyzed the frequency spectrum of the hammering sound during stem insertion for 20 cases of uncomplicated cementless total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis using a proximal-coated stem. The absolute sound pressure (Pa) and normalized sound pressure of each frequency bands in early and late stage of femoral stem insertion were determined by the Fast Fourier Transform analysis. The absolute sound pressures (Pa) of a majority of frequency bands was significantly higher in the late-stage stem insertion than in the early stage The 1.0–1.5-kHz frequency band showed a significant change in normalized sound pressure in all cases between the early and late stages of stem insertion (p=0.000). The femoral morphology and canal fill ratio were correlated with late stage normalized sound pressure in specific frequency bands. In the 5.0–5.5 kHz band, the Dorr A femoral morphology was significantly higher normalized sound pressure than those in the Dorr B (p=0.004). This study revealed the hammering sound frequency with full-quantitative value altered during cementless stem insertion. Frequency bands of 1.0–1.5 kHz, 5.0–5.5 kHz were the key bands for predicting stem fixation.

Two-dimensional (2D) planning on standard radiographs for total hip arthroplasty may not be sufficiently accurate to predict implant sizing or restore leg length and femoral offset, whereas 3D planning avoids magnification and projection errors. Furthermore, weightbearing measures are not available with computed tomography (CT) and leg length and offset are rarely checked postoperatively using any imaging modality. Navigation can usually achieve a surgical plan precisely, but the choice of that plan remains key, which is best guided by preoperative planning. The study objectives were therefore to (1) evaluate the accuracy of stem/cup size prediction using dedicated 3D planning software based on biplanar radiographic imaging under weightbearing and (2) compare the preplanned leg length and femoral offset with the postoperative result. This single-centre, single-surgeon prospective study consisted of a cohort of 33 patients operated on over 24 months. The routine clinical workflow consisted of preoperative biplanar weightbearing imaging, 3D surgical planning, navigated surgery to execute the plan, and postoperative biplanar imaging to verify the radiological outcomes in 3D weightbearing. 3D planning was performed with the dedicated hipEOS® planning software to determine stem and cup size and position, plus 3D anatomical and functional parameters, in particular variations in leg length and femoral offset. Component size planning accuracy was 94% (31/33) within one size for the femoral stem and 100% (33/33) within one size for the acetabular cup. There were no significant differences between planned versus implanted femoral stem size or planned versus measured changes in leg length or offset. Cup size did differ significantly, tending towards implanting one size larger when there was a difference. Biplanar radiographs plus hipEOS planning software showed good reliability for predicting implant size, leg length, and femoral offset and postoperatively provided a check on the navigated surgery. Compared to previous studies, the predictive results were better than 2D planning on conventional radiography and equal to 3D planning on CT images, with lower radiation dose, and in the weightbearing position.

Abstract Aim The length of the femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a practical consideration to prevent gait impairment. The aim of this study was to determine if reducing the femoral stem length in THA would lead to impaired gait biomechanics. Methods Patients uniformly with the same brand implant of differing lengths (100 mm vs 140–166 mm) were taken retrospectively from a prospective trial introducing a new short stem. Twelve patients without any other disorder to alter gait besides contralateral differing length stem THA were tested at differing gradients and speed on a validated instrumented treadmill measuring ground reaction forces. An anthropometrically similar group of healthy controls were analysed to compare. Results With the same posterior surgical approach, the offset and length of both hips were reconstructed within 5 mm of each other with an identical mean head size of 36 mm. The short stem was the last procedure for all the hips with gait analysis occurring at a mean of 31 and 79 months postoperatively for the short and long stem THA, respectively. Gait analysis between limbs of both stem lengths demonstrated no statistical difference during any walking condition. In the 90 gait assessments with three loading variables, the short stem was the favoured side 51% of the time compared 49% for the long stem. Conclusion By testing a range of practical walking activities, no lower limb loading differences can be observed by reducing the femoral stem length. A shorter stem demonstrates equivalence in preference during gait when compared to a reputable conventional stem in total hip arthroplasty.

The present concepts in Total Hip Arthroplasty advocate mechanical cement interlock with trabecular bone utilising the third-generation cementing technique. However, the force generated can easily reach peak pressure of 122 kPa to 1500 kPa, leading to extrusion of cement through nutrient foramina into femoral cortex into nutrient vessels, henceforth the retrograde arteriovenogram. A 76 years old lady who premorbid ADLindependent had a fall and sustained a closed right neck of femur fracture. She underwent cemented right total hip arthroplasty. Acetabulum cup of 47mm and femoral stem size 1 was utilized. Femoral canal was prepared and medullary cavity plug inserted before retrograde cement was introduced using the cementing gun. Intraoperative no complications were noted. This case has been followed up to a year with no adverse effect. The post-operative radiograph demonstrated a linear radio-opacity communicating with the posterior aspect of the femoral shaft which continues proximally and medially for approximately 10cm. Its uniformity in shape and position corresponds to the vascular supply of proximal femur. In Farouk et al cadaveric study, nutrient vessel arises in 166 ± 10 mm from the greater trochanter and is a branch of the second perforating artery from the deep femoral artery. Knight et al infer that retrograde cement extrusion occurs in female patients with small stature and small endosteal canal. Cement extrusion unlikely will influence the long haul survival of prosthesis as shown in the radiograph that cement is well pressurized to interlock with the endosteal bone. Moreover, because of extensive anastomoses of perforating branches of the deep femoral artery, segmental obliteration of nutrient artery alone is unlikely to lead to vascularity issues. Cement extrusion into the nutrient foramen is a vital differential in presence of posterior medial cement in the diaphysis of the femur following total hip replacement. This is to differentiate from extra osseous extrusions due to the iatrogenic breach of the femoral cortex suggesting periprosthetic fracture which affects the long term survival of prosthesis.

Abstract Background Placement of femoral stem in excessive anteversion or retroversion can cause reduced range of motion, prosthetic impingement, and dislocation. The aim of this study was to assess the operative femoral anteversion in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and analyze the need of adjusting stem anteversion. Methods We retrospectively included 101 patients (126 hips) who underwent cementless THA with a manual goniometer to determine the femoral anteversion between October 2017 and December 2018. The operative femoral anteversion we measured was recorded during THA. We further divided those hips into three subgroups based on the range of operative femoral anteversion: group 1 (<10°), group 2 (10–30°), and group 3 (>30°) and compared the differences of their demographic data. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the influencing factors for the need of neck-adjustable femoral stem. The clinical and radiographic outcomes were also assessed. Perioperative complications were recorded. Results After THA, the Harris hip scores improved from 52.87 ± 15.30 preoperatively to 90.04 ± 3.31 at the last follow-up (p < 0.001). No implant loosening, stem subsidence, and radiolucent lines were observed on radiographs. No severe complications occurred and no components needed revision at the latest follow-up. The mean operative femoral anteversion was 14.21° ± 11.80° (range, −9 to 60°). Patients with femoral anteversion more than 30° were about 10 years younger than others. Femoral anteversion >30° was more common in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). There were totally 14 hips treated with the neck-adjustable femoral stem. From the univariate analysis, we can observe that female sex, diagnosis of DDH (compared with osteonecrosis), and higher operative femoral anteversion and its value >30° (compared with <10°) are associated with higher rates of using the neck-adjustable femoral stem. However, all these factors were no longer considered as independent influencing factors when mixed with other factors. Conclusions This study highlighted the significance of operative femoral anteversion. Identification of abnormal femoral anteversion could assist in adjusting stem anteversion and reduce the risk of dislocation after THA.
