Abstract Purpose: The goal of this retrospective observational study of one cohort was to evaluate the long-term outcome in patients younger than 60 years after total hip arthroplasty using a straight uncemented stem and an uncemented threaded cup. Methods: Between 1986 and 1987, 75 hips of 75 patients (mean age: 53.35±6.17 years) were consecutively implanted with an Alloclassic Zweymüller/Alloclassic SL stem and an Alloclassic CSF cup. 44 patients had died over the last 30 years. The remaining 31 patients (mean age: 82.9±6.4years) were reinvited for follow-up examinations. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were carried out. Results: At a mean follow-up of 29.5 (28.8-30.2), 4 patients (5.3%) were lost to follow up. For the endpoint aseptic loosening (defined as the removal of stem or the cup for 2 cases), the overall survival rate is 97.3%. For the endpoint revision for any reason (22 patients), the survival rate is 70.6%. Eleven patients needed an exchange of head and liner due to wear. The mean time from implantation until change of head and liner was 21.44 years (SD 5.92). Other reasons for revisons were septic loosenings (3 cases), aseptic loosening of stem and cup (1 case), aseptic loosening of stem (1 case), periprosthetic calcification (2 cases), implant fracture (1 case), periprosthetic fracture (1 case), intraoperative fissure of stem (1 case), total wear of liner including cup (1 case). Conclusion: The combination of a straight stem (Alloclassic) and a screw cup (CSF) shows excellent results in young patients under the age of 60 at ultra-longterm follow up at 30 years. Revisions due to wear of the polyethylene liner are more likely than in the older patients.

Modular Prosthesis

Abstract Purpose Although a cementless modular prosthesis has shown reliable results, cases of unstable fixation and revision due to aseptic loosening were observed in our institute. The purpose of this study was to clarify the causes of unstable fixation of the prosthesis. Methods A total of 144 patients (154 hips) who underwent total hip arthroplasty using the modular prosthesis were retrospectively investigated. For the cohort study, 97 patients (104 hips) were included. The femoral component survival rate and sleeve fixation were assessed at a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups, including stable and unstable fixation groups, by sleeve fixation. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were compared. Results The Kaplan-Meier survival rate at 9 years was 93% with revision for any reason as the endpoint in study cohort. The reasons for revision were recurrent dislocation (1 hip) and aseptic loosening of the stem (5 hips). A total of 88 hips (84.6%) showed stable fixation, and 16 hips (15.4%) showed unstable fixation at final follow-up. There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between the 2 groups at final follow-up. The canal flare index was significantly higher, and the canal filling ratio was significantly lower in the unstable fixation group. Conclusion Although the modified modular prosthesis was useful for treating anatomically difficult patients, we need to pay attention to both proximal/distal mismatch of the intramedullary canal and the canal filling ratio to achieve stable fixation and good long-term results.

Acetabular Components

Aims We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented acetabular components and assess whether any radiolucent lines (RLLs) which arose were progressive. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 170 patients who underwent 187 total hip arthroplasties at two hospitals with a minimum follow-up of ten years. All interventions were performed using the same combination of HXLPE cemented acetabular components with femoral stems made of titanium alloy. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed for the primary endpoint of acetabular component revision surgery for any reason and secondary endpoint of the appearance of RLLs. RLLs that had appeared once were observed over time. We statistically assessed potential relationships between RLLs and a number of factors, including the technique of femoral head autografting and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score. Results The mean follow-up period was 13.0 years (10.0 to 16.3). Femoral head autografting was performed on 135 hips (72.2%). One acetabular component was retrieved because of deep infection. No revision was performed for the aseptic acetabular loosening. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve for the primary and secondary endpoints were 98.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 88.6% to 99.8%) and 79.3% (95% CI 72.8% to 84.6%), respectively. RLLs were detected in 38 hips (21.2%), at a mean of 1.7 years (1 month to 6 years) postoperatively. None of the RLLs were progressive, and the presence of RLLs did not show a significant association with the survival and clinical score. RLLs were more frequently observed in hips without femoral head autografts than in those with autografts. Conclusion The use of HXLPE cemented acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes after ten years, and no RLLs were progressive, and their presence did not affect the outcome. Femoral head autografting did not negatively impact the acetabular component survival or the appearance of RLLs. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(10):1604–1610.

The Impact

Abstract BackgroundThe increase rate seen in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) for younger patients has implications for future rehabilitation demands for primary and revision THA surgery. This study aims to determine the impact of a 6-week post-operative rehabilitation program designed for THA patients ≤ 60 years on physical activity (PA) and function compared to age- and a sex-matched control group received usual postoperative care at 12-week post-THA. MethodsIn this quasi-experimental study, a cohort of THA candidates was recruited during their 6-week postoperative visit to their surgeons. The out-patient rehabilitation program consisted of 12 structured exercise classes (2 hrs/class) over 6 weeks. Physical activity was assessed using Sense Wear Pro ArmbandTM [SWA]. Participants completed the Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), and THA satisfaction questionnaire before and immediately after the intervention. ResultsThe intervention group took significantly more steps/day at the follow-up compared to baseline. The intervention group had a higher mean change in the number of weekly PA bouts than the control group. Within the intervention groups, all HOOS subscales were significantly higher at the follow-up compared to baseline. ConclusionThe augmented rehabilitation program may have immediate effects on pain relief and symptom reduction for patients (≤60 years) following THA.

Revision Stem

Aseptic loosening in total hip arthroplasty can lead to proximal femoral periprosthetic bone loss. The non-cemented Wagner revision stem achieves primary fixation in the diaphysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results after medium- to long-term follow-up of the Wagner prosthesis for revision of the femoral component for aseptic loosening in total hip arthroplasty with proximal femoral bone loss. We performed 53 femoral revisions for aseptic loosening with the non-cemented Wagner revision stem. Clinical assessment included a modified Harris Hip Score and a radiological evaluation. The mean follow-up was 65 months. The Harris Hip Score improved significantly (42.9 to 72.3). Radiological evaluation revealed 24.5% subsidence (>5 mm) in our population. Nine re-revisions were done, eight in the first post-operative year. The re-revisions were performed for progressive subsidence (five), recurrent dislocations (one), subsidence with low-grade infection (one), false route (one), and aseptic loosening after 75 months (one). The cumulative survival rate of the Wagner stem after 12 months was 85% and 76% after 75 months. A relatively high re-revision rate was observed during the first post-operative year. Analysis of these failures has shown that subsidence may be the result of insufficient primary stability. Adequate pre-operative planning and intra-operative radiological assistance is necessary for perfect primary stability and fixation of the Wagner stem. The re-revision incidence after the first 12 months is 0.45 per 100 implants per year. The prosthesis has good survival potential after proper introduction.
