The aim of this study was to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver variability in determining the socket version using the wire marker. 100 anteroposterior pelvis radiographs of cemented primary total hip replacements were reviewed by two orthopaedic consultants and registrars, twice. Intrarater and interrater reliability were assessed using Cohen’s kappa. Intrarater kappas for junior doctors were 0.78 and 0.80, 0.73 and 0.62 for Consultants. Interrater kappas were 0.60 between the two Consultants and 0.63 between the two Junior Doctors. The kappas between Consultant A and Junior Doctor A was 0.61, between Consultant A and Junior Doctor B was 0.59, between Consultant B and Junior Doctor A was 0.53 and between Consultant B and Junior Doctor B was 0.46. Intrarater reliability was substantial for the two junior doctors and the two consultants. Interrater reliability was moderate-to-substantial between the two consultants, between the two junior doctors and between each pair of junior doctors/consultants.

Total hip replacement (THR) has been one of the main choices in treating dysplasia and other disabling conditions of the coxofemoral joint of large-breed dogs. Quantitative data of the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of the native normal acetabulum will be helpful for better design and implantation of prosthetic components. However, 3D orientation and morphological parameters of the native acetabulum in large-breed dogs are rarely reported. The purposes of the study were to measure the values of the 3D morphological parameters of the native acetabulum in Labrador Retriever dogs, namely acetabular orientation in relation to the pelvis, as well as the radius, angle between ventral and dorsal rims, and the distance from the center to the dorsal rim of the acetabulum using a 3D CT-derived model. The data will be useful for developing a more accurate guideline for improving current THR designs and for more accurate placement of the acetabulum component during THR surgery.

The paper reports on the incidence of fracture of the femoral component of total hip replacements in patients at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital over the period 1963-1976. The average incidence of fracture was approximately 0.2 per cent per year for air melt air cast cobalt chrome components. For vacuum melt vacuum cast components there were no fractures, but because of the small number of insertions with a long follow-up period, this result could have been fortuitous. There was a suggestion that the fracture rate increased with time, but even 0.2 per cent is considered too high.

INTRODUCTION This paper describes, for the first time, the outcomes of patients undergoing total hip replacement for acute fractured neck of femur (#NOF) as recorded by the National Joint Registry of England and Wales (NJR). METHODS In the NJR we identified 1,302 of 157,232 Hospital Episode Statistics linked patients who had been recorded as having a total hip replacement for acute #NOF between April 2003 and November 2008. RESULTS The revision rate at five years for fully uncemented components was 4.1% (95% confidence interval [Cl]: 2.2-7.3%), for hybrid it was 2.2% (95% Cl: 0.9%-5.3%) and for fully cemented components 0.9% (95% Cl: 0.4-2.0%). Five-year revision rates were increased for those whose operations were performed via a posterior versus a lateral approach. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of 30-day mortality was 1.4% (95% Cl: 1.0-2.4%), which is over double the 30-day mortality rate for total hip replacement identified by the Office for National Statistics. The mean length of stay was also increased for those undergoing total hip replacements for #NOF compared with non-emergency indications. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that total hip replacements for acute #NOF give comparable results with total hip replacements for other indications.

Introduction: Total hip replacement is one of the most widely performed and amongst the most successful orthopedic procedures performed worldwide. Even though it is a common orthopedic procedure in developed nations, it is performed only in selected centers in Nepal.  This study will review the functional outcome of total hip replacements carried out in Shree Birendra Hospital. Methods: We reviewed the records of total hip replacements, which were carried out in Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu. Twenty-one hips were cemented and nineteen were uncemented.  Cases were followed up in six weeks, twelve weeks, six months and every year from then on. Outcome in terms of Harris hip score of 40 osteoarthritic hips were measured pre-operatively as well as post-operatively. Results: The mean age of the patients was 50.63 years (range 22-79 years). The commonest reason for the replacement was primary osteoarthritis of the hip. Thirty-nine patients underwent unilateral total hip replacement while in one patient both hips were replaced. The mean Harris hip score for the forty hips that were available at the latest follow-up examination at an average of five years (range two to six and a half years) after the operation was 85.2 ± 7.65 points as compared to the pre-operative mean Harris hip score of 32.38 ± 3.4. Conclusions: Based on improved Harris hip scores, we believe that THR is a good option in patients with end stage arthritis of the hip.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to quantify the complications using the Zurich total hip replacement system in an initial series of cases performed by a single surgeon who had experience with other total hip replacement systems. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study in which complications were classified as major if any treatment was needed or if the outcome was less than near-normal function. Complications that did not warrant treatment and that did not result in function that was inferior to near-normal were considered minor. Outcomes were assessed by radiographic review, physical examination, subjective gait evaluation or, in one case, by objective gait analysis. Bilateral total hip replacements were considered separate procedures. Results The first 21 procedures in 19 dogs performed by a single surgeon were included. The mean time to follow-up was 48 weeks (range: 8–120 weeks; standard deviation: 36 weeks). Two cases (of 21) experienced major complications including one dog with excess internal femoral rotation during weight bearing and one dog having luxation. One case (of 21) had a minor complication; femoral fracture in the presence of an intact bone plate that maintained alignment and healed without treatment. Clinical Significance A high rate of successful outcomes with few major complications can be obtained in the initial cases treated using the Zurich total hip replacement system for surgeons with prior experience with other total hip replacement systems.

Abstract Total hip replacements have been performed in the UK since the 1960s, with over 280000 primary hip replacements being conducted between January 2017 – December 2019. The formation of pseudotumours is an uncommon and an unusual long-term complication of total hip replacements. Formed by galvanic corrosion of the metal prosthesis, patients can display an array of symptoms. We herein report a rare presentation of unilateral leg oedema in an elderly female, mimicking deep vein thrombosis. Despite normal metal ion levels, radiological investigations revealed an irregular cystic mass extending into the iliac fossa compressing the neurovascular bundle in the groin. The patient underwent complex revision hip surgery with dual mobility hip replacement and an Exeter stem with excision of the pseudotumour. This case highlights the importance of appropriate workup for these patients and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team.

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend treating displaced femoral neck fractures with a total hip replacement in fit and active elderly patients. Dislocation remains the main complication. Dual-mobility cup (DMC) hip replacements maybe a solution to decrease dislocation, with the benefit of increasing stability, achieving better range of motion and functional outcomes. Patients and methods: This is a prospective randomised controlled trial which included 62 patients with Garden III and IV femoral neck fractures. The mean age was 67.2 years. 30 males and 32 females were included, randomised and allocated to 2 treatment groups; a cemented DMC replacement group, or a cemented 32-mm head total hip replacement (THR). The posterior approach was used in all patients. Postoperative functional outcome was assessed using Harris Hip Score (HHS). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results: The mean HHS for the DMC group at 4, 6 and 12 months were higher than mean HHS scores for the THR group ( p < 0.001). The range of motion at 1 year was statistically better in the DMC group compared to the THR group ( p < 0.001). The DMC showed a statistically better effect on the HRQoL measurements as compared to the THR group. There were no dislocations in both groups. Conclusions: DMC hip replacements provide better functional, patient reported outcomes, and range of motion than the conventional THR. Combined with its stability, DMC replacements are a useful solution in managing femoral neck fractures in active elderly patients. Trial serial number 020841 (IRB Number 00007555).

Modelling Techniques

Evaluation and prediction of wear play a key role in product design and material selection of total hip replacements, because wear debris is one of the main causes of loosening and failure. Multifactorial clinical or laboratory studies are high cost and require unfeasible timeframes for implant development. Simulation using finite element methods is an efficient and inexpensive alternative to predict wear and pre-screen various parameters. This article presents a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the-art finite element modelling techniques that have been applied to evaluate wear in polyethylene hip replacement components. A number of knowledge gaps are identified including the need to develop appropriate wear coefficients and the analysis of daily living activities.
