Hip Arthroplasties

Background: As a consequence of use of metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties some patients have precised revision for pain or metal hipersensivity reactions among other causes. We propose to salvage monoblock acetabular component and femoral component using a dual-mobility head and perform a lower morbidity operation in young patients preserving host bone stock in cases with well fixed and positioned components. Objective: (1) What clinical problems have been reported in patients with Metal-on-metal hip arthroplasties? (2) Could the tribocorrosion potentially cause a fracture of neck femoral component? (3) Can be the dual-mobility head a recourse in metal-on-metal hip revision? Methods: Ten patients were revised for pain or/and raised Cobalt/Chromium levels between August 2012 and December 2015. In three cases femoral neck component was fractured and femoral revision was necessary. In four hips, acetabular and femoral components could be maintained. Age, body index mass, ion levels, acetabular position, size of acetabular component and femoral head, approach, blood transfunsion and time of hospitalization were analized. Results: At a mean follow-up of 25,6 months (6 to 45) the mean postoperative HHS was 92. It was not statistically significant because several patients were low sintomatic before surgery, but had raised Cobalt/Chromium levels in the blood. All patients had near-normal levels of Cobalt/Chromium during the first 6 months after revision surgery. No relevant complications were reported. Conclusion: The use of dual-mobility head can be an acceptable option to revise metal-on-metal arthroplasties correctly oriented with abscence of loosening or infection signs and keeping bone stock in young patients.

Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty

The authors present the results of 57 revisions in 54 patients performed for aseptic loosening of cemented total hip arthroplasties. The Charnley technique and implants were used in all cases. The mean follow-up was 8 years and 6 months with a minimum of 5 years. The failure rate for the femoral component was 15% and for the acetabular component it was 19.1%. The cumulative success rate at 8 years was 81.7% for the femoral component and 83.4% for the acetabular component. The Charnley technique and implants were found efficient for revision of cemented total hip arthroplasties in the long term, but there are limitations to their use in the presence of severely compromised bone stock.

Acetabular Bone Defects

Aims Bone stock restoration of acetabular bone defects using impaction bone grafting (IBG) in total hip arthroplasty may facilitate future re-revision in the event of failure of the reconstruction. We hypothesized that the acetabular bone defect during re-revision surgery after IBG was smaller than during the previous revision surgery. The clinical and radiological results of re-revisions with repeated use of IBG were also analyzed. Methods In a series of 382 acetabular revisions using IBG and a cemented component, 45 hips (45 patients) that had failed due to aseptic loosening were re-revised between 1992 and 2016. Acetabular bone defects graded according to Paprosky during the first and the re-revision surgery were compared. Clinical and radiological findings were analyzed over time. Survival analysis was performed using a competing risk analysis. Results Intraoperative bone defect during the initial revision included 19 Paprosky type IIIA and 29 Paprosky type IIIB hips; at re-revision, seven hips were Paprosky type II, 27 type IIIA and 11 were type IIIB (p = 0.020). The mean preoperative Harris Hip Score was 45.4 (SD 6.4), becoming 80.7 (SD 12.7) at the final follow-up. In all, 12 hips showed radiological migration of the acetabular component, and three required further revision surgery. The nine-year cumulative failure incidence (nine patients at risk) of the acetabular component for further revision surgery was 9.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.9 to 21.0) for any cause, and 7.5% (95% CI 1.9 to 18.5) for aseptic loosening. Hips with a greater hip height had a higher risk for radiological migration (odds ratio 1.09, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.17; p = 0.008). Conclusion Bone stock restoration can be obtained using IBG in revision hip surgery. This technique is also useful in re-revision surgery; however, a better surgical technique including a closer distance to hip rotation centre could decrease the risk of radiological migration of the acetabular component. A longer follow-up is required to assess potential fixation deterioration. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(3):492–499.

Abstract Purrpose Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been a subject of recent discussion and concern due to the early failures caused by local and systemic adverse reactions related to specific designs. The aim of this study is to analyze the outcomes and survival rates of a single brand of MoM implants implanted in a consecutive series of patients at a single institution. Methods Between 2007 and 2012, 116 (118 hips) patients were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 6.6 years after primary THA. The diagnosis leading to surgery was osteoarthritis (80 patients) and proximal femoral fracture (36 patients). A single design of THA was implanted. All patients were evaluated before surgery and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months by clinical scores and radiographic studies. The data analysis was made using Student's t-test. Results The minimum follow-up was of 4 years, with a mean follow-up of 6.6 years. Two aseptic loosenings of the acetabular component were recorded (one per group), which were not associated with local or systemic complications related to metal ion release. Both were revised by an isolated acetabular cup substitution with metal-on-polyethylene couplings. Nonprogressive radiolucency lines < 2 mm in zone 2 were observed in other six patients around the acetabular component without clinical manifestation (four in the arthritis group and two in the fracture group). Postoperative Harris Hip Score and SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Survey) score improved in both groups. Conclusion Despite several MoM implants showing early complications and failures, a specific MoM design may be associated with good clinical results at a mid- to long-term follow-up. Level of Evidence This is a therapeutic case series, Level 4 study.

Hip Arthroplasties

Introduction and methods: From January 2004 to December 2008, 188 total hip arthroplasties were performed using a cemented dual mobility cup. 174 patients were available for final analysis. Their mean age was 76.8 (range 54-98 years). The mean follow-up was 7.7 years (range 5-10 years). Results: There were no dislocations. Survivorship rates of the femoral and acetabular components were 100% at a minimum of 5 years. At the latest follow-up, the mean Harris Hip Score significantly increased from 31.6 (only arthritic patients) points preoperatively to 84.5 points. No patients had progressive osteolysis, component migration, or loosening on radiographs. 2 patients presented with periprosthetic fractures treated conservatively. 2 patients presented with infection treated without implant removal and 1 patient presented with transient femoral palsy. Conclusions: The results of this consecutive series confirmed the good performance of the cemented dual mobility cup at mean 7.7 years follow-up with no revision and no dislocations.

The Mean

The Mayo Conservative Hip femoral prosthesis has been designed to optimise proximal femoral loading as well as preserving proximal femoral bone stock. Between October 2003 and May 2006, 42 patients (49 hips) underwent total hip replacement (THR) using the Mayo Conservative Hip femoral component. The mean age at operation was 57.8 years (range 44 to 74) and the mean clinical follow up was 3.1 years (range 2.3 to 4.7 years). The aim of our study was to review the short term results of this unorthodox femoral component. We found that 18%° of stems were malaligned ≥ 5° and the prevalence of intra-operative femoral fracture was 4%. We feel this prosthesis is difficult to implant and has an unacceptable fracture rate.
