And Function

Total hip arthroplasty has become a successful way of treating the painful and destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis( RA). Two hundred twenty(135 cemented and 85 noncemented) total hip arthroplasties we were performed in 180 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The average age was 48,61 years and the average follow-up was 8,4 years. Clinical evaluation was based on a Harris hip score that showed significant improvement in pain and function preoperatively compared with pain and function at follow-up. There were two deep infections requiring removal of the prosthesis. Four cemented acetabular cups and one cemented femoral component were revised due to aseptic loosening. Three acetabular rings were revised due to aseptic loosening. The relatively inferior results of total hip arthroplasty among RA patients is due not only to fixation method, but also to the poorer bone quality and weakening musculature. The results in these patients suggest that cement less total hip arthroplasty might become a successful way of treating the destroyed hip joint in the patient with rheumatoid arthritis.

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.

The Mean

Background: Gunshot injury of the hip joint was reported to constitute 2–17% of all extremity firearm injuries. However, there are few studies in the literature related to gunshot injuries of the hip joint. The aim of the current study was to present the results of 10 cases treated with arthroplasty following a gunshot injury to the hip joint together with the recommended treatment algorithm. Methods: Patients with a previous medical history of hip joint region gunshot injury who underwent total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively evaluated. Those with incomplete medical records or who were lost to follow-up were excluded. Patients were classified according to the severity of the previous gunshot injury to the hip joint region. Harris hip score (HHS) and Short Form-12 quality of life score were the main outcome measurements. Postoperative complications encountered during follow-up were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 29.9 years. The mean preoperative HHS was 25.2 points and it was 65.8 at the final follow-up. Patients with bullet fragments in the hip joint, classified as group 1, had better HHS, whereas those with contaminated hip joint with intestinal flora, classified as group 3, had worst HHS. Conclusion: Hip arthroplasty after hip joint gunshot injury is a good treatment choice in young patients to reduce pain and regain functions. However, very high infection rates can be seen in patients with accompanying intestinal injury.

Purpose: Aseptic loosening is rare after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with mostly uncemented tapered stems; however, different factors can modify the results. We question whether 3 different current femoral components and/or the surgical technique affect the clinical and radiological outcome after a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Methods: 889 uncemented tapered stems implanted from 1999 to 2007 were evaluated for a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Group 1 (273 hips) shared a conical shape and a porous-coated surface, group 2 (286 hips) a conical splined shape and group 3 (330 hips) a rectangular grit-blasted stem. Groups 1 and 2 were implanted through a posterolateral approach and group 3 using an anterolateral approach. Clinical outcomes and anteroposterior and sagittal radiographic analyses were compared. Results: No thigh pain was reported in unrevised patients. Mean Harris Hip score was lower for patients in group 3 for pain and function at all intervals. 14-year implant survival for aseptic loosening was 98.2% (95% confidence interval [CI] 96.2–100) in group 3. No revision for aseptic loosening was found with the other designs. A stem position outside neutral limits in the sagittal alignment ( p = 0.001, hazard ratio: 6.17, 95% CI, 2.05–18.61) was associated with aseptic loosening in group 3. Conclusions: Most current uncemented straight tapered femoral components can provide adequate bone fixation in primary THA after 10 years. Conical stems inserted through a posterolateral approach are more reliable than rectangular ones inserted through an anterolateral approach.

Relevance. The RM Classic monoblock titanium-coated polyethylene cup is widely used in the total hip arthroplasty. However, so far in Russia there has been no analysis of follow-up over 10 years for a limited number of patients in a single hospital. The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of total hip replacement with RM Classic acetabular component. Materials and Methods. The outcomes of 328 total hip arthroplasties (289 patients operated in the period from 1997 to 2007) with RM Classic cups were evaluated in a monocentral retrospective clinical study. The average follow-up period was 14.4 years. Revision procedure due to aseptic loosening, polyethylene wear or osteolysis was considered as the end point of the study. Results. 9 revisions during the short and medium follow-up periods (up to 10 years) were associated with malpositioning of RM Classic components and errors in surgical technique. The indications for later revision THA (19 cases) were polyethylene wear and aseptic loosening. Only in one case they were combined with pelvic bone osteolysis with the formation of III a defect according to W.G. Paprosky classification. Within 15 years the Kaplan-Meier survivorship of RM Classic cup was 92.5%. There was a statistically significant difference of the survival curves in the ceramic-on-poly against metal-on-poly bearings: 94.9% and 79.4%, respectively. The average Harris Hip Score was 88.6. Conclusion. RM Classic uncemented monoblock cup has proven its high efficiency and survival in 15 years follow-up period and over.

The authors reported the outcome at a minimum of five years of 130 consecutive arthroplasties of VerSys ET (Zimmer) in 111 patients. The procedures were performed between 2001 and 2004. In 129 cases (99.2%) Trilogy cup (Zimmer) was used in one case - Muller's acetabular cage (Mathys). The mean age of patients was 49.5 (SD 11.5) (23 to 73), male 76 (58.5%), female - 54 (41.5%), overweight patients 109 (83.8%). Majority of patients had activity in Charnley class A. The most frequent was femur Dorr type A (27,0%) and Dorr type В (66,1%). The mean follow-up was 76 months (60 to 96). The outcomes assessed in 103 patients (120 hips) (92.3%). Outcomes of ten cases were not determined. The mean Harris Hip score improves from 35.1 (SD 8.3) preoperatively to 94.3 (SD 8.5) post-operatively. Kaplan-Meier analysis with revision of the stem as the end-point demonstrated 97,7% survival in term 60 to 96 months, for aseptic loosening - 99,2%. Subsidence of the implants in 61 (50.8%) patients was fixed at a mean follow-up 18.3 (SD3.7) months after surgery and did not progress further. After surgery stem position was neutral 91(75.8%) patients, varus - 14 (12.1%) and valgus - 14 (12.1%). Complications were observed in 8 (6.7%) cases: among them - periprosthetic fractures 6 (5.0%), stem aseptic loosening - 1 (0.8%), recurrent dislocation - 1 (0.8%). Four patients undergone revision surgery We consider the high efficiency of VerSys ET stem use for primary total hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: The Chiari pelvic osteotomy (CPO) has been recommended as a salvage procedure to improve head coverage in case of hip joint incongruence in paediatric hip disease. In this study, we aimed to assess the long-term results of CPO for severe Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). Methods: A total of 39 patients who underwent a CPO at our department between 1995 and 2010 were prospectively followed both radiologically (Stulberg classification) and clinically (Harris Hip Score [HHS], conversion into total hip arthroplasty). In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the cases of 12 hips (12 patients, 3 girls, 8 left hips) treated by CPO for severe LCPD (Catterall grade 3 or 4) with hip joint incongruence. Mean follow-up was 14.0 (range 7.6–21.3) years. Results: Mean age at surgery was 10.2 (range 8.2–17.8) years. Additional femoral osteotomy was performed in 8 patients. A good radiological result (Stulberg I or II) was achieved in 2 patients, a fair result (Stulberg III) in 4 patients, and a poor outcome (Stulberg IV or V) in 6 patients. Mean postoperative HHS averaged 93 (range 65–100) points. An excellent functional outcome (HHS 90–100 points) was achieved in 9 patients. No patient underwent total hip arthroplasty during follow-up. Postoperative limb-length discrepancy was found in 3 patients. Conclusions: CPO for severe LCPD with hip joint incongruence resulted in good long-term clinical outcome in about ⅔ of our patients after a mean of 14 years. Our results suggest that CPO can still be considered as a salvage joint-conserving procedure in this selected group of younger patients.

Background: The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach. Methods: 44 patients who underwent THA, were randomly allocated to either MPA or SuperPATH. The data were then collected prospectively (preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks). Plain anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis and instrumental gait analysis were obtained. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) were used to assess functional and clinical outcomes. Results: No significant difference was found in patients’ surgical outcomes. Patients in the SuperPATH group had less pain according to the VAS score at follow-up than the MPA group ( p < 0.01). There was also a significant improvement in HHS and HOOS scores for all patients ( p < 0.001) with the SuperPATH group showing superior changes. The comparison of mean differences in gait velocity between preoperative and 6 weeks postoperative result, revealed improvement in the SuperPATH group over the MPA group ( p = 0.06). Limping was more persistent in the MPA group. Kinematic parameters demonstrated improved hip joint excursion slightly higher in the MPA group. There was no significant improvement in kinetic and kinematic parameters at different walking moments for all patients at 6 weeks compared to preoperative gait patterns. Conclusions: SuperPATH and MPA both show excellent results. This study reveals that the SuperPATH technique was associated with lower postoperative pain levels, and higher physical function and quality of life. Improved functional outcomes allowed earlier postoperative rehabilitation and faster recovery. Specific improvement in gait patterns were identified with nonsignificant differences between the 2 approaches at 6 weeks follow-up.

Superior Approach

This study aims to establish the midterm safety and performance for the direct superior approach to minimally invasive surgery total hip arthroplasty (MIS-THA). We used a unicentric, single-surgeon, retrospective, consecutive case series analysis of the first 40 patients who received primary unilateral direct superior MIS-THA. Special attention was given to functional recovery by measuring Harris Hip Score (HHS) and timed-up-and-go (TUG) with a mean follow up of 2.2 ± 0.4 years. A radiologic evaluation was performed. HHS and TUG improved significantly at three months and one year (p < 0.001). All components were placed within the Lewinnek safe zone with no change position or signs of loosening at two years. With a minimum of two years of follow up, the direct superior approach appears to be safe without any obvious or consistent postoperative complications—clinically or radiographically—with excellent functional recovery. Additionally, our subgroup analysis supported no late learning curve effect.

Long-term data and information indicating whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are safe and effective with total hip arthroplasty (THA) are lacking. Between 2004 and 2006, 75 patients with alcohol-related osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who underwent 75 THAs with the two-incision approach were studied. The medical records, radiographic parameters, and functional outcomes were collected prospectively. All data were compared with those for matched patients who underwent a modified Watson-Jones (WJ) approach. THA using the two-incision approach was associated with longer operation time, more blood loss, more lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury, and more periprosthetic femoral fractures (p<0.05for all four) than the modified WJ approach. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) increased significantly from the period preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively and thereafter up to the last follow-up in both groups. However, there were no significant differences in terms of radiographic parameters and functional outcomes between the two groups throughout the study period. Both the two-incision and the modified WJ approach provided satisfactory results and survival rates at a mean follow-up of 10.8 years. A prospective, randomized, large-scale cohort study is still warranted for evidence-based recommendations.

Aims Femoral bone preparation using compaction technique has been shown to preserve bone and improve implant fixation in animal models. No long-term clinical outcomes are available. There are no significant long-term differences between compaction and broaching techniques for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of migration, clinical, and radiological outcomes. Methods A total of 28 patients received one-stage bilateral primary THA with cementless femoral stems (56 hips). They were randomized to compaction on one femur and broaching on the contralateral femur. Overall, 13 patients were lost to the ten-year follow-up leaving 30 hips to be evaluated in terms of stem migration (using radiostereometry), radiological changes, Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and complications. Results Over a mean follow-up period of 10.6 years, the mean stem subsidence was similar between groups, with a mean of -1.20 mm (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.28 to -0.12) in the broaching group and a mean of -0.73 mm (95% CI -1.65 to 0.20) in the compaction group (p = 0.07). The long-term migration patterns of all stems were similar. The clinical and radiological outcomes were similar between groups. There were two intraoperative fractures in the compaction group that were fixed with cable wire and healed without complications. No stems were revised. Conclusion Similar stem subsidence and radiological and clinical outcomes were identified after the use of compaction and broaching techniques of the femur at long-term follow-up. Only the compaction group had intraoperative periprosthetic femur fractures, but there were no long-term consequences of these. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(12):1035–1042.
