Despite the fact that total hip replacement is one of the most successful surgical procedures for treatment of a variety of end-stage hip diseases, the process of osteolysis and implant loosening remains a significant problem, especially in young and high-demand patients. More than 40 years ago, ceramic bearings were introduced due to their mechanical advantage in order to obtain a reduction in wear debris, and due to the conviction that it was possible to minimize friction and wear owing to their mechanical hardness, high chemical stability, surface lubrication by fluids and low friction coefficient. Together with excellent mechanical properties, ceramics have a biological inertness: eventual ceramic debris will lead to a reactive response with a high predominance of fibrocystic cells, rather than macrophagic cells, and absence of giant cells, which is ideal from a biological perspective. As a consequence, they will not trigger the granulomatous reaction necessary to induce periprosthetic osteolysis, and this clearly appears to be of great clinical relevance. In recent years, tribology in manufacturing ceramic components has progressed with significant improvements, owing to the development of the latest generation of ceramic composites that allow for an increased material density and reduced grain size. Currently, ceramic-on-ceramic bearings are considered the attractive counterparts of ceramic- or metal-on-polyethylene ones for patients with a long life expectancy. The aim of this paper is to report the results of total hip replacements performed with a ceramic-on-ceramic articulation made from a ceramic composite in a single center, focusing on its usefulness in specific preoperative diagnosis.

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.

♦ Hip Dysplasia• Despite screening programs, a large number of patients are affected by dysplastic hips and their sequelae• An understanding of anatomical abnormalities is crucial• Appropriate techniques and implants make arthroplasty feasible• Complications are significantly higher than standard primary hip replacements♦ Protrusio Acetabuli• Technical difficulties include inadequate medial wall and restoring offset, hip centre and leg lengths• Neck may need to be cut in-situ; bone graft is usually necessary and ideally should be taken from the femoral head• Antiprotrusio cages or custom implants may be needed in cases with excessive bone loss♦ Arthrodesed hip to total hip replacement• Careful evaluation of the gluteal muscles is mandatory and predicts final walking ability and patient satisfaction• Long-term effectiveness of total hip replacement in ankylosed hips is satisfactory but there is a higher complication rate

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.

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).
