Background The use of a cemented cup together with an uncemented stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become popular in Norway and Sweden during the last decade. The results of this prosthetic concept, reverse hybrid THA have been sparsely described. We report our experience of reverse hybrid THA, using the Elite plus polyethylene cemented cup together with the Corail fully hydroxyapatite-coated uncemented stem and a 28-mm alumina ceramic head. Patients and methods 132 consecutive reverse hybrid hip arthroplasties were performed from January 2000 to December 2003 in 126 patients with a mean age of 54.3 years (28-65). All patients were routinely reviewed at 3 months, 1, 5, 7 and 10 years postoperatively. At each follow-up patients were seen either by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon or a senior trainee. Anteroposterior pelvic and lateral x-rays of the hip were taken at each visit. To estimate the survival of the THAs we used the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence interval (CI). Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine which factors affected the presence of radiolucency around the femoral stem. Results The mean follow-up was 11.1 years (9.0-14.2). 1 patient was lost to follow-up, and 7 patients were deceased at the time of 10-year follow up. At 10 years 7 patients have had further surgery. 5 for infection, 1 periprosthetic femoral fracture and 1 heterotopic bone formation. All stems were classified as well fixed. 2 cups were defined as loose at 10 years. 1 patient is scheduled for revision the other refused revision. The clinical outcome and radiological findings were assessed in 123 hips. The mean Harris Hip Score was 94 (35-100) at 10 years and the mean WOMAC score was 89 (30.2-100). Conclusions We report good results with respect to clinical outcome and survival of the reverse hybrid concept in patients younger than 65. A successful outcome depends on meticulous preoperative planning, use of modern cementing techniques in the acetabulum and experience in implanting an uncemented stem.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the survival of the Echelon® femoral stems in revision hip surgeries in patients with Paprosky I–IIIA femoral defects. Patients and methods: Sixty-six patients (70 hips) who underwent revision hip surgery with at least 3 years of follow-up data were included in the study between 2000 and 2013. The mean patient age was 64.5 (32–83) years, and the mean follow-up period was 93 (45–206) months. The reasons for revision were aseptic loosening in 55 (78.6%) patients, periprosthetic joint infection in 9 (12.9%) patients, periprosthetic fracture in 4 (5.7%) patients, and stem fracture in 2 (2.9%) patients. The preoperative and postoperative follow-up X-rays and functional scores were evaluated. Results: Five patients died in an average of 70 (45–86) months after surgery due to non-related diseases. We encountered sciatic nerve palsy in two patients and early hip dislocation in two patients, whereas 54 patients were able to walk without any assistive device. The remaining 12 patients required an assistive device to walk. The mean Harris hip score significantly increased from 34 (7–63) preoperatively to 72 (43–96) postoperatively. Aseptic loosening was observed in one patient. The survival of the porous-coated anatomical uncemented femoral stem was 98.4% over 10 years. Conclusion: This study showed that good clinical outcomes and survival can be obtained when using porous-coated anatomical uncemented femoral stems.

Extensively coated long femoral stem revision hip arthroplasty is based on the principle of distal fixation at diaphyseal region, which can overcome the problem of proximal femoral bone stock deficiencies causing inadequate support and unstable fixation when using conventional length femoral stem. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of 43 cases of revision hip arthroplasties using extensively hydroxyapatite-coated long femoral stem performed in our department from Jan 1998 to Dec 2005. Patients’ background demographic data, operative details and clinical outcome were analyzed. The mean age at revision surgery was 63.7 (32–84). The mean follow-up period was of 13.8 years (11–17.5 years). In the latest follow up, all patients reported either no or mild hip or thigh pain. 29.2% of patients were able to walk unaided, 25.0% were able to walk with stick, and 33.3% were able to walk with quadripod. The average Harris hip score measured in the latest follow up was 78.8 (55–100). 4.7% were complicated with implant loosening requiring re-revision and 4.7% were complicated with implant infection requiring implant removal. The survival rate was 89.9% at 17.5 years. The femoral stem without femoral fixation augmentation had better survivorship as compared with those with augmentation (p = 0.038). Extensively hydroxyapatite-coated long femoral stem is a good option for revision hip arthroplasty with good clinical outcome and high survival rate.

Purpose To review 437 hips in 404 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty using the Accolade TMZF stem to determine the incidence and risk factors of distal femoral cortical hypertrophy (DFCH). Methods Records of 437 hips in 169 men and 235 women aged 26 to 100 (mean, 65.7) years who underwent THA (n=293) or hemiarthroplasty (n=144) using the Accolade TMZF femoral stem by 2 senior surgeons and were followed up for a mean of 54.7 months were reviewed. Clinical outcome was assessed using the modified Harris Hip Score and visual analogue score for pain. Proximal femoral geometry and canal flare index were assessed on preoperative radiographs, and DFCH, stem position, subsidence, loosening, and stress shielding were assessed on postoperative radiographs according to the Gruen zone. Results Of 437 hips, 27 (6.2%) developed DFCH and 410 did not. Hips with DFCH had a higher incidence of thigh pain (18.5% vs. 2.2%, p<0.001) and earlier onset of thigh pain (12.3 vs. 20.8 months, p=0.015), compared with those without. Nonetheless, all femoral stems were well-fixed, and no osteolysis or loosening was detected. The 2 groups achieved comparable clinical outcome in terms of Harris Hip Score and pain. The mean canal flare index was higher in hips with than without DFCH (3.706 vs. 3.294, p=0.002). The mean vertical subsidence of the femoral stem was lower in hips with than without DFCH (1.5 vs. 3.4 mm p<0.001). Subsidence negatively correlated with the canal flare index (correlation coefficient= −0.110, p=0.022). The incidence of the DFCH increased with each unit of increment in canal flare index (odds ratio [OR]=1.828, p=0.043) and each year younger in age (OR=0.968, p=0.015). Conclusion The incidence of DFCH in hips with the Accolade TMZF stem was 6.2%. Patients with a higher canal flare index and younger age had a higher incidence of DFCH. Nonetheless, DFCH did not affect clinical outcome or femoral stem stability.

Abstract Background: To evaluate the clinical features and results of the revision total hip arthroplasties (THA) in patients with catastrophic failures and metallosis. Methods: Fifteen hips of 14 patients with catastrophic failure and metallosis in hip arthroplasties were evaluated. They were followed for at least 4.2 years after the revision THA. Clinical evaluation was performed using Harris hip score. Osteolysis, loosening or presence of metallosis was evaluated with standard radiographs. Metallosis was evaluated intraoperatively according to the metallosis severity classification. Results: The mean time from failure until revision surgery was 9.4 years. It was observed that in the primary THA, metal-on-ceramic (MoC), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-conventional polyethylene (MoCPE) bearings were used in 1, 3 and 11 hips, respectively. Grade III metallosis was observed in all patients during revision surgeries. The mean Harris hip score increased from 55 points before revision THA to 75 points at the final follow-up. In revision arthroplasty, MoCPE and CoC bearings were used in 13 and 2 hips, respectively. The femoral stem was replaced in 5 hips. All acetabular cups, except that of one hip, were revised. Conclusions: Revisions of THAs with catastrophic failures and metallosis are quite challenging. Routine follow-up of arthroplasty patients is beneficial to examine for osteolysis, loosening, and asymmetric wear.

Purpose: Revision hip arthroplasty is a very challenging procedure. Use of a modular distal fixation stem is one of the available options for revision arthroplasty in patients with proximal femoral bone deficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mid- to long-term outcomes of cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem implantation in revision hip surgery. Methods: Clinical and radiological findings, complications, and stem survival rate were analyzed for 46 patients (48 hips) who underwent revision hip arthroplasty using a cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem. The mean patient age was 58.8 years (range 31–82 years) and the mean follow-up period was 95 months (72–122 months). The preoperative diagnoses were aseptic loosening (36 hips), infection (4 hips), ceramic fracture (4 hips), and femoral periprosthetic fracture (4 hips). Results: The mean Harris hip score improved from 56.6 preoperatively to 88.2 postoperatively at the last follow-up. All hips showed stable osteointegration and firm fixation. Complications involved four hips (8.3%); there was one case each of periprosthetic fracture, delayed union of osteotomy site, femoral perforation, and infection. One stem re-revision was performed for deep infection of the femoral side. The Kaplan–Meier survival rate was 97.6% at the final follow-up. Conclusion: Revision hip arthroplasty using a cementless modular distal fixation femoral stem showed satisfactory initial firm fixation and mid- to long-term survival rate. Complications can be minimized by careful surgical planning and meticulous procedure.

This study aimed to report the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with an extensive hydroxyapatite (HA) coating for the fixation of a tapered femoral stem (Corail) in patients aged 60 or younger than sixty years with stage IV, V và VI osteonecrosis of femoral head. Subject and method: Descriptive prospective research of ninety osteonecrotic hips in ninety patients were available for clinical and radiographic analyses at minimum follow-up of 5 years. Results and Conclusion: The mean Harris hip score improved from 43.74 ± 9,25points preoperatively to 96.67 ± 3.82points at final follow-up. Seventy-four (100%) hips demonstrated stable bone ingrowth. No hips showed acetabular or femoral osteolysis radiolucency and loosening, or required revision for aseptic loosening. We believe that cementless THA with a Corail stem is a promising procedure for patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract Capsulotomy is necessary to facilitate instrument manoeuvrability within the joint capsule in many arthroscopic hip surgical procedures. In cases where a clear indication for capsular closure does not exist, surgeon’s preference and experience often determines capsular management. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of capsular closure on clinical outcome scores and satisfaction in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy surgery for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tear. Data were prospectively collected and retrospectively analysed for hip arthroscopy surgeries with a minimum 2 years follow-up. Patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip, previous back or hip surgeries, and degenerative changes to this hip and secondary gains were excluded. Demographic data, intraoperative findings and patient-reported outcome scores were recorded, including the Modified Harris Hip Score (MHHS) and Hip Outcome Score (HOS). A total of 29 and 35 patients were included in the non-closure and closure groups, respectively. The mean follow-up time was over 3 years for both groups. The mean pre-operative and post-operative HOS scores and MHHS scores did not significantly differ between groups (pre-operative HOS: 65.6 and 66.3, P = 0.898; post-operative HOS: 85.4 and 87.2, P = 0.718; pre-operative MHHS: 63.2 and 58.4, P = 0.223; post-operative MHHS: 85.7 and 88.7, P = 0.510). Overall patient satisfaction did not differ significantly between groups (non-closure 86.3%, closure group 88.6%; P = 0.672). Capsular closure did not significantly influence satisfaction or clinical outcome scores in patients who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery for FAI or labral tear.

Purpose: Long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) and metal femoral head with more than 10 years of follow-up have already been reported. However, most studies included results with a head size of 28 mm that could affect wear rates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of 36-mm metallic femoral heads on first-generation HXLPE in patients less than 60 years of age with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Methods: Retrospective analysis included 54 cases from 47 patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 47.22 years and the mean follow-up period was 131.04 months. Porous-coated cementless acetabular cups (Trilolgy®; Zimmer Inc., Warsaw, Indiana, USA) and HXLPE acetabular liners (Longevity®; Zimmer Inc.) were used for all cases. Acetabular cup abduction angles, anteversion angles, and wear rates of liner were measured using polyWare pro 3D distal version 5.10. Results: The average modified Harris hip score at the final follow-up was 88.48 (range 80–96). Average Merle d’Aubigne and Postel score was 15.57 (range 14–18). There was no acetabular cup or femoral stem failing due to aseptic loosening. The average steady-state wear rate determined using radiographs taken at 1 year postoperatively and at the latest follow-up was 0.053 ± 0.025 mm/year. There were no statistically significant differences in liner wear rate with respect to age, variety of the femoral stem, or liner thickness. Conclusion: Results of THA with 36-mm metallic femoral heads on first-generation HXLPE in patients less than 60 years of age were satisfactory.

Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an available surgical option for failed acetabular fracture, previously managed by open reduction and internal fixation. This study aimed to report the postoperative outcomes of cementless THA in patients with this condition. Materials and Methods: Between November 2000 and September 2016, 25 consecutive cementless THAs for failed internal fixation after acetabular fractures with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were analyzed. The mean age at the time of surgery was 58 years (36–85 years), and the time elapsed between fracture and THA was 70 months (7–213 months). Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed on all patients. Results: Clinically, the mean Harris hip score at the last follow-up was 88 points. Walking ability recovered to pre-injury status in 92% patients, and activities of daily living recovered in 96% patients. Radiographically, none of the acetabular cups showed evidence of migration and loosening during the mean follow-up of 50 months. All cases showed stable femoral stem fixation at the last follow-up. Dislocation occurred in three cases (12%). Conclusion: Outcomes of cementless THA after failed internal fixation for acetabular fractures were satisfactory. However, a relatively high incidence of postoperative dislocation is still a concern.
