Abstract
INTRODUCTION Monoblock cups have theoretical advantages over modular cups; however, their superiority in terms of survival has not been confirmed in comparative studies. METHODS We compared the mid-term survivorship of 107 RM Pressfit vitamys monoblock cups (Mathys Ltd., Bettlach, Switzerland) with 93 modular pressfit Pinnacle cups (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN, USA). All cases were registered in the Arthroplasty Registry Thessaloniki and performed by a senior surgeon through the same approach between 2013 and 2014. The groups were comparable in sex distribution, preoperative diagnosis, follow-up, cup diameter, head diameter, type and use of screws, HOOS and HSS preop scores; the recipients of RM cup were significantly younger. RESULTS 3 sockets were revised. The 6-year survival for any reason was 99.1% for the RM and 97.8 % for the PINNACLE group. There was no difference in survival for aseptic loosening and any reason between groups (log-rank test p = 0.921 and p = 0.483, respectively). The age (95% CI, 0.79-1.1), sex (95% CI, 0.2-45.0), cup diameter (95% CI, 0.18-1.1), head diameter (95% CI, 0.004-6.2), preoperative diagnosis and use of screws (95% CI, 0.02-4.3), did not influence hazard ratio for revision between groups. HHS and HOOS were comparable at the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that both cup designs had similar revision rates at mid-term follow-up, regardless the fact that the RM vitamys was used in a cohort of younger patients; which according to the literature would have led to earlier failures. Further long-term data are needed to evaluate the superiority of RM vitamys in the clinical setting, especially in the young.

Survivorship of a Porous Tantalum Monoblock Acetabular Component in Primary Hip Arthroplasty With a Mean Follow-Up of 18 Years. J Arthroplasty 2017; 32:3680-3684. [PMID: 28734611 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2017.06.049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2017] [Revised: 06/12/2017] [Accepted: 06/28/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of porous tantalum for the acetabular component in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has demonstrated excellent short-term and midterm results. However, long-term data are scarce. The purpose of this prospective study is to report the long-term clinical and radiologic outcome following use of an uncemented porous tantalum acetabular component in primary THA with a minimum follow-up of 17.5 years, in a previously studied cohort of patients. METHODS We prospectively followed 128 consecutive primary THAs in 140 patients, between November 1997 and June 1999. A press-fit porous tantalum monoblock acetabular component was used in all cases. All patients were followed clinically and radiographically for a mean of 18.1 years (range, 17.5-19 years). RESULTS Mean age of patients at the time of operation was 60.4 years. Harris hip score, Oxford hip score, and range of motion were dramatically improved in all cases (P < .001). At last follow-up, all cups were radiographically stable with no evidence of migration, gross polyethylene wear, progressive radiolucencies, osteolytic lesions, or acetabular fractures. The survivorship with reoperation for any reason as end point was 92.8% and the survivorship for aseptic loosening as an end point was 100%. CONCLUSION The porous tantalum monoblock cup in primary THA demonstrated excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes with no failures because of aseptic loosening at a mean follow-up of 18.1 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are relatively few 20-year results of uncemented acetabular components, and most of these are modular designs. This study reports the 20-year results of a monoblock press-fit acetabular component. METHODS A total of 122 total hip arthroplasties (111 patients) using the Morscher cup were reviewed at a mean of 19.7 years. The average age at implantation was 57.3 years (range, 36-74 years), and 81 (66%) were men. RESULTS Twenty-two patients (25 hips) had died. Seven hips were revised, including 5 acetabular revisions. Six patients (6 hips) declined to participate but were known not to have been revised. The mean Oxford hip score was 41.1 (range, 22-48), and the mean reduced Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score was 5.7/48 (range, 0-24). Eccentric wear was seen in 13 (15.7%) and major osteolysis in 14 (17%) of 82 surviving hips with radiographs. The all-cause revision rate was 0.32 per 100 observed component years (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-0.66). The 20-year Kaplan-Meier survival was 93.4% (CI, 86.6-96.8) for all-cause revisions, 95.5% (CI, 89.4-98.1) for any acetabular revision, and 97.1% (CI, 91.2-99.1) for acetabular aseptic loosening, wear, or osteolysis. CONCLUSION The Morscher acetabular component has continued to perform well at 20 years despite using conventional polyethylene with results that match or surpass other cementless acetabulae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The porous tantalum monoblock cup has demonstrated excellent short-term and midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes in primary THA, but longer follow-up is necessary to confirm the durability of these results into the second decade. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes for this monoblock cup with a minimum 15-year follow-up. METHODS From June 1998 to December 1999, 61 consecutive patients (63 hips) underwent primary THA with a tantalum monoblock acetabular component. All patients were followed clinically and radiographically for a minimum of 15 years. At a mean of 15.6 years (range, 15-16 years) of follow-up, 5 patients had died, and 4 had been lost to follow-up, leaving 52 patients (54 hips) for analysis. The underlying diagnosis that led to the primary THA was primary osteoarthritis in 43 hips, avascular necrosis in 4, developmental hip dysplasia in 3, rheumatoid arthritis in 3 and post-traumatic osteoarthritis in 1. RESULTS One cup was revised for deep infection; at surgery, the cup showed osseointegration. At a mean follow-up of 15.6 years (range, 15-16 years), the survivorship with cup revision for aseptic loosening as end point was 100%. There was no radiographic evidence of loosening, migration, or gross polyethylene wear at last follow-up. The mean Harris Hip Scores improved from 47 points preoperatively to 94 points. CONCLUSION The porous tantalum monoblock cup in primary THA demonstrated excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes with no failures because of osteolysis or loosening at a minimum follow-up of 15 years.

Can reverse shoulder arthroplasty in post-traumatic revision surgery restore the ability to perform activities of daily living? Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2015; 101:191-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Failed shoulder arthroplasty and failed internal fixation in fractures of the proximal humerus can benefit from implantation of a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). While there is some evidence that RSA can improve function regarding range of motion (ROM), pain, satisfaction, and strength, there is sparse data how this translates into activities of daily living (ADLs). A marker-based 3D video motion analysis system has recently been designed that can measure changes of ROM in dynamic movements in every plane. The hypothesis was that a gain of maximum ROM also translates into the ability to perform ADLs and into a significant increase of ROM in ADLs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six consecutive patients (5 women, 1 man; 2× failed arthroplasty, 4× failed open reduction and internal fixation) who received RSA were examined the day before and 1 year after shoulder replacement. A 3D motion analysis system using a novel upper extremity model measured active maximum values and ROM in four ADLs. RESULTS Comparing the pre- to the 1-year postoperative status, RSA resulted in a significant increase in mean maximum values for active flexion (humerus to thorax) of 37° (S.D. ±23°), from 50 to 87° [P=0.005], and for active abduction averaging of 17° (S.D. ±13°), from 52 to 69° [P=0.027]. The extension decreased significantly by about 8° (S.D. ±16°), from a mean of 39 to 31° [P=0.009]. For active adduction and internal and external rotation, there were trends for improvements, but no significant changes. Only three additional tasks of the ADL (out of 13/24 preoperatively) could be performed after revision surgery. Comparing the preoperative to the postoperative ROM in the ADLs in flexion/extension, ROM improved significantly in one ("tying an apron") of four ADLs. There were no significant changes in the abduction/adduction and internal/external rotation in any ADLs. CONCLUSION RSA in revision cases significantly improved maximum active flexion and abduction, but decreased extension in this series. However, the patients were only able to use this greater ROM to their benefit in one of four ADLs.

Abstract
Large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip replacements (THR) have given rise to concern. Comparative studies of small-head MoM THRs over a longer follow-up period are lacking. Our objective was to compare the incidence of complications such as infection, dislocation, revision, adverse local tissue reactions, mortality and radiological and clinical outcomes in small-head (28 mm) MoM and ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP) THRs up to 12 years post-operatively. A prospective cohort study included 3341 THRs in 2714 patients. The mean age was 69.1 years (range 24 to 98) and 1848 (55.3%) were performed in women, with a mean follow-up of 115 months (18 to 201). There were 883 MoM and 2458 CoP bearings. Crude incidence rates (cases/1000 person-years) were: infection 1.3 vs 0.8; dislocation 3.3 vs 3.1 and all-cause revision 4.3 vs 2.2, respectively. There was a significantly higher revision rate after ten years (adjusted hazard ratio 9.4; 95% CI 2.6 to 33.6) in the MoM group, and ten of 26 patients presented with an adverse local tissue reaction at revision. No differences in mortality, osteolysis or clinical outcome were seen. In conclusion, we found similar results for small-head MoM and CoP bearings up to ten years post-operatively, but after ten years MoM THRs had a higher risk of all-cause revision. Furthermore, the presence of an adverse response to metal debris seen in the small-head MOM group at revision is a cause for concern.

Abstract
The Morscher monoblock cup is designed for optimal osteointegration and holds the potential for excellent long-term survival. The Metasul-on-Metasul bearing was introduced to eliminate wear-induced periprosthetic osteolysis. This study reviews 137 Morscher cups with a 28-mm Metasul-on-Metasul bearing used in primary THA at 5.1years (3.2-6.6) after implantation. One hundred thirty-seven cups were implanted in 119 patients. Three patients (2.2%) had died of unrelated causes, and 10 patients (8.0%) were lost to follow-up. The mean Harris Hip score was 89.8 and the mean WOMAC sum score was 18.5. No cases of acetabular osteolysis were found. The 5-year cup survival rate was 98.5%. The Morscher cup with a 28-mm Metasul-on-Metasul bearing used in uncemented THA showed no acetabular osteolysis and promising survivorship at intermediate-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monoblock acetabular components used in uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) have certain mechanical characteristics that potentially reduce acetabular osteolysis and polyethylene wear. However, the degree to which they achieve this goal is not well documented. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to use a systematic review of controlled trials to test the hypothesis that monoblock cups have superior (1) polyethylene wear rate; (2) frequency of cup migration; (3) frequency of acetabular osteolysis; and (4) frequency of aseptic loosening compared with modular components used in uncemented THA. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane electronic databases to assemble all controlled trials comparing monoblock with modular uncemented acetabular components in primary THA. Included studies were considered "best evidence" if the quality score was either ≥ 50% on the Cochrane Back Review Group checklist or ≥ 75% the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. A total of seven publications met our inclusion criteria. RESULTS Best evidence analysis showed no difference in polyethylene wear rate, the frequency of cup migration, and aseptic loosening between monoblock and modular acetabular components. No convincing evidence was found for the claim that lower frequencies of acetabular osteolysis are observed with the use of monoblock cups compared with modular uncemented cups. CONCLUSIONS The purported benefits of monoblock cups were not substantiated by this systematic review of controlled studies in that polyethylene wear rates and frequencies of cup failure and acetabular osteolysis were similar to those observed with modular implants. Other factors should therefore drive implant selection in cementless THA.

Abstract
In experimental studies, statin use has been associated with reduction of osteoclastic activity and promotion of bone formation around implants. Moreover, a large clinical study recently reported a substantially reduced risk of revision for aseptic loosening among statin users with THA. Our objective was to evaluate the influence of statin use on the development of femoral osteolysis within 5 years after THA. We conducted a case-cohort study including all THAs presenting with femoral osteolysis at the 5 year visit (cases) and compared them with those without osteolysis (controls). Cases and controls were identified from a cohort of primary THAs operated between 2001 and 2005. Seven hundred thirty-five THAs were included, mean age 68 years. Five years after surgery osteolysis had developed around the femoral component of 40 THAs (5.4%). Ever-use of statins was much less frequent among cases (5 of 40, 12.5%) than among controls (199 of 695, 28.6%). The crude risk ratio of femoral osteolysis among statin users was 0.36 (95% CI 0.14; 0.92). After adjusting for age, sex, activity level, BMI, diagnosis, bearing surface, and type of stem, the adjusted risk ratio was 0.38 (95% CI 0.15; 0.99). In conclusion, statin use was associated with a reduced risk of developing femoral osteolysis 5 years after THA. Statins may be useful for reducing the risk of implant failure following THA.

Abstract
This study aimed to report the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a modular femoral component in patients younger than fifty years with osteonecrosis of femoral head. Sixty-four osteonecrotic hips in fifty-five patients were available for clinical and radiographic analyses at minimum follow-up of fifteen-years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 36 points preoperatively to 92.7 points at final follow-up. Sixty-two (95.3%) hips demonstrated stable bone ingrowth. No hips showed loosening or required revision for aseptic loosening. Survivorship with an end point of stem revision for any reason was 93.8% and for aseptic loosening was 100% at 16.8years. We believe that cementless THA with a modular stem is a promising procedure for young and active patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ceramic on ceramic (COC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to reduce wear debris and accordingly, the occurrence of osteolysis and aseptic loosening especially in younger patients. Based on the excellent tribological behavior of current COC bearings and the relatively low biological activity of ceramic particles, significant improvement in survivorship of these implants is expected. METHODS We used manual search to identify all relevant studies reporting clinical data on COC THAs in PubMed. The objective was to determine whether current COC THA offers a better clinical outcome and survivorship than non-COC THA. RESULTS Studies with early generation ceramic bearings yielded 68% to 84% mean survivorship at 20 years follow-up which is comparable with the survivorship of non-COC THAs. Studies on current ceramic bearings report a 10-year revision-free interval of 92% to 99%. These outcomes are comparable to the survivorship of the best non-COC THAs. However, there are still concerns regarding fracture of sandwich ceramic liners, squeaking, and impingement of the femoral neck on the rim of the ceramic liner leading to chipping, especially in younger and physically active patients. CONCLUSION Current COC THA leads to equivalent but not improved survivorship at 10 years follow-up in comparison to the best non-COC THA. Based on this review, we recommend that surgeons weigh the potential advantages and disadvantages of current COC THA in comparison to other bearing surfaces when considering young very active patients who are candidates for THA.

Fixation failures of dual mobility cups: a mid-term study of 2601 hip replacements. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2012; 470:1932-40. [PMID: 22161085 PMCID: PMC3369083 DOI: 10.1007/s11999-011-2213-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2011] [Accepted: 11/28/2011] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dual-mobility cups has increased because of a low rate of dislocations combined with a 96% 15-year survival rate. However, late cup migrations have been attributed to their fixation (tripod - exact fit with two pegs and one extraacetabular screw) and the absence of porous coating. In a second-generation device, the designs were modified to achieve press-fit fixation and a layer of titanium beads was sintered on stainless steel cups. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore (1) determined the midterm survival of press-fit, grit-blasted, second-generation cups with or without additional screws, compared with original tripod and (2) compared survival of grit-blasted dual-mobility cups with bimetallic porous-coated cups. METHODS From a multiinstitutional trial, we reviewed 2408 patients with osteoarthritis implanted with 2601 prostheses of seven designs of a second-generation dual-mobility cup. The criteria for failure were migration, widening radiolucencies in any zone of the interface, or revision for cup loosening. The minimum followup was 5 years (mean, 7.7 years; range, 5-11 years). RESULTS The 8-year survival rate of press-fit, grit-blasted cups was lower than that for press-fit, grit-blasted cups fixed with screws (91% versus 100%) and for tripod fixation (98%). The 8-year survival rate of press-fit, grit-blasted cups was less than that for press-fit, porous-coated cups made of the same alloy (91% versus 95%). CONCLUSIONS The data suggested primary fixation of grit-blasted dual-mobility cups should be secured with screws. Porous coating sintered on the convex side improved midterm survivorship. No deleterious effect of metallosis resulted from sintered titanium beads on stainless steel. Long-term followup is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Monoblock acetabular cups represent a subtype of uncemented cups with the polyethylene liner molded into a metal shell, thus eliminating-or at least minimizing-potential backside wear. We hypothesized that the use of monoblock cups could reduce the incidence of osteolysis and aseptic loosening, and thus improve survival compared to modular designs. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified all 210 primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register that used uncemented monoblock cups during the period 1999-2010. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses with adjustment for age, sex, and other variables were used to calculate survival rates and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of the revision risk for any reason. 1,130 modular cups, inserted during the same time period, were used as a control group. RESULTS There was a nearly equal sex distribution in both groups. Median age at the index operation was 47 years in the monoblock group and 56 years in the control group (p < 0.001). The cumulative 5-year survival with any revision as the endpoint was 95% (95% CI: 91-98) for monoblock cups and 97% (CI: 96-98) for modular cups (p = 0.6). The adjusted HR for revision of monoblock cups compared to modular cups was 2 (CI: 0.8-6; p = 0.1). The use of 28-mm prosthesis heads rather than 22-mm heads reduced the risk of cup revision (HR = 0.2, CI: 0.1-0.5; p = 0.001). INTERPRETATION Both cups showed good medium-term survival rates. There was no statistically significant difference in revision risk between the cup designs. Further review of the current patient population is warranted to determine the long-term durability and risk of revision of monoblock cup designs.

High survival in young patients using a second generation uncemented total hip replacement. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2011; 36:1129-36. [PMID: 22113735 PMCID: PMC3353086 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-011-1399-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2011] [Accepted: 10/15/2011] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Whilst excellent long-term results with contemporary uncemented stems have been reported for total hip arthroplasty in young patients, the survival rates for the whole reconstruction are often compromised by high failure rates on the acetabular site due to peri-acetabular osteolysis and accelerated wear. Methods In patients 60 years old or younger, we retrospectively reviewed the results at a minimum of ten years of 89 consecutive uncemented total hip replacements in 88 patients using the press-fit Fitmore acetabular component in combination with the CLS Spotorno stem and a 28-mm Metasul metal-on-metal articulation or a 28-mm alumina ceramic on conventional polyethylene bearing. The mean age at the time of surgery was 49 years (range, 25–60). The mean clinical and radiological follow-up was 12 years (range, 10–15). Results Six patients (six hips) died and two patients (two hips) were lost to follow-up. Five hips were revised: one for deep infection, one for peri-prosthetic femoral fracture, and one for aseptic stem loosening. In two hips an isolated revision of the acetabular liner was performed (one for recurrent dislocation and one for unexplained pain). No revision was performed for accelerated wear, osteolysis or aseptic loosening of the acetabular shell. We could not detect peri-acetabular osteolysis visible on plain radiographs in those hips evaluated radiographically. The Kaplan-Meier survival with revision for any reason as the endpoint was 94% (95% confidence interval, 86–97) at 12 years. Conclusions The survival rates and the radiological outcomes with this implant combination in this young and active patient group are encouraging when compared to the results reported for other uncemented cups in this age group.

Abstract
We conducted a longitudinal study including patients with the same type of primary hybrid total hip replacement and evaluated patient activity and femoral osteolysis at either five or ten years post-operatively. Activity was measured using the University of California, Los Angeles scale. The primary outcome was the radiological assessment of femoral osteolysis. Secondary outcomes were revision of the femoral component for aseptic loosening and the patients' quality of life. Of 503 hip replacements in 433 patients with a mean age of 67.7 years (30 to 91), 241 (48%) were seen at five and 262 (52%) at ten years post-operatively. Osteolytic lesions were identified in nine of 166 total hip replacements (5.4%) in patients with low activity, 21 of 279 (7.5%) with moderate activity, and 14 of 58 (24.1%) patients with high activity. The risk of osteolysis increased with participation in a greater number of sporting activities. In multivariate logistic regression adjusting for age, gender, body mass index and the inclination angle of the acetabular component, the adjusted odds ratio for osteolysis comparing high vs moderate activity was 3.6 (95% confidence interval 1.6 to 8.3). Stratification for the cementing technique revealed that lower quality cementing increased the effect of high activity on osteolysis. Revision for aseptic loosening was most frequent with high activity. Patients with the highest activity had the best outcome and highest satisfaction. In conclusion, of patients engaged in high activity, 24% had developed femoral osteolysis five to ten years post-operatively.
