Abstract
Aims Professional dancers represent a unique patient population in the setting of hip arthroplasty, given the high degree of hip strength and mobility required by their profession. We sought to determine the clinical outcomes and ability to return to professional dance after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). Methods Active professional dancers who underwent primary THA or HRA at a single institution with minimum one-year follow-up were included in the study. Primary outcomes included the rate of return to professional dance, three patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS-JR), and Lower Extremity Activity Scale (LEAS)), and postoperative complications. Results A total of 49 hips in 39 patients (mean age 56 years (SD 13); 80% female (n = 39)) were included. Mean follow-up was 4.9 years (SD 5.1). Of these 49 hips, 37 THAs and 12 HRAs were performed. In all, 96% of hips returned to professional dance activities postoperatively. With regard to PROMs, there were statistically significant improvements in mHHS, HOOS-JR, and LEAS from baseline to ≥ one year postoperatively. There were complications in 7/49 hips postoperatively (14%), five of which required revision surgery (10%). There were no revisions for instability after the index procedure. Two complications (5.4%) occurred in hips that underwent THA compared with five (42%) after HRA (p = 0.007), though the difference by procedure was not significantly different when including only contemporary implant designs (p = 0.334). Conclusion Active professional dancers experienced significant improvements in functional outcome scores after THA or HRA, with a 96% rate of return to professional dance. However, the revision rate at short- to mid-term follow-up highlights the challenges of performing hip arthroplasty in this demanding patient population. Further investigation is required to determine the results of THA versus HRA using contemporary implant designs in these patients.

Abstract
Background Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) provides an attractive alternative to total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the management of osteoarthritis in younger, more active patients; however, concerns persist over complications specific to HRA. The aims of this systematic review were to assess the documented long-term survival rates of the metal-on-metal BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing System at a follow-up of at least 10 years and to analyze the functional outcomes and cause of failures. Methods A systematic review was undertaken of all published cohort studies available in the MEDLINE, Cochrane, Embase, and PubMed research databases up to December 2021, as recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data extraction was focused on survival rates, causes of failure, and functional outcomes. Survival estimates at 10 years were pooled in a meta-analysis, with each series weighted by its variance. Causes of failure were presented as a percentage of the pooled revisions. Results A total of 11 studies were identified, encompassing 3,129 cases. Across the 9 studies that had reported a mean follow-up, the mean follow-up was 11.7 years (range, 9.55 to 13.7 years). We found a pooled 10-year survival rate of 95.5% (95% confidence interval, 93.4% to 97.1%). There were 149 revisions among the studies (range, 4 to 38 revisions per study), a rate of 4.8% of the total procedures performed. The 2 main causes of revision were aseptic loosening (20.1% of revisions) and adverse reactions to metal debris (20.1%). There were no revisions for dislocation. Of the studies that reported preoperative functional scores, all reported significant improvement in mean scores postoperatively except for 1 study in which the mean Tegner activity score did not significantly improve. Conclusions When performed for appropriate indications, patients undergoing an HRA with use of the BIRMINGHAM HIP Resurfacing System can expect good implant survivorship at 10 years with acceptable functional results and low rates of dislocation and infection. This systematic review, however, confirms concerns regarding adverse reactions to metal debris as a leading cause of revision. Level of Evidence Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
Although controversy surrounding the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) arthroplasty implants continues to exist, satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes have been reported following Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) at long-term follow-up, leading to an Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) rating of 13A. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to evaluate the functional outcomes, radiological outcomes and revision rates following BHR at a minimum of 10 years follow-up. Using the PRISMA guidelines, two independent reviewers performed a literature search using Pubmed, Embase and Scopus databases. Only studies reporting on outcomes of BHR with a minimum of 10 years' follow-up were considered for inclusion. A total of 12 studies including 7132 hips (64.8% males), with mean follow-up of 11.5 years (10-15.3), met our inclusion criteria. Of included patients, 94.3% of patient underwent BHR for osteoarthritis at a mean age was 52.0 years (48-52). At final follow-up, 96% of patients reported being satisfied with their BHR, with mean Harris Hip Scores of 93.6 and Oxford Hip Scores of 16.5. Rates of radiological femoral neck narrowing of greater than 10% and non-progressive radiological loosening were reported as 2.0% and 3.8% respectively. At final follow-up, the overall revision rate was 4.9% (334/7132), deep infection rate was 0.4%, metal allergy/insensitivity rate was 1.6%, metal reaction rate was 0.3%, rate of peri-prosthetic fracture was 0.9% and aseptic loosening rates were 1.6%. This systematic review demonstrates that BHR results in satisfactory clinical outcomes, acceptable implant survivorship, low complication rates and modest surgical revision rates in the long-term at minimum 10-year follow-up.

Abstract
Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty has been widely used since the end of the 20th century, although rates have now decreased due to concerns regarding adverse reactions and failure rates. The MoM implant has been replaced with other materials, such as ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP). This literature review looks at the past and present use of MoM prostheses to assess whether the turn away from MoM use is justified. Online literature searches were performed on PubMed, Ovid Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), and Web of Science online databases using the search terms "MoM and (ARMD and ALVAL)" (ARMD: adverse reaction to metal debris; ALVAL: aseptic lymphocyte-dominant vasculitis-associated lesion). A total of 64 relevant titles were included in the review. Although risk factors for adverse reactions and the causes of ARMD are generally agreed upon, more work is required to further understand the specific thresholds of blood metal ion levels that can be used to consistently identify ARMD and excessive metal wear-debris in patients who have not had their MoM implants revised. Metal-on-metal devices are not an acceptable option for total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in their current formulation due to the high rate and risk of ARMD. Some MoM hip resurfacing operations are appropriate for very carefully selected patients who are fully aware of the risks posed by the implant. It is recommended that device-specific thresholds for metal ion levels be developed to identify patients at risk of ARMD locally and systemically while using auxiliary tools to assist diagnosis, such as metal artefact reduction sequences (MARS)-MRI and hip scoring tools. Further work should investigate device-specific blood metal ion levels, the systemic effects of raised metal ion concentrations secondary to MoM arthroprosthetic wear, and the potential risks of ARMD caused by wear from tapered stems (including the implications this has for patients with CoC and MoP prostheses).

Abstract
Aims The aims of this study were to determine if an increasing serum cobalt (Co) and/or chromium (Cr) concentration is correlated with a decreasing Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) in patients who received the Articular Surface Replacement (ASR) hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), and to evaluate the ten-year revision rate and show if sex, inclination angle, and Co level influenced the revision rate. Methods A total of 62 patients with an ASR-HRA were included and monitored yearly postoperatively. At follow-up, serum Co and Cr levels were measured and the HHS and the HOOS were scored. In addition, preoperative patient and implant variables and the need for revision surgery were recorded. We used a linear mixed model to relate the serum Co and Cr levels to different patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). For the survival analyses we used the Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression model. Results We found that an increase of one part per billion (ppb) in serum Co and Cr levels correlated significantly with worsening of the HHS in the following year. This significant correlation was also true for the HOOS-Pain and HOOS-quality of life sub scores. The overall ten-year survival rate in our cohort was 65% (95% confidence interval (CI) 52.5 to 77.6). Cox regression analysis showed a significant hazard ratio (HR) of 1.08 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.15; p = 0.028) for serum Co level. No significance was found with sex or inclination angle. Conclusion This study shows that increasing serum Co and Cr levels measured in patients with an ASR-HRA are predictive for deterioration in HHS and HOOS subscales in the following year. Increasing serum Co and Cr should forewarn both surgeon and patient that there is a heightened risk of failure. Continued and regular review of patients with an ASR-HRA implant by measurement of serum Co/Cr levels and PROMs remains essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a less common but effective alternative method to total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip reconstruction. In this study, we investigated the incidences of in-hospital complications between patients who had been subjected to THA and HRA. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample data that had been recorded from 2005 to 2014 was used in this study. Based on the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification, patients who underwent THA or HRA were included. Data on demographics, preoperative comorbidities, length of hospital stay, total charges, and in-hospital mortality and complications were compared. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine whether different surgical options are independent risk factors for postoperative complications. RESULTS A total of 537,506 THAs and 9,744 HRAs were obtained from the NIS database. Patients who had been subjected to HRA exhibited less preoperative comorbidity rates, shorter length of stay and extra hospital charges. Moreover, HRA was associated with more in-hospital prosthesis loosening. Notably, patients who underwent HRA were younger and presented less preoperative comorbidities but did not show lower incidences in most complications. CONCLUSIONS The popularity of HRA gradually reduced from the year 2005 to 2014. Patients who underwent HRA were more likely to be younger, male, have less comorbidities and spend more money on medical costs. The risk of in-hospital prosthesis loosening after HRA was higher. The HRA-associated advantages with regards to most in-hospital complications were not markedly different from those of THA. In-hospital complications of HRA deserve more attention from surgeons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients younger than 50 years poses significant challenges including postoperative limitations of activity and higher failure rates. Sub-par outcomes of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in registries remain controversial due to multiple confounders. Favourable HRA results in some studies are often regarded as irreproducible. The aim of this study is to analyse HRA outcomes in a large international cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS We compiled a database of 11,382 HRA patients ⩽50 years from an international group of 27 experienced HRA centres from 13 countries. 18 different metal-on-metal (MoM) HRA designs were included with a mean follow-up of 7.6 years. Outcomes were implant survivorship, revision rates, causes for revision, clinical scores and metal ion levels. Outcomes were compared between genders, sizes, implant types and pre-operative diagnoses. RESULTS Overall cumulative Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 88.9% at 22 years (95% CI: 88.3-89.5%). 2 HRA designs (DePuy Articular Surface Replacement (ASR), and Corin Cormet Hip Resurfacing System (CORMET)) led to inferior results while all others yielded similar survivorships. Excluding ASR and CORMET, implant survivorship in 11,063 cases was 95% at 10 years and 90% at 22 years. In men, implant survivorship was excellent: 99% at 10 years and 92.5% at 21 years. In females, implant survivorship was 90% at 10 years and 81.3% at 22 years. The overall revision rate was 3.6% with most common reasons for revision being implant loosening and adverse local tissue reactions. The best survivorship was found in patients with osteoarthritis (95% CI, 92.1-93.3% at 22 years), the poorest was among dysplastic hips (78.3%; 95% CI, 76.5-80.1% at 20 years, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Comparable revision rates demonstrated here may mitigate some concerns for safety and longevity of MoM HRA implants. Higher demands for activity and functionality in younger patients make HRA a potential alternative to THA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically investigate the ototoxic potential of cobalt in patients with a metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implant, using objective auditory and vestibular assessments and a questionnaire. The results of the objective evaluation were published previously, whereas the current study focused on the questionnaire outcome and its relationship to the blood cobalt level. Design and study sample: Twenty patients (33-65 years) with a primary MoM hip implant and 20 non-implanted control subjects, matched for age, gender, and noise exposure, received a questionnaire to evaluate the presence of several hearing and balance symptoms (part 1) and general neurological issues (part 2). RESULTS Concerning part 1, the proportion of auditory-related symptoms in general (p = 0.022) and tinnitus (p = 0.047) was significantly higher in the MoM patient group, whereas no group difference was found for hyperacusis, increased listening effort, and decreased speech understanding. Concerning part 2, no significant group differences were detected. Within the MoM patient group, the questionnaire outcome was not significantly different between the low-exposure and high-exposure subgroups according to the blood Co level. CONCLUSIONS In line with our previous study, these results potentially imply Co-induced impairment to the auditory system, despite the lack of a clear dose-response relationship.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to assess the functional gain achieved following hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). Patients and Methods A total of 28 patients (23 male, five female; mean age, 56 years (25 to 73)) awaiting Birmingham HRA volunteered for this prospective gait study, with an age-matched control group of 26 healthy adults (16 male, ten female; mean age, 56 years (33 to 84)). The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and gait analysis using an instrumented treadmill were used preoperatively and more than two years postoperatively to measure the functional change attributable to the intervention. Results The mean OHS improved significantly from 27 to 46 points (p < 0.001) at a mean of 29 months (12 to 60) after HRA. The mean metal ion levels at a mean 32 months (13 to 60) postoperatively were 1.71 (0.77 to 4.83) µg/l (ppb) and 1.77 (0.68 to 4.16) µg/l (ppb) for cobalt and chromium, respectively. When compared with healthy controls, preoperative patients overloaded the contralateral good hip, limping significantly. After HRA, patients walked at high speeds, with symmetrical gait, statistically indistinguishable from healthy controls over almost all characteristics. The control group could only be distinguished by an increased push-off force at higher speeds, which may reflect the operative approach. Conclusion Patients undergoing HRA improved their preoperative gait pattern of a significant limp to a symmetrical gait at high speeds and on inclines, almost indistinguishable from normal controls. HRA with an approved device offers substantial functional gains, almost indistinguishable from healthy controls. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1423–1430.

Abstract
AIMS It is not known whether change in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) over time can be predicted by factors present at surgery, or early follow-up. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with changes in PROM status between two-year evaluation and medium-term follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing Birmingham Hip Resurfacing completed the Veteran's Rand 36 (VR-36), modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Tegner Activity Score, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at two years and a minimum of three years. A change in score was assessed against minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) thresholds. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between patient factors and deterioration in PASS status between follow-ups. RESULTS Overall, 18% of patients reported reductions in mHHS total score exceeding MCID, and 21% reported similar reductions for WOMAC function scores. Nonetheless, almost all patients remained above PASS thresholds for WOMAC function (98%) and mHHS (93%). Overall, 66% of patients with mHHS scores < PASS at two years reported scores > PASS at latest follow-up. Conversely, 6% of patients deteriorated from > PASS to < PASS between follow-ups. Multivariable modelling indicated body mass index (BMI) > 27 kg/m2, VR-36 Physical Component Score (PCS) < 51, VR-36 Mental Component Score (MCS) > 55, mHHS < 84 at two years, female sex, and bone graft use predicted these deteriorating patients with 79% accuracy and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.84. CONCLUSION Due to largely acceptable results at a later follow-up, extensive monitoring of multiple PROMs is not recommended for Birmingham Hip Resurfacing patients unless they report borderline or unacceptable hip function at two years, are female, are overweight, or received a bone graft during surgery.

[PMID: 31355007 PMCID: PMC6637712 DOI: 10.1155/2019/9315104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2019] [Revised: 05/24/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
We investigate the efficacy of a modified acetabular bone-preparation technique in reducing the incidence of two clinical problems identified in hip resurfacing arthroplasty. The first issue is failure due to lack of bone ingrowth into the acetabular component. The second is a newly recognized phenomenon of early cup shift. We hypothesize that these issues might be resolved by using a "wedge-fit method", in which the component wedges into the peripheral acetabular bone rather than bottoming out and potentially toggling on the apex of the cup. Prior to November 2011, all acetabula were reamed 1 mm under and prepared with a press-fit of the porous coated acetabular component. After November 2011, we adjusted reaming by bone density. In "soft bone" (T-score <-1.0), we underreamed acetabula by 1 mm less than the outer diameter of the cup, as was previously done in all cases. For T-scores greater than -1.0, we reamed line-to-line. Additionally, we began performing an "apex relief" starting June 2012 in all cases by removing 2 mm of apex bone with a small reamer after using the largest reamer. Failure of acetabular ingrowth occurred in 0.5% of cases before the wedge-fit method and <0.1% after. Rate of cup shift was reduced from 1.1% to 0.4%. The rate of unexplained pain between 2 and 4 years postoperatively also declined significantly from 2.6% to 1.3%. Our evidence suggests that wedge-fit acetabular preparation improves initial implant stability, leading to fewer cases of early cup shift, unexplained pain, and acetabular ingrowth failure.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to report the implant survival and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in a consecutive series of patients aged less than 50 years at the time of arthroplasty using the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system (BHR), with a minimum follow-up of ten years. Patients and Methods A total of 226 patients with osteoarthritis of the hip, who underwent BHR and presented to a single surgeon, were included in the study. Survival of the implant was confirmed by cross-checking with the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry. Kaplan–Meier survival curves with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were constructed. Pre- and postoperative PROMs were compared with t-tests, and postoperative scores were compared using anchor analysis with age and gender matched normative data. Results At median follow-up of 12 years (interquartile range (IQR) 10 to 13), six BHRs were revised, with a cumulative rate of survival of 96.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 94.2 to 99.4) at 15 years, and with a significantly lower (p = 0.019) cumulative rate of revision than the national average for the same device at ten years. Most revisions (n = 4) were undertaken early, less than three years postoperatively, and occurred in women. Patient-reported general health (Veteran’s Rand-36), disease state (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index), function (modified Harris Hip Score) and level of activity (Tegner activity score) maintained significant (p < 0.01 for each) improvements beyond ten years postoperatively and were equal to, or exceeded, age- and gender-matched normative data in more than 80% of the patients. Conclusion Longer term PROMs after BHR, from a single surgeon, for patients aged less than 50 years remain under-reported. We found that the outcome after a BHR, at a minimum of ten years postoperatively, remained satisfactory, particularly for self-reported hip function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND International surgeon series and registry data have demonstrated positive outcomes and long-term survival of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implant. We report the 5 to 10-year results from a single center in the U.S. METHODS Three hundred and fourteen patients (360 hips) underwent surface replacement arthroplasty with use of the BHR implant and consented to study participation. Patient-reported outcomes and complication and revision data were collected at a minimum of 5 years of follow-up for 93% (324 of 350) of the hips in surviving patients. A matched-cohort analysis was used to compare clinical outcomes between use of the BHR and total hip arthroplasty. RESULTS Mean modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) scores significantly improved postoperatively, to 89.9 and 8.0, respectively (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier estimated rate of survival for all-cause revision was 97.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94.7% to 98.5%) and 93.8% (95% CI, 88.8% to 96.7%) at 5 and 10 years, respectively. In a subgroup analysis of patients fitting our current BHR inclusion criteria (males <60 years of age with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and anatomy conducive to a femoral head component of ≥48 mm), survival free of aseptic revision was 99.5% (95% CI, 96.6% to 99.9%) at 5 years and 98.2% (95% CI, 94.4% to 99.4%) at 10 years. Fourteen patients (4.3% of all hips) required revision. Postoperative UCLA scores were significantly greater for BHR compared with total hip arthroplasty (mean score of 8.0 ± 2.0 versus 7.6 ± 1.8; p = 0.040) in a matched-cohort analysis, with patients matched according to preoperative UCLA score, diagnosis, age, sex, and body mass index. Among matched patients who were highly active preoperatively (UCLA score of 9 to 10), BHR provided a smaller median decrease in the postoperative UCLA score (0.0 versus 1.0; p < 0.001), which was clinically important according to the minimal clinically important difference (MCID, 0.92). Furthermore, BHR provided a greater likelihood of remaining highly active compared with total hip arthroplasty (61% compared with 20%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS BHR demonstrated excellent survivorship and clinical outcomes at 5 to 10 years in selected patients. As compared with total hip arthroplasty, the use of the BHR may provide highly active patients with clinically important advantages in postoperative activity as well as a greater likelihood of remaining highly active. Continued follow-up is necessary to validate long-term BHR outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Metal-on-metal (MoM) large head total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were discontinued early after their introduction because of the high number of failures due to adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD). Aim of this study is to report the clinical outcome at a mid-term follow-up (FU) of a series of large-head MoM THA. METHODS: In this prospective study, 25 hips (24 patients, 3 males, 21 females, mean age 62.44 years) who have undergone primary THA with large head (diameter ⩾36 mm) MoM prosthesis were evaluated. Each patient underwent a standard follow-up after surgery, that included blood tests with metal ion levels (Co and Cr), x-ray of the pelvis, metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MARS-MRI) and clinical evaluation. RESULTS: At an average follow-up of 7.3 years, 4 hips have been surgically reviewed: 2 for causes not related to ARMD (1 heterotopic ossification and 1 periprosthetic fracture); the other 2 on the same patient (bilateral) with ARMD, who was eventually found to be allergic to nickel. Increased metal ions, osteolysis and severe MRI alterations were found in patients with ARMD. Asymptomatic alterations at MRI were found in 8 patients. Harris Hip Score improved after surgery from a mean of 51 points to a mean of 90 points ( p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study show that not all the patients with MoM THA will develop clear symptoms of ARMD at mid-term follow-up. Patients should be closely monitored following protocols such as that proposed in the European Consensus Statement.

Abstract
Objective To explore the mid-term effectiveness of large-head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical date of 40 patients (43 hips) who were treated with the large-head metal-on-metal THA between April 2009 and June 2010. There were 18 males (20 hips) and 22 females (23 hips) with an average age of 55.1 years (range, 20-85 years). Unilateral hip was involved in 37 cases and bilateral hips in 3 cases. The disease causes included osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 14 cases (15 hips), osteoarthritis in 6 cases (7 hips), rheumatoid arthritis in 4 cases (4 hips), femoral neck fracture in 4 cases (4 hips), and developmental dysplasia of the hip in 12 cases (13 hips). Before operation, the Harris score and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score were 38.51±5.62 and 4.21±1.43, respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.78±0.95. Results All patients were followed up 6.7-8.3 years (mean 7.5 years). All incisions healed primarily and no neurovascular injury, infection, and hip dislocation occurred. At last follow-up, the Harris score and UCLA score were 93.33±3.21 and 7.32±1.45, respectively, showing significant differences when compared with preoperative scores ( t=51.753, P=0.000; t=23.232, P=0.000). The thigh pain occurred in 3 cases (3 hips) in whom the inflammatory pseudotumor of soft tissues was found in 1 case (1 hip). Postoperative X-ray films showed that the acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle were (46.5±3.2)° and (14.8±3.6) °, respectively. The initial stability of femoral stem prosthesis was excellent in 39 hips and good in 4 hips according to Mulliken standard. Osteolysis occurred in 2 hips and revision was performed in 1 hip of secondary loosening of prosthesis. The rest patients had no prosthesis loosening or sinking. Conclusion The mid-term effectiveness of large-head mental-on-mental THA in treatment of the terminal diseases of hips are good.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Birmingham hip resurfacing (BHR) has proven to be a good alternative for younger patients with osteoarthritis. Some have asserted that BHR may yield outcomes which are superior to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and that some studies which failed to show a difference were plagued by ceiling effects and lack of sensitivity of outcome measures. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of BHR and THA using the "Forgotten Joint" Score-12 (FJS), a more sensitive score with lesser vulnerability to the ceiling effect. METHODS Patients who underwent BHR were matched to patients who underwent posterior THA by computing a propensity score using 5 covariates: age, body mass index, gender, worker's compensation claims, and previous hip surgery. Surgical outcomes were assessed using 6 patient-reported outcome measures, including the FJS, the visual analog scale for pain, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS There were 42 patients in the BHR group and 18 patients in the THA group. The FJS was 78.0 for the BHR group and 76.0 for the THA group. The Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Mental Component Summary and Short Form 12 Mental Component Summary were significantly higher in the BHR group. No differences were seen between all other patient-reported outcomes. CONCLUSION BHR offers excellent results in young patients that are comparable to THA. As no clinical difference could be shown between BHR and THA, even with the use of the FJS, the choice between BHR and THA should not be based solely on any expectation that either yields superior clinical outcomes compared to the other at short-term follow-up.

Abstract
Aims To determine the outcomes following revision surgery of metal-on-metal
hip arthroplasties (MoMHA) performed for adverse reactions to metal
debris (ARMD), and to identify factors predictive of re-revision. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective observational study using National
Joint Registry (NJR) data on 2535 MoMHAs undergoing revision surgery
for ARMD between 2008 and 2014. The outcomes studied following revision were
intra-operative complications, mortality and re-revision surgery.
Predictors of re-revision were identified using competing-risk regression
modelling. Results Intra-operative complications occurred in 40 revisions (1.6%).
The cumulative five-year patient survival rate was 95.9% (95% confidence
intervals (CI) 92.3 to 97.8). Re-revision surgery was performed
in 192 hips (7.6%). The cumulative five-year implant survival rate
was 89.5% (95% CI 87.3 to 91.3). Predictors of re-revision were
high body mass index at revision (subhazard ratio (SHR) 1.06 per
kg/m2 increase, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.09), modular component
only revisions (head and liner with or without taper adapter; SHR
2.01, 95% CI 1.19 to 3.38), ceramic-on-ceramic revision bearings
(SHR 1.86, 95% CI 1.23 to 2.80), and acetabular bone grafting (SHR
2.10, 95% CI 1.43 to 3.07). These four factors remained predictive
of re-revision when the missing data were imputed. Conclusion The short-term risk of re-revision following MoMHA revision surgery
performed for ARMD was comparable with that reported in the NJR
following all-cause non-MoMHA revision surgery. However, the factors
predictive of re-revision included those which could be modified
by the surgeon, suggesting that rates of failure following ARMD revision
may be reduced further. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:1020–7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoMHR) has been proposed as an effective surgical treatment for young and active patients with symptomatic hip disease. Recently, good clinical and radiographic outcomes have been reported by the designer surgeons at a 15.3 years follow-up; however, results at long follow-up by non-designer surgeons are less satisfactory. The aim of the study was to investigate if MoMHR can produce satisfactory clinical and radiographic results and if survival rate can be high even if the procedure is performed by non-designer surgeons. METHODS All patients were assessed about implant survival. All patients completed an Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and a University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score preoperatively, at 1 year and at last available follow-up; at this time, a standard anteroposterior weight-bearing radiograph was performed. RESULTS The survival rate with revision for any reason is 96%, similar to those obtained by designer surgeons. All the clinical scores improved over time: according to the OHS the survivors are asymptomatic and according to the UCLA maintain a high level of function. 6 remodellings of the femoral neck and 2 heterotopic bone formations were seen, but they were asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS As designer surgeons have already shown, MoMHR can provide in active patients a durable treatment for hip arthritis, with low risk of revision and good results at 10 years follow-up, even if the procedure is performed by non-designer surgeons.

Abstract
Objectives The high revision rates of the DePuy Articular Surface Replacement (ASR) and the DePuy ASR XL (the total hip arthroplasty (THA) version) have led to questions over the viability of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip joints. Some designs of MoM hip joint do, however, have reasonable mid-term performance when implanted in appropriate patients. Investigations into the reasons for implant failure are important to offer help with the choice of implants and direction for future implant designs. One way to assess the performance of explanted hip prostheses is to measure the wear (in terms of material loss) on the joint surfaces. Methods In this study, a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) was used to measure the wear on five failed cementless Biomet Magnum/ReCap/ Taperloc large head MoM THAs, along with one Biomet ReCap resurfacing joint. Surface roughness measurements were also taken. The reason for revision of these implants was pain and/or adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) and/or elevated blood metal ion levels. Results The mean wear rate of the articulating surfaces of the heads and acetabular components of all six joints tested was found to be 6.1 mm3/year (4.1 to 7.6). The mean wear rate of the femoral head tapers of the five THAs was 0.054 mm3/year (0.021 to 0.128) with a mean maximum wear depth of 5.7 µm (4.3 to 8.5). Conclusion Although the taper wear was relatively low, the wear from the articulating surfaces was sufficient to provide concern and was potentially large enough to have been the cause of failure of these joints. The authors believe that patients implanted with the ReCap system, whether the resurfacing prosthesis or the THA, should be closely monitored. Cite this article: S. C. Scholes, B. J. Hunt, V. M.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current role of metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings in hip arthroplasty remains controversial. The low wear offered by MoM bearings compared to metal-on-polyethylene and the possibility of a lower risk of dislocation with larger head sizes, encouraged a trend towards the re-introduction of the MoM bearing couple. However, recent evidence has shown that not all designs of the MoM bearing have been successful. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this paper is to provide an update on the use of MoM bearings and address the following issues: (1) the reintroduction of metal-on-metal bearings in total hip arthroplasty, (2) the failure of metal-on-metal bearings in stemmed total hip arthroplasty, (3) the role of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing in modern orthopaedics and (4) metal-on-metal hip resurfacing versus total hip arthroplasty. METHODS A literature search strategy was conducted using various search terms in MEDLINE and Embase. The highest quality articles that met the inclusion criteria and best answered the topics of focus of this review were selected. Key search terms included 'metal-on-metal', 'total hip arthroplasty' and 'hip resurfacing'. RESULTS The initial search retrieved 1240 articles. Twenty-two articles were selected and used in the review. CONCLUSION Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is still a suitable treatment option in specific patient populations with the appropriate implant design and surgical skill, while stemmed metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty should be avoided in all patient populations. Continued follow-up of patients undergoing metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is critical in order to further understand the long-term outcomes of these patients and why certain complications tend to occur with this procedure.

Abstract
Highly prevalent among the elderly, hip osteoarthritis (OA) carries a heavy burden of disease. Guidelines for the management of hip OA are often extrapolated from knee OA research, despite clear differences in the etiopathogenesis and response to treatments of OA at these sites. We propose that hip OA requires specific attention separate from other OA phenotypes. Our understanding of the etiopathogenesis of hip OA has seen significant advance over the last 15 years, since Ganz and colleagues proposed femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) as an important etiological factor. This narrative review summarizes the current understanding of the etiopathogenesis of hip OA and identifies areas requiring further research. Therapeutic approaches for hip OA are considered in light of the condition’s etiopathogenesis. The evidence for currently adopted management strategies is considered, especially those approaches that may have disease-modifying potential. We propose that shifting the focus of hip OA research and public health intervention to primary prevention and early detection may greatly improve the current management paradigm.

Abstract
The potential advantages of contemporary MoM THA implants include less volumetric wear with subsequent reduction of polyethylene wear-induced osteolysis and greater component stability with use of large-diameter femoral heads. However, there have been concerns regarding significantly elevated revision rates in MoM THA due to MoM-related complications such as adverse local tissue reaction (pseudotumour) formation. The increased failure rate in MoM hip arthroplasty is associated with the generation of biologically active, nanometer sized metal particles from the MoM bearing surfaces and taper junctions, which result in the development of a localized, adverse periprosthetic soft tissue response. The focus of this article is to provide an update on (1) implant, surgical and patient factors associated with adverse local tissue reactions (pseudotumours) and (2) the clinical systematic evaluation and management of patients with MoM hip arthroplasty based on the currently available evidence. There should be a low threshold to conduct a systematic clinical evaluation of patients with MoM hip arthroplasty as early recognition and diagnosis will allow the initiation of prompt and appropriate treatment. As a symptomatic MoM total hip arthroplasty may have intrinsic and extrinsic causes, patients should be evaluated systematically, utilizing risk stratification algorithms. Although specialized laboratory tests such as metal ion levels and cross sectional imaging modalities such as MARS MRI can be used to facilitate clinical decision making, over-reliance on any single investigative tool in the clinical decision-making process should be avoided. Further research is required to obtain a better understanding of implant and patient risk factors associated with tribocorrosion in MoM total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings were re-popularised in the late 1990s with the introduction of modern hip resurfacing (HR), followed closely by large metal head total hip arthroplasty (THA). A worldwide increase in the use of MoM hip arthroplasty subsequently saw a sharp decline, due to serious complications.MoM was rapidly adopted in the early 2000s until medical device alerts were issued by government regulatory agencies and national and international organisations, leading to post-marketing surveillance and discontinuation of these implants.Guidelines for MoM hip implant follow-up differ considerably between regulatory authorities worldwide; this can in part be attributed to missing or conflicting evidence.The authors consider that the use of large-head MoM THA should be discontinued. MoM HR should be approached with caution and, when considered, should be used only in patients who meet all of the recommended selection criteria, which limits its indications considerably.The phased introduction of new prostheses should be mandatory in future. Close monitoring of outcomes and long-term follow-up is also necessary for the introduction of new prostheses. Cite this article: van Lingen CP, Zagra LM, Ettema HB, Verheyen CC.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty of ceramic-on-ceramic bearing combinations is increasingly used clinically. The majority of these implants are used with cementless fixation that a metal-backing shell is press-fitted into the pelvic bone. This usually results in the deformation of the metallic shell, which may also influence the ceramic liner deformation and consequently the contact mechanics between the liner and the femoral head under loading. The explicit dynamic finite element method was applied to model the implantation of a cementless ceramic-on-ceramic with a titanium shell and subsequently to investigate the effect of the metallic shell deformation on the contact mechanics. A total of three impacts were found to be necessary to seat the titanium alloy shell into the pelvic bone cavity with a 1 mm diameter interference and a 1.3 kg impactor at 4500 mm s(-1) velocity. The maximum deformation of the metallic shell was found to be 160 µm in the antero-superior and postero-inferior direction and 97 µm in the antero-inferior and postero-superior direction after the press-fit. The corresponding values were slightly reduced to 67 and 45 µm after the ceramic liner was inserted and then modified to 74 and 43 µm under loading, respectively. The maximum deformation and the maximum principal stress of the ceramic liner were 31 µm and 144 MPa (tensile stress), respectively, after it was inserted into the shell and further increased to 52 µm and 245 MPa under loading. This research highlights the importance of the press-fit of the metallic shell on the contact mechanics of the ceramic liner for ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasties and potential clinical performances.
