Abstract
In revision total hip arthroplasty, achieving robust fixation is difficult and implant movement may occur over time. Bone may also rearrange around the implant as a result of mechanical loading, making the measurement of migration challenging. The study aimed to quantify changes in bone shape and implant position 1 year following acetabular reconstruction using custom three-dimensional-printed cups. This observational retrospective cohort study involved 23 patients with Paprosky type IIIB defects. Postop computed tomography scans taken within 1 week of surgery and at 1-year postsurgery were co-registered and analyzed. Three co-registration strategies were implemented including bone-to-bone and implant-to-implant. (1) Co-registration of the ipsilateral innominate bone (diseased anatomy) was used to measure changes in implant position. (2) Co-registration of the implant was carried out to quantify changes in the ipsilateral innominate bone shape. (3) Co-registration of the contralateral innominate bone (nondiseased anatomy) was performed to measure changes in the ipsilateral innominate bone shape and implant position. The median centroid distances (interquartile range [IQR]) were 2.3 mm (IQR: 3.7-1.7 mm) for changes in implant position, 2.4 mm (IQR: 3.6-1.6 mm) for changes in ipsilateral innominate bone shape, and 3.7 mm (IQR: 4.6-3.5 mm) for changes in ipsilateral innominate bone shape and implant position. Following acetabular reconstruction, implant movements and periprosthetic bone remodeling are physiological and of a similar extent. Surgeons and engineers should consider this when performing implant monitoring in these patients.

Abstract
Component-on-component impingement in total hip arthroplasty may lead to post-operative complications including dislocation. Despite numerous clinical studies focusing on reducing this risk, assessment methods remain limited to qualitative radiography, finite element analysis, and cadaver studies. There is a need for more precise measurements of impingement in the research setting. We aimed to validate a novel RSA-based impingement metric to measure component-on-component impingement in vivo. A phantom experiment of a standard metal-on-polyethylene total hip system was performed. RSA examinations were performed as typical for a traditional weight-bearing RSA exam for large joints. The phantom was placed in 10 possible impinged positions and one neutral position. Double exposure radiographs were taken to measure repeatability. The closest distance between the skirt of the head and the inner circumference of the acetabular cup liner was measured to assess impingement risk. Distances between the closest point of the hood to the edge of the cup in 10 impinged positions ranged from 0.05 to 1.03 mm, with the average being 0.67 mm. In the neutral position, the distance measured is 11.02 mm. Excellent repeatability was observed, with a standard deviation of 0.03 mm with an r value of 0.09. A validated RSA-based risk metric was established to evaluate in vivo hip impingement. A 1 mm threshold may be proposed to define impingement where distances approaching 1.00 mm are at a greater risk of impingement. This simplified metric holds promise for upcoming clinical studies on component-on-component impingement.

Abstract
Due to the increase in the life span and mobility at older ages, the number of implanted prosthetic joints is constantly increasing. However, the number of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), one of the most severe complications after total joint arthroplasty, also shows an increasing trend. PJI has an incidence of 1-2% in the case of primary arthroplasties and up to 4% in the case of revision operations. The development of efficient protocols for managing periprosthetic infections can lead to the establishment of preventive measures and effective diagnostic methods based on the results obtained after the laboratory tests. In this review, we will briefly present the current methods used in PJI diagnosis and the current and emerging synovial biomarkers used for the prognosis, prophylaxis, and early diagnosis of periprosthetic infections. We will discuss treatment failure that may result from patient factors, microbiological factors, or factors related to errors during diagnosis.

Cao H. Accuracy of radiostereometric analysis using a motorized Roentgen system in a pilot study for clinical simulation. Med Eng Phys 2023; 111:103929. [PMID: 36792244 DOI: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2022.103929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is routinely implemented with two paired Roentgen tubes for three-dimensional (3D) implant migration measurements. A conventional set-up of one stationary tube and one mobile could be time-consuming. Utilizing two customized ceiling-mounted tubes is normally associated with investment costs. Thus, a pilot set-up of a motorized system (single Roentgen source) for radiostereometric image acquisition may be a time-saving and space-efficient alternative. RSA using the motorized system is feasible in this study as a non-synchronized image acquisition technique, however, patient motion may occur and influence the assessment of implant migration. The phantom study aimed to assess accuracy of RSA using the motorized Roentgen system in this in vitro study. Accuracy values of translations and rotations were ±0.29 mm and ±0.48° for the single Roentgen source RSA set-up and ±0.26 mm and ±0.48° for the conventional RSA set-up. This study was also performed to simulate potential patient motion during exposure intervals between paired image acquisition. RSA using the motorized system is able to implement RSA with acceptable accuracy. In general, RSA with synchronized image acquisition is the gold standard to access in vivo implant migration with the highest accuracy. Patient motion exists in non-synchronized image acquisition techniques and results in RSA-related motion artifacts. Then we introduced what RSA-related motion artifacts are. The uniplanar calibration cage applied in the study has a few fiducial and control markers, and some of the markers were occluded in radiographs. Whereas, the number of markers in the calibration cage is correlated with accuracy of 3D implant reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidized zirconium (OxZi) femoral heads combine the decreased abrasive properties of ceramics with the toughness of metal alloys to lower wear and increase the durability of total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare the 10-year polyethylene wear rates between OxZi/XLPE and cobalt chrome (CoCr)/XLPE articulations. METHODS A radiostereometric analysis (RSA) was performed on two cohorts of 23 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using either OxZi/XLPE or CoCr/XLPE at a minimum of 10-year follow-up. Cohorts were matched for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and diagnosis. Polyethylene wear was measured using RSA to determine total and steady-state wear rates for both cohorts. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (SF12, HHS, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index scores) were compared. RESULTS The mean total head penetration rate was found to be statistically different between the entire cohorts (OxZi 0.048 ± 0.021 mm/y, CoCr 0.035 ± 0.017 mm/y, P = .02) but not when 28-mm heads only (OxZi 0.045 ± 0.016 mm/y, CoCr 0.034 ± 0.017 mm/y, P = .066) were directly compared. The mean steady-state wear rate was not significantly different between the entire cohorts (OxZi 0.031 ± 0.021 mm/y, CoCr 0.024 ± 0.019 mm/y, P = .24) or 28-mm head cohorts (OxZi 0.028 ± 0.019 mm/y, CoCr 0.024 ± 0.019 mm/y, P = .574). Outcome measures showed no statistical difference except for the Harris Hip Score where the OxZi cohort demonstrated higher median scores. CONCLUSION Using RSA to evaluate the 10-year in-vivo head penetration, there was no statistically significant difference in steady-state wear rates between OxZi and CoCr articulations. Both bearing combinations demonstrated wear rates well below the threshold for osteolysis.

Abstract
Background Hip instability is one of the etiologies of accelerated onset of osteoarthritis in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). There are some radiological parameters for hip instability in hip dysplasia like broken shenton’s line, elevated acetabular index, reduced lateral center edge angle (LCEA), upsloping lateral sourcil. We have discovered a new index of teardrop distance (TD) for assessing instability. Herein, we hypothesized that increased TD could be used as evidence of hip instability in DDH patients, which we verified using TD as an auxiliary diagnostic parameter for DDH, from supine to standing position. Methods Female DDH patients undergoing Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) were enrolled in the DDH group, and normal female volunteers were in the control group. Anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis in the supine and standing positions were taken, and LCEA, Tönnis angle (TA), sharp angle (SA), and TD were tested using Stata software to analyze the changes between supine and standing anteroposterior pelvic radiographs. Results There were 26 female volunteers with 52 hips in the control group: supine TD 6.80 ± 0.98 mm, standing TD 6.65 ± 1.3 mm (P > 0.05). A total of 78 patients with 135 hips were included in the DDH group: supine TD 10.51 ± 3.50 mm, standing TD 10.93 ± 4.23 mm (P < 0.05). In either supine or standing position, TD in the DDH group was significantly wider than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In the DDH group, TD was correlated with TA and LCEA (rp 0.494–0.588, P < 0.05); TD was not correlated with SA, weight, or BMI (P > 0.05). There was a weak correlation between TD difference and standing LCEA (rp −0.276, P < 0.05). Conclusion TD > 10 mm was a common imaging feature of DDH. It increased from supine to standing position, thus indicating hip instability in DDH patients. The hip parameters of both positions should be compared, fully considering the factors of hip stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Instability constitutes over 20% of revisions after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Dual mobility (DM) designs were introduced as a solution to this problem. However, the few publications that have reported promising results for monobloc DM constructs have been limited by sample size or length of follow-up. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mid-term outcomes (minimum 5-year follow-up) of a single-surgeon series utilizing a monobloc DM acetabular component in patients with high risk for dislocation. METHODS This is a single-surgeon consecutive series of 207 primary THAs implanted with a monobloc DM component in patients who were considered at high risk for dislocation. Patient demographics and case-specific data were collected retrospectively. All patients had a minimum of 5-year follow-up. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess continuous variables, whereas categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Survival probability was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Radiographic analysis did not reveal acetabular radiolucency in any patients, and there were no revisions for aseptic loosening. In addition, there were no dislocations. Seven of 205 patients (3.4%) were revised, 5 on the femoral side due to periprosthetic fracture and the remaining two for infection. Survivorship of the acetabular component from revision was 99%. The mean Veteran RAND (VR-12) physical score improved from 7 (standard deviation [SD]: 13.7) preoperatively to 9.5 (SD: 17.6) at the final follow-up. Similarly, the hip disability osteoarthritis score improved from 8 (SD: 17.9) preoperatively to 21.2 (SD: 37). CONCLUSION Monobloc DM components reliably prevent dislocation after primary THA in high-risk patients. At mid-term follow-up, this DM monobloc component demonstrates excellent implant survivorship, radiographic fixation, and improved functional outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing interest in shorter, proximally loading, uncemented femoral stems. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new short stem type, its design based on a well-proven precursor, but with several new design features to facilitate easier insertion and possible preservation of proximal bone stock. It is available with or without a collar. METHODS The study includes 50 patients with primary osteoarthritis, mean age 59 (range 36-75) years, randomised to receive either the collar-fitted or the collarless stem. The patients underwent repeated radiostereometry (RSA) examinations (0, 0.5, 3, 12, 24 months), conventional radiography and filled out both hip-specific (HOOS) and general health (EQ-5D) questionnaires. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the collared and collarless stems regarding migration and clinical outcome. Both stem types exhibit a similar pattern of initial subsidence (collared 0.63 mm vs. collarless 0.75 mm [p = 0.50]) and retroversion (collared 0.71° vs. collarless 0.97° [p = 0.36]) up to 3 months followed by stabilisation, in similarity with its precursors, suggesting good osseointegration. No stem has been revised or considered loose. CONCLUSIONS The new design features, including shortening the stem, do not compromise migration pattern or osseointegration, regardless collar or not.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach has increased in popularity in the last decade, with research supporting enhanced early recovery; however, some investigators have reported increased early revision rates in direct anterior THA. We examined outcomes from a single institution's experience with a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stem implanted via the anterior or the lateral approach. Methods Patients who had received fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared femoral stems as part of THA surgery performed by 1 of 3 surgeons between January 2012 and September 2017 were identified from our institutional database. We examined revision rates for the 2 approaches and compared them between the 2 groups. We also analyzed outcomes on plain film radiographs obtained immediately postoperatively and at 1 and 2 years. Results A total of 695 patients received a fully hydroxyapatite-coated collared stem during the study period. Total hip arthroplasty was performed via the direct anterior approach in 281/778 hips (36.1%) and via the direct lateral approach in 497 (63.9%). Nineteen patients (2.5%) underwent subsequent revision surgery; there was no statistically significant difference in the revision rate between the anterior and lateral approaches (2.5% v. 2.4%, p = 0.95). The mean subsidence of the stem at 1 year was 1.68 mm (standard deviation 11.7 mm). No statistically significant differences were observed between the cohorts for any of the radiographic measurements at either follow-up time. Conclusion We found no significant difference in revision rates between the direct anterior and direct lateral approach. Stem subsidence levels were in keeping with expected values, and no major changes in stem position occurred during the first postoperative year. Surgical approach did not appear to substantially affect biomechanical stem behaviour.

Abstract
Background:
Periprosthetic bone loss after Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), detected as an early migration of the prosthesis may predict later loosening of the implant.
Objective:
We hypothesized that intra-operative bisphosphonate rinsing would reduce bone resorption after THA. It might therefore be possible to achieve better early fixation of the implant.
Methods:
Nineteen patients suffering from arthrosis were recruited in a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical pilot trial. Patients were operated with an uncemented Bimetric stem using tantalum markers. The femoral proximal intramedullary canal was rinsed with 1mM clodronate in nine patients and with saline in 10 patients. These patients were followed for two years using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the Harris Hip Score (HHS).
Results:
We did not found any significant differences between the study groups with regards to the primary output measures (maximum total point motion, MTPM). However, there was evidence that clodronate could affect periprosthetic bone quality; a beneficial effect in BMD in Gruen zone 3 during the two-year follow-up was observed, BMD decreased less in the clodronate group (p = 0.02). The maximal x-translation of the stem at 3-24 months was significantly two-fold, being higher in the placebo group (p = 0.02). The baseline BMD and the maximal total point motion (MTPM) at 3-24 months showed a positive correlation in the clodronate group and a negative correlation in the placebo group.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, further studies with larger patient groups and longer follow-up periods are needed to estimate the clinical importance of these findings and further to prove if an intraoperative clodronate rinsing prior to application of femoral stem during THA can prevent periprosthetic bone loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term clinical success of cemented polished tapered femoral components has been demonstrated in prospective as well as registry studies. This stem design type has also been well studied with radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and provides a standard to evaluate alternative designs of polished tapered cemented femoral components. This prospective study evaluates the subsidence of a polished cemented stem with a modular neck design utilising RSA. METHODS 26 patients were prospectively enrolled in the study and 23 were available for RSA analysis at 2 years. RESULTS The average subsidence of the femoral implant was 1.1 mm (SD 0.4 mm) at 2 years post operation. There were no revisions in this group, specifically no failures of the modular stem-neck design as has been seen with other implants. CONCLUSIONS The RSA subsidence pattern at 2 years of this cemented femoral stem is similar to other successful designs with long-term follow-up. The implications over time of stem neck modularity for cemented polished tapered femoral components requires further evaluation.

Abstract
PURPOSE In press-fit total hip arthroplasty (THA), primary stability is needed to avoid micromotion and hereby aseptic loosening, the main reason for early revision. High aseptic loosening revision rates of the seleXys TH+ cup (Mathys Medical) with Ceramys ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearing are seen in literature. Since CoC is presumed to overcome long-term wear-related revisions, the reason for early failure of this cup is important to clarify. The aim is to investigate its ten year outcomes and differentiate between potential causes and identify risk factors for aseptic loosening. METHODS Retrospective screening of a prospectively documented series of 315 THAs was performed. Primary outcome was cumulative incidence of cup revision due to aseptic loosening. Secondary outcomes were component revision and reoperation. Additionally, potential predictive factors for aseptic loosening were evaluated. RESULTS At the median follow-up of 9.7 years [IQR 4.4; 10.3], 48 TH+ (15.2%) were revised due to aseptic loosening. Competing risk analysis showed a ten year cumulative incidence of cup revision due to aseptic loosening of 15.6% (95% CI 12.0-20.2). Stabilization of early revision rates was observed, following a high rate of respectively 81.3% (n = 39) and 95.8% (n = 46) within the first two and three years. No significant predictive factors for aseptic loosening were found. CONCLUSION The ten year results of seleXys TH+ cup with Ceramys CoC bearing showed an unacceptable high aseptic loosening rate, which stabilized over time after a high early failure incidence. This could be attributed to a problem with osseointegration during the transition of primary to definitive stability.

Vitamin E-blended highly cross-linked polyethylene liners in total hip arthroplasty: a randomized, multicenter trial using virtual CAD-based wear analysis at 5-year follow-up. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2020; 140:1859-1866. [PMID: 32048017 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-020-03358-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Progressive oxidation of highly cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight (UHMPWE-X) liners is considered to be a risk factor for material failure in THA. Antioxidants such as vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) (UHMWPE-XE) were supplemented into the latest generation of polyethylene liners. To prevent inhomogenous vitamin E distribution within the polymer, blending was established as an alternative manufacturing process to diffusion. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the in vivo wear behavior of UHMWPE-XE in comparison with conventional UHMWPE-X liners using virtual CAD-based radiographs. METHODS Until now, 94 patients from a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study were reviewed at 5-year follow-up. Of these, 51 (54%) received UHMWPE-XE and 43 (46%) UHMWPE-X liners. Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were made immediately after surgery and at 1 and 5 years postoperatively. The radiographs were analyzed using the observer-independent analysis software RayMatch® (Raylytic GmbH, Leipzig, Germany). RESULTS The mean wear rate was measured to be 23.6 μm/year (SD 13.7; range 0.7-71.8 μm). There were no significant differences between the two cohorts (UHMWPE-X: 23.2 μm/year vs. UHMWPE-XE: 24.0 μm/year, p = 0.73). Cup anteversion significantly changed within the 1st year after implantation independent from the type of polyethylene liner [UHMWPE-X: 18.2-23.9° (p = 0.0001); UHMWPE-XE: 21.0-25.5° (p = 0.002)]. No further significant changes of cup anteversion in both groups were found between year 1 and 5 after implantation [UHMWPE-X (p = 0.46); UHMWPE-XE (p = 0.56)]. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that the addition of vitamin E does not adversely affect the midterm wear behavior of UHMWPE-X. The antioxidative benefit of vitamin E is expected to become evident in long-term follow-up. Cup anteversion increment by 5° within the 1st year is likely a result of the released hip flexion contracture resulting in an enhanced posterior pelvic tilt. Therefore, a reassessment of target values in acetabular cup placement might be considered.

Abstract
Tibial plateau fractures are a risk to the functional integrity of the knee, affecting the axial alignment and capable of leading to pain and disability of the individual. Early weight bearing and joint mobilization can prevent these functional deficits. the goal of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature about studies that quote the beginning, evolution, and progression criteria for weight-bearing in postoperative period of tibial plateau fractures. We selected articles published in the last 12 years, in Portuguese and English, that described the time of onset and progression of weight-bearing, considering the severity of the fracture. Thirty-six articles were selected. There is no consensus in the literature as to the beginning and evolution of weight-bearing in the postoperative period of tibial plateau fractures; however, a relationship between the severity of the fracture and the fixation method has been observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The magnitude and pattern of acceptable long-term migration of cementless femoral stems are not well understood. The Corail hydroxyapatite-coated cementless stem is a clinically successful and commonly used femoral stem with a long-term migration pattern not previously described in the literature. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term migration of the Corail hydroxyapatite-coated cementless stem using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) at 14-year follow-up, thereby establishing a benchmark acceptable long-term migration pattern for hydroxyapatite-coated cementless prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective cohort of 29 patients (30 hips) undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty for primary hip osteoarthritis were enrolled into a study to characterise the migration of the Corail cementless stem. A total of 13 patients (4 males, 9 females) with mean age 82 (range 68-92) underwent repeat RSA radiographs at minimum 10 years post-operation (mean 13.9 years, range 13.3-14.4). Subsidence of the stem was measured and compared to prior measurements taken at 6 months and 1, 2, and 6 years. RESULTS None of the 13 patients have been revised. The migration at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 6 years has been previously recorded. At mean 14-year follow-up, the cohort mean subsidence of the cementless stem was 0.70 mm (range - 0.06 to 3.61 mm). For each stem followed up at 6 months and 14 years, the mean subsidence over this period was 0.05 mm (range - 0.14 to 0.57 mm). There is no significant difference in mean subsidence at 6 months and 14 years (p = 0.43). CONCLUSIONS The long-term pattern of the subsidence of the Corail femoral stem has not previously been described. Subsidence occurs within the first 6 months, after which there is persistent stabilisation of the implant to 14 years. This study provides a description of a long-term acceptable migration pattern to which new hydroxyapatite-coated cementless prostheses may be compared. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increasing pressure in the clinic requires a more standardized approach to radiostereometric analysis (RSA) imaging. The aim of this study was to investigate whether implementation of personalized RSA patient protocols could increase image quality and decrease examination time and the number of exposure repetitions. METHODS Forty patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty were equally randomized to either a case or a control group. Radiographers in the case group were assisted by personalized patient protocols containing information about each patient's post-operative RSA imaging. Radiographers in the control group used a standard RSA protocol. RESULTS At three months, radiographers in the case group significantly reduced (p < 0.001) the number of exposures by 1.6, examination time with 19.2 min, and distance between centrum of prosthesis and centrum of calibration field with 34.1 mm when compared to post-operative (baseline) results. At twelve months, the case group significantly reduced (p < 0.001) number of exposures by two, examination time with 22.5 min, and centrum of prosthesis to centrum of calibration field distance with 43.1 mm when compared to baseline results. No significant improvements were found in the control group at any time point. CONCLUSION There is strong evidence that personalized RSA patient protocols have a positive effect on image quality and radiation dose savings. Implementation of personal patient protocols as a RSA standard will contribute to the reduction of examination time, thus ensuring a cost benefit for department and patient safety.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Producing x-ray images for radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is a demanding technique. Suboptimal examinations result in a high percentage of exposure repetition. The aim of this pilot study was to use an experiential training approach to sharpen the skills of radiographers in acquiring images of an optimal quality. METHODS A controlled trial using action research strategy was used. The study entailed a two phased approach. Radiographers were purposefully recruited and trained to perform the required investigations. Each phase included 12 examinations of a total knee arthroplasty phantom followed by 10 patient examinations. The quality of all x-ray images performed during the two phases was characterized by measuring the number of visible beads, the center position of the prosthesis (CP) compared to the center of calibration field (CCF). The number of re-exposures used to obtain a usable image during patient examinations was also recorded. RESULTS The radiographers undergoing the training resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of images produced and visualization of the beads. That is, the ability to move the CP on average 36.1 mm closer to the CCF (p < 0.001), the number of visible beads increased by 3.1 (p < 0.001) and radiographers needed 2.1-2.9 exposures less to obtain RSA images of sufficient qualities during patient examinations in phase 2 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study illustrates the value of experiential method of teaching and learning with minimal compromise on patient safety but a significant contribution in terms of establishing quality of RSA images.

Are CT Scans a Satisfactory Substitute for the Follow-Up of RSA Migration Studies of Uncemented Cups? A Comparison of RSA Double Examinations and CT Datasets of 46 Total Hip Arthroplasties. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:3681458. [PMID: 28243598 PMCID: PMC5294349 DOI: 10.1155/2017/3681458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2016] [Revised: 11/18/2016] [Accepted: 12/12/2016] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
As part of the 14-year follow-up of a prospectively randomized radiostereometry (RSA) study on uncemented cup fixation, two pairs of stereo radiographs and a CT scan of 46 hips were compared. Tantalum beads, inserted during the primary operation, were detected in the CT volume and the stereo radiographs and used to produce datasets of 3D coordinates. The limit of agreement between the combined CT and RSA datasets was calculated in the same way as the precision of the double RSA examination. The precision of RSA corresponding to the 99% confidence interval was 1.36°, 1.36°, and 0.60° for X-, Y-, and Z-rotation and 0.40, 0.17, and 0.37 mm for X-, Y-, and Z-translation. The limit of agreement between CT and RSA was 1.51°, 2.17°, and 1.05° for rotation and 0.59, 0.56, and 0.74 mm for translation. The differences between CT and RSA are close to the described normal 99% confidence interval for precision in RSA: 0.3° to 2° for rotation and 0.15 to 0.6 mm for translation. We conclude that measurements using CT and RSA are comparable and that CT can be used for migration studies for longitudinal evaluations of patients with RSA markers.

Abstract
Background and Purpose. The gold standard for detection of implant wear and migration is currently radiostereometry (RSA). The purpose of this study is to compare a three-dimensional computed tomography technique (3D CT) to standard RSA as an alternative technique for measuring migration of acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods. With tantalum beads, we marked one cemented and one uncemented cup and mounted these on a similarly marked pelvic model. A comparison was made between 3D CT and standard RSA for measuring migration. Twelve repeated stereoradiographs and CT scans with double examinations in each position and gradual migration of the implants were made. Precision and accuracy of the 3D CT were calculated. Results. The accuracy of the 3D CT ranged between 0.07 and 0.32 mm for translations and 0.21 and 0.82° for rotation. The precision ranged between 0.01 and 0.09 mm for translations and 0.06 and 0.29° for rotations, respectively. For standard RSA, the precision ranged between 0.04 and 0.09 mm for translations and 0.08 and 0.32° for rotations, respectively. There was no significant difference in precision between 3D CT and standard RSA. The effective radiation dose of the 3D CT method, comparable to RSA, was estimated to be 0.33 mSv. Interpretation. Low dose 3D CT is a comparable method to standard RSA in an experimental setting.

Abstract
Objectives High failure rates of metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty implants have highlighted the need for more careful introduction and monitoring of new implants and for the evaluation of the safety of medical devices. The National Joint Registry and other regulatory services are unable to detect failing implants at an early enough stage. We aimed to identify validated surrogate markers of long-term outcome in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating surrogate markers for predicting long-term outcome in primary THA. Long-term outcome was defined as revision rate of an implant at ten years according to National Institute of Health and Care Excellence guidelines. We conducted a search of Medline and Embase (OVID) databases. Separate search strategies were devised for the Cochrane database and Google Scholar. Each search was performed to include articles from the date of their inception to June 8, 2015. Results Our search strategy identified 1082 studies of which 115 studies were included for full article review. Following review, 17 articles were found that investigated surrogate markers of long-term outcome. These included one systematic review, one randomised control trial (RCT), one case control study and 13 case series. Validated surrogate markers included Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) and Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyse (EBRA), each measuring implant migration and wear. We identified five RSA studies (one systematic review and four case series) and four EBRA studies (one RCT and three case series). Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at six months have been investigated but have not been validated against long-term outcomes. Conclusions This systematic review identified two validated surrogate markers of long-term primary THA outcome: RSA and EBRA, each measuring implant migration and wear. We recommend the consideration of RSA in the pre-market testing of new implants. EBRA can be used to investigate acetabular wear but not femoral migration. Further studies are needed to validate the use of PROMs for post-market surveillance. Cite this article: T. T. Malak, J. A. J. Broomfield, A. J. R. Palmer, S. Hopewell, A. Carr, C. Brown, D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip replacement (THR) involves the replacement of a damaged hip joint with an artificial hip prosthesis. Resurfacing arthroplasty (RS) involves replacement of the joint surface of the femoral head with a metal surface covering. OBJECTIVES To undertake clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness analysis of different types of THR and RS for the treatment of pain and disability in people with end-stage arthritis of the hip, in particular to compare the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of (1) different types of primary THR and RS for people in whom both procedures are suitable and (2) different types of primary THR for people who are not suitable for hip RS. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Current Controlled Trials and UK Clinical Research Network (UKCRN) Portfolio Database were searched in December 2012, with searches limited to publications from 2008 and sample sizes of ≥ 100 participants. Reference lists and websites of manufacturers and professional organisations were also screened. REVIEW METHODS Systematic reviews of the literature were undertaken to appraise the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different types of THR and RS for people with end-stage arthritis of the hip. Included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews were data extracted and risk of bias and methodological quality were independently assessed by two reviewers using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool and the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) tool. A Markov multistate model was developed for the economic evaluation of the technologies. Sensitivity analyses stratified by sex and controlled for age were carried out to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS A total of 2469 records were screened of which 37 were included, representing 16 RCTs and eight systematic reviews. The mean post-THR Harris Hip Score measured at different follow-up times (from 6 months to 10 years) did not differ between THR groups, including between cross-linked polyethylene and traditional polyethylene cup liners (pooled mean difference 2.29, 95% confidence interval -0.88 to 5.45). Five systematic reviews reported evidence on different types of THR (cemented vs. cementless cup fixation and implant articulation materials) but these reviews were inconclusive. Eleven cost-effectiveness studies were included; four provided relevant cost and utility data for the model. Thirty registry studies were included, with no studies reporting better implant survival for RS than for all types of THR. For all analyses, mean costs for RS were higher than those for THR and mean quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were lower. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for RS was dominated by THR, that is, THR was cheaper and more effective than RS (for a lifetime horizon in the base-case analysis, the incremental cost of RS was £11,284 and the incremental QALYs were -0.0879). For all age and sex groups RS remained clearly dominated by THR. Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves showed that, for all patients, THR was almost 100% cost-effective at any willingness-to-pay level. There were age and sex differences in the populations with different types of THR and variations in revision rates (from 1.6% to 3.5% at 9 years). For the base-case analysis, for all age and sex groups and a lifetime horizon, mean costs for category E (cemented components with a polyethylene-on-ceramic articulation) were slightly lower and mean QALYs for category E were slightly higher than those for all other THR categories in both deterministic and probabilistic analyses. Hence, category E dominated the other four categories. Sensitivity analysis using an age- and sex-adjusted log-normal model demonstrated that, over a lifetime horizon and at a willingness-to-pay threshold of £20,000 per QALY, categories A and E were equally likely (50%) to be cost-effective. LIMITATIONS A large proportion of the included studies were inconclusive because of poor reporting, missing data, inconsistent results and/or great uncertainty in the treatment effect estimates. This warrants cautious interpretation of the findings. The evidence on complications was scarce, which may be because of the absence or rarity of these events or because of under-reporting. The poor reporting meant that it was not possible to explore contextual factors that might have influenced study results and also reduced the applicability of the findings to routine clinical practice in the UK. The scope of the review was limited to evidence published in English in 2008 or later, which could be interpreted as a weakness; however, systematic reviews would provide summary evidence for studies published before 2008. CONCLUSIONS Compared with THR, revision rates for RS were higher, mean costs for RS were higher and mean QALYs gained were lower; RS was dominated by THR. Similar results were obtained in the deterministic and probabilistic analyses and for all age and sex groups THR was almost 100% cost-effective at any willingness-to-pay level. Revision rates for all types of THR were low. Category A THR (cemented components with a polyethylene-on-metal articulation) was more cost-effective for older age groups. However, across all age-sex groups combined, the mean cost for category E THR (cemented components with a polyethylene-on-ceramic articulation) was slightly lower and the mean QALYs gained were slightly higher. Category E therefore dominated the other four categories. Certain types of THR appeared to confer some benefit, including larger femoral head sizes, use of a cemented cup, use of a cross-linked polyethylene cup liner and a ceramic-on-ceramic as opposed to a metal-on-polyethylene articulation. Further RCTs with long-term follow-up are needed. STUDY REGISTRATION This study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42013003924.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Even small design modifications of uncemented hip stems may alter the postoperative 3-D migration pattern. The Furlong Active is an uncemented femoral stem which, in terms of design, is based on its precursor-the well-proven Furlong HAC-but has undergone several design changes. The collar has been removed on the Active stem along with the lateral fin; it is shorter and has more rounded edges in the proximal part. We compared the migration patterns of the uncemented Furlong HAC stem and the modified Furlong Active stem in a randomized, controlled trial over 5 years using radiostereometry (RSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS 50 patients with primary osteoarthritis were randomized to receive either the HAC stem or the Active stem. The patients underwent repeated RSA examinations (postoperatively, at 3 months, and after 1, 2, and 5 years) and conventional radiography, and they also filled out hip-specific questionnaires. RESULTS During the first 3 months, the collarless Active stem subsided to a greater extent than the collar-fitted HAC stem (0.99 mm vs. 0.31 mm, p=0.05). There were, however, no other differences in movement measured by RSA or in clinical outcome between the 2 stems. After 3 months, both stem types had stabilized and almost no further migration was seen. INTERPRETATION The Active stem showed no signs of unfavorable migration. Our results suggest that the osseointegration is not compromised by the new design features.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty has yielded excellent results in decreasing pain and enhancing function in patients with hip degenerative disease. However, the problems associated with prosthetic failure and the consequent need for revision surgery still represent a major clinical issue. The most common reasons for revision surgery include implant loosening, periprosthetic osteolysis, infection, malalignment, stiffness, implant failure or fracture, and wear. The need for eliminating or reducing wear plays a crucial role in refining prosthesis composition and design. In this regard, it is important to develop new techniques for more accurate and reproducible measurement of wear. This should allow earlier detection of increased wear and thus permit earlier identification of patients who are at risk, and also help to identify faulty implant designs.
This work is aimed at discussing the most common in vivo and in vitro methods used for evaluating the wear of hip prosthesis components.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty is a cost-effective surgical procedure undertaken to relieve pain and restore function to the arthritic hip joint. More than 1 million arthroplasties are done every year worldwide, and this number is projected to double within the next two decades. Symptomatic osteoarthritis is the indication for surgery in more than 90% of patients, and its incidence is increasing because of an ageing population and the obesity epidemic. Excellent functional outcomes are reported; however, careful patient selection is needed to achieve best possible results. The present economic situation in many developed countries will place increased pressure on containment of costs. Future demand for hip arthroplasty, especially in patients younger than 65 years, emphasises the need for objective outcome measures and joint registries that can track lifetime implant survivorship. New generations of bearing surfaces such as metal-on-metal, ceramic-on-ceramic, and metal-on-ceramic, and techniques such as resurfacing arthroplasty have the potential to improve outcomes and survivorship, but findings from prospective trials are needed to show efficacy. With the recall of some metal-on-metal bearings, new bearing surfaces have to be monitored carefully before they can be assumed to be better than traditional bearings.

Abstract
A prospective cohort of 30 patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty for treatment of osteoarthritis was enrolled in a study to characterize the migration behavior of a clinically successful cementless stem. At 6 years, the mean subsidence of the stem was 0.63 mm (range, -0.33 to 3.68 mm); the mean rotation into retroversion was 1.41° (range, -1.33° to 7.48°). No stems had additional subsidence of more than 0.25 mm between 6 months and 6 years. The resultant mean subsidence between 2 and 6 years was 0.03 mm, which is below the limit measurable by radiostereometric analysis. The data demonstrate that subsidence of this cementless stem occurs within the first 6 months, after which there is persistent stabilization.
