[PMID: 38743113 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05368-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic fractures in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been well described and studied. However, there is a lack of reports on ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures during THA due to the rare occurrence of such fractures and ambiguity of symptoms. With the use of postoperative computed tomography (CT) examinations, we have identified that asymptomatic ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures occur frequently during THA. This study aims to evaluate the incidence, location, clinical outcomes, and risk factors of ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures during THA. METHODS From May 2022 to March 2023, a single surgeon performed 203 THAs in 183 patients at a single institution. All patients underwent postoperative CT scans three days after THA. The patients with ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures were followed up for a minimum of six months. Basic demographics, osteoporosis, general conditions of the operations, and outcomes of THA were investigated in all patients. RESULTS Twenty-two cases (10.8%) of ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures were identified on postoperative CT scans. All fractures were located near the origin of the superior or inferior pubic ramus. Five fractures were detected on simple postoperative radiographs. The fractures did not cause any further complications at a minimum of six-month postoperative follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses did not identify any risk factors associated with these fractures. CONCLUSIONS Although the incidence of ipsilateral pubic ramus fractures during THA is high, treatment is not required as they do not cause any significant clinical symptoms or affect the prognosis of THA. However, the possibility of occurrence of these fractures must be explained to the patients before surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Unlike periprosthetic femoral fractures, periprosthetic acetabular fractures during total hip arthroplasty (THA) have not been evaluated in detail. We prospectively evaluated the incidence, patterns, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of intraoperative periprosthetic acetabular fractures using pre- and postoperative computer tomography (CT). METHODS In this prospective single-centre study, we evaluated 234 consecutive patients (250 hips) who underwent THA and three-dimensional CT before and after the surgery. We assessed the incidence, pattern of fractures, outcomes for each fracture pattern, reoperation and revision rates, Harris hip score, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain. Multivariate regression models were used to identify risk factors for periprosthetic acetabular fractures. RESULTS In total, 43 periprosthetic acetabular fractures (17.2%) were identified via CT. Fractures occurred most frequently at the superolateral wall. Early cup migration occurred in three hips. None of the patients underwent revision surgery for acetabular loosening. Regression modeling showed that rheumatoid arthritis was a significant predictor of periprosthetic acetabular fractures. CONCLUSIONS Periprosthetic acetabular fractures are not infrequent during cementless THA and are more common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Intraoperative fractures of the acetabulum are a rare but serious complication during total hip arthroplasty. Acute fractures generally require attention with plating, whereas chronic acetabular fractures may be approached with distraction, a Burch-Schneider cage, or a custom implant. It is imperative for arthroplasty surgeons to possess a thorough understanding of how to identify and manage these injuries. Collaborating with an orthopedic traumatologist for assistance with plating the anterior or posterior column, if necessary, can be invaluable. Management options encompass conservative management, revision style acetabular component, screw/plating of anterior/posterior column, and the use of a larger cup with multiple screw augmentation options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early cup migration after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is correlated to late revision due to aseptic loosening. However, the use of screws for increased cup stability remains unclear and debated. The purpose of this study is to assess acetabular migration between cups fixated with and without the use of screws. METHODS Patients underwent primary THA using either a direct anterior (DA) or a direct lateral (DL) approach. The DA surgeon routinely supplemented cup fixation with 1 or 2 screws while the DL surgeon used no screws. At 7 follow-up visits up to 2 years post operation, patients underwent radiostereometric analysis (RSA) imaging for implant migration tracking. The primary outcome was defined as proximal cup migration measured with model-based RSA. RESULTS 68 patients were assessed up to 2 years post operation, n = 43 received screws and n = 25 did not. The use of screws had a significant effect on cup migration (p = 0.018). From 2 weeks to 2 years post operation, the total mean migration was 0.403 ± 0.681 mm and 0.129 ± 0.272 mm (p = 0.319) for cups with and without screws, respectively. The number of screws used also had a significant impact, with cups fixated with 1 screw migrating more than cups fixated with 2 (p = 0.013, mean difference 0.712 mm). CONCLUSIONS Acetabular cups fixated with only 1 screw resulted in greater migration than cups with no screws or 2 screws, though the mean magnitude was well under the 1.0 mm threshold for unacceptable migration. However, 3 of the 24 patients who received only 1 screw exceeded the 1.0 mm threshold for unacceptable migration. Ultimately, the results of this study show that the use of 2 screws to supplement cup fixation can provide good implant stability that is equivalent to a secure press-fit component with no screws.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03558217).

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:354. [PMID: 37173688 PMCID: PMC10176723 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03845-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In revision surgery with significant segmental acetabular defects, adequate implant selection and fixation methods are critical in determining successful bony ingrowth. Commercially available total hip prosthesis manufacturers generally offer additional multi-hole options of acetabular shells with identical designs for use in revision THAs where screw holes configurations vary from product to product. This study aims to compare the mechanical stability of the two types of acetabular screw constructs for the fixation of acetabular components: spread-out and pelvic brim-focused configurations. METHODS We prepared 40 synthetic bone models of the male pelvis. In half of the samples with acetabular defects, identical curvilinear bone defects were manually created using an oscillating electrical saw. On the right side, multi-hole-cups in which the direction of the screw holes are centered on the pelvic brim (brim-focused) and, on the left side, multi-hole-cups with the direction of the screw hole spread throughout the acetabulum (spread-out) were implanted into the pelvic synthetic bones. Coronal lever-out and axial torsion tests were performed with a testing machine, measuring load versus displacement. RESULTS The average torsional strengths were significantly higher in the spread-out group over the brim-focused group regardless of the presence of the segmental defect of the acetabulum (p < 0.001). But for the lever-out strength, the spread-out group exhibited significantly higher average strength over the brim-focused group for the intact acetabulum (p = 0.004), whereas the results were reversed in the brim-focused group when the defects were generated (p < 0.001). The presence of acetabular defects reduced the average torsional strengths of the two groups by 68.66% versus 70.86%. In comparison, the decrease in the average lever-out strength was less significant for the brim-focused group than the spread-out group (19.87% vs. 34.25%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Constructs of multi-hole acetabular cups with the spread-out screw holes configuration exhibited statistically better axial torsional strength and coronal lever-out strength. With the presence of posterior segmental bone defects, the spread-out constructs demonstrated significantly better tolerance to axial torsional strength. Still, they exhibited inverted results of higher lever-out strength in the pelvic brim-focused constructs.

Abstract
Objective To determine the prevalence, prevention measures, and risk factors for occult periprosthetic fractures after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), as well as to determine whether or not they are the root of early THA failure. Methods From January 2014 to December 2018, 755 patients (769 hips) underwent primary total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed, including 327 males (339 hips) and 428 females (430 hips). X-ray, CT and 3D reconstruction of hip were performed before and after operation. By using CT to diagnose the occult fractures, the patients were then monitored and evaluated. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), preoperative diagnosis, osteoporosis, kind of prosthesis, and the surgeon's experience should all be considered. Patients with occult fracture were followed up, the fracture healing and prosthesis stability were recorded and analyzed. Results There are 23 of 769 cases (23/769) had occult fracture around the prosthesis, with an incidence of 2.99% (23/769);. The total revision rate was 0.52% (4/769). The revision patients accounted for 17.39% (4/23) of the patients with occult femoral fractures. The remaining patients received conservative care and successfully joined without their prostheses slipping. Osteoporosis, body mass index, and the surgeon's experience were identified as the risk variables for periprosthetic occult fractures by univariate analysis (P < 0.05). Conclusion Periprosthetic occult fracture was a complication that can not be ignored in primary total hip arthroplasty. It is the cause of early failure of prosthesis. Osteoporosis, BMI and the surgeon's experience are all risk factors for periprosthetic occult fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) imposes physical and financial burdens on patients and depletes limited medical resources. Causes for revision THAs can change as technology changes. Therefore, understanding contemporary causes is essential for clinical decision-making. We analyzed causes and trends associated with revision THA in the 2010s. METHODS We retrospectively identified 803 revision cases after primary THAs were performed at our center from January 2011 to December 2020. Causes for revision were reviewed and compared among patients who were grouped by the date of revision and interval between primary and revision THA. RESULTS The most common causes were aseptic loosening (66.6%), infection (11.0%), osteolysis (6.0%), periprosthetic fracture (5.5%), and instability (3.5%). The values for incidence of infection, fracture, and instability were higher in the early revision group than in the late revision group (threshold, 2 years after primary surgery, all P<0.05). The proportion of revision THAs increased by 25.6% from 2011-2015 to 2016-2020, and the time between primary and revision THAs increased from 8.8 ± 7.0 years to 10.2 ± 6.8 years (P=0.003). In the last 5 years of the study period, the incidence of aseptic loosening decreased and the rates of osteolysis, acetabular wear by hemiarthroplasty, and instability increased, compared to 2011-2015 (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Aseptic loosening was the most common cause of revision THA. Revisions due to infection, fracture, and instability occurred more frequently during the early post-THA period after primary THA. Revisions due to osteolysis, instability, and acetabular wear have increased in recent years.

Abstract
Insufficient primary stability of acetabular hip cups is a complication resulting in early cup loosening. Available cup designs vary in terms of wall thickness, potentially affecting implant fixation. This study investigated the influence of different wall thicknesses on the implantation process and the resulting primary stability using excised human acetabula. Implantations were performed using a powered impaction device providing consistent energy with each stroke. Two different wall thicknesses were compared in terms of seating progress, polar gap remaining after implantation, bone-to-implant contact area, cup deflection, and lever out moment. Thin-walled cups showed higher lever out resistance (p < 0.001) and smaller polar gaps (p < 0.001) with larger bone contact toward the dome of the cup (p < 0.001) compared to thick-walled cups. Small seating steps at the end of the impaction process were observed if a high number of strokes were needed to seat the cup (p = 0.045). A high number of strokes led to a strain release of the cup during the final strokes (p = 0.003). This strain release is indicative for over-impaction of the cup associated with bone damage and reduced primary stability. Adequate cup seating can be achieved with thin-walled cups with lower energy input in comparison to thicker ones. Thin-walled cups showed improved primary stability and enable implantation with lower energy input, reducing the risk of over-impaction and bone damage. Additional strokes should be avoided as soon as no further seating progress has been observed.

Abstract
Background The association between regional bone status around the acetabulum and the incidence of intraoperative acetabulum fractures has not been extensively studied. We investigated the association of Hounsfield unit (HU) values on computed tomography in the regions of the acetabulum with periprosthetic fractures. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of 301 consecutive patients who underwent cementless total hip arthroplasty between October 2016 and December 2020. Using preoperative computed tomography taken in the 4 weeks preceding total hip arthroplasty, we measured HU values in 4 different acetabulum regions (anterior, medial, posterior, and superior). After identifying fracture cases, we identified a control group—matched in terms of sex, age, and preoperative diagnosis—selected in a 1:3 ratio among nonfracture patients treated in the same inclusive period. As the average HU values differed by region, we used the standardized value to compare fracture-site HUs. We ranked the standardized HU values for each acetabular site and compared the fracture site rank between the groups. Results Intraoperative acetabular fractures were observed in 10 hips (3.2%), occurring most frequently in the superior region (40%). The standardized HU values of the fracture site were statistically lower in the fracture group (P = .039). We compared the ranks of the standardized HUs of the fractured parts with those of the corresponding parts in the control group; the fracture site had a significantly lower standardized HU rank, indicating that fractures tended to occur in the relatively “weaker-than-expected” parts. Conclusions Periprosthetic fractures tended to occur at relatively weak parts of the acetabulum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the pelvic vascular injury caused by a transacetabular screw is rare, it is a major local complication of total hip arthroplasty. We aimed to obtain anthropometric data about the safe zone for the placement of transacetabular screws by analyzing the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model and determine the safe length of transacetabular screws by performing the 3D simulated surgery. METHODS We reviewed 50 hips of 25 patients who underwent lower extremity angiographic computed tomography scans retrospectively. We reconstructed the 3D models of 50 hips with normal pelvic bone and vascular status using the customized computer software. We measured the central angle and safe depth of the safe zone of the transacetabular screws on the 3D models. We also performed the 3D simulated surgery to confirm the safe length of screws in each hole of the customized cup implant. RESULTS The measured central angle of the posterior-superior area was 79.5°. And we determined a mean safe depth of 49.8 mm in the safe zone, with a central angle of 47.7°. During the 3D simulated surgery, we determined a mean safe length of the transacetabular screw of 43.3 mm when applied to a lateral hole on a line bisecting the posterior-superior area. CONCLUSION Although our study was limited by the use of a virtual computer program, the quantitative measurements obtained can help reduce the incidence of pelvic vascular injury during transacetabular screw fixation in total hip arthroplasty.

[PMID: 33321234 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2020.102763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Underlying diseases, bone deformities and polyethylene wear affect outcome in young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). These issues are not widely confirmed for ceramic - on-ceramic THA, particularly regarding cup fixation. Therefore, we did a retrospective long-term investigation on a large population of cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA in patients aged 40 years or younger aiming to analyze: 1) the complication rate; 2) clinical results; and 3) survival for cup loosening with regard to their preoperative conditions. HYPOTHESIS Cup loosening could be related to preoperative diagnosis in young patients with a cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and seven hips in 171 patients (97 men and 74 women) underwent a cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA at a mean age of 31.6±6.8 years. The most frequent diagnoses were avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head (74 hips), pediatric hip diseases (35 hips), severe congenital hip dysplasia (CHD) (31 hips), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (30 hips) and mild CHD (26 hips). The prosthesis included a press-fit metal backed cup with a hydroxyapatite coating and a macrotexture surface on either the equatorial region (93 cups) or the entire surface of the shell (114 cups). Ceramics were made of pure alumina and had a femoral head size of 28 (60 hips) or 32mm (147 hips). In all cases same the straight cementless tapered stem was inserted. RESULTS There were three early dislocations, one requiring cup revision No hip was revised due to infection, ceramic fracture, or femoral component loosening. Eight cups were revised for aseptic loosening (3,8%). The mean preoperative Harris Hip score was 52.8±6.2 and 93.4±6.9 at the end of follow-up. It was better in AVN (95.7±2.3) and worst in severe CHD (88.8±11.8) (p=0.001). If the end-point was cup aseptic loosening, the survival rate at 17 years was 95.1% (95% CI: 91.3-98.9), 100% for AVN and post-traumatic arthritis, and 86.8% (95% CI: 74.9-98.7) for severe CHD. CONCLUSIONS Despite diagnoses frequently causing technical difficulties at the surgery, outcome of cementless ceramic-on-ceramic THA in patients under the age of 40 years is satisfactory over ten years of follow up. Cup aseptic loosening was the main cause of failure and appears more related to the initial hip diseases than the age of the patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
Objective The relationship between the use of screws and acetabular cup stability in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. We evaluated cup stability in THA with and without the use of screws. Methods We performed a systematic literature search to identify studies on cup stability relative to the use of screws in patients undergoing THA before October 2018. Methodological quality assessment and data collection were performed by two individual reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager version 5.3.5. Results We included seven trials involving 1402 patients (1469 THAs): 767 patients (809 THAs) with screws and 635 patients (660 THAs) without screws. The findings of meta-analysis indicated that uncemented acetabular component fixation with the use of additional screws was not correlated with migration of the cup, migration on roentgen stereophotogrammetry, or reoperation after THA. Moreover, operation time was not significantly different according to whether screws were used. There was no relationship between use of additional screws and osteoporosis or Harris Hip Score; however, THA with or without the use of screws might be related to bone sclerosis in the C1 region. Conclusion Currently, limited evidence shows that the use of screws during THA may not improve cup stability.

Time-dependent Viscoelastic Response of Acetabular Bone and Implant Seating during Dynamic Implantation of Press-fit Cups. Med Eng Phys 2020; 81:68-76.

Abstract
Deformation of an acetabular cup implant during cementless implantation is indicative of the radial compressive forces, and such of the initial implant fixation strength. Stress relaxation in the surrounding bone tissue following implantation could reduce the deformation of the cup and thus primary implant fixation. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the early shape change of the implanted cup immediately after implantation with different press-fit levels and whether recording the force during cup impaction can be used to estimate initial cup fixation. Cup implantations into porcine acetabulae (n=10) were performed using a drop tower. The force induced by the drop weight and cup seating after each impact was recorded. Deformation of the implanted cup was determined with strain gauges over a period of 10min. Lever-out torques were measured to assess the initial fixation strength. Stress relaxation in the bone caused a reduction in cup deformation of 13.52±4.06% after 1min and 29.34±5.11% after 10min. The fixation strength increased with a higher force magnitude during impaction (Rs2=0.810, p=0.037). Reduction of the radial compressive forces due to stress relaxation of the surrounding bone should be considered during press-fit cup implantation in order to compensate for the reduced fixation strength over time. In addition, recording the implantation force could help to estimate initial fixation strength.

Abstract
Background The anatomy of the posterior wall of the acetabulum is important for the hip stability. We wanted to know whether differences can be observed. Material and methods On lateral 3D pelvic CT reconstruction of the pelvis two types were identified. On axial CT-images acetabular angles were determined. Results We observed 35 type I acetabular and 61 type II acetabular. Posterior acetabular sector angle was 114° in type I and 94° in type II acetabular (p < 0.01). At an cut-off angle of 100° we could predict the type of acetabulum. Conclusions We could describe reference values for the posterior wall to distinguish two morphological types.

Abstract
Hip resurfacing is an attractive alternative to total hip replacement preserving bone and reducing dislocation risk. Recent metal-on-metal designs have caused failure due to metal wear debris. Ceramic implants may mitigate this risk. Temperature increase in periprosthetic bone during cementation can lead to osteonecrosis, while deformation of the component can affect joint lubrication and may increase wear through clamping. Both processes may lead to implant loosening. This study quantifies the temperature and deformation change in a novel ceramic hip resurfacing femoral component compared to a metal standard during cemented implantation in a fresh frozen cadaveric model. Study design and methods Eight femora were prepared from four fresh frozen cadavers. One surgeon experienced in hip resurfacing surgery (J.H.) prepared the femora by reaming. Four ceramic and four metal implants of equal and varying size were cemented in place. Bone and surface temperatures were taken using a probe in the periprosthetic bone and an infrared laser thermometer, respectively. Deformation was measured using a micrometre. Measurements were taken before implantation and every 5-min intervals up to 30 min. The average bone-temperature increment was lower for ceramic heads than for metal heads. Although this difference was not statistically significant, the average bone temperature incremental change in small sizes (42 and 46 mm) was higher than in the large sizes (48 and 50 mm). Most metal heads sustained bearing diameter change that was still near its peak value 30 min after implantation, whereas the ceramic heads suffered a lower diameter change and most of the samples recovered their original diameter 30 min after implantation. Both implants behave similarly, however, a lower temperature rise in bone was observed with ceramic heads. This may lower the risk for thermal damage on periprosthetic bone. The ceramic heads deformed less during surgical implantation. This was not significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deformation of acetabular cups when press-fitted into an undersized cavity is inevitable due to the inhomogeneous stiffness of acetabular bone. Thinner cups or screw holes might increase the risk of high cup deformation. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of cup design and liner assembly on the deformation response during cup implantation. METHODS Acetabular cups with different designs were implanted into polyurethane foam models simulating the anatomical situation with nominal press-fits of 1mm and without nominal press-fits (line-to-line). Deformations were determined using a tactile coordinate measuring machine. A 3D laser scanner was used to determine the contact conditions at the cup-cavity interface. Polyethylene and ceramic liners were assembled to the implanted cups and the influence of the insertion on the deformation response evaluated. Fixation strength of the cups was determined by push-out testing. FINDINGS Cup deformation increased with smaller wall thickness (P < 0.037) and screw holes (P < 0.001). Insertion of ceramic liners reduced the deformation (P < 0.001), whereas polyethylene liners adapted to the deformation of the implanted cups (P > 0.999). Thin-walled cups exhibited a higher fixation strength for similar implantation forces (P = 0.011). INTERPRETATION Thin-walled cups achieved higher fixation strengths and might be more bone-preserving. However, in combination with screw holes and high press-fit levels, wall thickness should be considered carefully to avoid excessive cup deformations leading to potential complications during liner assembly. Line-to-line insertion of thin-walled cups should be accompanied with a rough surface coating to minimize the loss of fixation strength due to the low press-fit fixation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adequate initial stability of the acetabular cup is essential for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, changes in the alignment of the acetabular component caused by screw fixation are concerning in patients with inadequate bone stock. This study aimed to investigate the effects of screw fixation on the alignment of the acetabular component in THA patients with hip dysplasia. METHODS We retrospectively examined 256 hips (range 28-87 years) that underwent THA using a navigation system. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of changes in the alignment of the intraoperative acetabular cup, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that were predictive of changes in acetabular component alignment after screw fixation in 2 dimensions: inclination and anteversion. RESULTS Screw fixation led to a mean change in inclination of 1.6° (range 0-10°) and a mean change in anteversion of 1.4° (range 0-14°). The Crowe classification, the presence of bone cysts, and the use of an inferior quadrant screw were identified as factors that correlated with acetabular cup alignment changes in inclination (odds ratios, 6.01, 5.94 and 0.03, respectively). Only the Crowe classification was identified as a factor that correlated with intraoperative alignment changes in anteversion (odds ratio, 2.08). CONCLUSIONS Screw fixation altered the acetabular cup alignment. The inclination changes were related to the extent of the dysplasia, and the risk was reduced when the inferior quadrant screw was used. Surgeons should use caution during screw fixation in THAs performed on severely dysplastic hips.

Abstract
Hip resurfacing is an attractive alternative to total hip replacement preserving bone and reducing dislocation risk. Recent metal-on-metal designs have caused failure due to metal wear debris. Ceramic implants may mitigate this risk. Deformation of the acetabular cup can affect the lubrication, producing high friction torques between the femoral head and the cup that would increase wear and/or lead to cup loosening due to femoral head clamping. Our objective was to quantify the deformation of a novel monobloc ceramic hip resurfacing cup component compared to a metal standard, in a fresh frozen cadaveric model using a press-fit technique representative of standard surgical conditions. For this study eight acetabula were prepared from four fresh frozen cadavers. One surgeon with extensive experience in hip resurfacing surgery (J.H.) prepared the acetabulum by sequential reaming. The implants were then impacted into the acetabulum. Four ceramic and four metal implants were used of equal and varying size. Deformation was measured peri-implantation, and at 30 min, using an optical high-precision deformation sensor (GOM GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany). The maximum inscribed circle and the measurement of radial segment techniques were used. Deformation was greater in the metal implants (mean: 34-22mm) immediately after implantation. At 30 min after implantation, the deformation increased to 36mm in the metal and 26mm in the ceramic cup. Greater diameter changes were observed in larger cups. Metal and ceramic implants did not return to the initial diameter. We conclude the ceramic resurfacing acetabular implants undergo similar deformation to existing metal-on-metal implants. The deformation observed was significantly less in the ceramic component at 30 min on one measure. Less deformation may result in better surface conditions and wear characteristics. Deformation change did not resolve after 30 min for both implants.

Abstract
Modular uncemented acetabular components are in common use. Fixation is dependent upon press-fit but the forces necessary to achieve initial stability of the construct at implantation may deform the shell and prevent optimal seating of the polyethylene liner insert. Previous work using single-time point measurements in uncontrolled ambient temperature poorly replicates the native state. A controlled study was performed to observe the time-dependent behaviour of an uncemented acetabular shell in the early phase after implantation into the human acetabulum at near physiological temperature. Using a previously validated cadaveric hip model at controlled near physiological temperature with standardised surgical technique, immediate and delayed shell geometry was determined. Eight custom made 3-mm-thick titanium alloy (TiAl6V4) shells were implanted into four cadavers (eight hips). Time-dependent shell deformation was determined using the previously validated ATOS Triple Scan III (ATOS) optical measurement system. The pattern of change in the shape of the surgically implanted shell was measured at three time points after insertion. We found a consistent pattern for quantitative and directional deformation of the shells. In addition, there was consistency for relaxation of the deformation with time. Immediate mean change in shell radius was 104 µm (standard deviation 32, range 67–153) relaxing to mean 96 µm (standard deviation 32, range 63–150) after 10 min and mean 92 µm (standard deviation 28, range 66–138) after 20 min. The clinical significance of this work is the finding of a time-dependent early deformation of acetabular titanium shells on insertion adjusted for near physiological temperature-controlled host bone.

Abstract
Ultraporous acetabular components were developed to improve osseointegration and fit for increased longevity and better outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. There is a paucity of literature detailing this acetabular component's clinical performance, with even less detailing those with screw fixation. We identify 5 patients at our institution who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty for early aseptic acetabular cup loosening of an ultraporous acetabular component known as the Tritanium primary cup with secondary screw fixation. They all presented with groin and hip pain after index surgery and underwent follow-up radiographic examination consistent with component loosening requiring revision surgery. This case series reports on the risk of early acetabular cup loosening and its associated clinical presentation, workup, and surgical management in patients with the Tritanium primary cup augmented with screws.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgeon at primary total hip arthroplasty sometimes cannot achieve sufficient cementless acetabular press-fit fixation and must resort to other fixation methods. Despite a predominant use of cementless cups, this issue is not fully clarified, therefore we performed a large retrospective study to: (1) identify risk factors related to patient or implant or surgeon for unsuccessful intraoperative press-fit; (2) check for correlation between surgeons' volume of operated cases and the press-fit success rate. HYPOTHESIS Unsuccessful intra-operative press-fit more often occurs in older female patients, particular implants, due to learning curve and low-volume surgeons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective observational cohort of prospectively collected intraoperative data (2009-2016) included all primary total hip arthroplasty patients with implant brands that offered acetabular press-fit fixation only. Press-fit was considered successful if acetabulum was of the same implant brand as the femoral component without additional screws or cement. Logistic regression models for unsuccessful acetabular press-fit included patients' gender/age/operated side, implant, surgeon, approach (posterior n=1206, direct-lateral n=871) and surgery date (i.e. learning curve). RESULTS In 2077 patients (mean 65.5 years, 1093 females, 1163 right hips), three different implant brands (973 ABG-II™-Stryker, 646 EcoFit™ Implantcast, 458 Procotyl™ L-Wright) were implanted by eight surgeons. Their unsuccessful press-fit fixation rates ranged from 3.5% to 23.7%. Older age (odds ratio 1.01 [95% CI: 0.99-1.02]), female gender (2.87 [95% CI: 2.11-3.91]), right side (1.44 [95% CI: 1.08-1.92]), surgery date (0.90 [95% CI: 1.08-1.92]) and particular implants were significant risk factors only in three surgeons with less successful surgical technique (higher rates of unsuccessful press-fit with Procotyl™-L and EcoFit™ [P=0.01]). Direct-lateral hip approach had a lower rate of unsuccessful press-fit than posterior hip approach (P<0.01), but there was no correlation between surgeons' volume and rate of successful press-fit (Spearman's rho=0.10, P=0.82). Subcohort of 961 patients with 5-7-years follow-up indicated higher early/late cup revision rates with unsuccessful press-fit. DISCUSSION Success of press-fit fixation depends entirely on the surgeon and surgical approach. With proper operative technique, the unsuccessful press-fit fixation rate should be below 5% and the impact of patients' characteristics or implants on press-fit fixation is then insignificant. Findings of huge variability in operative technique between surgeons of the presented study emphasize the need for surgeon-specific data stratification in arthroplasty studies and indicate the possibility of false attribution of clinically observed phenomena to patient-related factors in pooled data of large centers or hip arthroplasty registers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective observational case control study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Even with good surgical preparation, adequate primary stability of the acetabular component is not always achieved after primary total hip replacement (THR). We hypothesise that adequate bone preparation for appropriate cortical loading would allow us to avoid screw use. METHODS A total of 791 uncemented cups were analysed to compare the need for screws to obtain primary fixation in 5 different designs. Arthritic hips with inflammatory arthritis or severe congenital hip disease were excluded. A press-fit technique was first tried in all hips and screws were only used when strictly needed. Radiological acetabular shape and postoperative cup position were assessed in all hips. The mean follow-up was 9.6 (5-15) years. RESULTS Screws were required in 155 hips (19.6%). We could not detect any difference in the percentage of screw use between designs. We found that female patients (odds ratio [OR] 2.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-3.02) and cups with a greater distance to the hip rotation centre on the postoperative radiograph (OR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.17-2.45) had a higher risk for screw use. A greater anteversion of the cup had a lower risk for screw use (OR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99). At latest follow-up no hips had needed revision for aseptic loosening. CONCLUSIONS Good intraoperative technique is not enough to avoid screw use since more accurate cup position and reconstruction of the hip rotation centre are required for an adequate interference fit. A press-fit technique can provide similar mid-term results to screw use in hips without severe deformities.

[PMID: 27800574 PMCID: PMC5213950 DOI: 10.1007/s11999-016-5138-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2016] [Accepted: 10/19/2016] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic fractures of the acetabulum occurring during primary THA are rare. Periprosthetic occult fractures are defined as those not identified by the surgeon during the procedure which might be missed on a routine postoperative radiograph. However, it is unclear how frequently these fractures occur and whether their presence affects functional recovery. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES In this study, using routine CT scans that were obtained as part of another primary hip arthroplasty study protocol, we retrospectively assessed (1) the prevalence of occult fractures of the acetabulum occurring during primary THA, (2) the location of occult fractures of the acetabulum during THA, and (3) risk factors contributing to such occult fractures. METHODS Between 2004 and 2013, our institute performed 585 primary THAs (cementless or hybrid) in 494 patients with DICOM pre- and postoperative CT; during the period in question, all patients undergoing THA underwent CT before and after surgery. Preoperative CT images were taken as part of a CT-based three-dimensional templating software and navigation system. Postoperative CT images were taken an average of 1 week after surgery as part of a different protocol to evaluate cup position, restoration of leg length and offset, volume of postoperative hematoma to assess anticoagulation effects after THA, and fractures that were not found on routine postoperative radiographs (which we defined as occult fractures). Patients with a history of prior pelvic osteotomy, trauma, and infection were excluded (88 patients/99 hips); 406 patients (102 males and 304 females; 486 hips) form the basis of this report. The mean age of the patients was 60 ± 11 years, with a mean BMI of 23 ± 4 kg/m2. The mean followup of the patients with periprosthetic fracture of the acetabulum was 58 ± 28 months (range, 12-131 months). Potential risk factors for occult acetabular fracture including age, sex, BMI, preoperative diagnosis, additional dome screw fixation, composition and size of each cup, and acetabular design were examined in multivariate analysis. Acetabular component designs were categorized as true hemispheric, peripheral self-locking, and elliptical; during the period in question the indications for each cup design were based on the brand of stem used. Comparison between preoperative and postoperative CT images was done to detect the fractures. Patients with fractures identified during surgery were treated with additional dome screw fixation and a 3-week period of nonweightbearing. Patients with occult fractures in this series did not receive additional treatment as we had confirmed secure fixation of the cup during surgery. RESULTS Occult fractures occurred in 41 hips (8.4%); periprosthetic fractures of the acetabulum were seen during surgery in an additional two hips (0.4%). The superolateral wall was the most frequent location for occult fractures of the acetabulum. After controlling for relevant confounding variables, only the use of peripheral self-locking cups was associated with an increased risk of occult fracture (odds ratio [OR], 2.6 compared with hemispheric cups; 95% CI, 1.2-5.6; p < 0.05). All patients with occult fractures showed bone ingrowth fixation at the final followup, without any additional surgical intervention. CONCLUSIONS Periprosthetic occult fractures of the acetabulum may occur relatively frequently during press-fit impaction. We observed a higher rate of fractures associated with the use of peripheral self-locking components. Occult acetabular fractures not detected on routine postoperative plain films may be ignored if secure fixation of the cup has been confirmed during the operation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
A spherical pressfit cup with a new ceramic liner was introduced in a clinical trial in order to improve range of motion and reduce wear induced problems. The early clinical and radiological outcome was assessed.In a prospective cohort study 181 hips received a seleXys TH+ cup (Mathys, Bettlach, Switzerland) in combination with a third generation ceramic liner (ceramys, Mathys, Bettlach, Switzerland). The Harris Hip Score (HHS), pain (VAS) and range of motion (ROM) were recorded, cup migration and inclination were measured. Experience of any noise was documented.Fourteen hips were radiologically loose, seven of them were revised. Two-year survival of the cup was 92% with radiological loosening as the endpoint. There was no correlation between head size and ROM, no patient had a dislocation. There were no ceramic fractures. Two patients experienced squeaking and three clicking at final follow-up.Reasons for loosening might have been multifactorial but the rate of failure was unacceptably high. The use of large heads did not improve the ROM and development of noise could not be prevented with the modern ceramic. We abandoned the use of this implant system.

Effect of screw fixation on acetabular component alignment change in total hip arthroplasty. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2014; 38:1155-8. [PMID: 24414077 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-013-2271-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2013] [Accepted: 12/18/2013] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The use of screws can enhance immediate cup fixation, but the influence of screw insertion on cup position has not previously been measured. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of intra-operative screw fixation on acetabular component alignment that has been inserted with the use of a navigation system. METHODS We used a navigation system to measure cup alignment at the time of press-fit and after screw fixation in 144 hips undergoing total hip arthroplasty. We also compared those findings with factors measured from postoperative radiographs. RESULTS The mean intra-operative change of cup position was 1.78° for inclination and 1.81° for anteversion. The intra-operative change of anteversion correlated with the number of screws. The intra-operative change of inclination also correlated with medial hip centre. CONCLUSION The insertion of screws can induce changes in cup alignment, especially when multiple screws are used or if a more medial hip centre is required for rigid acetabular fixation.
