Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main aim was to analyse the series of 29 collected cemented Charnley-Muller Alivium retrievals with the meantime in situ of 27 years. In addition, the revision rate of 1425 Alivium prostheses implanted at our institution between 1977 and 1992 was calculated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The revision percentage of the Alivium cohort was calculated up to 45 years of follow-up and compared to that of all total hip arthroplasties (THAs) implanted in the same period (No. 5535). Metal and polyethylene retrieved components were inspected in 29 cases for wear damage and roughness. Wear particles were retrieved from periprosthetic tissue using digestion protocols and their composition, morphology, and size distribution were investigated. Periprosthetic tissue was analysed histologically. RESULTS The revision percentage of the Alivium cohort was 16% at 45 years of follow-up. It was comparable to all the THAs implanted at the same time (18%). The shape of polyethylene particles isolated from periprosthetic tissue corresponded to the wear pattern on polyethylene cups. Polyethylene particles were the main wear product, with the majority (68%) of particles smaller than 0.1 µm. Metal particles were rare with two types: CoCr and Cr based. Histological analysis showed that in 14 out of 18 specimens, the metal particles were graded + 1, reflecting that the metal loading in the periprosthetic tissue was low. CONCLUSIONS Our study represents valuable data not reported previously on the survival rate of Charnley-Muller prostheses at 45 years of follow-up and a unique insight into the collected retrievals from the materials' point of view.

Weight-shifting-based robot control system improves the weight-bearing rate and balance ability of the static standing position in hip osteoarthritis patients: a randomized controlled trial focusing on outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. PeerJ 2023; 11:e15397. [PMID: 37214101 PMCID: PMC10199675 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background After a total hip arthroplasty (THA), standing and walking balance are greatly affected in the early stages of recovery, so it is important to increase the weight-bearing amount (WBA) on the operated side. Sometimes, traditional treatments may not be enough to improve WBA and weight-bearing ratio (WBR) on the operated side in a satisfactory way. To solve this problem, we came up with a new weight-shifting-based robot control system called LOCOBOT. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) on a force-sensing board in rehabilitation after THA. The goal of this study was to find out how rehabilitation with the LOCOBOT affects the WBR and balance in a static standing position in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis (OA) who had a primary uncemented THA. Methods This randomized controlled trial included 20 patients diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3 or 4 hip OA on the operative side and K-L grade 0 normal hip on the nonoperative side. We used the minimization method for allocation and randomly assigned patients to either the LOCOBOT group or the control group. As a result, 10 patient seach were randomly assigned to the LOCOBOT and control groups. Both groups received 40 min of rehabilitation treatment. Out of the 40 min, the LOCOBOT group underwent treatment for 10 min with LOCOBOT. The control group performed COP-controlled exercises on a flat floor instead of using LOCOBOT for 10 of the 40 min. All theoutcome measures were performed pre-THA and 11.9 ± 1.6 days after THA (12 days after THA). The primary outcome measure included WBR in the static standing position. Results After12 days of THA, the LOCOBOT group exhibited significantly higher mean WBR and WBA (operated side) values than the control group. Furthermore, the LOCOBOT group exhibited significantly lower mean WBA (non-operated side) and outer diameter area (ODA) values than the control group. From pre-THA to 12 days after THA, the LOCOBOT group exhibited a significant improvement in mean WBR and WBA (operated side). Moreover, the mean WBA (non-operated side) and ODA significantly decreased. From pre-THA to 12 days after THA, the control group showed a significant increase in total trajectory length and ODA. Conclusions The most important finding of this study was that patients were able to perform the LOCOBOT exercise as early as the second day after THA, and that WBR and ODA significantly improved by the 12th day after THA. This result demonstrated that the LOCOBOT effectively improves WBR in a short period of time after THA and is a valuable system for enhancing balance ability. This expedites the acquisition of independence in activities of daily living after THA and may contribute to optimizing the effectiveness of medical care.

Survival and Clinical Outcomes at 30 to 35 Years Following Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty With a Cementless Femoral Stem Fully Coated With Hydroxyapatite. J Arthroplasty 2022; 38:880-885. [PMID: 36496046 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to update and report clinical outcomes and survival of primary total hip arthroplasty using a cementless double-tapered titanium fully hydroxyapatite-coated stem at a follow-up > 30 years. METHODS The outcomes of this series of 347 primary total hip arthroplasties were already published at a follow-up > 25 years, during which only 12 stems were revised. Since then, there were two additional stem revisions, bringing the total to 14 stem revisions (all of which also required cup revision). Patients still living with the original stem were assessed using the modified Harris Hip Score and patient satisfaction (very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied). Revision incidence was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and Cumulative Incidence Function (CIF) at 35 years. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 33 years (range, 31 to 35 years), 32 patients (34 hips) were still living with the original stem. Their mean modified Harris Hip Score was 86 points (range, 46 to 100) and all patients (100%) were very satisfied or satisfied with surgery. The revision incidence at 35 years considering (a) stem revision for any reason was 9.5% using KM and 4.5% using CIF; (b) stem revision for aseptic loosening was 3.1% using KM and 2.1% using CIF; and (c) reoperation or revision of any component for any reason was 45.3% using KM and 26.3% using CIF. CONCLUSION The present study has demonstrated excellent survival at 35 years for a cementless double-tapered titanium fully hydroxyapatite-coated stem.

Similar Biomechanical Behavior in Gait Analysis between Ceramic-on-Ceramic and Ceramic-on-XLPE Total Hip Arthroplasties. Life (Basel) 2021; 11:life11121366.

Abstract
In vitro measurements are widely used to implement gait kinematic and kinetic parameters to predict THA wear rate. Clinical tests of materials and designs are crucial to prove the accuracy and validate such measurements. This research aimed to examine the effect of CoC and CoXLPE kinematics and kinetics on wear during gait, the essential functional activity of humans, by comparing in vivo data to in vitro results. Our study hypothesis was that both implants would present the same hip joint kinematics and kinetics during gait. In total, 127 unilateral primary cementless total hip arthroplasties were included in the research. There were no statistically significant differences observed at mean peak abduction, flexion, and extension moments and THA kinematics between the two groups. THA gait kinematics and kinetics are crucial biomechanical inputs associated with implant wear. In vitro studies report less wear in CoC than CoXLPE when tested in a matched gait kinematic protocol. Our findings confirm that both implants behave identically in terms of kinematics in a clinical environment, thus strengthening CoC advantage in in vitro results. Correlated to all other significant factors that affect THA wear, it could address in a complete prism the wear on CoC and CoXLPE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients expect pain relief and functional improvement, including return to physical activity. Our objective was to determine the impact of patients' physical activity level on preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing THA. METHODS Using an institutional registry of patients undergoing THA between 2007 and 2012, we retrospectively identified patients who underwent unilateral primary THA for osteoarthritis and completed a preoperative Lower Extremity Activity Scale, Hospital for Special Surgery Hip Replacement Expectations Survey, and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score in addition to two-year HOOS and satisfaction evaluations. Active patients (n = 1053) were matched to inactive patients (n = 1053) by age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidities. The cohorts were compared with regard to the association of expectations with Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and satisfaction, the change in Lower Extremity Activity Scale level from baseline to 2 years, complications, and revision surgical procedures. RESULTS Significantly more active patients (74%) expected to be "back to normal" regarding ability to exercise and participate in sports compared with inactive patients (64%, P < .001). Overall satisfaction was similar. Higher expectations with regard to exercise and sports were associated with higher HOOS sports and recreation subdomain scores in active patients. The inactive patient group improved on baseline activity level at 2 years while the active group did not. CONCLUSION At 2 years after THA, active and inactive patients were similarly satisfied and achieved comparable outcomes. Inactive patients showed a greater improvement in physical activity level from preoperative baseline than active patients. Complications and revision rates were similar. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for severe hip arthritis, with patients reporting high rates of satisfactory results postoperatively. There are a variety of choices regarding THA implant designs. Ceramic on Ceramic and Ceramic on Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) THAs are the materials of choice nowadays. The purpose of this study is to review the effect of kinematics and kinetics on wear (in vivo and in vitro testing) that affect wear in Ceramic on Ceramic and Ceramic on XLPE total hip arthroplasties and identify possible advantages amongst them. The study hypothesis was that THA kinematics and/or kinetics, since they directly affect THA wear, could provide data for possible advantages between the examined implant designs. A systematic review of the literature identified no significant evidence for biomechanical advantages between these two prostheses in terms of wear. Further research is proposed with the use of gait analysis systems combined with surface electromyography to further investigate THA biomechanics at a laboratory set up. Wearable sensors technology could also identify detailed biomechanical parameters in more complex daily activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Information about sport activity after short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) is scarce in the literature. We therefore aimed to evaluate the rate of return to sport after short-stem THA. METHODS We evaluated the sport pattern, rate of return to sport, activity level, extent of sport activity, and subjective rating and sense of well-being in 137 patients (137 hips) after short-stem THA. The minimum follow-up time was 18 months. All results were analyzed according to gender (male and female) and age (≤60, >60-≤70, and >70 years). RESULTS Ninety-two percent of all patients practiced sport before surgery, and 91% of the patients returned to sport. Most patients returned to sport within the first 6 months after surgery. There was a decline in the number of sport disciplines from preoperatively to postoperatively, which was from 2.9 to 2.6 (P = 0.025). High-impact activities decreased postoperatively, but most low-impact activities did not change significantly. Eighty percent of all patients were involved in recreational sports. CONCLUSION In this study, we observed an excellent rate of return to sport after short-stem THA. Most patients returned to the same level of sport activity that they had before the onset of restricting symptoms, with the majority of patients having a great sense of well-being during and after sports, and almost no pain in the affected hip.

Abstract
Vascular injury as a result of total hip arthroplasty (THA) represents an uncommon complication. Although these injuries typically present acutely, delayed presentation has been reported. In this case, a 70-year-old female presented with groin pain and medial thigh numbness 15 years after a left THA. After initially being misdiagnosed, repeat imaging revealed a large external iliac pseudoaneurysm as a result of a transacetabular screw penetrating the medial acetabular wall. The patient underwent staged endovascular exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm, percutaneous drainage, and revision THA. She had resolution of her symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a late vascular injury related to an aseptic THA with well-fixed components. Staged treatment with endovascular exclusion and revision THA is a viable approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the survival of total hip arthroplasty implants with bioactive coatings beyond the first 20 years. The authors aimed to report survival of a tapered hip stem fully coated with hydroxylapatite (HA) at follow-up of 25-30 years. METHODS Of the original series of 320 patients (347 hips), 12 patients (12 hips) had stem and cup revisions, 54 patients (55 hips) had cup revisions, 17 patients (17 hips) had liner exchange. A total of 207 patients (225 hips) died with stems in place and 21 patients (24 hips) could not be reached. This left a cohort of 80 patients (86 hips) with their original stem for assessment. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and cumulative incidence function (CIF). RESULTS Considering stem revision as endpoint, the revision risk calculated using the KM method was 6.3%, whereas using the CIF it was 3.7%. Considering any reoperation as endpoint, the revision risk calculated using the KM method was 41.2%, whereas using the CIF it was 25.9%. The Harris Hip Score for 77 patients (18 hips) was 81.6 ± 15.2. Standard x-rays were available for 52 hips (49 patients), and 10 (19.2%) showed radiolucencies <2 mm thick. CONCLUSION This study is the first to report outcomes of an HA-coated stem beyond 25 years. The survival of stem compares favorably with long-term survival of the Charnley cemented stem, and with shorter-term registry studies. The stem achieved its intended purpose of total osteointegration in the long-term, although the proximolateral region remains susceptible to radiolucencies.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough hip and knee arthroplasties are considered to be common elective cost-effective operations, up to one-quarter of patients are not satisfied with the operation. A number of risk factors for implant failure are known, but little is known about the predictors of patient-reported outcomes.Objectives(1) Describe current and future needs for lower limb arthroplasties in the UK; (2) describe important risk factors for poor surgery outcomes and combine them to produce predictive tools (for hip and knee separately) for poor outcomes; (3) produce a Markov model to enable a detailed health economic analysis of hip/knee arthroplasty, and for implementing the predictive tool; and (4) test the practicality of the prediction tools in a pragmatic prospective cohort of lower limb arthroplasty.DesignThe programme was arranged into four work packages. The first three work packages used the data from large existing data sets such as Clinical Practice Research Datalink, Hospital Episode Statistics and the National Joint Registry. Work package 4 established a pragmatic cohort of lower limb arthroplasty to test the practicality of the predictive tools developed within the programme.ResultsThe estimated number of total knee replacements (TKRs) and total hip replacements (THRs) performed in the UK in 2015 was 85,019 and 72,418, respectively. Between 1991 and 2006, the estimated age-standardised rates (per 100,000 person-years) for a THR increased from 60.3 to 144.6 for women and from 35.8 to 88.6 for men. The rates for TKR increased from 42.5 to 138.7 for women and from 28.7 to 99.4 for men. The strongest predictors for poor outcomes were preoperative pain/function scores, deprivation, age, mental health score and radiographic variable pattern of joint space narrowing. We found a weak association between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes; however, increased BMI did increase the risk of revision surgery (a 5-kg/m2rise in BMI increased THR revision risk by 10.4% and TKR revision risk by 7.7%). We also confirmed that osteoarthritis (OA) severity and migration pattern of the hip predicted patient-reported outcome measures. The hip predictive tool that we developed performed well, with a correctedR2of 23.1% and had good calibration, with only slight overestimation of Oxford Hip Score in the lowest decile of outcome. The knee tool developed performed less well, with a correctedR2of 20.2%; however, it had good calibration. The analysis was restricted by the relatively limited number of variables available in the extant data sets, something that could be addressed in future studies. We found that the use of bisphosphonates reduced the risk of revision knee and hip surgery by 46%. Hormone replacement therapy reduced the risk by 38%, if used for at least 6 months postoperatively. We found that an increased risk of postoperative fracture was prevented by bisphosphonate use. This result, being observational in nature, will require confirmation in a randomised controlled trial. The Markov model distinguished between outcome categories following primary and revision procedures. The resulting outcome prediction tool for THR and TKR reduced the number and proportion of unsatisfactory outcomes after the operation, saving NHS resources in the process. The highest savings per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) forgone were reported from the oldest patient subgroups (men and women aged ≥ 80 years), with a reported incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of around £1200 saved per QALY forgone for THRs. In the prospective cohort of arthroplasty, the performance of the knee model was modest (R2 = 0.14) and that of the hip model poor (R2 = 0.04). However, the addition of the radiographic OA variable improved the performance of the hip model (R2 = 0.125 vs. 0.110) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein improved the performance of the knee model (R2 = 0.230 vs. 0.216). These data will ideally need replication in an external cohort of a similar design. The data are not necessarily applicable to other health systems or countries.ConclusionThe number of total hip and knee replacements will increase in the next decade. High BMI, although clinically insignificant, is associated with an increased risk of revision surgery and postoperative complications. Preoperative pain/function, the pattern of joint space narrowing, deprivation index and level of education were found to be the strongest predictors for THR. Bisphosphonates and hormone therapy proved to be beneficial for patients undergoing lower limb replacement. The addition of new predictors collected from the prospective cohort of arthroplasty slightly improved the performance of the predictive tools, suggesting that the potential improvements in both tools can be achieved using the plethora of extra variables from the validation cohort. Although currently it would not be cost-effective to implement the predictive tools in a health-care setting, we feel that the addition of extensive risk factors will improve the performances of the predictive tools as well as the Markov model, and will prove to be beneficial in terms of cost-effectiveness. Future analyses are under way and awaiting more promising provisional results.Future workFurther research should focus on defining and predicting the most important outcome to the patient.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Programme Grants for Applied Research programme.

Abstract
Corrosion prevention in biomaterials has become crucial particularly to overcome inflammation and allergic reactions caused by the biomaterials' implants towards the human body. When these metal implants contacted with fluidic environments such as bloodstream and tissue of the body, most of them became mutually highly antagonistic and subsequently promotes corrosion. Biocompatible implants are typically made up of metallic, ceramic, composite and polymers. The present paper specifically focuses on biocompatible metals which favorably used as implants such as 316L stainless steel, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, pure titanium and titanium-based alloys. This article also takes a close look at the effect of corrosion towards the implant and human body and the mechanism to improve it. Due to this corrosion delinquent, several surface modification techniques have been used to improve the corrosion behavior of biocompatible metals such as deposition of the coating, development of passivation oxide layer and ion beam surface modification. Apart from that, surface texturing methods such as plasma spraying, chemical etching, blasting, electropolishing, and laser treatment which used to improve corrosion behavior are also discussed in detail. Introduction of surface modifications to biocompatible metals is considered as a "best solution" so far to enhanced corrosion resistance performance; besides achieving superior biocompatibility and promoting osseointegration of biocompatible metals and alloys.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision between open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and arthroplasty for a displaced femoral neck fracture in a patient ≤65 years old can be challenging. Both options have potential drawbacks; if a fracture treated with ORIF fails to heal it may require a revision operation, whereas a relatively young patient who undergoes arthroplasty may need revision within his/her lifetime. The purpose of this study was to employ decision analysis modeling techniques to generate evidence-based treatment recommendations in this clinical scenario. METHODS A Markov decision analytic model was created to simulate outcomes after ORIF, total hip arthroplasty (THA), or hemiarthroplasty in patients who had sustained a displaced femoral neck fracture between the ages of 40 and 65 years. The variables in the model were populated with values from studies with high-level evidence and from national registry data reported in the literature. The model was used to estimate the threshold age above which THA would be the superior strategy. Results were tested using sensitivity analysis and probabilistic statistical analysis. RESULTS THA was found to be a cost-effective option for a displaced femoral neck fracture in an otherwise healthy patient who is >54 years old, a patient with mild comorbidity who is >47 years old, and a patient with multiple comorbidities who is >44 years old. The average clinical outcomes of THA and ORIF were similar for patients 40 to 65 years old, although ORIF had a wider variability in outcomes based on the success or failure of the initial fixation. For all ages and cases, hemiarthroplasty was associated with worse outcomes and higher costs. CONCLUSIONS Compared with ORIF, primary THA can be a cost-effective treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in patients 45 to 65 years of age, with the age cutoff favoring THA decreasing as the medical comorbidity and risk of ORIF fixation failure increase. Hemiarthroplasty has worse outcomes at higher costs and is not recommended in this age group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Economic and decision analysis Level III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low friction arthroplasty (LFA) introduced by Sir John Charnley was the gold standard for many years. Dislocation and infection are the first causes for early revision. Late failures are polyethylene (PE) wear and loosening. Due to dislocation risk we slowly switched to the use of LFA with dual mobility cups (DMC). The purposes of this study are (1) to assess whether our changes have improved outcomes and (2) what is the new gold standard? MATERIAL AND METHODS We selected from an observational registry of 1,091 cases of hybrid Charnley total hip arthroplasty (THA). The acetabular component was either DMC in 455 cases or fixed cup (FC) in 636 cases. RESULTS Three dislocations (0.6%) occurred in the DMC group (none revised). In the FC group 54 dislocated (8.49%) and 20 were recurrent and underwent revision (revision rate 3.14%). In the DMC group, five acetabular and three femoral revisions were performed (revision rate for loosening 1.7%). In the FC group 19 cases underwent acetabular revision, and five cases had femoral component revised (revision rate for loosening 3.7%). DISCUSSION Charnley's LFA has proven over 50 years of excellent survivorship. To decrease dislocation risk, one suggested increasing femoral head diameter. Gilles Bousquet proposed another way, namely, the DMC concept. Dislocation is no longer a critical issue with DMC as demonstrated in our series and main series. DMC in primary THA is still a subject of debate. Mid-term results do not demonstrate a higher rate of wear than LFA. What is the current gold standard? LFA was and is our current gold standard in association with a DMC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wear debris of polyethylene has become a restraining factor of the durability for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Ceramic on ceramic (COC) has better wear resistance while the squeaking sound and prosthesis fracture are of concern. It is still a controversy that bearing couples are better for THA. METHODS We performed a systematic review of all English articles identified from PubMed (1966-), Embase (1980-) and the Cochrane Library. Clinical outcomes, complications, revision rates, and radiographic outcomes of COC-THA and ceramic on polyethylene (COP)-THA were compared and evaluated. RESULTS Eight prospective randomized trials enrolling a total of 1508 patients and 1702 THA surgeries were identified. Our results demonstrated the prosthesis fracture and the squeaking sound is significantly higher in COC group and higher wear rate of the COP. Hip function, loosening rate, dislocation rate, revision rate, and the osteolysis rate were comparable between two groups. According to Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system assessment, the strength of evidence was high for prosthesis fracture, dislocation, osteolysis, and moderate for radiolucent line or loosening, hip noise, and revision. CONCLUSIONS Up to now, there is insufficient evidence to identify any clinical advantage of COC compared with COP. Longer follow-up of larger randomized trial is needed to clarify the outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cemented femoral total hip arthroplasty may be one of the most successful surgical interventions of all time. However, although results are very encouraging over the early to mid-term followup, relatively few studies have analyzed the durability of these implants beyond 20 years followup. To evaluate the performance of contemporary implants, it is important to understand how previous implants perform at 20 or more years of followup; one way to do this is to aggregate the available data in the form of a systematic review. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) How durable is cemented femoral fixation in the long term (minimum 20-year followup) with respect to aseptic loosening? (2) Is the durability of cemented femoral fixation dependent on age of the patient? (3) Are the long-term results of the cemented femoral fixation dependent on any identifiable characteristics of the prosthesis such as surface finish? METHODS A systematic review was performed to identify long-term studies of cemented femoral components. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria to 1228 articles found with a search in PubMed and EMBASE, 17 studies with a minimum of 20-year followup on cemented femoral components were thoroughly analyzed in an attempt to answer the questions of this review. The quality of the studies reviewed was assessed with the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) instrument. All studies were case series and cohort sizes ranged from 110 to 2000 hips for patients older than 50 years of age and 41 to 93 hips for patients younger than 50 years at the time of surgery. RESULTS Among the six case series performed in patients older than 50 years of age, survivorship for aseptic loosening of the femoral component ranged from 86% to 98% at 20 years followup. There were no obvious differences for younger patients when analyzing the five studies in patients younger than age 50 years in which survivorship free from aseptic loosening for these studies ranged from 77% at 20 years in one study and 68% to 94% at 25 years in the other studies. Although data pooling could not be performed because of heterogeneity of the studies included here, it appeared that stems with a rougher surface finish did not perform as well as polished stems; survivorship of stems with rougher surface finishes varied between 86% and 87%, whereas those with smoother finishes ranged between 93.5% and 98% at 20 years. CONCLUSIONS Excellent long-term fixation in both older and younger patients can be obtained with cemented, polished femoral stems. These results provide material for comparison with procedures performed with newer cementing techniques and newer designs, both cemented and cementless, at this extended duration of followup.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rapid decline in use of conventional total hip replacement with a large femoral head size and a metal-on-metal bearing surface might lead to increased popularity of ceramic-on-ceramic bearings as another hard-on-hard alternative that allows implantation of a larger head. We sought to address comparative effectiveness of ceramic-on-ceramic and metal-on-HXLPE (highly cross-linked polyethylene) implants by utilizing the distributed health data network of the ICOR (International Consortium of Orthopaedic Registries), an unprecedented collaboration of national and regional registries and the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration). METHODS A distributed health data network was developed by the ICOR and used in this study. The data from each registry are standardized and provided at a level of aggregation most suitable for the detailed analysis of interest. The data are combined across registries for comprehensive assessments. The ICOR coordinating center and study steering committee defined the inclusion criteria for this study as total hip arthroplasty performed without cement from 2001 to 2010 in patients forty-five to sixty-four years of age with osteoarthritis. Six national and regional registries (Kaiser Permanente and HealthEast in the U.S., Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, Catalan region in Spain, Norway, and Australia) participated in this study. Multivariate meta-analysis was performed with use of linear mixed models, with survival probability as the unit of analysis. We present the results of the fixed-effects model and include the results of the random-effects model in an appendix. SAS version 9.2 was used for all analyses. We first compared femoral head sizes of >28 mm and ≤28 mm within ceramic-on-ceramic implants and then compared ceramic-on-ceramic with metal-on-HXLPE. RESULTS A total of 34,985 patients were included; 52% were female. We found a lower risk of revision associated with use of ceramic-on-ceramic implants when a larger head size was used (HR [hazard ratio] = 0.73, 95% CI [confidence interval] = 0.60 to 0.88, p = 0.001). Use of smaller-head-size ceramic-on-ceramic bearings was associated with a higher risk of failure compared with metal-on-HXLPE bearings (HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.68, p = 0.006). Use of large-head-size ceramic-on-ceramic bearings was associated with a small protective effect relative to metal-on-HXLPE bearings (not subdivided by head size) in years zero to two, but this difference dissipated over the longer term. CONCLUSIONS Our multinational study based on a harmonized, distributed network showed that use of ceramic-on-ceramic implants with a smaller head size in total hip arthroplasty without cement was associated with a higher risk of revision compared with metal-on-HXLPE and >28-mm ceramic-on-ceramic implants. These findings warrant careful reflection by regulatory and clinical communities and wide dissemination to patients for informed decision-making regarding such surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ireland is currently in the process of establishing a National Joint Registry. AIM We aim to determine which implants and surgical techniques are currently being used by Irish orthopaedic surgeons and to examine the impact that a National Joint Registry may have on arthroplasty practice in Ireland. METHODS The study consisted of a postal questionnaire sent to all public service consultant orthopaedic surgeons in The Republic of Ireland. RESULTS We had a response rate of 76.6 %. Of this 76.6, 86.4 % regularly perform total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 84.7 % perform total knee arthroplasty. Of those who perform THA, 86.3 % use different implants in younger patients. Thirteen different femoral implants are used, and seven different knee implants. We conservatively estimate that at least 3,918 total hip arthroplasties and 2,604 total knee arthroplasties are performed in Ireland each year. At present we have no way to precisely monitor the number of arthroplasty procedures being performed, and we have no way of accurately monitoring the short- or long-term outcomes of the many implants used. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of a National Joint Registry for Ireland would benefit the Irish orthopaedic community, and given the large number of procedures being performed, may also be of benefit to the international orthopaedic community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous papers have been published examining risk factors for revision of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), but there have been no comprehensive systematic literature reviews that summarize the most recent findings across a broad range of potential predictors. METHODS We performed a PubMed search for papers published between January, 2000 and November, 2010 that provided data on risk factors for revision of primary THA. We collected data on revision for any reason, as well as on revision for aseptic loosening, infection, or dislocation. For each risk factor that was examined in at least three papers, we summarize the number and direction of statistically significant associations reported. RESULTS Eighty-six papers were included in our review. Factors found to be associated with revision included younger age, greater comorbidity, a diagnosis of avascular necrosis (AVN) as compared to osteoarthritis (OA), low surgeon volume, and larger femoral head size. Male sex was associated with revision due to aseptic loosening and infection. Longer operating time was associated with revision due to infection. Smaller femoral head size was associated with revision due to dislocation. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review of literature published between 2000 and 2010 identified a range of demographic, clinical, surgical, implant, and provider variables associated with the risk of revision following primary THA. These findings can inform discussions between surgeons and patients relating to the risks and benefits of undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Techniques of cemented total hip arthroplasty have developed over time. We present the outcomes of Charnley total hip arthroplasty performed using improved second- and third-generation cementing techniques. METHODS We reviewed the radiologic results of 91 Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed using second- and third-generation cementing techniques. Second-generation techniques involved making multiple anchor holes, a double-cementing method on the acetabular side and an intramedullary plug, and retrograde filling with a cement gun on the femoral side in 57 hips. Third-generation techniques involved additional vacuum mixing and cement pressurization in 34 hips. RESULTS Joint survival rates at 20 years when using second-generation techniques were 89% for the socket and 94% for the stem with aseptic loosening as the end point; the survival rates at 10 years when using third-generation techniques were 97 and 100%, respectively. According to our radiographic evaluation system for the clear zone at 5 years, there was less clear zone in the acetabular side with the third-generation techniques than with second-generation techniques. In the femoral side, there was very little development of the clear zone, but the difference between generations was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Second- and third-generation cementing techniques showed excellent survivorship. The clear zone scores at 5 years indicated that third-generation techniques were effective, especially in the acetabular side, and may produce better long-term results than second-generation techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine comparative safety and effectiveness of combinations of bearing surfaces of hip implants. DESIGN Systematic review of clinical trials, observational studies, and registries. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, reference lists of articles, annual reports of major registries, summaries of safety and effectiveness for pre-market application and mandated post-market studies at the United States Food and Drug Administration. STUDY SELECTION Criteria for inclusion were comparative studies in adults reporting information for various combinations of bearings (such as metal on metal and ceramic on ceramic). Data search, abstraction, and analyses were independently performed and confirmed by at least two authors. Qualitative data syntheses were performed. RESULTS There were 3139 patients and 3404 hips enrolled in 18 comparative studies and over 830 000 operations in national registries. The mean age range in the trials was 42-71, and 26-88% were women. Disease specific functional outcomes and general quality of life scores were no different or they favoured patients receiving metal on polyethylene rather than metal on metal in the trials. While one clinical study reported fewer dislocations associated with metal on metal implants, in the three largest national registries there was evidence of higher rates of implant revision associated with metal on metal implants compared with metal on polyethylene. One trial reported fewer revisions with ceramic on ceramic compared with metal on polyethylene implants, but data from national registries did not support this finding. CONCLUSIONS There is limited evidence regarding comparative effectiveness of various hip implant bearings. Results do not indicate any advantage for metal on metal or ceramic on ceramic implants compared with traditional metal on polyethylene or ceramic on polyethylene bearings.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of tool and workpiece motions on the machining efficiency in the fabrication of hip joint prosthesis. The finite element method was used to characterize the three-dimensional motion of the system, using the uniformity or even distribution of a cutting tool tip trajectory as an efficiency indicator. It was found that a proper combination of the rotational speeds of a cutting tool and a workpiece can improve significantly the efficiency of the machining operation.

Activity recommendations after total hip and knee arthroplasty: a survey of the American Association for Hip and Knee Surgeons. J Arthroplasty 2009; 24:120-6.

Abstract
There are limited data to guide surgeon recommendations regarding activities after total joint arthroplasty. The present study aims to better clarify the current community standards. A questionnaire was distributed to the members of the American Association for Hip and Knee Surgeons attending the 2007 annual meeting inquiring about recommendations for 15 activities for patients with total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty. One hundred thirty-nine surveys were returned. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the data. More than 95% of the responses placed no limitations on low-impact activities including level surface walking, stair climbing, level surface bicycling, swimming, and golf. Higher-impact activities were more commonly discouraged, although there was considerable variability. Recommendations after total hip arthroplasty were more liberal compared to those after total knee arthroplasty. Higher-volume surgeons tended to be more liberal in their recommendations. No responder indicated that there was strong scientific evidence for their recommendations. Investigations are needed to elucidate the long-term effects of higher load and/or higher cycle activities on total joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Most bone remodeling is thought to occur within the first few years after THA. Loss of bone density later may be associated with stress shielding or normal bone loss of aging. We evaluated remodeling changes over time with a proximally hydroxyapatite-coated tapered titanium stem. We evaluated plain radiographs of 143 hips for cancellous condensation, cortical hypertrophy, cortical porosis, cortical index, and canal fill at early postoperative, 5, 10, and 15 years. Average age was 51 years at THA; 69 patients (77 hips) (53%) were women; and 102 hips (71%) had primary osteoarthrosis. Based on radiographic findings at 15 years, hips were divided into three subgroups: 43 (30%) demonstrated minimal remodeling changes; 53 (37%) demonstrated cortical hypertrophy evident before 5 years; and 47 (33%) demonstrated additional late remodeling and cortical porosis, most often after 10 years. Hips with poorer bone (Dorr Types B or C) and, when including only hips with osteoarthrosis, more female hips had cortical porosis at 15 years. Late radiographic changes in patients with porosis appear more similar to that associated with an extensively rather than proximally coated stem. Whether continued bone adaptation and bone loss of aging will eventually threaten implant stability is unknown, but at 15 years, all 143 implants remained well fixed and clinically asymptomatic. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
