Determination of preoperative risk factors for iliopsoas tendonitis after total hip arthroplasty: A simulation study. J Orthop Res 2024; 42:2035-2042.

Abstract
This study aims to identify preoperative risk factors for iliopsoas tendonitis after total hip arthroplasty, a complication typically attributed to acetabular cup position and orientation, using a validated iliopsoas impingement detection simulation. Analyzing CT scans and X-rays of 448 patients using a validated preoperative planning protocol, patients were simulated for iliopsoas impingement and categorized into at-risk and not at-risk groups based on a prior validation study, with a 23% at-risk incidence. Implementing a propensity score matching algorithm to reduce covariate imbalance, we identified factors that may exacerbate risk of iliopsoas tendonitis. Parameters that were investigated included standing pelvic tilt, functional femoral rotation, and the difference between the planned acetabular cup diameter and native femoral head diameter (ΔC-NFH). Comparing pelvic tilt, we found a significant difference between the groups (at-risk: -6.0°, not at-risk: -0.7°; p << 0.01). A similar trend was noted for ΔC-NFH (at-risk: +5.7 mm, not at-risk: +5.1 mm; p = 0.01). Additional simulations of at-risk patients indicated increased anteversion of the acetabular cup reduces impingement risk more effectively than medialisation. These findings suggest that spinopelvic parameters may exacerbate iliopsoas irritation risk, underscoring their importance in preoperative planning and patient expectation management. Similar findings of a greater than 6 mm difference between cup size and native femoral head diameter being a significant risk for iliopsoas tendonitis have been observed before, underscoring its potential veracity. These results may provide surgeons with a simple threshold that can be used in determining a cup size to reduce the risk of iliopsoas tendonitis.

Abstract
In most cases, impingement of the iliopsoas tendon after total hip arthroplasty is caused by acetabular component retroversion. The present case report describes a patient with functional iliopsoas impingement following total hip arthroplasty. With increasing flexibility of the hip joint after surgery, the functional adjustment to the stiff thoracolumbar spine in this patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis resulted in progressive pelvic roll back. This roll back resulted in a functional iliopsoas impingement as the psoas tendon travels over the front of the pecten ossis pubis. Since excessive roll back is usually also addressed in primary total hip arthroplasty by decreasing anteversion of the acetabular component, surgeons should be aware to avoid the combination of roll back and decreased anteversion and their potential impact on iliopsoas impingement.

Abstract
Iliopsoas tendonitis, typically caused by impingement with the acetabular cup, occurs in up to 18% of patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and up to 30% of patients after hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). We have developed a simulation for detecting iliopsoas impingement and validated it in a previous study of THA patients. However, due to the difference in incidence between HRA and THA, this study had two aims. First, to validate the simulation in a cohort of HRA patients and, second, to comparethe results of the HRA and THA patients to understand any differences in their etiology. We conducted a retrospective search in an experienced surgeon's database for HRA patients with iliopsoas tendonitisand control patients without iliopsoas tendonitis, resulting in two cohorts of 12 patients. Using CT scans, 3D models of the each patient's prosthetic and bony anatomy were generated, landmarked, and simulated. Regarding validation of the simulation for HRA patients, impingement significantly predicted the probability of iliopsoas tendonitis in logistic regression models and the simulation had a sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 100%, and an AUC ROC curve of 0.95. Unexpectedly, the HRA cohort exhibited less impingement than the THA cohort. Our novel simulation has now been demonstrated to detect iliopsoas impingement and differentiate between the symptomatic and asymptomatic cohorts in investigations of THA and HRA patients. This tool has the potential to be used preoperatively, to guide decisions about optimal cup placement, and postoperatively, to assist in the diagnosis of iliopsoas tendonitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of larger femoral heads in total hip replacement (THR) has increased over the last decade. While the relationship between increasing head size and increased stability is well known, the risk of revision with increasing head size remains poorly understood. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of total hip joint replacement with 32-mm and 36-mm heads. METHODS We carried out a 20-year retrospective analysis of prospective data from the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR). All primary total hip replacements registered between January 1999 and December 2018 were included. We compared the rate of revision of 32-mm and 36-mm heads in THR. Sub-group analysis included comparisons of bearing type and all-cause revision. RESULTS 60,051 primary THRs met our inclusion criteria. The revision rate per 100 component years was significantly higher with a 36-mm head than with a 32-mm head (0.649 vs. 0.534, p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis of bearing type showed no significant differences in revision rates for all combinations of 36-mm heads when compared to 32-mm (p = 0.074-0.92), with the exception of metal-on-metal (MoM); p = 0.038. When MoM was removed there was no significant difference in revision rates per 100 component years between 32-mm and 36-mm heads, 0.528 versus 0.578 (p = 0.099). CONCLUSIONS Increasing head size from 32 mm to 36 mm results in no significant increase in revision in all bearing combinations except MoM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliopsoas tendinopathy (IPT) can cause persistent groin pain and lead to dissatisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to report the characteristics, incidences, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of IPT after THA. METHODS We reviewed primary THAs performed at a single institution between January 2012 and May 2018. Clinical and radiographic analyses were performed on 1,602 THAs (1,370 patients). Patient characteristics, component sizes, inclination and anteversion angles, and antero-inferior cup prominence (≥8 millimeters (mm)), were compared between the groups with and without IPT. Changes in teardrop to lesser trochanter distance were measured to estimate changes in leg length and horizontal offset caused by THA. Logistic regression models were used to identify the risk factors for IPT. IPT was identified in 53 hips (3.3%). RESULTS Patients with IPT had greater leg lengthening (12.3 versus 9.3 mm; P = .001) and higher prevalence of antero-inferior cup prominence (5.7 versus 0.4%; P = .002). There was no significant difference in inclination, anteversion, and horizontal offset change between the two groups. In multivariate analyses, greater leg lengthening, prominent acetabular cup, women, and higher body mass index were associated with IPT. All patients reported improvement in groin pain after arthroscopic tenotomy, while 35.7% with nonoperative management reported improvement (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Symptomatic IPT occurred in 53 (3.3%) of the 1,602 primary THAs. Our findings suggest that leg lengthening as well as prominent acetabular cup in THAs can be associated with the development of IPT. Arthroscopic tenotomy was effective in relieving groin pain caused by IPT.

Abstract
AIMS Iliopsoas impingement occurs in 4% to 30% of patients after undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite a relatively high incidence, there are few attempts at modelling impingement between the iliopsoas and acetabular component, and no attempts at modelling this in a representative cohort of subjects. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel computational model for quantifying the impingement between the iliopsoas and acetabular component and validate its utility in a case-controlled investigation. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent THA surgery that included 23 symptomatic patients diagnosed with iliopsoas tendonitis, and 23 patients not diagnosed with iliopsoas tendonitis. All patients received postoperative CT imaging, postoperative standing radiography, and had minimum six months' follow-up. 3D models of each patient's prosthetic and bony anatomy were generated, landmarked, and simulated in a novel iliopsoas impingement detection model in supine and standing pelvic positions. Logistic regression models were implemented to determine if the probability of pain could be significantly predicted. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to determine the model's sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Highly significant differences between the symptomatic and asymptomatic cohorts were observed for iliopsoas impingement. Logistic regression models determined that the impingement values significantly predicted the probability of groin pain. The simulation had a sensitivity of 74%, specificity of 100%, and an AUC of 0.86. CONCLUSION We developed a computational model that can quantify iliopsoas impingement and verified its accuracy in a case-controlled investigation. This tool has the potential to be used preoperatively, to guide decisions about optimal cup placement, and postoperatively, to assist in the diagnosis of iliopsoas tendonitis.Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2023;4(1):3-12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although increased femoral head size reduces the risk of instability in total hip arthroplasty (THA), it may lead to iliopsoas irritation and increased anterior groin pain. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between non-modular dual-mobility (NDM) implants and small (≤32 mm) and large (≥36 mm) fixed-bearing (FB) constructs. METHODS A retrospective review of all primary total hip arthroplasties from 2011 to 2021 was conducted at a single, urban academic institution. Patients were separated into 3 cohorts: NDM implant ≤32 mm and FB implant ≥36 mm. Demographics and outcomes such as length of stay, dislocation, and anterior groin pain were assessed. Patients were deemed as having groin pain if they received an iliopsoas injection or had extended physical therapy ordered beyond 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS There were 178 NDM implants, 936 ≤32-mm FB, and 2,454 ≥36-mm FB implants included. Length of stay significantly differed between the groups (48.4 ± 43.3 vs 63.2 ± 40.6 vs 57.2 ± 38.1 hours; P = .001). Although not statistically significant, the ≥36-mm FB cohort had the highest rate of dislocations (0.6% vs 0.7% vs 0.9%; P = .84). Although no patients with an NDM implant received an iliopsoas injection, 9 patients (0.9%) with a ≤32-mm FB implant and 9 patients (0.4%) with a ≥36-mm implant received an injection (P = .06). However, 18 (10.1%) patients with an NDM implant, 304 (32.5%) patients with a ≤32-mm FB implant, and 355 (14.5%) patients with a ≥36-mm FB implant received extended physical therapy 3 months after surgery (P < .001). CONCLUSION NDM implants, as well as FB implants with both small and large head sizes are effective at preventing dislocation. NDM implants did not result in an increase in anterior groin pain compared to ≤32-mm and ≥36-mm FB constructs. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dual mobility (DM) articulations has grown substantially over the last decade to help minimize dislocation risk. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of DM articulations to jumbo femoral heads of equivalent sizes as they relate to postoperative dislocation. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed at a single institution between 2005 and 2018. DM articulations and large-diameter metal-on-metal femoral heads were included. Patients were followed with Harris Hip Scores and standard radiographs. Complications were prospectively recorded. Statistical analyses included chi-squared and Brown-Forsythe tests. RESULTS In total, 1,288 Magnum femoral head THAs and 365 Active Articulation DM THAs were included for analysis. The same monoblock cup was implanted via a posterior approach in all cases. Age, gender, body mass index, and diagnosis were similar between groups. Average follow-up in the DM group was 49 months, and 126 months in the jumbo head group. The average head sizes in the DM and jumbo head groups were 50 mm. There were no dislocations in the DM hips and only 2 (0.2%) in the jumbo femoral head group. Both groups had significant improvements in Harris Hip Score from their preoperative baseline. CONCLUSION Our study found similarly low dislocation rates in DM and jumbo femoral heads in primary THA. No evidence currently exists showing a benefit of the DM articulation beyond that of the large effective head size, and we recommend making every attempt at maximizing head size prior to using DM articulations.

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
Iliopsoas tendon pain can be a frustrating condition for both patients and surgeons after total hip arthroplasty. It is difficult to diagnose definitively, as there is no imaging modality that offers reliable information and there are numerous causes of persistent groin pain in this patient population. The pain can ruin the results of an otherwise well-functioning total hip arthroplasty. Patients who respond best to arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy are those with isolated pain with hip flexion activities and reproducible pain with resisted hip flexion on examination or other provocative iliopsoas maneuvers. Patients with these symptoms in addition to more generalized pain findings (pain with weight-bearing, pain at night, pain with passive range of motion) tend not to respond as favorably to isolated iliopsoas tenotomy. In addition, optimal treatment for refractory cases has been controversial historically, as both acetabular component revision and iliopsoas tendon lengthening have been advocated. With the ever-increasing popularity of hip arthroscopy and recent clinical outcome reports, arthroscopic (or endoscopic) iliopsoas tenotomy has proven to be a very safe and effective treatment option for these patients, with one caveat: the diagnosis must be correct.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have evaluated the survivorship and clinical outcomes of constrained acetabular liners (CALs) in complex primary and revision total hip arthroplasty with hip instability; however, there remains no consensus on the overall performance of this constrained implant. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature to examine survivorship and complication rate of CAL usage. METHODS A systematic review of the literature in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was performed. A comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for English articles using various combinations of keywords. RESULTS In all, 37 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 4152 CALs were implanted. The all-cause reoperation-free survivorship was 79.9%. The overall complication rate was 22.2%. Dislocation was the most common complications observed and the most frequent reason for reoperation with an incidence of 9.4% and 9.2%, respectively. Infection after CAL placement had an incidence of 4.6%. The reoperation rate for aseptic acetabular component loosening was 2.9%. Overall, patients had improved outcomes as documented by postoperative hip scores. CONCLUSION CALs usage have a relatively high complication rate, particularly when compared with current bearing alternatives (dual mobility cups and large diameter femoral heads), however, it remains a valuable salvage procedure in complex patients affected by recurrent dislocation and implant instability. Newer designs have shown reduced impingement and higher survivorship free from dislocation. However, CALs should only be used when the reasons of instability have been correctly recognized and optimized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct anterior approach (DAA) is a popular approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Unlike the posterior approach, the importance of anterior capsular management is unknown. This randomized controlled trial compares capsular repair versus capsulectomy. METHODS This single-surgeon, single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial occurred between 2013 and 2016. Patients undergoing unilateral, primary THA for osteoarthritis consented to undergo blinded, simple randomization to anterior capsulotomy with repair or anterior capsulectomy. Primary outcome measures included hip range of motion, hip flexion strength, and pain with seated hip flexion. Secondary outcome measures included surgical time, estimated blood loss, postoperative complications, and hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score. Data were prospectively collected intraoperatively, six weeks, six months, an average of over 5 years postoperatively. RESULTS Ninety-eight patients were ultimately enrolled in the trial; 50 received capsulectomy and 48 received capsulotomy. No significant differences were seen in preoperative demographics or in primary or secondary outcomes during this study. No difference was seen in pain at final follow-up at average > 5 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that capsular management in DAA THA does not affect postoperative pain or range of motion. The anterior capsule's role in prosthetic stability after DAA THA remains uncertain, but it does not currently appear that repair provides benefit and may lead to increased surgical time and blood loss. As such, capsular management in DAA THA is at surgeon discretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliopsoas tendinitis is a known source of extra-articular hip pain and it has been shown to be a common cause of continued hip pain following total hip arthroplasty. While iliopsoas tendinitis after hip arthroscopy is a well-known phenomenon amongst hip arthroscopists, its presentation, course, and treatment has yet to be elucidated. METHODS An IRB-approved chart review was performed of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) between March 2015 and July 2017. No cases of dysplasia were included. All patients had combined cam/pincer impingement as well as labral pathology. Tendinitis patients were identified. Patient demographics, surgical data, time to onset/diagnosis of iliopsoas tendinitis, treatment (oral anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid injection, physical therapy), and resolution of symptoms were recorded. These cases were age- and sex-matched to a control group that did not develop postoperative iliopsoas tendinitis for comparison. Patient outcomes were measured with the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) recorded from the preoperative and 1-year postoperative visits. RESULTS Of 258 hip arthroscopy cases, 18 cases (7.0%) of postoperative iliopsoas tendinitis were diagnosed under high resolution ultrasound. On average, iliopsoas tendinitis was diagnosed 2.8 ± 1.8 months after surgery. There were no significant differences in age, sex, and BMI between patients that developed IP tendinitis compared to those that did not. No specific procedures were found to be significantly associated with incidence of postoperative IP tendinitis, including capsular closure.18 patients were treated with corticosteroid injection, which provided mild to moderate improvement for 5 (27.8%) patients and completely resolved symptoms for 13 patients (72.2%). Of all 18 patients with postoperative iliopsoas tendinitis confirmed by response to a diagnostic injection, 10 (55.6%) had symptoms improve within 3 months of diagnosis, 2 (11.1%) between 3 and 6 months, 4 (22.2%) between 6 and 12 months, and 2 (11.1%) after 1 year. No patients went on to have surgery for this problem. Patients with iliopsoas tendinitis had lower MHHS (p = 0.04) and NAHS (p = 0.09) scores at their 1-year postoperative visits. CONCLUSIONS Iliopsoas tendinitis is a common source of pain following arthroscopic hip surgery and can be effectively diagnosed and treated with ultrasound-guided injection. Therefore, surgeons performing arthroscopic procedures of the hip must remain aware of and include it in their differential when encountering patients with hip flexion pain after surgery. Research should be continued to further evaluate the long-term outcomes and return to sport rates of these patients.

Abstract
Dual mobility (DM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with reduced dislocation rates; however, the kinematic mechanism of dislocation in DM THA constructs is still not well understood. This study hypothesizes that the difference in kinematics between DM THA and conventional THA designs contributes to reduced dislocation rates of DM THA. In addition, this study aims to quantify and compare those kinematic parameters between DM THA and conventional THA using a validated dual fluoroscopy imaging system (DFIS) and finite element (FE) modelling. Fresh frozen cadavers were measured to compare the impingement-free range of motion and provocative subluxation kinematics among three THA constructs: (1) DM, (2) constrained liner (CS), and (3) 36 mm head diameter neutral liner (NL). The DFIS was used to measure the in vitro kinematics of the hip. Subject-specific FE models were developed to assess the horizontal dislocation distance and resistive torque at dislocation. The DM construct head exhibited increased provocative anterior and posterior subluxation range of motion before dislocation when compared to CS constructs (p = .05; p = .03), as well as NL constructs (p = .05). The DM THA showed a significantly larger posterior horizontal dislocation distance, as well as smaller resistive torque at dislocation, when compared to NL (p = .05; p = .03) and CS constructs (p = .04; p = .01). Our findings demonstrate there was increased provocative subluxation range of motion as well as normalized jump distance for the DM constructs compared to the NL and CS constructs, suggesting the DM THA may provide increased stability hip during at-risk functional hip positions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent advances in polyethylene and ceramic technologies has allowed us to use larger sized heads without compromising the wear properties of a total hip arthroplasty (THA). 1 benefit of this change has been proposed to be a lower incidence of dislocation. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the dislocation rate in 913 THAs performed using the same standardised surgical technique employed by a single team of surgeons at our institution between 1995 and 2015. Patients were assigned to 2 groups: small (⩽28 mm), large diameter heads (⩾36 mm and larger). The cup position was measured and plotted to determine its status according to the Lewinnek's safe zone (15° ± 10° for anteversion, 40° ± 10° for inclination). RESULTS 16 of the 472 small heads dislocated (3.4%) while 5 of the 441 in large head group (1.1%) (p = 0.04). In all of the large head patients that dislocated the cup position was in the safe range of Lewinnek. However, in the large head group only 64.5% of the cups were in the safe zone. CONCLUSIONS By changing the head size to 36 mm, we were able to decrease the dislocation rate significantly. Errors of cup positioning according to Lewinnek became oblivious when using large heads. In our opinion, using large heads in THA makes a difference in terms of dislocation.

Dual Mobility Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Not Associated with a Greater Incidence of Groin Pain in Comparison with Conventional Total Hip Arthroplasty and Hip Resurfacing:A Retrospective Comparative Study. HSS J 2020; 16:394-399. [PMID: 33380972 PMCID: PMC7749877 DOI: 10.1007/s11420-020-09764-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Groin pain is a common long-term complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Femoral head size has been proposed as one of the primary causes. The implants used in dual mobility (DM) THA have large outer-bearing articulations, which could increase the risk of post-operative groin pain. Hip resurfacing (HR), too, has been shown to be associated with a risk of groin pain. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The goals of this study were to compare the incidence of groin pain at 1 year after hip arthroplasty in patients with different femoral head diameters and in patients undergoing conventional THA, DM THA, and HR. METHODS After combing an institutional registry for all patients who had undergone THA or HR for primary hip osteoarthritis, we included 3193 patients in the analysis; 2008 underwent conventional THA, 416 underwent DM THA, and 769 underwent HR. We used logistic regression modeling to analyze the relation of groin pain at 1 year after surgery to patient demographics and clinical characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), University of California at Los Angeles activity score at 1 year after surgery, bearing couple, and the ratio of acetabular diameter to femoral head diameter. We also measured cup inclination and anteversion in a subset of patients with and without groin pain at 1 year to assess whether pain could be related to implant position. RESULTS Overall, 8.7% of patients reported groin pain at 1 year. Patients with groin pain were younger and had lower BMIs. There were increased odds of groin pain with a greater cup-to-head ratio, although DM implants, interestingly, were not significantly associated with groin pain; this may be attributable to so much of their movement taking place inside the implant. Subgroup analysis measuring cup inclination and anteversion showed no difference in cup position between patients with and without pain. CONCLUSION In this population of hip arthroplasty patients, the incidence of groin pain 1 year after surgery did not differ among patients undergoing DM and conventional THA; DM THA in particular was not associated with a higher risk of groin pain, despite its comparatively larger femoral head sizes. HR, on the other hand, was associated with a higher risk of pain. Appropriate implant sizing and bearing couple choice may optimize the functional benefit of THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgeons are increasingly using larger femoral head sizes in total hip arthroplasty (THA) to improve stability and reduce the rate of dislocation, 1 of the leading causes of revision surgery. Large ceramic head sizes up to 48 mm can now be used with monoblock acetabular components. National registries have shown promising results at short-term with large diameter ceramic-on-ceramic THA, with very low revision rates.This study reports on the average 3-year follow up of a press-fit monoblock large diameter acetabular shell with a pre-assembled ceramic liner, with emphasis on the radiographic outcome, complications related to the implantation of the cup, and the patient's clinical outcome. METHODS 170 hips in 169 patients were reviewed at an average 38 ± 5.8 months following surgery. RESULTS The radiographic review revealed no acetabular cup loosening, no osteolysis and no cup migration. 1 acetabular cup was revised for malposition. The patient clinical outcome and the satisfaction rate were excellent. At 3 years, 7.1% of patients complained of groin pain and 3.5% spontaneously reported hip joint generated noise. 1 patient sustained a non-recurrent traumatic hip dislocation 2 years post surgery. CONCLUSIONS New technology should be introduced cautiously on the market. This is especially true for the large diameter ceramic monoblock acetabular component used in this study since it involves a new acetabular component design. At short term, we have not identified new modes of failure with this implant. Longer follow-up is still needed to assess the safety of large ceramic bearing in THA.

Abstract
Background The relationship between collar design of a femoral component and iliopsoas impingement (IPI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is still underrecognized. The purpose of our study was to determine the possible risk factors for IPI related to the femoral component, when using a collared femoral prosthesis. Methods A total of 196 consecutive THA patients (206 hips) using a collared femoral prosthesis were reviewed retrospectively after exclusion of the factors related to acetabular component and femoral head. The patients were divided into +IPI and −IPI group according to the presence of IPI. Radiological evaluations were performed including femoral morphology, stem positioning, and collar protrusion length (CPL). Multivariate regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for IPI. Results At a minimum follow-up of 1 year, IPI was observed in 15 hips (7.3%). Dorr type C proximal femur was found in nine hips (60%) in the +IPI group and in 28 hips in the −IPI group (14.7%, p < 0.001). The mean stem anteversion in the +IPI group was significantly greater than that in the −IPI group (19.1° vs. 15.2°, p < 0.001), as well as the mean CPL (2.6 mm vs. − 0.5 mm, p < 0.001). The increased stem anteversion (OR = 1.745, p = 0.001) and CPL (OR = 13.889, p = 0.001) were potential risk factors for IPI. Conclusions The incidence of IPI after THA is higher than expected when using a collared femoral prosthesis. Among the factors related to collared femoral prosthesis, excessively increased stem anteversion and prominent collar protrusion are independent predictors for IPI. In addition, high risk of IPI should be carefully considered in Dorr type C bone, despite that femoral morphology is not a predictive factor. Level of evidence Level IV, clinical cohort study

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The literature around use of Large Diameter Heads (LDH) is abundantly available for revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) but is lacking for primary uncomplicated THA. This systematic review was undertaken to synthesize data around primary THA involving LDH and analyze the associated complications (dislocation, volumetric wear, implant survivorship and functional score) along with reported effects on range of motion (ROM), patient reported outcomes and impingement rate/groin pain. METHODS A PRISMA compliant systematic review was done using extensive search in PubMed database, along with offline search looking for the literature published in English language between 2008 and 2018. The articles providing data on the use of large diameter heads (LDH) (36 mm or larger) on various bearing surfaces were collected. This included robust national joint registries of different countries. Narrative approach to data synthesis was used. RESULTS A total of 23 papers met our inclusion criteria, including six national joint registries. It was observed that LDH had significantly low dislocation rates, excellent implant survival rate as per Kaplan-Meier survivorship (> 90% at five years). Surgical approaches, except Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), did not increase any risk of dislocation as long as it was meticulously repaired. There was no significant improvement in any functional scores or improved ROM. CONCLUSIONS LDH of 32-36 mm are now commonly used in primary THA and is accepted as a popular size. The beneficial effects of a large head size are negated beyond 38 mm. The most favored size for LDH THA, therefore, is 36 mm contrary to the older literature favoring 28 mm.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using fourth-generation ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearing surfaces. METHODS A total of 52 revision THAs (28 men and 19 women) using the fourth-generation CoC bearing surfaces were retrospectively evaluated. Both acetabular cup and femoral stem were revised in all cases. The mean follow-up period was 7.3 years (range, 4.0-9.9 years). The clinical results with Harris hip score (HHS), Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and radiologic outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS At the final follow-up examination, the average HHS was 90.4 (range, 67-100). The average WOMAC pain and physical function score were 2.8 (range, 0-12) and 16.4 (range, 0-42), respectively. Complications were observed in 10 hips (19.2%). However, there were no bearing surface-related complications, and no cases of dislocation and squeaking. Retroacetabular pelvic osteolysis without cup loosening was observed in one hip at the final follow-up. However, no hip showed radiographic signs of cup loosening, vertical or horizontal acetabular cup migrations, and changes of inclinations during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Our data showed that clinical and radiologic outcomes after revision THA using fourth-generation CoC bearing were favorable. Hence, revision THA with the use of CoC bearing surfaces can be preferentially considered. Further studies with long-term follow-up data are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a recognized cause of groin pain following total hip arthroplasty, iliopsoas tendonitis probably results from different factors. Given the anatomic disadvantage, dysplastic hips theoretically make acetabular component relatively retroverted or oversized, screws implanted frequently, and iliopsoas tendonitis more likely. However, the prevalence and mechanism of iliopsoas tendonitis following total hip replacement in dysplastic hips are not fully understood. METHODS One hundred and thirty-three total hip arthroplasties for Crowe type 2 to 4 dysplastic hips were compared with 126 total hip arthroplasties for hips without dysplasia in this study. Preoperative patient demographic data were well matched between the groups. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed. RESULTS A significantly higher frequency of protruded screws (24.8% vs 0), anterior overhang of acetabular components (30.8% vs 4.0%), and increased leg lengthening (3.6 [2.0-6.8] vs 0.5 [0-1.8]) was found in the dysplastic group (all p values < 0.05). However, the femoral offset and inclination and anteversion of acetabular components between the groups did not differ significantly. No difference in the prevalence of iliopsoas tendonitis was found between the groups. A new cause of iliopsoas tendonitis following total hip arthroplasty was detected in the dysplastic group. The iliopsoas tendonitis was irritated by an instable artificial femoral head. CONCLUSIONS The dysplastic hips did not present a higher incidence of postoperative iliopsoas tendonitis in this study. Iliopsoas tendonitis could be somewhat prevented by smaller size of acetabular components and soft tissue release in dysplastic hips, but irritated by an instable artificial femoral head.

Cadaver-Specific Models for Finite-Element Analysis of Iliopsoas Impingement in Dual-Mobility Hip Implants. J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:3574-3580. [PMID: 30029930 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/25/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Joint dislocation is a major cause of failure in total hip arthroplasty. Dual-mobility implants provide a femoral head diameter that can match the native hip size for greater stability against dislocation. However, such large heads are prone to impingement against surrounding soft tissues. To address this concern, the concept of an anatomically contoured dual-mobility implant was evaluated using cadaver-specific finite-element analysis (FEA). METHODS The stiffness of 10 iliopsoas tendons was measured and also 3D bone models, contact pressure, and iliopsoas tendon stress were evaluated for 2 implant designs according to a previous cadaveric experiment. The iliopsoas interaction with an anatomically contoured and conventional dual-mobility implant was analyzed throughout hip flexion. RESULTS The tensile test of cadaveric iliopsoas tendons revealed an average linear stiffness of 339.4 N/mm, which was used as an input for the FEA. Tendon-liner contact pressure and tendon von Mises stress decreased with increasing hip flexion for both implants. Average contact pressure and von Mises stresses were lower in the anatomically contoured design compared with the conventional implant across all specimens and hip flexion angles. CONCLUSIONS This study was built upon a previous cadaver study showing reduced tenting of the iliopsoas tendon for an anatomically contoured design compared with a conventional dual-mobility implant. The present cadaver-specific FEA study found reduced tendon-liner contact pressure and tendon stresses with contoured dual-mobility liners. Anatomical contoured design may be a solution to avoid anterior soft-tissue impingement when using hip prostheses with large femoral heads.

Abstract
The use of larger femoral head size in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased during the past decade; 32 mm and 36 mm are the most commonly used femoral head sizes, as reported by several arthroplasty registries.The use of large femoral heads seems to be a trade-off between increased stability and decreased THA survivorship.We reviewed the literature, mainly focussing on the past 5 years, identifying benefits and complications associated with the trend of using larger femoral heads in THA.We found that there is no benefit in hip range of movement or hip function when head sizes > 36 mm are used.The risk of revision due to dislocation is lower for 36 mm or larger bearings compared with 28 mm or smaller and probably even with 32 mm.Volumetric wear and frictional torque are increased in bearings bigger than 32 mm compared with 32 mm or smaller in metal-on-cross-linked polyethylene (MoXLPE) THA, but not in ceramic-on-XLPE (CoXLPE).Long-term THA survivorship is improved for 32 mm MoXLPE bearings compared with both larger and smaller ones.We recommend a 32 mm femoral head if MoXLPE bearings are used. In hips operated on with larger bearings the use of ceramic heads on XLPE appears to be safer. Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2018;3 DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.3.170061.

Abstract
Purpose This study characterizes the short-term outcomes of ceramic coated metal-on-metal (MoM) large head total hip arthroplasty (THA) in prospectively selected patients aged 70 to 75 years. Materials and Methods Eighteen patients (18 hips) between the ages of 70 and 75-years old with THA using ceramic-coated MoM large heads between June 2014 and December 2014 were evaluated. We prospectively selected patients younger than 70 years for bipolar hemiarthroplasty and older than 75 years for conventional THA. There were one case of osteoarthritis, 8 cases of femur neck fracture, and 9 cases of intertrochanteric fracture. All patients underwent clinical and radiological follow-up at 6 weeks, 6 and 12 months, and every year postoperatively. The mean duration of follow-up was 24.2 months (range, 18–34 months). Results The average Harris hip score at the final follow-up was 81.0, except one case which was ultimately converted to conventional THA due to acetabular cup loosening. Radiographically, mean acetabular cup inclination was 45.8°(range, 38–56°) and anteversion was 20.1° (range, 11–25°). The average femoral head size was 48.7 mm. All stems were neutral-positioned except 1 varus-positioned stem. There was 1 case of a soft tissue infection, 3 patients complained of persistent groin pain, and no dislocations occurred. Conclusion Ceramic coated large MOM articulation (ACCIS) have many complications: cup loosening, groin pain, which can lead to fatal outcomes in the elderly patients. Especially in patients with communicated intertrochanter fracture (AO 31-A22, 23), careful attention should be paid to the choice of surgical option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty are very satisfied with their outcomes. However, there is a small subset of patients who have persistent pain after surgery. The etiology of pain after total hip arthroplasty varies widely; however, tendon disorders are a major cause of debilitating pain that often go unrecognized. METHODS We performed a literature review to identify the most common tendon pathologies after total hip arthroplasty which include iliopsoas tendinitis, greater trochanteric pain syndrome, snapping hip syndrome, and abductor tendinopathy. RESULTS We present a simplified approach highlighting the presentation and management of patients with suspected tendinopathies after total hip arthroplasty. These tendinopathies are treatable, and management begins with nonoperative modalities; however, in cases not responsive to conservative management, operative intervention may be necessary. CONCLUSION Tendinopathies after total hip arthroplasty sometimes go unrecognized but when treated can result in higher surgeon and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extra-articular hip impingement syndromes encompass a group of conditions that have previously been an unrecognised source of pain in the hip and on occasion been associated with intra-articular hip impingement as well. As arthroscopic techniques for the hip continue to evolve, the importance of these conditions has been recognised recently and now form an important part of the differential of an individual presenting with hip pain. The aim of this article, therefore, is to provide the reader with an evidence-based and comprehensive update of these syndromes. METHODS By reviewing past literature, the anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical features and the management of the five common extra-articular hip impingement syndromes were described. RESULTS The common extra-articular impingement syndromes are: 1) Ischiofemoral impingement: quadratus femoris muscle becomes compressed between the lesser trochanter and the ischial tuberosity. 2) Subspine impingement: mechanical conflict occurs between an enlarged or malorientated anterior inferior iliac spine and the distal anterior femoral neck. 3) Iliopsoas impingement: mechanical conflict occurs between the iliopsoas muscle and the labrum, resulting in distinct anterior labral pathology. 4) Deep gluteal syndrome: pain occurs in the buttock due to the entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space. 5) Pectineofoveal impingement: pain occurs when the medial synovial fold impinges against overlying soft tissue, primarily the zona orbicularis. Knowledge for these syndromes still remains limited for reasons mostly relating to their low prevalence and their co-existence with typical femoro-acetabular impingement. CONCLUSIONS The knowledge of extra-articular hip impingement syndromes is essential and should form a part of the differential diagnoses alongside intra-articular pathology including femoro-acetabular impingement particularly in the younger patient with a non-arthritic hip.

Abstract
Dislocation remains a common cause of failure after total hip arthroplasty. The limitations of existing approaches to address instability have led to the development of powerfull options: constrained liners, dual mobility and large heads. These implant-related options have proven to be very efficient, but have raised concerns.With constrained liners, restricted range of motion (ROM) is responsible for impingement leading to high likelihood of failure, depending on the design, with various failure modes.Improvements of the bearing materials have addressed some of the concerns about increased volumetric wear of conventional polyethylene and offer an option to reduce instability: large diameter heads have the advantage of increased ROM before impingement, increased head-neck ratio, and jump distance. Highly cross-linked polyethylene helps address the risk for increased wear, and also large heads provide improved stability without the risk of mechanical failures observed with constrained liners. However, the increase of the head size remains limited as reducing the thickness of the liner may lead to fractures. In addition, the jump distance decreases as the cup abduction increases.The dual mobility concept simultaneously attempts to address head-neck ratio, constraint, and jump distance. Despite the need for longer follow-up, concerns raised about potential increased wear and intra-prosthetic dislocation with first generation implants have been addressed with modern designs.With a dramatic increase of the head-neck ratio whilst reducing the risk of mechanical failure or excessive wear, dual mobility THA outperforms large diameter heads and constrained liners at 10 years follow-up. For these reasons, dual mobility continues to gain interest worldwide and is becoming the most popular option to manage instability. Cite this article: Guyen O.

Navigation is Equal to Estimation by Eye and Palpation in Preventing Psoas Impingement in THA. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2017; 475:196-203.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliopsoas tendon impingement is one possible reason for persistent groin pain and diminished functional outcome after THA. So far, estimation by eye and palpation is the standard procedure to intraoperatively assess the distance of the cup to the anterior rim. However, novel technologies such as imageless navigation enable intraoperative measurements of the cup in relation to the psoas tendon and bony landmarks. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether psoas impingement (1) can be reduced using imageless navigation compared with the standard technique and (2) is associated with specific patient characteristics. Furthermore, we investigated (3) if anterior cup protrusion (overhang) is associated with lower outcome scores for pain and function. METHODS The current study is a reanalysis of data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating navigation for THA; 135 patients were randomized for surgery with or without the use of imageless navigation. The risk for anterior protrusion of the cup above the acetabular rim and thus potential psoas impingement, defined as an overhang of the cup above the anterior acetabular rim as measured on postoperative CT, was either controlled with the help of navigation or standard control by eye and palpation intraoperatively. Postoperatively, the anterior protrusion of the cup above the acetabular rim was measured on three-dimensional (3-D) CT by a blinded, external institute. In addition to patient-related outcome measures, the Harris hip score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and EuroQol were obtained 1 year postoperatively. Altogether 123 data sets were available for primary analysis and 115 were available for 1-year followup. RESULTS There was no difference, with the numbers available, between the navigated and the control groups in terms of the mean distance of the cup below the anterosuperior acetabular rim (3.9 mm; -5.3 to 12.6 mm versus 4.4 mm; -7.9 to 13.7 mm; p = 0.72) or the anteroinferior acetabular rim (4.7 mm; -6.2 to 14.8 mm versus 4.2 mm; -7.1 to 16.3 mm; p = 0.29). There was no difference, with the numbers available, in terms of the proportion of cups with anterior overhang (7%, four of 57 versus, 15%, 10 of 66; p = 0.16), respectively. After controlling for potential confounding variables such as cup inclination, cup size, patient age, BMI, stage of arthritis, and length of skin incision, we found cup anteversion (hazard ratio [HR], 0.87; 95% CI, 0.81-0.93; p < 0.001) and female sex (HR, 3.88; 95% CI, 1.01-14.93; p = 0.049) were associated with a propensity to potential psoas impingement. With the numbers available, there were no differences observed in clinical scores between groups with and without anterior cup protrusion. CONCLUSIONS We found no differences between imageless navigation and estimation by eye and palpation in preventing potential psoas impingement. Despite the comparable clinical outcome for patients with and without cup protrusion, the orthopaedic surgeon should be especially aware of propensity for psoas impingement in women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Instability and dislocation after total hip arthroplasty are the most common causes of revisions and major complications for failure of inserted prostheses, leading to a reduction in quality of life. Because the use of artificial femoral head sizes smaller than patient's own size is the important cause for dislocation, the use of large femoral head have increased. Femoral head sizes greater than 32 mm offer multiple advantages in physical function and activity levels of patients by improving hip stability, decreasing dislocation rate and increasing range of motion. However, various concerns are encountered including wear debris generation at the trunnion-bore interface and increases in frictional torque and stress over the component-bone interface when using larger head sizes. So, the use of femoral head sizes less than 40 mm is recommended.

Abstract
Femoral bone loss is frequently encountered during revision total hip arthroplasty. The quality and quantity of remaining bone helps determine the best method for reconstruction. Extensively porous-coated cylindrical stems or titanium fluted tapered devices that achieve fixation in the diaphysis have both demonstrated excellent long-term survivorship. Titanium fluted tapered stems with a modular proximal body allow for more accurate leg length, offset, and version adjustments independent of the distal stem which may optimise hip biomechanics. Intraoperative fractures are more common with cylindrical stems and subsidence with tapered stems, particularly monoblock designs and in both dislocation continues to be one of the most common postoperative complications. In salvage situations in which an ectatic femoral canal is unable to support an uncemented device, impaction bone grafting, allograft-prosthetic composite, or a segmental proximal femoral replacement may be required.

Abstract
PURPOSE No previous reports have described the benefits and risks associated with the dual mobility cup (DMC) in primary THA via direct anterior approach (DAA). The aim of this study was to compare the safety and rate of early postoperative complication of the DAA with the DMC for THA with those of the DAA with a single standard cup, and to investigate the influence of the learning curve of the use of DMC on intra- and perioperative outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 60 hips treated in the single-DAA group and 60 hips treated in the dual-DAA group. A primary/secondary outcome variable was the presence of any intra- or perioperative complication within the first 6 months/the operative time and hip function at 6 months postoperatively. We also analyzed influence of the learning curve of the use of DMC on intra- and perioperative outcomes. RESULTS No intraoperative complications were observed in either group. One anterior dislocation and one periprosthetic hip fracture were occurred in the single-DAA group. The surgical times in the single-DAA and dual-DAA groups were 112.0 ± 20.9 and 121.0 ± 26.9 min (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the 6-month postoperative hip function scores between the two groups. There was no influence of the learning curve of the use of DMC on intra- and perioperative outcomes. CONCLUSION We have demonstrated the short-term safety and lack of inferiority of using the DMC in the DAA compared with the standard single mobility cup.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the study was to present our arthroscopic surgical technique and the results in patient with pain after a hip replacement. METHODS Between November 2009 and September 2011, 35 patients with groin pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) were treated arthroscopically. The patients underwent a preoperative examination consisting in careful history, physical examination, laboratory evaluation, diagnostic evaluation using x-rays and pelvis CT scans. In patients for whom the clinical picture suggested iliopsoas tendonitis, we also performed injection of local anaesthetic on the iliopsoas tendon sheath. All the patients were positioned in the supine decubitus position with traction applied, using 2 arthroscopic portals (AL, MID-A). An extensive debridement of adhesions, periprosthetic tissue and neocapsula were performed; when there were signs of iliopsoas impingement, a transcapsular tenotomy was performed according to Wettstein technique. RESULTS The average age was 57 (29-77) years old. The average time to onset of symptoms was 10.8 (5-15) months after THA. The average preoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 44.1 (range 32-56). The average preoperative Medical Research Council (MRC) scale for muscle strenght was 3.27 (range 3-4). After 24 months of follow-up patients show an average HHS of 75.73 (range 50-91). Patients who underwent iliopsoas release show a postoperative HHS of 83.28 (range 61-91). The average postoperative MRC scale was 4.45. CONCLUSIONS Hip arthroscopy in treatment of reactive synovitis and adhesions shows good results according to literature. Hip arthroscopy in treatment of anterior iliopsoas impingement is the most useful instrument, being less invasive than the classic open technique.

Abstract
Soft-tissue impingement with dual mobility liners can cause anterior hip pain and intra-prosthetic dislocation. The hypothesis of this study was that reducing liner profile below the equator (contoured design) can mitigate soft-tissue impingement without compromising inner-head pull-out resistance and hip joint stability. The interaction of conventional and contoured liners with anterior soft tissues was evaluated in cadaver specimens via visual observation and fluoroscopic imaging. Resistance to inner-head pull-out was evaluated via finite element analyses, and hip joint stability was evaluated by rigid-body mechanics simulation of dislocation in two modes (A, B). Cadaveric experiments showed that distal portion of conventional liners impinge on anterior hip capsule and cause iliopsoas tenting at low flexion angles (≤30°). During hip extension, the rotation imparted to the liner from posterior engagement with femoral neck was impeded by anterior soft-tissue impingement. The iliopsoas tenting was significantly reduced with contoured liners (p ≤ 0.04). Additionally, the contoured and conventional liners had identical inner-head pull-out resistance (901 N vs. 909 N), jump distance (9.4 mm mode-A, 11.7 mm mode-B) and impingement-free range of motion (47° mode-A, 29° mode-B). Thus, soft-tissue impingement with conventional dual mobility liners may be mitigated by reducing liner profile below the equator, without affecting mechanical performance. © 2015 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Ceramic-on-metal (CoM) hip implants were reported to experience lower wear rates in vitro as compared to metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings, thus hinting metal-ion release at lower levels in vivo. In this article, we show a spectroscopic study of two short-term retrieval cases of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) femoral heads belonging to CoM hip prostheses, which instead showed poor wear performances in vivo. Metal contamination and abnormally high fractions of tetragonal-to-monoclinic (t→m) polymorphic transformation of the zirconia phase could be found on both ZTA heads, which contrasted with the optimistic predictions of in vitro experiments. At the molecular scale, incorporation of metal ions into the ceramic lattices could be recognized as due to frictionally assisted phenomena occurring at the ceramic surface. Driven by abnormal friction, diffusion of metal ions induced lattice shrinkage in the zirconia phases, while residual stress fields became stored at the surface of the femoral head. Diffusional alterations destabilized the chemistry of the ceramic surface and resulted in an abnormal increase in t→m phase transformation in vivo. Frictionally driven metal transfer to the ceramic lattice thus hinders the in vivo performance of CoM prostheses. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Dislocation remains among the most common complications of, and reasons for, revision of both primary and revision total hip replacements (THR). Hence, there is great interest in maximising stability to prevent this complication. Head size has been recognised to have a strong influence on the risk of dislocation post-operatively. As femoral head size increases, stability is augmented, secondary to an increase in impingement-free range of movement. Larger head sizes also greatly increase the 'jump distance' required for the head to dislocate in an appropriately positioned cup. Level-one studies support the use of larger diameter heads as they decrease the risk of dislocation following primary and revision THR. Highly cross-linked polyethylene has allowed us to increase femoral head size, without a marked increase in wear. However, the thin polyethylene liners necessary to accommodate larger heads may increase the risk of liner fracture and larger heads have also been implicated in causing soft-tissue impingement resulting in groin pain. Larger diameter heads also impart larger forces on the femoral trunnion, which may contribute to corrosion, metal release, and adverse local tissue reactions. Alternative large bearings including large ceramic heads and dual mobility bearings may mitigate some of these risks, and several of these devices have been used with clinical success.

Correlation between groin pain and cup design of hip-resurfacing implants: a prospective study. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2013; 38:923-8.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cup design has been incriminated as the source of groin pain after hip resurfacing but has not been well described; thus, it was assessed in a prospective study looking at three implant types. METHODS A group-match was done between three groups of hip resurfacing devices according to age, sex, body mass index, activity level, osteoarthritis aetiology and pre-operative scores. RESULTS The global groin pain rate was 5.7 % at six months and 2.7 % at last follow-up. Groin pain rate was significantly different between the three groups (p = 0.004) and had a strong influence on the subjective results (p = 0.04). No groin pain emerged between six months and last follow-up. No clinical differences were noted in Harris hip score and Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score at last follow-up. However, the Oxford hip score and Devane activity score were significantly lower for cups with macrostructures. CONCLUSION The low groin pain rate in this prospective cohort was probably secondary to the specific surgical technique used and seems to be correlated with cup design. Macrostructures on the external part of the cup could be significantly harmful.

Abstract
Large-diameter metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings evolved from the success of hip resurfacing. These implants were used in revision surgery in cases with well-fixed acetabular cups but loose or failed femoral stems, to avoid cup revision. Early data showed low rates of dislocation and potentially low wear profiles due to better fluid film lubrication. The risk of impingement was also thought to be low due to the increased head-neck ratio. Subsequently large-diameter MoM heads gained popularity in primary hip replacement. Recent data has emerged on the unacceptably high revision rates among patients with large-diameter MoM total hip arthroplasties (THAs), high blood levels of metal ions, and adverse tissue reactions. The head-neck (cone-taper) modular interface probably represents the weak link in large metal heads that have been used on conventional tapers. Increased torque of the large head, micromotion, and instability at the cone-taper interface, synergistic interactions between corrosion and wear, edge loading, low clearance, and psoas impingement are the likely causes for early failure of these prostheses.

Abstract
The theoretical advantages of metal-on-metal (MOM) bearing couples in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been recently balanced by concerns regarding adverse local and systemic effects. Higher than anticipated early revision rates have been reported by several joint registries. Failed MOM hips present with a spectrum of symptoms and findings and traditional methods of failure must be considered in addition to the failure modes that appear to be unique to the MOM bearing couple. Metal hypersensitivity and soft tissue immune reactions remain incompletely understood and require careful ongoing study. The tools available to evaluate MOM THAs and the indications for revision surgery remain to be defined. Outcomes following revision of MOM hips appear to depend on appropriate evaluation, early identification, and appropriate surgical management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been numerous recommendations for management of iliopsoas tendinopathy secondary to hip replacement: medical treatment, cup replacement, and open or arthroscopic tenotomy. MATERIAL AND METHOD We report on a series of 10 endoscopic iliopsoas tenotomies. Arthroplasty comprised five primary conventional total prostheses, two large head diameter metal-metal models, one resurfacing and one revision arthroplasty. All patients underwent clinical (PMA, WOMAC), imaging (X-ray, CT, scintigraphy) and biological assessment. Seven cases showed mechanical impingement (six involving the anterior edge of the cup, and one a cement fragment); the other three involved large femoral components (two large head diameter models, one resurfacing). Infiltration test was positive in eight cases out of nine. Endoscopic iliopsoas tenotomy for recurrence was performed in dorsal decubitus on an ordinary table, under fluoroscopy, using two approaches (inferior for the endoscope, superior for the instruments) converging on the lesser trochanter. DISCUSSION There were no complications. At a mean 20 months' follow-up (range, 12-60 months), mean pain grade was 5.5 (4-6). Eight patients showed complete relief, and two partial relief (two atypical cases). Mean PMA score was 16.9 (15-18) and mean WOMAC score 84 (60-95). Muscle force was recovered at a mean 3.25 months (0.5-6). Eight patients were very satisfied, one satisfied and one moderately satisfied. CONCLUSION This technique is much less heavy than implant replacement; postoperative course is shorter than for open tenotomy and the technique is simpler than arthroscopic tenotomy, with lower risk. Subsequent cup change, where necessary, is not compromised. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective, case series.

Abstract
Persistent groin pain after seemingly successful total hip replacement (THR) appears to have become more common. Recent studies have indicated a high incidence after metal-on-polyethylene and metal-on-metal conventional THR and it has been documented in up to 18% of patients after metal-on-metal resurfacing. There are many causes, including acetabular loosening, stress fracture, and iliopsoas tendonitis and impingement. The evaluation of this problem requires a careful history and examination, plain radiographs and an algorithmic approach to special diagnostic imaging and tests. Non-operative treatment is not usually successful. Specific operative treatment depending on the cause of the pain usually involves revision of the acetabular component, iliopsoas tenotomy or other procedures, and is usually successful. Here, an appropriate algorithm is described.
