Patient-reported and radiographic outcomes of a porous-coated acetabular cup in robotic assisted total hip arthroplasty at 2-year follow up. J Orthop 2023; 46:78-82. [PMID: 37969228 PMCID: PMC10643097 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2023.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Several implant manufacturers have developed ultra-porous metal substrate acetabular components recently. Despite this, data on clinical and radiographic outcomes remain limited. Our study evaluated postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and radiographic analyses in patients fitted with a novel acetabular porous-coated component. Methods A total of 152 consecutive patients underwent a total hip arthroplasty by a single orthopaedic surgeon. All patients underwent surgery utilizing the same CT-scan based robotic-assisted device with the same porous cementless acetabular shell. They received standardized postoperative physical therapy, rehabilitation, and pain protocols. Preoperatively, first postoperative visit, 6-months, 1-year, and 2-years, patients were evaluated based on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) pain, physical function, and total scores; 2) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-10 physical and mental scores; 3) Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)-Jr scores; as well as 4) acetabular component positions and 5) evidence of acetabular component loosening. Results Significant improvements were observed by 6 months in WOMAC pain, physical function, and total scores (p < 0.05), maintained at 1 and 2 years. PROMIS-10 physical scores also improved significantly from preoperative to 6 months postoperative and remained so at 1 and 2 years postoperative (p < 0.05). No significant changes were found in PROMIS-10 mental scores. HOOS-Jr scores significantly improved from preoperative to 6 months postoperative and remained so through 2 years (p < 0.05). At 6 months, slight changes were noted in abduction angle and horizontal and vertical offset. Radiolucencies, initially found in 3 shells, reduced to 1 shell with 2 new radiolucencies by 6 months, and remained stable with no subsequent operative interventions. At 1 year and 2 years, no radiographic abnormalities were noted, including complete resolution of prior radiolucencies as well as stable components. Conclusion This porous cementless acetabular shell, implanted with CT-scan-based robotic-assisted techniques, demonstrated excellent postoperative PROMs at 2 years. Stable radiolucencies suggest good component stability. The early stable clinical and radiographic results suggest promising long-term outcomes with this device. Level of evidence III (retrospective cohort study).

World J Orthop 2023; 14:682-689. [PMID: 37744721 PMCID: PMC10514715 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v14.i9.682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty is a common surgical treatment for elderly patients with osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women. In such cases, highly porous acetabular components are a favorable option in achieving osseointegration. However, further discussion is needed if use of such acetabular components is justified under the condition of normal bone mass. AIM To determine the features of osseointegration of two different types of titanium implants [3-dimensional (3D)-printed and plasma-coated titanium implants] in bone tissue of a distal metaphysis in a rat femur model. METHODS This study was performed on 20 white male laboratory rats weighing 300-350 g aged 6 mo. Rats were divided into two groups of 10 animals, which had two different types of implants were inserted into a hole defect (2 × 3 mm) in the distal metaphysis of the femur: Group I: 3D-printed titanium implant (highly porous); Group II: Plasma-coated titanium implant. After 45 and 90 d following surgery, the rats were sacrificed, and their implanted femurs were extracted for histological examination. The relative perimeter (%) of bone trabeculae [bone-implant contact (BIC%)] and bone marrow surrounding the titanium implants was measured. RESULTS Trabecular bone tissue was formed on the 45th day after implantation around the implants regardless of their type. 45 d after surgery, group I (3D-printed titanium implant) and group II (plasma-coated titanium implant) did not differ in BIC% (83.51 ± 8.5 vs 84.12 ± 1 .73; P = 0.838). After 90 d, the BIC% was higher in group I (87.04 ± 6.99 vs 81.24 ± 7.62; P = 0.049), compared to group II. The relative perimeter of the bone marrow after 45 d did not differ between groups and was 16.49% ± 8.58% for group I, and 15.88% ± 1.73% for group II. Futhermore, after 90 d, in group I the relative perimeter of bone marrow was 1.4 times smaller (12.96 ± 6.99 vs 18.76 ± 7.62; P = 0.049) compared to the relative perimeter of bone marrow in group II. CONCLUSION The use of a highly porous titanium implant, manufactured with 3D printing, for acetabular components provides increased osseointegration compared to a plasma-coated titanium implant.

Modeling the debonding process of osseointegrated implants due to coupled adhesion and friction. Biomech Model Mechanobiol 2023; 22:133-158. [PMID: 36284076 PMCID: PMC9957925 DOI: 10.1007/s10237-022-01637-7] [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: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Cementless implants have become widely used for total hip replacement surgery. The long-term stability of these implants is achieved by bone growing around and into the rough surface of the implant, a process called osseointegration. However, debonding of the bone-implant interface can still occur due to aseptic implant loosening and insufficient osseointegration, which may have dramatic consequences. The aim of this work is to describe a new 3D finite element frictional contact formulation for the debonding of partially osseointegrated implants. The contact model is based on a modified Coulomb friction law by Immel et al. (2020), that takes into account the tangential debonding of the bone-implant interface. This model is extended in the direction normal to the bone-implant interface by considering a cohesive zone model, to account for adhesion phenomena in the normal direction and for adhesive friction of partially bonded interfaces. The model is applied to simulate the debonding of an acetabular cup implant. The influence of partial osseointegration and adhesive effects on the long-term stability of the implant is assessed. The influence of different patient- and implant-specific parameters such as the friction coefficient [Formula: see text], the trabecular Young's modulus [Formula: see text], and the interference fit [Formula: see text] is also analyzed, in order to determine the optimal stability for different configurations. Furthermore, this work provides guidelines for future experimental and computational studies that are necessary for further parameter calibration.

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

Abstract
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is associated with increased frictional moments compared to standard heads owing to their large diameter. High frictional moments may harbor the risk of the implant loosening if the frictional moments exceed the fixation stability of the hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Therefore, the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the fixation stability of ceramic hip resurfacing implants through a turn-off test. The test specimens, made of alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) ceramics with an inner titanium-coated surface and square base bodies for better application to the test setup, were pushed on artificial bone materials until a predefined seating depth was achieved. Thereafter, the specimens were turned off from the artificial bone material by using a lever-arm and the turn-off moments were calculated. The density of the artificial bone material utilized (15 and 25 pcf), the press-fit (0.4 and 0.8 mm) and the size of the test specimens varied. The push-on forces ranged from 0.6 ± 0.1 kN to 5.6 ± 0.5 kN depending on the press-fit and artificial bone material. The turn-off moments relied on the respective press-fit, artificial bone material and size of the specimen. They belonged between the range of 8.5 ± 0.4 Nm and 105.4 ± 0.2 Nm. Most of the previously described frictional moments are lower compared to the turn-off moments determined in this study. However, in the worst-case scenario, the turn-off moments of the hip resurfacing implants may be reduced, especially when the adjacent bone stock has a low mineral density.

Abstract
Despite growing evidence supporting the evaluation, classification, and treatment of acetabular bone loss in revision hip replacement, advancements have not been systematically incorporated into a single document, and therefore, a comprehensive review of the treatment of severe acetabular bone loss is needed. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Complex Joint Reconstruction Center at Hospital for Special Surgery held an Acetabular Bone Loss Symposium on June 21, 2019, to answer the following questions: What are the trends, emerging technologies, and areas of future research related to the evaluation and management of acetabular bone loss in revision hip replacement? What constitutes the optimal workup and management strategies for acetabular bone loss? The 36 international experts convened were divided into groups, each assigned to discuss 1 of 4 topics: (1) preoperative planning and postoperative assessment; (2) implant selection, management of osteolysis, and management of massive bone loss; (3) the treatment challenges of pelvic discontinuity, periprosthetic joint infection, instability, and poor bone biology; and (4) the principles of reconstruction and classification of acetabular bone loss. Each group came to consensus, when possible, based on an extensive literature review. This document provides an overview of these 4 areas, the consensus each group arrived at, and directions for future research.

Abstract
With advances in materials science and biology, there have been continuing innovations in the field of artificial joint prostheses. Cementless prostheses have the advantages of long service life, easy revision, and good initial stability and are widely used in artificial joint replacement. Coatings are the key to cementless prostheses and are at the heart of their excellent functionality. This article mainly studies the clinical application of hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, standard porous coating represented by Porocoat coating, and new high-porosity coating represented by Gription coating. The clinical application and biological functionalization of different artificial joint prosthesis surface coatings are clarified, and it provides a reference for the clinical selection and development of different prosthesis surface coating materials.

Clinical and radiological outcomes of total hip arthroplasty using a highly porous titanium cup or a conventional hydroxyapatite-coated titanium cup: A retrospective study in Japanese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A highly porous titanium cup has a unique structure that mimics human trabecular bone and is expected to achieve better outcomes due to rigid fixation and extensive bone ingrowth. Several manufacturers have developed a highly porous titanium cup; however, some have shown a high incidence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) on early postoperative radiographs. In this study, we compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a highly porous titanium cup (OsseoTi, Zimmer Biomet) with those after THA using a conventional hydroxyapatite-coated titanium cup (Trident HA, Stryker). METHODS A total of 201 hips that underwent THA using an OsseoTi cup (n = 101) or Trident cup (n = 100) were enrolled in the study. Patient characteristics, cup alignment, clinical outcome (determined by the Japanese Orthopedic Association [JOA] score), and incidence of RLLs around the cup were evaluated at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS The clinical outcome was excellent in both groups. The incidence of RLLs was 12.9% at 3 months, 20.8% at 6 months, 23.8% at 12 months, and 22.8% at 24 months after surgery in the OsseoTi group; there were no cases of RLL at any time after surgery in the Trident group. The RLLs were mainly distributed in zone 2. Despite the high rate of RLL in the OsseoTi group, the RLL were narrow and only 5% had a width of >1 mm at 24 months postoperatively. There were no cases with RLLs in all three zones. CONCLUSIONS Despite excellent clinical outcomes in both study groups, the incidence of RLLs was higher in the OsseoTi group than in the Trident group. Although none of our cases with RLL have required revision surgery for aseptic loosening so far, these patients require careful follow-up.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium cups used in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) were developed to combine the benefits of a low elastic modulus with a highly porous surface. The aim was to improve local vascularization and bony ingrowth, and at the same time to reduce periprosthetic stress shielding. Additive manufacturing, starting with a titanium alloy powder, allows serial production of devices with large interconnected pores (trabecular titanium), overcoming the drawbacks of tantalum and conventional manufacturing techniques. To date, 3D-printed cups have achieved dependable clinical and radiological outcomes with results not inferior to conventional sockets and with good rates of osseointegration. No mechanical failures and no abnormal ion release and biocompatibility warnings have been reported. In this review, we focused on the manufacturing technique, cup features, clinical outcomes, open questions and future developments of off-the-shelf 3D-printed titanium shells in THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to assess radiolucent lines around a highly porous titanium cup (Tritanium) using digital tomosynthesis and to investigate the clinical and radiographic factors associated with radiolucent lines on tomosynthesis. METHODS Fifty-five patients underwent total hip arthroplasty using a Tritanium cup, and digital tomosynthesis and plain radiography were performed at 1 week, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. The radiolucent lines around the cup were measured on both DTS and plain radiography at each postoperative period. Clinical evaluations were performed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip disease evaluation questionnaire (JHEQ), and revision surgeries were examined. Based on the presence of radiolucent lines on digital tomosynthesis at 2 years postoperatively, patients were divided into RL (+) and RL (-) groups and investigated for related factors. RESULTS There were 20 cases in the RL (+) group and 35 cases in the RL (-) group, and no revision surgeries were required. Statistically, there were more cases with radiolucent lines on digital tomosynthesis (45.4% at 1 week and 36.3% at 2 years) than on plain radiography (9.1% at 1 week and 9.1% at 2 years) at each postoperative point. Logistic analysis showed no significant associations between the presence of radiolucent lines at 2 years on digital tomosynthesis, and the JHEQ parameters of pain (p = 0.937), movement (p = 0.266), or mental status (p = 0.404). CONCLUSION In a short-term evaluation up to 2 years, digital tomosynthesis detected more radiolucent lines around the titanium cups than plain radiography. The occurrence of radiolucent lines was not related to the postoperative clinical evaluation.

Total hip arthroplasty using a three-dimensional porous titanium acetabular cup: an examination of micromotion using subject-specific finite element analysis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:308. [PMID: 33771146 PMCID: PMC8004441 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04174-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We investigated the mid-term clinical and radiological results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a three-dimensional (3D) porous titanium cup and analyzed the micromotion at the interface of the cup using subject-specific finite element (FE) analysis. Methods We evaluated 73 hips of 65 patients (6 men and 59 women; mean age at the time of surgery, 62.2 years; range, 45–86 years) who had undergone THA using a 3D porous titanium cup. Clinical evaluations were performed using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip score system. We assessed the fixation of the acetabular component based on the presence of radiolucent lines and cup migration using anteroposterior radiographs. Subject-specific FE models were constructed from computed tomography data. Results The JOA score improved from a preoperative mean of 52.2 (range, 23–82) to a mean of 87.8 (range, 71–100) at the final follow-up. None of the patients underwent revisions during the follow-up period. Radiolucent lines were observed in 26 cases (35.6%) and frequently appeared at DeLee and Charnley Zone 3. Following the FE analysis, the micromotion at DeLee and Charnley Zone 3 was significantly larger than that at Zone 2. Furthermore, micromotion was large in the groups in which radiolucent lines appeared at Zone 3. Conclusions The mid-term clinical outcome of THA using a 3D porous titanium cup was excellent. However, radiolucent lines frequently appeared at DeLee and Charnley Zone 3. FE analysis indicated that micromotion was large at the same site, strongly suggesting that it contributes to the emergence of radiolucent lines. The 3D porous titanium cups are useful in THA, and with improvements focused on micromotion, we anticipate better long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Cups are more frequently revised than stems after uncemented total hip arthroplasty, which warrants the development of cup surfaces that provide long-lasting, stable fixation. Large heads have become popular with the aim of reducing dislocation rates, but they generate greater frictional torque that may compromise cup fixation. We aimed to investigate (1) if a novel porous titanium surface provides superior cup fixation when compared with a porous plasma spray (PPS) surface and (2) if the use of the largest possible head compromises cup fixation when compared with a 32-mm head. METHODS Ninety-six patients were randomized to receive either a cup with a porous titanium coating (PTC) or a cup with PPS. A second randomization was performed to either the largest possible (36 to 44-mm) or a 32-mm head in metal-on-vitamin-E-infused polyethylene bearings. Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) examinations were obtained postoperatively at 3, 12, and 24 months. The primary outcome was proximal cup migration when comparing the 2 cup surfaces and also when comparing the largest possible head with the 32-mm head. The patients were followed for 2 years. RESULTS The median (and interquartile range) proximal cup migration was 0.15 mm (0.02 to 0.32 mm) for the PTC cup and 0.21 mm (0.11 to 0.34 mm) for the PPS cup. The largest possible head had a proximal cup migration of 0.15 mm (0.09 to 0.31 mm), and the 32-mm head had a proximal cup migration of 0.20 mm (0.04 to 0.35 mm). There were no significant differences between the cup surface (p = 0.378) or the head size (p = 0.693) groups. CONCLUSIONS Early cup fixation was not superior with the novel PTC cup; the use of the largest possible head (36 to 44 mm) did not compromise early cup fixation.

Comparison of Test Setups for the Experimental Evaluation of the Primary Fixation Stability of Acetabular Cups. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13183982. [PMID: 32916802 PMCID: PMC7559462 DOI: 10.3390/ma13183982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 08/28/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Sufficient primary fixation stability is the basis for the osseointegration of cementless acetabular cups. Several test methods have been established for determining the tilting moment of acetabular press-fit cups, which is a measure for their primary fixation stability. The central aim of this experimental study was to show the differences between the commonly used lever-out test method (Method 1) and the edge-load test method (Method 2) in which the cup insert is axially loaded (1 kN) during the tilting process with respect to the parameters, tilting moment, and interface stiffness. Therefore, using a biomechanical cup block model, a press-fit cup design with a macro-structured surface was pushed into three cavity types (intact, moderate superior defect, and two-point-pinching cavity) made of 15 pcf and 30 pcf polyurethane foam blocks (n = 3 per cavity and foam density combination), respectively. Subsequently, the acetabular cup was disassembled from the three artificial bone cavities using the lever-out and the edge-load test method. Tilting moments determined with Method 1 ranged from 2.72 ± 0.29 Nm to 49.08 ± 1.50 Nm, and with Method 2, they ranged from 41.40 ± 1.05 Nm to 112.86 ± 5.29 Nm. In Method 2, larger areas of abrasion were observed in the artificial bone cavity compared to Method 1. This indicates increased shear forces at the implant–bone interface in the former method. In conclusion, Method 1 simulates the technique used by orthopedic surgeons to assess the correct fit of the trial cup, while Method 2 simulates the tilting of the cup in the acetabular bone cavity under in situ loading with the hip resultant force.

Fixation Stability of Uncemented Acetabular Cups With Respect to Different Bone Defect Sizes. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1720-1728.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In total hip arthroplasty, acetabular press-fit cups require a proper bone stock for sufficient primary implant fixation. The presence of acetabular bone defects compromises the primary fixation stability of acetabular press-fit cups. The aim of the present study is to determine the fixation stability of a cementless acetabular cup regarding standardized bone defects in an experimental setup. METHODS An acetabular defect model was developed and transferred to a biomechanical cup-block model. The lack of superior cup coverage was divided into 4 stages of superior rim loss (33%, 50%, 67%, and 83%) in the anterior-posterior direction and into 4 stages of mediolateral wall absence (11%, 22%, 33%, and 50%). This resulted in 11 different defect cavities, which were compared to the intact cavity in push-in and lever-out tests of one press-fit cup design (56 mm outer diameter). Thereby, push-in force, lever-out moment, lever-out angle, and interface stiffness were determined. RESULTS The determined lever-out moments range from 15.53 ± 1.38 Nm (intact cavity) to 1.37 ± 0.54 Nm (83%/50% defect). Smaller defects (33%/11%, 33%/22%, and 50%/11%) reduce the lever-out moments by an average of 33.9% ± 2.8%. CONCLUSION The lack of mediolateral acetabular coverage of 50% was assessed as critical for cementless cup fixation, whereby the contact zone between implant and bone in the defect is lost. A lack of 20% to 30% mediolateral coverage appears to be acceptable for press-fit cup fixation in the presence of primary stability. A defect of 50%/50% was identified as the threshold for using additional fixation methods.

Abstract
The total number of total hip arthroplasties is increasing every year, and approximately 10% of these surgeries are revisions. New implant design and surgical techniques are evolving quickly and demand accurate preclinical evaluation. The initial stability of cementless implants is one of the main concerns of these preclinical evaluations. A broad range of initial stability test methods is currently used, which can be categorized into two main groups: Load-to-failure tests and relative micromotion measurements. Measuring relative micromotion between implant and bone is recognized as the golden standard for implant stability testing as this micromotion is directly linked to the long-term fixation of cementless implants. However, specific custom-made set-ups are required to measure this micromotion, with the result that numerous studies opt to perform more straightforward load-to-failure tests. A custom-made micromotion test set-up for artificial acetabular bone models was developed and used to compare load-to-failure (implant push-out test) with micromotion and to assess the influence of bone material properties and press-fit on the implant stability. The results showed a high degree of correlation between micromotion and load-to-failure stability metrics, which indicates that load-to-failure stability tests can be an appropriate estimator of the primary stability of acetabular implants. Nevertheless, micromotions still apply as the golden standard and are preferred when high accuracy is necessary. Higher bone density resulted in an increase in implant stability. An increase of press-fit from 0.7 mm to 1.2 mm did not significantly increase implant stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary anti-rotational stability is critical to preventing cup tilting failure following revision total hip arthroplasty, but is frequently compromised by severe ischial bone loss. A novel technique of "inferior extended fixation" was introduced by securing a porous metal augment into the deficient ischium. This study evaluated the effect of this technique on primary anti-rotational stability in revision total hip arthroplasty. METHODS Composite hemipelvis specimens, acetabular components and "lotus" augments were used to simulate total hip arthroplasty surgeries. Three different cementless operative settings of cup implantation were simulated: (1) native ischium without defects; (2) ischium with a defect not reconstructed; (3) ischial defect reconstructed with inferior extended fixation using a lotus augment. Lever-out testing was used to examine primary anti-rotational stability, which was measured as interface stiffness and yield moment. FINDINGS Compared with the native ischium setting, the mean interface stiffness decreased by 53.1% in the ischial defect setting (p < 0.001). In the inferior extended fixation setting, the mean value was 110% greater than that in the ischial defect setting (p = 0.014), and comparable to that in the native ischium setting (p = 1). Similar results were observed for the yield moment (declined by 63.1%, p < 0.001; 200% higher, p < 0.001; and p = 0.395; respectively). INTERPRETATION In revision total hip arthroplasty with severe ischial defects, inferior extended fixation with a lotus porous titanium augment restores anti-rotational stability of the acetabular component to the level of that with a native ischium, which provides the mechanical environment for bone ingrowth and prevents cup tilting failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to assess the radiographic results, clinical outcomes, and survivorship of a modern cementless dual-mobility cup (DMC) implant as a primary THA with a minimum of 10 years follow-up. METHODS This study retrospectively assessed a series of 310 primary THAs using a modern-generation cementless DMC (Saturne acetabular cup) between April 2001 and December 2005 at a single center. Patients were followed prospectively clinically and radiographically after surgery. Hips with follow-up less than 120 months were excluded from the study (5 lost to follow-up and 167 deceased). In total, a cohort of 138 hips were included for preoperative and postoperative analysis with an average follow-up of 152.4 months. All complications were collected, and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. RESULTS There was a significant increase in the mean Harris and Postel-Merle d'Aubigne scores between preoperative and postoperative cohorts (P < .001). No loosening of the cup and no acetabular osteolysis were found at final follow-up. No prosthetic dislocation, no intraprosthetic dislocation, and no infections were reported. The survival curve of THA in the total cohort (N = 310) was about 98% at 10 years with 3 stem revisions for femoral fracture. One psoas impingement was also described. CONCLUSION This study showed no acetabular component failure and no reported cases of acetabular osteolysis with this DMC acetabular component retention at 10 years. No prosthetic or intraprosthetic dislocation was reported.

Abstract
For biologic fixation, press-fit acetabular cups should have initial stability with minimal micromotion and osteoconductive surfaces in contact with bone. Inadequate exposure potentially influences initial stability by increasing the possibility of soft tissue interposition and contamination at the implant-tissue interface. A sawbone model was used to examine how interposed tissue and contamination influence initial cup stability. Seven groups (n = 4) were tested with varying levels of interposed fatty and fibrous tissue placed around the rim of the cup. 54 millimeter in diameter highly porous hemispherical acetabular cups (Stryker, Mahwah NJ) and 54 mm reamed cavities in sawbone blocks were used. Shells were seated and maximum lever out force was recorded for each sample. Cups with fibrous tissue spaced evenly along the rim had a lever out force that was 150% of the control (107 ± 6 vs. 150 ± 12N, p = 0.005), and fatty tissue contamination had a lever out force that was 140% of the control (143 ± 18 vs. 107 ± 6N, p = 0.04). Cups with fibrous tissue placed eccentrically along the rim had a lever out force that was double the control 107 ± 6 N vs. 200 ± 15 N (p = 0.001). Surprisingly, fatty tissue contamination and fibrous tissue interposition at the rim increased initial stability. The eccentrically interposed tissue forced the opposite pole of the cup into the bone, resulting in a more secure press-fit. However, soft tissue interposition decreases implant/bone apposition, and the effect on long term fixation is unknown. Statement of Clinical Significance: Soft tissue interposition between the bone and cup may provide higher initial stability, but its long-term effects are unknown. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development in implants such as acetabular cups using additive manufacturing techniques is playing an increasingly important role in the healthcare industry. METHOD This study compared the primary stability of four selectively laser-melted press-fit cups (Ti6Al4V) with open-porous, load-bearing structural elements on the surface. The aim was to assess whether the material of the artificial bone stock affects the primary stability of the acetabular cup. The surface structures consist of repeated open-porous, load-bearing elements orthogonal to the acetabular surface. Experimental pull-out and lever-out tests were performed on exact-fit and press-fit cups to evaluate the primary stability of the cups in different synthetic bone substitutes. The acetabular components were placed in three different commercially available synthetic materials (ROHACELL-IGF 110, SikaBlock M330, Sawbones Solid Rigid). Results & conclusions: Within the scope of the study, it was possible to show the differences in fixation strength between the tested acetabular cups depending on their design, the structural elements used, and the different bone substitute material. In addition, functional correlations could be found which provide a qualitative reference to the material density of the bone stock and the press-fit volume of the acetabular cups.

The characteristics, mechanical and biological properties of the two types of cups were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, mechanical tests, finite element analysis and canine total hip arthroplasty (THA). Results showed that the porous cup had high porosity and large pore size with good mechanical properties without obvious stress shielding, and it had sufficient safety for implantation according to the finite element analysis. Both groups showed good biocompatibility and osteogenic ability after the THA surgeries, but the porous group had more bone ingrowth and higher bone-implant contact rate according to the micro-CT and histopathologic results. Therefore, the canine fully porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup fabricated by the sintering technique could provide sufficient space and adequate mechanical support without obvious stress shielding effect for bone ingrowth. Compared with the traditional HA-coated cup, the porous cup may be more effective in achieving in vivo stability, which could contribute to reducing the risk of aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Studies over the past decade have reported that the use of highly porous sockets in total hip arthroplasty (THA) results in osseointegration and long-term implant stability. However, some reports have raised concerns regarding radiographic evidence of poor osseointegration with features of fibrous tissue ingrowth. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic assessments of highly porous sockets with those of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated porous sockets in THA for hip dysplasia (DDH) at least 1 year after surgery. A total of 127 patients (136 hips) were recruited for the study. Of these, 94 patients (101 hips) received highly porous sockets with clustered screws, while 33 patients (35 hips) received HA-coated porous sockets with clustered screws. There was no difference in clinical outcomes between the two types of sockets. All HA-coated porous sockets were radiographically stable, without radiolucent lines. Fifteen hips had radiolucent lines in two or three DeLee and Charnley zones, accompanied by sclerotic lines along the circumferences of the highly porous sockets. A significant difference in the height of the preoperative osteophyte of the anterior acetabular wall was observed between 86 hips with one or no radiolucent lines and 15 hips with two or three radiolucent lines. In cases of DDH with atrophic bone remodeling pattern, highly porous sockets with multiple screws may be used, while HA-coated porous sockets with clustered screws result in better sealing of the bone–component interface.

Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) foam is a material often used in biomechanical experiments and demands for the definition of crushable foam plasticity (CFP) in numerical simulations of the primary stability and deformation of implants, to describe the crushing behaviour appropriately. Material data of PU foams with five different densities (10-40 pounds per cubic foot were ascertained experimentally in uniaxial compression test and used to calibrate CFP models for finite element modelling. Additionally, experimental and numerical deformation, push-out and lever-out tests of press-fit acetabular cups were carried out to assess the influence of the chosen material definition (linear elastic and CFP) on the numerical results. Comparison of the experimentally and numerically determined force-displacement curves of the uniaxial compression test showed a mean deviation of less than 3%. In primary stability testing, the deviation between the experimental and numerical results was in a range of 0%-27% for CFP modelling and 64%-341% for the linear elastic model. The material definition selected, highly influenced the numerical results in the current study. The use of a CFP model is recommended for further numerical simulations, when a deformation of the foam beyond the yield strength is likely to occur.

Abstract
Background: Nowadays, hip cups are being used in a wide range of design versions and in an increasing number of units. Their development is progressing steadily. In contrast to conventional methods of manufacturing acetabular cups, additive methods play an increasingly central role in the development progress. Method: A series of eight modified cups were developed on the basis of a standard press-fit cup with a pole flattening and in a reduced version. The surface structures consist of repetitive open-pore load-bearing textural elements aligned right-angled to the cup surface. We used three different types of unit cells (twisted, combined and combined open structures) for constructing of the surface structure. All cups were manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM) of titanium powder (Ti6Al4V). To evaluate the primary stability of the press fit cups in the artificial bone cavity, pull-out and lever-out tests were conducted. All tests were carried out under exact fit conditions. The closed-cell polyurethane (PU) foam, which was used as an artificial bone cavity, was characterized mechanically in order to preempt any potential impact on the test results. Results and conclusions: The pull-out forces as well as the lever moments of the examined cups differ significantly depending on the elementary cells used. The best results in pull-out forces and lever-out moments are shown by the press-fit cups with a combined structure. The results for the assessment of primary stability are related to the geometry used (unit cell), the dimensions of the unit cell, and the volume and porosity responsible for the press fit. Corresponding functional relationships could be identified. The findings show that the implementation of reduced cups in a press-fit design makes sense as part of the development work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High friction moments in hip implants contribute to the aseptic loosening of cementless cups, of which there are approximately 100,000 cases per year; sustained joint loading may cause such high moments. The most "critical" physical activities associated with sustained joint loading were identified in this study. METHODS Friction moments in the cup were telemetrically measured about 33,000 times in the endoprostheses of 9 subjects during >1,400 different activities. The highest moments were compared with the cup's fixation stability limit of approximately 4 Nm. RESULTS A total of 124 different activities caused friction moments meeting or exceeding the critical limit, with the highest value of 11.5 Nm. Most involved sustained high contact forces before or during the activity. The highest peak moments (6.3 to 11.5 Nm) occurred when moving the contralateral leg during 1-legged stance, during breaststroke swimming, muscle stretching, 2-legged stance with muscle contraction, and during static 1-legged stance. The median moments were highest (3.4 to 3.9 Nm) for unstable 1-legged stance, whole-body vibration training, 2-legged stance with an unexpected push at the upper body, 1-legged stance while exercising the contralateral leg, and running after 2-legged stance. CONCLUSIONS Frequent unloading plus simultaneous movement of the joint are required to maintain good joint lubrication and keep the friction moments low. Frequent, sustained high loads before or during an activity may cause or contribute to aseptic cup loosening. During the first months after hip arthroplasty, such activities should be avoided or reduced as much as possible. This especially applies during postoperative physiotherapy. Whether these guidelines also apply for subjects with knee implants or arthrotic hip or knee joints requires additional investigation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The risk of aseptic cup loosening may be reduced by avoiding sustained loading of hip implants without periodic joint movement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New materials in cementless total hip arthroplasty are continuously introduced into clinical practice. The objective of this study was to compare the radiographic and clinical performances of acetabular shells made with porous titanium coating (PTC) and plasma-sprayed titanium (PS). METHODS Data from a prospective multicenter study monitoring PTC and PS shells were analyzed. Three hundred and eighty patients (191 with PTC and 189 with PS) with postoperative (within 10 months after the operation) and 5-year radiographs were available for assessment of radiographic outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). A radiolucent distance between the cup and acetabulum of ≥0.5 mm was defined as a gap if it was found on a postoperative radiograph and as a radiolucency if it was found on a later follow-up radiograph for the first time. RESULTS Postoperative gaps were more common with the PS shell (40% versus 24%, p < 0.001). However, a higher percentage of the gaps in the PTC group persisted at 5 years (56% versus 4%, p < 0.001). At 5 years, 23% of the PTC shells had a radiolucency versus 5% of the PS shells (p < 0.001). Logistic regression revealed a 5.2-fold increase in the odds for radiolucency with the PTC shell (p < 0.001). No patient underwent revision surgery due to acetabular component loosening within the study period. A PTC shell was the only factor associated with the risk of pain in a logistic regression model (odds ratio = 2.0, p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS PTC shells were associated with more patient-reported pain and a higher risk of radiolucency and a persistent gap at 5 years compared with the PS shells, although these outcomes were not related to each other. The clinical relevance of the radiographic findings is unclear as no prostheses were revised because of loosening, but the findings warrant additional follow-up studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The acetabular cup (AC) implant primary stability is an important determinant for the success of cementless hip surgery but it remains difficult to assess the AC implant fixation in the clinic. A method based on the analysis of the impact produced by an instrumented hammer on the ancillary has been developed by our group (Michel et al., 2016a). However, the soft tissue thickness present around the acetabulum may affect the impact response, which may hamper the robustness of the method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the soft tissue thickness (STT) on the acetabular cup implant primary fixation evaluation using impact analyses. METHODS To do so, different AC implants were inserted in five bovine bone samples. For each sample, different stability conditions were obtained by changing the cavity diameter. For each configuration, the AC implant was impacted 25 times with 10 and 30 mm of soft tissues positioned underneath the sample. The averaged indicator Im was determined based on the amplitude of the signal for each configuration and each STT and the pull-out force was measured. FINDINGS The results show that the resonance frequency of the system increases when the value of the soft tissue thickness decreases. Moreover, an ANOVA analysis shows that there was no significant effect of the value of soft tissue thickness on the values of the indicator Im (F = 2.33; p-value = 0.13). INTERPRETATION This study shows that soft tissue thickness does not appear to alter the prediction of the acetabular cup implant primary fixation obtained using the impact analysis approach, opening the path towards future clinical trials.

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

Treatment of High-Grade Acetabular Defects: Do Porous Titanium Cups Provide Better Stability Than Traditional Titanium Cups When Combined With an Augment? J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:1838-1843.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision total hip arthroplasty frequently faces challenges associated with deficient bone stock. Porous metal implants were developed to meet the challenge, but require rapid osseointegration for ultimate success. This study aims to assess relative motion as an indicator for primary stability and osseointegration of two different titanium cups each combined with a titanium augment. METHODS In 14 cadaver hemipelvises, 2 types of titanium acetabular cups, a traditional sintered-bead cup (POROCOAT Acetabular Cup [PAC]) and a newer porous-coated cup (GRIPTION Acetabular Cup [GAC]) each associated with a porous augment, were subjected to 3-dimensional varying loads, replicating 30% of loads experienced during normal gait. Relative motion was measured at the cup/bone, augment/bone, and cup/augment interfaces. RESULTS Only at the cup/bone interface was there a statistically significant difference in relative motion between the traditional PAC and the newer GAC, with PAC showing less relative motion (P = .0037). Bone mineral density (BMD) had a significant effect on relative motion (P = .0019) at the cup/bone interface of both cup types, with low BMD specimens showing more relative motion. CONCLUSION Both cup types combined with augments displayed minimal relative motion that was within the accepted range thought to allow osseointegration, although the traditional surface proved superior to the newer surface. This difference was more pronounced at low BMD, with the well-established PAC cup displaying less relative motion than the more porous GAC cup, consistent with better osseointegration than the more porous cup. This suggests that the more porous implant may be less advantageous than traditional PAC cups, particularly in cases with poorer bone stock.

Abstract
Today hip cups are used in a large variety of design variants and in increasing numbers of units. Their development is steadily progressing. In addition to conventional manufacturing methods for hip cups, additive methods, in particular, play an increasingly important role as development progresses. The present paper describes a modified cup model developed based on a commercially available press-fit cup (Allofit 54/JJ). The press-fit cup was designed in two variants and manufactured using selective laser melting (SLM). Variant 1 (Ti) was modeled on the Allofit cup using an adapted process technology. Variant 2 (Ti-S) was provided with a porous load bearing structure on its surface. In addition to the typical (complete) geometry, both variants were also manufactured and tested in a reduced shape where only the press-fit area was formed. To assess the primary stability of the press-fit cups in the artificial bone cavity, pull-out and lever-out tests were carried out. Exact fit conditions and two-millimeter press-fit were investigated. The closed-cell PU foam used as an artificial bone cavity was mechanically characterized to exclude any influence on the results of the investigation. The pull-out forces of the Ti-variant (complete-526 N, reduced-468 N) and the Ti-S variant (complete-548 N, reduced-526 N) as well as the lever-out moments of the Ti-variant (complete-10 Nm, reduced-9.8 Nm) and the Ti-S variant (complete-9 Nm, reduced-7.9 N) show no significant differences in the results between complete and reduced cups. The results show that the use of reduced cups in a press-fit design is possible within the scope of development work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of revision hip arthroplasty procedures has been increasing substantially, with the acetabular component requiring component revision in over half of the cases. New porous implant designs attempt to improve outcomes due to improved osseointegration; however, sufficient primary stability is paramount for good osseointegration. METHODS We compared 2 revision cups of the same geometry, yet different surface properties in an in vitro scenario: a porous titanium surface and a conventional sintered-bead titanium surface. These were tested in 10 cadaveric pelvises under a physiologic cyclic partial weight-bearing scenario. Each side was randomly implanted with one of the implants. Relative motion between the bone and cup was measured using an optical measuring device. Statistical evaluation was carried out descriptively using a covariance analysis with repeated measures and a test of fixed effects, with significance determined as P < .05. RESULTS The conventional cup displayed an average relative motion of 28.02 μm; and the porous implant displayed an average relative motion of 33.42 μm. There was no statistically significant difference between the two with regard to the resultant relative motion (P = .2649). The bone mineral density does have a significant influence on resultant relative motion (P = .0406), with higher bone mineral density correlating with less relative motion in both implants. CONCLUSION The porous implant provides similar primary stability to the conventional implant in the tested scenario; the motion of both implants relative to the bone was within safe limits for osseointegration. Bone stock must be considered when choosing implant type and postoperative care.

Carli AV, Warth LC, de Mesy Bentley KL, Nestor BJ. Short to Midterm Follow-Up of the Tritanium Primary Acetabular Component: A Cause for Concern. J Arthroplasty 2017; 32:463-469. [PMID: 27642044 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2016.07.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2016] [Revised: 07/13/2016] [Accepted: 07/27/2016] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several acetabular components utilizing novel ultraporous metal substrates have been introduced over the past decade. Collectively by design, they have a lower modulus of elasticity to reduce stress shielding, a higher coefficient of friction to enhance interference fit, and ultraporous surfaces to enhance osseointegration. However, little literature exists regarding their clinical performance. METHODS This study compared the clinical and radiographic results of 109 hips in 95 patients using a Tritanium primary cup (Stryker, Mahwah, NJ) to an age, body mass index, and gender-matched cohort of 100 patients that received a contemporary cup (Stryker Trident PSL HA). RESULTS At an average 4.24 + 1.49 years, implant survivorship of the Tritanium primary cup was 98.2%, with 2 cups revised for failure of osseointegration. One-year radiographs revealed radiolucent and radiosclerotic lines in 2 or more DeLee zones in 30.3% of cups and 3 zone involvement in 8.2%. These proportions increased (40.0% and 17.1%, respectively) at minimum 5-year follow-up. A comparison of 1 year and last follow-up radiographs revealed progression in 13.8%. Tritanium primary components with radiolucency in 2 or more zones exhibited significantly lower HHS at 2 years compared to all Trident peripheral self-locking (PSL) components (P < .0001) and Tritanium primary components with 1 zone or no radiolucency (P = .026). Scanning electron microscopy of a retrieved cup revealed local inflammatory reaction and no evidence of osseointegration. CONCLUSION Despite adequate implant survivorship, over one third of Tritanium primary cups had 2 or more zone radiolucency at minimum 5-year follow-up with associated lower Harris hip scores.

Abstract
PURPOSE Instability following total hip arthroplasty remains a common and disabling complication. The dual mobility cup (DMC) allows a reduction in the dislocation rate. An increasing number of studies have been undertaken to better understand DMC long term outcomes and complications. The goal of this systematic review was to clarify its different uses and outcomes according to the indications. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was performed using the keywords 'dual mobility' and 'tripolar cup' with no limit regarding the year of publication. One hundred seventy six publications were identified. RESULTS Current literature shows that "contemporary" dual mobility cup are a significant indication to manage instability following primary and revision hip arthroplasty. Survivorship at midterm is comparable to other articulations for primary THA, but is more difficult to evaluate in revision. Intra-prosthetic dislocation, wear, and loosening are now uncommon with new generations of DMC. CONCLUSIONS Compared to previous generations of DMC, the current "contemporary" DMC presents a significant improvement. Current literature reveals a tendency to increase the indications but further studies with long term follow up remain important to consolidate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Highly porous metal acetabular components illustrate a decreased rate of aseptic loosening in short-term follow-up compared with previous registry data. This study compared the effect of component surface roughness at the bone-implant interface and the quality of the bone on initial pressfit stability. The null hypothesis is that a standard porous coated acetabular cup would show no difference in initial stability as compared with a highly porous acetabular cup when subjected to a bending moment. Second, would bone mineral density (BMD) be a significant variable under these test conditions. METHODS In a cadaveric model, acetabular cup micromotion was measured during a 1-time cantilever bending moment applied to 2 generations of pressfit acetabular components. BMD data were also obtained from the femoral necks available for associated specimen. RESULTS The mean bending moment at 150 μm was not found to be significantly different for Gription (24.6 ± 14.0 N m) cups vs Porocoat (25 ± 10.2 N m; P > .84). The peak bending moment tolerated by Gription cups (33.9 ± 20.3 N m) was not found to be significantly different from Porocoat (33.5 ± 12.2 N m; P > .92). No correlation between BMD and bending moment at 150 μm of displacement could be identified. CONCLUSION The coefficient of friction provided by highly porous metal acetabular shells used in this study did not provide better resistance to migration under bending load when compared with a standard porous coated component.

Abstract
Obtaining primary stability of acetabular cup (AC) implants is one of the main objectives of press-fit procedures used for cementless hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the AC implant primary stability can be evaluated using the signals obtained with an impact hammer. A hammer equipped with a force sensor was used to impact the AC implant in 20 bovine bone samples. For each sample, different stability conditions were obtained by changing the cavity diameter. For each configuration, the inserted AC implant was impacted four times with a maximum force comprised between 2500 and 4500 N. An indicator I was determined based on the partial impulse estimation and the pull-out force was measured. The implant stability and the value of the indicator I reached a maximum value for an interference fit equal to 1 mm for 18 out of 20 samples. When pooling all samples and all configurations, the implant stability and I were significantly correlated (R(2) = 0.83). The AC implant primary stability can be assessed through the analysis of the impact force signals obtained using an impact hammer. Based on these ex vivo results, a medical device could be developed to provide a decision support system to the orthopedic surgeons.

Abstract
Vitamin E diffusion into highly cross-linked polyethylene (E-XLPE) is a method for enhancing oxidative stability of acetabular liners. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vivo penetration of E-XLPE using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Eighty-four hips were recruited into a prospective 10-year RSA. This is the first evaluation of the multicenter cohort after 3-years. All patients received E-XLPE liners (E1, Biomet) and porous-titanium coated cups (Regenerex, Biomet). There was no difference (P=0.450) in median femoral head penetration into the E-XLPE liners at 3-years comparing cobalt-chrome heads (-0.028mm; inter-quartile range (IQR) - 0.065 to 0.047) with ceramic heads (-0.043mm, IQR - 0.143to0.042). The 3-year follow-up indicates minimal E-XLPE liner penetration regardless of head material and minimal early cup movement.

Abstract
We hypothesised that the use of tantalum (Ta) acetabular components in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) was protective against subsequent failure due to infection. We identified 966 patients (421 men, 545 women and 990 hips) who had undergone revision THA between 2000 and 2013. The mean follow up was 40.2 months (3 months to 13.1 years). The mean age of the men and women was 62.3 years (31 to 90) and 65.1 years (25 to 92), respectively. Titanium (Ti) acetabular components were used in 536 hips while Ta components were used in 454 hips. In total, 73 (7.3%) hips experienced subsequent acetabular failure. The incidence of failure was lower in the Ta group at 4.4% (20/454) compared with 9.9% (53/536) in the Ti group (p < 0.001, odds ratio 2.38; 95% CI 1.37 to 4.27). Among the 144 hips (64 Ta, 80 Ti) for which revision had been performed because of infection, failure due to a subsequent infection was lower in the Ta group at 3.1% (2/64) compared with 17.5% (14/80) for the Ti group (p = 0.006). Thus, the use of Ta acetabular components during revision THA was associated with a lower incidence of failure from all causes and Ta components were associated with a lower incidence of subsequent infection when used in patients with periprosthetic joint infection.

Abstract
The implant primary stability of the acetabular cup (AC) is an important parameter for the surgical success of press-fit procedures used for the insertion of cementless hip prostheses. In previous studies by our group (Mathieu, V., Michel, A., Lachaniette, C. H. F., Poignard, A., Hernigou, P., Allain, J., and Haiat, G., 2013, “Variation of the Impact Duration During the in vitro Insertion of Acetabular Cup Implants,” Med. Eng. Phys., 35(11), pp. 1558–1563) and (Michel, A., Bosc, R., Mathieu, V., Hernigou, P., and Haiat, G., 2014, “Monitoring the Press-Fit Insertion of an Acetabular Cup by Impact Measurements: Influence of Bone Abrasion,” Proc. Inst. Mech. Eng., Part H, 228(10), pp. 1027–1034), the impact momentum and duration were shown to carry information on the press-fit insertion of the AC within bone tissue. The aim of the present study is to relate the impact momentum recorded during the AC insertion to the AC biomechanical primary stability. The experimental protocol consisted in testing 13 bovine bone samples that underwent successively series of 15 reproducible mass falls impacts (5 kg, 5 cm) followed by tangential stability testing. Each bone sample was tested with different hole sizes in order to obtain different stability configurations. The impact momentum and the tangential primary stability reach a maximum value for an interference fit equal to around 1 mm. Moreover, a correlation between the impact momentum and the stability was obtained with all samples and all configuration (R2 = 0.65). The implant primary stability can be assessed through the measurement of the impact force signal analysis. This study opens new paths for the development of a medical device which could be used as a decision support system to assist the surgeon during the insertion of the AC implant.

Abstract
The principle of dual mobility cups, often called "tripolar", has been developed to overcome the problem of instability following primary hip arthroplasty. We prospectively compared two cohorts which differed only by the type of bearings, i.e." mobile bearing hip" (MBH) in a 143-study cohort of ADM cups versus "fixed bearing hip" (FBH) of 130 Trident PSL cups, at a follow-up at 2-6years. The survival rates at 4.13-years, with instability as endpoint was significantly (P=0.0176) in favor of mobile bearings at 100% with no dislocation reported, versus 94.8% with fixed bearings. These mobile bearings, matching both "modern" dual mobility cups and annealed highly crossed polyethylene, would appear to offer at longer follow-up a valuable solution to clinical outcomes in acetabular arthroplasty.

Abstract
Initial stability is an essential prerequisite to achieve osseointegration of press-fit acetabular cups in total hip replacements. Most in vitro methods that assess cup stability do not reproduce physiological loading conditions and use simplified acetabular models with a spherical cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bone density and acetabular geometry on cup stability using a novel method for measuring acetabular cup micromotion. A press-fit cup was inserted into Sawbones® foam blocks having different densities to simulate normal and osteoporotic bone variations and different acetabular geometries. The stability of the cup was assessed in two ways: (a) measurement of micromotion of the cup in 6 degrees of freedom under physiological loading and (b) uniaxial push-out tests. The results indicate that changes in bone substrate density and acetabular geometry affect the stability of press-fit acetabular cups. They also suggest that cups implanted into weaker, for example, osteoporotic, bone are subjected to higher levels of micromotion and are therefore more prone to loosening. The decrease in stability of the cup in the physiological model suggests that using simplified spherical cavities to model the acetabulum over-estimates the initial stability of press-fit cups. This novel testing method should provide the basis for a more representative protocol for future pre-clinical evaluation of new acetabular cup designs.

Abstract
Hip instability after total hip replacement has been shown to be a critical cause of failure. The use of dual mobility has been classically restricted to patients "at risk", over 70 years of age. The question rises up about extended indications of so-called "modern" second generation dual mobility cups. This prospective multicenter study reports on first results at 2-5 years of the HA anatomical ADM cup upon two comparative groups of patients under 70 years (112 hips) vs. over 70 years of age (325 hips). No dislocation, migration, tilting, wear, or intra-prosthetic dislocation was recorded within each of the two cohorts. Survivorship for cup failures at this 4-year period was ideal at 100% in the younger patients, and 99.7% in the older group of patients.

Abstract
Objective This study compared the primary stability of two commercially
available acetabular components from the same manufacturer, which
differ only in geometry; a hemispherical and a peripherally enhanced
design (peripheral self-locking (PSL)). The objective was to determine
whether altered geometry resulted in better primary stability. Methods Acetabular components were seated with 0.8 mm to 2 mm interference
fits in reamed polyethylene bone substrate of two different densities
(0.22 g/cm3 and 0.45 g/cm3). The primary stability
of each component design was investigated by measuring the peak
failure load during uniaxial pull-out and tangential lever-out tests. Results There was no statistically significant difference in seating
force (p = 0.104) or primary stability (pull-out p = 0.171, lever-out
p = 0.087) of the two components in the low-density substrate. Similarly,
in the high-density substrate, there was no statistically significant
difference in the peak pull-out force (p = 0.154) or lever-out moment
(p = 0.574) between the designs. However, the PSL component required
a significantly higher seating force than the hemispherical cup
in the high-density bone analogue (p = 0.006). Conclusions Higher seating forces associated with the PSL design may result
in inadequate seating and increased risk of component malpositioning
or acetabular fracture in the intra-operative setting in high-density
bone stock. Our results, if translated clinically, suggest that
a purely hemispherical geometry may have an advantage over a peripherally
enhanced geometry in high density bone stock. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2013;2:264–9.
