Abstract
Stainless-steel screws are commonly used for fragment fixation during periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) at our institutions. Titanium is reserved for patients with documented nickel allergies. Titanium screws possess a significantly lower Young's modulus than stainless steel and, therefore, potentially less resistance to physiologic loading. Thus, we hypothesized that the use of titanium screws might be associated with changes in acetabular correction prior to healing. The aim of this study was to compare the maintenance of acetabular correction following PAO using stainless-steel or titanium screws. A documented nickel allergy was confirmed with an allergy specialist. Patients' age at surgery, gender and BMI were collected. The lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (LCEA), medial center-edge angle (MCEA), anterior wall index (AWI), posterior wall index (PWI) and Tönnis angle were measured. The delta value for radiographic parameters was calculated as the difference between values immediately post-operation and at 6 months post-operation. Only age at surgery (P < 0.001) and the pre-operative LCEA (P = 0.013) were significantly different between groups (Tables I and II). The remaining pre- and post-operative radiological measurements were similar (Table II). Comparison of delta values at 6 months follow-up indicated no significant differences between screw types (Table III). No patients in the titanium group had a trans-iliac retrograde screw included in their construct (P = 0.003). All patients healed from their osteotomies. The use of titanium screws in patients with an allergy to nickel was not associated with differences in acetabular correction or the rate of osseous union rates despite its lower inherent mechanical properties.

Abstract
Compared with hip and knee arthroplasty, total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) has a higher complication rate and lower survivorship. Modern TEA implants most commonly require revision due to implant loosening, infection, and periprosthetic fracture. Concerns with revision TEA include handling of the soft tissues and possible necessity of flap coverage, triceps management, preservation of bone stock, and management of concurrent infection or fracture. In this review, we will discuss preoperative evaluation of the failed elbow arthroplasty, surgical approaches, techniques for revision, outcomes, and complications following revision total elbow arthroplasty.

Do trabecular metal cups achieve better results when compared to hemispherical porous titanium cups in acetabular revision surgery? Hip Int 2021; 31:774-781.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trabecular metal (TM) cups were introduced in order to achieve better ingrowth and stability of the cup in acetabular revision surgery. As their use has evolved over time, we have queried whether TM cups would improve results in terms of the rate of aseptic loosening when compared to historical uncemented porous titanium cups used in revision surgery for acetabular bone loss in Hospital La Paz (Madrid, Spain). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 197 acetabular revisions performed between 1991 and 2015. Titanium cups were used in 81 cases and TM cups in 116. The mean follow-up was 8.1 years (range 1-15); 12.0 ± 7.8 for titanium group and 5.4 ± 3.1 for TM group. The most common reason for revision was aseptic loosening. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the survival of the cup, with radiological failure and re-revision due to aseptic loosening as the endpoints. Cox multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess different risk factors for failure. RESULTS 1 TM cup and 1 titanium cup were re-revised due to aseptic loosening (p = 0.61). Radiological cup loosening was observed in 4 TM cups and 2 titanium cups (p = 1.0). At 6 years, the probability of not having radiological cup loosening was 97.4% (95% CI, 93.9-100) for the titanium cups and 95.1% for the TM cups (95% CI, 90.1-99.9) (p = 0.59). Another 5 cups were re-revised due to dislocation. Hips with a greater Paprosky defect showed a higher risk of loosening (p < 0.05, hazard risk (HR) 3.04; 95% CI, 0.97-9.54). CONCLUSIONS This study shows there was no significant difference in re-revision due to aseptic loosening or radiological loosening between titanium and TM cups in revision surgery for acetabular bone loss. Both types of cups demonstrate excellent results with a low failure rate and minimal complications.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1737-1749. [PMID: 32070658 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.01.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of papers have been published reporting on the clinical performance of highly porous coated titanium acetabular cups in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date. METHODS The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), Embase, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications utilizing the following keywords: "tritanium" OR "highly-porous" AND "titanium" OR "acetabular" AND "trabecular" AND "titanium". RESULTS Overall, 16 studies were included in this review (11,366 cases; 60% females, 2-7 years mean follow-up). The overall survival rate of highly porous titanium acetabular components in primary cases was 99.3% (10,811 of 10,886 cases), whereas the rate of aseptic loosening was 0.1%. The overall survival rate of the highly porous titanium acetabular components in revision THA cases was 93.5% (449 of 480 cases), whereas the rate of aseptic loosening was 2.1%. CONCLUSION There was moderate quality evidence to show that the use of highly porous titanium acetabular components in primary and revision THA cases is associated with satisfactory clinical outcomes in the short- and medium-term, without showing any evidence of cup migration or radiolucency. Taking into consideration that there is no evidence yet regarding the long-term survivorship of these components, we feel that further research of higher quality is required to generate more evidence-based conclusions regarding the longevity of highly porous titanium acetabular implants compared with conventional titanium counterparts.

The augment-and-modular-cage revision system for reconstruction of severe acetabular defects-two-year clinical and radiographic results. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2018; 43:2269-2278.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acetabular revision of failed total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often associated with severe bone loss. Therefore, a variety of revision implant systems has been developed during recent years, with the augment-and-modular-cage system being one of the newest additions to this portfolio. Together with biologic downsizing by means of impaction bone grafting, this uncemented system promises a high modularity and versatility to treat all acetabular defects up to Paprosky types IIIa and IIIb without pelvic discontinuity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate first short-term results of its clinical application, both clinical functional and patient-reported as well as radiographic. METHODS Forty-four patients (28 female, 16 male, mean age 70.9 ± 11.5 years) could be followed for a mean of 26 ± 10 months after acetabular revision with a novel augment-and-modular-cage system. Indications for revision included aseptic loosening (68%), septic loosening (16%), or others (16%) with bone loss Paprosky IIa up to IIIb without discontinuity. The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) served as a primary outcome parameter. In addition, a number of patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) were collected including the Short Form 36 (SF-36), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), and Visual Analogue Scale for Hip Pain (VAS Hip) as well as overall satisfaction. Radiographic changes between the pre- and postoperative center of rotation (COR) and various criteria of implant failure served as secondary outcome parameters. RESULTS No patients were lost to follow-up. Two implant-associated complications (partial flange breakage) without a need for revision surgery were detected, which represent a failure rate of 4.5%. Functional outcome as measured by mHHS increased from 49.4 ± 2.9 pre-operatively to 74.4 ± 3.1 at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). PROMs showed significant improvements in all pain-related categories, while other quality-of-life measurements only exhibited positive tendencies towards improvement. VAS Hip significantly improved from 6.5 ± 0.7 pre-operatively to 2.2 ± 0.6 at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). Radiographic evaluation showed that reconstruction of the COR was possible, referenced to the contralateral side. The COR could be lateralized by 5.0 mm (n.s.) and caudalized by 10.3 mm (p < 0.001) comparing pre-operative and post-operative states, with complete osseointegration in 95% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with the augment-and-modular-cage system significantly improved clinical functional and patient-reported outcomes in cases of acetabular revision after failed THA. In addition, a good reconstruction of the COR could also be achieved. Therefore, this highly modular system can be considered as an effective treatment option in almost all cases of acetabular bone loss except for those of pelvic discontinuity. It offers the unique possibility of intra-operative implant customization according to the existing bone defect and host bone quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Porous tantalum acetabular components (PoTa) are well-studied, but less is known about widely used porous titanium (PoTi) acetabular components. We performed a comparative survival analysis between PoTi and PoTa acetabular components. METHODS Primary or revision THA performed using PoTi (n = 2,976) or PoTa (n = 184) acetabular components with minimum 2-year follow-up (PoTi n = 1,539; PoTa n = 157) were analysed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to test the effect of porous metal acetabular component type on revision surgery for aseptic cup loosening. Multivariate model was adjusted for acetabular defect severity according to the Paprosky Classification. RESULTS Only PoTi components used in revision THA failed. Survival of the PoTi acetabular component was 98.6% when used in revision THA at mean 48.3-month follow-up. After adjusting for severity of acetabular defect, there was no difference in survival between PoTi and PoTa acetabular components when used in primary or revision THA. CONCLUSIONS After adjusting for acetabular defect severity, both PoTa and PoTi acetabular components had excellent survival at mean 44.4-month (range 4.3-91.5 months) follow-up when used in primary and revision THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We are reporting on the minimum 5-year outcomes of patients who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a specific highly-porous titanium shell. We assessed (1) aseptic and all-cause survivorship; (2) functional outcomes; (3) complications; and (4) radiographic outcomes. METHODS Two hospital databases were evaluated for patients who underwent revision THA due to component instability or aseptic loosening using a cementless highly-porous titanium shell between September 2006 and December 2011. This yielded 35 patients who had a mean age of 61 years (range 14-88 years). Patients had a mean follow-up of 6 years (minimum 5 years). All-cause and aseptic survivorship of the shell was calculated. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score. We determined the incidence of postoperative complications and performed radiographic evaluation of pelvic radiographs from regular office visits. RESULT The aseptic survivorship of the acetabular component was 97% (95% confidence interval; 8.1-9.5). The all-cause survivorship of the acetabular component was 91% (95% confidence interval; 7.3-8.1). One patient had an aseptic failure and 2 patients had septic failures. The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score was 76 points (range, 61-91 points). Excluding the aseptic and septic failures, there was no osteolysis or progressive radiolucencies present on radiographic evaluation at final follow-up. CONCLUSION At a minimum of 5-year follow-up, the highly-porous titanium acetabular revision shell has excellent survivorship and functional outcomes. Although long-term follow-up is needed to further monitor these implants, the results are promising and demonstrate that this prosthesis may be an excellent option for patients undergoing revision THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inadequate acetabular bone stock is a major issue in total hip arthroplasty, and several treatment options are available. Stemmed cups have been used in this scenario with variable results. A novel modular polyaxial uncemented iliac screw cup (HERM-BS-Sansone cup-Citieffe s.r.l., Calderara di Reno, Bologna, Italy) has been recently introduced to overcome the drawbacks of stemmed cups. In this retrospective study, we report the results of this cup in patients with large acetabular bone defects at 2- to 7-year follow-up. METHODS We evaluated a consecutive series of 121 hips (118 revisions and 3 complex primary arthroplasties) treated with this novel cup at a mean follow-up of 46 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed with implant revision for any reason as a primary end point. Further survival analysis was performed excluding septic failures. Clinical outcome was assessed with the Harris Hip Score. RESULTS There had been 7 reoperations: 1 for aseptic loosening, 5 for deep infection, and 1 for recurrent dislocation. In 5 cases, the cup was removed; estimated survival rate at 5-year follow-up with implant removal for any reason was 95.6% (95% confidence interval = 91-99), and 98.3% (95% CI = 96-100) excluding those failed for infection. Mean Harris Hip Score at latest follow-up was 77 points (range, 44-95; standard deviation = 11.9). CONCLUSION The present findings show the short-term efficacy of the iliac screw cup with respect to implant survival. A longer follow-up and a larger number of patients are necessary to confirm the encouraging preliminary results.
