Acta Orthop 2023; 94:626-634. [PMID: 38157007 PMCID: PMC10757199 DOI: 10.2340/17453674.2023.24580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RSA studies to investigate the early and long-term migration patterns of acetabular cups and the influence of implant factors on cup migration over time. METHODS We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases to identify all RSA studies of cup migration following primary total hip replacement (THR). Proximal migration at 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, 5, and 10 years were considered for analysis. Implant factors investigated included fixation type, head size, bearing surface, uncemented coating design, and the decade of RSA introduction. RESULTS 47 studies reported the proximal migration of 83 cohorts (2,328 cups). Besides 1 threaded cup design, no implant factor investigated was found to significantly influence proximal migration. The mean pooled 2-year proximal migration of cemented cups (0.14 mm, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.08-0.20) was not significantly different from uncemented cups (0.12 mm, CI 0.04-0.19). The mean pooled proximal migration at 6 months was 0.11 mm (CI 0.06-0.16) and there was no significant increase between 6 months and 2 years (0.015 mm, CI 0.000-0.030). 27 of 75 cohorts (36%) reported mean proximal migration greater than 0.2 mm at 2 years, which has previously been identified as a predictor of implants at risk of long-term loosening. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis demonstrated that the majority of cup migration occurs within the first 6 months. With one exception, no implant factors influenced the 2-year proximal migration of acetabular cups. 36% of studies with 2-year migration were considered at risk of long-term loosening. Further investigation and comparison against long-term survivorship data would validate 6-month and/or 1-year proximal migration measurements as an earlier predictor of long-term loosening than the current 2-year threshold.

The anatomical location of cystic pseudotumors and muscle atrophy in metal-on-metal resurfacing hip arthroplasty is related to the surgical approach used for implantation. A subgroup analyses of a randomized controlled trial. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:5967-5976. [PMID: 36802238 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-023-04788-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudotumors and muscle atrophy have been associated with metal-on-metal (MoM) resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA). We aimed to investigate the influence of the anterolateral (AntLat) and the posterior (Post) surgical approach on the location, grade and prevalence of pseudotumors and muscle atrophy in MoM RHA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-nine patients were randomized to MoM RHA by the AntLat (n = 25) or the Post (n = 24) approach at Aarhus University Hospital. Patients underwent metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for investigation of location, grade and prevalence of pseudotumors and muscle atrophy. Plain radiographs, metal-ions concentrations and clinical outcome scores were evaluated to compare outcomes of the surgical approaches. RESULTS MRI-detected pseudotumors were seen in 7 of 18 patients (39%) in the AntLat group and in 12 of 22 patients (55%) in the Post group (p = 0.33). Pseudotumors were mainly located anterolaterally to the hip joint in the AntLat group and postero-lateral to the hip joint in the Post group. Higher grades of muscle atrophy of the caudal part of the gluteus medius and minimus (p < 0.004) were seen in the AntLat group, and higher grades of muscle atrophy of the small external rotators were seen in the Post group (p < 0.001). The AntLat group had higher anteversion angles of mean 15.3° (range 6.1-7.5) versus mean 11.5° (range 4.9-22.5) in the Post group (p = 0.02). Metal-ion concentrations and clinical outcome scores were similar between groups (p > 0.08). CONCLUSION Muscle atrophy and pseudotumor location after MoM RHA follow the surgical approach used for implantation. This knowledge may help differentiate between "normal postoperative appearance" and "MoM disease."

Higher early proximal migration of hemispherical cups with electrochemically applied hydroxyapatite (BoneMaster) on a porous surface compared with porous surface alone: a randomized RSA study with 53 patients. Acta Orthop 2019; 91:26-32. [PMID: 31698977 PMCID: PMC7008237 DOI: 10.1080/17453674.2019.1687860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and purpose - BoneMaster (BM) is an electrochemically deposited hydroxyapatite (HA) implant-coating, which is evenly distributed, thin, and quickly resorbed. It is designed to stimulate osseointegration and early implant stability and alleviate longer-term HA-induced third-body polyethylene wear. This study evaluates early cup migration and functional outcomes of cementless porous-coated hemispherical cups with or without BM.Patients and methods - In a patient-blinded, randomized, controlled trial 53 patients at mean 64 years (55-75) with coxarthritis were operated with an Exceed cup (Zimmer Biomet) and Bi-Metric stem (Zimmer Biomet) with porous and BM coating (PBM) or with porous coating alone (P). Follow-ups were performed postoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Effect measures were cup migration measured with RSA and PROMs.Results - At 6-month follow-up, proximal cup migration in the PBM group (0.09 mm, 95% CI 0.02-0.20) was higher than in the P group (0.25 mm, CI 0.15-0.35). At 1- and 2-year follow-up, cup migration in all 6 degrees of freedom was similar between groups (p > 0.2). From before surgery to 2-year follow-up, Oxford Hip Score (OHS) increased by 17 points (CI 14-20). Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) increased in all sub-scores, but was more pronounced for PBM cups compared with P cups in the Symptoms sub-score (p = 0.04).Interpretation - Contrary to expectations, PBM cups had higher early migration than P cups. At 2-year follow-up, migration was similar between groups. There seems to be no early benefit of BM coating on acetabular cups.

The correlation between activity level, serum-ion concentrations and pseudotumours in patients with metal-on-metal hip articulations and metal-on-polyethylene total hip articulations. J Orthop Translat 2018; 18:74-83. [PMID: 31508310 PMCID: PMC6718878 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2018.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2018] [Revised: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 11/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Young and physically active patients have mainly received metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA). However, the correlation between daily physical activity (PA) levels, serum-ion concentrations of chromium and cobalt and pseudotumours formation of patients who underwent MoM THA/RHA is insufficiently explored. Methods Ninety-nine patients with 134 hip articulations, 71 MoM THA/RHA and 63 MoP THA participated in a cross-sectional study at XXX University Hospital, Denmark, at mean 7.3 (range: 0.4–21.7) years after surgery. Patients' daily PA was monitored during a two-week period using a triaxial accelerometer. Metal artefact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging scans, estimation of serum-ion concentrations of chromium and cobalt and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) questionnaire were completed on Day 14. Results Patients with a pseudotumour who underwent MoM THA/RHA had a higher average cadence of median 101.4 [interquartile range (IQR: 95.5–105)] steps/min than patients without a pseudotumor, median 96.7 (IQR: 92.2–103) steps/min (p = 0.02). Serum-ion concentrations of chromium and cobalt were higher in patients with a pseudotumour who underwent MoM THA/RHA, median 2.57 (IQR: 1.4–3.4) μg/L and 1.80 (IQR: 1.2–2.6) μg/L, respectively, than in patients without a pseudotumour, median 1.85 (IQR: 1.1–3.2) μg/L and 1.34 (IQR: 0.9–2.2) μg/L in MoM THA/RHA (p = 0.04 and p = 0.03). There was no statistical difference in these parameters between patients with and without a pseudotumour who underwent MoP THA. Daily PA levels of patients who underwent MoM THA/RHA were significantly correlated with serum-ion concentrations of chromium (p = 0.0002, r = 0.44) and cobalt (p = 0.005, r = 0.34), whereas no correlations were seen among patients who underwent MoP THA (p > 0.12). Conclusion The daily PA level of patients who underwent MoM THA/RHA influences the serum-ion concentrations of chromium and cobalt and the risk of pseudotumour formation. Translational potential of this article Results of this article add important knowledge on potential recommendations of prosthesis selection for patients with a high level of physical activity.

Physical Activity Is Associated With the Level of Chromium but Not With Changes in Pseudotumor Size in Patients With Metal-on-Metal Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:2932-2939. [PMID: 29807790 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.04.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2018] [Revised: 04/17/2018] [Accepted: 04/23/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) were previously considered an excellent option for young and physically active patients. However, the relationship between MoM THA/RHA patients' daily physical activity (PA), metal ion measurements of chromium and cobalt, and pseudotumor dynamic is insufficiently explored. METHODS One hundred eleven patients with 148 hip articulations, 77 MoM THA/RHA and 71 MoP THA, participated in a prospective cohort study, with 5 cross-sectional analyses during a 1-year follow-up. Baseline follow-up was at mean 7.1 (range: 0.2-21.5) years postoperative. At baseline and every 3 months thereafter, patients' daily PA was monitored during a 2-week period using a triaxial accelerometer, and next metal artifact reducing sequence magnetic resonance imaging scans, metal ion measurements of chromium and cobalt, and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score questionnaire were completed. RESULTS We found a statistically significant relationship between daily PA and metal ion measurements of chromium at all follow-ups in MoM THA/RHA patients (P ≤ .03) but not in MoP THA patients (P > .35). Patients' daily PA was not related to changes in pseudotumor size at any follow-up (P > .30). Ten of 26 (38%) pseudotumors in MoM THA/RHA and 8 of 29 (28%) pseudotumors in MoP THA changed classification according to the Anderson grading. No pseudotumors transformed in appearance or changed anatomical location. CONCLUSION The daily PA of MoM THA/RHA patients is associated with metal ion measurements of chromium but not with changes in pseudotumor size. This is new and important knowledge, which may be useful for hip surgeons in recommendation and monitoration of the consequences of PA in active patients with MoM THA/RHA.

Higher Prevalence of Mixed or Solid Pseudotumors in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty Compared With Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty and Resurfacing Hip Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2018. [PMID: 29526334 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudotumors are a common finding in metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA). However, information on pseudotumors in metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA is limited. METHODS One hundred eleven patients with 148 hip articulations-30 MoM THA, 47 MoM RHA, and 71 MoP THA-participated in a cross-sectional study at mean 7.1 (range: 0.2-21.5) years postoperatively. Patients were evaluated with metal artifact reducing sequence magnetic resonance imaging, measurements of metal ions, clinical scores of Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score, and conventional radiographs. RESULTS Pseudotumors were present in 13 of 30 (43%) MoM THA, 13 of 47 (28%) MoM RHA, and 29 of 71 (41%) MoP THA patients, which was a similar prevalence (P = .10). The prevalence of mixed or solid pseudotumors was significantly higher in patients with MoP THA (n = 10) compared to MoM THA (n = 3) and MoM THA (n = 0), (P = .01). Hips with a mixed or solid pseudotumor had significantly poorer scores of Harris Hip Score (P = .01) and OHS (P = .002) and higher metal ion levels of cobalt (P = .0009) compared to hips without a pseudotumor or with a cystic pseudotumor. CONCLUSION Pseudotumors have primarily been associated with MoM hip articulations, but we found a similar pseudotumor prevalence in MoP THA, which is the most common bearing worldwide. Mixed or solid pseudotumors were more often seen in MoP THA compared with MoM hip articulations, and patients with a mixed or solid pseudotumor had poorer clinical scores and higher metal ion levels than patients without a pseudotumor or with a cystic pseudotumor.
