Abstract
BACKGROUND Nickel-Titanium shape-memory sawtooth-arm embracing clamps (SSECs) have been used in revision total hip arthroplasties (rTHAs) to protect stem stability. This study was to introduce this technique and report its mid to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients implanted with SSECs in our department from January 2008 to December 2015. 41 patients (41 hips) were finally included. Radiographs and Harris hip scores (HHS) were collected. Radiographs were blindly analyzed for evidence of loosening, subsidence and stress shielding. HHS were compared to previous records by student's t tests. The average follow-up period was 9.3 years. RESULTS All stems were stably fixed with no signs of loosening. The mean stem subsidence was 0.9 mm (range, 0 to 3 mm). Only one patient (2.4%) demonstrated the fourth degree of stress shielding, with the others none or minor bone resorption. The mean HHS at the final follow-up was 84.2 (range, 81 to 91), which was improved from 17.4 (range, 0 to 37) before surgery. No implant failures or re-revisions occurred. Dislocation occurred in 1 case during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS The SSEC protected stem fixation and achieved favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes in this 9-year follow-up study. It offered an additional extramedullary fixation option for surgeons to choose from in treating complex femoral revision arthroplasties.

[PMID: 37662666 PMCID: PMC10473907 DOI: 10.5312/wjo.v14.i8.630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The popularity of uncemented stems in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased in the last decade. AIM To assess the outcomes of both cemented and uncemented stems after mid-term follow up. METHODS This study was performed following both the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Statement and the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. Articles were chosen irrespective of country of origin or language utilized for the article full texts. This paper included studies that reviewed revision THA for both cemented or uncemented long stems. RESULTS Three eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis. Analysis was conducted by using Review Manager version 5.3. We computed the risk ratio as a measure of the treatment effect, taking into account heterogeneity. We used random-effect models. There were no significant differences found for intraoperative periprosthetic fractures [risk ratio (RR) = 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.29-5.32; P = 0.76], aseptic loosening (RR = 2.15, 95%CI: 0.81-5.70; P = 0.13), dislocation rate (RR = 0.50; 95%CI: 0.10-2.47; P = 0.39), or infection rate (RR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.82-1.19; P = 0.89), between the uncemented and the cemented long stems for revision THA after mid-term follow-up. CONCLUSION This study has evaluated the mid-term outcomes of both cemented and uncemented stems at first-time revision THA. In summary, there were no significant differences in the dislocation rate, aseptic loosening, intraoperative periprosthetic fracture and infection rate between the two cohorts.

Revision Hip Arthroplasty Using a Modular, Cementless Femoral Stem: Long-Term Follow-Up. J Arthroplasty 2022; 38:903-908. [PMID: 36535440 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.12.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As the number of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases increase, so does the demand for revision operations. However, long-term follow-up data for revision THA is lacking. METHODS A retrospective review was completed of patients who underwent revision THA at a single institution between January 2002 and October 2007 using a cementless modular stem. Patient demographic, clinical, and radiographic data was collected. Preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores were compared at a minimum of fourteen-year follow-up. RESULTS Eighty-four patients (89 hips) with a median age of 69 years (range, 28 to 88) at operation were included. Indications for revision included aseptic loosening (84.2%), infection (12.4%), and periprosthetic fracture (3.4%). Twenty-two hips sustained at least 1 complication: intraoperative fracture (7.9%), dislocation (6.7%), prosthetic joint infection (4.5%), deep venous thrombosis (3.4%), and late periprosthetic fracture (2.2%). There were no modular junction complications. Eight patients underwent reoperations; only three involved the stem. Thirty-eight patients (45%) were deceased prior to final follow-up without known reoperations. Twenty-seven patients (32%) were lost to follow-up. Twenty-one patients (23%) were alive at minimum fourteen-year follow-up. Complete patient-reported outcomes were available for nineteen patients (range, 14 to 18.5 years of follow-up). Significant improvement was seen in UCLA activity, VR-12 physical, hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score , joint replacement., and Harris Hip score pain and function scores. CONCLUSION Challenges of long-term follow-up include patient migration, an unwillingness to travel for re-examination, medical comorbidities, advanced age, and death. The cementless modular revision stem demonstrated long-term clinical success and remains a safe and reliable option for complex revision operations.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:938337. [PMID: 35813996 PMCID: PMC9263260 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.938337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The loosening of traditional prosthetics is among the leading causes of surgical failure of proximal femoral bone defects. A novel compound sleeve and stem prosthesis was designed using an optimization methodology that combined an octet-truss porous structure with density-based topology optimization to improve stability, promote bone ingrowth, and enhance biomechanical properties. Biomechanical changes were assessed using finite element analysis. The distribution of stress, the strain energy density, and the relative micromotion in the optimized group were considered. The optimized sleeve prosthesis achieved a 31.5% weight reduction. The maximum stresses in the optimized group were observed to decrease by 30.33 and 4.74% at the back sleeve and neck part of stem prosthesis, with a 29.52% increase in the femur, respectively. The average stress in most selected regions in the optimized group was significantly greater than that in the original group (p < 0.05). The maximum relative micromotion decreased by 15.18% (from 63.9 to 54.2 μm) in the optimized group. The novel designed compound sleeve and stem prosthesis could effectively improve the biomechanical performance of next-generation prosthetics and provide a microenvironment for bone ingrowth. The presented method could serve as a model for clinical practice and a platform for future orthopedic surgery applications.

Orthop Res Rev 2022; 14:25-33. [PMID: 35210872 PMCID: PMC8857999 DOI: 10.2147/orr.s346891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Revision total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) for loosening the femoral stem is a technical challenge. Distally fixed, full-porous-coated long stems are widely accepted as the standard selection for these revisions. However, the success of primary stems in RTHA is not well known. Methods This study enrolled 24 patients with aseptic loosening of the femoral stem who underwent RTHA using primary stems. Another 72 patients with aseptic loosening who underwent RTHA using full-porous-coated long stems were matched in terms of operation date, proximal femoral bone stock (Paprosky classification), sex, and age. The primary and secondary outcomes of failure were the need for revision for any reason and the radiographic change in the stem respectively. Results In the primary stem group, one patient had a periprosthetic fracture and received a second RTHA 2 years after the previous one. The primary outcome’s 5-and 10-year survival rates were both 95.8%. For the matched comparison group, one patient had an immediate periprosthetic fracture of the femoral shaft requiring further open reduction internal fixation surgery. Another patient had a full-porous-coated long stem breakage 6 years postoperatively, which required a second RTHA. The primary outcome’s 5-and 10-year survival rates were 98.6% and 97.2%, respectively. Conclusion Primary stems can achieve non-inferior clinical success compared to a full-porous-coated long stem for aseptic stem loosening RTHA in patients with adequate proximal femoral bone stock.

A Comparison of Risks and Benefits Regarding Hip Arthroplasty Fixation. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS GLOBAL RESEARCH AND REVIEWS 2021; 5:01979360-202111000-00001.

Abstract
Since the field-changing invention of noncemented hip arthroplasty fixation in the 1980s, noncemented fixation has been progressively replacing cemented fixation. However, analyses of fixation frequencies reveal new patterns in cement versus noncemented preferences. Although cementation is again gaining ground in the United States, noncemented models remain the dominant fixation mode, seen in more than 90% of all hip arthroplasties. This stark preference is likely driven by concerns regarding implant durability and patient safety. Although advances in surgical techniques, intensive perioperative care, and improved instrument have evolved in both methods, data from large arthroplasty registries reveal shifting risks in contemporary hip arthroplasty, calling the use of noncemented fixation into question. Varying risk profiles regarding sex, age, or health comorbidities and morphological and functional differences necessitate personalized risk assessments. Furthermore, certain patient populations, based on the literature and data from large registries, have superior outcomes from cemented hip arthroplasty techniques. Therefore, we wanted to critically evaluate the method of arthroplasty fixation in primary hip arthroplasties for unique patient populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The fully porous long stem could be used for diaphyseal locking and achieve bypass fixation in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study evaluated long-term results for fully porous long stems made of titanium alloy in revision THA. METHODS Between 2003 and 2010, 45 consecutive femoral revisions were performed using fully porous long stems. Thirty-eight hips had complete clinical and radiographic data for a mean of 13.8 years (range, 10-16.7 years). Femoral bone loss was Paprosky type II in 14 hips, type IIIA in 18 hips, and type IIIB in six hips. Clinical results were analyzed using the Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system. Femoral stress shielding was graded. Radiological loosening of the femoral component was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed with revision for any reason as the end-point. RESULTS Mean Merle d'Aubigné and Postel score improved significantly from 10.7 before revision to 14.5 at latest follow-up (p < 0.001). Third-degree stress shielding was found in seven hips, and fourth degree in 11 hips. Radiological femoral loosening occurred in one hip, which was revised. Another hip was revised for stem fracture. Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival rate was 94.7% at both ten and 15 years. CONCLUSION Although stress shielding is a concern with fully porous stems, this stem was useful in revision THA and provided satisfactory long-term results in hips with Paprosky types II, IIIA, and IIIB.

ACTA BIO-MEDICA : ATENEI PARMENSIS 2020; 91:e2020031. [PMID: 33559624 PMCID: PMC7944693 DOI: 10.23750/abm.v91i14-s.11112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Background Total elbow arthroplasty is an accepted procedure for the treatment of acute comminuted distal humeral fractures in elderly. Few long-term outcomes are available. The purpose of this study was to examine long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of prosthesis performed (January 2002-June 2015) for complex intra- fractures of the distal humerus (AO/C) in patients older than 65 years with low functional demands. Materials and Methods Further inclusion criteria were: the availability of a clinical and radiological follow-up of minimum 5 years and pattern of closed fracture. Demographic data and characteristics of patients were collected. All patients were clinically and radiographically assessed after 2 and 5 years from surgery. Results Twelve patients were included with complete available data. The mean follow-up was 7.6 years. Five patients reported a worsening of the elbow functionality through the follow-ups. Five subjects had complications. There were no cases of revision surgery. The quality of fixation showed a progressive worsening with increase of radiolucency both on humeral and ulnar side. The recorded MEPS showed no correlation with the grade of periprosthetic osteolysis. Polyethylene bushing wear was scored of grade 2 in one subject who had showed type 4 Morrey radiolucency. Discussion and Conclusions Total elbow arthroplasty is an effective and reliable procedure for comminuted fractures of the distal humerus in elderly, although the incidence of complications can not be considered as negligible. For the majority of these patients, a well-performed implant will give them a well-functioning elbow for their remaining life.
