Long-term survival of hybrid total hip replacement for prior failed proximal femoral nail antirotation: a retrospective study with a median 10-year follow-up. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:868. [PMID: 36114570 PMCID: PMC9482191 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05827-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Hybrid total hip replacement (THR) is commonly used in the management of proximal femur fractures in elderly individuals. However, in the context of the revision, the literature on hybrid THR is limited, and differences in the long-term survival outcomes reported in the literature are obvious. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival of hybrid THR for failed proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in elderly individuals aged ≥ 75 years. Methods An observational cohort of 227 consecutive individuals aged ≥ 75 years who experienced hybrid THRs following prior primary PFNAs was retrospectively identified from the Joint Surgery Centre, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. Implant survival was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. The primary end point was the implant survivorship calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method with revision for any reason as the end point; secondary end points were the function score measured using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and the incidence of main orthopaedic complications. Results In total, 118 individuals (118 THRs) were assessed as available. The median follow-up was 10 (3–11) years. The 10-year survivorship with revision for any reason as the endpoint was 0.914 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.843–0.960). The most common indication for revision was aseptic loosening (70.0%), followed by periprosthetic fracture (30.0%). At the final follow-up, the median functional score was 83.6 (79.0–94.0). Among the 118 patients included in this study, 16 experienced 26 implant-related complications. The overall incidence of key orthopaedic complications was 13.5% (16/118). Conclusion For patients aged ≥ 75 years old with prior failed PFNAs, hybrid THR may yield satisfactory long-term survival, with good functional outcomes and a low rate of key orthopaedic complications.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the epidemiologic characteristics of patients who underwent hip arthroplasty using the Korean nationwide database and investigate the recent trends in implant fixation methods and bearing surface selection. We aimed to compare clinical characteristics and differences with the results from the registry of other western countries. We analyzed the data collected by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database of Korea from 2007 to 2011 and the Main Surgery Statistical Yearbook from 2014 to 2018, published by the National Health Insurance Service. The number and rate of patients who underwent hip joint arthroplasty per 10,000 persons have been steadily increasing since 2007. There was a big difference in mean age and preoperative diagnosis of patients between the bipolar hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty groups. Most patients underwent surgery using a cementless biological fixation method, and the cemented fixation method was selectively used for a small portion of old aged osteoporotic patients. In relation to the use of bearing surfaces, the registry data showed that ceramic-ceramic bearings were used at an overwhelmingly high rate (81%) in Korea compared to other countries. The reason was attributable to various factors, such as patient’s age or economic status, differences in the health insurance system between countries, and recently reported complications, such as ceramic fracture or noise.

Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed for Coxarthrosis Preserves Long-Term Physical Function: A 40-Year Experience. HSS J 2019; 15:122-132.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measures of long-term success of total hip arthroplasty (THA) over the past 50 years have focused primarily on implant survival, with less evidence on long-term functional outcomes. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We aimed to study 20-to-40-year functional outcomes after primary THA. We investigated the extent to which (1) functional outcomes after THA are maintained long term; (2) patient characteristics such as age, hip disease diagnosis, and comorbidities affect recovery of function and survivorship after THA; and (3) patients' overall function after THA is affected by the need for revision, the aging process, and associated comorbidities. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed outcomes of the senior author's patients between 1968 and 1993. Of 1207 patients, we identified 167 patients (99 female, 68 male; 276 primary THAs) who were at least 65 years old at follow-up and had at least 20 years of follow-up. Mean age at surgery was 55 years; mean follow-up time was 27 years. Bilateral THAs were performed in 109 patients (65%), and revisions in 81 patients (48.5%). Clinical outcomes including pain level, walking ability, range of motion, and overall function were determined by the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) hip scoring system. Contralateral and revision surgery, as well as patient age, sex, and body mass index, were included as covariates. To account for unequally spaced follow-up time points and competing causes of functional decline (e.g., age, contralateral hip disease, and need for revision THA), a latent class mixed model approach was used to identify unobserved classes of patients who had similar outcomes. Linear, quadratic, and piecewise-polynomial growth models were considered for class identification. The best fitting model was determined based on Bayesian information criterion. RESULTS A four-class model of this patient population was identified: (1) the Elderly Class, who had a mean age of 62 years at the time of primary THA; (2) the Bilateral Class, who underwent simultaneous or staged bilateral THA; (3) the Revision Class, who required at least one revision; and (4) the Youngest Class, who had a mean age of 49 years. After an initial period of improvement in all groups, the functional trajectory diverged according to classifications. Age was the strongest determinant of long-term outcome, with HSS hip scores in the Elderly Class declining after about 20 years. The Youngest Class maintained good-to-excellent hip function for over 30 years. Revision THA and contralateral THA accounted for a temporary decline in function, after which overall good function was regained for the long term. CONCLUSIONS All classes in the study population enjoyed good-to-excellent outcomes after THA for about 20 years. Thereafter, functional decline was attributed more to aging than to the need for revision. One or more revision THA did not negatively influence long-term clinical outcomes, suggesting that, even for younger patients, symptoms, rather than the avoidance of possible revision, should be the primary determining factor when indicating THA.

Abstract
Modern primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is among the most successful operations in medicine. It has been a consistently effective treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis of the hip. With the increasing number of primary THA procedures being performed and the decreasing age of patients undergoing the procedure, there is an inevitable associated increase in revision burden for arthroplasty surgeons. Revision THA is most often indicated for instability, aseptic loosening, osteolysis, infection, periprosthetic fracture, component malposition, and catastrophic implant failure. Understanding the etiology of THA failure is essential for guiding clinical decision making. Femoral component revision presents a complex challenge to the arthroplasty surgeon because of modern implant design as well as bone loss in the proximal femur. Thorough patient evaluation, defect classification, and well-executed surgical reconstruction based on comprehensive preoperative planning may determine the postoperative results. Knowledge of various reconstructive options and the indications for each is necessary to achieve a successful outcome. This article highlights the most common indications for revision after THA and offers recommendations for how to approach revision of the femoral component. Specifically, the authors review preoperative assessment, common classification systems for femoral deficiency, techniques for component extraction, and modalities of femoral component fixation.

Abstract
Obese patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty have been shown to have less functional recovery. This study prospectively compared temporal trends in patient-reported outcomes and activity levels between patients with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30, 30 to 35, and 35 to 40 kg/m(2) after total hip arthroplasty. Patients were evaluated via the Harris Hip Score, Lower Extremity Activity Scale, and Short Form-12 physical and mental components. The results suggest that patients with BMIs of 35 to 40 kg/m(2) might have poorer functional outcomes preoperatively, with function returning more slowly or poor function being sustained and their not reaching other cohorts' levels. Surgeons must counsel these patients regarding functional expectations and the potential for slower functional returns. [Orthopedics. 2016; 39(3):e572-e577.].

Abstract
Femoral bone loss is a complex problem in revision total hip arthroplasty. The Paprosky classification is used when determining the degree and location of bone loss. Meticulous operative planning is essential where severe bone loss is a concern. One must correctly identify the bone loss pattern, safely remove the existing components, and proceed with the proper reconstruction technique based on the pattern of bone loss. This article discusses the etiology and classification of bone loss, clinical and radiographic evaluation, components of effective preoperative planning, and clinical results of various treatment options with a focus on more severe bone loss patterns.

Abstract
Background Genetic factors plays an important role in early failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA) etiology and MMP-1 gene polymorphism rs5854 may be involved. The present study was conducted to reveal the possible association between MMP-1 rs5854 C/T polymorphism and the risk of early failure of THA (aseptic loosening). Methods The rs5854 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in MMP-1 gene was genotyped in 63 subjects who were diagnosed as aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty within 10 years and in 81 age and gender matched controls. Results The genotype frequencies of the MMP-1 rs5854 C/T polymorphism were 57.1% (CC), 28.6% (CT), and 14.3% (TT) in patients with failure of THA, and 79.0% (CC), 17.3% (CT), and 3.7% (TT) in the controls (P = 0.0099). Rs5854 polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with increased risk of aseptic loosening. Conclusion The results showed the rs5854 SNP was associated with increased risk of the early aseptic loosening susceptibility.

Abstract
This article is a comprehensive review of the published literature on total hip replacement design. It seeks to provide a nonbiased view of the technology related to total hip implants and bearing surfaces. Implant designs and fixation methods are discussed with summaries of their respective long-term outcome studies. Fixation methods include cemented, cementless and hybrid techniques and are explained and presented with current outcome data and their respective failure modes that have promoted new technological development. The current data point toward cementless acetabular fixation as being superior to cemented fixation. As for stem fixation, there are good data to suggest that either method of fixation is acceptable in the proper setting. Also included in this article is a brief review of bearing surfaces and hip biomechanics.

Abstract
Radiostereometry (RSA) of the cemented Scientific Hip Prosthesis (SHP) reported excessive migration and predicted high failure rates. In a prospective randomized clinical trial we compared minimum 10 years results of the SHP (n=38) with the Omnifit-stem (n=37). Two-year bone remodelling, compared with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and assessed in regions of interest A-D based on the 7 Gruen zones, showed better periprosthetic bone preservation around the SHP in all but one regions (P<.05). At 10 years Harris Hip Score was better for the SHP (P=.0001) but Oxford Hip Score was the same (P=.79). There were no revisions in either group, but radiographic loosening was definite in 1 SHP and 1 Omnifit. Based on earlier RSA studies, the rough surface finish of the SHP was expected to cause cement abrasion, osteolysis and inferior survival. However our clinical and remodelling results could not confirm these expectations, suggesting that the link of early migration and mid-term clinical results is not sufficiently clear for the SHP.

Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed 474 patients (492 hips) with a contemporary cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) (mean age, 38.9 years) and 504 patients (532 hips) with a cementless THA (mean age, 39.3 years). Patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. The mean follow-up was similar (14.5 vs 14.8 years) in both groups. The mean postoperative Harris hip scores (93.6 vs 94.7 points), the mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores (12 vs 13 points), and the mean University of California, Los Angeles activity scores (6.9 vs 7.1 points) were similar between the 2 groups. Incidence of acetabular osteolysis (16% vs 20%) and femoral osteolysis (8% vs 9%) was similar between the 2 groups. Survivorship of cup (86% vs 82%) and stem (98% vs 98.5%) was similar between the 2 groups. Periacetabular osteolysis constitutes the major challenge in modern THAs in young patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Techniques of cemented total hip arthroplasty have developed over time. We present the outcomes of Charnley total hip arthroplasty performed using improved second- and third-generation cementing techniques. METHODS We reviewed the radiologic results of 91 Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed using second- and third-generation cementing techniques. Second-generation techniques involved making multiple anchor holes, a double-cementing method on the acetabular side and an intramedullary plug, and retrograde filling with a cement gun on the femoral side in 57 hips. Third-generation techniques involved additional vacuum mixing and cement pressurization in 34 hips. RESULTS Joint survival rates at 20 years when using second-generation techniques were 89% for the socket and 94% for the stem with aseptic loosening as the end point; the survival rates at 10 years when using third-generation techniques were 97 and 100%, respectively. According to our radiographic evaluation system for the clear zone at 5 years, there was less clear zone in the acetabular side with the third-generation techniques than with second-generation techniques. In the femoral side, there was very little development of the clear zone, but the difference between generations was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Second- and third-generation cementing techniques showed excellent survivorship. The clear zone scores at 5 years indicated that third-generation techniques were effective, especially in the acetabular side, and may produce better long-term results than second-generation techniques.

Abstract
Background Even though there are multiple studies documenting the outcome of the Charnley low-friction arthroplasty as well as abundant studies on uncemented arthroplasties, there is a dearth of comparative studies of the uncemented acetabular component and a cemented component. In this study we aimed to document the long-term clinical and radiographic outcome as well as component survival in a randomized controlled trial. Materials and methods Two hundred fifteen patients (240 hips) were randomly allocated to receive a cemented Charnley cup or uncemented Duraloc 1200 cup. All patients received cemented Charnley stems and were evaluated clinically and radiographically after 6 months, and 2, 5, and 10 years. Results Harris Hip Scores improved from 48.3 [95% confidence interval (CI) 45.0–51.6] to 90.2 [95% CI 87.9–92.6] in the Charnley group and from 49.3 [95% CI 86.9–91.3] in the Duraloc group at 6 months. After 10 years, the Charnley group’s Harris Hip Score was 89.8 [95% confidence interval (CI) 87.0–92.6], and the Duraloc group’s score was 87.3 (95% CI 84.1–90.6). In the radiographic analysis after 10 years, there was no statistical difference in the prevalence of radiographic signs of loosening. Nine cups were revised in the Charnley group, and five cups were removed in the Duraloc group. The difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistical difference between the cups when aseptic loosening was the end-point, nor in survival analyses. Conclusions There is no statistically significant difference in clinical or radiological outcome between the Charnley cup and the Duraloc after 10 years, and no difference in implant survival after 12–14 years. The uncemented Duraloc cup is as good as the cemented Charnley cup after 10 years.

Abstract
The aim of this review paper is to define the fixation of the cemented stem. Polymethyl methacrylate, otherwise known as “bone cement”, has been used in the fixation of hip implants since the early 1960s. Sir John Charnley, the pioneer of modern hip replacement, incorporated the use of cement in the development of low frictional torque hip arthroplasty. In this paper, the concepts of femoral stem design and fixation, clinical results, and advances in understanding of the optimal use of cement are reviewed. The purpose of this paper is to help understanding and discussions on the thickness and the porosity of the cement mantle in total hip arthroplasty. Cement does not act as an adhesive, as sometimes thought, but relies on an interlocking fit to provide mechanical stability at the cement–bone interface, while at the prosthesis– cement interface it achieves stability by optimizing the fit of the implant in the cement mantle, such as in a tapered femoral stem.

Abstract
Femoral and acetabular loosening can be attributed different factors, but the causes and mechanism of early failure are still obscure. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between gene polymorphisms and early implant failure. Fifty-eight patients older than 50 years was recruited for analysis of MMP-1 promoter polymorphisms in early osseointegrated implant failure. The results showed in control group a frequency of 20.97% of 2G allele and 67.74% the genotype 1G/1G whereas, in the test group, a frequency of 83.33% of 2G allele and 66.66% the genotype 2G/2G. These results indicate that the polymorphism in the promoter of the MMP-1 gene could be a risk factor for early implant failure of total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Currently, there are several femoral stem designs available for use, but few have an extended track record. We have previously reported on 10- and 15-year outcome studies of total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a cemented normalized and proportionalized femoral stem from a single surgeon series. This is a follow-up study reporting the minimum 20-year outcome of this femoral stem design. The study began with THA performed in a consecutive series of 184 patients; stem fixation was achieved using first-generation cementing techniques. The overall early complication rate was 10%. There were 23 patients (31 hips) who had been followed-up for a minimum 20-year period (average 21.3 years). Mean d'Aubigne and Postel scores improved from 5.9 to 11.3; mean Harris hip scores improved from 43.8 to 92.8. Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 93% at 20 years (95% confidence interval); there were no stem failures. The use of a cemented normalized and proportionalized femoral stem in primary THA provides satisfactory long-term clinical and radiological outcomes in patients.

Abstract
We report the updated results for a previously evaluated patient cohort who had uncemented total hip arthroplasties using the Lord femoral component. The original cohort consisted of 114 total hip arthroplasties (110 patients) performed from 1979 to 1984. The patients were followed up for an average of 21 years postoperatively. We describe the radiographic findings of 57 hips. At the last followup 11 (9.6%) of the 114 femoral components were revised or removed. Excluding infection there was an 83% 21-year survival according to Kaplan-Meier analysis. No significant radiographic changes occurred since the last publication. The prostheses are very well-fixed with no signs of loosening. Our current findings show the durability of the uncemented Lord femoral component indicating this prosthesis provides good long-term results.

Abstract
Similar outcomes have been reported for obese and nonobese patients after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), indicating obesity is not a contraindication to total hip arthroplasty. However, obese patients may develop implant failure and require revision THA. We compared the outcomes of revision THA in a matched cohort of obese and nonobese patients. Patients were stratified into two groups according to BMI (body mass index, kg/m2): Group 1 included 31 obese patients (BMI > 35), and Group 2 included 62 nonobese patients (BMI < 30) matched on age, gender, and type of revision procedure. Obese patients had increased total operating room time, a higher rate of discharge to a skilled nursing facility, and a higher dislocation rate (p < 0.05). Seven patients in the obese group underwent revision surgery, six of whom underwent additional reoperations to treat recurrent postoperative dislocation. Obese patients should be counseled about the increased risk of dislocation that can occur after revision THA.

Abstract
Changes in cemented femoral component geometry and surface finish have been made to improve predicted results. We studied the failure rates and radiographic failure patterns of four polished femoral stems with different geometries to determine if design changes over time improved our results. We retrospectively reviewed 910 patients with 1031 total hip arthroplasties performed from 1993 to 2003 with a minimum 2-year followup. All arthroplasties used the same cementing technique with polished femoral stems with a surface roughness of 4 microinches but with differing geometries. By 2005, seven stems (0.6%) were revised for aseptic loosening. All loosening started at the cement-bone interface. The time from the onset of loosening to revision averaged 3.3 years. In all but one patient the bone damage was minimal and amenable to simple revision femoral techniques. We found no obvious difference in loosening rates or radiographic failure patterns among the four stem geometries. The patients showed less bone damage and progressed slower than previous reports of failed rough femoral stems.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty has evolved in regard to surgical technique, implant design, and long-term survivorship over the last several decades with excellent clinical results. Owing to these improvements, indications for surgery have expanded to include a greater variety of patients. We present the case of a 62-year-old man who underwent total hip arthroplasty 39 years after contralateral hemipelvectomy. The importance of an appropriate preoperative plan in regard to patient positioning and postoperative protocol is addressed. Our patient was informed that data concerning his case would be submitted for publication.

Abstract
The search for improved femoral fixation in cemented total hip arthroplasty is ongoing. Two design variables, surface finish and stem contour, were evaluated. Sixteen titanium femoral stems of one design were cemented into fiberglass femora. One half of the components had a polished surface and the rest had a roughened finish. Within each group, 4 stems had vertically oriented ribs on the proximal portion and 4 did not. Micromotion was measured in a stair climbing simulator with loading to a joint reaction force of 200 kg for 6 million cycles. Micromotion increased throughout the course of the experiment. Stems with a polished surface had significantly higher micromotion. Although stems with ribs had less micromotion compared with those without ribs, this difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract
Using a modern cementing technique, we implanted 22 stereolithographic polymeric replicas of the Charnley-Kerboul stem in 11 pairs of human cadaver femora. On one side, the replicas were cemented line-to-line with the largest broach. On the other, one-size undersized replicas were used (radial difference, 0.89 mm sd 0.13). CT analysis showed that the line-to-line stems without distal centralisers were at least as well aligned and centered as undersized stems with a centraliser, but were surrounded by less cement and presented more areas of thin (< 2 mm) or deficient (< 1 mm) cement. These areas were located predominantly at the corners and in the middle and distal thirds of the stem. Nevertheless, in line-to-line stems, penetration of cement into cancellous bone resulted in a mean thickness of cement of 3.1 mm (sd 0.6) and only 6.2% of deficient and 26.4% of thin cement. In over 90% of these areas, the cement was directly supported by cortical bone or cortical bone with less than 1 mm of cancellous bone interposed. When Charnley-Kerboul stems are cemented line-to-line, good clinical results are observed because cement-deficient areas are limited and are frequently supported by cortical bone.

Abstract
In order to reduce the final stages of cementing time and intra-operative time, we analysed the behaviour pattern of a quick-setting cement. Quick-setting cement permits easy and adequate manipulation, which reduces surgical time and also the technical problems caused by waiting for setting to be completed. In order to verify the efficacy of faster cement, a double-blind randomised study was carried out comparing a type of traditional cement with quick-setting cement. Two groups of 20 patients were compared. The results show that the fast cement reduces setting time by an average of one minute and 55 seconds (p < 0.01) and presents similar manipulation characteristics to those of conventional cement.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Three hundred twenty-eight ceramic bearings were implanted by six surgeons in 316 patients as a part of a prospective randomized US Investigational Device Exemption study comparing alumina ceramic bearings with cobalt chrome-on-polyethylene bearings. There was no difference between the control metal-on-polyethylene and the alumina bearing couple patient cohorts regarding demographics or clinical scores through 7 years. Revision for any reason occurred in 2.7% of the patients with alumina bearings and 7.5% of the control patients with polyethylene bearings. Osteolysis was found in 1.4% of the patients with alumina bearings and in 14.0% of the control patients. At an average followup of 5.0 years (range, 1-86 months) no ceramic fractures or ceramic bearing failures have occurred. Results of this study suggest that alumina ceramics perform as well as the metal-on-polyethylene in clinical scores, but the patients with ceramic bearings had fewer revisions and less osteolysis. These results lead us to think that this new alumina ceramic bearing provides a safe option for younger and more active patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study, Level I-1b (randomized controlled trial, no significant difference, but narrow confidence intervals). See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
