Abstract
Aims Dual-mobility acetabular components (DMCs) have improved total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability in femoral neck fractures (FNFs). In osteoarthritis, the direct anterior approach (DAA) has been promoted for improving early functional results compared with the posterolateral approach (PLA). The aim of this study was to compare these two approaches in FNF using DMC-THA. Methods A prospective continuous cohort study was conducted on patients undergoing operation for FNF using DMC by DAA or PLA. Functional outcome was evaluated using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Parker score at three months and one year. Perioperative complications were recorded, and radiological component positioning evaluated. Results There were 50 patients in the DAA group and 54 in the PLA group. The mean HHS was 85.5 (SD 8.8) for the DAA group and 81.8 (SD 11.9) for the PLA group (p = 0.064). In all, 35 patients in the DAA group and 40 in the PLA group returned to their pre-fracture Parker score (p = 0.641) in both groups. No statistically significant differences between groups were found at one year regarding these two scores (p = 0.062 and p = 0.723, respectively). The DAA was associated with more intraoperative complications (p = 0.013). There was one dislocation in each group, and four revisions for DAA and one for PLA, but this difference was not statistically significant. There were also no significant differences regarding blood loss, length of stay, or operating time. Conclusion In DMC-THA for FNF, DAA did not achieve better functional results than PLA, either at three months or at one year. Moreover, DAA presented an increased risk of intra-operative complications.

Abstract
» The elderly population is the fastest growing demographic, and the number of dementia cases in the United States is expected to double to 10 million by 2050.» Patients with dementia are at 3× higher risk of hip fractures and have higher morbidity and mortality after hip fractures.» Hip fracture patients with dementia benefit from early analgesia and timely surgical fixation of fracture.» Early and intensive inpatient rehabilitation is associated with improved postoperative outcomes in patients with dementia.» Coordination of care within a "orthogeriatric" team decreases mortality, and fracture liaison services show potential for improving long-term outcomes in hip fracture patients with dementia.

Abstract
Objective The number of adults with dementia is rising worldwide. Although dementia has been linked with inferior outcomes following various operations, this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated among patients undergoing elective lung resection. Using a national cohort, we evaluated the association of dementia with clinical and financial outcomes following lobectomy for cancer. Methods Adults undergoing lobectomy for lung cancer were identified within the 2010-2020 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Patients with a comorbid diagnosis of dementia were considered the Dementia cohort (others: Non-Dementia). Multivariable regressions were developed to evaluate the association between dementia and key outcomes. Results Of ∼314,436 patients, 2863 (0.9%) comprised the Dementia cohort. Compared with Non-Dementia, the Dementia cohort was older (75 vs 68 years, P < .001), less commonly female (49.4 vs 53.9%, P = .01), and had a greater burden of comorbid conditions. After adjustment, dementia remained associated with similar odds of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54-1.38) but greater likelihood of pneumonia (aOR, 1.31; CI, 1.04-1.65) and infectious complications (aOR, 1.37; CI, 1.01-1.87). Further, dementia was associated with longer length of stay (β +0.96 days; CI, 0.51-1.41), but no difference in hospitalization cost (β $1528; CI, -92 to 3148). Conclusions Patients with dementia faced similar odds of mortality, but greater complications and resource use following lobectomy for lung cancer. Novel interventions are needed to improve care coordination and develop standardized recovery pathways for this growing cohort.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:625. [PMID: 37626370 PMCID: PMC10464356 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04114-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim was to determine the best operative procedure in human participants with a displaced or non-displaced femoral neck fracture comparing cannulated screw (CS) fixation, dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation, hemiarthroplasty (HA), and total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of surgical and functional outcomes, reoperation and postoperative complications. METHODS We searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Clinical trials, CINAHL, and Embase for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs up to 31 July 2022. A frequentist network meta-analysis was performed to assess the comparative effects of the four operative procedures, using fixed-effects and random-effects models. Mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated for continuous variables and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were estimated for binary variables. RESULTS A total of 33 RCTs with 5703 patients were included in our network meta-analysis. CS fixation was best in terms of operation time (CS: MD = - 57.70, 95% CI - 72.78; - 42.62; DHS: MD = - 53.56, 95% CI - 76.17; - 30.95; HA: MD = - 20.90, 95% CI - 30.65; - 11.15; THA: MD = 1.00 reference) and intraoperative blood loss (CS: MD = - 3.67, 95% CI - 4.44; - 2.90; DHS: MD = - 3.20, 95% CI - 4.97; - 1.43; HA: MD = - 1.20, 95% CI - 1.73; - 0.67; THA: MD = 1.00 reference). In life quality and functional outcome, measured at different time points with EQ-5D and the Harris Hip Score (HHS), THA ranked first and HA second (e.g. EQ-5D 2 years postoperatively: CS: MD = - 0.20, 95% CI - 0.29; - 0.11; HA: MD = - 0.09, 95% CI - 0.17; - 0.02; THA: MD = 1.00 reference; HHS 2 years postoperatively: CS: MD = - 5.50, 95% CI - 9.98; - 1.03; DHS: MD = - 8.93, 95% CI - 15.08; - 2.78; HA: MD = - 3.65, 95% CI - 6.74; - 0.57; THA: MD = 1.00 reference). CS fixation had the highest reoperation risk, followed by DHS fixation, HA, and THA (CS: OR = 9.98, 95% CI 4.60; 21.63; DHS: OR = 5.07, 95% CI 2.15; 11.96; HA: OR = 1.60, 95% CI 0.89; 2.89; THA: OR = 1.00 reference). CONCLUSION In our cohort of patients with displaced and non-displaced femoral neck fractures, HHS, EQ-5D, and reoperation risk showed an advantage of THA and HA compared with CS and DHS fixation. Based on these findings, we recommend that hip arthroplasty should be preferred and internal fixation of femoral neck fractures should only be considered in individual cases.

Abstract
Aims Dislocation of a total hip replacement is a serious complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Dislocation rates are higher when surgery is performed following trauma. Our study compares post-operative dislocation rates between conventional acetabular bearing (CAB) and dual mobility acetabular bearing (DMB) THA performed for neck of femur fracture alongside post-operative periprosthetic fracture, revision and mortality. Methods A retrospective multicentre cohort study at 9 hospital trusts in the United Kingdom of all THA performed for neck of femur fracture between March 2018 and February 2019. Results A total of 295 operations were performed. 64% (189) were CAB and 36% (106) were DMB. Average age was 75 years (38-98). 223 Female: 72 Male. The follow-up period was an average of 42 months (36-48). Overall revision rate was 1.6%,8 peri-prosthetic fracture rate was 6 (2%) and overall mortality was 9.8% (29) with no significant difference between cohorts for any outcome. The posterior approach (PA) was favoured 82% (242) vs the lateral approach (LA) 18% (53) with the PA used more often in patients undergoing DMB 96% (102) vs CAB 74% (140) p = 0.001. Patients approached posteriorly at the time of their index procedure were significantly less likely to sustain a simple dislocation following a DMB 0 (0%) vs. CAB 8 (5.7%) p = 0.015. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the risk of dislocation following THA for trauma is more than four times higher than when conventional bearings are used compared to dual mobility acetabular components. This effect is most pronounced when the PA is utilised for the index procedure. The use of these bearings does not impact mortality, peri-prosthetic fracture or revision rate. We would encourage the use of dual mobility acetabular bearings in patients undergoing THA for fracture via a PA.

Abstract
Introduction Studies comparing the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with conventional implants and hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures (DFNF) have reported better patient satisfaction scores and outcomes in the former, but also significant dislocation rates (6.9-13%).The total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility cup (THA-DMC) design is mechanically proven to increase the hip range of motion and jump distance to dislocation relative to conventional implants. Despite its potential benefit, clinical studies analyzing the use of THA-DMC in the treatment of DFNF in comparison to conventional THA within the Asian population are still limited. Our study aims to compare the rate of complications and functional outcomes between the 2 implants in the treatment of DFNF. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single tertiary care institution. From January 2015 to May 2020, data from 129 consecutive patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria and underwent either a THA or THA-DMC for DFNF were collected and divided into 2 groups. All patients received a standardized post-operative treatment and follow-up regime. Both groups of patients were assessed for post-operative complications such as dislocation, peri-prosthetic fractures, surgical site infections, medical complications. Their functional outcomes as well as patient-reported outcome scores were also assessed via the SF-36 score and Oxford hip score questionnaires at 6 months and 1 year. Results A total of 42 patients with dual mobility implants and 87 patients with conventional implants were recruited. There was no dislocation in the THA-DMC group while there were 4 cases (4/87, 4.6%) of dislocation in the THA group. Regarding post-operative function, both groups had comparable functional outcomes. There were no statistically significant differences between the patient-reported outcome scores (Oxford hip score and SF-36) at 6 months and 1 year. Conclusion We report promising short-term outcomes utilizing dual mobility implants in total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of DFNFs.

Do Dual-mobility Cups Reduce Revision Risk in Femoral Neck Fractures Compared With Conventional THA Designs? An International Meta-analysis of Arthroplasty Registries. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2022; 480:1912-1925. [PMID: 35767813 PMCID: PMC9473769 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual-mobility cups in THA were designed to reduce prosthesis instability and the subsequent risk of revision surgery in high-risk patients, such as those with hip fractures. However, there are limited data from clinical studies reporting a revision benefit of dual-mobility over conventional THA. Collaboration between anthroplasty registries provides an opportunity to describe international practice variation and compare between-country, all-cause revision rates for dual-mobility and conventional THA. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We summarized observational data from multiple arthroplasty registries for patients receiving either a dual-mobility or conventional THA to ask: (1) Is dual-mobility use associated with a difference in risk of all-cause revision surgery compared with conventional THA? (2) Are there specific patient characteristics associated with dual-mobility use in the hip fracture population? (3) Has the use of dual-mobility constructs changed over time in patients receiving a THA for hip fracture? METHODS Six member registries of the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (from Australia, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States) provided custom aggregate data reports stratified by acetabular cup type (dual-mobility or conventional THA) in primary THA for hip fracture between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2019; surgical approach; and patient demographic data (sex, mean age, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and BMI). The cumulative percent revision and mortality were calculated for each registry. To determine a global hazard ratio of all-cause revision for dual-mobility compared with conventional THA designs, we used a pseudoindividual patient data approach to pool Kaplan-Meier prosthesis revision data from each registry and perform a meta-analysis. The pseudoindividual patient data approach is a validated technique for meta-analysis of aggregate time-to-event survival data, such as revision surgery, from multiple sources. Data were available for 15,024 dual-mobility THAs and 97,200 conventional THAs performed for hip fractures during the study period. RESULTS After pooling of complete Kaplan-Meier survival data from all six registries, the cumulative percent revision for conventional THA was 4.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2% to 4.5%) and 4.7% (95% CI 4.3% to 5.3%) for dual-mobility THA at 5 years. We did not demonstrate a lower risk of all-cause revision for patients receiving dual-mobility over conventional THA designs for hip fracture in the meta-analysis once between-registry differences were adjusted for (HR 0.96 [95% CI 0.86 to 1.06]). A lower proportion of dual-mobility procedures were revised for dislocation than conventional THAs (0.9% versus 1.4%) but a higher proportion were revised for infection (1.2% versus 0.8%). In most registries, a greater proportion of dual-mobility THA patients were older, had more comorbidities, and underwent a posterior approach compared with conventional THA (p < 0.001). The proportion of dual-mobility THA used to treat hip fractures increased in each registry over time and constituted 21% (2438 of 11,874) of all THA procedures in 2019. CONCLUSION The proportion of dual-mobility THAs in patients with hip fractures increased over time, but there was large variation in use across countries represented here. Dual-mobility cups were not associated with a reduction in the overall risk of revision surgery in patients with hip fractures. A randomized controlled trial powered to detect the incidence of dislocation and subsequent revision surgery is required to clarify the efficacy of dual-mobility cups to treat hip fractures.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to identify if there is any association between neuromuscular disorders and prosthetic dislocation in patients treated with hip hemiarthroplasty for neck of femur fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our study is a retrospective analysis of data collected over 34 years for patients with intracapsular neck of femur fracture who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty. Pathological fractures and patients treated with other treatment modalities were excluded. The study population is composed of four groups; patients with no neuromuscular disorders, patients with Parkinson's disease, patients with previous stroke, and patients with mental impairment. RESULTS A total of 3827 patients were treated with hip hemiarthroplasty. For the 3371 patients with no neuromuscular condition (Group I) the dislocation rate was 1.1%. 219 patients had Parkinsonism (Group II) with a dislocation rate of 3.2%, 104 patients had a previous stroke with weakness on the fracture side with a dislocation rate of 1.0% (Group III), and 984 patients had severe mental impairment with a dislocation rate of 1.8% (Group IV). The increased dislocation rate for those with Parkinson's disease was statistically significant (p = 0.02) while none of the other neuromuscular conditions were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates an increased risk of dislocation after hemiarthroplasty for patients with Parkinson's disease in comparison to other groups. No increase was apparent for those with mental impairment or weakness from a previous stroke.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103098.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Instability after hip arthroplasty, whether it is a total (THA) or intermediate (HA), poses a major risk, however arthroplasty is the standard treatment for displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck of the elderly. Three types of arthroplasties can be proposed: total prostheses with or without a dual mobility cup (DM THA) reducing the risk of dislocation, and hemiarthroplasties. In the absence of clear recommendations regarding the type of implant to be used and the scarcity of studies comparing HA and DM THA, we conducted a monocentric comparative retrospective study using the propensity score method to compare DM THA versus HA on recently displaced femoral neck fractures: (1) survival and risk of dislocation, (2) functional results, (3) mortality. HYPOTHESIS The rate of dislocation of THA fitted with a DM cup is lower than that of HA. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively identified 112 patients in the HA group and 153 patients in the DM THA group who underwent an emergency arthroplasty for a displaced cervical fracture between 2010 and 2013. The minimum follow-up was 5 years (range, 5-9 years). The mean age at surgery was 81 years (range, 55-101 years). Elective surgery patients (n=2), hardware fractures (n=10), pathological fractures of the femoral neck (n=6), associated fractures (n=3), and revision surgeries (n=5) were excluded. The primary outcome measure was instability. Clinical follow-up was performed by the WOMAC score and the risk of mortality was determined after adjusting for confounding factors using the propensity score method. RESULTS After adjustment by the propensity score, the dislocation rate at 2-years was 2.2% (n=3/153) in the dual mobility THA group and 6.3% (n=7/112) in the HA group (OR=0.34 [95% CI: 0.06-1.96] (p=0.23)). After adjustment by the propensity score, the mean WOMAC score was 8.20 (±6.56) in the THA group, compared to 10.78±3.92 on average in the HA group (p=0.031). After adjustment by the propensity score, we did not find any significant difference in the reoperation rate without changing implants and revisions, and postoperative complications. After adjustment by the propensity score, mortality was significantly higher in the HA group 45.5% (n=69/152) versus 91.5% (n=102/112) in the HA group (OR=0.50 [95% CI: 0.25-0.98] (p=0.042)). DISCUSSION Few studies have compared these two types of implant in the context of trauma. Although the results of our study are not significant regarding the risk of dislocation, the use of a dual mobility cup seems to be a very satisfactory solution in this trauma context.

Dual mobility cups do not reduce the revision risk for patients with acute femoral neck fracture: A matched cohort study from the Swedish Arthroplasty Register. Injury 2022; 53:620-625. [PMID: 34862038 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.11.033] [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: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 11/14/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dual mobility cups (DMC) are gaining in popularity, as a method to reduce the risk of dislocation after fracture-related hip arthroplasty. Our aim was to compare revision rate in general, as well as due to dislocation and infection, after DMC and conventional THA due to femoral neck fracture, for each of the two groups of lateral and posterior approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS This observational cohort study based on the Swedish Arthroplasty Register (SAR) compared 2242 patients with dual mobility cups (DMC) and 6726 with conventional total hip arthroplasty (cTHA), all due to acute fracture 2005-2019. This was after propensity score matching of 1:3 (age, gender, ASA). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to investigate the 5-year revision rate after DMC and cTHA in the posterior and lateral approach groups. RESULTS The rates of revision in general, and due to dislocation or infection, were similar for DMC and cTHA in the different approach groups during the follow-up. The cumulative revision rate after posterior approach was 4.7% (95% CI 3.1-6.2) for DMC and 4.8% (3.8-5.7) for cTHA at 5 years. For lateral approach, the result was 2.3% (CI 1.3-3.3) for DMC and 3.7% (CI 3.0-4.4) for cTHA. The 5-year results for cumulative revision rate due to dislocation after posterior approach were 1.3% (0.4-2.2) for DMC and 2.2% (1.5-2.8) for cTHA. Corresponding results for lateral approach was 0.4% (0-0.8) for DMC and 0.7% (0.4-1) for cTHA. DISCUSSION With implant revision surgery as outcome, we could not detect any differences between DMC and cTHA. Further studies with high external validity are needed regarding total dislocation rate, patient-reported outcome, cost-effectiveness and learning curve, to make a definitive recommendation on the use of DMC for fracture cases. CONCLUSIONS As treatment of acute femoral neck fractures, total hip arthroplasty with a dual mobility cup have similar outcome in terms of revisions in general, and due to dislocation or infections specifically, as one with conventional bearing. The similar outcome is regardless of surgical approach.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the potentially increased risk of dislocation in patients with neurological disease who sustain a femoral neck fracture, as it is unclear whether they should undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA). A secondary aim was to investgate whether dual-mobility components confer a reduced risk of dislocation in these patients. METHODS We undertook a longitudinal cohort study linking the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register with the National Patient Register, including patients with a neurological disease presenting with a femoral neck fracture and treated with HA, a conventional THA (cTHA) with femoral head size of ≤ 32 mm, or a dual-mobility component THA (DMC-THA) between 2005 and 2014. The dislocation rate at one- and three-year revision, reoperation, and mortality rates were recorded. Cox multivariate regression models were fitted to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS A total of 9,638 patients with a neurological disease who also underwent unilateral arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture were included in the study. The one-year dislocation rate was 3.7% after HA, 8.8% after cTHA < 32 mm), 5.9% after cTHA (= 32 mm), and 2.7% after DMC-THA. A higher risk of dislocation was associated with cTHA (< 32 mm) compared with HA (HR 1.90 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26 to 2.86); p = 0.002). There was no difference in the risk of dislocation with DMC-THA (HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.26 to 1.84); p = 0.451) or cTHA (= 32 mm) (HR 1.54 (95% CI 0.94 to 2.51); p = 0.083). There were no differences in the rate of reoperation and revision-free survival between the different types of prosthesis and sizes of femoral head. CONCLUSION Patients with a neurological disease who sustain a femoral neck fracture have similar rates of dislocation after undergoing HA or DMC-THA. Most patients with a neurological disease are not eligible for THA and should thus undergo HA, whereas those eligible for THA could benefit from a DMC-THA.

Trends of Femoral Neck Fracture Treatment Using Total Hip Arthroplasty: Reported From the American Joint Replacement Registry. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e44-e50. [PMID: 34192715 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-21-00132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip arthroplasty (THA) rather than hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) is often chosen for younger patients who are more active and/or have underlying hip osteoarthritis. However, instability remains the primary concern of doing THA. Dual mobility (DM) has been shown to decrease this risk through a larger effective head size and greater head-to-neck ratio compared with conventional THA. The purpose of this study was to identify femoral head size and DM usage patterns for the treatment of FNF with THA in the United States using the American Joint Replacement Registry. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including all primary THAs done for FNF from 2012 to 2019. THA and FNF were defined using Current Procedural Terminology or International Classification of Diseases-9 or -10 diagnosis and procedure codes. Analysis was based on patient demographics, femoral head size, and DM usage. Descriptive statistics were used using a Pearson chi-square test. All analyses were conducted using SAS version 9.4, and statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS There were 18,752 THAs done by 3,242 surgeons at 789 institutions during the 8-year study period. The overall population was 66% female, and the mean age was 72.3 ± 11.8 years. The most commonly used femoral head size was 36 mm (48.5%) followed by 32 mm (24.5%), ≤28 mm (10.7%), DM (10.8%), and ≥40 mm (5.7%). A trend was observed toward decreased use of ≤28, 32, and ≥40-mm heads starting in 2016 across the years and increased use of 36-mm heads (P < 0.0001). A significant increase was observed in the usage of DM over time from 6.4% in 2012 to 16.2% in 2019 (P < 0.0001). DISCUSSION Most of the femoral heads used were ≥36 mm, and the use of DM increased during the study period. Additional analysis is warranted to understand how these trends will affect overall outcomes and postoperative dislocation rates.

Dual-Mobility Articulations in Femoral Neck Fractures: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Meta-analysis of the Outcomes. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2021; 29:e618-e627.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral neck fractures have been traditionally managed with hemiarthroplasty (HA) or conventional total hip arthroplasty (CTHA). There has been recent interest in using dual-mobility components (DMC) in total hip arthroplasty for patients with femoral neck fractures to provide increased stability and decrease the need for future revision. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the literature reporting on the use of DMC in the management of femoral neck fractures in geriatric patients. We included studies in which DMC were used alone and studies that included a comparison to total hip arthroplasty or HA. The outcomes of interest were postoperative dislocation, revision, and revision surgery rates. Two separate subgroup analyses were conducted. For the comparative studies, we analyzed the differences in outcomes using a random-effects model of relative risks. For the noncomparative studies, we estimated the cumulative incidence of the different outcomes. RESULTS Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in our analysis. Eleven noncomparative studies showed a cumulative incidence of dislocation to be 1.2% (95% confidence interval = 0.3% to 2.7%) when DMC were used alone. Subgroup analyses of the seven comparative studies yielded a relative risk of dislocation using DMC was 59% less than HA and 83% less than CTHA. DMC also compared favorably in terms of revision surgery and revision rates to HA. There was insufficient quality evidence to comment on revision surgery and revision rates when compared with CTHA in comparative studies, but among the noncomparative studies, there was a low rate of revision and revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed overall lower risk of dislocation using DMC compared with both CTHA and HA. There were also lower revision and revision surgery rates when DMC were used compared with HA. Further studies are required to elucidate cost-effectiveness and long-term outcomes of DMC in these scenarios. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III-meta-analysis.

[PMID: 34126990 PMCID: PMC8204435 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04404-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The aims of this meta-analysis were to: (1) validate the outcome of modern dual mobility (DM) designs in patients who had undergone primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures and (2) to identify factors that affect the outcome. Methods We searched for studies that assessed the outcome of modern DM-THA in primary and revision procedures that were conducted between January, 2000 to August, 2020 on PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Reviews and Embase. The pooled incidence of the most common failure modes and patient reported outcomes were evaluated in patients who have received: (1) primary THA, (2) revision THA for all causes or (3) for recurrent dislocation. A meta-regression analysis was performed for each parameter to determine the association with the outcome. The study design of each study was assessed for potential bias and flaws by using the quality assessment tool for case series studies. Results A total of 119 studies (N= 30016 DM-THAs) were included for analysis. The mean follow-up duration was 47.3 months. The overall implant failure rate was 4.2% (primary: 2.3%, revision for all causes: 5.5%, recurrent dislocation: 6.0%). The most common failure modes were aseptic loosening (primary: 0.9%, revision for all causes: 2.2%, recurrent dislocation: 2.4%), septic loosening (primary:0.8%, revision for all causes: 2.3%, recurrent dislocation: 2.5%), extra-articular dislocation (primary:0.6%, revision for all causes:1.3%, recurrent dislocation:2.5%), intra-prosthetic dislocation (primary:0.8%, revision for all causes:1.0%, recurrent dislocation:1.6%) and periprosthetic fracture (primary:0.9%, revision for all causes:0.9%, recurrent dislocation:1.3%). The multi-regression analysis identified younger age (β=-0.04, 95% CI -0.07 – -0.02) and female patients (β=3.34, 95% CI 0.91–5.78) were correlated with higher implant failure rate. Age, gender, posterolateral approach and body mass index (BMI) were not risk factors for extra-articular or intra-prosthetic dislocation in this cohort. The overall Harris hip score and Merle d’Aubigné score were 84.87 and 16.36, respectively. Level of evidence of this meta-analysis was IV. Conclusion Modern dual-mobility designs provide satisfactory mid-term implant survival and clinical performance. Younger age and female patients might impact the outcome after DM-THA. Future research directions should focus on, (1) long-term outcome of modern dual-mobility design, including specific concerns such as intra-prosthetic dislocation and elevated metal ion, and (2) cost-effectiveness analysis of dual-mobility implant as an alternative to conventional THA for patients who are at high risk of dislocation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restoration of pain-free joint function by implantation of a bipolar hemiarthroplasty via anterolateral approach. INDICATIONS Elderly multimorbid patients >70 years, age >80 years, low functional demand. CONTRAINDICATIONS Infection. Relative contraindications: dysplastic hip joint. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Supine position. Anterolateral approach. Incision of the iliotibial tract and entering the interval between tensor fasciae latae muscle/gluteus medius muscle. Capsulotomy. Femoral neck osteotomy. Removal of the femoral head and determination of the size of the bipolar prosthetic head. Inspection of the acetabulum. Adduction, external rotation ("figure 4" position) of the leg. Medullary preparation of the femur with rasps up to the correct level and size of the planed stem. Ensure the correct rotation of anteversion (10-15°). Trial reduction and examination of hip stability. Verification with image intensifier. Cement restrictor, jet lavage, drying the medullary canal, injection of bone cement and insertion of the prosthetic stem. Assembly/attachment of the definitive bipolar head to the stem. Reduction of the joint. Wound closure. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT Early mobilization and full weight bearing. Limitation of hip flexion >90°, rotation and adduction for 6 weeks. Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Osteoporosis evaluation and management. Clinical-radiological control (after 6 weeks, 1/3/5 years). RESULTS The implantation of a cemented hemiarthroplasty using the anterolateral approach is a muscle-sparing and dislocation-safe surgical procedure with a low risk of revision, which enables early patient mobilization and a good hip joint function.

Abstract
Background Elderly patients with femoral neck fractures are at a higher risk of dislocation after hip arthroplasty procedures. In comparison with total hip arthroplasty (THA), bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA) and dual-mobility total hip arthroplasty (DM-THA) can be an effective alternative treatment which increases the effective head size and overall stability of the prosthesis. We aim to review the current evidence on the outcome after DM-THA and HA for femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Methods We performed a comprehensive review of literatures on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials and comparative interventional studies. Of the 936 studies identified, 8 met the inclusion criteria (541 DM-THA and 603 HA procedures). Two reviewers independently reviewed and graded each study and recorded relevant data including dislocation rate, implant failure rate, reoperation rate, 1-year mortality rate, Harris hip score (HHS), operation time, and intraoperative blood loss. Results DM-THA was associated with a lower dislocation rate (OR 3.599; 95% CI 1.954 to 6.630), a lower reoperation rate (OR 2.056; 95% CI 1.211 to 3.490), an increased operation time (SMD − 0.561; 95% CI − 0.795 to − 0.326) and more intraoperative blood loss (SMD − 0.778; 95% CI − 1.238 to − 0.319), compared with the HA group. Moreover, the multivariate regression analysis revealed that age, female sex, posterolateral surgical approach, and choice of DM-THA or HA were not associated with dislocation or reoperation. Conclusions Based on the current evidence, the advantages reported for DM-THA over HA with regard to dislocation and reoperation rate in elderly patients with FNF remain inconclusive. High-quality studies on the high-risk patients with cognitive disorder or dementia are necessary to validate the value of DM-THA.

Abstract
Background We performed an updated systematic review and meta-analysis which enrolled 25 prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the outcomes between total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) in patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Methods We searched English databases which included PubMed, Embase (vis OvidSP), The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, and Chinese databases Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wang Fang, and China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM) in July 2020. The quality of each study was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias. Risk ratios (RRs) and weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were pooled with random-effects models. Data regarding baseline characteristics, hospital and surgery outcomes, clinical outcomes, patients’ quality of life, common complications, prothesis-related complications, mortality, and costs were reported. Results A total of 25 RCTs involving 3223 patients (1568 THA and 1655 HA) were included. THA had longer hospital length (WMD = 0.721, P < 0.0001) and surgery time (WMD = 20.044, P < 0.0001), and more blood loss compared with HA (WMD = 69.109, P < 0.0001). THA showed better ratings in the Harris Hip Score during follow-up periods between 1 and 5 years while no differences within 6 months and after 9 years. THA was associated with higher quality-of-life EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) scores after 2 years of surgery but no difference within 1 year. There was no difference in common complications. THA had significant higher rate of dislocation (WMD = 1.897, P = 0.002) and lower acetabular erosion (WMD = 0.030, P = 0.001). For mortality, there was no difference during all the follow-up periods except for slightly higher 2-year mortality after surgery. Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrates that THA has better medium-term functional results and quality of life and lower acetabular erosion rate, while HA shows better in reducing hospital stay, surgery time, and blood loss and also has lower dislocation rate.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the rate of dislocation following dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (DM-THA) in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, and to compare rates of dislocation, surgical-site infection, reoperation, and one-year mortality between DM-THA and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). METHODS Studies were selected based on the following criteria: 1) study design (retrospective cohort studies, prospective cohort studies, retrospective comparative studies, prospective comparative studies, and randomized controlled studies (RCTs)); 2) study population (patients with femoral neck fracture); 3) intervention (DM-THA or BHA); and 4) outcomes (complications during postoperative follow-up and clinical results). Pooled meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the dislocation rate after DM-THA and to compare outcomes between DM-THA and BHA. RESULTS A total of 17 studies (ten cohort studies on DM-THA and seven comparative studies of DM-THA and BHA) were selected. These studies included 2,793 patients (2,799 hips), made up of 2,263 DM-THA patients (2,269 hips) and 530 BHA patients (530 hips). In all, 16 studies were analyzed to evaluate dislocation rate after DM-THA. The cumulative dislocation rate was 4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3 to 5). Seven studies were analyzed to compare the rates dislocation and surgical-site infection. The rate of dislocation was significantly lower in the DM-THA group than in the BHA group (risk ratio (RR) 0.3; 95% CI 0.17 to 0.53, p < 0.001, Z -4.11). There was no significant difference in the rate of surgical-site infection between the two groups (p = 0.580). Six studies reported all-cause reoperations. The rate of reoperation was significantly lower in the DM-THA group than in the BHA group (RR 0.5; 95% CI 0.32 to 0.78, p = 0.003, Z -3.01). Five studies reported one-year mortality. The mortality rate was significantly lower in the DM-THA group than in the BHA group (RR 0.58 95% CI 0.45 to 0.75, p < 0.0001, Z -4.2). CONCLUSION While the evidence available consisted mainly of non-randomized studies, DM-THA appeared to be a viable option for patients with displaced fractures of the femoral neck, with better reported rates of dislocation, reoperation, and mortality than BHA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fractures are a leading cause of disability worldwide, with displaced femoral neck fractures being of particular concern. A recent meta-analysis reported that total hip arthroplasty (THA) was superior to hemiarthroplasty (HA) in terms of reoperations, but inferior in terms of dislocations. However, publication of 4 additional randomized controlled trials that enrolled nearly 1,780 additional patients merits an updated meta-analysis. METHODS We conducted a literature search of 4 databases to identify randomized controlled trials comparing THA and HA in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. For patient-reported outcomes, the minimally important difference informed calculation of risk differences. We performed a subgroup analysis to address the possible impact of risk of bias and performed meta-regression to assess the possible impact of duration of follow-up. RESULTS Sixteen studies that enrolled 3,084 patients randomized to undergo THA (n = 1,521) or HA (n = 1,563) proved eligible. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of the revision rate at up to 5 years of follow-up or functional outcome at up to 3 years. Health-related quality of life was superior in the THA group (mean difference [MD] = 0.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.02 to 0.07, minimally important difference, 0.145). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of dislocation or periprosthetic fracture incidence. Operative time was significantly shorter in the HA group (MD = 22 minutes, 95% CI = 9 to 35 minutes). Analyses addressing risk of bias and length of follow-up did not reveal subgroup differences. Certainty of evidence for all outcomes was rated as moderate. CONCLUSIONS The best evidence showed, with moderate certainty, that HA and THA likely result in similar revision rate, function, mortality, periprosthetic fracture, and dislocation at up to 5 years, with a small, possibly unimportant benefit in health-related quality of life with THA. More specifically, the improvements are well below established cutoffs for clinical importance. Almost half of all patients were from a single large randomized controlled trial, although the results were consistent across the studies. In addition, HA likely results in a clinically unimportant reduction in operative time. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level I.

Abstract
AIMS Dislocation is the most common indication for further surgery following total hip arthroplasty (THA) when undertaken in patients with a femoral neck fracture. This study aimed to assess the complication rates of THA with dual mobility components (THA-DMC) following a femoral neck fracture and to compare outcomes between THA-DMC, conventional THA, and hemiarthroplasty (HA). METHODS We performed a systematic review of all English language articles on THA-DMC published between 2010 and 2019 in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. After the application of rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, 23 studies dealing with patients who underwent treatment for a femoral neck fracture using THA-DMC were analyzed for the rate of dislocation. Secondary outcomes included reoperation, periprosthetic fracture, infection, mortality, and functional outcome. The review included 7,189 patients with a mean age of 77.8 years (66.4 to 87.6) and a mean follow-up of 30.9 months (9.0 to 68.0). RESULTS THA-DMC was associated with a significantly lower dislocation rate compared with both THA (OR 0.26; 95% CI 0.08 to 0.79) and HA (odds ratio (OR) 0.27; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15 to 0.50). The rate of large articulations and of intraprosthetic dislocation was 1.5% (n = 105) and 0.04% (n = 3) respectively. CONCLUSION THA-DMC when used in patients with a femoral neck fracture is associated with a lower dislocation rate compared with conventional arthroplasty options. There was no increase in the rates of other complication when THA-DMC was used. Future cost analysis and prospective, comparative studies are required to assess the potential benefit of using THA-DMC in these patients. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(7):811-821.

Abstract
Hip fracture is a cause for concern in the geriatric population. It is one of the leading causes of traumatic injury in this demographic and correlates to a higher risk of all-cause morbidity and mortality. The Garden classification of femoral neck fractures (FNF) dictates treatment via internal fixation or hip replacement, including hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty. This review summarizes existing literature that has explored the difference in outcomes between internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, and total hip arthroplasty for nondisplaced and displaced FNF in the geriatric population, and more specifically highlights the risks and benefits of a cemented vs. uncemented approach to hemiarthroplasty.
