Abstract
The hip joint is commonly affected in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), especially in cases of systemic polyarticular disease. Chronic synovitis of the hip leads to joint destruction, therefore, systemic and local control of the disease is of paramount importance. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs), biologics, intra-articular corticosteroid injections, and physical therapy are the mainstay for controlling ongoing inflammation and hip joint contractures. Synovectomy with soft tissue releases is useful in the early stages of the disease, when the joint cartilage is largely preserved. Total joint arthroplasty (THA) is successful in relieving pain, and improving function, ambulation and range of motion in end-stage degenerative arthritis. With improved designs of smaller prostheses and modern bearing couples, it is hoped that the longevity of THA will facilitate a more normal and enduring lifestyle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often suffer from involvement of the hip joints, with joint destruction and related functional limitations, making hip replacement necessary. OBJECTIVES To discover what special features are to be expected in patients with JIA and hip arthroplasty and what impact they have on surgical indication, choice of implant, and technique. METHODS Selective literature review and evaluation of our patient population. RESULTS Compared with osteoarthritis patients, JIA patients are on average much younger at the time of hip replacement. Owing to the onset of the disease in childhood or adolescence and the frequent glucocorticoid therapy, growth disorders or abnormal anatomical findings are common in these patients. Bone density is often reduced at an early age. The perioperative management of medication has to be planned. Special implants for patients with rheumatic diseases do not exist, but the above peculiarities of this group of patients should be considered for surgical procedure and choice of implant and material. Overall, the results of hip arthroplasty in juvenile rheumatic diseases, in terms of pain relief and functional improvement, are good. The limited life of the arthroplasty is problematic. CONCLUSIONS By relieving pain, improvement of the range of motion and activity level very high patient satisfaction is usually achieved by hip arthroplasty in JIA patients. In the case of involvement of the contralateral hip or the ipsilateral knee joint it may be useful to perform a simultaneous, single-stage joint replacement of both joints.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is recognized as a heterogenous group of disorders in which the common factor is persistent arthritis in at least 1 joint occurring before the age of 16 years. Although conservative management with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs can be effective, approximately 10% of JIA patients have end-stage degenerative changes requiring total hip arthroplasties (THAs) and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). This article discusses the overall epidemiology, coordination of care, and medical and surgical management of JIA patients undergoing THA and TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is challenging as a result of the patient's young age, systemic disease, multiple affected joints, small proportions, and bone loss. The intermediate- to long-term results of these surgeries remain unknown. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to determine the (1) functional outcomes; (2) surgical complications; and (3) frequency of reoperation or revision after revision THA for JIA. METHODS We reviewed the records of all patients from one center who underwent revision THA for JIA who had a minimum of 5 years of followup (mean, 9 years; range, 5-19 years). This resulted in a series of 24 revision THAs in 15 patients. All patients were Charnley Class C. Age at revision averaged 35 years (range, 21-53 years). The 20 acetabular and 12 femoral revision components included 15 cementless cups, five reconstruction/roof rings with a cemented cup, and four cemented and eight cementless femoral stems. RESULTS The Harris hip scores improved from 54 (range, 34-85) to 77 (range, 37-100) (p < 0.001). Complications included two proximal femoral fractures associated with severe osteolysis and one sciatic nerve palsy in a patient with severe acetabular deficiency. A total of seven hips (29%) required reoperation or revision surgery, including three for infection (one early and two late) and four for mechanical loosening. CONCLUSIONS Revision THA in JIA is very challenging owing to patients' small proportions and compromised bone stock. The intraoperative and early complication rates are relatively high. Prognosis for long-term survivorship is guarded; limiting factors include periprosthetic osteolysis associated with older implants that used conventional polyethylene and cemented stems.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to observe the structure and functional change of the bone-coating-prosthesis interface in vivo and to evaluate the histocompatibility of self-made prosthetic femoral components in the body and the degree of their bonding with the surrounding bone tissues as well as their stability. Six mature beagle dogs underwent bilateral hip replacement with prosthetic femur components. Three groups were established in terms of different coating of prothesis (four joints in each group): atmosphere (A) plasma-sprayed pure titanium (Ti) prosthetic joint with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating (HA+Ti+A group); vacuum (V) plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with HA coating (HA+Ti+V group); vacuum plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with Ti-HA stepped coating (Ti+HAG+Ti+V group). The hip joints were functionally evaluated, and subjected to X-ray examination, biomechanics inspection, and histological examination. As a result, X-ray imaging revealed all prosthetic joints were in a good location and no dislocation of joint was found. Shear strength of interface was significantly higher in Ti+HAG+Ti+V group than in HA+Ti+V group (P<0.05) and HA+Ti+A group (P<0.05) at 28th week. Histological examination showed the amount of newborn bone in Ti+HAG+Ti+V group was more than in HA+Ti+V group and HA+Ti+A group after 28 weeks. It was suggested that vacuum plasma-sprayed pure Ti prosthetic joint with TI-HA stepped coating could improve the bonding capacity of bone-prosthesis, enhance the stability of prosthesis, and increase the fixion of prosthetic femoral components because of better bone growth. This new type of biological material in prosthetic femoral components holds promises for application in clinical practice.

Abstract
The Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures evidence-based clinical practice guideline was codeveloped by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American Dental Association. This guideline replaces the previous AAOS Information Statement, "Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Bacteremia in Patients With Joint Replacement," published in 2009. Based on the best current evidence and a systematic review of published studies, three recommendations have been created to guide clinical practice in the prevention of orthopaedic implant infections in patients undergoing dental procedures. The first recommendation is graded as Limited; this recommendation proposes that the practitioner consider changing the long-standing practice of routinely prescribing prophylactic antibiotic for patients with orthopaedic implants who undergo dental procedures. The second, graded as Inconclusive, addresses the use of oral topical antimicrobials in the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections. The third recommendation, a Consensus statement, addresses the maintenance of good oral hygiene.

Abstract
BACKGROUND THA is a concern in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) owing to patients' youth, poor bone stock, and small physical size. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether (1) uncemented alumina-on-alumina THAs have good clinical and radiographic results at midterm followup in young patients with inflammatory arthritis and end-stage hip disease secondary to JIA, and (2) the anatomic center of rotation of the hip could be reconstructed in patients with acetabular protrusion. We also assessed the rate of surgical complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 31 alumina-on-alumina THAs in 21 patients with a mean age of 30.9 years (range, 14-48 years). Minimum followup until the time of revision of any component or the latest evaluation was 16 months. For nonrevised cases, the minimum followup was 60 months (range, 60-108 months). Acetabular protrusion was mild in 17 hips (Group 1) and moderate-severe in 14 (Group 2). Bone autograft was used to reconstruct the acetabulum in Group 2. Acetabular reconstruction was evaluated according to Ranawat et al. RESULTS One cup was revised owing to aseptic loosening at 16 months; the remaining hips showed good clinical and radiographic results. The mean postoperative horizontal distance and the distance between the center of the head of the prosthesis and the true center of the femoral head improved in Group 2. There were no complications related to alumina. CONCLUSIONS Although THA is a technically demanding procedure in patients with JIA, uncemented alumina-on-alumina THA provides pain relief and improves quality of life. In patients with acetabular protrusion, bone grafts enable anatomic cup positioning. Continued followup will be required to determine whether the alumina-on-alumina bearings in patients with JIA result in less osteolysis and loosening. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
The outcome and complications of 37 primary total hip arthroplasties by one surgeon in 24 patients with Charnley Class C juvenile idiopathic arthritis with up to 19.6 years follow-up are reported. Twenty-six femoral components were cementless; all acetabular components were cementless with screws. Age at operation averaged 22.6 years. Two patients (3 hips) have died. Twelve hips in 9 patients have failed. Six cementless acetabular components with conventional polyethylene were revised because of osteolysis after 5.5 to 14.5 years. All 3 cementless C2 femoral stems with minimal porous coating failed. One of eight cemented AML Bantam stems loosened at 3.5 years; 2 of 23 cementless AML Bantam stems loosened at 9.5 and 19.6 years. Pain relief and functional improvement are dramatic after total hip arthroplasty in juvenile idiopathic arthritis; however, the long-term outcome is guarded.

Abstract
Rheumatoid disease can be extremely debilitating due to progressive joint destruction and multiple joint involvement. While there are varying results for THR in patients with RA, there is only one report of metal-on-metal resurfacing for rheumatoid patients with hip arthritis. We present preoperative and latest follow-up UCLA scores, SF-12 scores, HHS and range of motion in a series of 13 hips (10 patients). The patients experienced no complications associated with their resurfacing procedure and there have been no failures 3 to 13 years after surgery. Our results show that rheumatoid arthritis patients with hip involvement treated with metal-on-metal resurfacing can have extremely good outcomes.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic disease of childhood; it causes joint damage which may require surgical intervention, often in the young adult. The aim of this study was to describe the long-term outcome and survival of hip replacement in a group of adult patients with JIA and to determine predictors of survival for the prosthesis. In this retrospective comparative study patients were identified from the database of a regional specialist adult JIA clinic. This documented a series of 47 hip replacements performed in 25 adult patients with JIA. Surgery was performed at a mean age of 27 years (11 to 47), with a mean follow-up of 19 years (2 to 36). The mean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index questionnaire (WOMAC) score at the last follow-up was 53 (19 to 96) and the mean Health Assessment Questionnaire score was 2.25 (0 to 3). The mean pain component of the WOMAC score (60 (20 to 100)) was significantly higher than the mean functional component score (46 (0 to 97)) (p = 0.02). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed a survival probability of 46.6% (95% confidence interval 37.5 to 55.7) at 19 years, with a trend towards enhanced survival with the use of a cemented acetabular component and a cementless femoral component. This was not, however, statistically significant (acetabular component, p = 0.76, femoral component, p = 0.45). Cox’s proportional hazards regression analysis showed an implant survival rate of 54.9% at 19 years at the mean of covariates. Survival of the prosthesis was significantly poorer (p = 0.001) in patients who had been taking long-term corticosteroids and significantly better (p = 0.02) in patients on methotrexate.

Abstract
We reviewed the results of 25 consecutive patients who underwent revision of a hip resurfacing prosthesis to a total hip replacement. Revisions were performed for recurrent pain and effusion, infection and proximal femoral fractures. Both components were revised in 20 cases. There were 12 male and 13 female patients with average time to revision of 34.4 and 26.4 months respectively. The mean follow up period was 12.7 months (3 to 31). All patients reported relief of pain and excellent satisfaction scores. Two patients experienced stiffness up to three months post operatively. Pre operative Oxford, Harris and WOMAC hip scores were 39.1, 36.4 and 52.2 respectively. Mean post operative scores at last follow up were 17.4, 89.8 and 6.1 respectively (p < 0.001 for each score). These results show that conversion of hip resurfacing to total hip arthroplasty has high satisfaction rates. These results compare favourably with those for revision total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
The long-term success of arthroplastic joints is dependent on the stabilization of the implant within the skeletal site. Movement of the arthroplastic implant within the bone can stimulate osteolysis, and therefore methods which promote rigid fixation or bone growth are expected to enhance implant stability and the long-term success of joint arthroplasty. In the present study, we used a simple bilateral bone defect model to analyze the osteogenic activity of three small-molecule drug implants via microcomputerized tomography (micro-CT) and histomorphometry. In this study, we show that local delivery of alendronate, but not lovastatin or omeprazole, led to significant new bone formation at the defect site. Since alendronate impedes osteoclast-development, it is theorized that alendronate treatment results in a net increase in bone formation by preventing osteoclast mediated remodeling of the newly formed bone and upregulating osteoblasts.

Abstract
We reviewed a series of 17 hip arthroplasties in 16 patients performed when the patients were 30 years old or younger who presented to us for consideration of revision. The mean age was 23.1 years (14 to 30) at the initial arthroplasty. At the time of the original procedure there were 4 sequelae of septic arthritis, 7 old traumatic hip injures, 3 cases of developmental dysplasia (DDH), 1 case of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 1 steroid-induced avascular necrosis, and 1 old slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) The implants inculded 11 total hip arthroplasties (THA), 3 double cup arthroplasties,1 bipolar arthroplasty,1 monopolar arthroplasty and 1 cup arthroplasty. The cause for revision lay on the acetabular side in 16 cases and on the femoral side in 6 cases (some had failure on both sides of the joint). There was one revision for recurrent dislocation. The patients had undergone a mean of 1.1 procedures (range 0-3) before the primary arthroplasty. There was a mean interval of 10.6 years (2-33)between the arthroplasty and the revision and the patients had a mean of 1.9 further revision procedures(0 to 4). Complications of revision surgery inculded 1 case of sepsis, 2 recurrent dislocations and 8 re-revisions. Postel and Merle d'Aubigne (PMA) score increased from 10.1 to 14.6 at an mean follow-up of 5.4 years (1 to 20). The typical patient was male (11/17) having had the first arthroplasty at age 23 for trauma sequelae (7/17), a revision at 34 (acetabular failure (16/17). At age 46.4, and after 1.9 secondary procedures hip scores were not exceptional. Such generally disappointing results arose from errors in implant selection or technical mistakes. Careful surgery is critical, and the way of life of the patient may need to be modified.

Abstract
The disadvantages of allografts to restore femoral bone defects during revision hip surgery have led to the search for alternative materials. We investigated the feasibility of using porous titanium particles and posed the following questions: (1) Is it possible to create a high-quality femoral graft of porous titanium particles in terms of graft thickness, cement thickness, and cement penetration? (2) Does this titanium particle graft layer provide initial stability when a femoral cemented stem is implanted in it? (3) What sizes of particles are released from the porous titanium particles during impaction and subsequent cyclic loading of the reconstruction? We simulated cemented revision reconstructions with titanium particles in seven composite femurs loaded for 300,000 cycles and measured stem subsidence. Particle release from the titanium particle grafts was analyzed during impaction and loading. Impacted titanium particles formed a highly interlocked graft layer. We observed limited cement penetration into the titanium particle graft. A total mean subsidence of 1.04 mm was observed after 300,000 cycles. Most particles released during impaction were in the phagocytable range (< 10 microm). There was no detectable particle release during loading. Based on the data, we believe titanium particles are a promising alternative for allografts. However, animal testing is warranted to investigate the biologic effect of small-particle release.

Abstract
Postoperative periprosthetic fracture is a rare but serious complication after joint replacement surgery. Due to poor bone quality, multiple joint involvement with the replacement of different joints and considerable comorbidity, the presence of rheumatoid arthritis is associated with a high risk of periprosthetic fractures. For the same reasons, periprosthetic fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be very difficult to treat, and their management often requires an interdisciplinary approach. On the basis of the current literature, the present work describes different aspects of the epidemiology of periprosthetic fractures, principles of their classification, different treatment options and the results of treatment of these fractures. Special attention is paid to the situation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
