Abstract
BACKGROUND Most primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed in the United States utilize cementless fixation with porous or hydroxyapatite (HA) coating. A previous meta-analysis comparing HA-coated versus non-HA-coated stems in primary THA published in 2013 found no significant difference between the 2. However, an updated analysis of the current literature is needed to assess the potential benefit of HA-coated stems in primary THA. METHODS Various libraries were searched through May 2022 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies included were randomized controlled trials comparing HA-coated femoral stems to non-HA-coated stems in primary THA. Outcomes included Harris Hip Score (HHS), endosteal bone formation, radiolucent lines, linear wear rate, revision for aseptic loosening, thigh pain, and heterotopic ossification. RESULTS There were significantly fewer revisions for aseptic loosening (P = .004) and decreased postoperative thigh pain (P = .03) for patients who have with HA-coated stems. There was no significant difference in HHS (P = .20), endosteal bone formation (P = .96), radiolucent lines (P = .75), linear wear rate (P = .41), or heterotopic ossification (P = .71) between HA-coated and non-HA-coated stems. CONCLUSION We found that HA-coated femoral stems in primary THA led to significantly fewer stem revisions for aseptic loosening and less postoperative thigh pain compared to non-HA-coated stems. These findings suggest HA-coated femoral stems should be preferred over non-HA-coated femoral stems in primary THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported excellent results with tapered, titanium, porous plasma-sprayed components in patients undergoing uncemented primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to examine survival and clinical results at a minimum 25-year follow-up. METHODS We reviewed all patients who underwent primary THA at our center through 1995 with a specific femoral component that was essentially unchanged since its 1984 introduction, except porous coating was continued circumferentially in 1987, a hydroxyapatite-coated option was offered in 1988, and an offset option was added in 1999. There were 332 patients (396 THA) who had a minimum 25-year follow-up (range, 25 to 37). Mean age at surgery was 48 years (range, 21 to 70 years). Mean follow-up in nonfailed patients was 29 years (range, 25 to 37 years). RESULTS There were 31 femoral revisions (7.8%): 9 infections, 3 failures of ingrowth, 5 aseptic loosening, 8 osteolysis well-fixed, 2 periprosthetic fractures, 2 polyethylene wear with trochanteric avulsion, 1 component breakage, and 1 malalignment well-fixed. Kaplan-Meier survival with the endpoint of all-cause stem revision was 94.8% (95% confidence interval: ±0.9%) at 37 years, and with the endpoint of aseptic loosening/failure of ingrowth was 98.7% (95% confidence interval: ±0.5) at 37 years. Harris hip scores improved significantly from 43 preoperatively to 76 most recently. CONCLUSION This tapered, titanium, porous plasma spray-coated femoral component continues to demonstrate high long-term survival with a low rate of femoral component revision for any reason or aseptic loosening/failure of ingrowth.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to compare the mid-term patient-reported outcome, bone remodelling, and migration of a short stem (Collum Femoris Preserving; CFP) with a conventional uncemented stem (Corail). METHODS Of 81 patients who were initially enrolled, 71 were available at five years' follow-up. The outcomes at two years have previously been reported. The primary outcome measure was the clinical result assessed using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS). Secondary outcomes were the migration of the stem, measured using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), change of bone mineral density (BMD) around the stem, the development of radiolucent lines, and additional patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding PROMs (median OHS (CFP 45 (interquartile range (IQR) 35 to 48); Corail 45 (IQR 40 to 48); p = 0.568). RSA showed stable stems in both groups, with little or no further subsidence between two and five years. Resorption of the femoral neck was evident in nine patients in the CFP group and in none of the 15 Corail stems with a collar that could be studied. Dual X-ray absorbiometry showed a significantly higher loss of BMD in the proximal Gruen zones in the CFP group (mean changes in BMD: Gruen zone 1, CFP -9.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) -14.8 to -4.2), Corail 1.0 (95% CI 3.4 to 5.4); Gruen zone 7, CFP -23.0 (95% CI -29.4 to -16.6), Corail -7.2 (95% CI -15.9 to 1.4). Two CFP stems were revised before two years' follow-up due to loosening, and one Corail stem was revised after two years due to chronic infection. CONCLUSION The CFP stem has a similar clinical outcome and subsidence pattern when compared with the Corail stem. More pronounced proximal stress-shielding was seen with the CFP stem, suggesting diaphyseal fixation, and questioning its femoral neck-sparing properties in the long term.

Abstract
Background and purpose - The anatomical uncemented stem, SP-CL (Static Physiologicus - CementLess), designed to facilitate insertion and to avoid stress concentration at solitary contact points, has been on the market since 2014 but is not well documented. We studied its clinical performance, migration, and associated bone remodeling in a randomized controlled trial, with the Corail stem as control. Patients and methods - 79 patients (80 hips) were primarily recruited and 71 patients (72 hips, 36 SP-CL, 36 Corail) attended the last follow-up at 2 years. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) was the primary outcome. In addition, we assessed stem migration, changes in bone mineral density, and development of radiolucencies by RSA, DXA, and conventional radiography. Results - At 2 years Oxford Hip Score was similar between the SP-CL and Corail stem. At 2 years the SP-CL stems showed a median distal migration of 0.23 mm (-0.1 to 5.2) and the Corail stems of 0.11 mm (-0.4 to 4.4). The SP-CL stems showed slightly more loss of bone mineral density in Gruen region 7 (p = 0.003). Interpretation - We found no difference in clinical results between the SP-CL and the well-documented Corail stem. The same stem stability was reached between 1 and 2 years postoperatively for both stems. As a next step we think that the SP-CL stem should be studied in a multi-center setting, before being accepted for general use.

Mid-Term Survivorship, Performance, and Predictors of Outcome in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty With a Porous Tantalum Femoral Prosthesis. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:1688-1694. [PMID: 33454150 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral stem subsidence is a known cause of early implant failure, increasing the risk for aseptic loosening and periprosthetic fracture. Overall survivorship and subsidence in a novel porous tantalum-coated femoral prosthesis have not been well-studied. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty with a porous tantalum-coated femoral prosthesis between January 2008 and January 2015 with minimum 5-year follow-up were included. Clinical and radiographic data were obtained from hospital and office records. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine predictors of subsidence and clinical outcomes. Kaplan-Meier survivorship curves were performed to illustrate primary failure endpoints of (1) all-cause revision and (2) femoral prosthesis revision. RESULTS A total of 398 patients with a mean (±standard deviation) age of 61.0 ± 11.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 32.8 ± 8.0 kg/m2, and follow-up of 6.9 (range 5.0-11.2 years) were included. Survivorship at 5 years was 94.9% for all-cause revision and 98.0% for femoral component revision. Average subsidence was 1.8 ± 1.3 mm (range 0-15.5), with 8.1% patients experiencing subsidence >5 mm. Statistically significant mean improvements were observed at latest follow-up in the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (40.6 ± 11.5 vs 85.2 ± 10.1, P < .001), Harris Hip Score (38.0 ± 12.0 vs 79.5 ± 12.8, P < .001), and hip flexion (92.8° ± 15.3° vs 103.3° ± 10.3°, P < .001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that greater BMI (odds ratio [OR] 1.17, P < .001), non-white/Caucasian race (OR 2.0, P = .036), and female gender (OR 2.4; P = .005) conferred a higher likelihood of subsidence >3 mm. BMI was a statistically significant and independent predictor of subsidence >5 mm (OR 1.25, P < .001) and subsidence >7 mm (OR 1.25, P < .001). CONCLUSION The trabecular metal taper femoral prosthesis conferred excellent clinical outcome improvement and survivorship. Increasing BMI was independently associated with an increased risk of subsidence in these patients and caution is recommended in utilizing this implant in obese, morbidly obese, and super morbidly obese populations.

Overview of Randomized Controlled Trials in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (34,020 Patients): What Have We Learnt? JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS GLOBAL RESEARCH AND REVIEWS 2020; 4:e20.00120. [PMID: 32852916 PMCID: PMC7417146 DOI: 10.5435/jaaosglobal-d-20-00120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Aim: To provide an overview of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in primary total hip arthroplasty summarizing the available high-quality evidence. Materials and Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA), we searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (2020, Issue 1), Ovid MEDLINE, and Embase. We excluded nonrandomized trials, trials on neck of femur fractures or revision surgery, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Trials that met our inclusion criteria were assessed using a binary outcome measure of whether they reported statistically significant findings. These were then classified according to the intervention groups (surgical approach, fixation, and component design use, among others). Results: Three hundred twelve RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were included. The total number of patients in those 312 RCTs was 34,020. Sixty-one RCTs (19.5%) reported significant differences between the intervention and the control groups. The trials were grouped into surgical approach 72, fixation 7, cement 16, femoral stem 46, head sizes 5, cup design 18, polyethylene 25, bearing surfaces 30, metal-on-metal 30, resurfacing 20, navigation 15, robotics 3, surgical technique 12, and closure/drains/postoperative care 13 RCTs. Discussion: The evidence reviewed indicates that for the vast majority of patients, a standard conventional total hip arthroplasty with a surgical approach familiar to the surgeon using standard well-established components and highly cross-linked polyethylene leads to satisfactory clinical outcomes. This evidence also offers arthroplasty surgeons the flexibility to use the standard and cost-effective techniques and achieve comparable outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently introduced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants have been linked with the early development of periprosthetic radiolucency (PPRL). The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective clinical and radiographical analysis of a consecutive series of a new TKA, and to assess the incidence and distribution of PPRL. METHODS A retrospective review of all new TKA implants performed by a single surgeon at a single hospital between March 2013 and October 2017 was performed. The minimum follow-up period was 3 months, with ongoing patient review at 6, 12 and 36 months. Sequential post-operative radiographs were performed to determine the presence of PPRL. RESULTS A total of 122 TKAs were identified in 112 patients over the 4.5-year study period. The average follow-up time was 21 months (range 3-51 months). PPRL was noted in 29 TKAs (23.8%). When comparing the PPRL group to those without PPRL, there was a difference in body mass index, with body mass index associated with an increased likelihood of PPRL (P = 0.003). There was no difference in constraint of implant (P = 0.818), cement type (P = 0.340), patella resurfacing (P = 0.286), age (P = 0.984) gender (P = 0.376) or initial mechanical axis deviation (P = 0.054) between groups. PPRL were most commonly seen in tibial anterior-posterior (AP) zone 1 and zone 2 (96.6%), followed by femoral lateral zone 5 (58.6%), tibia lateral zone 1 (55.2%) and tibial lateral zone 2 (53.2%). No patients have required revision surgery. CONCLUSION A high incidence of early PPRL is seen in patients undergoing primary TKA using a new implant system, mainly involving the tibial component. Ongoing clinical and radiological assessment for patients seems warranted based on these findings.

Effect of Denosumab on Femoral Periprosthetic BMD and Early Femoral Stem Subsidence in Postmenopausal Women Undergoing Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty. JBMR Plus 2019; 3:e10217. [PMID: 31687650 PMCID: PMC6820573 DOI: 10.1002/jbm4.10217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2019] [Revised: 06/21/2019] [Accepted: 06/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Antiresorptive denosumab is known to improve the quality and strength of cortical bone in the proximal femurs of osteoporotic women, but its efficacy in preventing periprosthetic bone loss and reducing femoral stem migration has not been studied in women undergoing cementless total hip arthroplasty. We conducted a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial of 65 postmenopausal women with primary hip osteoarthritis and Dorr type A or B proximal femur anatomy. The patients randomly received subcutaneous injections of denosumab 60 mg or placebo once every 6 months for 12 months, starting 1 month before surgery. The primary endpoint was the change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur (Gruen zone 7) at week 48, and the secondary endpoint was stem subsidence measured by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) at week 48. Exploratory endpoints included changes in BMDs of the contralateral hip, lumbar spine and distal radius, serum levels of bone turnover markers, walking speed, walking activity, patient-reported outcome measures, and radiographic assessment of stem osseointegration. The participants underwent vertebral-fracture assessment in an extension safety study at 3 years. Denosumab significantly decreased bone loss in the medial femoral neck (zone 7) and increased periprosthetic BMD in the greater trochanteric region (zone 1) and lesser trochanteric region (zone 6). Denosumab did not reduce temporary femoral stem migration. The migration occurred mainly during the settling period (0 to 12 weeks) after implantation of the prosthesis. All of the stems osseointegrated, as evaluated by RSA and radiographs. There were no intergroup differences in functional recovery. Discontinuation of denosumab did not lead to any adverse events. In conclusion, denosumab increased periprosthetic BMD in the clinically relevant regions of the proximal femur, but the treatment response was not associated with any reduction of initial stem migration. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Femoral neck preserving hip replacement has been suggested to improve clinical results and facilitate late revision. We compared the 2-year outcome and radiostereometric pattern of femoral head migration between the Collum Femoris Preserving (CFP) stem and the Corail stem. Patients and methods - 83 patients were randomized to either a CFP stem or a Corail stem. All patients received the same cup. At 2 years clinical outcomes were assessed using validated scoring systems and plain radiographs. 2-year migration was determined using radiostereometric analysis. Results - At 2 years the clinical outcomes (Oxford Hip Score, Harris Hip Score, SF-36, EQ5D-VAS, satisfaction VAS, and pain VAS) were similar between the 2 groups. The radiographic measurements showed that the femoral neck was resected around 1 cm more proximally with use of CFP stems (p < 0.001). The proximal-distal and medial-lateral migration of the femoral head center was similar. The Corail stem showed increased posterior displacement after 1 year, but no difference was found between the absolute translations in the anterior-posterior direction (p = 0.2). 2 CFP stems were revised due to loosening within the first 2 years. None of the Corail stems was revised. Interpretation - In the 2-year perspective clinical outcomes suggested no obvious advantages with use of the CFP stem. The magnitude of the early stem migration was similar, but the pattern of migration differed. The early revisions in the CFP are a cause of concern.

Bone Joint J 2016; 98-B:1333-1341.

Abstract
AIMS The widely used and well-proven Palacos R (a.k.a. Refobacin Palacos R) bone cement is no longer commercially available and was superseded by Refobacin bone cement R and Palacos R + G in 2005. However, the performance of these newly introduced bone cements have not been tested in a phased evidence-based manner, including roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this blinded, randomised, clinical RSA study, the migration of the Stanmore femoral component was compared between Refobacin bone cement R and Palacos R + G in 62 consecutive total hip arthroplasties. The primary outcome measure was femoral component migration measured using RSA and secondary outcomes were Harris hip score (HHS), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) and Short Form 36 (SF-36). RESULTS Femoral component migration was comparable between Refobacin bone cement R and Palacos R + G during the two-year follow-up period with an estimated mean difference of 0.06 mm of subsidence (p = 0.56) and 0.08° of retroversion (p = 0.82). Five hips (three Refobacin bone cement R and two Palacos R + G) showed non-stabilising, continuous migration; the femoral cement mantle in these hips, was mean 0.7 mm thicker (p = 0.02) and there were more radiolucencies at the bone-cement interface (p = 0.004) in comparison to hips showing stabilising migration. Post-operative HHS was comparable throughout the follow-up period (p = 0.62). HOOS, EQ5D, and SF-36 scores were also comparable (p-values > 0.05) at the two-year follow-up point. CONCLUSION Refobacin bone cement R and Palacos R + G show comparable component migration and clinical outcome during the first two post-operative years. Hips showing continuous migration are at risk for early failure. However, this seems to be unrelated to cement type, but rather to cementing technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Guidelines for standardization of radiostereometry (RSA) of implants were published in 2005 to facilitate comparison of outcomes between various research groups. In this systematic review, we determined how well studies have adhered to these guidelines. METHODS We carried out a literature search to identify all articles published between January 2000 and December 2011 that used RSA in the evaluation of hip or knee prosthesis migration. 2 investigators independently evaluated each of the studies for adherence to the 13 individual guideline items. Since some of the 13 points included more than 1 criterion, studies were assessed on whether each point was fully met, partially met, or not met. RESULTS 153 studies that met our inclusion criteria were identified. 61 of these were published before the guidelines were introduced (2000-2005) and 92 after the guidelines were introduced (2006-2011). The methodological quality of RSA studies clearly improved from 2000 to 2011. None of the studies fully met all 13 guidelines. Nearly half (43) of the studies published after the guidelines demonstrated a high methodological quality and adhered at least partially to 10 of the 13 guidelines, whereas less than one-fifth (11) of the studies published before the guidelines had the same methodological quality. Commonly unaddressed guideline items were related to imaging methodology, determination of precision from double examinations, and also mean error of rigid-body fitting and condition number cutoff levels. INTERPRETATION The guidelines have improved methodological reporting in RSA studies, but adherence to these guidelines is still relatively low. There is a need to update and clarify the guidelines for clinical hip and knee arthroplasty RSA studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the overall survival of knee and hip prostheses at ten years averages 90%, recent problems with several hip and knee prostheses have illustrated that the orthopaedic community, industry, and regulators can still further improve patient safety. Given the early predictive properties of roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) and the meticulous follow-up of national joint registries, these two methods are ideal tools for such a phased clinical introduction. In this paper, we elaborate on the predictive power of RSA within a two-year follow-up after arthroplasty and its relationship to national joint registries. The association between RSA prosthesis-migration data and registry data is evaluated. METHODS The five-year rate of revision of RSA-tested total knee replacements was compared with that of non-RSA-tested total knee replacements. Data were extracted from the published results of the national joint registries of Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. RESULTS There was a 22% to 35% reduction in the number of revisions of RSA-tested total knee replacements as compared with non-RSA-tested total knee replacements in the national joint registries. Assuming that the total cost of total knee arthroplasty is $37,000 in the United States, a 22% to 35% reduction in the number of revisions (currently close to 55,000 annually) could lead to an estimated annual savings of over $400 million to the health-care system. CONCLUSION The phased clinical introduction of new prostheses with two-year RSA results as a qualitative tool could lead to better patient care and could reduce the costs associated with revision total knee arthroplasty. Follow-up in registries is necessary to substantiate these results and to improve post-market surveillance.

Abstract
A number of cementless femoral stems are associated with excellent long-term survivorship. Cementless designs differ from one another in terms of geometry and the means of obtaining initial fixation. Strict classification of stem designs is important in order to compare results among series. Loosening and thigh pain are less prevalent with modern stem designs. Stress-shielding is present in most cases, even with newer stem designs.
