Integrated Acetabular Prosthesis Versus Bone Grafting in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Crowe Type II and III Hip Dysplasia: A Retrospective Case-Control Study. Orthop Surg 2024. [PMID: 39043609 DOI: 10.1111/os.14143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many methods of acetabular reconstruction with total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe type II and III adult developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) acetabular bone defect have been implemented clinically. However, there was no study comparing the results of integrated acetabular prosthesis (IAP) with bone grafting (BG). This study aims to investigate the efficacy of IAP and BG for acetabular reconstruction in Crowe type II and III DDH. METHODS The clinical data of 45 patients with unilateral Crowe type II and III DDH who underwent THA from January 2020 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups: 25 patients using 3D-printed IAP (IAP group) and 20 patients using BG (BG group). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. The clinical outcomes were assessed by Harris Hip Score (HHS) and full weight-bearing time. The radiological outcomes were evaluated by the radiological examination. Accordingly, intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed as well. The data between the two groups were compared by independent sample t-tests and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the two groups in Harris Hip Score (HHS) (preoperative, 6 months postoperative, and the last follow-up), leg length discrepancy (LLD), cup inclination, cup anteversion, vertical center of rotation (V-COR), horizontal center of rotation (H-COR) (p > 0.05). The mean HHS in the IAP group was higher than in the BG group at 1 and 3 months postoperative (p < 0.001). The mean surgical time and blood loss in the IAP group were less than in the BG group (p < 0.001). The mean full weight-bearing time in the IAP group was shorter than in the BG group (p < 0.01). No complications were observed in either group during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION IAP and BG have similar radiographic outcomes and long-term clinical efficacy in THA for Crowe type II and III DDH, but the IAP technique has higher surgical safety and facilitates the recovery of hip joint function, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:162-168. [PMID: 37557969 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether acetabular reconstruction techniques have any impact on clinical outcomes. This study aimed to determine (1) whether acetabular reconstruction techniques influenced the position of the acetabular cup and (2) whether clinical outcomes based on the acetabular reconstruction techniques differ in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with Crowe II to III developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 69 patients (74 hips) who were treated with cementless THA using medial protrusio technique (MPT) or structural autologous bone-grafting technique (SABT). There were 39 patients (41 hips) included in the MPT group and 30 patients (33 hips) in the SABT group. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS All patients were followed up for at least 3 years. There were similar results between the 2 groups in terms of blood loss, Harris hip score, leg length discrepancy, cup inclination, cup anteversion, and proportion of cup coverage (P > .05). The operative time was significantly longer in the SABT group compared with the MPT group (P < .001). The postoperative vertical center of rotation was significantly higher in the MPT group compared with the SABT group (P = .001), and postoperative horizontal center of rotation was significantly shallower in the SABT group compared with the MPT group (P < .001). CONCLUSION The MPT and SABT provide similar clinical and radiographic outcomes in the management of Crowe II to III developmental dysplasia of the hip by cementless THA. However, the MPT has the advantage of a shorter operative time, whereas the SABT is more conducive to placing the acetabular cup in an anatomic position.

The Validation of Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Radiographic Measurements of Host Bone Coverage in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Hip Dysplasia: A Comparison with Intra-Operative Measurements. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6227. [PMID: 37834870 PMCID: PMC10573884 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Several methods have been introduced to measure the host bone coverage of the acetabular component after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aims of this study were (1) to validate two-dimensional- and three-dimensional-based host bone coverage measurements by comparing intra-operative measurements, and (2) to determine the minimum host bone coverage for achieving stable cup fixation after THA in hip dysplasia. The clinical outcomes of each patient were evaluated during their final follow-up period using the Harris Hip score (HHS). The coverage of the host bone was analyzed by comparing 2D-based, 3D-based, and intraoperative assessments. The mean HHS was increased significantly from 60.84 ± 14.21 pre-operatively to 93.13 ± 4.59 (p < 0.0001). The host bone coverage ratio measured intraoperatively was 83.67 ± 3.40%, while the ratio measured by 3D CT reconstruction was 82.72 ± 3.59%. There was a strong positive correlation between the intra-operative host bone coverage and the 3D-based one (r = 0.826, p < 0.0001). It is recommended that 3D-based measurements are used to evaluate the host bone coverage after THA in patients with hip dysplasia. In addition, achieving a minimum host bone coverage of 75% is recommended for the attainment of stable cup fixation.

Biomechanical analysis and clinical observation of 3D-printed acetabular prosthesis for the acetabular reconstruction of total hip arthroplasty in Crowe III hip dysplasia. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1219745. [PMID: 37790252 PMCID: PMC10543228 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1219745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of 3D-printed integrated acetabular prosthesis (IAP) and modular acetabular prosthesis (MAP) in reconstructing the acetabulum for patients with Crowe III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The results of this study can provide a theoretical foundation for the treatment of Crowe III DDH in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: Finite element (FE) analysis models were created to reconstruct Crowe III DDH acetabular defects using IAP and MAP. The contact stress and relative micromotion between the acetabular prosthesis and the host bone were analyzed by gradually loading in three increments (210 N, 2100 N, and 4200 N). In addition, five patients with Crowe III DDH who underwent IAP acetabular reconstruction were observed. Results: At the same load, the peak values of IAP contact stress and relative micromotion were lower than those of MAP acetabular reconstruction. Under jogging load, the MAP metal augment's peak stress exceeded porous tantalum yield strength, and the risk of prosthesis fracture was higher. The peak stress in the bone interface in contact with the MAP during walking and jogging was higher than that in the cancellous bone, while that of IAP was higher than that of the cancellous bone only under jogging load, so the risk of MAP cancellous bone failure was greater. Under jogging load, the relative micromotion of the MAP reconstruction acetabular implant was 45.2 μm, which was not conducive to bone growth, while under three different loads, the relative micromotion of the IAP acetabular implant was 1.5-11.2 μm, all <40 μm, which was beneficial to bone growth. Five patients with IAP acetabular reconstruction were followed up for 11.8 ± 3.4 months, and the Harris score of the last follow-up was 85.4 ± 5.5. The imaging results showed good stability of all prostheses with no adverse conditions observed. Conclusion: Compared with acetabular reconstruction with MAP, IAP has a lower risk of loosening and fracture, as well as a better long-term stability. The application of IAP is an ideal acetabular reconstruction method for Crowe III DDH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Collarless-polished-tapered (CPT) stems have been widely used in total hip replacement (THR). Given that various types of cups are combined with CPT in clinical practice, however, what cup type performs the best for use with CPT is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of three types of commonly used cups with CPT on revision and survival life using multi-factor analysis. METHODS This study is a cohort study using the data between October 1998 to September 2021. The data of THR patients with ZCA All-poly Acetabular Cup, Continuum Acetabular System, and Trilogy Acetabular System with CPT were collected from several hospitals in the UK. The patients aged from 20 to 97 (n = 5981, 2345 male and 3636 female). Age, gender, body mass index, diagnosis, surgeon grade, cup material, cup size, surgical approach, survival life, complications, and Harris hip scores (HHS) were analyzed in relation to revision status. SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the relationship among various factors. The main statistical methods included chi-square with cross tables, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and survival analysis. RESULTS The results in relation to HHS shows that the continuum cup has the best outcome in the postoperative period of 1 and 5 years (1 year = 90.7, 5 years = 91.3; P < 0.001); the Trilogy cup was the second (1 year = 88.4, 5 years = 87.3; P < 0.001); and the ZCA cup was the third (1 year = 84.6, 5 years = 82.4; P < 0.001). However, the Trilogy cup performed the best regarding survival life on revision while the Continuum cup was the worst. CONCLUSION When the CPT stem is combined with different cups, the trilogy cup shows the best characteristics in terms of survival trends with revision ratios compared with the continuum and ZCA cups, and is therefore recommended by this study.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58091254. [PMID: 36143931 PMCID: PMC9503264 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58091254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Atraumatic intrapelvic protrusion of the acetabular component following excessive reaming of the acetabulum with a far medial positioning of the cup is a rare, but serious complication of a total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study analyzes the factors contributing to this uncommon complication and presents the outcome after the revision surgery using the Ganz reinforcement ring combined with a bone graft and plating of the posterior column and/or screws for the anterior column. Materials and Methods: A retrospective case series study with seven patients (four males, mean age 76 ± 10 years (60−86)) that underwent a revision THA within 24 ± 17 days (5−60) after an atraumatic periprosthetic acetabular fracture with a medial cup protrusion was performed. All fractures were reconstructed with a Ganz reinforcement ring and bone graft with a mean follow-up of 1.7 ± 1.7 years (0.5−5). Radiographs were evaluated for the following: (i) cup positioning immediately after the primary THA and the revision surgery, (ii) cup migration in the follow-up, and (iii) fracture healing. Results: The position of the acetabular component as assessed on the postoperative radiographs after the index surgery and before the complete medial cup protrusion showed a cup placement beyond the ilioischial line indicative of a fracture of the medial wall. The revision surgery with the reconstruction of the medial wall with a Ganz reinforcement ring combined with a bone graft restored in the presented cases the center of rotation in the horizontal direction with a statistical significance (p < 0.05). During the follow-up, there was no aseptic loosening with the relevant cup migration or significant change in the position of the acetabular cup at the final follow-up (p > 0.05) after the revision. All seven fractures and bone grafts realized a bone union until the latest follow-up. Conclusions: Following excessive reaming, the acetabular component was placed too far medially and resulted in an intrapelvic cup protrusion. An unstable cup following a fracture of the medial wall was evident on the immediate postoperative radiographs. In the case of the medial wall perforation with an intrapelvic cup protrusion after the primary THA, the reconstruction with a Ganz reinforcement ring was a successful treatment option resulting in the fracture healing and a stable cup positioning. Surgeons should be aware of that rare and probably underreported complication and restore the anatomic center of rotation by treating the defect intraoperatively.

Abstract
Background: This study was aimed at evaluating the changes in cup coverage (CC) and hip center of rotation (HCOR) in acetabular defects of various severities treated with acetabular revision using jumbo cups. Methods: A total of 86 hips were included. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) classification of these patients was as follows: 16 patients, AAOS I; 16 patients, AAOS II; and 16 patients, AAOS III. A three-dimensional (3D) implant simulation technique was used to visualize the placement of jumbo cups during revision arthroplasty. The acetabular anteversion, inclination, CC, and the HCOR were measured. Results: The inclination and anteversion of simulated acetabular cups in AAOS I–III groups were consistent with the normal acetabular anatomy. Compared with the controls, in AAOS I–III groups, the HCOR was significantly increased and CC was significantly decreased. The HCOR elevation was significantly higher in AAOS III patients than in AAOS I (p = 0.001) and AAOS II patients (p < 0.001). The use of the jumbo cup technology for acetabular revision would decrease the CC in AAOS I–III patients to 86.47, 84.78, and 74.51%, respectively. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that in patients with acetabular defects, acetabular revision arthroplasty using jumbo cups will lead to decreased CC and HCOR upshift. Upon classifying these patients according to the AAOS classification, CC decreased with the severity of acetabular defects, and the elevation of the HCOR in AAOS III patients exceeded 10 mm and was significantly higher than in other patients.

Abstract
The high hip center technique (HHC) is considered to be feasible for acetabular reconstruction in patients with DDH, but there is little in-depth study of its specific impact on Crowe type II and III DDH. The purpose of this study was to simultaneously analyze the effect of HHC on bone coverage of the cup (CC) in the acetabular reconstruction of type II and III DDH patients and to propose a map of acetabular bone defects from the perspective of the cup. Forty-nine hip CT data of 39 patients with DDH (Crowe type II and III) were collected to simulate acetabular reconstruction by cup models of different sizes (diameter 38mm–50 mm, 2 mm increment) with the HHC technique. The frequency distribution was plotted by overlapping the portions of the 44 mm cups that were not covered by the host bone. The mean CC of cups with sizes of 38 mm, 40 mm, 42 mm, 44 mm, 46 mm, 48 mm, and 50 mm at the true acetabula were 77.85%, 76.71%, 75.73%, 74.56%, 73.68%, 72.51%, and 71.75%, respectively, and the maximum CC increments were 21.24%, 21.58%, 20.86%, 20.04%, 18.62%, 17.18%, and 15.42% (P < 0.001), respectively, after the cups were elevated from the true acetabula. The bone defect map shows that 95% of type II and III DDH acetabula had posterosuperior bone defects, and approximately 60% were located outside the force line of the hip joint. Acetabular cups can meet a CC of more than 70% at the true acetabulum, and approximately 60% of Crowe type II and III DDH patients can obtain satisfactory CC at the true acetabulum by using a 44-mm cup without additional operations.
