Abstract
Three-dimensional planning of hip arthroplasty is associated with better visualisation of anatomical landmarks and enhanced mapping for preoperative implant sizing, which can lead to a decrease in surgical time and complications. Despite the advantages of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA), it is considered a technically challenging procedure and associated with inaccurate implant placement. This study aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and usability of preoperative 3D Hip Planner software for HRA. Fifty random cases of various hip osteoarthritis severity were planned twice by two junior trainees using the 3D Hip Planner within a one-month interval. Outcome measures included femoral/cup implant size, stem-shaft angle, and cup inclination angle, and were assessed by comparing outcomes from 2D and 3D planning. An adapted unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) survey was used for software usability. Bland-Altman plots between 3D and 2D planning for stem-shaft and inclination angles showed mean differences of 0.7 and -0.6, respectively (r = 0.93, p < 0.001). Stem-shaft and inclination angles showed inter-rater reliability biases of around -2° and 3°, respectively. Chi-square and Pearson's correlation for femoral implant size showed a significant association between the two assessors (r = 0.91, p < 0.001). The 3D test-retest coefficient of repeatability for stem-shaft and inclination angles were around ±2° and ±3°, respectively, with a strong significant association for femoral implant size (r = 0.98, p < 0.001). Survey analyses showed that 70-90% agreed that 3D planning improved expectancy in four domains. 3D hip planner appears to be valid and reliable in preoperative HRA and shows significant potential in optimising the quality and accuracy of surgical planning.

Short to Midterm Follow-Up of Periprosthetic Bone Mineral Density after Total Hip Arthroplasty with the Ribbed Anatomic Stem. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:3085258. [PMID: 31346514 PMCID: PMC6620856 DOI: 10.1155/2019/3085258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2019] [Revised: 05/05/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Background Femoral bone remodeling around hip prosthesis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is definite but unpredictable in time and place. This study aimed to investigate the implant-specific remodeling and periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes after implantation of the Ribbed anatomic cementless femoral stem. Methods After power analysis, 41 patients who had undergone primary unilateral THA with the Ribbed anatomic cementless stem were included. BMD of the seven Gruen zones was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and the contact, fitness, and fixation of the femoral stem and proximal femur were analyzed by X-ray. Additional clinical outcome parameters were also recorded. Results Compared with the contralateral unoperated side, significant reductions of BMD were detected in the distal zone (Gruen zone 4: 1.665±0.198 versus 1.568±0.242 g/cm2, P=0.001) and middle distal zone (Gruen zone 5: 1.660±0.209 versus 1.608±0.215 g/cm2, P=0.026) on the prosthetic side, but no significant differences in BMD were detected in other zones (Gruen zones 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7). Subgroups analyses indicated no significant correlation between periprosthetic BMD changes and clinical factors including primary disease and body mass index. Visible areas of bone ingrowth indicated solid fixation of the femoral stem and there was no case of loosening. Clinical and functional outcome scores were excellent with mean HHS of 93.13 points and mean WOMAC score of 5.20 points, and three patients described intermittent mild thigh pain at the final follow-up. Conclusions For the Ribbed femoral stem, the periprosthetic BMD was well maintained in the proximal femur, while periprosthetic BMD was significantly reduced in the distal and middle distal zones of the femur. Further clinical investigations are required to examine the efficacy of the Ribbed stem, particularly with regard to long-term survival. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1800017750.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We studied whether acetabular bone mineral density (BMD) is better preserved after resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA) versus small diameter metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: This randomised controlled trial included 82 patients. BMD was measured in 5 periprosthetic regions of interest (ROI) with dual-energy absorptiometry (DEXA) preoperatively, at 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, 3 and 5 years postoperative. 34 RHA and 26 THA had a complete 5 years follow-up. 1 RHA and 1 THA were revised due to pseudotumour formation, 2 THA were revised because of recurrent dislocations and 1 RHA for avascular necrosis. RESULTS: Overall an initial decrease in BMD was observed for both implants, stabilising after 2 years. 5 years after RHA a BMD change of +1% in upper cranial, -4% ( p < 0.01) in cranial, -8% ( p < 0.01) in craniomedial, -7% ( p < 0.01) in medial and +4% in caudal ROI compared to baseline values was seen. 5 years after THA a BMD change of -3% ( p = 0.01), -13% ( p < 0.01), -21% ( p < 0.01), -11% ( p < 0.01) and -2% for each respective ROI. The observed BMD decrease in different regions was structurally favouring the RHA-cup, with significantly higher levels in the cranial and craniomedial ROI. CONCLUSION: Acetabular BMD is better preserved behind a rigid press-fit convex cup in RHA compared to a titanium threaded cup in conventional THA in the cranial and craniomedial ROI. Despite of a theoretical higher stress-shielding behind the stiff acetabular component in RHA, compared to the more elastic threaded titanium THA-cup, bone depletion behind the RHA component does not seem to be of major concern.

Abstract
AIMS Surface replacement arthroplasty (SRA), compared with traditional total hip arthroplasty (THA), is more expensive and carries unique concern related to metal ions production and hypersensitivity. Additionally, SRA is a more demanding procedure with a decreased margin for error compared with THA. To justify its use, SRA must demonstrate comparable component survival and some clinical advantages. We therefore performed a systematic literature review to investigate the differences in complication rates, patient-reported outcomes, stress shielding, and hip biomechanics between SRA and THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature was completed using MEDLINE and EMBASE search engines. Inclusion criteria were level I to level III articles that reported clinical outcomes following primary SRA compared with THA. An initial search yielded 2503 potential articles for inclusion. Exclusion criteria included review articles, level IV or level V evidence, less than one year's follow-up, and previously reported data. In total, 27 articles with 4182 patients were available to analyze. RESULTS Fracture and infection rates were similar between SRA and THA, while dislocation rates were lower in SRA compared with THA. SRA demonstrated equivalent patient-reported outcome scores with greater activity scores and a return to high-level activities compared with THA. SRA more reliably restored native hip joint biomechanics and decreased stress shielding of the proximal femur compared with THA. CONCLUSION In young active men with osteoarthritis, there is evidence that SRA offers some potential advantages over THA, including: improved return to high level activities and sport, restoration of native hip biomechanics, and decreased proximal femoral stress shielding. Continued long-term follow up is required to assess ultimate survivorship of SRA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prior investigations have shown a decrease in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) of the calcar following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this investigation was to study proximal femur BMD in a cohort of young, active patients following THA at 1 year postoperatively using a recently introduced stem design. METHODS: This was a prospective, IRB-approved investigation of patients with an age <65 years, BMI <35 kg/m2, and presymptomatic UCLA score of >6 undergoing a primary THA for a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. All patients received a titanium, proximally coated, tapered cementless femoral stem (ACCOLADE II, Stryker Inc, Mahwah, NJ, USA). Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scans were performed at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Bone density was analyzed for 7 traditional Gruen zones with BMD ratios calculated for change in BMD compared with the baseline. RESULTS: 31 patients (mean age of 52.6 + 6.5 years, BMI of 27.9 + 3.9 kg/m2, and UCLA activity score of 7.3 + 1.9) were included. The mean BMD ratio decreased at the 6 months and 1 year interval in zones 1 and 2. However, the mean BMD ratio was maintained in Gruen zones 3 thru 7 with zone 7 (medial calcar) demonstrating 100% maintenance of the baseline BMD at 1 year. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the maintenance of medial calcar bone density at 1 year postoperatively in young, active patients undergoing THA. Further longitudinal analysis of this stem design is necessary to elucidate the significance of this finding.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trabecular Titanium is an advanced cellular solid structure, composed of regular multiplanar hexagonal interconnected cells that mimic the morphology of the trabecular bone. This biomaterial demonstrated improved mechanical properties and enhanced osteoinduction and osteoconduction in several in vitro and in vivo studies. The aim of this study was to assess Trabecular Titanium osseointegration by measuring periacetabular changes in bone mineral density (BMD) with dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). METHODS 89 patients (91 hips) underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with acetabular Trabecular Titanium cups. Clinical (Harris Hip Score (HHS), SF-36) and radiographic assessment were performed preoperatively, and postoperatively at 7 days and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. DEXA analysis was performed only postoperatively, using the BMD values measured at 7 days as baselines. RESULTS After an initial decrease from baseline to 6 months, BMD increased and progressively stabilised in all 3 regions of interest (ROIs). Median (IQR) HHS and SF-36 increased from 48 (39-62) and 49 (37-62) preoperatively to 99 (96-100) and 86 (79-92) at 24 months, indicating a considerable improvement in terms of pain relief, functional recovery and quality of life. BMD patterns and radiographic evaluation showed evident signs of periacetabular bone remodelling and osseointegration; all cups were stable at the final follow-up without radiolucent lines, loosening or osteolysis. No revisions were performed. CONCLUSIONS After an initial reduction in periacetabular BMD, all 3 ROIs exhibited stabilisation or slight recovery. Although clinical outcomes and functional recovery proved satisfactory, longer follow-ups are necessary to assess this cup long-term survivorship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anterolateral (AntLat) surgical approach may spare the blood supply to the femoral head and improve the accuracy of cup positioning in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Thereby, potentially lessen complications such as avascular head necrosis, femoral neck narrowing and fracture, improve implant fixation, and lessen periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) loss. METHODS Between November 2008 and January 2012, a randomized clinical trial was performed at Aarhus University Hospital. A total of 49 patients (28 males) were allocated to metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty by the AntLat (n = 25) or the posterior (Post; n = 24) surgical approach. Patients were followed with radiostereometric analysis, measurements of periprosthetic BMD, clinical outcome scores of Harris hip score and visual analogue scale, serum metal ions, and conventional radiographs. RESULTS At 3 months, cups in the AntLat group had higher total translations of mean 1.00 ± 0.70 mm vs mean 0.64 ± 0.45 mm in the post group (P = .04), and higher total rotations of mean 2.44° ± 1.36° vs mean 1.39° ± 1.17° in the Post group (P = .002). All migrations of cup and stem were similar at 1 and 2 years postoperative (P > .07). At 1 year, periprosthetic BMD since postoperative at the medial side of the stem was reduced to mean 98.45% ± 8.57% in the AntLat group, and increased to mean 105.57% ± 11.07% in the Post group (P = .02), but measurements were comparable at 2 years (P = .05). CONCLUSION Cups inserted by the AntLat approach migrated more until 3 months postoperative. This illustrates a less good primary cup fixation with the AntLat approach; however, all cups were well-fixed after 3 months' follow-up indicating a good secondary fixation.

Abstract
Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the reference standard method used to study bone mineral density (BMD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the subtle, spatially complex changes in bone mass due to strain-adaptive bone remodeling relevant to different prosthesis designs are not readily resolved using conventional DXA analysis. DXA region free analysis (DXA RFA) is a novel computational image analysis technique that provides a high-resolution quantitation of periprosthetic BMD. Here, we applied the technique to quantitate the magnitude and areal size of periprosthetic BMD changes using scans acquired during two previous randomized clinical trials (2004 to 2009); one comparing three cemented prosthesis design geometries, and the other comparing a hip resurfacing versus a conventional cementless prosthesis. DXA RFA resolved subtle differences in magnitude and area of bone remodeling between prosthesis designs not previously identified in conventional DXA analyses. A mean bone loss of 10.3%, 12.1%, and 11.1% occurred for the three cemented prostheses within a bone area fraction of 14.8%, 14.4%, and 6.2%, mostly within the lesser trochanter (p < 0.001). For the cementless prosthesis, a diffuse pattern of bone loss (-14.3%) was observed at the shaft of femur in a small area fraction of 0.6% versus no significant bone loss for the hip resurfacing prosthesis (p < 0.001). BMD increases were observed consistently at the greater trochanter for all prostheses except the hip-resurfacing prosthesis, where BMD increase was widespread across the metaphysis (p < 0.001). DXA RFA provides high-resolution insights into the effect of prosthesis design on the local strain environment in bone. © 2017 The Authors Journal of Orthopaedic Research published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coxofemoral osteoarthritis is a chronic, disabling condition affecting people and dogs, with THA providing an excellent return to function in severely affected joints. The principal role of THA is to restore an adequate range of motion to the hip joint while transferring load from the acetabulum in order to improve the survival of the implant and enhance the limb function in the short and long terms. The objectives of the study reported here were, therefore, to radiographically evaluate periprosthetic acetabular bone GV and to assess prosthetic head acetabular coverage after 4 months of uncemented and cemented THA in dogs. Means periprosthetic acetabular GV for each and combined 3 regions of interest (zones 1, 2 and 3) were calculated immediately and 4 months after THA. Prosthetic head Norberg (PHN) angle was also measured to assess the degree of prosthetic head acetabular coverage after 4 months of surgery. RESULTS Zones 2 and 3 showed a significant increase in the mean bone GV after 4 months of uncemented THA. No differences in zones 1-3 after 4 months of cemented THA. Combined zones showed a significant increase in overall mean bone GV 4 months after uncemented THA; whereas, no changes were identified after 4 months of cemented THA. The PHN angles did not change after 4 months of uncemented and cemented THA and did not differ significantly between the 2 designs of hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSIONS Regional periprosthetic acetabular bone GV varies with the design of THA. None of the designs showed periprosthetic acetabular bone lucency. No differences identified in the degree of prosthetic head acetabular coverage in both designs, indicating proper implant stability after 4 months of surgery. Further longer-term investigation on larger population is however still warranted.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE There are concerns about increased mortality in patients with metal-on-metal bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA). OBJECTIVE To determine the mortality and the morbidity in patients with metal-on-metal articulations (MOM THA) compared to patients with non-metal-on-metal articulations (non-MOM THA) after primary total hip arthroplasty. DATA SOURCES Search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane, CINAHL, AcademicSearchPremier, ScienceDirect, Wiley and clinical trial registers through March 2015, augmented by a hand search of references from the included articles. No language restrictions were applied. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers screened and identified randomised controlled trials and observational studies of primary total hip arthroplasty comparing MOM THA with non-MOM THA. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers independently extracted study data and assessed risk of bias. Risk differences (RD) were calculated with random effect models. Meta-regression was used to explore modifying factors. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Difference in mortality and difference in morbidity expressed as revisions and medical complications between patients with MOM THA and non-MOM THA. RESULTS Forty-seven studies were included, comprising 4,000 THA in randomised trials and over 500,000 THA in observational studies. For mortality, random effects analysis revealed a higher pooled RD of 0.7%, 95%, confidence interval (CI) [0.0%, 2.3%], I-square 42%; the heterogeneity was explained by differences in follow-up. When restricted to studies with long term follow-up (i.e. 10 years or more), the RD for mortality was 8.5%, 95%, CI [5.8%, 11.2%]; number needed to treat was 12. Further subgroup analyses and meta-regression random effects models revealed no evidence for other moderator variables (study level covariates, e.g. resurfacing vs. non-resurfacing MOM) than follow-up duration. The quality of the evidence presented in this meta-analysis was characterized as moderate according to the CLEAR-NPT (for non-pharmacological trials) and Cochrane risk of bias Table. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Meta-analysis suggests there may be an increased long-term risk of mortality and revision surgery for patients with MOM THA compared to patients with non-MOM THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trabecular properties in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) are altered for bone volume and structure in the femoral head and proximal femoral canal. We analysed the periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) as a correlate to bony ingrowth in patients with ONFH who received a cementless THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a matched-pair analysis of 100 patients with ONFH (n = 50) and primary osteoarthritis (n = 50) who received the same, unilateral cementless THA. We compared the periprosthetic BMD 5 years after surgery by means of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) analysing the seven femoral regions of interest (ROIs) according to Gruen. RESULTS Within the ONFH group, significantly lower BMD values were found in the ROI 1 and 7 (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found for ROIs 2-6. CONCLUSIONS An altered periprosthetic bone stock in the proximal femur in patients with prior ONFH might be a possible risk factor for premature loosening of the femoral stem in THA. Surgeons need to consider coating and fixation philosophy of cementless implants when choosing the right stem for patients with ONFH.

Abstract
The primary purpose of this study of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacing was to compare the effect of using a cementless or cemented femoral component on the subsequent bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck. This was a single-centre, prospective, double-blinded control trial which randomised 120 patients (105 men and 15 women) with a mean age of 49.4 years (21 to 68) to receive either a cemented or cementless femoral component. Follow-up was to two years. Outcome measures included total and six-point region-of-interest BMD of the femoral neck, radiological measurements of acetabular inclination, neck-shaft and stem-shaft angles, and functional outcome scores including the Harris hip score, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and the University of California at Los Angeles activity scale. In total, 17 patients were lost to follow-up leaving 103 patients at two years. There were no revisions in the cementless group and three revisions (5%) in the cemented group (two because of hip pain and one for pseudotumour). The total BMD was significantly higher in the cementless group at six months (p < 0.001) and one year (p = 0.01) than in the cemented group, although there was a loss of statistical significance in the difference at two years (p = 0.155). All patient outcomes improved significantly: there were no significant differences between the two groups. The results show better preservation of femoral neck BMD with a cementless femoral component after two years of follow-up. Further investigation is needed to establish whether this translates into improved survivorship.

Abstract
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is an alternative to conventional, stemmed total hip arthroplasty (THA). The best reported results are young, active patients with good bone stock and a diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Since the 1990s, metal-on-metal (MoM) HRA has achieved excellent outcomes when used in the appropriate patient population. Concerns regarding the metal-on-metal bearing surface including adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) to metal debris have recently lead to a decline in the use of this construct. The current paper aims to provide an updated review on HRA, including a critical review of the most recent literature on HRA.

Difference in periprosthetic acetabular bone mineral density: Prior total hip arthroplasty: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head versus primary osteoarthritis. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2015; 101:797-801. [PMID: 26454412 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2015.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2015] [Revised: 08/14/2015] [Accepted: 08/25/2015] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) could be associated with a higher failure rate in patients after osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) compared to a patient population with primary osteoarthritis prior THA, especially regarding the acetabular component. One major reason could be the compromised acetabular bone quality. Therefore, we performed a retrospective case matched study to assess: 1) Is there a difference in periprosthetic bone mineral density between patients with an ONFH prior THA and controls? 2) Do patients with an ONFH prior THA have a lower bone mineral density compared to controls? 3) Which region in the periprosthetic bone stock is more likely to present differences in periprosthetic bone mineral density between both groups? HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that there is a poorer bone mineral density (BMD) in the periacetabular bone stock in patients with an ONFH prior THA compared to controls receiving a THA due to primary osteoarthritis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We compared the BMD of 50 patients with ONFH to 50 controls with primary osteoarthritis prior THA using the same implant in mean 5 years after surgery by means of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We analysed 3 acetabular ROIs according to DeLee and Charnley in a modified measurement technique. RESULTS In ROI 3, representing acetabulum's upper aspect, statistically significant lower BMD values for the ONFH group could be found (P < 0.05). No difference was found for the modified ROIs 1 and 2 (respectively medial and lower acetabulum). DISCUSSION The results indicate a poorer periacetabular BMD in patients with ONFH prior THA, which might be responsible for premature loosening of the acetabular cup in THA. Due to a lack of literature, further clinical investigations are required to confirm our results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: retrospective case-control study.

Abstract
We perform a non-randomized, consecutive pilot study on the ASR and ReCap resurfacing hip implants and have completed 7 years follow-up. Forty-six non-osteoporotic patients with hip osteoarthritis and anatomical conditions suitable for resurfacing were divided into 2 equal groups and operated sequentially, starting with the ASR implants. Sixteen patients operated with ASR and 19 patients with ReCap have been followed-up. There were no significant differences between the two groups preoperatively as to physical function, pain, or femoral BMD. The serum concentrations of cobalt and chromium were higher in the ASR group from 1/2 to 7 years postoperatively. Five of 16 ASR implants have been revised, and none of the ReCap implants. BMD below the femoral component increased in both groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this investigation was to compare clinical outcome, component loosening, polyethylene cup wear and periprosthetic bone mineral density between "cup first" navigated and conventional cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) 5-7 years after surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients who received THA with (n = 25) or without (n = 25) the use of an image-free navigation system by a single surgeon were investigated after a mean follow-up of 6.4 (4.8-7.4) years. The Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) were obtained; range-of-motion (ROM) was evaluated by a blinded examiner. Radiographic cup inclination, signs of radiographic loosening and polyethylene wear were analysed with the help of digital analysis software on anterio-posterior radiographs by a blinded examiner. Acetabular and femoral periprosthetic bone density was evaluated with the help of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS We were unable to find any statistical significant or clinically relevant difference for the HOOS, HHS, ROM and polyethylene wear between the navigated and the conventional THA group 5-7 years after surgery. Cup inclination was more precise in the navigated THA group in relation to the target value of 45°. CONCLUSIONS Standard "cup first" THA navigation does not improve mid-term functional outcome, bony ingrowth and/or polyethylene wear. New concepts in computer-assisted THA, considering cup and stem as coupled biomechanical partners are needed to justify the effort of navigation in routine operations.

Abstract
We studied whether bone mineral density (BMD) is preserved without significant femoral neck narrowing (FNN) after hip resurfacing (RHA) (n=42) versus small diameter metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (MoM THA) (n=40). In this three to five year randomized trial BMD was measured in the calcar with dual energy absorptiometry (DXA) preoperatively, at three and six months, one, two, three and five years postoperatively. Four additional BMD regions of interest (ROIs) and femoral neck narrowing (FNN) were measured after RHA. BMD in the calcar increased to 107% (P<0.001) at one year and remained stable. Additional ROIs in the femoral neck and trochanter-area BMD changes fluctuated between 99.9% and 104.1%. FNN was minimal with a mean of 1.3% at three years. After THA BMD decreased in the calcar to 80% at one year (P<0.001) and stabilized. This bone stock preserving nature of RHA must be weighed against potential disadvantages caused by specific metal-on-metal bearing problems.

Abstract
Information on periprosthetic acetabular bone density is lacking for metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties. These bearings use cobalt-chromium instead of titanium acetabular components, which could lead to stress shielding and hence periprosthetic bone loss. Cobalt and chromium ions have detrimental effects on bone. It is unknown whether serum metal ion levels affect bone density clinically. We compared cementless large femoral head (mean 48 mm) metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasties (M2a-Magnum, Biomet) to cementless 28 mm metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties (Mallory-Head, Biomet) in a randomised clinical trial. We evaluated periprosthetic acetabular bone density and serum metal ion levels at 1 year postoperatively. Acetabular bone density was analyzed with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in four horizontal regions of interest in 70 patients. After one year, acetabular bone density decreased (-3.5% to -7.8%) in three of four regions of interest in metal-on-polyethylene patients, but was retained in metal-on-metal patients. Bone density preservation was most pronounced superior to the metal-on-metal cup (+1% versus -3.7%). Serum cobalt, chromium and titanium ion levels were not related to bone density, nor to acetabular inclination or femoral head size. Oxford and Harris hip scores were similar in both groups. Contrary to our hypothesis, acetabular bone density was retained with metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty, compared to metal-on-polyethylene arthroplasty. Bone preservation was most pronounced in the area superior to the cup. This could be a benefit during future revision surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine if a new titanium cup with increased porosity resulted in different periacetabular bone loss and migration compared to a porous coated cup. METHODS Fifty-one patients with primary hip osteoarthritis were randomized to either a cup with porous titanium construct backside (porous titanium group, n = 25) or a conventional porous coated titanium cup (control group, n = 26). The primary outcome variable was change in periacetabular bone mineral density two years after surgery measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Secondary outcomes were implant fixation measured with radiostereometry (RSA) and clinical outcome scores. RESULTS The pattern of bone remodelling was similar in the two groups with almost complete restoration to baseline values. BMD diminished in the two proximal zones and increased in the two distal zones. After minimal migration up to six months all implants in both groups became stable. We found no difference between the two groups in clinical outcome scores. CONCLUSIONS In this prospective, randomized, controlled trial on a new porous titanium cup we found, compared to the control group, no clinically relevant differences regarding periacetabular bone preservation, implant fixation or clinical outcome up to two years postoperatively.

Abstract
Due to the well-documented problems surrounding metal-on-metal bearings, the use of hip resurfacing has declined. Since the potential benefits of hip resurfacing remain desirable, it may be beneficial to investigate the long-term outcome of hip resurfacings using metal-on-polyethylene in the 1980's. We report the long-term survivorship and modes of failure of a cementless metal-on-polyethylene resurfacing (n = 178) with different porous ingrowth surfaces. While acetabular loosening was absent, a high incidence of femoral failures (femoral loosening = 18.1%, osteolytic neck fracture = 21%) occurred despite using the same ingrowth surface for both components. Ongoing developments using the lessons learned from these previous generation components and utilizing modern low wear materials, e.g., cross-linked polyethylene, may lead to improved implants for future hip resurfacings.

Abstract
Periprosthetic bone remodeling is frequently observed after total hip replacement. Reduced bone density increases the implant and bone fracture risk, and a gross loss of bone density challenges fixation in subsequent revision surgery. Computational approaches allow bone remodeling to be predicted in agreement with the general clinical observations of proximal resorption and distal hypertrophy. However, these models do not reproduce other clinically observed bone density trends, including faster stabilizing mid-stem density losses, and loss-recovery trends around the distal stem. These may resemble trends in postoperative joint loading and activity, during recovery and rehabilitation, but the established remodeling prediction approach is often used with identical pre- and postoperative load and activity assumptions. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of pre- to postoperative changes in activity and loading upon the predicted progression of remodeling. A strain-adaptive finite element model of a femur implanted with a cemented Charnley stem was generated, to predict 60 months of periprosthetic remodeling. A control set of model input data assumed identical pre- and postoperative loading and activity, and was compared to the results obtained from another set of inputs with three varying activity and load profiles. These represented activity changes during rehabilitation for weak, intermediate and strong recoveries, and pre- to postoperative joint force changes due to hip center translation and the use of walking aids. Predicted temporal bone density change trends were analyzed, and absolute bone density changes and the time to homeostasis were inspected, alongside virtual X-rays. The predicted periprosthetic bone density changes obtained using modified loading inputs demonstrated closer agreement with clinical measurements than the control. The modified inputs also predicted the clinically observed temporal density change trends, but still under-estimated density loss during the first three postoperative months. This suggests that other mechanobiological factors have an influence, including the repair of surgical micro-fractures, thermal damage and vascular interruption. This study demonstrates the importance of accounting for pre- to postoperative changes in joint loading and patient activity when predicting periprosthetic bone remodeling. The study's main weakness is the use of an individual patient model; computational expense is a limitation of all previously reported iterative remodeling analysis studies. However, this model showed sufficient computational efficiency for application in probabilistic analysis, and is an easily implemented modification of a well-established technique.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To quantify and compare peri-acetabular bone mineral density (BMD) between a monoblock acetabular component using a metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing and a modular titanium shell with a polyethylene (PE) insert. The secondary outcome was to measure patient-reported clinical function. METHODS A total of 50 patients (25 per group) were randomised to MoM or metal-on-polyethlene (MoP). There were 27 women (11 MoM) and 23 men (14 MoM) with a mean age of 61.6 years (47.7 to 73.2). Measurements of peri-prosthetic acetabular and contralateral hip (covariate) BMD were performed at baseline and at one and two years' follow-up. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, Harris hip score, and RAND-36 were also completed at these intervals. RESULTS At two years, only zone 1 showed a loss in BMD (-2.5%) in MoM group compared with a gain in the MoP group (+2.2%). Zone 2 showed loss in both groups (-2.2% for MoM; -3.9% for MoP) and zones 3 and 4 a gain in both groups (+0.1% for MoM; +3.3% for MoP). No other between-group differences were detected. When adjusting for BMD of the contralateral hip, no differences in BMD were observed. The only significant differences in functional scores at two years were higher UCLA activity (7.3 (sd 1.2) vs 6.1 (sd 1.5); p = 0.01) and RAND-36 physical function (82.1 (sd 13.0) vs 64.5 (sd 26.4); p = 0.02) for MoM bearings versus MoP. One revision was performed in the MoM group, for aseptic acetabular loosening at 11 months. CONCLUSIONS When controlling for systemic BMD, there were no significant differences between MoM and MoP groups in peri-acetabular BMD. However, increasing reports of adverse tissue reactions with large head MoM THR have restricted the use of the monoblock acetabular component to resurfacing only.
