Minimum 10-Year Survivorship of Uncemented Acetabular Reconstruction With Bulk Femoral Head Autografting in Crowe Type IV Developmental Hip Dysplasia. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:2542-2546. [PMID: 38735553 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.05.013] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In total hip arthroplasty (THA) for severe dislocations such as Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), sufficient bone volume for stable fixation of the acetabular component can be achieved by placing a reinforcing bone graft prepared from the resected femoral head into the deficient acetabulum. The purpose of the current study was to examine the long-term survivorship of uncemented THA in conjunction with a bulk femoral head autograft in patients who have Crowe type IV DDH. METHODS A total of 35 patients (42 hips) who have Crowe type IV DDH and underwent THA using uncemented cup fixation with bulk femoral head autografting were followed up for a mean period of 15.0 years (range, 10.0 to 20.0) postoperatively. Anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were used for measurements such as the horizontal coverage of the grafted bone and the center-edge angle. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analyses were performed with revision of the acetabular component as the endpoint. RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated 15-year survival rates of 90.4%. The mean horizontal coverage of grafted bone was 46.1% (range, 23.7 to 66.0), and there were 16 cases with horizontal coverage of ≥ 50%. There was no difference in the appearance of a thin (< 1 mm) radiolucency line around the cup between cases with < 50% versus ≥ 50% of the horizontal coverage of grafted bone (4 versus 2 hips; P = .446). Trabecular bridging and remodeling were seen in all cases after mean periods of 4.1 and 9.0 months postoperatively, respectively. Trabecular reorientation was seen in 41 of 42 hips (97.6%) at a mean follow-up of 19.9 months. CONCLUSIONS Acetabular reconstruction with femoral bulk bone grafting for Crowe type IV DDH resulted in high survival rates and was a good method to restore bone stock and obtain long-term fixation.

Abstract
Aims The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) was introduced in 1997 to address the needs of young active patients using a historically proven large-diameter metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing. A single designer surgeon's consecutive series of 130 patients (144 hips) was previously reported at five and ten years, reporting three and ten failures, respectively. The aim of this study was to extend the follow-up of this original cohort at 25 years. Methods The study extends the reporting on the first consecutive 144 resurfacing procedures in 130 patients for all indications. All operations were undertaken between August 1997 and May 1998. The mean age at operation was 52.1 years (SD 9.93; 17 to 76), and included 37 female patients (28.5%). Failure was defined as revision of either component for any reason. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. Routine follow-up with serum metal ion levels, radiographs, and Oxford Hip Scores (OHSs) was undertaken. Results Overall implant survival was 83.50% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.79 to 0.90) at 25 years, and the number at risk was 79. Survival in male patients at 25 years was 89.5% (95% CI 0.83 to 0.96) compared to 66.9% for female patients (95% CI 0.51 to 0.83). Ten additional failures occurred in the period of ten to 25 years. These involved an adverse reaction to metal debris in four patients, a periprosthetic femoral neck fracture affecting five patients, and aseptic loosening in one patient. The median chromium levels were 49.50 nmol/l (interquartile range (IQR) 34 to 70), and the median cobalt serum levels were 42 nmol/l (IQR 24.50 to 71.25). The median OHS at last follow-up was 35 (IQR 10 to 48). During the 25-year study period, 29 patients died. Patient survival at 25 years was 75.10% (95% CI 0.67 to 0.83). Conclusion This study demonstrates that MoM hip resurfacing using the BHR provides a durable alternative to total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly in younger male patients with osteoarthritis wishing to maintain a high level of function. These results compare favourably to the best results for THAs.

Abstract
Metallic cellular solids, made of biocompatible alloys like titanium, stainless steel, or cobalt-chromium, have gained attention for their mechanical strength, reliability, and biocompatibility. These three-dimensional structures provide support and aid tissue regeneration in orthopedic implants, cardiovascular stents, and other tissue engineering cellular solids. The design and material chemistry of metallic cellular solids play crucial roles in their performance: factors such as porosity, pore size, and surface roughness influence nutrient transport, cell attachment, and mechanical stability, while their microstructure imparts strength, durability and flexibility. Various techniques, including additive manufacturing and conventional fabrication methods, are utilized for producing metallic biomedical cellular solids, each offering distinct advantages and drawbacks that must be considered for optimal design and manufacturing. The combination of mechanical properties and biocompatibility makes metallic cellular solids superior to their ceramic and polymeric counterparts in most load bearing applications, in particular under cyclic fatigue conditions, and more in general in application that require long term reliability. Although challenges remain, such as reducing the production times and the associated costs or increasing the array of available materials, metallic cellular solids showed excellent long-term reliability, with high survival rates even in long term follow-ups.

Abstract
Background Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) leads to loss of bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral implants, particularly in the proximal area. Loss of BMD around the implant is likely to occur within 1 year after THA; however, its severity depends on patient characteristics. This study evaluated preoperative factors correlated with the severity of zone 7 BMD loss after THA. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 48 patients who underwent primary THA from October 2011 to December 2015. All patients underwent implantation of a Zweymüller-type femoral component without any postoperative osteoporosis medications. The objective variable was a change in zone 7 BMD after 1 year. Factors evaluated included age, body mass index, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, Harris Hip Score, Canal Flare Index (CFI), and lumbar BMD on the frontal and lateral sides. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses identified factors correlated with loss of zone 7 BMD. Results Univariate regression analysis identified CFI (P = 0.003) and preoperative lumbar BMD on the anterior-posterior (P = 0.003) and lateral (P < 0.001) sides as being correlated with loss of zone 7 BMD. Multivariate regression analysis identified CFI (P = 0.014) and lumbar BMD on the lateral side (P < 0.001) as being correlated independently with loss of zone 7 BMD. Conclusion Lower preoperative lumbar BMD on the lateral side and lower CFI were correlated with zone 7 BMD loss after THA. Patients with these characteristics should be monitored carefully for severe BMD loss after THA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The CentPillar stem (Stryker Orthopaedics), an anatomical short stem, was designed to match the proximal femoral canal shape in both patients with normal hips and those with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The long-term outcomes of the CentPillar stem was examined herein. METHODS In total, 222 hips that underwent total hip arthroplasty using the CentPillar stem were analyzed. DDH was the main reason for surgery (79.3%). Implant survivorship was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis. For radiographic evaluation, stress shielding was assessed using the Engh classification. For functional evaluation, patients' ability to perform deep hip bending activities (sit on the floor, squat, and sit straight) was assessed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 13.1 years, 2 stem revisions were performed (aseptic loosening and late hematogenous periprosthetic infection), and the overall cumulative implant survival rate was 99.0% at 15 years. In the radiographic evaluation, grade >3 stress shielding was found in only one hip. More than 80% of the patients were able to perform each of the three deep hip bending activities. CONCLUSIONS Good fixation at the proximal part of the femur was obtained, and the implant survival rate of the CentPillar stem was excellent during a long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) can induce bone mineral density (BMD) loss around the femoral implant. Several studies using drug have described methods to prevent BMD loss around implants following THA. Switching from teriparatide to alendronate was reported to increase lumbar BMD; on the other hands, it is unclear whether switching from teriparatide to alendronate is effective around the implant. The aim of this study is that changes in BMD is compared in patients switched from teriparatide to alendronate, in patients treated with alendronate alone, and in control patients without medication after total hip arthroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomized into three groups, those switched to alendronate after teriparatide (switch: n = 17), those receiving continuous alendronate (ALD: n = 15), and control untreated patients (control: n = 16) and followed up for 2 years after THA. Baseline periprosthetic BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 1 week after THA, followed by subsequent measurements at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Lumbar BMD was also evaluated at preoperatively, 1 and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Two years after surgery, BMD (%) at zone 1 was significantly higher in the switch group than in the control group (P = 0.02). BMD (%) at zone 7 was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than in the control group (P = 0.01, P = 0.03). Lumbar BMD (%) anterior-posterior (AP) side was significantly higher in the switch group than in the ALD and control groups 2 years after surgery. On the other hand, lumbar BMD (%) lateral side was significantly higher in the switch and ALD groups than control group 2 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Switching therapy had a significant effect on BMD of the lumbar spine and zones 1 and 7 at 2 years postoperatively. At zone 1 in particular, it was found to be more effective than ALD alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN, registry number UMIN000016158. Registered 8 January 2015.

The Accuracy of the Computed Tomography-Based Navigation System in Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Comparable With Crowe Type IV and Crowe Type I Dysplasia: A Case-Control Study. J Arthroplasty 2019; 34:2686-2691. [PMID: 31256919 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2019] [Revised: 05/27/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Crowe type IV are poorer than for Crowe type I, because it is more difficult to accurately position the acetabular components. This study aimed to examine the accuracy of the computed tomography (CT)-based navigation system for acetabular component positioning in primary THA for Crowe type IV. METHODS From 2006 to 2018, 29 patients who underwent 34 primary THAs for Crowe type IV were enrolled in the "Type IV" group and 32 patients who underwent 34 THAs for Crowe type I were enrolled in the "Type I" group, formed by matching patients in the Type IV group on age, gender, body mass index, and surgical approach. We investigated (1) the accuracy of the cup size between that at preoperative planning and that actually implanted and (2) the mean deviation of the cup angle and 3-dimensional position of acetabular components between preoperative plan and postoperative records. RESULTS The accuracy of the cup size was 79.4% and 94.1% in the Type IV and Type I groups, respectively, without a statistically significant change detected (P = .075). The mean deviations of the cup angle and 3-dimensional position were comparable in both groups. CONCLUSION Using the CT-based navigation system, it was possible to accurately implant the acetabular component for Crowe type IV, and the accuracy was comparable to that for Crowe type I. The CT-based navigation system is a useful intraoperative tool to accurately implant the acetabular component, especially with severe pelvic deformities such as Crowe type IV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was (i) to review the long-term outcome of cemented Charnley total hip replacements (THRs) performed by 1 surgeon (GH), 20 to 42 years ago, in patients ≥60 years, using both the Kaplan-Meier (KM) and the cumulative incidence (CI) methods, and (ii) to compare the estimations of the 2 statistical methods. METHODS We evaluated the outcome of 306 consecutive primary cemented THRs that were performed in 265 patients. The final clinical, radiographic assessment and satisfaction of living patients were also included. The survivorship was estimated with the use of KM and CI methods and the relative difference between their estimations was calculated. RESULTS Living patients' final clinical results were significantly improved in comparison with respective preoperative ones, and all the acetabular and 91% of femoral components considered as well fixed. 95% of these patients reported satisfaction. The risk of revision at 25 years, with revision for aseptic loosening for 1 or both components as the endpoint, with 21 hips at risk, assessed with KM analysis was 6.9% and with CI approach was 3.9%. The relative difference between KM and CI estimations was increasing during follow-up, reaching up to 76.8% at 25 years. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that fixation of implants with cement in older patients had satisfactory long-term results and can serve as a benchmark with which to compare newer fixation methods (hybrid and uncemented) and materials. However, KM method, in studies that include older population with long-term follow-up, may significantly overestimate the risk of revision and clinicians could consider using besides the cumulative incidence of competing risk method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term results of a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stem are sparse. We have followed a cohort of patients operated with a grit-blasted titanium stem designed for press-fit insertion and entirely plasma-sprayed with HA up to 28 years. METHODS In the years 1988-1993, we performed 323 primary total hip arthroplasties in 276 patients (189 women). Their mean age was 48 (15-79) years. During the following years, 83 patients with 88 hips have died, and 18 patients did not attend the follow-up examination, but had no major symptoms according to telephone interviews and control examination. Thus, 212 patients (255 hips) were followed up for more than 20 years. RESULTS Three patients were revised because of late periprosthetic infection, 1 because of a fall with periprosthetic fracture, and 2 stems were revised due to mechanical failure. Osteolysis was significantly associated with wear, and wear was significantly associated with the size of the femoral head. We found a small amount of proximal bone loss and a low incidence of distal hypertrophy of the bone. The bone changes confirmed a well-fixed femoral component in asymptomatic patients. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate an essentially physiological weight distribution from the stem to the femoral bone with no significant thigh pain. The changes in the bone confirmed that the femoral component was well-fixed, and we conclude that a fully HA-coated titanium stem designed for press-fit insertion lasts for 23-28 years.

Abstract
AIMS We present a minimum 20-year follow-up study of 382 cemented Exeter Universal total hip arthroplasties (350 patients) operated on at a mean age of 66.3 years (17 to 94). PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients received the same design of femoral component, regardless of the original diagnosis. Previous surgery had been undertaken for 33 hips (8.6%). During the study period 218 patients with 236 hips (62%) died, 42 hips (11%) were revised and 110 hips (29%) in 96 patients were available for review. The acetabular components were varied and some designs are now obsolete, however they were all cemented. RESULTS With an endpoint of revision for aseptic loosening or lysis, survivorship of the stem at 22.8 years was 99.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97.0 to 100). One stem was revised 21 years post-operatively in a patient with Gaucher's disease and proximal femoral osteolysis. Survivorship with aseptic loosening or lysis of the acetabular component or stem as the endpoint at 22.8 years was 89.3% (95% CI 84.8 to 93.8). With an endpoint of revision for any reason, overall survivorship was 82.9% (95% CI 77.4 to 88.4) at 22.8 years. Radiological review showed excellent preservation of bone stock at 20 to 25 years, and no impending failures of the stem. CONCLUSION The Exeter femoral stem continues to perform well beyond 20 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No study to our knowledge evaluated the long-term survivorship of the contemporary cemented vs cementless stems more than 25 years of follow-up in the same patients younger than 50 years of age. PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of the study is to determine (1) validated outcome scores, (2) prevalence of polyethylene wear and osteolysis, and (3) survivorship of the cemented vs cementless femoral components in the same young patients at minimum follow-up of 25 years. METHODS We report 171 patients (mean age, 47.7 years) at the time of the surgery who received simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty with a cemented stem in one hip and a cementless stem in the other (26.1-year follow-up). A cementless acetabular component was used in all hips. There were 125 men and 46 women. The mean age at the time of the arthroplasty was 47.7 ± 10.7 years (range, 21-50 years). RESULTS The average Harris hip scores were similar between the groups of cemented stem (mean, 91 points) and cementless stem (93 points). Survival rate of the acetabular component (79% vs 78%) and that of the femoral component (96% vs 95%) at 26.1 years were similar between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The long-term fixation of the acetabular metallic shell and cemented or cementless femoral stem was outstanding. Polyethylene wear and periacetabular osteolysis were contributing factors to reduce the long-term survival of the contemporary total hip arthroplasties with or without cement in young patients. New bearing surfaces such as ceramic on ceramic or ceramic on highly cross-linked polyethylene would improve wear of the bearing surfaces.

The Outcome of 241 Charnley Total Hip Arthroplasties Performed by One Surgeon 30 to 40 Years Ago. J Arthroplasty 2015; 30:1767-71. [PMID: 25956524 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2015.04.018] [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: 01/06/2015] [Revised: 04/08/2015] [Accepted: 04/13/2015] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
We present the outcome of 241 consecutive low friction arthroplasties (LFAs) performed by one surgeon (GH) 30 to 40 years ago. The overall survival rate at 30 years with revision for any reason or removal of the components as the end point was 53% (43.2-62.8%) when 40 hips remained in the study. Cox regression analysis for the possible risk factors of age, gender and diagnosis revealed higher risk of the overall failure in younger patients, and higher risk of failure due to loosening in younger patients and in those with congenital hip disease. Our follow-up study at 30 to 40 years following Charnley LFA can be used as a benchmark for comparison with the newer methods of total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncemented stems have been used in THA for well over two decades, but there are relatively few studies reporting on the results after 20 years. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to evaluate at a minimum followup of 20 years (1) hip scores; (2) radiographic findings, including stem fixation and osteolysis; (3) reoperations; and (4) survivorship free from aseptic loosening in a group of patients who underwent primary THA using a proximally porous-coated, plasma-sprayed, straight-stemmed, titanium-alloy femoral component. METHODS Between 1987 and 1993, we performed 1517 primary THAs, of which 447 were cementless, and 157 used the implant under study here (representing 10% of the THAs during the period in question). General indications for the use of the study stem included (1) younger age with relatively stronger bone (average age 55 years in this study); (2) patients not involved in another study protocol (as were the 278 other cementless hips implanted during this time); and (3) patients who, at the surgeon's discretion, would be compliant with protected weightbearing. Of those, 111 were available for followup at a minimum of 20 years (mean, 20 years), whereas 36 had died and nine (6%) were lost to followup or declined participation. The primary diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 77 hips (69%). The mean age at operation was 55 years. The clinical result was evaluated on the basis of the Harris hip score. Radiographic analysis was performed at each followup visit for distal cortical hypertrophy, spot welds, radiolucencies, stem subsidence, varus or valgus shift, osteolysis, and femoral component loosening. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the survival of the femoral component. RESULTS The mean Harris hip score improved from 46 points to 87 points (of a possible 100 points) at the most recent followup. All hips had evidence of proximal femoral remodeling consistent with osseous ingrowth. Femoral osteolyis was seen in 22 hips (20%). One stem was revised as a result of a periprosthetic fracture. No femoral component had evidence of loosening, and none was revised. Thirty-three acetabular components (30%) were revised. CONCLUSIONS This femoral component provided durable long-term fixation for over two decades after THA. The porous stem geometry is still in use today and will continue to be studied into the third decade of use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Press-fit, hydroxyapatite-coated acetabular cup designs may offer a lower incidence of loosening and migration than older designs. Our study evaluated the initial clinical and radiographic success of a cementless acetabular shell in a large cohort of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. We queried our institution’s prospectively collected registry for a series of 771 primary THAs (695 patients) implanted with this cup by 4 high-volume arthroplasty surgeons. Of the 613 hips with minimum 2-year followup, average HHS (Harris Hip Score) was 93.6, WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) was 87.6, and VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain score was 1.2. While there was a 2% reoperation rate (12 hips), none of the cups were revised for aseptic loosening. No radiolucencies were found and there was no evidence of acetabular loosening. At early followup, this newer cementless acetabular cup implant design exhibits high survivorship and clinical success.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncemented femoral components in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are commonly used today, but few studies have evaluated their survival into the third decade. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We evaluated (1) survivorship using femoral revision for any reason as the end point; (2) survivorship using femoral revision for aseptic loosening as the end point; and (3) patient-related and surgical risk factors for aseptic stem loosening at a minimum 20-year followup with an uncemented tapered titanium stem. METHODS We reviewed the clinical and radiographic results of 354 THAs in 326 patients performed between January 1985 and December 1989 using an uncemented grit-blasted, tapered titanium femoral stem. Mean age at surgery was 57 years (range, 13-81 years). Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was used to estimate long-term survival. Minimum followup evaluation was 20 years (mean, 22 years; range, 20-25 years); at that time, 120 patients (127 hips) had died, and four patients (five hips) were lost to followup. Multivariate survival analysis using a Cox regression model was performed. RESULTS Survivorship at 22 years with revision of the femoral component for any reason as the end point was 86% (95% confidence interval [CI], 81%-90%). Survivorship for femoral revision for aseptic loosening as the end point was 93% at 22 years (95% CI, 90%-96%). Undersized stems (canal fill index≤80%) and stems in hips with cup revision were at higher risk for aseptic loosening (hazard ratio, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively). There was a high rate of acetabular revision in this series (38%), mostly related to smooth-threaded, cementless sockets. CONCLUSIONS Uncemented femoral fixation was reliable into the third decade. Age, male sex, and diagnosis were not associated with a higher risk of aseptic loosening. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Total hip replacement in developmental dysplasia using an oval-shaped cementless press-fit cup. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2012; 36:1355-61. [PMID: 22382394 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-012-1510-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2011] [Accepted: 01/25/2012] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Acetabular roof deficiency due to subluxation of the femoral head (Hartofilakidis type II) increases the complexity of total hip arthroplasty. In these cases some form of support is usually required, to reach stable fixation of the acetabular component. Pursuing this aim, the oval-shaped cementless cranial socket could be an alternative to conventional treatment options. METHODS Between 1998 and 2008, 37 patients (40 hips) underwent primary total hip arthroplasty using the cranial socket (mean follow-up 5.6 years, range 26 to 133 months). In a retrospective study we compared these clinical and radiological results with the results of a matched control group consisting of 35 patients (40 hips) treated with a standard cementless hemispherical cup in combination with bulk femoral autografting (mean follow-up 6.9 years, range 30 to 151 months). RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the HHS (p=0.205) or the SF-36 (p=0.26) between both groups. There was no prosthesis failure due to septic or aseptic loosening. Time of surgery was significantly shorter in the cranial socket group (p<0.001). The acetabular component could be placed in the ideal rotational hip centre in 24 (60%) hips in the cranial socket group and 32 (80%) hips in the control group, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates, that the cranial socket can be an alternative treatment option for the reconstruction of acetabular deficiency in osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia.
