EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2024; 34:863-867. [PMID: 37743391 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03734-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare short-term complications and readmission rates, in patients treated with simultaneous versus staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) within a year from the index procedure. METHODS We reviewed the charts of patients that underwent simultaneous and staged-within a year-bilateral THA, between 2016 and 2020. Preoperative baseline characteristics were evaluated, while differences in terms of 30-day major and 30-day minor complications and readmission rates were compared between the groups. RESULTS One-hundred-sixty patients (mean age, 64.3 years; SD, ± 11.7) were identified. Seventy-nine patients were treated with simultaneous (Group A) and eighty-one patients with staged (Group B) THA. There were no differences in baseline characteristic between the two groups (p > 0.050). Group A was more likely to receive general anesthesia (43% vs. 9.9%, p < 0.001) and had longer total operative time (182.8 vs. 128.0 min, p < 0.001). Group A had an overall shorter total length of hospital stay (5.8 vs. 8.6 days, p < 0.001). No differences in transfusion rates (p = 0.229) and no differences in major and minor complications (p > 0.05) were identified. Postoperative visits at the emergency department or readmissions were similar between the two groups (p > 0.050). CONCLUSION This study shows that similar complication and readmission rates are expected after simultaneous and staged THA. Simultaneous bilateral THA is a safe and effective procedure, that should be considered for patients that present with radiologic and clinical bilateral hip disease.

Key Components, Current Practice and Clinical Outcomes of ERAS Programs in Patients Undergoing Orthopedic Surgery: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:4222. [PMID: 35887986 PMCID: PMC9322698 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have led to improvements in outcomes in several surgical fields, through multimodal optimization of patient pathways, reductions in complications, improved patient experiences and reductions in the length of stay. However, their use has not been uniformly recognized in all orthopedic fields, and there is still no consensus on the best implementation process. Here, we evaluated pre-, peri-, and post-operative key elements and clinical evidence of ERAS protocols, measurements, and associated outcomes in patients undergoing different orthopedic surgical procedures. A systematic literature search on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection databases was conducted to identify clinical studies, from 2012 to 2022. Out of the 1154 studies retrieved, 174 (25 on spine surgery, 4 on thorax surgery, 2 on elbow surgery and 143 on hip and/or knee surgery) were considered eligible for this review. Results showed that ERAS protocols improve the recovery from orthopedic surgery, decreasing the length of hospital stays (LOS) and the readmission rates. Comparative studies between ERAS and non-ERAS protocols also showed improvement in patient pain scores, satisfaction, and range of motion. Although ERAS protocols in orthopedic surgery are safe and effective, future studies focusing on specific ERAS elements, in particular for elbow, thorax and spine, are mandatory to optimize the protocols.

Impacts of the perioperative fast track surgery concept on the physical and psychological rehabilitation of total hip arthroplasty: A prospective cohort study of 348 patients. Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e26869. [PMID: 34397901 PMCID: PMC8360473 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000026869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Studies have shown that rapid rehabilitation surgery has a positive effect on recovery after major orthopedic surgery. However, very few studies have examined the impact of fast track surgery on physical and psychological rehabilitation in patients who have undergone total hip replacement.This study aimed to investigate the value of the rapid rehabilitation surgical model for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty during the perioperative period.We conducted a prospective cohort study that included patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2018. We divided the patients into 2 groups - the rapid rehabilitation group and the conventional rehabilitation group - and compared their length of hospital stay, time to off-bed activity, pain score, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores, Self-Rating Depression Scale scores, complication rate, and rate of satisfaction during hospitalization.A total of 348 patients were included in the study. Of these, 180 received rapid rehabilitation nursing and 168 patients received conventional nursing. Compared with the patients in the conventional rehabilitation group, those in the rapid rehabilitation group had shorter hospital stays (11.5 ± 1.2 day vs 15.5 ± 2.3 day, P = .021), resumed off-bed activities sooner (20.5 ± 3.4 hours vs 61.8 ± 4.7 hours, P = .001, had less postoperative pain (4.0 ± 1.2 vs 6.5 ± 1.1, P < .001), and lower anxiety and depression scores (anxiety score: 24.4 ± 2.1 vs 47.9 ± 2.9; depression score: 25.8 ± 1.8 vs 43.7 ± 1.7, P < .001).The application of rapid rehabilitation surgery in total hip arthroplasty can accelerate patients' postoperative recovery, relieve anxiety and depression, and increase the patient's satisfaction with the treatment.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:537-541. [PMID: 32839059 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.07.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate early postoperative surgical and medical complications in patients undergoing staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and determine if the interval to the second stage influences the risk of complications. METHODS A retrospective review was performed from 2016 through 2018 of all staged bilateral primary TKA procedures, yielding a cohort of 1005 patients (2010 TKAs). Four groups were created based on the timing of the second stage: 3 to 6 weeks, 7 to 12 weeks, 13 to 24 weeks, and >24 weeks. Clinical data compared between groups included demographics, knee range of motion, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, Knee Society pain score, Knee Society clinical score, and Knee Society functional score. Postoperative complications within 90 days were evaluated, with complications after the second knee being the primary outcome. RESULTS The mean follow-up after second stage was 10.7 months (range, 3 to 37 months). No significant differences were found between groups in the range of motion, Knee Society pain, Knee Society clinical score, Knee Society functional score, or University of California Los Angeles activity score in either the first or second knee. After the first knee surgery, medical complications were highest in the >24-week group. After the second knee, there were no significant difference in manipulation (P = .9), wound complications (P = .7), venous thromboembolism (P = .8), or other medical complications (P = 1) based on the interval duration. CONCLUSION The interval between staged TKA did not affect early medical or surgical complications after the second stage. Early clinical and function results were not different based on timing of the second surgery.

The direct anterior approach for simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a short-term efficacy analysis. ARTHROPLASTY 2020; 2:21. [PMID: 35236445 PMCID: PMC8796357 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-020-00040-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 07/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Compared to the posterior approach (PA), the direct anterior approach (DAA) can achieve better clinical outcomes for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the same advantages associated with the DAA could be attained in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral THA. Method We retrospectively reviewed 89 patients who underwent one-stage bilateral THA through the DAA (group A, n = 46) and through the PA (group B, n = 43) between June 2015 and November 2017 at our institution. The patients were followed up for a minimum of 1 year. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), preoperative hemoglobin level, preoperative Harris hip score (HHS), and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score between the two groups (P > 0.05 for all). Results The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion volume, and the length of stay (LOS) were significantly less in group A than in group B (p < 0.05). The surgery-related complications were not significantly lower in group A (5.43%) than in group B (10.47%) (χ2 = 2.209, p = 0.112). In 46 cases in group A, one hip had an acetabular anteversion higher than normal value. In both groups, one hip developed aseptic loosening. The HHS was significantly higher in group A than in group B 1, 3, 12 month(s) after operation (p < 0.05). The VAS was significantly lower in group A than in group B 1, 3, 12 month(s) after operation. Against the simple Likert scale, comprehensive satisfaction was significantly higher in group A (97.8%, 45/46) than in group B (76.7%, 33/43) (χ2 = 9.119, p = 0.003). Conclusion In patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral THA, DAA could significantly relieve pain, accelerate the functional recovery of hip joint and improve the satisfaction more than PA. In clinical practice, however, more attention should be paid to strict compliance to operative indications and the prevention of early complications. The long-term effectiveness warrants further observation.

Abstract
Background The relationship between morbid obesity and long-term patient outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been understudied. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between morbid obesity and 10-year complications (revision surgery, reoperation, dislocation) and mortality in patients undergoing primary THA. Methods We conducted a population-based cohort study of patients aged 45–74 years who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis between 2002 and 2007 using Ontario administrative health care databases. Patients were followed for 10 years. We estimated risk ratios (RRs) of mortality, reoperation, revision and dislocation in patients with body mass index (BMI) greater than 45 kg/m2 (morbidly obese patients) compared with patients with a BMI of 45 kg/m2 or less (nonmorbidly obese patients). Results There were 22 251 patients in the study cohort, of whom 726 (3.3%) were morbidly obese. Morbid obesity was associated with higher 10-year risk of death (RR 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18–1.62). Risks of revision (RR 1.43, 95% CI 0.96–2.13) and dislocation (RR 2.38, 95% CI 1.38–4.10) were higher in morbidly obese men than in nonmorbidly obese men; there were no associations between obesity and revision or dislocation in women. Risk of reoperation was higher in morbidly obese women than in nonmorbidly obese women (RR 1.59, 95% CI 1.05–2.40); there was no association between obesity and reoperation in men. Conclusion Morbidly obese patients undergoing primary THA are at higher risk of long-term mortality and complications. There were differences in complication risk by sex. The results of this study should inform perioperative counselling of patients considering THA.

Early morbidity and mortality after one-stage bilateral THA: Anterior versus posterior approach. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2019; 105:1265-1270. [PMID: 31591065 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2019.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2018] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advantages of performing bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) in one stage include a single hospital stay, a single exposure to anaesthesia risks, and expedited rehabilitation. Controversy persists however, regarding safety, notably morbidity and mortality rates. Importantly, few studies have compared the anterior to the posterior approach for single-stage bilateral THA (1B-THA). The objective of this retrospective study in a uniform patient population was to compare the anterior and posterior approaches for 1B-THA in terms of: 1) early mortality rates, 2) early complications, 3) and 90-day re-admission rates, hospital stay lengths, and blood loss. HYPOTHESIS 1B-THA in patients younger than 80 years who have an ASA score of 1 or 2 is associated with no early mortality and with low early morbidity rates regardless of whether the anterior or posterior approach is used. MATERIAL AND METHODS A single-centre retrospective comparative design was used to assess 90-day mortality and morbidity rates in consecutive patients who underwent 1B-THA between 2004 and 2018. The groups managed with the anterior approach (AA) without traction table and posterior approach (PA) were compared. The ASA score was ≤2 and age ≤80 years in all patients. The groups were comparable for age, sex distribution, ASA score, pre-operative haemoglobin level, and reason for THA. RESULTS We included 55 patients managed via the AA and 82 managed via the PA. No patients died in either group. Early complications occurred in 3 patients in the AA group and 6 in the AP group (p=0.74). No differences were noted between the two groups for each type of complication. In the AA group, 3 patients experienced major complications (p=0.06) (2 cerebrovascular events and 1 peri-prosthetic fracture). In the PA group, 6 patients experienced minor complications (1 case each of dislocation, piriformis syndrome, sacral pressure sore, and deep vein thrombosis and 2 cases of ilio-psoas irritation; p=0.08). Operative time was 144minutes (range, 110-195minutes) in the AA group and 171minutes (range, 108-255minutes) in the PA group (p<0.001). Mean hospital stay length was 7.6 days (range, 3-13 days) overall, 6.7 days (range, 5-11 days) in the AA group, and 8.2 days (range, 3-13 days) in the PA group (p<0.001). The early re-admission rate was 2.9% overall, with no difference between the AA group (3.6% [2/55]) and the PA group (2.4% [2/82]) A post-operative blood transfusion was required by 34/137 (24.8%) patients overall, 15/55(27.3%) patients in the AA group and 19/82 (23.2%) patients in the PA group (p=0.58). DISCUSSION In selected patients (ASA score 1 or 2 and age ≤80 years), 1B-THA was not followed by any early deaths in the patients managed using the anterior or posterior approach. Total early morbidity rates were low. Neither the types of complications nor the early re-admission rates differed between the AA and PA groups. The shorter operative time in the AA group is ascribable to change in patient installation between the two arthroplasties when the PA is used. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, comparative study of consecutive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite several studies, controversy has prevailed over the rate of complications following 1-stage and 2-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). In the current study, we compare the complications and functional outcomes of 1-stage and 2-stage procedures. METHODS: One hundred and eighty patients (ASA class I or II) with bilateral hip osteoarthritis were assigned randomly to two equal groups. The two groups were matched in terms of age and sex. All of the surgeries were performed via the Hardinge approach using uncemented implants. In 2-stage procedures, surgeries were performed with a 6-month to 1-year interval. All patients were evaluated 1 year postoperatively. RESULTS: The Harris Hip Score (HHS) averaged 84.1 and 82.6 in 1-stage and 2-stage groups, respectively ( p = 0.528). The hospital stay was significantly longer in the 2-stage group (9.8 days vs. 4.9 days). The cumulative haemoglobin drop and the number of transfused blood units were the same. One patient in each group developed symptomatic deep venous thrombosis which was managed successfully. There was no patient with perioperative death, pulmonary embolism, infection, dislocation, periprosthetic fracture or heterotrophic ossification. No patient required reoperation. Two patients in the 1-stage group developed unilateral temporary peroneal nerve palsy, which was resolved after 3-4 months. CONCLUSION: 1-stage bilateral THA can be used successfully for patients with bilateral hip disease without increasing the rate of complications. Functional and clinical outcomes are comparable and hospital stay is significantly shorter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management strategies for bilateral hip degenerative disease include same-day or staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA), but information on outcomes remains sparse. We sought to describe in-hospital complications and blood transfusion rates after same-day and staged bilateral THAs at different time intervals and to assess risk factors for these events. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed administrative data for 3785 patients treated with same-day bilateral (n = 1946; group A) and staged bilateral THA within (1) 0-3 months apart (n = 328; group B); (2) 3-6 months apart (n = 703; group C); and (3) 6-12 months apart (n = 808; group D), between 1999 and 2014. We recorded demographics, the Charlson-Deyo comorbidity index and in-hospital local and systemic (minor and major) complications. Complication and blood transfusion rates among groups were compared. A logistic regression model was developed to identify risk factors for major complications. RESULTS Local complications were rare. Minor complications were less frequent in group A (P < .001). Major complications were more frequent in group D (P = .012). Group A had higher overall (P < .001) and allogeneic blood transfusion rates (P < .001) compared with the staged groups. Staged procedures within 6-12 months apart vs same-day bilateral THA, older age, Charlson-Deyo index ≥2 vs 0, and earlier vs recent admission year were associated with higher adjusted odds for major complications. CONCLUSION Same-day bilateral THA in a high-volume joint replacement center may be a safe option for younger and healthier patients, given the relatively low incidence of adverse events reported in this study.

Abstract
‘Fast-track’ surgery was introduced more than 20 years ago and may be defined as a co-ordinated peri-operative approach aimed at reducing surgical stress and facilitating post-operative recovery. The fast-track programmes have now been introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery with reduction in post-operative length of stay, shorter convalescence and rapid functional recovery without increased morbidity and mortality. This has been achieved by focusing on a multidisciplinary collaboration and establishing ‘fast-track’ units, with a well-defined organisational set-up tailored to deliver an accelerated peri-operative course of fast-track surgical THA procedures. Fast-track THA surgery now works extremely well in the standard THA patient. However, all patients are different and fine-tuning of the multiple areas in fast-track pathways to get patients with special needs or high co-morbidity burden through a safe and effective fast-track THA pathway is important. In this narrative review, the principles of fast-track THA surgery are presented together with the present status of implementation and perspectives for further improvements.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bilateral total hip arthroplasty (BTHA) and bilateral simultaneous total hip arthroplasty (BSTHA) are done increasingly. Previous studies evaluating outcomes after bilateral procedures have found different results. The aim of this study was to investigate length of hospital stay (LOS), 30 days readmissions and 90 days mortality after BSTHA and BTHA on a nationwide basis. MATERIALS AND METHODS All bilateral primary total hip arthroplasties performed in Denmark from January 1, 2010 to June 31, 2011 were identified using data from the Danish National Patient Registry. The staged procedures were divided into early staged BTHA (0-6 months) and late staged BTHA (6-18 months). RESULTS 103 patients underwent BSTHA, 370 underwent BTHA (0-6 months) and 207 underwent BTHA (6-18 months). Median total LOS was 4 days (IQR 3) after BSTHA vs. 6 days (3) after both BTHA (0-6 months) and BTHA (6-18 months) (p < 0.001). There were no deaths in the BSTHA group vs. 1 death in each BTHA group ≤90 days postoperatively (0.3 and 0.5 %, respectively) (p = 0.755). The readmission rate ≤30 days was 1.9 % after BSTHA vs. 8.9 % (cumulated) after BTHA (0-6 months) and 15.9 % (cumulated) after BTHA (6-18 months) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS If patients are carefully selected for BSTHA, the procedure appears to be safe when combined with a fast-track protocol in Denmark. We found significantly lower readmission rates and shorter total LOS in the BSTHA group compared with the BTHA groups, potentially reflecting selection bias. The results should stimulate to evaluate BSTHA in a randomised controlled trial or a detailed prospective, large multicenter study with a fast-track protocol regarding morbidity, convalescence and mortality.

Abstract
A retrospective cohort study of 668 staged bilateral TKA patients was conducted to determine first-side versus second-side subjective and objective outcomes. Improvement in patient perceived function, measured by one-year Oxford Score (OKS) was defined by a minimal clinically important difference of >5 points in OKS. Results indicate that patients who had a minimal clinically important improvement (MCII) on the first-side have a significantly greater chance of maintaining or improving benefit with second-side TKA (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.63-6.22; P=0.000). Of those with no clinical improvement (NCI), 71.4% achieved MCII on the second-side, while 28.6% remained NCI (P=0.000). Patients who do not initially benefit from first-side TKA should not be denied second-side staged-TKA as they still have a significant chance of achieving an MCII.

Abstract
Fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty aims at giving the patients the best available treatment at all times, being a dynamic entity. Fast-track combines evidence-based, clinical features with organizational optimization including a revision of traditions resulting in a streamlined pathway from admission till discharge – and beyond. The goal is to reduce morbidity, mortality and functional convalescence with an earlier achievement of functional milestones including functional discharge criteria with subsequent reduced length of stay and high patient satisfaction. Outcomes are traditionally measured as length of stay; safety aspects in the form of morbidity/mortality; patient satisfaction; and – as a secondary parameter – economic savings. Optimization of the clinical aspects include focusing on analgesia; DVT-prophylaxis; mobilization; care principles including functional discharge criteria; patient-characteristics to predict outcome; and traditions which may be barriers in optimizing outcomes. Patients should be informed and motivated to be active participants and their expectations should be modulated in order to improve satisfaction. Also, organizational aspects need to be analyzed and optimized. New logistical approaches should be implemented; the ward ideally (re)structured to only admit arthroplasties; the staff educated to have a uniform approach; extensive preoperative information given including discharge criteria and intended length of stay. This thesis includes 9 papers on clinical and organizational aspects of fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty (I–IX). A detailed description of the fast-track set-up and its components is provided. Major results include identification of patient characteristics to predict length of stay and satisfaction with different aspects of the hospital stay (I); how to optimize analgesia by using a compression bandage in total knee arthroplasty (II); the clinical and organizational set-up facilitating or acting as barriers for early discharge (III); safety aspects following fast-track in the form of few readmissions in general (IV) and few thromboembolic complications in particular (V); feasibility studies showing excellent outcomes following fast-track bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (VI) and non-septic revision knee arthroplasty (VII); how acute pain relief in total hip arthroplasty is not enhanced by the use of local infiltration analgesia when multi-modal opioid-sparing analgesia is given (VIII); and a detailed description of which clinical and organizational factors detain patients in hospital following fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty (IX). Economic savings following fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty is also documented in studies, reviews, metaanalyses and Cochrane reviews – including the present fast-track (ANORAK). In conclusion, the published results (I–IX) provide substantial, important new knowledge on clinical and organizational aspects of fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty – with concomitant documented high degrees of safety (morbidity/mortality) and patient satisfaction. Future research strategies are multiple and include both research strategies as efforts to implement the fast-track methodology on a wider basis. Research areas include improvements in pain treatment, blood saving strategies, fluid plans, reduction of complications, avoidance of tourniquet and concomitant blood loss, improved early functional recovery and muscle strengthening. Also, improvements in information and motivation of the patients, preoperative identification of patients needing special attention and detailed economic studies of fast- track are warranted.

Abstract
Bilateral hip arthroplasty has been reported to be a safe and effective way to treat bilateral hip arthritis in a selective group of patients. We report a follow-up of 30 patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty with hydroxyapatite implants and were followed for an average of 19.4 years. Patients had an average Harris Hip Score of 90 at the latest follow-up (range, 78-99). The average Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index questionnaire index score was 12 (range, 0-41), with high functional results on the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Oxford 12 questioners. Using the Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis, with revision for any reason as an end point, survivorship was 94% at 12 years, 88% at 15 years, 74% at 18 years, and 61% at 23 years. All revisions were for the acetabular component, and the survivorship for the femoral component was 100% throughout the 23-year period. We conclude that bilateral uncemented total hip arthroplasty can provide satisfactory long-term clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes in patients even with older-generation polyethylene liners and stem designs.
