The medullary cavity morphology of the proximal femur influences the fixation pattern of the rectangular tapered short stem in total hip arthroplasty. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2024:10.1007/s00402-024-05500-5. [PMID: 39198309 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-024-05500-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate differences in the pattern of fixation with a rectangular tapered short stem (Fitmore stem) due to proximal femoral medullary cavity morphology based on periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and radiological findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 105 consecutive patients (Dorr type A, 18; Dorr type B, 66; Dorr type C, 21) who underwent total hip arthroplasty using a Fitmore stem. Periprosthetic BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry from 1 to 24 months postoperatively and radiological analysis was performed. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Harris hip score (HHS) and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score preoperatively and 24 months postoperatively. RESULTS At 24 months postoperatively, Dorr type C had significantly decreased BMD changes in Gruen zones 2, 6, and 7 compared to Dorr types A and B, and conversely, significantly increased BMD changes in zone 4 (p < 0.05). Dorr type C had significantly greater subsidence than the other types (p < 0.01) and significantly higher cortical hypertrophy in zone 3 (p < 0.01). Stress shielding was not significantly different between Dorr types. The preoperative and postoperative HHS and UCLA activity scores showed no significant differences between the Dorr types. CONCLUSIONS In Dorr type C, BMD significantly decreased in the proximal femur with a rectangular tapered short stem, suggesting that the stem was fixed at the distal part. Careful observation of this prosthesis over time is needed in patients with Dorr type C.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone maintenance after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is important for implant success. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between patient characteristics and periprosthetic bone maintenance after THA for better implant selection. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 112 consecutive patients who underwent THA using full hydroxyapatite (HA) compaction with short (n = 55) or short-tapered wedge (n = 61) stems. Periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) was compared between the two groups after propensity score matching, and the relationship between periprosthetic BMD changes and patient background was analyzed. RESULTS Both groups showed similar periprosthetic BMD changes after adjusting for patient background using propensity score matching. Canal flare index > 3.7 in patients that underwent THA using tapered-wedge stem (odds ratio (OR), 3.2; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3-7.9, p = 0.013) and baseline zone 1 BMD > 0.65 in patients that received with short HA compaction stems (OR, 430.0; 95% CI 1.3-1420, p = 0.040) were associated with proximal periprosthetic bone maintenance after THA. CONCLUSION Considering their predictive value, canal flare index and zone 1 BMD assessment might be useful strategies for implant selection during THA.

Abstract
Stress shielding and aseptic loosening are complications of short stem total hip arthroplasty, which may lead to hardware failure. Stems with increased porosity toward the distal end were discovered to be effective in reducing stress shielding, however, there is a lack of research on optimized porous distribution in stem's coating. This study aimed to optimize the distribution of the coefficient of friction of a metaphyseal femoral stem, aiming for reducing stress shielding in the proximal area. A finite element analysis model of an implanted, titanium alloy short-tapered wedge stem featuring a porous coating made of titanium was designed to simulate a static structural analysis of the femoral stem's behavior under axial loading in Analysis System Mechanical Software. For computational feasibility, 500 combinations of coefficients of friction were randomly sampled. Increased strains in proximal femur were found in 8.4% of the models, which had decreased coefficients of friction in middle medial areas of porous coating and increased in lateral proximal and lateral and medial distal areas. This study reported the importance of the interface between bone and middle medial and distal lateral areas of the porous coating in influencing the biomechanical behavior of the proximal femur, and potentially reducing stress shielding.

Abstract
Aims This study was designed to develop a model for predicting bone mineral density (BMD) loss of the femur after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using artificial intelligence (AI), and to identify factors that influence the prediction. Additionally, we virtually examined the efficacy of administration of bisphosphonate for cases with severe BMD loss based on the predictive model. Methods The study included 538 joints that underwent primary THA. The patients were divided into groups using unsupervised time series clustering for five-year BMD loss of Gruen zone 7 postoperatively, and a machine-learning model to predict the BMD loss was developed. Additionally, the predictor for BMD loss was extracted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). The patient-specific efficacy of bisphosphonate, which is the most important categorical predictor for BMD loss, was examined by calculating the change in predictive probability when hypothetically switching between the inclusion and exclusion of bisphosphonate. Results Time series clustering allowed us to divide the patients into two groups, and the predictive factors were identified including patient- and operation-related factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for the BMD loss prediction averaged 0.734. Virtual administration of bisphosphonate showed on average 14% efficacy in preventing BMD loss of zone 7. Additionally, stem types and preoperative triglyceride (TG), creatinine (Cr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and creatine kinase (CK) showed significant association with the estimated patient-specific efficacy of bisphosphonate. Conclusion Periprosthetic BMD loss after THA is predictable based on patient- and operation-related factors, and optimal prescription of bisphosphonate based on the prediction may prevent BMD loss.

Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is effective in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. Radiographic evaluation, standard in THA planning, is sufficient in examining hip anatomy, although it may not precisely assess bone quality. A routinely implemented method in bone quality assessment is densitometry. The technique allows for a measurement of bone mineral density (BMD). Methodology In the study, we included 26 participants who qualified for THA. All the patients were preoperatively examined with radiographs and densitometry of the affected hip. On the preoperative anteroposterior radiograph, we measured the canal-to-calcar isthmus ratio (CC ratio) and the cortical index (CI). Intraoperatively, during the THA procedure, we measured the thickness of the cortical bone and the diameter of the femoral neck in the line of neck resection. Results The examination with Pearson's correlation coefficient revealed that BMD significantly positively correlates with the intraoperatively measured diameter of the femoral neck (r = 0.5, P = 0.009), and with the measured thickness of the cortical bone (r = 0.47, P = 0.015), CI significantly positively correlates with the intraoperatively measured diameter of the femoral neck (r = 0.6, P = 0.001), and with the CC ratio (r = 0.44, P = 0.024), the intraoperatively measured diameter of the femoral neck significantly positively correlates with the intraoperatively measured thickness of the cortical bone (r = 0.59, P = 0.001). All of the other correlations were not statistically significant. Conclusions BMD measurements can be used in THA planning as they positively correlate with intraoperative measurements. The radiological parameters (CC ratio and CI) may not be as precise in bone quality assessment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Changes in bone mineral density (BMD) around the fully hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated compaction broached and triple-tapered stem, namely, Polarstem, after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are currently unknown. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate clinical outcomes of Polarstem, mainly postoperative temporal changes in BMD around the stem for 2 years, and to compare them with those of HA-coated and non-HA-coated tapered-wedge stems. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 100 consecutive patients who underwent THA using Polarstem (n = 38), HA-coated Anthology (n = 31), and non-HA-coated Anthology (n = 31). BMD was evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in seven regions according to the Gruen zones. Postoperatively, BMD around the stem was assessed within 2 months (baseline BMD) and at 6, 12, and 24 months. A change in BMD was defined as the value calculated by dividing each postoperative BMD value at 6, 12, and 24 months by the baseline BMD value. Changes in BMD and radiographic parameters such as stress shielding and spot welds were compared among the three stems. RESULTS The incidence rate of stress shielding in the Polarstem group was significantly lower than those in the other two groups (p = 0.007). The change in BMD in Zone 7 of Polarstem was significantly more than that of the other two groups at 12 and 24 months postoperatively (p = 0.030 and p = 0.009, respectively). CONCLUSION Polarstem, a fully HA-coated compaction broached and triple-tapered stem, maintained BMD around the femoral calcar until 2 years postoperatively and could reduce the risk of stress shielding compared with tapered-wedge stems.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the differences in peri-prosthetic bone remodelling between the full hydroxyapatite (HA)-collared compaction short stem and the short tapered-wedge stem. METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 159 consecutive patients (159 joints) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the full HA compaction short (n = 64) and short tapered-wedge (n = 95) stems. Body mass index (BMI), peri-prosthetic bone mineral density (BMD), and clinical factors, including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score were assessed and compared. RESULTS Stem related complications were seen in three cases. Both groups showed similar peri-prosthetic BMD changes. Peri-prosthetic BMD was almost maintained in the distal femur and Gruen zone 6 with both type of stems, but significant BMD loss was found in zones 1 and 7 in both groups and in zone 2 of the full HA compaction stem group. No significant correlations were found between the proximal femoral BMD changes and the age, BMI, and UCLA score in both the full HA compaction and tapered-wedge stem groups. Femoral bone shape affected the peri-prosthetic BMD changes in the tapered-wedge stem group but not in the full HA compaction group. The stem collar of the full HA compaction stem did not affect peri-prosthetic BMD, but unique bone remodelling in the calcar region was observed in 27.6% cases. A significant difference in the peri-prosthetic BMD changes at Gruen zone 2 was found in patients with or without thigh pain. CONCLUSION Peri-prosthetic bone remodelling remained unaffected by clinical and radiographic factors after THA with the new short full HA compaction stem. Therefore, this new stem may be useful in a variety of cases.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the periprosthetic BMD changes around Tri‐Lock “Bone Preserving Stem” with the other two common and longer stems (Corail and Summit) after THA. Methods It was a retrospective cohort study followed patients underwent the total hip arthroplasty from January 2013 to December 2015. They were selected and followed from January 2013 to Janaury 2020. Patients without osteoporosis underwent hip replacements with three aimed stems were included. Among the 138 patients included, 49 patients received the Tri‐Lock stem, 44 patients received the Corail stem, and 45 patients received the Summit stem. The periprosthetic BMD changes evaluated by the Dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (iDXA) measurement according to the seven Gruen zones was the primary outcome. The Radiographic changes including spot welds, pedestal sign and grade of stress shielding was evaluated by the consecutive hip images. Einzel‐Bild‐Roentgen‐Analyze‐femoral component analysis (EBRA‐FCA) was used to measure the stem migration at 5 years postoperatively. Patient‐reported outcomes (PROMs) and adverse events were assessed and compared in three groups. Finally, the subgroups for the periprosthetic BMD changes, radiological and clinical outcomes were made based on the age, gender and length of follow‐up. Results A total of 138 patients were retrospectively followed for an average of 4.66 years. Excepting the different stems used in three groups, the age, gender and other characteristics of patients included were similar between groups. There was no significant difference between the three groups in periprosthetic BMD changes over postoperative 5 years. The Summit stem shown more BMD loss in Gruen zone 1 compared with the Tri‐Lock and Corail stems without significant difference (7.49%, −1.89% and −2.62%, respectively, P = 0.42). And the most prominent BMD loss was found in Gruen zone 7 for all three stems (−12.60%, −11.84%, and −9.56%, respectively, P = 0.91). The spot weld was significantly more common around the Corail stem, while there was no difference in the stem migration between three groups. Patient reported outcomes (PROMs) were significantly improved compared with the preoperative values. Regarding the rate of postoperative complications, two patients underwent the dislocation and 25 patients sometimes felt mild to moderate thigh pain. Subgroup analysis showed that female patients older than 50 years lost more BMD and had lower clinical scores, while the stem stability was not good enough in male patients. Conclusions The Tri‐Lock Bone Preserving Stem did not show significant difference in periprosthetic BMD changes compared with the other two conventional longer stems at 5 years after THA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After rehabilitation following total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), patients are advised to participate in physical activity (PA) and sports. However, profound insight into whether people adopt a physically active lifestyle is lacking. Aim is to gain insight into the performed amount and type of PA (including sports) and time spent sedentarily by persons after THA/TKA. METHODS A systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42020178556). Pubmed, Cinahl, EMBASE and PsycInfo were systematically searched for articles reporting on amount of PA, and on the kind of activities performed between January 1995-January 2021. Quality of the articles was assessed with the adapted tool from Borghouts et al. RESULTS The search retrieved 5029 articles, leading to inclusion of 125 articles reporting data of 123 groups; 53 articles reported on subjects post-THA, 16 on post-hip-resurfacing arthroplasty, 40 on post-TKA, 15 on post-unicompartimental knee arthroplasty and 12 on a mix of arthroplasty types. With respect to quality assessment, 14 articles (11%) met three or fewer criteria, 29 (24%) met four, 32 (26%) met five, 42 (34%) met six, and 6 (5%) met seven out of the eight criteria. PA levels were comparable for THA and TKA, showing a low to moderately active population. Time spent was mostly of low intensity. Roughly 50% of -subjects met health-enhancing PA guidelines. They spent the largest part of their day sedentarily. Sports participation was relatively high (rates above 70%). Most participation was in low-impact sports at a recreational level. Roughly speaking, participants were engaged in sports 3 hours/week, consisting of about three 1-hour sessions. CONCLUSION Activity levels seem to be low; less than half of them seemed to perform the advised amount of PA following health-enhancing guidelines Sports participation levels were high. However, many articles were unclear about the definition of sports participation, which could have led to overestimation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative complications and non-periprosthetic fractures (NPPFs), which was defined as a fracture existing non- periprosthetic implant, after total hip arthroplasty (THA) have a negative effect on the patients' ability to perform activities of daily living. Thus, investigating these incidences of patients after THA will be valuable as it lead to a more strategic physical therapy interventions and advanced research to prevent these problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative complications related to implants and NPPFs in patients after THA, a more than 10-year follow-up. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. A total 892 patients with hip osteoarthritis who underwent primary THA were analyzed (age at surgery was 45-79 years; 805 women; the average follow-up period was 12.4-year). The postoperative complications related to implants and NPPFs were calculated using data from their medical records. RESULTS The postoperative complications occurred in 37 patients, and NPPFs occurred in 72 patients, who were significantly older, and hip and knee OA diagnosis, compared to patients without NPPFs ( p <.05). The most common cause of NPPFs was minor trauma. In patients aged ≧ 65 years, significantly more NPPFs occurred during the first year after surgery( p <.05). CONCLUSION More than 10-year after THA, the incidence of NPPFs was higher than that of postoperative complications related to implants. Older patients who had hip and knee OA were a significantly higher risk of developing NPPFs due to falls within the first year after surgery.

J Orthop Surg Res 2020; 15:503. [PMID: 33138840 PMCID: PMC7607681 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-020-02034-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although medical intervention of periprosthetic bone loss in the immediate postoperative period was recommended, not all the patients experienced periprosthetic bone loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prediction tools that enrolled all potential risk factors to calculate an individualized prediction of postoperative periprosthetic bone loss were strongly needed for clinical decision-making. METHODS Data of the patients who underwent primary unilateral cementless THA between April 2015 and October 2017 in our center were retrospectively collected. Candidate variables included demographic data and bone mineral density (BMD) in spine, hip, and periprosthetic regions that measured 1 week after THA. Outcomes of interest included the risk of postoperative periprosthetic bone loss in Gruen zone 1, 7, and total zones in the 1st postoperative year. Nomograms were presented based on multiple logistic regressions via R language. One thousand Bootstraps were used for internal validation. RESULTS Five hundred sixty-three patients met the inclusion criteria were enrolled, and the final analysis was performed in 427 patients (195 male and 232 female) after the exclusion. The mean BMD of Gruen zone 1, 7, and total were decreased by 4.1%, 6.4%, and 1.7% at the 1st year after THA, respectively. 61.1% of the patients (261/427) experienced bone loss in Gruen zone 1 at the 1st postoperative year, while there were 58.1% (248/427) in Gruen zone 7 and 63.0% (269/427) in Gruen zone total. Bias-corrected C-index for risk of postoperative bone loss in Gruen zone 1, 7, and total zones in the 1st postoperative year were 0.700, 0.785, and 0.696, respectively. The most highly influential factors for the postoperative periprosthetic bone loss were primary diagnosis and BMD in the corresponding Gruen zones at the baseline. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, our study represented the first time to use the nomograms in estimating the risk of postoperative periprosthetic bone loss with adequate predictive discrimination and calibration. Those predictive models would help surgeons to identify high-risk patients who may benefit from anti-bone-resorptive treatment in the early postoperative period effectively. It is also beneficial for patients, as they can choose the treatment options based on a reasonable expectation following surgery.

High periprosthetic bone mineral density measured in immediate postoperative period may not guarantee less periprosthetic bone loss in the proximal femur after cementless total hip arthroplasty - A retrospective study. ARTHROPLASTY 2020; 2:2. [PMID: 35236466 PMCID: PMC8796644 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-020-0023-3] [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: 08/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Total hip arthroplasty is the most common orthopaedic procedure for the end-stage hip diseases. Periprosthetic bone loss is closely related to the increased risk of implant loosening and periprosthetic fractures, but the predictive value of periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) measured immediately after surgery has not yet been investigated. Methods From April 2015 to October 2017, 64 patients with femoral neck fracture, hip osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis, or developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty. Demographic data, bone mineral density of the hip and spine, periprosthetic BMD of 7 Gruen zones, and radiographic parameters measured preoperatively, 1 week, 3 months, and 12 months after surgery were collected. A p value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results Significant decreases of the periprosthetic BMD were found in Gruen zone 1 (− 8.0%; p < 0.05), Gruen zone 2 (− 6.3%; p < 0.05), Gruen zone 7 (− 8.6%; p < 0.05), and total Gruen zone (− 4.7%; p < 0.05) in the first postoperative year, compared with the values measured 1 week after surgery. The relationship between the preoperative BMD of the hip/spine and the BMD of Gruen zone 1 and Gruen zone 7 measured 1 week after surgery did not reach statistical significance. The multiple linear regression analysis illustrated that the bone loss in Gruen zone 7 at the end of the follow-up period was negatively affected (β = − 0.703) by the BMD of Gruen zone 7 measured 1 week after surgery, with a R2 of 0.486 (p < 0.05). Similar results were also found in Gruen zone 1 (β = − 0.448, R2 = 0.186; p < 0.05). Conclusion There were marked decreases in periprosthetic BMD of the proximal femur in the first postoperative year. The predictive values of preoperative BMD of hip and spine on periprosthetic bone loss after THA were limited. Higher periprosthetic BMD measured in immediate postoperative period may not guarantee less periprosthetic bone loss in the proximal femur after cementless THA.

Stem length in primary cementless total hip arthroplasty: Does it make a difference in bone remodeling? EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2019; 29:1235-1242. [PMID: 30989339 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-019-02437-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2018] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Stem design is usually accused for proximal femoral remodeling following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this prospective study was to compare the in vivo changes in bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur after implantation of cementless THA with two length alternative stems. METHODS Between May 2011 and March 2014, 50 patients, who met our selection criteria and received cementless THA, randomized into two groups. Group A received cementless standard femoral stems, while group B received short stems. Harris Hip Score (HHS) and visual analog scale (VAS) were used for clinical assessment. Stem and cup positions and stability were radiologically evaluated. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to follow and compare changes in BMD in different zones of proximal femur between both groups. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 21.4 ± 3.53 months, there was a significant (p < 0.05) improvement in mean HHS and VAS with no significant differences (p > 0.05) between groups. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between groups regarding radiological results and rates of complications. The mean overall BMD was decreased by 11.26% for group A and 8.68% for group B at the final follow-up (p > 0.05). The greatest loss was found in greater trochanter region for group A and so for group B, but to a lesser extent (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cementless short stem was not able to hold back proximal femoral bone loss, but only can modify or decrease its incidence within limits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a proximally coated single-wedge (PSW) cementless stem had been generally considered not to be suitable for Dorr Type C femurs. This study compares the long term outcomes of PSW stem according to the type of proximal femoral geometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS 307 primary THAs in 247 patients were performed with PSW cementless stem and followed up for over 10 years in this retrospective study. According to Dorr's criteria, 89 femurs were classified as Type A, 156 as Type B, and 62 as Type C. They were followed up for an average of 13.2 years (range 10.0-17.3 years). All the hips were evaluated clinically and radiologically. RESULTS There was no significant difference in stem survivorship and clinical outcomes including the incidence of thigh pain and the mean postoperative Harris hip score (HHS) in all three groups. No significant differences were observed in osteolysis, pedestal formation, or cortical hypertrophy among the groups. Radiolucent lines <2 mm in thickness in Gruen zone 4 and 7 (P = 0.003 and P = 0.044, respectively), spot-weld (P < 0.001), and stress shielding (P = 0.010) of proximal femur were more pronounced in Dorr C type femora than in Type A or B. Fifty-six intraoperative fractures were identified among 307 hips with PSW stems. The incidence of intraoperative or postoperative femoral fractures was not significantly different among the groups. CONCLUSIONS From over a 10-year followup, the PSW stem provided a recommendable option with satisfactory outcomes and excellent stem survivorship regardless of the Dorr type.

Abstract
The short tapered-wedge stem is popular worldwide because it potentially preserves more bone stock during total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, stem version mismatch may affect physiological stress distribution. In this study, we analyzed the correlations between periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes and anteversion mismatch in patients who underwent THA using a short tapered-wedge stem. The study included 44 patients (44 joints) who underwent THA with a Tri-Lock stem. At baseline and at 6 and 24 months postoperatively, the BMDs in the seven Gruen zones were evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. BMD changes and stem alignment, that is, anteversion and stem anteversion mismatch to the anatomical canal anteversion, were analyzed. Significant negative correlations were found between BMD changes and absolute anteversion error in Gruen zones 1 and 7 at 6 and 24 months postoperatively (zone 1, 6M; RR= -0.48, p < 0.001) (zone 7, 6M; RR= -0.46, p = 0.002) (zone 1, 24M; RR= -0.47, p = 0.001) (zone 7, 24M; RR= -0.40, p = 0.007). We further demonstrated that excessive stem anteversion mismatch to the anatomical canal anteversion causes stem point contact with the cortical bone in the distal portion and affected proximal periprosthetic BMD loss after THA. We recommend that the native anatomical anteversion angle should be used as a reference for inserting the tapered-wedge stems.

Abstract
AIMS The present study aimed to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes around a cementless short tapered-wedge stem used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to determine the correlation between BMD changes and stem alignment after THA. METHODS The study included 21 patients (21 joints) who underwent THA with a TriLock stem. At baseline and 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively, the BMDs in the 7 Gruen zones were evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. BMD changes and stem alignment, that is, anteversion, varus, and anterior tilt, were correlated. RESULTS Minimal BMD changes were found in the distal femur (Gruen zones 3, 4, and 5), but significant BMD loss was noted in zone 7. BMD loss was also noted in zone 1 at 6 and 12 months postoperatively, but it recovered after 18 months. No correlation was found between BMD changes and anterior tilt. However, significant negative correlations were found between BMD changes and anteversion. Furthermore, significant negative correlations were found between BMD changes and varus in Gruen zone 1, while positive correlations were found between BMD changes and varus in Gruen zone 7. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that periprosthetic BMD was well maintained in the proximal femur after THA with a short tapered-wedge stem and that stem anteversion affects periprosthetic BMD after THA.
