Osteointegration of functionalised high-performance oxide ceramics: imaging from micro-computed tomography. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:411. [PMID: 39026349 PMCID: PMC11256426 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04918-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the osseointegration potential of functionalised high-performance oxide ceramics (HPOC) in isolation or coated with BMP-2 or RGD peptides in 36 New Zeeland female rabbits using micro-computed tomography (micro CT). The primary outcomes of interest were to assess the amount of ossification evaluating the improvement in the bone volume/ total volume (BV/TV) ratio and trabecular thickness at 6 and 12 weeks. The second outcome of interest was to investigate possible differences in osteointegration between the functionalised silanised HPOC in isolation or coated with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP-2) or RGD peptides. METHODS 36 adult female New Zealand white rabbits with a minimum weight of three kg were used. One-third of HPOCs were functionalised with silicon suboxide (SiOx), a third with BMP-2 (sHPOC-BMP2), and another third with RGD (sHPOC-RGD). All samples were scanned with a high-resolution micro CT (U-CTHR, MILabs B.V., Houten, The Netherlands) with a reconstructed voxel resolution of 10 µm. MicroCT scans were reconstructed in three planes and processed using Imalytics Preclinical version 2.1 (Gremse-IT GmbH, Aachen, Germany) software. The total volume (TV), bone volume (BV) and ratio BV/TV were calculated within the coating area. RESULTS BV/TV increased significantly from 6 to 12 weeks in all HPOCs: silanised (P = 0.01), BMP-2 (P < 0.0001), and RGD (P < 0.0001) groups. At 12 weeks, the BMP-2 groups demonstrated greater ossification in the RGD (P < 0.0001) and silanised (P = 0.008) groups. Trabecular thickness increased significantly from 6 to 12 weeks (P < 0.0001). At 12 weeks, BMP-2 promoted greater trabecular thickness compared to the silanised group (P = 0.07), although no difference was found with the RGD (P = 0.1) group. CONCLUSION Sinalised HPOC in isolation or functionalised with BMP-2 or RGD promotes in vivo osteointegration. The sinalised HOPC functionalised with BMP-2 demonstrated the greatest osseointegration.

Short versus conventional straight stem in uncemented total hip arthroplasty: functional outcomes up to 5 years and survival up to 12 years: secondary results of a randomized controlled trial. Acta Orthop 2024; 95:99-107.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To date, the mid- and long-term outcomes of the Collum Femoris Preserving (CFP) stem compared with conventional straight stems are unknown. We aimed to compare physical function at a 5-year follow-up and implant survival at an average of 10-year follow-up in an randomized controlled trial (RCT). METHODS This is a secondary report of a double-blinded RCT in 2 hospitals. Patients aged 18-70 years with hip osteoarthritis undergoing an uncemented primary THA were randomized to a CFP or a Zweymüller stem. Patient-reported outcomes, clinical tests, and radiographs were collected at baseline, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years postoperatively. Primary outcome was the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) function in activities of daily living (ADL) subscale. Secondary outcomes were other patient-reported outcomes, clinical tests, adverse events, and implant survival. Kaplan-Meier and competing risk survival analyses were performed with data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry. RESULTS We included 150 patients. Mean difference between groups on the HOOS ADL subscale at 5 years was -0.07 (95% confidence interval -5.1 to 4.9). Overall survival was 92% for the CFP and 96% for the Zweymüller stem. No significant difference was found. CONCLUSION No significant differences were found in physical function at 5-year and implant survival at 10-year follow-up between the CFP and Zweymüller stems. When taking cup revisions into account, the CFP group showed clinically inferior survival.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:7195-7203.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An acetabular liner thickness of around 6 mm remains the "gold standard" in total hip arthroplasty. Some surgeons have been recommending the use of the thickest possible liner because contact stress and strain in articulating surfaces decrease with increasing the wall thickness. The purpose of this study was to determine whether in vivo creep and wear performance could be enhanced using a thicker liner over the standard thickness in vitamin-E-diffused highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-two hips were allocated to age-matched, sex-matched, and body mass index-matched two subgroups implanted either with a 6.8- or 8.9-mm-thick vitamin-E-diffused HXLPE liner against 28-mm cobalt-chrome femoral head, and followed-up for 7 years. Linear and volumetric penetration of femoral head into the liners attributed to creep and wear were analyzed for each group. RESULTS Compressive creep strain generated at the initial 6 months was significantly larger in the 6.8-mm group (2.6%) than in the 8.9-mm group (2.2%). The linear steady-state wear observed after 2 years was 0.0019 and 0.0015 mm/year, whereas the volumetric steady-state wear was 0.54 and 0.45 mm3/years in the 6.8- and 8.9-mm-thick groups, respectively. Although less strain in the thicker group resulted in a slightly less wear, it did not reach significant differences in the steady-state wear rates between the groups. CONCLUSION No clinical significance for using a thicker liner over the standard thickness (6.8 mm → 8.9 mm) was confirmed in the vitamin-E-diffused HXLPE according to the 7-year follow-up. The wear rates for both thicknesses were very low enough to prevent osteolysis, and no mechanical failure was observed at any follow-up interval. Nevertheless, since the significantly higher strain was seen in the thinner liner, further follow-up is needed to compare the longer term wear and the incidence of osteolysis and component fracture.
