Abstract
Biocompatible and antibacterial multi-layer coatings of hydroxyapatite (HA)-Ag/SiO2/TiN/Ti were obtained on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, by means of the magnetron sputtering technique. During characterization of the coatings, the chemical composition was evaluated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and the phase analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction. The morphology of the coatings was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, while transmission electron microscopy was used to appreciate their structure. The adhesion of the coatings to the substrate was evaluated by micro scratch test. The in vitro biological response was evaluated in terms of cytotoxicity, adhesion and differentiation of mouse mesenchymal stem cells, as well as adhesion and bacterial viability of Staphylococcus aureus strain. Through the compositional study carried out, the deposition of the HA phase was verified, with a Ca/P ratio close to 1.67 and the characteristic diffraction peaks of this compound. The structural study of the coatings evidenced the obtention of multi-layer architectures. The use of an intermediate SiO2/TiN/Ti trilayer was found to improve adhesion between HA-Ag and the substrate by 84%. Finally, the in vitro biological tests carried out indicated a potentially non-toxic character in the coatings. Additionally, an antibacterial effect was registered at low concentrations of Ag (<0.25 mg/L).

Quality of outcome data in total hip arthroplasty: comparison of registry data and worldwide non-registry studies from 5 decades. Hip Int 2016; 25:394-401. [PMID: 25837781 DOI: 10.5301/hipint.5000239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/03/2015] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review assessed evidence on outcome (revision rate for all reasons) following hip arthroplasty from its beginning 5 decades ago. METHODS We evaluated all studies from all current hip implants since their market introduction in 1962 regarding "revision rate per 100 observed component years". Data were compared with arthroplasty registries. RESULTS A total of 54 different hip implants were included: for 81% (44 of 54) data is either absent or poor; for 30% (16 of 54) not a single publication could be found. For 52% (28 of 54) less than 100 revisions for all reasons are published in non-registry studies. The remaining 10 implants (19%) comprise 92638 primary implants with 4473 revisions. Control group were the same implants with 111658 primary cases and 3029 revisions from arthroplasty registries. A systematic developer bias as in knee arthroplasty could not be found but several independent authors were found to significantly bias the literature. The overall revision rates per 100 observed component years from non-registry studies (and joint registries) are 0.4 (0.5) for stems, 0.7 (0.7) for cups and 1.4 (2.1) for resurfacing systems. CONCLUSIONS For 81% of all hip implants assessed limited evidence exists from non-registry studies regarding outcome (revision rate) even 5 decades after market introduction. For the remaining 19% of implants no systematic developer bias could be found but several individual authors significantly biased results of single implants. We therefore ask for a more active publication of new implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have addressed the association between early migration of femoral stems and late aseptic revision in total hip arthroplasty. We performed a meta-regression analysis on 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses to determine the association between early migration and late aseptic revision of femoral stems. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of the 2 reviews, one covered early migration data obtained from radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies and the other covered long-term aseptic revision rates obtained from survival studies with endpoint revision for aseptic loosening. Stems were stratified according to the design concept: cemented shape-closed, cemented force-closed, and uncemented. A weighted regression model was used to assess the association between early migration and late aseptic revision, and to correct for confounders. Thresholds for acceptable and unacceptable migration were determined in accordance with the national joint registries (≤ 5% revision at 10 years) and the NICE criteria (≤ 10% revision at 10 years). RESULTS 24 studies (731 stems) were included in the RSA review and 56 studies (20,599 stems) were included in the survival analysis review. Combining both reviews for the 3 design concepts showed that for every 0.1-mm increase in 2-year subsidence, as measured with RSA, there was a 4% increase in revision rate for the shape-closed stem designs. This association remained after correction for age, sex, diagnosis, hospital type, continent, and study quality. The threshold for acceptable migration of shape-closed designs was defined at 0.15 mm; stems subsiding less than 0.15 mm in 2 years had revision rates of less than 5% at 10 years, while stems exceeding 0.15 mm subsidence had revision rates of more than 5%. INTERPRETATION There was a clinically relevant association between early subsidence of shape-closed femoral stems and late revision for aseptic loosening. This association can be used to assess the safety of shape-closed stem designs. The published research is not sufficient to allow us to make any conclusions regarding such an association for the force-closed and uncemented stems.

Long-term survival of the uncemented Balgrist total hip replacement cup. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2013; 37:1449-56. [PMID: 23744502 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-013-1946-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2013] [Accepted: 05/15/2013] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Balgrist total hip replacement cup. METHODS We report the results of a retrospective review of 195 total hip prostheses with Balgrist cup implanted in 178 patients. There were 59 men and 119 women with a mean age at surgery of 52.3 years (range, 19-72). Cox regression was used to determine the influence of independent variables on the survivorship of the prosthesis. RESULTS There were 117 (66 %) of 178 patients, and 131 (67 %) of 195 hips available for assessment at a mean follow-up of 17.4 years. A total of 21 patients (22 hips) were lost from follow-up (12 %). A total of 25 patients (27 hips) required some type of re-operation during the follow-up period. Eight of 27 re-operations (30 %) were directly caused by the Balgrist cup failure due to fatigue fracture of the metallic shell (n = 5; 19 %), polyethylene wear (n = 2; 7 %) and aseptic loosening (n = 1; 4 %). The mean polyethylene wear rate was 0.068 mm/year (range, 0.008-0.230; SD = 0.043). The risk of re-operation for any reason was decreased with dysplastic hip as a primary diagnosis (hazard ratio; HR = 0.250; 95 % CI 0.086-0.725) and with greater age at the time of surgery (HR = 0.923; 95 % CI 0.880-0.969). The 19-year survivorship with re-operation for any reason was 75.6 % (95 % CI 67.0-84.2). The 19-year survivorship with re-operation for the Balgrist cup failure was 90.5 % (95 % CI 83.4-97.6). CONCLUSIONS The Balgrist cup continues to provide excellent clinical and radiological outcomes. This is associated at least in part with a low polyethylene wear rate. The main reason for the Balgrist cup failure is fatigue fracture of the metallic shell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between excessive early migration of acetabular cups and late aseptic revision has been scantily reported. We therefore performed 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses to determine the association between early migration of acetabular cups and late aseptic revision. METHODS One review covered early migration data from radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies, while the other focused on revision rates for aseptic loosening from long-term survival studies. Thresholds for acceptable and unacceptable migration were classified according the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register and the Australian National Joint Replacement Registry: < 5% revision at 10 years. RESULTS Following an elaborate literature search, 26 studies (involving 700 cups) were included in the RSA review and 49 studies (involving 38,013 cups) were included in the survival review. For every mm increase in 2-year proximal migration, there was a 10% increase in revision rate, which remained after correction for age, sex, diagnosis, hospital type, continent, and study quality. Consequently, proximal migration of up to 0.2 mm was considered acceptable and proximal migration of 1.0 mm or more was considered unacceptable. Cups with proximal migration of between 0.2 and 1.0 mm were considered to be at risk of having revision rates higher than 5% at 10 years. INTERPRETATION There was a clinically relevant association between early migration of acetabular cups and late revision due to loosening. The proposed migration thresholds can be implemented in a phased evidence-based introduction, since they allow early detection of high-risk cups while exposing a small number of patients.

Abstract
Background We studied which factor could predict aseptic loosening in ABG I hip prosthesis with hydroxyapatite coating. Aseptic loosening and periprosthetic osteolysis are believed to be caused, at least in part, by increased polyethylene (PE) wear rate via particle disease. Based on it, increased PE wear rate should be associated with aseptic loosening regardless of the type of implant. Methods We analyzed data from 155 revisions of ABG I hip prostheses to examine the influence of patient, implant, surgery, and wear related factors on the rate of aseptic loosening at the site of the cup. This was calculated by stepwise logistic regression analysis. The stability of the implant and severity of bone defects were evaluated intraoperatively. Results We found that men (odds ratio, OR = 5.6; p = 0.004), patients with Charnley class C (OR = 6.71; p = 0.013), those having more severe acetabular bone defects (OR = 4 for each degree of severity; p = 0.002), and longer time to revision surgery (OR = 1.51 for each additional year; p = 0.012) had a greater chance of aseptic loosening of the cup. However, aseptic loosening was not directly predicted by polyethylene wear rate in our patients. Conclusion Severity of bone defects predicts the risk for aseptic loosening in ABG I cup. Factors potentially associated with the quality of bone bed and biomechanics of the hip might influence on the risk of aseptic loosening in this implant.

Inferior survival of hydroxyapatite versus titanium-coated cups at 15 years. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2009; 467:2872-9.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Hydroxyapatite (HA) particles have long been suspected to disintegrate from implant surfaces, become entrapped in joint spaces of orthopaedic bearing couples, and start a cascade leading to progressive polyethylene (PE) wear, increased osteolysis, and aseptic loosening. We compared cup revision at 15 years' followup in a randomized group of patients with 26 cementless THA components with titanium (Ti) versus first-generation HA coating. We also assessed radiographic PE wear and osteolysis to the 12-year followup or end point revision at a minimum of 5 years (mean, 10.9 years; range, 5-12.6 years). Two Ti-coated cups (17%) and eight HA-coated cups (57%) were revised at 15 years' followup. Femoral head penetration rate was 0.46 mm/year (standard deviation, 0.26) with the HA-coated cups (n = 12) and 0.38 mm/year (standard deviation, 0.14) with the Ti-coated cups (n = 10); we observed a wide variance of linear wear with the HA-coated cups. We also observed a positive association between high wear rate and revision, and between a high volume of osteolysis and revision. Our findings suggest inferior survival of medium-thickness spray-dried HA-coated cups with individual cases of excessive PE wear and premature cup failure. These findings apply to first-generation modular cups and may not apply to other cup designs and new HA-coating technologies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive selfmonitoring is an important and cost-demanding part of diabetes treatment. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using transcutaneous sensors offers "real time" information on glycemia. In the present study, we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of CGM on metabolic control using two different statistical methods: linear regression and "survival analysis". OBJECTIVES (1) to assess the therapeutic efficacy of CGM on metabolic control using two different statistical methods: linear regression and survival analysis; (2) to demonstrate the particular advantages of each statistical method. METHODS A total of 42 persons with diabetes mellitus treated by means of an insulin pump participated in this study. According to the means of selfmonitoring persons with diabetes were divided into two groups: 1. intervention group of 17 persons using CGM, 2. control group of 25 persons using a glucometer. Each person was followed for a period of three months. At the beginning of the study and at the end of each month HbA1c was determined. RESULTS Both the regression analysis and survival analysis brought evidence of significant changes of the HbA1c in either of the groups. The method of linear regression enables to analyse the evolution of HbA1c in each individual person followed by comparison of the groups. The survival analysis demonstrated that the probability of HbA1c decrease to the predefined level as well as its further maintaining at this level was higher in the CGM group. The mean time interval necessary to HbA1c decrease was shorter in the CGM group. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of CGM was demonstrated. In addition to linear regression, survival analysis appears to be an useful complementary method in the statistical evaluation of the treatment efficacy.

Variation in cytokine genes can contribute to severity of acetabular osteolysis and risk for revision in patients with ABG 1 total hip arthroplasty: a genetic association study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The differences in total hip arthroplasty (THA) survivorship may be influenced by individual susceptibility to periprosthetic osteolysis. This may be driven by functional polymorphisms in the genes for cytokines and cytokine receptors involved in the development of osteolysis in THA, thereby having an effect on the individual's phenotype. METHODS We performed a study on 22 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for 11 cytokines and two cytokine receptor candidate genes for association with severity of acetabular osteolysis and risk to failure in THA. Samples from 205 unrelated Caucasian patients with cementless type THA (ABG 1) were investigated. Distribution of investigated SNP variants between the groups of mild and severe acetabular osteolysis was determined by univariate and multivariate analysis. Time-dependent output variables were analyzed by the Cox hazards model. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed: 1) TNF-238*A allele was associated with severe osteolysis (odds ratio, OR = 6.59, p = 0.005, population attributable risk, PAR 5.2%); 2) carriers of the IL6-174*G allele were 2.5 times more prone to develop severe osteolysis than non-carriers (OR = 2.51, p = 0.007, PAR = 31.5%); 3) the carriage of IL2-330*G allele was associated with protection from severe osteolysis (OR = 0.55, p = 0.043). Based on logistic regression, the alleles TNF-238*A and IL6-174*G were independent predictors for the development of severe acetabular osteolysis. Carriers of TNF-238*A had increased cumulative hazard of THA failure according to Cox model (p = 0.024). In contrast, IL2-330*G allele predicted lower cumulative hazard of THA failure (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION Genetic variants of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 confer susceptibility to severe OL. In this way, presence of the minor TNF allele could increase the cumulative risk of THA failure. Conversely, SNP in the IL2 gene may protect carriers from the above THA complications.

Risk factors for accelerated polyethylene wear and osteolysis in ABG I total hip arthroplasty. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2009; 34:19-26.

Abstract
We analysed data from 155 revisions of identical cementless hip prostheses to determine the influence of patient-, implant- and surgery-related factors on the polyethylene wear rate and size of periprosthetic osteolysis (OL). This was calculated by logistic regression analysis. Factors associated with an increased/decreased wear rate included position of the cup relative to Kohler's line, increase in abduction angle of the cup, traumatic and inflammatory arthritis as a primary diagnosis, and patient height. Severe acetabular bone defects were predicted by an increased wear rate (odds ratio, OR = 5.782 for wear rate above 200 mm(3)/y), and increased height of the patient (OR = 0.905 per each centimetre). Predictors of severe bone defects in the femur were the increased wear rate (OR = 3.479 for wear rate above 200 mm(3)/y) and placement of the cup outside of the true acetabulum (OR = 3.292). Variables related to surgical technique were the most predictive of polyethylene wear rate.
