Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the midterm results of cementless revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using Wagner Cone Prosthesis.

Material and Methods

Between 1996 and 2007, 36 hips in 36 consecutive patients underwent femoral revision THA using Wagner Cone Prosthesis. Among them 28 hips were followed for more than 5 years. The mean age at revision surgery was 57 years and a mean follow-up was 7.6 years. The Paprosky classification system was used for preoperative bone loss evaluation. Clinical results were evaluated using Harris hip scores. For evaluation of the femoral component, radiolucent lines at bone-implant interfaces were evaluated and femoral component vertical subsidence was measured. Heterotopic bone formation and complications were also evaluated.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of two stage reconstruction for infected arthroplasty of hip joint and to know the risk factor for failures.

Patients and Methods:

From May 2004 to September 2011, 104 consecutive patients (105 hips) who underwent two stage reconstruction for the infected arthroplasty of hip joint were retrospectively evaluated. There were 60 hips with primary THA infection (Acute infection 22, Delayed infection 38), 4 hips with revision THA infection (Acute infection 1, Delayed infection 3), 20 hips with primary hemiarthroplasty infection (Acute infection 14, Delayed infection 6) and 24 hips with acute pyogenic coxitis. We evaluated the number of surgeries before two-stage reconstruction and also analysed the cultured pathogens. Mean follow duration after 2nd stage revision THA was 1.80 ± 1.76 years and average age at the time of 1st stage surgery (Debridement and PROSTALAC insertion) was 62.8 ± 14.3 years.

Introduction

This study was performed to evaluate the minimum 5-year clinical and radiological results of liner cementation into a stable acetabular shell using a metal-inlay, polyethylene liner during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

Sixty-six hips (63 patients) that underwent revision THA using a metal-inlay polyethylene liner cementation were included. The causes of revision were; polyethylene wear in 37 cases, femoral stem loosening in 20 cases, ceramic head fracture in 4 cases, and recurrent dislocation in 5 cases. Clinical results were graded at final follow-up using Harris hip scores, and radiographs were evaluated to determine acetabular component inclination, the stabilities of acetabular and femoral components, correction of hip centers, and the progression of osteolysis.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to know the peri-operative morbidity, clinical and radiographical outcomes of conversion THA from failed transtrochanter rotational osteotomy (TRO).

Patients and methods

From 2003 January to 2009 January, there were 18 hips(18 patients) who underwent conversion THA from TRO for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) (Group I). The mean duration from TRO to conversion THA was 2.6 years. We made a matched control group of 18 primary THA for ONFH (Group II) and we evaluated perioperative morbidity and complications in each group. For the clinical evaluation, we checked Harris hip score (HHS) and WOMAC score. For the radiographical evaluation, we evaluated implant position, stability and osteolysis.

Purpose

Hip arthroplasty is a good treatment option for displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly patients. However, neuromuscular disease such as cerebral infarction or hemorrhage can be a concerning problem for THA since dislocation after operation can frequently occur. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the functional results of modified minimally invasive (MI) two-incision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of large-diameter (>38mm) metal-on-metal articulation in patients with muscle weakness.

Patients and Methods

19 consecutive patients (19 hips) with displaced femoral neck fracture with muscle weakness were enrolled. There were 11 patients with cerebral infarction, 4 patients with cerebral hemorrhage and 4 patients with Parkinson's disease. In the lateral position, an anterolateral approach between the gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata and a posterior approach between the piriformis and gluteus medius were used.

Surgical morbidity, functional recovery, radiological implantation properties, range of motion (ROM) and complications were assessed.

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographical mid-term follow-up results of a second generation metal-on-metal cementless total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in patients younger than 50 years.

Methods

Twenty eight patients (35 hips) who underwent total hip arthroplasty with second generation metal-on-metal bearings for osteonecrosis of the femoral head at a minimum 5-year follow-up were included in this study. There were 5 women (6 hips) and 23 men (29 hips) who had a mean age of 40 years (range, 23 to 49 years) and a mean follow-up of 7 years. We used a Fitmore (Zimmer) cup and a 28mm Metasul femoral head in all cases. A CLS (Protek AG/Zimmer) femoral stem was used in 30 hips and a Cone prosthesis¯ (Protek AG) was used in 5 hips. Functional results were measured by Harris hip (HHS) and WOMAC scores. Radiographic evaluations were used to assess loosening and osteolysis according to Gruen and Delee and Charnley criteria.


Introduction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographical results in patients who underwent a modified minimally invasive two-incision total hip arthroplasty using large-diameter ceramic-on-ceramic articulations for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Methods

One hundred and one patients (135 hips) who underwent unilateral minimally invasive two-incision total hip arthroplasties using large diameter ceramic-on-ceramic bearings for osteonecrosis of the femoral head with a minimum 12-months follow-up were included in this study. There were 22 women and 79 men who had a mean age of 46 years (range, 22 to 82 years). The mean follow-up was 25 months (range, 12 to 36 months). All surgeries were done by a single hip surgeon. The authors modified the original minimally invasive two-incision total hip arthroplasty technique and used large-diameter (32mm, 36mm) ceramic-on-ceramic articulations. In the lateral position, an anterolateral approach between the gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata muscles and a posterior approach between the piriformis and gluteus medius muscles was used. Functional results were measured by Harris hip (HHS) and WOMAC scores. Radiographic evaluation was assessed for positioning of the components and complications were assessed.


Introduction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional and radiographical results in patients who underwent a modified minimally invasive two-incision total hip arthroplasty using large-diameter metal-on-metal articulations for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Methods

From December 2007 to July 2008, 45 hips (33 patients) underwent total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. There was 1 woman (2 hips) and 32 men (43 hips) who had a mean age of 39 years (range, 22 to 64 years). The minimum follow-up was 12 months (range, 12 to 19 months). The authors modified the original minimally invasive two-incision total hip arthroplasty technique and used large-diameter metal-on-metal articulations. In the lateral position, an anterolateral approach was used between the gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata muscles and for the posterior approach the muscle plane was between the piriformis and gluteus medius muscles. The acetabular components, Durom¯ (Zimmer) in 20 hips and Magnum¯ (Biomet) was used in 25 hips. M/L taper¯ (Zimmer) femoral stems were used in all cases. The size of the femoral heads were 38 mm (1 hip), 40 mm (3 hips), 42 mm (13 hips), 44 mm (18 hips), 46 mm (5 hips), 48 mm (4 hips) and 50 mm (1 hip). Postures such as excessive flexion or adduction which cause dislocation were not restricted, post-operatively. Functional results were measured by Harris hip scores (HHS), WOMAC scores, and range of motion. Radiographic evaluation was assessed for positions of components and post-operative complications were noted.

Introduction

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-beta superfamily of growth factors and are known to regulate proliferation and expression of the differentiated phenotype of chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. To investigate the osteoblastic differentiation gene expressions that contribute to BMP-7 dependent ostogenesis, we performed gene expression profiling of BMP-7-treated mouse bone marrow stromal cells.

Methods

D1 cells (mouse bone marrow stromal cells) were cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) for 3 days, and then treated with BMP-7 for 24 hr. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol, purified using RNeasy columns. Total RNA was amplified and purified using the Ambion Illumina RNA amplification kit to yield biotinylated cRNA. The data analysis up- and down-regulation developmental processes (anterior/posterior patterning, ectoderm development, embryogenesis, gametogenesis, mesoderm development, other development process, and segment specification) genes expression fold.

Introduction: The amount of tension which surgeons apply to a two-side Dall-Miles cable during the fixation of periprosthetic fracture has not been reported. Current study is the first report that reveals the real cable tension data which was intraoperatively measured.

Methods: In vivo data of tightening torque was measured intraoperatively during Dall-Miles cable fixation surgeries for periprosthetic fracture of the femur. And the numerical relationship between torque and cable tension was assessed through mechanical tests. Using the torque vs. cable tension relationship, intraoperatively measured tightening torque was converted into a cable tension.

Intraoperative measurement of tightening torque In vivo data of the maximal torque which was applied by an experienced surgeon was measured using a torquemeter. Total 11 cases of periprosthetic femoral fractures from 11 patients were participated with their agreement. A two-side Dall-Miles cable tightener (Stryker Co., USA) was used. To measure the torque of Dall-Miles tightener applied by a surgeon, a torquemeter (Torque driver 80FTD2-N-S, TOHNICHI, JAPAN) was connected to the Dall-Miles tightener through a square groove. The groove was machined with 1cm × 1cm × 1cm in dimension on the proximal end of the rotational shaft of the Dall-Miles tightener.

Laboratory measurement of torque and tension To reveal the relationship between the torque of Dall-Miles cable tensioner and the tension of the cable, mechanical tests were done. A two-side Dall-Miles cable tightener were mounted to INSTRON (INSTRON, Norwood, MA, USA) using a customized fixation jig. One cable of 2 mm in diameter was connected to the upper head of INSTRON, and another to the lower headA preload was slowly applied to the cables up to 10 N so that the initially loose interaction among a tightener, two cables, and two loading heads of INSTRON became tight. Once the preloading finished, tightening torque and cable tension were simultaneously measured. The tightening torque was increased in increment of 1 N-m; accordingly, at each torque the tension hung to Dall-Miles cable was measured by reading loadcell data of INSTRON.

Results: Intraoperative tightening torque Intraoperatively measured maximal torque applied to the Dall-Miles cable tensioner was 5.7±0.5 N-m.

Numerical expression of torque-tension relationship Based on the data of tightening torque and cable tension measured from mechanical tests, the relationship between the torque (T) and tension (P) of Dall-Midles cable fixation system was numerically expressed. Total range of measured tightening torques and cable tensions was linearized. The linear expression was “T=106.8 × P”. Based on this numerical relationship, the amount of cable tension applied to the cable was calculated as 606.6±58 N.

Discussion: This study revealed that 606.6±58 N of cable tension has been applied when an experienced surgeon does cable fixation of periprosthetic fracture. Authors believe that the torque-tension relationship will provide a key biomechanical clue for biomechanics scientists, and the amount of intraoperative cable tension measured at the time of Dall-Miles cable fixation for periprosthetic fracture will provide an important surgical key reference for the surgeons who use the cable fixation system.
