Femoral component anteversion is an important factor in the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the accuracy of femoral component anteversion with the Mako THA system and software using the Exeter cemented femoral component, compared to the Accolade II cementless femoral component. We reviewed the data of 30 hips from 24 patients who underwent THA using the posterior approach with Exeter femoral components, and 30 hips from 24 patients with Accolade II components. Both groups did not differ significantly in age, sex, BMI, bone quality, or disease. Two weeks postoperatively, CT images were obtained to measure acetabular and femoral component anteversion.Aims
Methods
The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological
outcomes in patients with a displaced fracture of the hip who were
treated with a cemented or a cementless femoral stem. A four-year follow-up of a randomized controlled study included
141 patients who underwent surgery for a displaced femoral neck
fracture. Patients were randomized to receive either a cemented
(n = 67) or a cementless (n = 74) stem at hemiarthroplasty (HA;
n = 83) or total hip arthroplasty (THA; n = 58).Aims
Patients and Methods
The aim of this study was to identify the effect of the manufacturing characteristics of polyethylene acetabular liners on the survival of cementless and hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prospective cohort study using linked National Joint Registry (NJR) and manufacturer data. The primary endpoint was revision for aseptic loosening. Cox proportional hazard regression was the primary analytical approach. Manufacturing variables included resin type, crosslinking radiation dose, terminal sterilization method, terminal sterilization radiation dose, stabilization treatment, total radiation dose, packaging, and face asymmetry. Total radiation dose was further divided into G1 (no radiation), G2 (> 0 Mrad to < 5 Mrad), G3 (≥ 5 Mrad to < 10 Mrad), and G4 (≥ 10 Mrad).Aims
Methods
The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the minimum
five-year outcome of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using
the Kerboull acetabular reinforcement device (KARD) in patients
with Paprosky type III acetabular defects and destruction of the
inferior margin of the acetabulum. We identified 36 patients (37 hips) who underwent revision THA
under these circumstances using the KARD, fresh frozen allograft
femoral heads, and reconstruction of the inferior margin of the
acetabulum. The Merle d’Aubigné system was used for clinical assessment.
Serial anteroposterior pelvic radiographs were used to assess migration
of the acetabular component.Aims
