Aims

The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence of early periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) associated with Charnley-Kerboull (CK) femoral components cemented according to the ‘French paradox’ principles through the Hueter anterior approach (HAA) in patients older than 70 years.

Methods

From a prospectively collected database, all short CK femoral components implanted consecutively from January 2018 to May 2022 through the HAA in patients older than 70 years were included. Exclusion criteria were age below 70 years, use of cementless femoral component, and approaches other than the HAA. A total of 416 short CK prostheses used by 25 surgeons with various levels of experience were included. All patients had a minimum of one-year follow-up, with a mean of 2.6 years (SD 1.1). The mean age was 77.4 years (70 to 95) and the mean BMI was 25.3 kg/m2 (18.4 to 43). Femoral anatomy was classified according to Dorr. The measured parameters included canal flare index, morphological cortical index, canal-calcar ratio, ilium-ischial ratio, and anterior superior iliac spine to greater trochanter (GT) distance.

Periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is of raising concern with the aging of the population. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the incidence of early PFF associated with Charnley- Kerboull (CK) stems cemented line-to-line according to the “French paradox” principles through the anterior approach (AA) in patients older than 70 years old.

This monocentric study involved 25 surgeons with various level of experience. From a prospectively collected database, all CK stems (AmisK®, Medacta, Castel San Pietro, Switzerland) done consecutively from January 2018 to May 2022 through the AA in patients older than 70 years were included. The measured parameters included canal flare index (CFI), morphological cortical index (MCI), canal-calcar ratio (CCR), ilium-ischial ratio (IIR), ilium overhang, and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to greater trochanter distance. Dorr classification was also recorded.

A total of 416 CK stems performed by 25 surgeons were included. All patients had a minimal 3-month follow-up. The mean age was 77.4 years, and the mean BMI was 25.3 kg/m2. According to the Dorr classification 240 hips were of Dorr type A, 144 Dorr type B, and 2 Dorr type C. Mean CFI, MCI, CCR, IIR and ASIS-GT were 3.8, 0.5, 2.8, 2.5, and 101mm, respectively. Amongst the 416 THAs, one (0.24%; 95% CI 0.20 – 0.28%) early PFF Vancouver type B2 fracture that occurred 24 days postoperatively was observed.

This study demonstrated that CK stems cemented according to the “French Paradox” were associated with an extremely low rate of early PFF in patients over 70 years. The observed results are better than those reported with uncemented or taper slip cemented stems. Longer follow-up is warranted to evaluate further rate of fracture that may occur during the bone remodeling process around the femoral component.

Aims

The primary aim of this study was to determine the ten-year outcome following surgical treatment for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We assessed whether the evolution of practice from open to arthroscopic techniques influenced outcomes and tested whether any patient, radiological, or surgical factors were associated with outcome.

Methods

Prospectively collected data of a consecutive single-surgeon cohort, operated for FAI between January 2005 and January 2015, were retrospectively studied. The cohort comprised 393 hips (365 patients; 71% male (n = 278)), with a mean age of 34.5 years (SD 10.0). Over the study period, techniques evolved from open surgical dislocation (n = 94) to a combined arthroscopy-Hueter technique (HA + Hueter; n = 61) to a pure arthroscopic technique (HA; n = 238). Outcome measures of interest included modes of failures, complications, reoperation, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Demographic, radiological, and surgical factors were tested for possible association with outcome.

This study aimed to analyse the incidence, the operative findings and outcomes of hip arthroscopy after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO).

We conducted a retrospective study of prospective collected data to report the operative findings and outcomes of hip arthroscopy for recurrent pain following PAO for acetabular dysplasia. Demographic data, radiographic and arthroscopic findings were analysed. Pre- and post-operative patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were collected.

Of 184 PAO patients, 15 hips in 15 patients (8.2%) underwent post-PAO hip arthroscopy with 2 males and 13 females at a mean time of 3.9 ±2.9(0.3–10) years. Hip arthroscopy findings included labral tears (15 hips, 100%), chondral damage (11 hips, 73%) with one Beck 1, two Beck 2, four Beck 4, and four Beck 5 damage. There were 8 (53%) isolated labral debridement, 7 (47%) labral repair, and 2 (13%) adhesiolysis. A femoral osteochondroplasty was performed in 4 (27%) hips. Four hips (27%) were finally converted to total hip replacement at a mean delay of 2.3 ±1.4 (0.7–3.2) years post hip arthroscopy and these 4 patients were significantly older than those who were not (p=0.02). There were no significant differences in PROMs pre and post hip scope.

8.2% of patients undergoing a PAO required a hip scope for persistent hip pain. Common post-PAO hip arthroscopy findings included labral tears, chondral changes and femoroacetabular impingement. 27% of patients finally underwent conversion to total hip replacement at a mean follow-up of 4.5 years post hip scope.
