Aims

Uncemented metal acetabular components show good osseointegration, but material stiffness causes stress shielding and retroacetabular bone loss. Cemented monoblock polyethylene components load more physiologically; however, the cement bone interface can suffer fibrous encapsulation and loosening. It was hypothesized that an uncemented titanium-sintered monoblock polyethylene component may offer the optimum combination of osseointegration and anatomical loading.

Methods

A total of 38 patients were prospectively enrolled and received an uncemented monoblock polyethylene acetabular (pressfit) component. This single cohort was then retrospectively compared with previously reported randomized cohorts of cemented monoblock (cemented) and trabecular metal (trabecular) acetabular implants. The primary outcome measure was periprosthetic bone density using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry over two years. Secondary outcomes included radiological and clinical analysis.

Introduction

Proximal short stems have gained in popularity for perceived bone preservation but more recently, physiological loading. We report the medium term success of a calcar loading, short stem in a large cohort from a single unit with multiple surgeons.

Patients/Materials & Methods

Prospectively collected sequential data, with no loss to follow-up, was retrospectively analysed from our own local database. Demographic data was assimilated to collect age, sex, BMI smoking history. Revision cases were analysed for cause and a PTIR and Kaplan Meier Curve constructed to quantify survival. Radiographs reviewed in 100 of the oldest (2009 to 2011) cases to look specifically for calcar resorption and stem sink. Imatri software was used for calculations: sink was categorised into greater or less than 0.5cm; calcar resorption was estimated using maximal osteotomy surface change of slope. Patient pre-operative and post-operative outcome scores (using Harris Hip, Charnley and Oxford scales) were extracted from the database.

The ODEP (Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel) rating system should offer a surgeon and patient extra information when making a choice on which implant to use. However, in the current economic environment, ratings may also influence implant choice by contracting bodies. Our aim was to determine the performance of commonly used Acetabular and femoral components in our unit and compare these to their published ODEP ratings (or absence of rating).

We analysed all of the following primary THR components (12,792) for revision for any reason, using same date ranges as ODEP where more than 100 implantations had occurred. Hip components: Trinity (3A in 2013), Trilogy (10A* in 2016), Atlas (10A in 2013), Trilogy TMT (10A 2010) Durom (not rated), BHR (10A, 2010), ACCIS (not rated); Femoral components: Taperfit (10A in 2013), Taperloc (10A* in 2016), Metafix (3A in 2013), CPT (10A in 2012), Ecofit (not Rated), ESOP (not rated), Minihip (3A 2013), Durom (not rated), BHR (10A 2010), ACCIS (not rated).

Analysis of Kaplan Meier survival curves was undertaken for all components. The rated components and non-rated components were compared using HR and logrank tests for all time groups when ratings were introduced. No statistical difference was observed in any group except for the Trinity cup which had a 98.2% (1344 cups) survival at 6 years.

Component survival in our unit was better than ODEP suggested failure for A category of not more than 1% per year, for all components.

Whilst we applaud the intention to improve data available for prostheses, the present ODEP system does not distinguish between performances of different implants in our unit. We therefore recommend care when relying upon ODEP ratings to make clinical or contracting decisions.

Introduction

Magnetic resonance arthrogram (MRA) is the investigation of choice in young adults with symptoms of femero acetabular impingement. The aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of MRA when correlated with surgical findings on hip arthroscopy.

Materials and Method

Between June 2007 and January 2014, 136 patients had MRA followed by subsequent arthroscopy at our institution. The radiology information system was used to gather MRA data. All scans were reported by a consultant radiologist with a specialist interest in musculoskeletal radiology. Patient records were reviewed to gather surgical data. Assessment was made of labral injury, Camshaft (CAM) or Pincer lesion and degeneration of the cartilage.

The ideal acetabular component is characterised by reliable, long-term fixation with physiological loading of bone and a low rate of wear. Trabecular metal is a porous construct of tantalum which promotes bony ingrowth, has a modulus of elasticity similar to that of cancellous bone, and should be an excellent material for fixation.

Between 2004 and 2006, 55 patients were randomised to receive either a cemented polyethylene or a monobloc trabecular metal acetabular component with a polyethylene articular surface. We measured the peri-prosthetic bone density around the acetabular components for up to two years using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

We found evidence that the cemented acetabular component loaded the acetabular bone centromedially whereas the trabecular metal monobloc loaded the lateral rim and behaved like a hemispherical rigid metal component with regard to loading of the acetabular bone. We suspect that this was due to the peripheral titanium rim used for the mechanism of insertion.
