Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty is performed more frequently in younger patients nowadays, making long-term bone stock preservation an important topic. A mechanism for late implant failure is periprosthetic bone loss, caused by stress shielding around the hip stem due to different load distribution. Short stems are designed to keep the physical loading in the proximal part of the femur to reduce stress shielding. The aim of this review is to give more insight into how short and anatomic stems behave and whether they succeed in preservation of proximal bone stock. A systematic literature search was performed to find all published studies on bone mineral density in short and anatomic hip stems. Results on periprosthetic femoral bone mineral density, measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), were compiled and analysed per Gruen zone in percentual change. A total of 29 studies were included. In short stems, Gruen 1 showed bone loss of 5% after one year (n = 855) and 5% after two years (n = 266). Gruen 7 showed bone loss of 10% after one year and –11% after two years. In anatomic stems, Gruen 1 showed bone loss of 8% after one year (n = 731) and 11% after two years (n = 227). Gruen 7 showed bone loss of 14% after one year and 15% after two years. Short stems are capable of preserving proximal bone stock and have slightly less proximal bone loss in the first years, compared to anatomic stems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to compare radiographic and digital tomosynthesis assessments of early biological fixation of a cementless stem in primary total hip arthroplasty and to investigate the factors associated with early biological fixation. METHODS Seventy-three patients underwent total hip arthroplasty using cementless short tapered-wedge stems. Both radiography and digital tomosynthesis were performed at 6 weeks and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. The presence of spot welds (SW) was evaluated at each postoperative period to assess biological fixation between the stem and the femur. The area of contact between the femur and the stem was divided into seven zones based on Gruen's zone classification. RESULTS All 73 patients had no SW 6 weeks after surgery on radiography and digital tomosynthesis. Three months postoperatively, there was no SW on radiography; however, digital tomosynthesis revealed SW in 31 (42%) patients. Six months postoperatively, radiography showed 22 SW in 18 (24.7%) patients and digital tomosynthesis showed 94 SW in 48 patients (65.8%). CONCLUSION Digital tomosynthesis detected biological fixation between the stem and femur earlier than radiography; biological fixation may appear within 3 months after surgery.

Clinical usefulness of single photon emission tomography/computed tomography with stress analysis in early diagnoses of stem instability of noncemented hip arthroplasty. Nucl Med Commun 2020; 42:244-252.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hip pain arising from implant instability is generally caused by repetitive stress injury, which subsequently leads to induction or exacerbation of abnormal metabolism of bone around the implant. single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPECT-CT) has advantages in localizing areas of increased tracer uptake that reflects such abnormal bone metabolism. Therefore, we investigated whether the application of SPECT/CT with stress analysis can be an effective practice in evaluating the instability of stem in noncemented hip arthroplasty or not. METHOD In total 16 patients were collected for unexplained painful hip arthroplasties. When physical examination and blood tests were unremarkable, radiographs were inconclusive and bone scan indicated increased scintigraphic uptake at the proximal part and at the tip of the stem; SPECT/CT was performed. Stem stability was assessed by measuring whether there was consistency between the increased scintigraphic uptake and the direction of the stress around the implant along with the location of the prosthesis. RESULT Among the 16 symptomatic hips, 9 hips showed the stability of the stem, 3 hips showed the stem instability and 4 hips showed the acetabular loosening with the stem stability. With the application of SPECT/CT with stress analysis, 15 out of 16 (93.7%) cases were found to have the change in the diagnoses, and managements were implemented in 11 out of 16 (68.7%) cases. When comparing before and after SPECT/CT, there was no significant association in clinical diagnosis and management (Pearson chi- square test = 4.61 and 1.33, P = 0.33 and 0.25). CONCLUSION SPECT/CT combined with stress analysis can be a useful tool in early diagnosis of stem instability and can assist surgeons in subsequent management and decision implementation when other radiographic imagings are inconclusive.

Abstract
Background Periprosthetic bone remodeling, which is a phenomenon observed in all femoral stems, has a multifactorial origin as it depends on factors related to the patient, the surgical technique, and the design of the implant. To determine the pattern of remodeling produced by 2 models of anatomic cementless implants, we quantified the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in the 7 areas of Gruen observed at different moments after surgery during the first postoperative year. Methods A prospective, comparative, controlled, 1-year follow-up densitometric study was carried out in 2 groups of patients suffering from primary unilateral hip osteoarthritis. In the first group, with 68 patients, an ABG-II stem was implanted. In the second, with 66 patients, the ANATO stem was used. The contralateral, healthy hip was taken as a control. Results Both groups showed a decrease in BMD at 3 months in all the areas, which recovered at the end of the study, except in zone 7: there was a 17.7% decrease in the ABG-II group and a 5.9% decrease in the ANATO group. In zones 2 and 6, where more loads are transmitted, conservation of BMD is observed in response to Wolff's law. The differences in the pattern of remodeling between groups were maintained despite the age, gender, and BMI of the patients or the size of the implants. Conclusion The ANATO stem achieved a more efficient transmission of loads at the metaphyseal level, which promotes bone preservation at the proximal femur, than the ABG-II stem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In vitro wear studies demonstrate decreased polyethylene wear with a ceramic compared with a metal humeral head. In this in vivo study, we analyzed prospectively collected 5-year data, comparing the outcomes of 2 types of humeral implants. METHODS Sixty-two anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties (TSAs) (59 patients) were performed using the same glenoid component and 2 types of modular humeral implants (metal-head long-stem prosthesis in group A vs. ceramic-head stemless prosthesis in group B). Radiographic analysis for proximal humeral osteolysis and glenoid component radiolucent lines was performed at an average of 5.5 years. Functional outcomes were prospectively evaluated according to the visual analog scale score for pain; satisfaction level; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score; active elevation; Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score; and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score. RESULTS There were 39 TSAs in group A (mean age, 68.1 years) and 23 TSAs in group B (mean age, 67 years). Clinical improvement was similar for both groups. Some proximal humeral osteolysis occurred in 56% of all TSAs. Group A showed increased osteolysis compared with group B (72% vs. 30%, P = .005). Glenoid radiolucent lines were far more frequent in group A, and group A showed a direct relationship between the extent of humeral osteolysis and the severity of glenoid radiolucent lines (P < .001). CONCLUSION The stemless ceramic-head replacements showed fewer glenoid radiolucent lines and less humeral osteolysis than the long-stem metal-head replacements. In the group with metal-head replacements, correlation was shown between glenoid radiolucent lines and humeral osteolysis.

Abstract
Background This retrospective study investigated the clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes, and bone remodeling patterns associated with a Medial/Lateral Taper (M/L Taper) stem and Link Classic Uncemented (LCU) stem in 1-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). Material/Methods The results of 52 patients who underwent 1-stage bilateral THA with a M/L Taper stem on one side and an LCU stem on the other between January 2012 and February 2015 were retrospectively compared. Patients were clinically assessed by the Harris hip score (HHS), visual analogue score (VAS) and incidence of complications. Radiological indicators were measured. Periprosthetic bone remodeling was assessed via bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. Results The mean follow-up time was 5.2 years. At each follow-up, there was no difference in the HHS and VAS between the 2 groups. The neck-shaft angle, offset, vertical height of the rotational center and limb lengthening were lower in the M/L Taper group than in the LCU group (P<0.001). The Engh total score was lower in the LCU group (P=0.039). Significantly higher (P<0.001) BMDs were observed in the M/L Taper group in Gruen zones 1, 2, and 6. significantly lower (P<0.001) BMDs were observed in the M/L Taper group in Gruen zones 3 and 5. Conclusions Due to the increased postoperative neck-shaft angle, the full coated dual-wedge classic stem was prone to cause lower limb lengthening. The proximal coated single-wedge new stem patients were more likely to have an insufficient postoperative neck length. The new stem achieved load transfer and proximal fixation, leading to better proximal femoral bone preservation is more in line with human biomechanical characteristics.

Abstract
The bone mineral density (BMD) around a femoral component changes after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the morphology of the preoperative proximal femoral canal on the postoperative BMD change of the femur around a Zweymüller-type stem. The authors performed a retrospective review of their institutional arthroplasty database. Patients were classified into following 3 groups according to canal flare index (CFI): CFI<3.0, stovepipe group; 3.0<CFI<4.7, normal group; and CFI>4.7, champagne-flute group. This study included 120 hips of 112 patients (26 hips with stovepipe femurs, 72 hips with normal femurs, and 22 hips with champagne-flute femurs) in patients who had undergone THA using the Zweymüller-type stem. The BMD of the proximal femur (Gruen's zones 1-7) was measured at 3 weeks and 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. At each follow-up period, the differences in the relative change in the BMD were not statistically significant in any regions of interest among the 3 groups. This study showed the lack of significant differences in the relative change in the BMD among the different morphologies of the proximal femoral canal. The preoperative morphology of the femoral canal did not affect the postoperative BMD change around the Zweymüller-type stem at 2 years postoperatively. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(5):e449-e453.].

Abstract
Background Femoral bone remodeling around hip prosthesis after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is definite but unpredictable in time and place. This study aimed to investigate the implant-specific remodeling and periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes after implantation of the Ribbed anatomic cementless femoral stem. Methods After power analysis, 41 patients who had undergone primary unilateral THA with the Ribbed anatomic cementless stem were included. BMD of the seven Gruen zones was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and the contact, fitness, and fixation of the femoral stem and proximal femur were analyzed by X-ray. Additional clinical outcome parameters were also recorded. Results Compared with the contralateral unoperated side, significant reductions of BMD were detected in the distal zone (Gruen zone 4: 1.665±0.198 versus 1.568±0.242 g/cm2, P=0.001) and middle distal zone (Gruen zone 5: 1.660±0.209 versus 1.608±0.215 g/cm2, P=0.026) on the prosthetic side, but no significant differences in BMD were detected in other zones (Gruen zones 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7). Subgroups analyses indicated no significant correlation between periprosthetic BMD changes and clinical factors including primary disease and body mass index. Visible areas of bone ingrowth indicated solid fixation of the femoral stem and there was no case of loosening. Clinical and functional outcome scores were excellent with mean HHS of 93.13 points and mean WOMAC score of 5.20 points, and three patients described intermittent mild thigh pain at the final follow-up. Conclusions For the Ribbed femoral stem, the periprosthetic BMD was well maintained in the proximal femur, while periprosthetic BMD was significantly reduced in the distal and middle distal zones of the femur. Further clinical investigations are required to examine the efficacy of the Ribbed stem, particularly with regard to long-term survival. This trial is registered with ChiCTR1800017750.

Abstract
Implant failure and periprosthetic fractures because of periprosthetic bone loss are a major concern in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Hardly any clinical data exist on the long-term evolution of bone mineral density (BMD) around uncemented femoral implants. The question to address is whether relevant bone loss continues into third decade around well-fixed uncemented femoral implants. BMD around stable uncemented straight titanium femoral implants was assessed in a longitudinal cohort study. We included 142 hips of 128 patients and measured the development of the periprosthetic BMD using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The baseline measurement was 12 years (t1) after the implantation of an uncemented femoral stem. Follow-up-measurements were performed at 17 (t2) and at 21 years (t3) after primary THA. The regions of interest (ROI) were selected conforming to Gruen et al. We acquired complete data including three consecutive measurements (t1, t2, t3) for 42 patients (49 hips). Performing radiographic evaluation at t1, t2 and t3, we found a regular bone-implant interface present in all cases. Significant decrease in BMD could be shown in ROI 1 (p = 0.0001; - 7.8%), 4 (p = 0.024; - 2.4%), 6 (p = 0.001; - 5.5%) and 7 (p < 0.0001; - 11.7%) between t1 and t3 and in ROI 1 (p = 0.002; - 3.7%), 2 (p = 0.046; - 3.6%), 4 (p = 0.002; - 2.7%) and 7 (p < 0.0001; - 8.0%) between t2 and t3. There were significant differences in overall bone density (netavg) between t1 and t3 (p = 0.001; - 3.6%) and between t2 and t3 (p = 0.020; - 2.1%). The data indicate clinically relevant changes of BMD especially in the proximal Gruen zones in the long-term after uncemented THA. Loss of periprosthetic BMD might be a risk factor for periprosthetic fractures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current total hip arthroplasty (THA) implant usage trends favor cementless fixation, and plenty studies have demonstrated that numbers of cementless femoral stems are associated with excellent long-term survivorship and functional outcomes. Various types of cementless femoral stems have been developed and utilized in multiple applications, including straight, tapered, anatomic, customized, short, and even neck stems. All of these designs aimed to achieve maximal primary stability and promote osseointegration. Nevertheless, stress-shielding and periprosthetic bone loss continue to occur and remain critical issues in promoting long-term survivorship of THA. Considering anatomic and tapered stems are the most popular cementless designs today, this prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of stem design on stress-shielding and periprosthetic bone remodeling after implantation of an anatomic stem with proximal fixation (Ribbed Hip system; Waldemar Link, Hamburg, Germany) and the direct comparison to a fully coated tapered stem (LCU Hip system; Waldemar Link). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study will comprise patients who receive primary unilateral THA with the Ribbed anatomic hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stem or LCU tapered fully HA-coated stem. The changes in periprosthetic bone mineral density after insertion of Ribbed and LCU stem prostheses will be assessed by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the periprosthetic region of interest according to Gruen and colleagues. Standard anteroposterior and lateral plain radiography will be performed for qualitative assessment of the periprosthetic bone remodeling. The following items will be analyzed or measured on follow-up radiographs to compare with the initial appearance on the radiographs taken immediately postoperatively: cortical thickness in each Gruen zone, fitness of the distal stem within the isthmus, femoral stem alignment, radiolucent line, reactive line, periosteal bone reactions, and subsidence. Biologic fixation and stability of the cementless implant will be evaluated using Engh grading scale, and heterotopic ossification will be graded according to Brooker classification. Furthermore, Harris hip score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index Score will also be assessed for postoperative functional evaluation. These radiologic and clinical assessments will be taken postoperatively, at 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years after surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study was approved by The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University Ethics Committee. The study results will be disseminated at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Impaction bone grafting (IBG) is an established method in hip revision surgery to reconstruct loss of bone stock. There is limited knowledge concerning the actual bone remodelling process within the allograft. We investigated with repeated bone mineral density (BMD) measurements the biological process of bone remodelling in the allograft in vivo. We hypothesized that an initial decrease in BMD would be followed by an increase towards baseline values. Patients and methods - Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure BMD values in 3 regions of interest (ROI) in 20 patients (average age at surgery 70 years, 11 males) after an acetabular reconstruction with IBG and a cemented cup. A postoperative DXA was used as baseline and DXA was repeated at 3 and 6 months and at 1 and 2 years. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS), the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF12), and a 0 to 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and satisfaction were obtained simultaneously. Results - The overall mean BMD in the IBG regions increased significantly by 9% (95% CI 2-15) at 2 years' follow-up. In the cranial ROI BMD increased 14% (CI 6-22), whereas the BMD in the medial and caudal ROI showed an increase of 10% (CI 1-18) and 4% (CI -6-16), respectively. The OHS, SF12-mental, and VAS for pain all improved statistically significantly 2 years after surgery, with a mean VAS for satisfaction of 77 (CI 63-90) out of 100 points. The SF12-physical showed non-significant improvement. Interpretation - The BMD in the allograft gradually increased after IBG for acetabular reconstruction arthroplasties, particularly in the cranial ROI. An initial decrease in the BMD was not encountered. These BMD changes, as proxy measurements for bone remodeling, may indicate progressive apposition of vital new host bone in the grafted area.

Humeral bone resorption after anatomic shoulder arthroplasty using an uncemented stem. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2017; 26:1984-1989. [PMID: 28688934 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2017.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2016] [Revised: 04/18/2017] [Accepted: 04/26/2017] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone resorption around the femoral stem after total hip arthroplasty is a well-known phenomenon. However, only a few studies have evaluated bone resorption after shoulder arthroplasty. This study investigated the prevalence of humeral bone resorption after different shoulder arthroplasty procedures. METHODS The study included 147 shoulders that underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or humeral head replacement (HHR) with an uncemented humeral stem from November 2008 to May 2015 and were monitored for more than 1 year. The prevalence of humeral bone resorption and risk factors were investigated. RESULTS The most advanced grade of bone resorption, grade 0, occurred in 21 shoulders (14.3%). Grade 1 bone resorption occurred in 10 (6.8%), grade 2 in 28 (19.0%), grade 3 in 61 (41.5%), and grade 4 in 27 (18.4%). High occurrence of bone absorption was observed in zones 1, 2, and 7. Grade 4 bone resorption did not occur in zones 3 and 5. HHR, on-growth type stem coating, and occupation ratio were significant independent risk factors for grade ≥3 bone resorption, whereas female sex and HHR were significant independent risk factors for grade 4. CONCLUSION Bone resorption was observed in 126 shoulders (85.7%), and full-thickness cortical bone resorption occurred in 27 shoulders (18.4%). Bone resorption was frequently observed at the greater tuberosity, lateral diaphysis, and calcar region (zones 1, 2, and 7). Significant risk factors included female sex, HHR with rotator cuff reconstruction, on-growth type stem coating, and high occupation ratio of the implant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-stem total hip arthroplasty (SHA) has been increasingly used in the treatment of hip arthroplasty. However, it is unclear whether there is a superiority of SHA in periprosthetic bone remodeling over standard stem total hip arthroplasty (THA). This meta-analysis of randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) compared the periprosthetic bone remodeling after SHA and THA. METHODS PubMed and Embase were screened for relevant publications up to May 2017. RCTs that compared periprosthetic bone remodeling with bone mineral density (BMD) changes between SHA and THA were included. Meta-analysis was conducted to calculate weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Stata version 12.0. Quality appraisal was performed by 2 independent reviewers using RevMan 5.3 software and Grades of Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria. RESULTS Seven studies involving 910 patients and 5 SHA designs (Proxima, Fitmore, Microplasty short, Unique custom, and Omnifit-HA 1017) were included for meta-analysis. The pooled data showed no significant differences in the percentage BMD changes in all Gruen zones, with Gruen zone 1 [mean difference (MD) = 11.33, 95% CI, -1.67 to 24.33; P = .09] and Gruen zone 7 (MD = 8.46, 95% CI, -1.73 to 18.65; P = .10). Subgroup analysis of short SHA stems with lateral flare showed a significant less percentage BMD changes compared with standard THA in Gruen zone 1 (MD = 27.57, 95% CI, 18.03-37.12; P < .0001) and Gruen zone 7 (MD = 18.54, 95% CI, 8.27-28.81; P < .0001). CONCLUSION The study shows moderate-quality evidence that periprosthetic bone remodeling around the analyzed SHA stems was similar to standard THA stems. However, short SHA stems with lateral flare revealed a moderate- to low-quality evidence for superiority over the standard THA and highlighted the importance of the different SHA designs. Besides, it has to be noticed that despite a similar pattern of periprosthetic bone remodeling, the femoral length where periprosthetic bone remodeling occurs is clearly shorter in SHA. Due to the moderate- to low-quality evidence and the limited stem designs analyzed, the further large-scale multicenter RCTs including the most recent SHA designs are required. However, the current findings should be considered by surgeons for counseling patients regarding total hip replacement.

Comparison of anatomic vs. straight femoral stem design in total hip replacement - femoral canal fill in vivo. Hip Int 2017; 27:241-244.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The femoral canal fill between an anatomic and a straight prosthesis design in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) was compared. We hypothesised that the anatomic SPS stem has higher proximal fill and lesser distal fill than the straight stem. MATERIAL AND METHODS The femoral canal fill was measured on 3 months routine postoperative x-rays at 5 levels of the stem in 50 consecutive patients, aged 35-83 years, who underwent 56 THA procedures by a single surgeon in this hospital. 22 patients received a straight design Ceramconcept Global stem, 34 patients received an anatomic design Symbios SPS stem. Both anteroposterior (AP) and lateral x-rays were combined to suggest a 3-D measurement. RESULTS On the AP x-rays, the canal fill was significantly higher using the anatomic design stem at the proximal measurement levels, and was significantly higher at the distal levels using the straight stem. With the AP and lateral x-rays combined, the canal fill at the proximal levels was also significantly higher in the anatomic groups, nonsignificantly lower at the central level and significantly lower at the distal levels. DISCUSSION In THA surgery, achieving high fill at the metaphysis of the femur and less fill at the diaphysis has been suggested to result in satisfactory outcome and high stability of the prosthesis. This study demonstrated that, compared to straight stem design, an anatomically designed stem has a significantly higher metaphyseal femoral canal fill.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Periprosthetic bone loss may lead to major complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA), including loosening, migration, and even fracture. This study analysed the influence of femoral implant designs on periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) after THA. METHODS The results of all previous published studies reporting periprosthetic femoral BMD following THA were compiled. Using these results, we compared percent changes in bone loss as a function of: femoral stem fixation, material, and geometry. RESULTS The greatest bone loss was in the calcar region (Gruen Zone 7). Overall, cemented stems had more bone loss distally than noncemented stems, while noncemented stems had more proximal bone loss than cemented stems. Within noncemented stems, cobalt-chromium (CoCr) stems had nearly double the proximal bone loss compared to titanium (Ti) alloy stems. Finally, within noncemented titanium alloy group, straight stems had less bone loss than anatomical, tapered, and press-fit designs. DISCUSSION The findings from the present study quantified percent changes in periprosthetic BMD as a function of fixation method, alloy, and stem design. While no one stem type was identified as ideal, we now have a clearer understanding of the influence of stem design on load transfer to the surrounding bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femurs of dysplastic hips exhibit specific abnormalities, and use of modular or specially designed components is recommended. An anatomic short stem was previously designed specifically for dysplastic hips using 3-dimensional data acquired from dysplastic patients. To investigate effects of stem geometry on bone remodeling, we undertook a prospective, randomized study of patients who had undergone 1-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the anatomic short stem on one side and a conventional straight stem on the other. METHODS The study included 36 patients who underwent the above THA procedure. We assessed bone mineral density as well as the presence of cancellous condensation or bony atrophy due to stress shielding based on the analysis of Gruen's zones and newly defined equal-interval zones, at an average follow-up period of 9.2 years. RESULTS All stems were bone ingrown stable. Cancellous condensation was observed more proximally, and areas of bone atrophy were narrower on the anatomic short stem side than on the straight stem side. Bone mineral density values reflected results of cancellous condensation and stress shielding and were higher in more proximal zones on the anatomic short stem side than on the straight stem side. CONCLUSION Although radiographic results indicated good midterm outcomes of THA with both stems, the loading pattern differed. The anatomic short stem achieved its design purpose in terms of proximal fixation and load transfer and led to better preservation of the proximal femur.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate the dynamics of cortical thinning around well fixed cemented Muller straight stems without osteolysis at different time periods during long term follow-up. We investigated patients operated on for osteoarthritis with a cemented Muller straight stem, all with more than 15 years follow-up and no radiological signs of osteolysis. Cortical thinning in 20 THA hips (19 patients) followed for a mean of 20 (16 to 22) years was measured medially and laterally at six levels from the first postoperative, five, 10 years and the last follow-up x-rays. Sixty percent of observed cortical thinning occurred during the first five postoperative years, which was more evident proximally. We conclude that significantly greater cortical bone loss occurs around cemented Muller straight stems during the first five years, than is seen subsequently. We feel that this is a non-pathological process mainly related to the Muller straight stem.

Abstract
PURPOSE The trabecular-orientated bionic hip stem was designed to mimic the natural force transmission through the femur in total hip arthroplasty, resulting in supposedly longer prosthesis survivability. The aim of this study was to compare the second-generation bionic hip stem to a standard uncemented hip stem. METHODS A group of 18 patients (21 hips) who underwent total hip arthroplasty with a bionic stem (bionic group) was compared with a historic group of 12 patients (12 hips) treated with standard anatomic hip stem (control group). During the first year after the procedure, the densitometric measurements of the bone around the prosthesis were taken. Radiographic and clinical assessments were additionally performed preoperatively and at the three month, six month, one year and three year follow-ups in the bionic group. RESULTS In the bionic group, one patient was revised for aseptic loosening and 16 patients (19 hips) were available to the final follow-up. A significant decrease of bone mineral density was found in Gruen zones 3, 4 and 5 in the bionic group, and in zone 7 in both groups. The bionic group had a significantly higher bone mineral density in Gruen zone 1 at the one year follow-up. At the final follow-up, all prostheses were radiologically stable in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Provided that a good implant position is achieved, comparable short-term results can be obtained using a bionic stem. Still, a decrease of bone mineral density in Gruen zone 7 occurred in both groups. Further studies are required to determine survivability of the bionic stem.

Abstract
The impact of total hip arthroplasty on strain adaptive bone remodeling has been extensively analyzed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. In this study, we present a prospective computed tomography-assisted study of periacetabular cortical and cancellous bone mineral density (in milligrams of calcium hydroxyapatite [CaHA] per milliliter, or mgCaHA/mL) changes 10 days and 1, 3, and 7 years after press-fit cup implantation for 38 hips in vivo. Cancellous bone mineral density decreased by Ø -63% ventral and Ø -85% dorsal to the cup; cortical bone mineral density, by Ø -22% ventral and Ø -18% dorsal to the cup. The presented periacetabular strain adaptive bone mineral density data are the most extensive of the current literature. Even the measured extensive cancellous bone mineral density loss was thus far of no clinical relevance because all cups showed radiographic signs of stable ingrowth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a follow-up of a previously reported three-year study, we analyzed the periprosthetic acetabular cortical and cancellous bone density changes at ten years after implantation of a press-fit cup. METHODS Prospective clinical, radiographic, and quantitative computed tomography examinations were performed within ten days and at mean periods of one, three, and ten years after total hip arthroplasty with a press-fit cup, a femoral stem with a tapered design, and alumina-alumina pairing. Periacetabular cortical and cancellous bone density (mg CaHA/mL) in the cranial, ventral, and dorsal regions about the cup were measured for twenty-four hips in vivo. RESULTS All acetabular cups showed radiographic signs of stable ingrowth, and no acetabular component had to be revised. The loss of periacetabular cancellous bone density about the cup was as much as -37% cranially, -60% ventrally, and -71% dorsally; the decrease was progressive between the one-year and three-year examinations only. In contrast, cortical bone density above the dome of the acetabular cup remained constant throughout the ten-year follow-up. A moderate change in cortical bone density of -5% to -18% was seen at the level of the cup ten years postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Both periacetabular cortical and cancellous bone density changes were nonprogressive between the three-year and ten-year examinations after press-fit cup fixation.

Abstract
Mechanical effects have been demonstrated to activate periprosthetic osteoclasts and hence to promote bone resorption. However, the periprosthetic mechanical effect on osteoblast function is not clearly understood. The purpose of this study was to explore whether the high pressure on bone caused by a prosthesis affects periprosthetic osteoblast function. We applied static pressure of various magnitudes to SV40-transfected human fetal osteoblast cells, then assayed bioactivities compared to cells cultured without pressure (control). The results showed that osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, necrosis, and mineralization were all sensitive to static pressure, and the effects were magnitude dependent. Low-level static pressure (20 kPa) enhanced osteogenesis. Under 50-100 kPa static pressure, proliferation was inhibited and apoptosis was enhanced, but the cellular phenotype could be maintained. High pressure (250-500 kPa) totally inhibited the bioactivity of the osteoblasts and induced necrosis. Mineralization nodules decreased significantly under 100 kPa pressure, while no nodules could be found under 250 and 500 kPa pressure. RUNX2, COL-1, and BGP mRNA expression was significantly downregulated under 250 and 500 kPa. SOX9 expression was significantly upregulated at 100 kPa but significantly downregulated at 250 and 500 kPa. RANKL/OPG expression was increased under pressure, and the differences were significant at 100 and 500 kPa. These results suggest that periprosthetic high pressure may inhibit osteogenesis and promote osteoclastogenesis. Countermeasures should be developed to improve periprosthetic osteogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 1991, 230 cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with anatomical Stolzalpe-Buchner-Graf (SBG) stems were implanted in 230 patients at our hospital. Patients were examined retrospectively and consecutively 15 years after the operations. METHODS In total, 118 patients were available for follow-up (average 12.8 +/- 3.8 years postoperatively), with 44 examined clinically/radiologically at our hospital and 74 interviewed by telephone. Five THAs needed revision (stem explantation), three for aseptic loosening. Average patient age at the time of surgery was 61 years (27-91 years). For all THAs, we implanted ceramic-to-metal heads in combination with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene inlay (ceramic/polyethylene and metal/polyethylene articulating components). RESULTS The survival rate of the SBG stem was 98.13% (CI 94.32-99.39%) with aseptic loosening as the endpoint and 96.98% (CI 92.85-98.74%) with revision and stem explantation for any other reason as the endpoint. The average Harris Hip Score was 36.0 +/- 6.9 (range 22-45) preoperatively, increasing to 88.2 +/- 15.3 (30-100) for clinically evaluated patients and 80.3 +/- 11.3 (27-91) for telephone-interviewed patients at 15 years postoperatively. Osteolysis and radiolucent lines around the prosthetic stem were rarely observed (mainly at the proximal diaphysis). CONCLUSION These follow-up results emphasize the excellent long-term outcomes associated with the SBG stem.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Factors that lead to periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty (THA) may not only depend on biomechanical implant-related factors, but also on various patient-related factors. We investigated the association between early changes in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and patient-related factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS 39 female patients underwent cementless THA (ABG II) with ceramic-ceramic bearing surfaces. Periprosthetic BMD in the proximal femur was determined with DXA after surgery and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. 27 patient-related factors were analyzed for their value in prediction of periprosthetic bone loss. RESULTS Total periprosthetic BMD was temporarily reduced by 3.7% at 3 months (p < 0.001), by 3.8% at 6 months (p < 0.01), and by 2.6% at 12 months (p < 0.01), but recovered thereafter up to 24 months. Preoperative systemic osteopenia and osteoporosis, but not the local BMD of the operated hip, was predictive of bone loss in Gruen zone 7 (p = 0.04), which was the only region with a statistically significant decrease in BMD (23%, p < 0.001) at 24 months. Preoperative serum markers of bone turnover predicted the early temporary changes of periprosthetic BMD. The other patient-related factors failed to show any association with the periprosthetic BMD changes. INTERPRETATION Female patients with low systemic BMD show greater bone loss in Gruen zone 7 after cementless THA than patients with normal BMD. Systemic DXA screening for osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients before THA could be used to identify patients in need of prophylactic anti-resorptive therapy.

Abstract
A cementless composite femoral stem was developed with the aim of reducing bone loss secondary to stress shielding. Thirty-one stems were implanted in 27 patients, combined with a cementless acetabular component with polyethylene bearing surface in 30 cases and a bipolar head in 1 case. Patients were followed-up annually with clinical and radiographic evaluation. Fourteen hips underwent dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans to monitor postoperative bone mineral density around the stem. The mean follow-up was 10.1 years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 57 to 92. To date, no stem has required revision. All stems are radiographically stable. Acetabular component revision has been required in 8 cases; 3 for liner dissociation and 5 for polyethylene wear. Radiographs and DEXA scans have shown some improvement in bone mineral density (BMD) between the 2 and 5-year follow-up. A cohort of patients displayed improvement in radiographic appearance and BMD in Gruen zone 7. This stem shows evidence of proximal bone preservation and has excellent results at medium to long-term follow-up. The limiting factor in our cohort of patients has been the polyethylene bearing surface.
