United States Experience With a Femoral Neck Retaining Total Hip Arthroplasty Stem: A Retrospective Study With Control Comparison From the Literature. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:750-753. [PMID: 37640246 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.08.074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral neck retaining prostheses have gained popularity in Europe, but the United States has not seen the same trends occurring. Previous reports demonstrate high survivorship for these implants, but to our knowledge, there are no reports examining US data. METHODS After institutional review board approval, 824 primary total hip arthroplasties utilizing a femoral neck-retaining prosthesis were examined for femoral component survivorship rates. European studies were systematically reviewed to determine survivorship rates. The data were used to formulate a Kaplan-Meier survivorship curve and compare US data to that of the European studies. RESULTS European studies demonstrated survivorship rates for all causes of 97.7 and 99.0% for aseptic loosening at an average of 6 years (range, 4.5 to 10). The current study demonstrated an all-cause 94% Kaplan-Meier survivorship estimate at 5 years and when aseptic loosening only was considered, survivorship increased to 99.4% at 5 years and 98.4% at 11 years. CONCLUSION This femoral neck-retaining prosthesis demonstrated excellent survivorship that is comparable to the rates seen in European studies as well as the rates of standard and mid-stem prostheses in the United States.

Head, acetabular liner composition, and rate of revision and wear in total hip arthroplasty: a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20327. [PMID: 37989863 PMCID: PMC10663607 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47670-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure for patients suffering from hip pain e.g. from osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or hip fractures. The satisfaction of patients undergoing THA is influenced by the choice of implant type and material, with one key factor being the selection of the appropriate material combination for the bearing surface. In this Bayesian network meta-analysis, we investigated the impact of material combinations for the bearing surface on the longevity of hip implants. The wear penetration rate per year and the total wear penetration in the liner resulting from different material combinations, as well as the survival rate at last follow-up, were examined. We analyzed a total of 663,038 THAs, with 55% of patients being women. Mean patient age was 59.0 ± 8.1 years and mean BMI 27.6 ± 2.6 kg/m2. The combination of an aluminium oxide (Al2O3) head and an Al2O3 liner demonstrated the lowest wear penetration at last follow-up and the lowest rate of wear penetration per year. Additionally, the combination of a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) liner and a zircon oxide (ZrO2) head demonstrated the lowest rate of revision at last follow-up. These findings underscore the importance of careful material selection for hip implant bearing surfaces to optimize their longevity and patient satisfaction after THA.

Abstract
The present systematic review investigated the concentration of chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co) in serum in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA). The first outcome of interest was to investigate the mean concentration in serum of Cr and Co using different material combinations and to verify whether their concentrations change significantly using different patterns of head and liner in THA. The second outcome of interest was to investigate whether the time elapsed from the index surgery to the follow-up, BMI, sex, and side exert an influence on the mean concentration of Cr and Co in serum in patients who have undergone THA. The following material combinations were investigated (head-liner): Ceramic-Co Cr (CoCr), CoCr-CoCr, CoCr-Polyethylene, CoCr high carbide-CoCr high carbide. Data from 2756 procedures were retrieved. The mean length of follow-up was 69.3 ± 47.7 months. The ANOVA test evidenced good comparability in age, length of follow-up, BMI, and sex (P > 0.1). In patients who have undergone THA, the mean concentration in the serum of Co ranged between 0.5 µg/L and 3.5 µg/L, and the mean concentration of Cr from 0.6 to 2.6 µg/L. The difference in the concentration of Co and Cr in serum is strictly related to the implant configuration, with the coupling CoCr-CoCr showing the highest and CoCr-Polyethylene showing the lowest concentration. Patient characteristics, BMI, sex, side and the time elapsed from the index surgery to the last follow-up did not exert a significant influence on the concentration of Co and Cr in serum in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND To report clinical outcomes and survival at a minimum of 10 years of a consecutive series of uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) with fourth-generation ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings and determine the incidence of articular noises, their risk factors, and impact on quality of life (QoL). METHODS From a series of 456 CoC THAs, there were 25 revisions, 38 deceased, and 36 lost to follow-up. The remaining 357 hips were assessed at 11.1 ± 0.7 years (range, 10-14) using the Forgotten Joint Score, Oxford Hip Score, and a questionnaire on articular noises. Kaplan-Meier survival was calculated, and multivariable analysis was performed to determine associations between articular noise and patient/surgical factors. RESULTS The 10-year survival was 96.3% for the cup, 96.5% for the stem, and 94.2% for all components. The Forgotten Joint Score was 79 ± 26 (range, 0-100), and Oxford Hip Score was 16 ± 7 (range, 12-60). The mean impact of articular noises on QoL was 1.8 ± 2.9 (range, 0-9): considered negligible in 60 hips (16%), moderate in 27 hips (7%), and severe in only 13 hips (4%). Multivariable analyses revealed that the incidence of articular noise decreased with age (odds ratio [OR], 0.94; P = .001), body mass index (OR, 0.85; P = .001), and in hips implanted with 32-mm (vs 36 mm) heads (OR, 0.18; P = .030). CONCLUSION Of 100 hips (28%) that reported some articular noises 10 years after CoC THA, the impact of articular noises on QoL was negligible for most patients. Although larger heads can improve mobility and reduce risks of dislocations, surgeons must be aware that increasing head size could also increase risks of articular noises, notably in young and active patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently gained increased utilization as a screening modality in patients with a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Fluid collections have been documented in asymptomatic patients with various bearing surfaces. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and types of MARS MRI-documented abnormalities in asymptomatic patients with a ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) THA. METHODS Thirty-seven patients (42 hips) with a minimum 2-year follow-up after THA with CoC THA implants were enrolled in this study. The inclusion criteria were the absence of hip pain and the availability of appropriate follow-up radiographs. All patients underwent a MARS MRI. Abnormalities were documented using a previously described method. RESULTS Fluid collections were observed in 8 (19%) asymptomatic hips in this cohort. Four of the 8 hips demonstrated intracapsular synovitis, and 3 of these hips had a thickened synovium. Extra-articular fluid collections with direct intra-articular communication were identified in 4 hips, with 2 of these hips demonstrating synovial thickening. No signs of osteolysis were noted on radiographs or the MARS MRI scans. CONCLUSION Asymptomatic fluid collections occur in patients after CoC THA similar to other bearing surfaces. We continue to follow these patients in an effort to determine the clinical significance and natural history of these findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic Level IV.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings have shown problems of biocompatibility linked to metal ion release at the local level causing an adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) and at a systemic level. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes, and metal ion concentrations in the blood and urine of patients who underwent THA with the LIMA Met-Met hip system. Patients with ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings were included as a control group. In this study, 68 patients were enrolled: 34 with MoM THAs and 34 with CoC THAs. Patients were evaluated clinically (Harris Hip Score, SF-36) and radiologically at a median of 7.4 years after surgery. Whole blood and urinary cobalt and chromium levels were also assessed. Both types of implants were comparable in terms of clinical and functional results. Ion levels were significantly higher in the MoM group compared with CoC group 7 years after surgery. No correlations were found between metal ion levels and patient demographics, functional and radiological outcomes, and prosthesis features. Patient monitoring is thus advised to establish if prosthesis revision is necessary, especially in the case of MoM THA.
