Abstract
There is great difficulty in quickly calculating the impingement-free range of motion (IFROM) of hip components with complex shapes after total hip arthroplasty. We have established a new algorithm to investigate the effect of different shapes of hip components on the IFROM and impingement-free safe zone (IFSZ). Then find the best combination of hip prosthesis and the optimal mounting position of the elevated-rim liner under different radiographic anteversion (RA) and radiographic inclination (RI) of the cup. We found the larger the opening angle of the beveled-rim liner and the smaller the cross-sectional area of the stem neck with an inverted teardrop cross-sectional shape, the greater the IFROM of the hip component. The beveled-rim liner in combination with the stem neck with an inverted teardrop-shaped cross-section could provide the greatest IFSZ (excluding the flat-rim liner). The optimal orientation of the elevated-rim liner was the posterior-inferior side (RI ≤ 37°), posterior-superior side (RI ≥ 45°), and posterior side (37° ≤ RI ≤ 45°). Our novel algorithm provides a solution to analyze the IFROM of any hip prosthesis with any complex shape. The shape and size of the cross-section of the stem neck, the orientation of the elevated rim, and the shape and opening angle of the liner are all critical factors for the quantitative calculation of the IFROM and mounting safe zone of the prosthesis. Stem necks with inverted teardrop cross-section and beveled-rim liner improved the IFSZ. The optimal direction of the elevated rim is not constant but varies with RI and RA.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study was to identify the optimal lip position for total hip arthroplasties (THAs) using a lipped liner. There is a lack of consensus on the optimal position, with substantial variability in surgeon practice. Methods A model of a THA was developed using a 20° lipped liner. Kinematic analyses included a physiological range of motion (ROM) analysis and a provocative dislocation manoeuvre analysis. ROM prior to impingement was calculated and, in impingement scenarios, the travel distance prior to dislocation was assessed. The combinations analyzed included nine cup positions (inclination 30-40-50°, anteversion 5-15-25°), three stem positions (anteversion 0-15-30°), and five lip orientations (right hip 7 to 11 o'clock). Results The position of the lip changes the ROM prior to impingement, with certain combinations leading to impingement within the physiological ROM. Inferior lip positions (7 to 8 o'clock) performed best with cup inclinations of 30° and 40°. Superior lip positions performed best with cup inclination of 50°. When impingement occurs in the plane of the lip, the lip increases the travel distance prior to dislocation. Inferior lip positions led to the largest increase in jump distance in a posterior dislocation provocation manoeuvre. Conclusion The lip orientation that provides optimal physiological ROM depends on the orientation of the cup and stem. For a THA with stem anteversion 15°, cup inclination 40°, and cup anteversion 15°, the optimal lip position was posterior-inferior (8 o'clock). Maximizing jump distance prior to dislocation while preventing impingement in the opposite direction is possible with appropriate lip positioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Instability has been the primary cause of failure following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) leading to revision hip surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine if instability rates have further declined following advances in primary THA including dual mobility articulations, direct anterior approaches, advanced technologies, and improved knowledge of the hip-spine relationships. METHODS Using the 5% Medicare Part B claims data from 1999 to 2019, we identified 81,573 patients who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis. Patients who experienced instability at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years were identified. Multivariate cox regression analyses evaluated the effect of patient and procedure characteristics on the risk for instability. RESULTS Instability at 1 year following primary THA declined from approximately 4% in 2000 to 2.3% in 2010 and 1.6% in 2018. The leading cause of revision surgery was infection (18.6%), followed by peri-prosthetic fracture (14%), mechanical loosening (11.5%), and instability (9.4%). High risk groups for instability continue to include increased age, higher Charlson index, obesity, lumbar spine pathology, and neurocognitive disorders. CONCLUSION Instability is no longer the leading etiology of failure following primary THA with a decline of approximately 40% over the past decade. Infection, periprosthetic fracture, mechanical loosening, and then instability are now the leading causes of failure. Multiple factors may play a role in the decline of instability including increased use of dual mobility articulations, direct anterior approaches, improved knowledge of the hip-spine relationships, and use of advanced technologies.

Abstract
Background Lipped or elevated acetabular liners are to improve posterior stability and are widely used in hip arthroplasty. However, concerns of increasing impingement exist when using such liners and optimal orientation of the elevated rim remains unknown. We aimed to identify the impact of lipped liner on the range of motion (ROM) before impingement and propose its optimal orientation. Methods An isochoric three-dimensional model of a general hip-replacement prosthesis was generated, and flex-extension, add-abduction and axial rotation were simulated on a computer. The maximum ROM of the hip was measured before the neck impinged on the liner. Different combinations of acetabular anteversion angles ranging from 5 to 30 degrees, and lipped liner orientations from posterior to anterior were tested. Results When acetabular anteversion was 10 or 15 degrees, placing the lip of the liner in the posterosuperior of the acetabulum allowed satisfactory ROM in all directions. When acetabular anteversion was 20 degrees, extension and external rotation were restricted. Adjusting the lip to the superior restored satisfactory ROM. When acetabular anteversion was 25 degrees, only placing the lip into the anterosuperior could increase extension and external rotation to maintain satisfactory ROM. Conclusions This study showed that optimal lipped liner orientation should depend on acetabular anteversion. When acetabular anteversion was smaller than 20 degrees, placing lip in the posterior allowed an optimally ROM. When acetabular anteversion was greater than 20 degrees, adjusting lip to the anterior allowed a comprehensive larger ROM to avoid early impingement.

Abstract
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful surgical interventions. The survivorship at 10 years for the most commonly used systems is over 95%. However, the incidence of revision is usually much higher in the 0-1 year time period following the intervention. The most common reason for revision in this early time period is dislocation and subluxation, which may be defined as complete or permanent, and partial or temporary loss of contact between the bearing surfaces respectively. This study comprises the development of a geometric model of bone and an in situ total hip replacement, to predict the occurrence and location of bone and component impingement for a wide range of acetabular cup positions and for a series of frequently practiced activities of daily living. The model developed predicts that anterior-superior component impingement is associated with activities that result in posterior dislocation. The incidence may be reduced by increased cup anteversion and inclination. Posterior-inferior component impingement is associated with anterior dislocation activities. Its incidence may be reduced by decreased cup anteversion and inclination. A component impingement-free range was identified, running from when the cup was positioned with 45° inclination and 25° anteversion to 70° inclination and 15°-20° anteversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Introduction of new implants should be monitored closely to capture any signs of compromising patient safety. Vitamin E infused highly-crosslinked polyethylene liners (VEPE) offer the potential for reduced wear. Highwall liners have been hypothesised to result in increased wear and potential liner fractures. The aim of this study was to determine the 3-7-year follow-up of highwall VEPE for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), focusing on liner-related complications. METHODS We included 1221 consecutive THA operations from July 2010 to May 2014 with minimum follow-up of 3 (3.1-6.8) years Data collected included demographics, implant data, complications, reoperations, and deaths. Data were cross-referenced with the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry in order to ensure validity and completeness. Acetabular shell position was measured using Martell Hip Analysis Suite in a subgroup of 931 THAs. RESULTS Cumulative stem revision and shell revision at 3-year follow-up was 3.4% and 0.4% respectively. There were no revisions due to liner failure. Reason for revision included 11 dislocations, 15 soft-tissue revisions for infection, 44 stem revisions of which 34 were periprosthetic fractures and 13 shell revisions of which 6 were combined shell and stem revisions. CONCLUSION Early follow-up of VEPE liners for primary THA have not shown any revisions associated with liner failure. Continued monitoring of new materials are necessary to capture any signs of compromised patient safety.

Abstract
» Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a reproducible and efficacious procedure for patients with end-stage osteoarthritis; however, dislocation remains the most common cause of revision arthroplasty. » Technological advancements in acetabular component design and liner options, in conjunction with a more comprehensive understanding of the spinopelvic factors that influence dislocation, will likely reduce the risk of dislocation and revision over time. » The contemporary liner and shell options for primary THA, in order of increasing constraint and stability, include (1) neutral, (2) lateralized, (3) face-changing (oblique), (4) lipped (high-wall) with or without lateralization, (5) modular and anatomic dual-mobility, and (6) constrained options. » Different liner designs can alter functional anteversion, inclination, and jump distance, and can be used to minimize a single predictable dislocation vector (lipped [high-wall] liners) or multiple vectors of instability risk when the dislocation direction is unpredictable (dual-mobility liners). » Liner selection should be based on the patient-specific risk of dislocation, including static anatomic (e.g., large anterior inferior iliac spine or greater trochanter morphology), dynamic anatomic (e.g., limited sitting-standing change in the sacral slope), and demographic or medical (e.g., neurocognitive disorders and obesity) risk factors.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to determine if uncemented acetabular polyethylene (PE) liner geometry, and lip size, influenced the risk of revision for instability or loosening. METHODS A total of 202,511 primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) with uncemented acetabular components were identified from the National Joint Registry (NJR) dataset between 2003 and 2017. The effect of liner geometry on the risk of revision for instability or loosening was investigated using competing risk regression analyses adjusting for age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, indication, side, institution type, surgeon grade, surgical approach, head size, and polyethylene crosslinking. Stratified analyses by surgical approach were performed, including pairwise comparisons of liner geometries. RESULTS The distribution of liner geometries were neutral (39.4%; 79,822), 10° (34.5%; 69,894), 15° (21.6%; 43,722), offset reorientating (2.8%; 5705), offset neutral (0.9%; 1,767), and 20° (0.8%; 1,601). There were 690 (0.34%) revisions for instability. Compared to neutral liners, the adjusted subhazard ratios of revision for instability were: 10°, 0.64 (p < 0.001); 15°, 0.48 (p < 0.001); and offset reorientating, 1.6 (p = 0.010). No association was found with other geometries. 10° and 15° liners had a time-dependent lower risk of revision for instability within the first 1.2 years. In posterior approaches, 10° and 15° liners had a lower risk of revision for instability, with no significant difference between them. The protective effect of lipped over neutral liners was not observed in laterally approached THAs. There were 604 (0.3%) revisions for loosening, but no association between liner geometry and revision for loosening was found. CONCLUSION This registry-based study confirms a lower risk of revision for instability in posterior approach THAs with 10° or 15° lipped liners compared to neutral liners, but no significant difference between these lip sizes. A higher revision risk is seen with offset reorientating liners. The benefit of lipped geometries against revision for instability was not seen in laterally approached THAs. Liner geometry does not seem to influence the risk of revision for loosening. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(12):1774-1782.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of asymmetric crosslinked polyethylene liner use on the risk of revision of cementless and hybrid total hip arthroplasties (THAs). METHODS We undertook a registry study combining the National Joint Registry dataset with polyethylene manufacturing characteristics as supplied by the manufacturers. The primary endpoint was revision for any reason. We performed further analyses on other reasons including instability, aseptic loosening, wear, and liner dissociation. The primary analytic approach was Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS A total of 213,146 THAs were included in the analysis. Overall, 2,997 revisions were recorded, 1,569 in THAs with a flat liner and 1,428 in THAs using an asymmetric liner. Flat liner THAs had a higher risk of revision for any reason than asymmetric liner THAs when implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach (hazard ratio (HR) 1.169, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.022 to 1.337) and through a posterior approach (HR 1.122, 95% CI 1.108 to 1.346). There was no increased risk of revision for aseptic loosening when asymmetric liners were used for any surgical approach. A separate analysis of the three most frequently used crosslinked polyethylene liners was in agreement with this finding. When analyzing THAs with flat liners only, THAs implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach were associated with a reduced risk of revision for instability compared to posterior approach THAs (HR 0.561 (95% CI 0.446 to 0.706)). When analyzing THAs with an asymmetric liner, there was no significant difference in the risk of revision for instability between the two approaches (HR 0.838 (95% CI 0.633 to 1.110)). CONCLUSION For THAs implanted through the posterior approach, the use of asymmetric liners reduces the risk of revision for instability and revision for any reason. In THAs implanted through a Hardinge/anterolateral approach, the use of an asymmetric liner was associated with a reduced risk of revision. The effect on revision for instability was less pronounced than in the posterior approach. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(9):1479-1487.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for dislocation in patients diagnosed with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent total hip arthroplasty. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients who developed dislocation and compared them with 400 patients in the control group without hip instability. Patients-, surgery-, and implant-related factors were investigated. Risk factors were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 32.3 months. The mean time to dislocation was 4.4 months. There were 7 men (17.5%) and 33 women (82.5%) in the dislocation group and 83 men (20.7%) and 317 women (79.3%) in the control group (P = .627). Diabetes mellitus (DM; P = .032) and history of previous hip surgery for DDH were associated with dislocation (P < .001). The subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (P = .001), acetabular inclination (P = .037), acetabular anteversion (P < .001), femoral head size (P < .001), and postoperative infection (P = .003) were associated with dislocation. Major predictors of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty in patients with DDH were previous hip surgery (odds ratio [OR], 6.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.86-24.6; P = .004), high hip center (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.31-6.38; P = .008), DM (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.06-6.80; P = .037), and acetabular inclination (OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.09-6.26; P = .03). CONCLUSION Patients with DM and previous hip surgery should be informed about increased dislocation rates. Using a larger head diameter and restoration of the true hip rotation center are essential to prevent hip dislocation in these patients. Furthermore, accurate positioning of the acetabular inclination and anteversion are also important.

In vivo kinematics, component alignment and hardware variables influence on the liner-to-neck clearance during chair-rising after total hip arthroplasty. J Orthop Sci 2020; 25:452-459. [PMID: 31178276 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2019.05.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2019] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 05/14/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an interest in quantifying dynamic hip kinematics before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA) during chair-rising: one of daily life activities. METHODS The study consisted of 21 patients who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty for symptomatic osteoarthritis. We obtained continuous radiographs using a flat-panel X-ray detector while the participants rose from chair. We assessed the pre and postoperative hip joint's movements using three-dimensional-to-two-dimensional model-to-image registration techniques. We also measured minimum liner-to-neck distances at maximum hip flexion and extension as anterior and posterior liner-to-neck distances, respectively. Multivariate analyses were applied to determine which factors were associated with liner-to-neck distances. RESULTS The cup inclination, cup anteversion, and stem anteversion averaged 37.4°, 23.1°, and 30.1°, respectively. Significantly larger maximum hip flexion angle (72°) was found during chair-rising after THA compared to that before THA (63°, P < 0.01). The anterior pelvic tilt at the maximum hip flexion after THA (3° of anterior tilt) was significantly (P < 0.05) anterior compared to that before THA (1° of posterior tilt). The anterior and posterior liner-to-neck distances averaged 12.3 mm and 8.1 mm, respectively, with a significant difference (P < 0.01). No liner-to-neck contact was found in any hips. In multivariate analysis, the hip flexion angle, cup inclination, stem anteversion and head diameter were significantly associated with the anterior liner-to-neck distance (P < 0.05), the hip extension angle, cup anteversion, neck length and with or without elevated rim were significantly associated with the posterior liner-to-neck distance (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.05, 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION This study indicates that well-positioned THA provide increased range of hip flexion with sufficient anterior liner-to-neck clearance during chair-rising. Dynamic hip kinematics, component position, and hardware variables significantly influenced on the liner-to-neck clearance under weight-bearing conditions.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1290-1296. [PMID: 31983565 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2019] [Revised: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of the present study are to (1) conduct the longest-to-date follow-up wear analysis of the highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liners, (2) assess the incidence of femoral and acetabular osteolysis, and (3) compare the surgical outcomes between standard and elevated-rim acetabular liners in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated 112 primary THAs performed by a single experienced arthroplasty surgeon at our institution between March 2000 and December 2003. Patients were classified based on the type of acetabular liner used: standard or elevated-rim liner. For evaluation of surgical outcomes, the following data were collected: acetabular cup position (anteversion and inclination), wear rate (linear and volumetric), presence of osteolysis, history of reoperation (all-cause and wear-related), complications (deep joint infection, dislocation, and periprosthetic fracture), and Harris hip score at last follow-up. RESULTS Linear and volumetric wear rates were 0.028 mm/y (0.000-0.145 mm/y) and 11.641 mm3/y (0.000-70.000 mm3/y) in the standard group and 0.026 mm/y (0.000-0.094mm/y) and 9.706 mm3/y (0.000-33.000 mm3/y) in the elevated-rim group, respectively. These rates were not significantly different between groups. One case of osteolysis was confirmed in the standard group, whereas no osteolysis was observed in the elevated-rim group. CONCLUSION We suggest that elevated-rim highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liners might be a good implant option that can be used safely.

Abstract
Background Prior studies have compared the posterior capsule repair group in primary total hip arthroplasty by posterior approach with the control group without posterior capsule repair suggesting that the posterior capsule repair group had better clinical outcomes. However, it is still a controversy which treatment is more helpful for hip diseases. The purpose of our article is to obtain the postoperative outcomes between the 2 procedures. Methods We performed a systematic search by browsing the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library. There is no restriction on the date of publication. Before we submit our manuscript, we have re-searched the literatures again, including the articles which directly compared the postoperative outcomes of the 2 procedures. Results A total of 8 comparative studies were included in our meta-analysis. The posterior capsule repair group showed less dislocation rate, higher HHS, and even less postoperative bleeding volume. Meanwhile, there is no significant difference in ROM between 2 groups. Conclusion In conclusion, according to current evidences, repairing posterior capsule during primary THA may have better functional outcomes, less dislocation incidence, and less loss of blood.

An Observational Cohort Study. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2020; 478:581-589. [PMID: 31714411 PMCID: PMC7145090 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000001039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent dislocation after THA remains a serious complication that carries with it a high risk of revision surgery. Previous studies have shown reduced dislocation rates with the use of lipped polyethylene (PE) liners in modular uncemented acetabular components, but there may be increased wear because of impingement, which may lead to aseptic loosening in the longer term; whether the aggregate benefit of lipped PE liners outweighs the risks associated with their use remains controversial. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We used data from the New Zealand Joint Registry to (1) compare Kaplan-Meier survival rates, (2) rates of revisions for dislocation between neutral and lipped PE liners, and (3) revision rates for aseptic loosening for the four most commonly used modular uncemented cups. METHODS We used data from the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) to identify 31,247 primary THAs using the four most commonly used uncemented modular acetabular implants from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2018. The lipped liner group comprised 49% males (9924 of 20,240) compared with 42% (4669 of 11,007) in the neutral group (p < 0.001); 96% (19,382 of 20,240) of patients in the liner group had OA versus 95% (10,450 of 11,007) in the neutral group (p < 0.001). There was no difference in other patient characteristics such as age (mean 66.9 years), BMI (mean 29 ± 6 kg/m) and American Society of Anesthesiologists grade. The mean follow-up was 5.1 years (SD 3.9) and longest follow-up 19.3 years. The NZJR has more than 96% capture rate and data entry is a mandatory requirement of members of the New Zealand Orthopaedic Association. Kaplan-Meier survival rates were compared between 20,240 lipped and 11,007 neutral PE liners. Highly cross-linked polyethylene was used in 99% of lipped liner cups and 85% of neutral liner cups. Associated hazard ratios were calculated using a Cox regression analysis with a Kaplan-Meier revision-free estimates plot. RESULTS The Kaplan-Meier survival at 10 years for lipped PE liners was 96% (95% confidence interval 95.4 to 96.2) and for neutral liners 95% (95% CI 94.7 to 95.9). After controlling for age, gender approach, femoral head size, and the use of image guidance, the all-cause revision risk was greater for neutral PE liners than that for lipped PE liners (HR 1.17 [95% CI 1.06 to 1.36]; p = 0.032). There was a higher risk of revision for dislocation in those with neutral PE liners than in those with lipped liners (HR 1.84 [95% CI 1.41 to 2.41]; p < 0.001) but no difference in the revision rate for aseptic acetabular component loosening (HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.52 to 1.38]; p = 0.511). CONCLUSIONS The use of a lipped PE liner is not associated with a higher rate of aseptic loosening in patients who undergo primary THA compared with a neutral PE liner. Lipped PE liners are associated with lower rates of dislocation and lower all-cause revision rates without any increased association with revision rates for wear and aseptic loosening.

Abstract
In existing radiographic studies on primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) examining the spino-pelvic effect on THA instability, there is no control of the type of polyethylene liner used, which may be a significant confounder of the results. We sought to determine the prevalence of the use of elevated liners in primary THA using regional implant company sales data. A total of 12,528 liners were analyzed, demonstrating that the overall regional percentage use of lipped liner use is high and varies inversely with larger head sizes. This prevalence data suggests that it is important to consider the use of lipped liners as a confounding variable that should not be overlooked in radiographic studies analyzing cup position and THA instability.

Abstract
Background and purpose - The use of trabecular metal (TM) cups for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing. Some recent data suggest that the use of TM in primary THA might be associated with an increased risk of revision. We compared implant survival of Continuum acetabular cups with other commonly used uncemented cups. Patients and methods - Data on 11,390 primary THAs with the Continuum cup and 30,372 THAs with other uncemented cups (reference group) were collected from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were calculated; the endpoint was revision for any reason, for infection, or for dislocation. Revision risks were assessed with adjusted Cox multiple regression models. A subgroup analysis on the use of neutral or elevated liners in the Continuum group was made. Results - The 7-year survivorship of the Continuum group was 94.6% (95% CI 94.0-95.2) versus 95.6% (CI 95.3-95.8) in the reference group for revision for any reason. The risk for revision was higher in the Continuum group than in the reference group both for revision for any reason (HR 1.3 [CI 1.2-1.5)]) and for revision for dislocation (HR 1.9 [CI 1.5-2.3]). There was no difference in the rates of revision because of infection (HR 0.99 [CI 0.78-1.3]). Use of a neutral liner increased the risk for revision due to dislocation in comparison with the use of an elevated rim liner in the Continuum group (HR 1.7 [CI 1.2-2.5]). Interpretation - THA with Continuum cups is associated with an increased risk of revision compared with other uncemented cups, mainly due to revisions because of dislocation. Our results support the use of an elevated liner when Continuum cups are used for primary THA.

Are Hooded, Crosslinked Polyethylene Liners Associated with a Reduced Risk of Revision After THA? Clin Orthop Relat Res 2019; 477:1315-1321.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hooded acetabular liners and head sizes ≥ 32 mm have both shown to have a beneficial effect on the revision rate for dislocation in THA. Experience with noncrosslinked polyethylene (nonXLPE) raised concerns regarding the risk of impingement damage, loosening, and osteolysis with hooded liners; however, the evidence for this in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) is inconclusive. The interaction between different femoral head sizes and hooded liners is not well understood, and it is unclear whether hooded XLPE liners have a beneficial effect on overall long-term survivorship. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We analyzed a large national joint registry to ask: (1) Is the use of hooded XLPE liners associated with a reduced revision rate for dislocation compared with nonhooded liners? (2) Is there a difference in the revision rate for aseptic loosening/osteolysis? (3) Is head size associated with any difference in the revision rate between hooded and nonhooded liners? METHODS The Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry longitudinally maintains data on all primary and revision joint arthroplasties with nearly 100% capture. We analyzed all conventional primary THAs performed from registry inception in September 1999 until December 31, 2016 in patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis who had nonhooded or hooded XLPE bearings in a cementless acetabular shell. The study group included 192,659 THA procedures with XLPE liners, of which 67,904 were nonhooded and 124,755 were hooded. The mean age of patients receiving nonhooded liners was 70 years (range, 11-100 years); 44% were males. This was similar to the patients with hooded liners, who had a mean age of 70 years (range, 16-100 years); 45% were males. The main outcome measure was the cumulative percent revision at 15 years of the THA using Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship. We examined reasons for revision and and performed multivariable analysis to control for the confounding factors of three head size groups (< 32mm, 32mm, and > 32mm) and for the method of femoral fixation. RESULTS There was a higher revision rate for dislocation for patients with nonhooded liners at all times to 15 years (HR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17-1.47; p < 0.001). There was a higher revision rate for the diagnosis of aseptic loosening/osteolysis with patients with nonhooded liners compared with hooded liners (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.05-1.34; p = 0.006). Head sizes of 32 mm or larger were independently associated with a lower comparative revision rate between hooded and nonhooded liners, but this was not apparent for head sizes smaller than 32 mm. It appeared that the main driver of the finding in larger heads was a reduced dislocation risk with hooded liners for 32 mm heads (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.23-1.80; p < 0.001) and for heads larger than 32 mm (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.20-1.89; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Prior research has suggested that hooded acetabular liners may be associated with impingement, loosening, and osteolysis; however, in this large, registry-based report we found that XLPE hooded liners are not associated with an increased revision rate for aseptic loosening/osteolysis. Although there are many potential confounding variables in this registry analysis, if anything, surgeons using larger femoral heads and hooded liners likely did so in patients with a higher perceived dislocation risk. Patients with larger heads and XLPE hooded liners were, however, less likely to experience revision for dislocation. These liners therefore appear reasonable to use in primary THA at the surgeon's discretion. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Aims Increasingly, patients with bilateral hip arthritis wish to undergo staged total hip arthroplasty (THA). With the rise in demand for arthroplasty, perioperative risk assessment and counselling is crucial for shared decision making. However, it is unknown if complications that occur after a unilateral hip arthroplasty predict complications following surgery of the contralateral hip. Patients and Methods We used nationwide linked discharge data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project between 2005 and 2014 to analyze the incidence and recurrence of complications following the first- and second-stage operations in staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (BTHAs). Complications included perioperative medical adverse events within 30 to 60 days, and infection and mechanical complications within one year. Conditional probabilities and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to determine whether experiencing a complication after the first stage of surgery increased the risk of developing the same complication after the second stage. Results A total of 13 829 patients (5790 men and 8039 women) who underwent staged BTHAs were analyzed. The mean age at first operation was 62.9 years (14 to 95). For eight of the 12 outcomes evaluated, patients who experienced the outcome following the first arthroplasty had a significantly increased probability and odds of developing that same complication following the second arthroplasty, compared with those who did not experience the complication after the first surgery. This was true for digestive complications (OR 25.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 13.86 to 46.08; p < 0.001), urinary complications (OR 6.48, 95% CI 1.7 to 20.73; p = 0.01), haematoma (OR 12.17, 95% CI 4.55 to 31.14; p < 0.001), deep vein thrombosis (OR 4.82, 95% CI 2.34 to 9.65; p < 0.001), pulmonary embolism (OR 12.03, 95% CI 2.02 to 46.77; p = 0.01), deep hip infection (OR 534.21, 95% CI 314.96 to 909.25; p < 0.001), superficial hip infection (OR 1574.99, 95% CI 269.83 to 9291.81; p < 0.001), and mechanical malfunction (OR 117.49, 95% CI 91.55 to 150.34; p < 0.001). Conclusion The occurrence of certain complications after unilateral THA is associated with an increased risk of the same complication occurring after staged arthroplasty of the contralateral hip. Patients who experience these complications after unilateral hip arthroplasty should be appropriately counselled regarding their risk profile prior to undergoing staged contralateral hip arthroplasty.

[PMID: 30453985 PMCID: PMC6245846 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-018-1000-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 11/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lipped or elevated acetabular liners are frequently used in total hip arthroplasty to improve stability. However, the optimal position of the lip is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal position of lipped acetabular liners in total hip arthroplasty performed with a posterior approach. METHODS In 14 hips, lipped trial liners were placed intraoperatively in various positions around the posterior clock-face of the implanted acetabular shell component. For each liner position, stability of the hip was tested at maximal hip flexion with gradually increasing internal rotation until subluxation occurred, at which point the position of the hip was measured using smartphone accelerometer-based goniometers. Smartphone goniometers were first validated against a computer-assisted navigation system. Post-operative radiographs were analyzed for cup inclination angle, cup anteversion angle, and femoral offset. RESULTS Mean cup inclination angle in our series was 31° ± 6°. The most common liner position that imparted the greatest stability to posterior subluxation was posteriorly and inferiorly (4 o'clock position for left hip, or 8 o'clock position for right hip). The range for most stable liner position for different patients varied from postero-superior (11 o'clock/1 o'clock position) to directly inferior (6 o'clock position). Comparing a non-lipped liner to a lipped liner placed in the optimal position, the average difference in internal rotation gained before dislocation was 23°. There was no association between cup inclination or anteversion angle with liner position of greatest stability. CONCLUSION In hip replacements performed through a posterior approach and with mean cup inclination angle of 31° ± 6°, placing the lip of the elevated liner in the postero-inferior quadrant may impart more stability than in the postero-superior quadrant.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2018; 19:373. [PMID: 30322394 PMCID: PMC6190554 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-018-2289-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2018] [Accepted: 10/01/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation continues to be a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). A larger intraoperative range of motion (ROM) is believed to minimize dislocation risk, and intraoperative stability tests have been used to assess the ROM. However, it is not clear whether or not intraoperative stability tests can predict hip stability after THA. It is also unclear which angles are required in intraoperative stability tests. We investigated the usefulness of intraoperative stability tests, and other risk factors to predict hip stability after THA. METHODS Patients operated by single surgeon at one hospital from June 2009 to December 2013 were evaluated. This study included 185 hips with 32 mm metal femoral head. The range of internal rotation with 90° hip flexion (IR angle) was measured as an intraoperative stability test. The variables studied as risk factors included age, height, weight, gender, cerebral dysfunction, preoperative diagnosis, history of previous hip surgery, and IR angle. RESULTS Mean IR angle was statistically different between patients with dislocation and patients without dislocation (59.5° vs 69.6°: p = 0.006). Cerebral dysfunction and a history of previous hip surgery were statistically related with prevalence of dislocation (p = 0.021, and p = 0.011). The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis suggested that the cutoff points for IR angle were 51° and 67°. Dislocation rate in larger IR angle group was significantly lower than the rate in smaller IR angle group when patients were divided by 51° (p = 0.002). Logistic regression analyses showed that significant risk factors were cerebral dysfunction (OR: 5.3 (95%CI 1.1-25.9); p = 0.037), history of previous hip surgery (OR: 8.6 (95%CI 1.2-63.0); p = 0.035), and IR angle (OR: 10.4 (95%CI 1.9-57.1); p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS The results showed that intraoperative stability test, especially the IR angle, was a useful method to predict hip stability after THA, and a larger intraoperative ROM reduced the likelihood of dislocation. 51° and 67° were indicated as cutoff points for IR angle. Cerebral dysfunction and a history of previous hip surgery are also risk factors for the incidence of dislocation after THA. TRIAL REGISTRATION This is a retrospective study, not a clinical trial defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevention of dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) begins with patient preoperative assessment and planning. METHODS We performed a literature search to assess historical perspectives and current strategies to prevent dislocation after primary THA. The search yielded 3458 articles, and 154 articles are presented. RESULTS Extremes of age, body mass index >30 kg/m2, lumbosacral pathology, surgeon experience, and femoral head size influence dislocation rates after THA. There is mixed evidence regarding the effect of neuromuscular disease, sequelae of pediatric hip conditions, and surgical approach on THA instability. Sex, simultaneous bilateral THA, and restrictive postoperative precautions do not influence the dislocation rates of THA. Navigation, robotics, lipped liners, and dual-mobility acetabular components may improve dislocation rates. CONCLUSIONS Risks for dislocation should be identified, and measures should be taken to mitigate the risk. Reliance on safe zones of acetabular component positioning is historical. We are in an era of bespoke THA surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic dislocation of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common cause for revision surgery. Dual-mobility (DM) bearings were introduced to mitigate complications; however, their performance in younger patients is unknown. This study compared results of patients <55 years of age with DM vs fixed-bearing (FB) primary THA. METHODS Our total joint registry was used to evaluate primary THA patients <55 years of age, and then, an age-matched comparative analysis was performed for 136 THAs using third-generation highly cross-linked polyethylene DM bearings and 136 THAs using FB from the same manufacturer with mean follow-up of 3.2 and 3.4 years, respectively. Mean age at surgery was 48.4 and 48.5 years, respectively. There was no difference in gender distribution. Incidence of complications (eg, dislocation) was evaluated and compared statistically. Patient-reported outcomes using the Modified Harris Hip Score were available. Normally distributed continuous data were compared using the Student t test, and discrete data were compared using the Fisher exact test (P < .05). RESULTS There were no dislocations or intraprosthetic dissociations (0%) in the DM group and 7 (5.1%) dislocations in the FB group (P = .01) at the mean follow-up of 3 years postoperatively. Two of the 7 unstable patients in the FB cohort were revised for recurrent instability (1.5%). There was no difference in postoperative Modified Harris Hip Score between the DM (87.2 ± 16.6) and the control cohorts (87.9 ± 13.7; P = .78). CONCLUSION DM bearings in patients <55 years of age show excellent results for prosthetic stability when compared with patients who undergo FB.

Abstract
Background The relevance of prosthetic component orientation to prevent dislocation and impingement following total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been widely accepted. We investigated the use of a non-computer-based surgery to address the reciprocal orientation of the acetabular and femoral components. Methods In the femur first technique, the cup is positioned relative to the stem. When the definitive antetorsion of femoral component is fixed, the cup is positioned in a compliant anteversion to the stem. Clinical and radiographic assessments were performed before and 3 months after THA. Radiographic assessment was performed in standing position with the EOS 2D/3D radiography system. 3D images were used to preoperative anterior pelvic plane (APP) angle, postoperative acetabular inclination (AI) and anteversion (AA), and postoperative stem antetorsion. Clinical assessment was performed with Harris Hip Score (HHS). Results Forty patients (40 hips) underwent primary THA with an average age of 61 years (range, 36–84). Average HHS increased from 43 ± 5 (range, 37–52) preoperatively to 97 ± 6 (range, 86–100) at the last follow-up (P < 0.0001). Average combined anteversion value of cup with liner and stem was 38° ± 9° (range, 12°-55°). Average AI value of cup with liner was 39° ± 6° (range, 30°-55°) in the group with standard stem and 45° ± 7° (range, 39°-58°) in the group with varized stem (P = 0.007). Relationship analysis showed no correlation between the combined anteversion values of the cup with liner and stem with APP angle values (r = 0.26, P = 0.87). Conclusions Femur first technique allows the surgeon to achieve a combined anteversion ranging from 25° to 50° with a cup inclination ranging from 30° to 50°. The cup is positioned according to the functional plane of the patient regardless the preoperative pelvic tilt.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate intraoperatively the effects of femoral offset and head size on stability of the hip joints in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via posterior approach. METHODS Thirty cementless THAs were included in this study. After acetabular shell and femoral broach fixation, trial reduction was repeated using a femoral neck (5- to 8-mm higher or standard offset) and a head (26 mm or 32 mm). To evaluate joint stability, range of internal rotation (IR) in hip flexion prior to posterior subluxation and range of external rotation (ER) in hip extension were measured. RESULTS The high-offset neck provided significantly (approximately 10°) greater range of IR to subluxation than the standard-offset neck. No hips ended in anterior subluxation by ER. The head size did not have significant effects on the stability. CONCLUSION Results suggest that the 5- to 8-mm greater femoral offset might be effective in preventing instability in primary THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most surgeons allow their patients to play golf after total hip arthroplasty (THA), the effect on the implant during the golf swing is still unclear. PURPOSE To evaluate hip kinematics during the golf swing after THA. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Eleven hips in 9 patients who underwent primary THA were analyzed. All patients were right-handed recreational golfers, and these 11 hips included 6 right hips and 5 left hips. Periodic radiographic images of the golf swing were taken using a flat-panel x-ray detector. Movements of the hip joint and components were assessed using 3-dimensional-to-2-dimensional model-to-image registration techniques. Liner-to-neck contact and translation of the femoral head with respect to the acetabular cup (cup-head translation) were examined. Hip kinematics, orientation of components, and maximum cup-head translation were compared between patients with and without liner-to-neck contact. RESULTS On average, the golf swing produced approximately 50° of axial rotation in both lead and trail hips. Liner-to-neck contact was observed in 4 hips with elevated rim liners (2 lead hips and 2 trail hips) at maximum external rotation. Neither bone-to-bone nor bone-to-implant contact was observed at any phases of the golf swing in any of the hips. Four hips with liner-to-neck contact had significantly larger maximum external rotation (37.9° ± 7.0° vs 20.6° ± 9.9°, respectively; P = .01) and more cup anteversion (26.5° ± 6.1° vs 10.8° ± 8.9°, respectively; P = .01) than hips without liner-to-neck contact. No significant differences between hips with and without contact were found for cup inclination (42.0° ± 2.5° vs 38.1° ± 5.5°, respectively; P = .22), combined anteversion (45.3° ± 8.9° vs 51.4° ± 7.9°, respectively; P = .26), or maximum cup-head translation (1.3 ± 0.3 mm vs 1.5 ± 0.4 mm, respectively; P = .61). CONCLUSION In this analysis, the golf swing did not produce excessive hip rotation or cup-head translation in any hips. However, liner-to-neck contact during the golf swing was observed in 36% of the hips, with unknown effects on the long-term results. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Golf is an admissible sport after THA because dynamic hip stability was observed. However, the implant position, especially cup anteversion and the use of elevated rim liners, promoted liner-to-neck contact.

Abstract
Despite a lack of long-term follow-up, there is an increasing trend towards using femoral heads of large diameter in total hip replacement (THR), partly because of the perceived advantage of lower rates of dislocation. However, increasing the size of the femoral head is not the only way to reduce the rate of dislocation; optimal alignment of the components and repair of the posterior capsule could achieve a similar effect. In this prospective study of 512 cemented unilateral THRs (Male:Female 230:282) performed between 2004 and 2011, we aimed to determine the rate of dislocation in patients who received a 22 mm head on a 9/10 Morse taper through a posterior approach with capsular repair and using the transverse acetabular ligament (TAL) as a guide for the alignment of the acetabular component. The mean age of the patients at operation was 67 years (35 to 89). The mean follow-up was 2.8 years (0.5 to 6.6). Pre- and post-operative assessment included Oxford hip, Short Form-12 and modified University of California Los Angeles and Merle D'Aubigne scores. The angles of inclination and anteversion of the acetabular components were measured using radiological software. There were four dislocations (0.78%), all of which were anterior. In conclusion, THR with a 22 mm diameter head performed through a posterior approach with capsular repair and using the TAL as a guide for the alignment of the acetabular component was associated with a low rate of dislocation.

Abstract
We compared the rate of revision for instability after total hip replacement (THR) when lipped and non-lipped acetabular liners were used. We hypothesised that the use of a lipped liner in a modular uncemented acetabular component reduces the risk of revision for instability after primary THR. Using data from the New Zealand Joint Registry, we found that the use of a lipped liner was associated with a significantly decreased rate of revision for instability and for all other indications. Adjusting for the size of the femoral head, the surgical approach and the age and gender of the patient, this difference remained strongly significant (p < 0.001). We conclude that evidence from the New Zealand registry suggests that the use of lipped liners with modular uncemented acetabular components is associated with a decreased rate of revision for instability after primary THR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has a multifactorial etiology with variables such as surgical approach, component orientation and position, type of cup, stem and head size. Review of the literature regarding the relationship of head size and dislocation rate in THA is suggestive that large femoral head size is associated with lower dislocation rate after THA. However, limited data is available as a proof of this hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to determine that the use of large head size would lead to a decreased incidence of dislocations following THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS 317 primary THAs were performed using the posterolateral approach with posterior soft-tissue repair between January 2006 and December 2009. Cases were divided into two groups (A and B). Femoral head diameter size 36 mm was used in 163 THA in group A and 28 mm in 154 THA in group B. Average period of followup being 2 years (6 month to 4 years). Patients were routinely followed at definite intervals and were specifically assessed for dislocation. RESULTS One or more dislocations occurred in 11 out of 317 hips with the overall rate of dislocation being 3.47%. Dislocation rate was 0.6% in 36 mm head size and 6.49% with 28 mm head size (P value is 0.0107). Keeping the stem design variable as a constant, the difference in the rate of dislocation between the two groups was again found to be statistically significant for both un-cemented and cemented stem. CONCLUSION Dislocation rate decreased significantly as the size of the head increased in primary THA. However, longer followup is necessary as rate of dislocation or in vivo highly cross linked poly failure or fracture may increase in future affecting the rate of dislocations in primary THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dissociation of the polyethylene liner from the acetabular shell is an uncommon event. Offset, face-changing polyethylene liners theoretically increase femoral head coverage, allow for larger heads with smaller cup diameters, and offer improved stability without risk of impingement. However, we present four cases of liner dissociations from the acetabular shell that necessitated revision hip surgery. METHODS Four patients with spontaneous dissociations of offset, face-changing polyethylene acetabular liners underwent revision hip arthroplasty between January 2007 and June 2010. All patients were women with an average age of fifty-three years. All cases involved the combination of a Pinnacle acetabular component with an offset, face-changing polyethylene liner. We reviewed the presenting signs and symptoms associated with liner dissociations and analyzed the radiographs for the acetabular component position. RESULTS All cases of liner dissociation occurred without direct trauma and were associated with squeaking sounds reported by the patient. The average cup abduction angle was 55° (range, 51° to 60°) and the average anteversion was 21.5° (range, 17° to 24°). Examination of the dissociated liners at the time of revision surgery revealed plastic deformation of the polyethylene liner rim posterosuperiorly at the eleven o'clock position on the right hip and the one o'clock position on the left hip. CONCLUSIONS The combination of a vertically positioned acetabular component and an offset, face-changing liner resulted in impingement and dissociation of the liner from the shell in four patients. Proper acetabular component positioning, rather than the routine use of uniquely designed polyethylene liners, is critical to maximizing implant stability in total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Increased femoral head size may reduce dislocation rates following total hip replacement. The National Joint Registry for England and Wales has highlighted a statistically significant increase in the use of femoral heads ≥ 36 mm in diameter from 5% in 2005 to 26% in 2009, together with an increase in the use of the posterior approach. The aim of this study was to determine whether rates of dislocation have fallen over the same period. National data for England for 247 546 procedures were analysed in order to determine trends in the rate of dislocation at three, six, 12 and 18 months after operation during this time. The 18-month revision rates were also examined. Between 2005 and 2009 there were significant decreases in cumulative dislocations at three months (1.12% to 0.86%), six months (1.25% to 0.96%) and 12 months (1.42% to 1.11%) (all p < 0.001), and at 18 months (1.56% to 1.31%) for the period 2005 to 2008 (p < 0.001). The 18-month revision rates did not significantly change during the study period (1.26% to 1.39%, odds ratio 1.10 (95% confidence interval 0.98 to 1.24), p = 0.118). There was no evidence of changes in the coding of dislocations during this time. These data have revealed a significant reduction in dislocations associated with the use of large femoral head sizes, with no change in the 18-month revision rate.

Abstract
Modular component exchange is one of several viable options for treating instability after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Recently, we reported that polyethylene liners retrieved from stable THAs had significantly deeper cup articular geometry than liners retrieved from dislocated THAs. Modular liner exchange with implantation of a deeper cup articulation for the treatment of THA instability may be an option in certain cases. We describe the use of modular liner exchange with implantation of a custom polyethylene liner with a deepened articular geometry for surgical treatment of recurrent dislocation after primary THA in a 70 year old patient. The patient did not feel unstable and no symptoms of subluxation or dislocation have been experienced in the 3 years of follow-up subsequent to treatment. Surgeons should consider the articular geometry of the polyethylene liner as an important design parameter, and we recommend that deeper polyethylene liners be considered for treatment of recurrent dislocation after primary THA.

Abstract
From 1998 to 2007 Medicare 5% national sample dataset, 39 271 primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients were identified. Dislocations within 2 years (early) and after 2 years (late) of primary THA were identified. Cox regression was used to evaluate patient, hospital, and procedure characteristics for risk of dislocation, and 1540 (3.92%) and 451 (1.15%) patients were diagnosed with early and late dislocations, respectively. Dislocation rate at 6 months' follow-up decreased steadily between 1998 and 2007 from 4.21% to 2.14%. Early and late dislocation risks were lower by 35% (P < .001) and 43% (P = .01), respectively, for patients operated during 2004 and 2007 compared with 1998 and 2003. Higher Charlson index scores (i.e., more comorbid conditions) and surgeon volume were significant risk factors (P < or = .04). Decrease in dislocation risks after primary THA seems to coincide with increasing use of larger diameter femoral heads. An awareness of risk factors for dislocation can help surgeons identify high-risk patients so as to prescribe appropriate intervention strategies.

Abstract
Background Dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a significant complication that occurs in 2–5% of patients. It has been postulated that increasing the femoral head diameter may reduce the risk of dislocation. The purpose of this paper is to report our experiences with a change from a 28 to a 32-mm femoral head. Materials and methods The retrospective cohort study includes 2572 primary THA performed with a 28 or 32 mm diameter femoral head in the period February 2002 to July 2009. All patients were operated with a posterolateral approach, and all except 18 were operated because of osteoarthritis. Cemented stems were used in 1991 cases and uncemented stems in 581 cases. Cemented cups were used in 2,230 cases and uncemented cups in 342 cases. The patients have been routinely followed for 1–8 years in the 28-mm femoral head group and from 0.5–7.5 years in the 32 femoral head group. We defined a dislocation as an event in which the hip required reduction by a physician. Results Dislocation occurred in 49 hips with a 28-mm femoral head and in 4 hips with a 32-mm femoral head with an odds ratio of 6.06 (95% CI = 2.05–17.8) (P < 0.001). Otherwise, there were no significant associations between sex, age, diagnosis and type of prosthesis. Conclusions Multivariate analyses of patients operated at our hospital indicate a significant association between femoral head diameter and dislocation after THA. There were no significant associations between dislocation and sex, age, diagnosis, or type of prosthesis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of both a larger femoral head size and a posterior capsular repair would lead to a decreased incidence of dislocation following revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Two hundred forty-two consecutive revision THAs with posterolateral approach were performed between 2000 and 2005. Group 1 had 132 revision THAs with posterolateral approach and 28-mm head size without posterior capsule repair. Group 2 had 100 revision THAs with a 32-mm head size and repair of the remaining hip capsule. There were no statistically significant differences in the two groups. Group 1 had 14 dislocations (10.6%). Group 2 had 3 dislocations (2.7%) (P < .05). Based on the results of this retrospective review, the authors recommend the use of both larger femoral head sizes and repair of any posterior capsular tissue available in patients undergoing revision hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
We have developed an intraoperative model to quantify total hip arthroplasty impingement and dislocation mechanics using fluoroscopy and shape-matching techniques. Two patient groups were investigated: group 1 consisted of 12 hips using 28- or 32-mm femoral heads and an anterolateral surgical approach, and group 2 consisted of 17 hips using 22- or 26-mm femoral heads and a posterolateral surgical approach. During intraoperative hip stability testing consisting of extension and external rotation motions, group 1 was more unstable, and prosthetic impingement was the major reason for dislocation. With flexion and internal rotation motions, group 2 was more unstable, and superior-lateral impingement or soft tissue traction was the major reason for dislocation. Intraoperative quantitative assessment of hip mechanics provides a safe and clinically relevant method to characterize potential complications and evolve techniques to prevent them.

Abstract
Dislocation is the second most common complication in total hip arthroplasty, with reported incidences of up to 8 per cent. The authors' hypothesis is that, by modifying the rim of an acetabular component in order to shift the femoral neck contact position towards the periphery of the acetabulum, the torque required to dislocate the hip joint can be increased without reducing the range of motion. Three liners were designed and their dislocation characteristics mechanically evaluated using a custom experimental test jig designed to simulate the seated leg-cross. On the basis of torque and energy to dislocate and angle at dislocation, the hypothesis was accepted; geometrically varying the contact area between the femoral neck and the acetabular rim appear to be a powerful way to modify hip dislocation characteristics.

Abstract
Polyethylene liners of modular acetabular components wear sometimes need to be replaced, despite the metal shell being well fixed. Replacing the liner is a relatively simple procedure, but very little is known of the outcome of revision. We prospectively followed up 1126 Harris-Galante I metal-backed, uncemented components for between nine and 19 years. We found 38 (3.4%) liners of 1126 acetabular components wore and required revision. These revisions were then followed up for a mean of 4.8 years. The rate of dislocation was 28.9%. Nine of the dislocations occurred once and two were recurrent. The overall secondary revision rate was three of 38 total hip replacements (7.9%) at a mean follow-up of 4.8 years. This gives a 92.1% survivorship (35 of 38) at under five years. In isolated revision of a liner, we had a complication rate of 23% (three of 13). In revision of a liner combined with revision of the femoral stem, there was a complication rate of 48% (12 of 25). We discuss possible reasons for the high dislocation rates. Leaving the well-fixed acetabular shell in situ leads to an increased risk of instability. However, this needs to be balanced against the otherwise low complication rate for revision of the liner. Patients should be consented accordingly.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Authors of reports on the outcome of isolated liner exchange for osteolysis and wear have reported high dislocation rates. Twenty-six patients (27 hips) with a minimum of 2 years of followup had isolated liner exchange for wear and osteolysis done using the abductor splitting anterolateral approach. The mean followup was 41 months. The average age at time of surgery was 51 years. Preoperative Harris hip scores averaged 70, and increased to 82 at the most recent followup. We observed improvements in pain and functional scores. The average operating time was 82 minutes, and the average blood loss was 255 mL. Only three (12%) patients required transfusion. No components were rerevised for aseptic loosening, and one patient (one hip) had a dislocation (3.7%). Isolated liner exchange for osteolysis and wear done using the anterolateral approach has a lower risk of dislocation than previously reported and provides substantial improvements in pain, function, and Harris hip score.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Postoperative dislocation is one of the major causes of morbidity and failure of total hip arthroplasty. We reviewed 327 patients (377 hips) retrospectively with varying diagnoses and indications but all of whom received large-diameter metal-on-metal prostheses. Two surgical approaches were used: the anterolateral abductor splitting (342 procedures) and a mini-incision posterior approach (35 procedures). Average age at time of surgery was 55.9 years and average followup was 4.0 months. There were 346 (91.8%) primary procedures, 15 (4.0%) conversion procedures, and 16 (4.2%) revisions or reimplantations. The most common preoperative diagnoses included osteoarthritis (250 hips; 66.3%) and avascular necrosis (46 hips; 12.2%). There were 62 (16.4%) patients with high-risk diagnoses for dislocation. The status in terms of postoperative dislocation was known for all patients. During the short followup period, there were no dislocations. Use of large-diameter femoral heads and metal-on-metal articulations decreases the risk of dislocations, making their use a viable choice for primary and revision procedures.

Abstract
Component placement critically affects the performance and longevity of total hip replacements (THRs). Because of limitations of observation and anatomic orientation imposed by the operative site, selection of the correct size, and position of the acetabular and femoral components is best done through preoperative planning. Currently, this is done by comparing two-dimensional templates of prosthetic components with clinical radiographs; however, this method has the inherent limitation that AP and lateral radiographs each provide one projection of the pelvis and the femur. Computer technology makes it possible to observe implantation of the femoral and acetabular components in three dimensions. This approach allows surgeons to template with superior accuracy, while providing an intimate view of the fit of the components in the implantation site. Additionally, computer routines can predict the functional outcome of a preoperative plan before its implementation. Restoration of leg length, center of rotation, ROM of the joint during various activities, and points of bony and prosthetic impingement can be analyzed preoperatively by the surgeon. This is a valuable tool for surgical navigation and surgeon training. With emerging technologic advances in surgical technique, computer-based preoperative planning tools should prove all the more essential to reliable component placement.
