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
To establish the pattern of bone remodeling caused by a cementless, anatomic implant, we intend to evaluate the changes in bone mineral density observed after surgery in the Gruen zones. A controlled, prospective study was carried out, in which a group of 37 patients with primary coxarthrosis were densitrometrically analyzed over the 1 year period following the implant of an ANATO stem (Stryker). The patient's healthy hip was taken as the control. Any differences in the remodeling pattern were compared according to age, body mass index, and implant size. Decreases in bone mineral density were observed after 3 months in all of the zones studied. However, this bone mineral density loss was recovered in all zones by the end of the study, except in zone 7 where a decrease of 7.2% in bone mass was observed. In zones 2 and 6, where more loads are transmitted, bone mass preservation, in accordance with Wolff's law, can be seen. No differences were found in the remodeling pattern in relation to age and body mass index. There were also no differences related to stem size except in zones 1 and 7. The ANATO stem achieves an efficient transmission of loads between the stem and the proximal femur, providing enough mechanical loads for bone preservation. It is only in zone 7 where significant bone atrophy can be observed, attributable to the damage that this area suffers during the surgical process and the subsequent stress-shielding caused by the implant design.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative bone mass index has shown to be an important factor in peri-prosthetic bone remodelling in short follow-up studies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bone density scans (DXA) were used to perform a 10-year follow-up study of 39 patients with a unilateral, uncemented hip replacement. Bone mass index measurements were made at 6 months, one year, 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years after surgery. Pearson coefficient was used to quantify correlations between preoperative bone mass density (BMD) and peri-prosthetic BMD in the 7 Gruen zones at 6 months, one year, 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years. RESULTS Pre-operative BMD was a good predictor of peri-prosthetic BMD one year after surgery in zones 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 (Pearson index from 0.61 to 0.75). Three years after surgery it has good predictive power in zones 1, 4 and 5 (0.71-0.61), although in zones 3 and 7 low correlation was observed one year after surgery (0.51 and 0.57, respectively). At the end of the follow-up low correlation was observed in the 7 Gruen zones. Sex and BMI were found to not have a statistically significant influence on peri-prosthetic bone remodelling. CONCLUSION Although preoperative BMD seems to be an important factor in peri-prosthetic remodelling one year after hip replacement, it loses its predictive power progressively, until not being a major factor in peri-prosthetic remodelling ten years after surgery.

Hip resurfacing versus total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review comparing standardized outcomes. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2014; 472:2217-30. [PMID: 24700446 PMCID: PMC4048407 DOI: 10.1007/s11999-014-3556-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2013] [Accepted: 02/25/2014] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing was developed for younger, active patients as an alternative to THA, but it remains controversial. Study heterogeneity, inconsistent outcome definitions, and unstandardized outcome measures challenge our ability to compare arthroplasty outcomes studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked how early revisions or reoperations (within 5 years of surgery) and overall revisions, adverse events, and postoperative component malalignment compare among studies of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing with THA among patients with hip osteoarthritis. Secondarily, we compared the revision frequency identified in the systematic review with revisions reported in four major joint replacement registries. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of English language studies published after 1996. Adverse events of interest included rates of early failure, time to revision, revision, reoperation, dislocation, infection/sepsis, femoral neck fracture, mortality, and postoperative component alignment. Revision rates were compared with those from four national joint replacement registries. Results were reported as adverse event rates per 1000 person-years stratified by device market status (in use and discontinued). Comparisons between event rates of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and THA are made using a quasilikelihood generalized linear model. We identified 7421 abstracts, screened and reviewed 384 full-text articles, and included 236. The most common study designs were prospective cohort studies (46.6%; n = 110) and retrospective studies (36%; n = 85). Few randomized controlled trials were included (7.2%; n = 17). RESULTS The average time to revision was 3.0 years for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (95% CI, 2.95-3.1) versus 7.8 for THA (95% CI, 7.2-8.3). For all devices, revisions and reoperations were more frequent with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing than THA based on point estimates and CIs: 10.7 (95% CI, 10.1-11.3) versus 7.1 (95% CI, 6.7-7.6; p = 0.068), and 7.9 (95% CI, 5.4-11.3) versus 1.8 (95% CI, 1.3-2.2; p = 0.084) per 1000 person-years, respectively. This difference was consistent with three of four national joint replacement registries, but overall national joint replacement registries revision rates were lower than those reported in the literature. Dislocations were more frequent with THA than metal-on-metal hip resurfacing: 4.4 (95% CI, 4.2-4.6) versus 0.9 (95% CI, 0.6-1.2; p = 0.008) per 1000 person-years, respectively. Adverse event rates change when discontinued devices were included. CONCLUSIONS Revisions and reoperations are more frequent and occur earlier with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing, except when discontinued devices are removed from the analyses. Results from the literature may be misleading without consistent definitions, standardized outcome metrics, and accounting for device market status. This is important when clinicians are assessing and communicating patient risk and when selecting which device is most appropriate for individual patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different patterns of stress shielding may lead to differences in periprosthetic bone preservation around cemented and uncemented hips in the long term? QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to compare the difference in periprosthetic bone density between cemented Charnley total hip and uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated Furlong THAs at a minimum followup of 12 years (mean, 16 years; range, 12-24 years). METHODS We studied a cohort of 17 patients who had bilateral THAs with a cemented Charnley THA on one side and an uncemented Furlong hydroxyapatite-coated THA on the other side. At a minimum followup of 12 years, Harris and Oxford hip scores were used to determine the function, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry was used to quantify bone mineral density adjacent to the prosthesis. The results of the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan for cemented and uncemented hips were analyzed using paired-sample two-tailed t-tests. To compare the Harris hip scores, a nonparametric Wilcoxon test was used. RESULTS Bone mineral density was higher on the uncemented Furlong side in Gruen Zones 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the proximal femur and DeLee and Charnley Zone 1 of the acetabulum. In all other zones, there was no difference. Comparison of Harris and Oxford hip scores showed no differences between the two hips. CONCLUSION Bone density is better preserved around the uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated Furlong stem compared with the Charnley cemented stem. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
For assessment of bone remodelling around total hip arthroplasty using dual-emission X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), a variety of different systems to identify regions of interest (ROI) have been used, making comparisons between stem designs difficult. The Gruen zones are now widely used for this purpose. We present the results of a randomised clinical trial comparing 2 uncemented stem designs with proximal coating, using a modification of the Gruen zones to allow improved representation of the effect of the implant on bone mineral density (BMD) over time. DEXA-data were used in a randomised trial with 2 years follow up, comparing the uncemented Symax(TM) (n=25) and Omnifit(®) (n=24) stems. The effect on BMD was determined using the 'standard' adapted Gruen zones, and a modification which studied an equal length and position for zones 1 and 7 around both stems, assuring that the same regions in terms of cancellous and cortical bone were compared. The 'modified' regions of interest give lower BMD values around the Omnifit(®) than using the 'standard' Gruen zones (3.6 % in zone 7, p<0.05). The difference with the Symax(TM) BMD values, which had been concealed using the standard Gruen zones, became statistically significant in favour of the Symax(TM) implant. This adaptation can detect a statistically significant difference in bone preservation in zone 7 between stems that would otherwise not have been revealed. We recommend the use of 'modified' Gruen zones for more valid comparison of remodelling caused by different implant designs.

Abstract
The major advantage of hip resurfacing is the decreased amount of bone resection compared with a standard total hip replacement. Fracture of the femoral neck is the most common early complication and poor bone quality is a major risk factor. We undertook a prospective consecutive case control study examining the effect of bone mineral density changes in patients undergoing hip resurfacing surgery. A total of 423 patients were recruited with a mean age of 54 years (24 to 87). Recruitment for this study was dependent on pre-operative bilateral femoral bone mineral density results not being osteoporotic. The operated and non-operated hips were assessed. Bone mineral density studies were repeated over a two-year period. The results showed no significant deterioration in the bone mineral density in the superolateral region in the femoral neck, during that period. These findings were in the presence of a markedly increased level of physical activity, as measured by the short-form 36 health survey physical function score.

Abstract
Proximally hydroxyapatite-coated stems have performed well clinically but produced moderate proximal stress shielding and midstem cancellous condensation. Stem modification (stem shortening and distal tip polishing) has resulted in greater incidence of thigh pain. We performed a retrospective finite element analysis of the effects of stem length and surface finish to determine if midstem fixation could be avoided and the results could relate to the clinical outcomes. The modified short stem not only produced moderately less proximal bone resorption but also exhibited greater instability with 40% to 94% greater bone-implant relative motion at the stem tip. Bone formation potential at the transition between the coated and uncoated regions of both stems was observed based on changes in strain energy density. These findings are consistent with previous radiographic and clinical comparisons of short- and long-stem designs. Increased pain incidence for short-stem patients may be related to decreased implant instability and increased interface relative motion.

Abstract
Bone remodeling after a hip arthroplasty has been quantified with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, usually for short-term follow-up. We used this technique to determine the long-term remodeling produced by a hydroxyapatite-coated, anatomic stem. Eighty patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis were included in the study. The contralateral, healthy hip was taken as control. Bilateral dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scans were done before the surgery, at 15 days, and 1 and 10 years postoperatively. There was a decrease of bone mineral density in zones 1 and 7, which ranged from 12.2% to 27.3% at the end of the first year. There were no changes in zones 1 to 6 from the 1st to the 10th year, but there was a late decrease, up to 42.9%, in zone 7. The changes of bone mineral density promoted by this stem occurred in the first postoperative year. Late loss was seen only in area 7.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In a consecutive series of 64 patients with an ABG-II stem, we analyzed whether the tightness of the fit of the prosthesis affected bone remodeling and if there was a relation between clinical and radiological results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Radiographic analysis of bone remodeling in different Gruen zones was done. Bone density changes were graded as present or absent in the AP and lateral radiographs as compared with the previous sets of radiographs. Bone remodeling was compared to literature values of the ABG-I stem. Three stem levels were defined. The proximal level was set at the upper border of the lesser trochanter, the mid-stem level at halfway the stem and the distal level 1 cm above the tip of the prosthesis. Femoral fit was defined as tight when the ratio of the fit was >/=0.8 and as non-tight if the fit was <0.8. The incidence of thigh pain was scored using the Merle d'Aubigne (MdA) hip score. RESULTS Proximal bone resorption in Gruen zone 1 was 26.6% and in zone 7, 34.4% compared to 48 and 45% for the ABG-I stem after 5 years. No correlation was found between femoral fit and radiological changes. Proximal and distal fit was significantly lower for patients with thigh pain than without thigh pain. Patients with a non-tight proximal fit produced significantly more varus (17/30 = 56.7%) than patients with a tight proximal fit (2/34 = 5.9%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Femoral fit in ABG-II does not predict certain radiological changes, but less proximal bone resorption confirms the design changes from ABG-I to ABG-II. A non-tight proximal fit is correlated with varus position of the stem. Thigh pain is correlated with a poor fit and fill of the femoral stem.

Abstract
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine the densitometric relevance of minor design modifications of a cementless stem designed to improve proximal load transfer. We used a prospective cohort study with densitometric analysis over a five-year period of two groups of patients with primary osteoarthritis. The first group, 56 hips, received the first version of the ABG stem (ABG-I); the second group, 54 hips, had the ABG-II stem. The results obtained with the ABG-I stem showed a decrease of bone density in proximal areas that ranged from 13% to 37%. However, the new design had a decrease of the same areas that ranged from 9% to 23%. These differences were noted at the end of the first post-operative year and remained stable, except in zone 7, where they were progressive. There is little evidence that the modified stem reduces femoral bone density loss.

Abstract
Recently it was shown that the design changes from the ABG-I to ABG-II hip stem resulted in a better, although not significant, proximal bone preservation. Our hypothesis was that by matching patients for preoperative bone quality, statistical power would increase and that the trend of better proximal bone preservation in ABG-II might become significant. Twenty-four ABG-II patients were compared to two different ABG-I groups: (1) 25 patients from our earlier prospective study and (2) a group of 24 patients selected to perfectly match the ABG-II group regarding gender, age and preoperative bone quality. Postoperative changes in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) were quantified at 2 years postoperatively using DEXA scanning. Bone preservation (less BMD loss) was better for the ABG-II than the ABG-I (all two groups) in the proximal zones 1 and 7. In Gruen zone 7, a statistically significant difference was found for group B (p = 0.03). By matching patients for preoperative bone quality and gender, a statistical significant difference was found in proximal bone preservation in favour of ABG-II. In future comparative bone remodelling studies using DEXA, patients should be matched for preoperative bone quality and gender.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The CFP stem represents a short collared neck-retaining stem with very proximal metaphyseal anchoring along the calcar combined with up-to-date metallurgy. Despite theoretical advantages, the stability and clinical outcome are unknown. We prospectively measured the migration pattern of this new stem and cup. Twenty-six patients (26 hips) with a mean age of 54 years (range, 40-66 years) underwent THA and were followed for 2 years with radiostereometry, radiographs, and clinical scores. The stem showed some early retroversion (mean, SEM 0.6 degrees, 0.3), but stabilized before 1 year. Subsidence (0.05 mm, 0.06) and varus-valgus tilting (0.03 degrees, 0.01) were low. We observed no bone loss in the calcar region. Factors related to patients, implant design, and implantation did not predict migration patterns. The two-dimensional wear of the ceramic/conventional articulation was 0.09 mm at 2-24 months. The low migration of this short neck preserving stem suggests a favorable long-term outcome but longer followup is needed to substantiate this prediction. This design might become an alternative to standard stems and hip resurfacing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV. See The Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical, radiological, and densitometric changes in the bone-remodelling patterns of femoral stems aligned in neutral, valgus, or varus positions. METHODS Between February and October 2000, 70 patients underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis using an uncemented Anatomique Benoist Girard (ABG) II stem. 69 patients (30 males and 39 females) with a mean age of 59 years (range, 38-76 years) and a mean body weight of 79.3 kg (range, 29-110 kg) completed 3 years' follow-up on bone remodelling. The clinical, radiological, and densitometric changes of the neutral, valgus, and varus groups were evaluated, and the difference in bone-remodelling patterns between the 3 groups was analysed. RESULTS 54 patients had neutrally placed stems, while varus and valgus malalignment occurred in 6 and 9 patients, respectively. Clinical and radiological evaluations were very similar among the 3 groups. Only densitometry could detect traceable changes resulting from the differing biomechanics of the neutral, varus, and valgus stem alignments. CONCLUSION The ABG II stem design made moderate errors in alignment biomechanically tolerable. Alignment defects had no clinical consequences and resulted in minimal differences in bone remodelling.

Abstract
The changes of the periprosthetic bone density were examined with DEXA in 81 patients over a period of 1 year after implantation of cementless total hip endoprosthesis. Four types of endoprostheses (Vision 2000/Duraloc, ALPHA-Fit/ALPHA-Lock Plus, CLS/Allofit, Mayo/Trilogy) were implanted. Information on the changes of the periprosthetic bone density depending on the type of the prosthesis and the bony situation at the femur before operation was expected from these measurements. In all types of stems the strongest reduction of the bone density was found in the region of the calcar femoris, and the smallest changes were found distally and medially of the tip of the prostheses. In the prosthesis with shorter stem the change of the bone density was altogether clearly lower than in prostheses with longer stem. With increasing size of the prosthesis with proximally porous coating made from cobalt-chrome alloy, proximal atrophy was observed more frequently, whilst in the prosthesis made from titanium alloy with completely rough-blasted surface the distal hypertrophy increased. A low preoperative corticalis-bone marrow index strengthened the proximal atrophy in proximally porously coated prosthesis made from cobalt-chrome alloy and led in the prosthesis with completely rough-blasted surface more often to distal hypertrophy of the bone.
