Abstract
This study analyzed the migration of a calcar-guided short stem to determine the course of very early migration, as well as evaluated the effect of an additional calcium phosphate (CP) coating on a titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating, which has not been analyzed previously. Sixty patients were enrolled in this study and were treated with the A2 calcar-guided short stem. The implant coating was randomized with either the TPS or an additional CP coating, and radiostereometric analysis was performed with the baseline measurement before initial weight-bearing, along with follow-up examinations at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Implant migrations were 0.27 mm (standard deviation [SD], 0.13 mm) and 0.74 mm (SD, 1.11 mm) at 1 week and 6 months post-surgery, respectively, and 65% and 87% of the implants reached their final position 1 week and 6 weeks after surgery, respectively. After 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, a significant increase was noted in the migration of the CP coating group vs. that of the TPS coating group. Upon the final observation at 6 months, the groups displayed on average a 0.74-mm migration. Most of the analyzed implants ceased migration within the first week post-surgery, but the CP coating demonstrated a higher and more prolonged migration compared to the TPS coating.

Selecting a Press-fit Stem for Total Hip Arthroplasty: The Rationale and Evolution of the Modern Femoral Prosthesis. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e1279-e1290. [PMID: 35962989 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-22-00074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Noncemented press-fit femoral stems predominate in total hip arthroplasty for all age groups with generally excellent long-term survivorship. The 2021 American Joint Replacement Registry reports that 96% of all elective primary total hip arthroplasties used noncemented femoral implant fixation. 1 Today, there are many styles of press-fit stems, each with supposed benefits, based on a range of design philosophies. Design aspects to consider when selecting a stem are numerous, including stem geometry, stem length, collared or collarless, material properties, and surface structure. Although most stem designs demonstrate excellent results, the differences in stem designs are intimately linked to additional factors such as ease of use/implantation, percentage of surface osseointegration, overall bone removal versus bone stock preservation, subsequent femoral stress shielding, and consideration of complexity of later revision. A surgeon with a broad understanding and appreciation of femoral stem designs should be prepared to select between the multitude of options to best serve individual patients.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening is a common cause of revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), and with the rising number of primary THAs, revisions for aseptic loosening represent a significant burden for arthroplasty surgeons. Aseptic loosening remains a diagnostic and management challenge. Loosening can occur as a result of inadequate initial fixation, mechanical loss of fixation over time, or a biological loss of fixation over time. However, in most cases, etiology is multifactorial, involving all 3 factors. The diagnosis of aseptic loosening involves a careful history, focused clinical exam, and thorough evaluation of imaging using several diagnostic modalities. The careful evaluation of serial radiographs remains the cornerstone of diagnosis with additional input from advanced imaging modalities such as FDG-PET, DEXA, MRI, and several others, each offering unique advantages and disadvantages. In certain patients, history and physical exam might be the only initial obvious signs of loosening, and thus, unexplained continuous pain augmented by imaging findings serves as an indication for revision surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subsidence is one of the concerning early complications in cementless femoral stem. Few publications have studied the influencing factors for subsidence in short cementless stems, due to their metaphyseal anchoring without diaphyseal invasion, they might demonstrate different subsidence patterns than with the conventional stems.
AIM To analyze the factors associated with significant subsidence in short stems, including any radiographic parameters.
METHODS The digitized radiographs of 274 consecutive short stem total hip arthroplasties were retrospectively reviewed. Subsidence, neck-filling ratio (NFR), seating height and lateral stem contact were evaluated after a minimum of two years follow-up. A threshold of subsidence > 3 mm was considered a clinically significant migration.
RESULTS For the entire cohort, subsidence occurred in 75 cases (27.4%) with the mean stem subsidence of 0.5 mm. (0-12.7, 1.68). Twelve hips (4.4%) had significant subsidence (> 3 mm). The univariate regression analysis demonstrated that age, diagnosis, BMI, Dorr’s type B, NFR, and seating height had no significant influence on significant subsidence, whereas insufficient lateral stem contact (≥ 1 mm) did have a statistically significant influence [Odds ratio (OR) = 5.02; 95%CI: 1.3-18.9; P = 0.017]. The multivariate regression analysis also demonstrated that insufficient lateral stem contact was a statistically significant influencing factor (OR = 5.5; 95%CI: 1.4-21.4; P = 0.014). There was no femoral stem revision for aseptic loosening in our cohort.
CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that insufficient lateral stem contact was a statistically significant influencing factor on significant subsidence. Therefore, it is a particularly important step to create proper lateral cortical contact when performing the short stem total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether short tapered stems reduce the rate of thigh pain through a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies between short tapered stems and standard-length tapered stems. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis of comparative studies: 1) retrospective studies and 2) randomized controlled trials (RCTs), on 2 stem designs: short tapered stem versus standard-length tapered stem. Studies were selected by means of the following criteria: 1) study design: retrospective comparative studies, prospective comparative studies, RCTs; 2) study population: patients with total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty for hip disease or hip fracture; 3) intervention: short tapered stem and standard tapered stem; and 4) outcomes; thigh pain, other clinical results. RESULTS Among the 250 articles that were identified at the initial search, 6 studies, 4 RCTs and 2 retrospective comparative studies, were included in this meta-analysis. In the analysis of retrospective studies, the short tapered stem reduced the risk of thigh pain compared to the standard tapered stem (risk ratio [RR] = 0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.09; Z = -2.07; P = 0.039). However, in the analysis of RCTs, the incidence of thigh pain was similar between the two stem designs (RR = 1.21; 95% CI, 0.76-1.93; Z = 0.82; P = 0.410). Overall meta-analysis including all studies showed that the short tapered stem did not reduce the incidence of thigh pain compared to the standard-length tapered stem (RR = 0.91; 95% CI, 0.59-1.40; Z = -0.44, P = 0.663). CONCLUSIONS We did not find a significant difference in the incidence of thigh pain between short tapered stem and standard tapered stem in hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
In recent decades, a large number of cementless short stems have been introduced to the market. The concept aims at saving soft tissue using minimally invasive surgery and at the same time preserving as much bone as possible. In particular, the latest generation of short stems, which are implanted using a calcar-guided round-the-corner technique, are attracting increasing attention. An individualised resection level allows individual stem alignment and thus an ideal reconstruction of the hip anatomy. The early clinical results of short-stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) are promising and have led to an expansion of the indications and limitations for the use of short stems. In particular, the individual positioning in valgus or varus and the resulting individual metaphyseal or metadiaphyseal anchorage offers various possibilities to reconstruct even abnormal joint morphologies. Consequently, short stems are increasingly used in patients with complex anatomical variations or in cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. In some various cases, they can also be used in revision or conversion arthroplasty. In some patients, short stems can also be used after femoral neck fracture. Currently, scientific data on those areas of indication of short-stem THA is scarce.

Abstract
The developments in hip and knee arthroplasty over recent years have aimed to improve outcomes, reduce complications and improve implant survival. This review describes some of the most interesting trends and developments in this important and fast-moving field. Notable developments have included ceramic hip resurfacing, mini hip stems, cementless knee replacement and the wider adoption of the dual mobility articulation for hip arthroplasty. Advances in additive manufacturing and the surface modification of joint replacements offer increasing options for more challenging arthroplasty cases. Robotic assisted surgery is one of the most interesting developments in hip and knee surgery. The recent growth in the use of this technology is providing data that will help determine whether this approach should become the standard of care for hip and knee arthroplasty in the future.

Abstract
Background In total hip arthroplasty (THA), short-stem prostheses (SS) were designed to achieve better preservation of proximal femoral bone stock and stability than conventional stem prostheses (CS), however these effects are controversial. We aimed perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of SS and CS in primary THA. Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the comparison of SS and CS in primary THA were screened using the electronic databases PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Data were analyzed with the RevMan 5.3 software program and evaluated with mean difference (MD), risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by random or fixed-effect models. Results Sixteen RCTs involving 1,233 patients (1,486 hips) were included. Compared with CS, the incidence of thigh pain was significantly reduced with Proxima SS (RR 0.13, 95% CI, 0.03–0.51; P=0.004). Bone mineral density (BMD) with femoral neck-preserved SS [SS (I)] showed less decrease in Gruen zone 1 (MD 14.60, 95% CI, 10.67–18.54; P<0.00001) and Gruen zone 7 (MD 9.72, 95% CI, 5.21–14.23; P<0.0001) than CS. However, the changes of BMD were not significantly different between the SS without femoral neck preservation group [SS (II)] and the CS group. In addition, no significant differences were found in the revision rate, Harris Hip Score (HHS), or maximum total point motion (MTPM) between the SS and CS groups. Conclusions The results of this study showed that compared with CS, Proxima SS decreased the incidence of thigh pain and that SS (I) provided better proximal bone remodeling than CS. But the revision rates, HHS, and MTPM between SS and CS were similar. However, the findings of this meta-analysis require further verification in high-quality RCTs.

Abstract
Background There has been an evolution in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) with newer short stem designs aimed to preserve metaphyseal bone stock and facilitate implantation through minimally invasive approaches. While early subsidence has been correlated to aseptic loosening in conventional stems, there is a paucity of data regarding short stems. The current study aims to report on stem subsidence and mid-term clinical outcomes of a cementless, metaphyseal-anchored short femoral stem, specifically designed for the direct anterior approach (DAA). Methods Ninety-four consecutive patients (100 hips) with a minimum follow-up of 5 years following cementless THA were included in this single-center retrospective study. Subsidence was evaluated using the “Ein-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse” (EBRA). Periprosthetic radiolucency allocated to the zones of Charnley and Gruen was assessed. Additionally, demographic and implant-related factors potentially associated with increased subsidence and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results At the last follow-up, the average stem subsidence was 1.98 ± 1.20 mm, with 48% of the implants demonstrating subsidence of > 2 mm. Periprosthetic radiolucency of > 2 mm was found in 26% of the implants in zone 1 and in 9% in zone 7, respectively. Neither the amount of subsidence nor proximal periprosthetic radiolucency was associated with aseptic loosening or worse clinical outcomes. Conclusions Comparable to other proximally fixed short stem designs, the highest subsidence was observed within the first 3 months following implantation. No demographic or implant-related factors were found to have a statistically significant influence on stem subsidence. Periprosthetic radiolucency and subsidence of the AMISstem is not correlated with worse clinical outcomes at 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
AIM The length of the femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a practical consideration to prevent gait impairment. The aim of this study was to determine if reducing the femoral stem length in THA would lead to impaired gait biomechanics. METHODS Patients uniformly with the same brand implant of differing lengths (100 mm vs 140-166 mm) were taken retrospectively from a prospective trial introducing a new short stem. Twelve patients without any other disorder to alter gait besides contralateral differing length stem THA were tested at differing gradients and speed on a validated instrumented treadmill measuring ground reaction forces. An anthropometrically similar group of healthy controls were analysed to compare. RESULTS With the same posterior surgical approach, the offset and length of both hips were reconstructed within 5 mm of each other with an identical mean head size of 36 mm. The short stem was the last procedure for all the hips with gait analysis occurring at a mean of 31 and 79 months postoperatively for the short and long stem THA, respectively. Gait analysis between limbs of both stem lengths demonstrated no statistical difference during any walking condition. In the 90 gait assessments with three loading variables, the short stem was the favoured side 51% of the time compared 49% for the long stem. CONCLUSION By testing a range of practical walking activities, no lower limb loading differences can be observed by reducing the femoral stem length. A shorter stem demonstrates equivalence in preference during gait when compared to a reputable conventional stem in total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term results of several short-stem designs have indicated early axial migration. Mid- and long-term results for most designs are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mid-term migration pattern of a calcar-guided short stem five years postoperative. METHODS Implant migration of 191 calcar-guided short stems was assessed by Ein-Bild-Roentgen-Analysis Femoral-Component- Analysis (EBRA-FCA) 5 years after surgery. Migration pattern of the whole group was analyzed and compared to the migration pattern of implants potentially being "at hazard" with a subsidence of more than 1.5 mm at 2 years postoperatively. Influence of preoperative Dorr types (A vs. B vs. C), age (<70 vs. >70 years), gender (female vs. male), weight (<90 kg vs. >90 kg), BMI (<30 vs. >30) and uni-vs. bilateral procedures on mid-term migration pattern was analyzed. Additionally outcome of varus- and valgus stem alignment was assessed. RESULTS Mean axial subsidence was 1.5 mm (SD 1.48 mm) at final follow-up. Two years after surgery 73 short stems were classified "at hazard". Of these stems, 69 cases showed secondary stabilisation in the following period, whereas 4 cases presented unstable with more than 1 mm of further subsidence. Stem revision was not required neither in the group of implants with early stabilisation nor the group with pronounced early onset migration. Male gender and heavy-weight patients had a significant higher risk for axial migration, as well as extensive valgus stem alignment, whereas for Dorr type B, compared to A, no statistical difference could be observed. CONCLUSIONS In most cases, even in the group of stems being "at hazard", settling could be documented. While different Dorr types did not show a statistically significant impact on axial migration, particularly in male and heavy-weight patients the risk of continuous subsidence is increased. In those 4 cases with further migration, undersizing of the stem could be recognized. At present, clinical consequences are still uncertain.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Short-stem hip arthroplasty has been a viable alternative to standard stems for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis for over 10 years. This study assessed whether a correlation existed between a greater initial increase in implant migration and inferior clinical outcomes at 5 years postoperatively. Results on these patients after 2 years have been published previously.Patients and methods - Radiostereometry and clinical scoring were undertaken after surgery and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, and 5 years postoperatively. The migration and the clinical outcomes data from the patients with initial migrations at 3 months above the 75th percentile (≥ 75% group) were compared with those with migrations at 3 months of less than the 75th percentile (< 75% group).Results - Between 3 months and 5 years after surgery, the mean resultant implant migrations were 0.40 mm (SD 0.32) in the ≥ 75% group and 0.39 mm (SD 0.25) in the < 75% group. The mean Harris Hip Scores and SF-36 physical scores at 5 years postoperatively were 100 (SD 0.4) and 44 (SD 12), respectively, for the ≥ 75% group and 99 (SD 2) and 50 (SD 10), respectively, for the < 75% group. The differences between the patient groups were not statistically significant.Interpretation - There was no correlation between a greater initial migration and inferior clinical outcomes at 5 years postoperatively. Despite a greater initial migration, there were no risks of early aseptic loosening and inferior midterm clinical outcomes associated with a short-stem implant with a primary metaphyseal anchorage.

Abstract
Aims The diversity of femoral morphology renders femoral component sizing in total hip arthroplasty (THA) challenging. We aimed to determine whether femoral morphology and femoral component filling influence early clinical and radiological outcomes following THA using fully hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated femoral components. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of 183 primary uncemented THAs. Femoral morphology, including Dorr classification, canal bone ratio (CBR), canal flare index (CFI), and canal-calcar ratio (CCR), were calculated on preoperative radiographs. The canal fill ratio (CFR) was calculated at different levels relative to the lesser trochanter (LT) using immediate postoperative radiographs: P1, 2 cm above LT; P2, at LT; P3, 2 cm below LT; and D1, 7 cm below LT. At two years, radiological femoral component osseointegration was evaluated using the Engh score, and hip function using the Postel Merle d’Aubigné (PMA) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS). Results CFR was moderately correlated with CCR at P1 (r = 0.44; p < 0.001), P2 (r = 0.53; p < 0.001), and CFI at P1 (r = − 0.56; p < 0.001). Absence of spot welds (n = 3, 2%) was associated with lower CCR (p = 0.049), greater CFI (p = 0.017), and lower CFR at P3 (p = 0.015). Migration (n = 9, 7%) was associated with lower CFR at P2 (p = 0.028) and P3 (p = 0.007). Varus malalignment (n = 7, 5%), predominantly in Dorr A femurs (p = 0.028), was associated with lower CFR at all levels (p < 0.05). Absence of spot welds was associated with lower PMA gait (p = 0.012) and migration with worse OHS (p = 0.032). Conclusion This study revealed that femurs with insufficient proximal filling tend to have less favourable radiological outcomes following uncemented THA using a fully HA-coated double-tapered femoral component.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This randomized control study was designed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes, including periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes, between the short and standard stems after using cementless hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with femur neck fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2013 to May 2017, 151 patients (aged ≥ 65 years) underwent hemiarthroplasties due to femoral neck fractures. Patients were randomized into two groups; 77 patients in Group A implanting the short femoral stem and 74 patients in Group B implanting the standard femoral stem. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed in all patients. RESULTS 75 patients (40 patients in Group A and 35 patients in Group B) completed routine follow-up for a minimum of 2 years. The clinical outcomes, including ambulatory functions and thigh pain, were similar in both groups. All the femoral stems acquired radiologic stability. At postoperative one year, BMD values in Gruen zone (G) seven on the standard stem side were significantly lower than those on the short stem side (P = 0.038). At the second year of follow-up, the BMD values of Group A in G1, G3, G4, and G7 were significantly greater than those of Group B (P = 0.007, 0.032, 0.026, and P < 0.000, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Both the clinical outcomes and radiologic stability in both group demonstrated similar results in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture at the latest follow-up. In addition, the periprosthetic BMD of the short femoral stems demonstrated better periprosthetic bone preservation at a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCES Therapeutic Level II.

Abstract
CASE The patient is a 63-year-old man who previously underwent a right total hip arthroplasty with the Corin MiniHip femoral stem. Within the first few months postoperatively, he had a fall that resulted in subsidence of his femoral prosthesis and subsequent revision shortly thereafter with a 10-mm skirted cobalt chrome femoral head. Eight years after the index procedure, the patient heard a crack and then collapsed while putting on bicycle shorts. Workup demonstrated a fracture of the stem at the base of the neck of the implant. Femoral stem revision with a diaphyseal engaging, modular implant, and dual mobility hip construct was performed. CONCLUSION Atraumatic catastrophic failure of the femoral stem implant may be associated with long skirted femoral heads that create excessive bending moments on the stem and revision surgery.

Abstract
Background Early femoral stem subsidence following a cementless THA is correlated with aseptic loosening of the femoral component. The short femoral stems allow bone sparing and implantation through a minimally invasive approach; however, due to their metaphyseal anchoring, they might demonstrate different subsidence pattern than the conventional stems. Methods In this prospective single-center study, a total of 68 consecutive patients with an average age of 63 years, and a minimum follow-up of 5 years following a cementless THA with a metaphyseal-anchored short femoral stem were included. The femoral stem subsidence was evaluated using “Ein Bild Roentgen Analyse” (EBRA). Results Average stem migration was 0.96 +/− 0.76 mm at 3 months, 1.71 +/− 1.26 mm at 24 months, and 2.04+/− 1.42 mm at last follow-up 60 months postoperative. The only factor that affected migration was a stem size of 6 or more (r2 = 5.74; p = 0.039). Subdivision analysis revealed, that only in females migration appeared to be affected by stem size irrespective of weight but not in men (female stem size of 6 or more vs. less (Difference = − 1.48 mm, R2 = 37.5; p = 0.001). Migration did not have an impact on clinical outcome measures. Conclusions The examined metaphyseal-anchored short femoral stem showed the highest subsidence within the first 3 months postoperative, the implant began to stabilize at about 24 months but continued to slowly migrate with average total subsidence of 2.04 mm at 5 years following the THA. The amount of stem subsidence was not associated with worse clinical outcomes such as HHS, patient satisfaction, or pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of total hip arthroplasties (THA) is rising in many industrialized nations. At the same time, the evidence regarding different types of prostheses and fixation techniques is constantly evolving. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze changes in THA by these advancements during the last decade. METHODS A retrospective analysis of data provided by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany from 2007 to 2016 was conducted using codes from the German procedure classification system and associated International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems codes. THA procedures were evaluated according to diagnoses, sex, and age of patients, along with the distribution of different prosthesis types. Additionally, changes in these parameters over time were analyzed. RESULTS From 2007 to 2016 a total of 2 157 041 primary THA procedures were performed in Germany, with an increase of 14.4% over this period. Overall, cementless standard THA (STHA) was used most frequently (50.0%), followed by hybrid variants (18.8%), hemiarthroplasties (15.9%), cemented standard THA (cSTHA; 9.2%), cementless short-stem THA (ssTHA; 4.8%), and hip resurfacing (HR; 0.9%) techniques. During the study period, the number of cSTHA and HR decreased significantly, whereas the use of STHA and ssTHA rose substantially, with a significantly higher application of these procedures in the elderly population. While osteoarthritis of the hip joint was the main indication for THA, several procedure-specific differences were identified. CONCLUSION The present data clearly demonstrate an increase in the use of cementless fixation for THA in Germany during the last decade and document a rise in ssTHA in recent years with, in contrast, the use of HR decreasing to a minimum.
