J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:3200-3208. [PMID: 33992480 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Purpose of this study was to determine implant survivorship and resultant outcomes, including modes of failure, for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing through the Hueter anterior approach (HAA). METHODS Retrospective review of cases from 2006 to 2015, resulted in 555 metal-on-metal hip resurfacing via HAA, mean age 49.4 ± 6.9 years and mean BMI 28.1 ± 5.3. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess implant survivorship. Evaluation of technique was based on radiographic assessment of component position at 6 weeks. Patient-reported outcome measures were assessed using 12-Item Short Form Survey 12, University of California Los Angeles activity, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and hip disability osteoarthritis outcome scores. RESULTS At a mean follow-up of 9.18 years, survivorship was 95.0% at 5 years (95% CI: 93.2-96.8 years) and 92.5% at 10 years (95% CI: 90.0-95.0 years); men at 96.1% (95% CI: 94.3-97.9) and 93.8% (95% CI: 91.1-96.5), and women at 88.8% (95% CI: 81.9-95.7) and 85.6% (95% CI: 77.6-93.6), 5 and 10 years, respectively (P = .033). There were 37 revisions to total hips (7%) at a mean time of 3.3 years (SD 2.7). Indications for revision were aseptic loosening of acetabular (n = 12) and femoral component (n = 7) and pseudotumor (n = 6). Radiographic parameters were respectable and consistent, median acetabular inclination angle 41.2° and femoral stem shaft angle 137.7°. Patient-reported outcome measure scores significantly improved and remained stable at 2 and 5 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION Although choice of surgical approach should always be based on surgeon's technical expertise, this study has shown that HAA is safe and effective for hip resurfacing. Mindful attention to long-term metal ion exposure must still be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between morphological differences in labral tears and clinical features of the hip joint in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of labral tears. Hip labral tears were morphologically classified as longitudinal peripheral tears (group L), radial fibrillated tears (group FI), radial flaps (group FL), and an unstable labrum (group U). Radiographically, the center-edge angle, acetabular roof obliquity, vertical-center-anterior angle, alpha angle, femoral head-neck offset ratio, and crossover sign were evaluated and compared among the groups. The relationship between labral morphology and these radiographic findings, as well as clinical findings, such as age, gender, preoperative range of hip motion, and the clinical outcomes using modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were also examined. RESULTS This study included fifty patients. Groups L and FI were often observed in late middle-aged patients with relatively shallow acetabular coverage. Group FL tears were frequently observed in young males with radiographic features, such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), compared to the other groups. Group U comprised mostly young females with relatively shallow acetabular coverage compared to the other groups. For the postoperative mHHS, group FL showed the best score among all groups, with a significant difference between groups FL and FI (p = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that morphologically, different labral tears were associated with different clinical features and radiological findings. Especially, our study can provide predictive findings for hip arthroscopists that younger males with FAI show better clinical outcomes when compared to middle-aged females with shallow acetabulum, which is indicative of degenerative hip labral tears.

Abstract
The impact between acetabulum and femoral neck is another possible mechanism of femoral neck fracture.Direct trauma of the greater trochanter may not be able to fully explain the mechanism underlying femoral neck fracture. In this study, we sought to investigate whether anterior femoroacetabular impingement are associated with femoral neck fractures.A total of 36 patients with femoral neck fracture who had undergone total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty were included in this study. These patients were divided into 2 groups: labrum tear group and normal labrum group. Patients' age, gender, body mass index, muscle injury, injury pattern, trauma severity, femoral head-neck offset, femoral head-neck ratio, Cam deformity alpha angle, acetabular anteversion, femoral head diameter, acetabular index, cortical index, hip axis length, and neck stem angle were recorded and analyzed. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analyses.According to intraoperative findings, 22 patients exhibited a labrum tear. Magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed bone contusion on the anterolateral margin of the acetabulum with muscle damage surrounding the hip. Among 14 cases without a labrum tear, no bone contusion and obvious muscle injury were found on the anterolateral margin of the acetabulum. Notably, muscle injury, injury pattern, trauma severity and femoral head-neck offset differed significantly (P < .05) between labrum tear and normal labrum groups.Previous studies have focused more on direct lateral trauma. In this study, the impact between acetabulum and femoral neck is another possible mechanism besides lateral impact. Specifically, the abnormal anatomy of the hip, such as femoral head-neck offset, may promote the fracturing process.

Abstract
AIMS Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been highlighted and well documented primarily in Western countries and there are few large studies focused on FAI-related morphological assessment in Asian patients. We chose to investigate this subject. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed the morphology of the hip and the prevalence of radiographic FAI in Japanese patients by measuring predictors of FAI. We reviewed a total of 1178 hips in 695 men and 483 women with a mean age of 58.2 years (20 to 89) using CT images that had been obtained for reasons unrelated to symptoms from the hip. We measured the lateral centre edge angle, acetabular index, crossover sign, alpha angle and anterior femoral head-neck offset ratio. RESULTS A total of 441 hips (37.4%) had pincer-type deformity (41.7% men, 31.3% women) and 534 (45.3%) had cam-type deformity (54.4% men, 32.3% women). Moreover, 773 hips (65.6%) had at least one parameter that predisposes to FAI (74.0% men, 53.6% women) and 424 hips (36.0%) had two or more parameters (43.6% men, 25.0% women). CONCLUSION The prevalence of radiographic FAI was common in Japanese patients who are generally considered to have dysplastic hips. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1167-74.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence of herniation pits (HPs) and to evaluate differences in radiographic features related to femoroacetabular impingement-a hip disorder with abnormal abutment between the acetabulum and femur-between hips with and without HPs in a convenience sample of Japanese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 1,178 hips on each side (695 men, 483 women; mean age, 58.2 years) using computed tomographic images. The radiological assessments of hip morphology were performed by measuring the lateral center edge angle, acetabular index, acetabular version, alpha angle, and femoral head-neck offset. HPs were defined as the round or oval cystic lesions surrounded by sclerotic bone located below the anterior femoral neck cortex. RESULTS Intraclass and interclass reproducibility of all radiographic measurements was acceptable (ICC: 0.71-0.98). The prevalence of HPs was 13.9 % in all subjects and was significantly higher in men (18.1 %) than in women (7.8 %; p < 0.001). HPs were larger in male (p < 0.001) and elderly subjects (p < 0.005). In subjects with HPs, the alpha angle was larger and femoral head-neck offset and offset ratio were smaller in the cohort overall and in men. Logistic regression analysis revealed the association between radiological cam-type FAI and HPs in all subjects (odds ratio: 1.86, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We revealed the prevalence of HPs and showed it has a predilection for men in this Japanese cohort. Femoral head asphericity or small head-neck offset was more common in subjects with HPs than those without HPs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the safety and efficacy of hip arthroscopy performed in the peripheral compartment as a diagnostic and therapeutic treatment option for patients with hip pain after hip resurfacing surgery. METHODS Indications for hip arthroscopy after hip resurfacing included patients with a symptomatic hip-resurfaced arthroplasties who did not respond to nonoperative treatment. Patients who underwent a hip arthroscopy after a painful hip resurfacing were included with a minimum of 1 year follow-up. Subgroup analysis was performed according to whether an established diagnosis was made before arthroscopic intervention or not. Subjective measures were based on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, and results were calculated and analyzed. RESULTS We included 68 patients (26 male [38%] and 42 female [62%]) who underwent subsequent hip arthroscopy from a population of 978 consecutive hip-resurfaced arthroplasties performed between 1999 and 2010. The average age was 58 (range, 37 to 78 years). The mean follow-up after hip arthroscopy was 3.4 years (range, 12 months to 5.8 years). Patients who had an established diagnosis (n = 41) before hip arthroscopy showed statistical improvement in their WOMAC scores (7 to 2, P < .001). Only 3 (7%) of these 41 patients failed and were converted to a total hip replacement (THR); however, patients who did not have an established diagnosis (n = 27) before undergoing hip arthroscopy showed statistical worsening of the WOMAC (15 to 21, P = .002). Ten (37%) of these 27 patients without a diagnosis failed and needed to be converted to a THR. A significant correlation was found between the collections found on ultrasound (psoas bursa and/or in the hip joint) and the need for synovectomy (P = .01). The overall revision rate to THR after hip resurfacing in our group of patients was 1.3% (n = 13). Female patients were more likely to require postresurfacing hip arthroscopy with 42 (60%) female to only 26 (40%) male patients undergoing this procedure. In our study population, 70% (14/21, P < .05) of patients with hip pain caused by severe metal synovial reaction or metal-on-metal reaction were women. A total of 5 (7%) patients had minor-to-mild complications after hip arthroscopy. CONCLUSIONS Hip arthroscopy is a safe surgical treatment option for those patients with a painful hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Having an accurate diagnosis before hip arthroscopy improves the likelihood a good outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV - therapeutic case series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomic reconstruction of the hip is among the main requirements for hip arthroplasty to be successful. Resurfacing arthroplasty may improve replication of the native joint geometry but has been evaluated only using standard radiographs. We therefore performed a computed tomography (CT) study to assess restoration of hip geometry after total hip resurfacing (HR), comparatively with the non-operated side. HYPOTHESIS HR does not change native extra-medullary hip geometry by more than 5mm and/or 5°. PATIENTS AND METHODS CT was used to evaluate unilateral HR in 75 patients with a mean age of 52.2years (range, 22-67years). The normal non-operated side served as the control in each patient. Mean follow-up was 2.5years (range, 1.9-3.1years). The primary evaluation criteria were femoral offset (FO) and femoral neck anteversion (FNA) and the secondary criteria were cup inclination angle, cup anteversion angle, and lower-limb length. RESULTS FO showed a non-significant decrease (mean, -2.2mm; range, -4.5 to +3.7mm). FNA was preserved, with a difference of less than 2° at last follow-up versus the preoperative value. Cup measurements showed a mean anteversion angle of 24.8° (0.9-48.6) and mean inclination angle of 44.1° (32.1-56.3); corresponding values for the native acetabulum were 38.9° (20.5-54.8) and 24.8° (4.8-33.6). The residual lower-limb length discrepancy was less than 1mm (mean, -0.04mm [-1.2 to +1.6mm]). The mean angle between the femoral implant and the femoral neck axis was 5.4° of valgus. DISCUSSION Our results show that HR accurately restored the native extra-medullary hip geometry. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, prospective diagnostic case-control study.

Abstract
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of disorders that results in anatomic abnormalities leading to increased contact stress in the joint and, eventually, secondary osteoarthritis. However, many patients with DDH become symptomatic before the severe degenerative changes of the hip because of abnormal hip biomechanics, mild hip instability, impingement, or associated intra-articular pathology. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for DDH are of the utmost importance. With the modification of techniques like pelvic osteotomy and capsular arthroplasty, and the introduction of intracapsular procedures such as arthroscopy and femoral head-neck junction osteochondroplasty, many young patients with symptomatic hip dysplasia may benefit from joint preservation procedures. We review the current development of these concepts and the associated surgical techniques.

Abstract
Pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and surface arthroplasty (SRA) remains a significant source of patient dissatisfaction. Two hundred twenty-four SRA and 196 THA patients completed a pain drawing questionnaire and postoperative radiographic measurements of component positioning were performed. In the SRA cohort, 11 of 21 patients (52%) with acetabular uncoverage of ≥5 mm versus 43 of 147 (29%) with acetabular uncoverage of ≤4.9 mm reported groin pain (P=.03). In the THA cohort, an increased distal-third canal fill ratio and a lower canal calcar ratio trended towards a higher incidence of thigh pain (P=.10 and .06), while a decreased mid-third canal fill ratio was associated with increased severity of thigh pain (P=.04). This study identifies associations between radiographic findings and pain following THA and SRA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The many radiographic views suggested for evaluating anterior femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), due to a cam effect, are not specific for this condition and have not been proven of diagnostic value in studies, including control groups. Using a new and specific radiographic view, we evaluated the reproducibility of the main radiographic criteria for FAI, determined normal values for these criteria in a control group, and established diagnostic threshold values. HYPOTHESIS This specific view offers good reproducibility and effectively detects abnormal values of criteria for FAI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Inter-observer and intra-observer reproducibility of specific radiographic criteria (αangle and modified head-neck offset [HNO]) were computed from preoperative and postoperative radiographs of 96 hips (75 patients, 61 males and 14 females) using the specific 45°-45°-30° frog-leg view (F45 view). Values in the group with FAI were compared to those in a control group of asymptomatic volunteers (100 hips, 27 males and 23 females). RESULTS Inter-observer and intra-observer reproducibility was very good, with intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.955and 0.987, respectively, for the α angle and of 0.895 and 0.984, respectively, for the HNO. Mean values of both parameters differed significantly between the FAI and control groups: 73.9° (53° to 96°) vs. 49.3° (35° to 69°) for the αangle, respectively; and 2.5mm (-4.6 to 9.4) vs. 7.6mm (1.7 to 11.8) for HNO, respectively. The normal values defined as the boundary of the 95% reference interval in the control group were<60.2° for the α angle, and>4.6mm for the HNO. DISCUSSION The45°-45°-30° frog-leg view is useful for diagnosing FAI due to a cam effect. This view is easy to perform, and the thresholds determined in our study assist in its interpretation: α angle values>58° in females and>63° in males indicate cam-type femoral geometry. In both genders, HNO values<5mm support a diagnosis of anterior FAI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, case-control study.

Optimal acetabular component orientation estimated using edge-loading and impingement risk in patients with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty. J Biomech 2014; 48:318-23. [PMID: 25482661 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2014.11.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2014] [Revised: 11/17/2014] [Accepted: 11/20/2014] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Edge-loading in patients with metal-on-metal resurfaced hips can cause high serum metal ion levels, the development of soft-tissue reactions local to the joint called pseudotumours and ultimately, failure of the implant. Primary edge-loading is where contact between the femoral and acetabular components occurs at the edge/rim of the acetabular component whereas impingement of the femoral neck on the acetabular component's edge causes secondary or contrecoup edge-loading. Although the relationship between the orientation of the acetabular component and primary edge-loading has been identified, the contribution of acetabular component orientation to impingement and secondary edge-loading is less clear. Our aim was to estimate the optimal acetabular component orientation for 16 metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA) subjects with known serum metal ion levels. Data from motion analysis, subject-specific musculoskeletal modelling and Computed Tomography (CT) measurements were used to calculate the dynamic contact patch to rim (CPR) distance and impingement risk for 3416 different acetabular component orientations during gait, sit-to-stand, stair descent and static standing. For each subject, safe zones free from impingement and edge-loading (CPR <10%) were defined and, consequently, an optimal acetabular component orientation was determined (mean inclination 39.7° (SD 6.6°) mean anteversion 14.9° (SD 9.0°)). The results of this study suggest that the optimal acetabular component orientation can be determined from a patient's motion and anatomy. However, 'safe' zones of acetabular component orientation associated with reduced risk of dislocation and pseudotumour are also associated with a reduced risk of edge-loading and impingement.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined the remodelling of the femoral head-neck junction in patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and the frequency of residual cam deformities. METHODS We reviewed 69 hips in 56 patients with stable SCFE who had undergone in situ pinning. Mean age at slip was 11.7 years and the follow-up period 63.4 months. Cam deformity was evaluated using the anterior offset alpha (α) angle and head-neck offset ratio (HNOR). RESULTS The average α angle and HNOR significantly improved from 76.2° to 51.3° and 0.086 to 0.135, respectively; 25 hips (36.2%) still had an α angle greater than 50°, and 32 hips (46.4%) had an HNOR of under 0.145. A multivariate analysis selected age at onset and slip angle as risk factors for cam deformity, with cutoff values 11.1 years and 21.0°, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Although most hips had remodelling of the head-neck junction, 29.4 % had residual cam deformities that may be susceptible to femoroacetabular impingement.

A local reference frame for describing the proximal human femur: application in clinical settings. Skeletal Radiol 2014; 43:323-9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The conventional reference frame for the femur has limited relevance for the planning of hip surgery as the femoral neck axis, a crucial reference for surgeons, has to be independently derived. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a reliable frame of reference for the proximal femur that can be applied in clinical settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten three-dimensional models of femurs were obtained. An iterative method was developed to find the femoral neck axis (X-axis). A second axis was also created from the lesser trochanter to the piriformis fossa (LTPF). The origin was defined as the femoral head centre. The cross product of the neck and LTPF axes provided the Z-axis and the third axis (Y-axis) was perpendicular to the other two. Intra-/inter-investigator reliability was assessed on the ten femur models; ten times by one investigator and twice by three investigators respectively. The results were then compared with the conventional reference frame using landmarks on the distal femur. RESULTS The femoral neck and LTPF axes had mean intra-/inter-investigator angle differences of 0.5° (SD 0.4°) and 0.7° (SD 0.5°), and 0.8° (SD 0.5°) and 0.9° (SD 0.6°) respectively while the variations of the X-, Y- and Z- axes were SD 0.6°, 0.7° and 0.5°. CONCLUSIONS A reliable method of obtaining the three-dimensional proximal femoral frame was developed, using the femoral neck axis, with greater relevance to clinical settings, preoperative planning and accurate assessment of procedures post-operatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip resurfacing arthroplasty has some advantages, including improved metal-on-metal articulation, a lower dislocation rate and preserved femoral bone. This procedure is a surgical option for younger and more active patients with osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Although there have been some reports about the efficacy of this technique, others report serious complications caused by metal debris. Additionally, femoral neck preservation adversely decreases the head-neck ratio and results in postoperative impingement. METHODS We evaluated the range of motion after hip resurfacing with various component orientations and optimal component orientations to avoid postoperative impingement using computer simulations in 10 male patients with osteonecrosis. RESULTS The mean ranges of motion in flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and internal rotation at 90° of flexion were 92.4° ± 13.8°, 25.7° ± 13.8°, 38.0° ± 11.1°, 29.1° ± 10.0° and 20.9° ± 11.5°, respectively. The oscillation angle in flexion and extension motion was 118.1° ± 10.3°. More than 100° of flexion was acquired in 79 of 240 simulations (32.9 %), and more than 20° extension was acquired in 142 simulations (59.2 %). Combined anteversion was significantly correlated with maximal flexion and extension angles. The component safe zone to fulfill the range of motion criteria varied among patients, and 4 of 10 patients had no safe zone. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative impingement occurs relatively frequently in hip resurfacing because of preservation of the femoral neck and component malpositioning. The safe zone of the acetabular component to avoid postoperative impingement is very narrow. Greater care should be taken regarding patient selection, rigorous preoperative planning and accurate component positioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation remains common after total hip arthroplasty. Efforts have been made to identify and minimize risk factors. One such factor, jump distance, or the distance the femoral head must travel before dislocating, has been poorly characterized with respect to three-dimensional kinematics. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined: (1) the three-dimensional stability of four different component designs; (2) whether the degree of abduction and anteversion affects the stability; (3) whether pelvic inclination angles affected stability; and (4) which combination of these three factors had the greatest stability. METHODS We created a positionable three-dimensional model of a THA. Acetabular components were modeled in various abduction and anteversion angles and in two different pelvic inclinations which simulate standing and chair-rising activities. RESULTS The posterior horizontal dislocation distance increased as inclination angle and femoral head size increased. The 48-mm resurfacing typically had lower jump distances and was at risk of posterior edge loading at 30° inclination. The highest jump distance for all positions and activities occurred with the dual-mobility bearing. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that monoblock cups require extremely accurate positioning for low dislocation risk and that pelvic orientation may increase dislocation risks. CLINICAL RELEVANCE As a result of the dual-mobility designs having the greatest resistance to dislocation, these cups may be appropriate for patients who are at risk for dislocation in difficult primary situations and in revision hip arthroplasty procedures in which proper component orientation may be less likely to be achieved.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is commonly associated with early hip arthritis. We reviewed our series of 1300 hip resurfacing procedures. More than 90% of our male patients, with an average age of 53 years, had cam impingement lesions. In this condition, there are anterior femoral neck osteophytes, and a retroverted femoral head on a normally anteverted neck. It is postulated that FAI results in collision of the anterior neck of the femur against the rim of the acetabulum, causing damage to the acetabular labrum and articular cartilage, resulting in osteoarthritis. Early treatment of FAI involves arthroscopic or open removal of bone from the anterior femoral neck, as well as repair or removal of labral tears. However, once osteoarthritis has developed, hip replacement or hip resurfacing is indicated. Hip resurfacing can re-orient the head and re-shape the neck. This helps to restore normal biomechanics to the hip, eliminate FAI, and improve range of motion. Since many younger men with hip arthritis have FAI, and are also considered the best candidates for hip resurfacing, it is evident that resurfacing has a role in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Groin pain after metal on metal hip resurfacing has been previously reported. The purpose of this study was to determine the natural history of a cohort of patients with groin pain after hip resurfacing previously reported on and incidence of revision surgery. METHODS Our group previously reported an 18% incidence of groin pain at a mean of 18 months post hip resurfacing. This cohort of groin pain patients was prospectively followed. Patients were evaluated using a visual analog pain rating score, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Physical Activity Index, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index. Functional outcome scores were compared from initial to latest follow up using the paired Student's t test. Further diagnostic evaluation and/or intervention or other complication was also recorded. RESULTS The latest mean follow up from surgery was 63 ± 15 months. The mean pain rating, UCLA, and WOMAC scores all improved at latest follow up, although WOMAC score improvement was not statistically significant. Mean pain rating score improved from 5.2 ± 2.0 to 2.5 ± 1.4 (p = 0.0001). UCLA activity score improved from 6.4 ± 2.0 to 6.9 ± 1.6 (p = 0.03). Total WOMAC score improved from 75.6 ± 20.5 to 84.5 ± 14.8 (p = 0.15). Only one patient was revised for an adverse local tissue reaction. CONCLUSION Groin pain post hip resurfacing has a multifactorial etiology, and in the vast majority of cases improves over time with no significant functional limitations. However, the surgeon should be aware of the many potential causes, and help minimize the possibility with proper patient selection and surgical technique.

Abstract
In this prospective study a total of 80 consecutive Chinese patients with Crowe type I or II developmental dysplasia of the hip were randomly assigned for hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) or total hip replacement (THR). Three patients assigned to HRA were converted to THR, and three HRA patients and two THR patients were lost to follow-up. This left a total of 34 patients (37 hips) who underwent HRA and 38 (39 hips) who underwent THR. The mean follow-up was 59.4 months (52 to 70) in the HRA group and 60.6 months (50 to 72) in the THR group. There was no failure of the prosthesis in either group. Flexion of the hip was significantly better after HRA, but there was no difference in the mean post-operative Harris hip scores between the groups. The mean size of the acetabular component in the HRA group was significantly larger than in the THR group (49.5 mm vs 46.1 mm, p = 0.001). There was no difference in the mean abduction angle of the acetabular component between the two groups. Although the patients in this series had risk factors for failure after HRA, such as low body weight, small femoral heads and dysplasia, the clinical results of resurfacing in those with Crowe type I or II hip dysplasia were satisfactory. Patients in the HRA group had a better range of movement, although neck-cup impingement was observed. However, more acetabular bone was sacrificed in HRA patients, and it is unclear whether this will have an adverse effect in the long term.

Abstract
Clinical studies indicate that range of motion until prosthetic impingement is important in understanding unexplained failures of hip resurfacings, yet the underlying biomechanical principles have received little attention. This study investigates the mathematical relationships between component design, position, patient bone geometry and range of motion in hip resurfaced prostheses. Variations in range of motion and impingement-free safe-zones for cup position were calculated using an established method of vector analysis that facilitated parametric analysis in a time efficient manner. The alpha angle, defined as the angle between the centreline of the femoral neck and the waist of the femoral head/neck junction, was used to represent the natural femoral neck. Range of motion and impingement-free safe-zones were inversely proportional to the alpha angle and cup inclusion angle. The size of the safe-zone was most sensitive to the alpha angle with a 6 degrees reduction, decreasing the range of cup positions without impingement by 80-100%. Lowering the upper limit of cup inclination from 55 degrees to 45 degrees reduced the range of cup positions that allow impingement-free motion by 47-94%. No common safe-zone was observed for the range of component sizes and positions investigated. This offers an explanation to why clinic studies have failed to associate outcome with standardised positioning criteria.

Abstract
The accuracy of a commercial imageless navigation system for hip resurfacing and its reproducibility among different surgeons and for varying femoral anatomy was tested by comparing conventional and navigated implantation of the femoral component on different sawbones in a hip simulator. The position of the component was measured on postoperative radiographs. Variance for varus/valgus alignment and anteversion was higher for conventional implantation. Among the three surgeons, operation time, chosen implant size and anteversion were significantly different for conventional implantation but not for the navigated method. Using navigation, no difference was found for normal and abnormal anatomy. Values obtained with the navigation system were consistent with those measured on radiographs. Navigation appeared to be accurate and helped to reduce outliers. This was true for the three different surgeons and in varying anatomical situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Range of motion after hip arthroplasty may be limited by soft tissues around the hip, extra-articular contact and femoral stem-neck contact with the acetabular articular surface. Femoral head-neck diameter ratio is recognized as a major factor influencing hip range of motion. In hip resurfacing, range of motion is constrained by "cup component to femoral neck" contact. To avoid cup-to-bone contact or to increase the degree of flexion at which it occurs, anterior translation of the femoral component relative to the central femoral neck axis may improve anterior head-neck offset and hip flexion. We questioned whether low or high anterior femoral head to neck offset, cup inclination, stem anteversion, and component size influenced postoperative range of motion and hip flexion in patients who had undergone hip resurfacing. METHODS We prospectively followed 66 patients (68 hips) who underwent hip resurfacing at a mean age at operation of 46.4 years (range, 19-60 years). Mean follow-up was 37.5 months (range, 33-41 months). No patient was lost to follow-up. All patients were evaluated clinically and range of motion was precised. Radiological measurement evaluated the anterior femoral head-neck offset. FINDINGS Mean anterior neck-head offset was 7.5mm (range, 5-12 mm). We found significant linear regression correlation between anterior offset and flexion (R=0.66) and between anterior offset and global range of motion (R=0.51). One millimeter of anterior offset increased hip range of motion by 5° in flexion. No significant correlations were found between global range of motion or flexion arc of motion and component size, stem anteversion, cup inclination, gender ratio, preoperative arc of flexion or global range of motion. INTERPRETATION Restoring or improving deficient anterior femoral head-neck offset appears important for restoring postoperative range of motion and specifically hip flexion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular impingement has been postulated as the important cause of primary osteoarthritis in non dysplastic hips. We postulated that the rarity of primary osteoarthritis of hip in Indian population could be attributable to morphological differences, specifically to a lower prevalence of abnormal head-neck morphology. We conducted an anthropometric study to evaluate the prevalence of abnormal head-neck offset in Indian population and to correlate it with the low prevalence of primary osteoarthrosis in the Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The computed tomography (CT) images of 85 apparently normal hips were analysed. An axial image was created parallel to the central axis of the femoral neck and passing through the center of the femoral head using coronal scout view. This image was then used to calculate alpha and beta angles and the head-neck offset ratio. The measurements were made by two independent observers on two different occasions. RESULTS The prevalence of abnormal head-neck offset ratio was 11.7% and the mean alpha and beta angles were 45.6° and 40.6°, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficients for intra-observer and inter-observer agreement were, respectively, 0.84 and 0.80 for alpha angle, 0.80 and 0.77 for beta angle and 0.78 and 0.75 for head-neck offset ratio. The values were similar to those reported in the western population. CONCLUSION The differences in the prevalence of hip osteoarthritis in Indian and western populations are not attributable to variation in the prevalence of abnormal head-neck offset.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular cup impingement (FACI), defined as the presence of a bony spur or indentation at the femoral neck corresponding to the abutment site of metallic cup, was observed in 9 (11%) of the 84 hips with contemporary resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip. All FACIs occurred in men after a mean of 14 months (range, 8-24 months) postoperatively. Five patients had persistent groin pain if the hip was moved into flexion, abduction, and external rotation. One patient sustained a late-onset fracture through the femoral neck already weakened by postoperative change of osteonecrosis. Mean postoperative Harris hip score in the FACI group was poorer than that in the non-FACI group (P = .003). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed a significant association of FACI with a low acetabular cup inclination (odds ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.99; P = .046) and a high cup uncoverage ratio (odds ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.84; P = .045).

A comparison of leg length and femoral offset discrepancies in hip resurfacing, large head metal-on- metal and conventional total hip replacement: a case series. J Orthop Surg Res 2011; 6:65. [PMID: 22206621 PMCID: PMC3298517 DOI: 10.1186/1749-799x-6-65] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2011] [Accepted: 12/29/2011] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A discrepancy in leg length and femoral offset restoration is the leading cause of patient dissatisfaction in hip replacement surgery and has profound implications on patient quality of life. The aim of this study is to compare biomechanical hip reconstruction in hip resurfacing, large-diameter femoral head hip arthroplasty and conventional total hip replacement. METHOD Sixty patient's post-operative radiographs were reviewed; 20 patients had a hip resurfacing (HR), 20 patients had a Large Head Metal-on-metal (LHM) hip replacement and 20 patients had a conventional small head Total Hip Replacement (THR). The leg length and femoral offset of the operated and unoperated hips were measured and compared. RESULTS Hip resurfacing accurately restored hip biomechanics with no statistical difference in leg length (P = 0.07) or femoral offset (P = 0.95) between the operated and non-operative hips. Overall HR was superior for reducing femoral offset discrepancies where it had the smallest bilateral difference (-0.2%, P = 0.9). The traditional total hip replacement was least effective at restoring the hip anatomy. CONCLUSION The use of a larger-diameter femoral head in hip resurfacing does not fully account for the superior biomechanical restoration, as LHM did not restore femoral offset as accurately. We conclude that restoration of normal hip biomechanics is best achieved with hip resurfacing.

Abstract
Radiographic findings of femoroace tabular impingement in the contralateral asymptomatic hip of patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty because of primary osteoarthritis (n = 44) were compared with controls (n = 40). The centre-edge angle and caput-collum-diaphyseal angle were measured and the presence of crossover sign and a prominent ischial spine noted on anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis. The α-angle and offset ratio were measured on cross-table lateral radiographs of the hip. The centre-edge angle and offset ratio were significantly lower and the α-angle significantly higher in the study group compared with controls. While the number of cases with an abnormal centre-edge angle was similar in both groups, the numbers with an α-angle > 50° and the number with an offset ratio ≤ 15 were significantly higher in the study group. It was concluded that morphological anomalies associated with femoroacetabular impingement are seen more frequently in the asymptomatic contralateral hip of patients who have undergone hip replacement for primary osteoarthritis than in controls.

Abstract
Sport and total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been regarded by many as being mutually exclusive. The primary indication for hip arthroplasty has always been pain. With advances in the technology surrounding hip replacement surgery and increasing patient expectations of what THA can offer, there is a growing demand for hip replacement with the aim of returning to sporting activity. The aim of this review article is to report the advances in hip replacement surgery that aim to make the procedure more suitable for the sporting individual and to summarise the literature on the subject of returning to sports after THA.

Abstract
PURPOSE Determining the etiology of persistent groin pain after hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) can be very challenging, even for the experienced surgeon. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the use of hip arthroscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the painful hip following resurfacing arthroplasty. METHODS In the present paper, the indications for arthroscopy and the arthroscopic findings in 15 patients with persistent and incapacitating groin pain following HRA are described. In all patients, nonsurgical diagnostic investigations such as ultrasound and radiography, blood sample analysis, and technetium and leukocyte-labeled scanning were inconclusive so that a definite diagnosis could not be established. RESULTS In seven patients, synovial biopsies were taken arthroscopically to rule out metal sensitivity, low-grade infection, or excessive metal wear. A definite diagnosis from histological evaluation could be made in 5 out of the 7 patients. Five patients were clinical suspicious of iliopsoas tendinitis. Diagnostic arthroscopy and histological analysis of the synovial samples provided an alternative diagnosis in 2 out of the 5 patients. Three patients underwent femoral osteoplasty for impingement due to reduced anterior femoral offset with subsequent symptom relief. CONCLUSION Hip arthroscopy after HRA is a valuable diagnostic alternative to open procedures in case of persistent groin pain, when noninvasive investigations fail to explain the symptoms. Multiple tissue samples should always be taken for histological examination and culture, as they are crucial in the final identification of the origin of the complaints.

Abstract
This prospective study examined patient characteristics and radiographic findings for 89 subjects undergoing total hip resurfacing. Thirteen (14.6%) of 89 hips have required revision. Female sex, smaller implant size, and diagnosis of osteonecrosis were associated with lower device survival. No significant differences in acetabular cup angle and stem angle were observed between revised and nonrevised hips. Revision rates for the first 25 hips were 24% and 8% for the last 64 hips. Females accounted for 56% of subjects 1 to 25 and 23% of subjects 26 to 89. Despite representing only 33% of included subjects, females accounted for 62% of revision procedures. The lower device survival proportion in subjects 1 to 25 could not be attributed to acetabular or femoral component malpositioning and can likely be explained by a significantly higher proportion of females enrolled early in the study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical hip dislocation enables complete exposure of the hip joint for treatment of various hip disorders.There is limited information regarding the complications associated with this procedure. Our purpose is to report the incidence of complications associated with surgical dislocation of the hip in a large, multicenter patient cohort. METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis of patients who had undergone surgical hip dislocation was performed.Patients who had undergone a simultaneous osteotomy were excluded. Complications were recorded, with specific assessment for osteonecrosis, trochanteric nonunion, femoral neck fracture, nerve injury, heterotopic ossification, and thromboembolic disease. We graded complications with a validated classification scheme that includes five grades based on the treatment required to manage the complication and any long-term morbidity. With this classification, a Grade-I complication is one that requires no change in the routine postoperative course, Grade II requires a change in outpatient management, Grade III requires invasive surgical or radiologic management, Grade IV is associated with long-term morbidity or is life-threatening,and Grade V results in death. RESULTS The study included 334 hips in 302 patients seen at eight different North American centers. There were eighteen complications (5.4%) that were classified as Grade I (not clinically relevant and required no deviation from routine postoperative care). There were six complications (1.8%) classified as Grade II (treated on an outpatient basis or with close observation and resolved). There were nine complications (2.7%) classified as Grade III (treatable and resolved with surgery or inpatient management). There was one complication (0.3%) classified as Grade IV (resulting in a long-term deficit). A total of thirty hips had one or more complications, for an overall incidence of 9%. Excluding heterotopic ossification, the complication rate was sixteen (4.8%) of 334. CONCLUSIONS Surgical hip dislocation is a safe procedure with a low complication rate. Many of the complications were clinically unimportant heterotopic ossification. There were no cases of femoral head osteonecrosis or femoral neck fracture, and, with the exception of one sciatic neurapraxia that partially resolved, no other complication resulted in long-term morbidity.

Abstract
Surface arthroplasty simulations were generated using 3-dimensional computed tomographic scans from 61 consecutive patients presenting with idiopathic osteoarthritis to evaluate the change in femoral component positioning that would allow optimal alignment when resurfacing a cam-type deformity. Anatomical parameters were measured to quantify the influence of the deformity on the insertion technique of the femoral implant. A modified femoral head ratio was initially calculated from plain radiographs to define the severity of cam deformity in these patients. A severe deformity required more superior translation of the entry point and greater reaming depth to allow safe insertion with optimal implant alignment. This could be achieved while preserving the leg length, minimizing the component size, and maximizing the amount of host bone contact, although the horizontal femoral offset was reduced. These findings suggest that the femoral component can be safely inserted by modifying the surgical technique despite progressive deformity of the femoral head.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement is secondary to lack of concavity at the anterosuperior femoral head-neck junction, resulting in reduced femoral head-neck offset and femoral head asphericity. This morphologic deformity can be detected by MRI and plain radiographs and quantified using the alpha angle. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We evaluated the accuracy and reproducibility of plain radiography in the diagnosis of cam-type deformity. METHODS Sixty-eight patients (37 females, 31 males) with a mean age of 38 years (range, 17-60 years) were treated for intraarticular hip pathology with 43 hips having cam-type femoroacetabular impingement and 25 having isolated labral tears. All patients had alpha angle measurements made on plain radiographs (AP pelvis, crosstable lateral, Dunn view) and multiplanar MRI using an alpha angle of more than 50.5° as the gold standard. RESULTS The Dunn view had a sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 88%, positive predictive value of 93%, negative predictive value of 84%, and accuracy of 90% for diagnosing the cam deformity associated with femoroacetabular impingement. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the MRI and plain radiography values were 0.702, 0.552, and 0.349 for the Dunn, crosstable lateral, and AP views, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our observations validate the clinical use of the Dunn view in the evaluation of the femoral head-neck contour in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Groin pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total hip resurfacing arthroplasty can be troubling for patients and surgeons. Potential sources of pain include infection, loosening, metal hypersensitivity, or impingement of bony structures or the iliopsoas tendon. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We compared the rate of groin pain after THA or hip resurfacing using metal-on-metal to those of other bearing surfaces. METHODS We identified 347 (334 patients) primary total hip (n = 301) or resurfacing (n = 46) arthroplasties. Complete preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were available for 282 hips. We retrospectively reviewed the charts for the presence or absence of groin pain at a minimum of 1 year after surgery with a specific focus on etiologic factors. The minimum followup was 12 months (mean, 14 months; range 12 to 24 months). RESULTS The rate of groin pain was 7% (15 of 217 patients) after THA with conventional bearing surfaces, 15% (4 of 26 patients) with metal-on-metal THA and 18% (7 of 39 patients) with total hip resurfacing. Younger patients were more likely to report groin pain postoperatively and more likely to have metal-on-metal bearing surfaces. CONCLUSIONS Our data at short-term followup suggest increased rates of groin pain after metal-on-metal THA or resurfacing arthroplasty versus THA using polyethylene or ceramic bearing surfaces. The reasons are not clear but they appear to be associated with younger age. Potential factors include impingement, activity level and possibly higher expectations for patients receiving metal-on-metal bearing surfaces that may make those patients more likely to report postoperative pain.

Abstract
Background Hip surface replacement arthroplasty (SRA) can be an alternative for total hip arthroplasty. The short and long-term outcome of hip surface replacement arthroplasty mainly relies on the optimal size and position of the femoral component. This can be defined before surgery with pre-operative templating. Reproducing the optimal, templated femoral implant position during surgery relies on guide wire positioning devices in combination with visual inspection and experience of the surgeon. Another method of transferring the templated position into surgery is by navigation or Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS). Though CAS is documented to increase accurate placement particularly in case of normal hip anatomy, it requires bulky equipment that is not readily available in each centre. Methods A custom made neck jig device is presented as well as the results of a pilot study. The device is produced based on data pre-operatively acquired with CT-scan. The position of the guide wire is chosen as the anatomical axis of the femoral neck. Adjustments to the design of the jig are made based on the orthopedic surgeon's recommendations for the drill direction. The SRA jig is designed as a slightly more-than-hemispherical cage to fit the anterior part of the femoral head. The cage is connected to an anterior neck support. Four knifes are attached on the central arch of the cage. A drill guide cylinder is attached to the cage, thus allowing guide wire positioning as pre-operatively planned. Custom made devices were tested in 5 patients scheduled for total hip arthroplasty. The orthopedic surgeons reported the practical aspects of the use of the neck-jig device. The retrieved femoral heads were analyzed to assess the achieved drill place in mm deviation from the predefined location and orientation compared to the predefined orientation. Results The orthopedic surgeons rated the passive stability, full contact with neck portion of the jig and knife contact with femoral head, positive. There were no guide failures. The jig unique position and the number of steps required to put the guide in place were rated 1, while the complexity to put the guide into place was rated 1-2. In all five cases the guide wire was accurately positioned. Maximum angular deviation was 2.9° and maximum distance between insertion points was 2.1 mm. Conclusions Pilot testing of a custom made jig for use during SRA indicated that the device was (1) successfully applied and user friendly and (2) allowed for accurate guide wire placement according to the preoperative plan.

Abstract
Dislocation is a rare complication of hip resurfacing in young people. This is thought to be due to the stability imposed by a large-diameter head [Stulberg BN, Trier KK, Naughton M, et al. Results and Lessons Learned from a United States Hip Resurfacing Investigational Device Exemption Trial. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:21]. We report an isolated case 1 week post-Birmingham hip resurfacing in a 44-year-old man without any history of trauma or infection. We note that due to massive periacetabular and femoral neck osteophyte formation and loss of normal bony anatomical landmarks, the version of the acetabular component may have been slightly retroverted. Due to marked narrowing of the femoral neck and head proximally, a cone-shaped proximal femur was found and felt to be unsuitable for direct resurfacing without prior shortening to allow fitting of the appropriate-sized Birmingham hip resurfacing femoral component. This was done successfully, but resulted in slightly reduced femoral neck offset of approximately 10 mm, compared to the native hip. We suspect this reduced offset contributed significantly to the 2 dislocations. We recommend careful preoperative planning and case selection to avoid this complication in similar patients.

Abstract
The current study investigated the accuracy and reliability of hip resurfacing component selection based on digital preoperative templating. Four surgeons made a template of preoperative radiographs on 2 occasions for acetabular and femoral components in 50 randomly selected hip resurfacing patients. Component selection reliability was variable among surgeons (kappa = 0.16-0.73) and fair between surgeons (kappa = 0.23-0.32). The average percentage of agreement for the acetabular component was 47% (range, 32%-64%) and for the femoral component was 54% (range, 38%-70%). Surgeons tended to underestimate implant size if the correct implant was not chosen (acetabular, 29%; femoral, 32%). Selection of an undersized femoral component may lead to femoral neck notching or varus implant alignment. This study emphasizes the need for intraoperative verification of preoperative templating results to ensure optimal implant selection in hip resurfacing.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the factors affecting range of flexion after hip resurfacing. A total of 82 cases, operated by a single surgeon, were assessed at a mean of 43 months. The Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analysis for the acetabular cup software was used to measure socket orientation. Range of flexion had a moderate positive correlation with cup anteversion (R = 0.26, P = .017), weak but significant negative correlation with neck diameter (R = -0.23, P = .042), and none with anterior femoral head-neck offset. Using multivariate analysis that adjusted for age, sex, cup anteversion and inclination, head-neck offset ratio, head-neck ratio, and neck diameter, the only significant correlate of flexion was cup anteversion (P = .017). Care should be taken during cup placement to allow adequate anteversion to be maintained in Birmingham hip resurfacing because this can affect flexion range of motion.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement causes pain in the hip in young adults and may predispose to the development of osteoarthritis. Genetic factors are important in the aetiology of osteoarthritis of the hip and may have a role in that of femoroacetabular impingement. We compared 96 siblings of 64 patients treated for primary impingement with a spouse control group of 77 individuals. All the subjects were screened clinically and radiologically using a standardised protocol for the presence of cam and pincer deformities and osteoarthritis. The siblings of those patients with a cam deformity had a relative risk of 2.8 of having the same deformity (66 of 160 siblings hips versus 23 of 154 control hips, p < 0.00001). The siblings of those patients with a pincer deformity had a relative risk of 2.0 of having the same deformity (43 of 116 sibling hips versus 29 of 154 control hips, p = 0.001). Bilateral deformity occurred more often in the siblings (42 of 96 siblings versus 13 of 77 control subjects, relative risk 2.6, p = 0.0002). The prevalence of clinical features in those hips with abnormal morphology was also greater in the sibling group compared with the control group (41 of 109 sibling hips versus 7 of 46 control hips, relative risk 2.5, p = 0.007). In 11 sibling hips there was grade-2 osteoarthritis according to Kellgren and Lawrence versus none in the control group (p = 0.002). Genetic influences are important in the aetiology of primary femoroacetabular impingement. This risk appears to be manifested through not only abnormal joint morphology, but also through other factors which may modulate progression of the disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Patient demand and surgeon interest in hip resurfacing has recently increased, but surgeons in the United States are relatively inexperienced with this procedure. We determined the learning curve associated with hip resurfacing and compared the rate of early complications of the first 650 hip resurfacings between five experienced hip surgeons and a national safety survey database study we previously published, which included 89 surgeons and 537 hip resurfacings. Patient demographics and adverse events were recorded. Specific features on pre- and postoperative radiographs were measured in a blinded fashion by a single observer. There were 13 major complications (2.0%), which is 3.7 times lower than our national safety survey complication rate of 7.4%. All fractures occurred in the first 25 cases performed. The complication rate was higher for the first 25 procedures (5.6%) compared with the second 25 procedures (1.6%). For experienced hip surgeons, the learning curve for avoiding early complications was short, 25 cases or less. The learning curve for achieving the desired component positioning radiographically was much longer, 75 to 100 cases or more. If achieving some ideal component position proves important for long-term function and implant survival, improved instrumentation and surgical techniques would be necessary to shorten the learning curve.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing is offered as an alternative to traditional THA for the young and active adult with advanced osteoarthritis. However, patients undergoing hip resurfacing may be predisposed to persistent groin pain due to insufficient head/neck offset, an uncovered acetabular component, or both. We therefore determined the incidence of groin pain after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing, its impact on patient function, and possible risk factors contributing to groin pain. We evaluated 116 patients with a followup of at least 12 months after surgery (mean, 26 months; range, 12-61 months). The mean age was 48.8 years (range, 24.0-66.3 years), with 21 women (18%) and 95 men (82%). All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically and had a Harris hip score, WOMAC, UCLA Activity Rating Scale, and the RAND-36 General Health measure; they were specifically asked if they experienced groin pain currently or since their surgery. Although all patients had functional improvements postoperatively, 21 of 116 of the patients (18%) reported groin pain; 12 of these (10% of the total) stated the pain limited their activities of daily living and 11 (10%) required medication for pain. Female patients were at greater risk of having groin pain. Of the patients with groin pain, three patients had muscle atrophy with a joint effusion on CT; one of these patients had revision surgery for the pain. Patients with metal-on-metal resurfacing may have a higher incidence of pain than those with conventional THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) have a cam deformity, which may be quantified by measuring the alpha angle and anterior offset ratio (AOR). Knowledge of what constitutes a "normal" alpha angle and AOR is limited. We defined the reference intervals of these measurements from normal hips in the general population. PATIENTS AND METHODS 157 individuals from the general population were reviewed clinically and radiographically. 74 individuals with clinical evidence of hip disease or radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA) were excluded, leaving a study group of 83 individuals (mean age 46 (22-69) years, 44 females) with normal hips. The alpha angles and AORs were measured from cross-table lateral radiographs taken in 15 degrees internal rotation. A validation study consisting of a cadaver study and a measurement reliability study was also performed. RESULTS The mean alpha angle was 48 degrees in men and 47 degrees in women. The mean AOR was 0.19, the same in men and women. Thus, sexes were combined to derive 95% confidence intervals for the population mean alpha angle (46-49 degrees ) and AOR (0.18-0.20). The 95% reference interval for the alpha angle was 32-62 degrees degrees, and for the AOR it was 0.14-0.24. The validation study confirmed that these measurements were resistant to a reasonable degree of variation in positioning and that the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurements was good. INTERPRETATION These reference intervals indicate that clinically and radiographically normal hips may have alpha angles and AORs that have previously been considered "abnormal". The thresholds provided by this study will aid classification of individuals involved in longitudinal studies of FAI and OA, and may be of use to the practicing clinician in evaluating the young adult with hip pain.

Abstract
Valgus alignment of femoral resurfacing components has been advocated to reduce proximal femur loading and thus minimize the risk for femoral neck fractures. However, such reduction in loading may exacerbate undesirable stress shielding. This study examined the effect of extreme implant orientations (+/-15 degrees ) and stem canal overreaming on initial bone remodeling stimulus using finite element models. The changes in implant-cement interface stresses due to implant alignment were also evaluated. The valgus model showed increased initial bone resorption stimulus, which extended distally and peripherally around the femoral neck. The peak implant-cement interface shear stress for the varus model was 10.9 MPa, exceeding the interface shear strength. Overreaming of the stem canal eliminated distal tip loading, but proximal stress shielding was still unavoidable. These data show bone loading and interface fixation trends emanating from valgus and varus implant positions that will be of interest to practicing physicians.

Abstract
Although the posterior approach is the most commonly used for hip resurfacing, concerns remain in terms of risk of femoral neck fracture secondary to an osteonecrotic event. The purpose of this study was to look at the short-term results of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing done by the vascular-preserving surgical approach as developed by Ganz in 116 hip resurfacing arthroplasties performed in 106 patients (86 men, 20 women; mean age, 46.5 years; range, 19-62). At a mean follow-up of 38.3 months (range, 12-84), Harris Hip Scores improved significantly from 53.1 to 90.16 (P < .001). There were 10 nonunions (8.7%) and 21 hips (18.3%) requiring screw removal for painful bursitis. Two hips underwent conversion to total hip arthroplasty: one at 18 months for femoral loosening and one at 7 years for acetabular loosening. Although the trochanteric slide approach as developed by Ganz provides excellent exposure to the hip joint and preserves femoral head vascularity, it does carry some inherent morbidity in regard to the greater trochanter.

Abstract
The study purpose was to analyze current results of modern cementless femoral components in young patients having total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing. Twenty-two studies (n = 5907; hips = 6408) evaluating modern cementless THA in young patients and 15 studies evaluating hip resurfacing (n = 3002; hips = 3269) were included. Meta-analysis techniques were used to pool failure rates. The pooled failure rate for THA using femoral revision for mechanical failure as an end point was 1.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0%-1.7%) at a mean 8.4 years of follow-up. At a mean of 3.9 years of follow-up, the pooled mechanical failure rate of the femoral component for hip resurfacing was 2.6% (95% CI, 2.0-3.4). In conclusion, the enthusiasm for hip resurfacing should be tempered by these data. Longer follow-up and direct comparison trials are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumours occasionally occur after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and often lead to revision. Our aim was to determine the severity of this complication by assessing the outcome of revision in these circumstances and by comparing this with the outcome of other metal-on-metal hip resurfacing revisions as well as that of matched primary total hip replacements. We identified 53 hips which had undergone metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and required revision at a mean of 1.59 years (0.01 to 6.69) after operation. Of these, 16 were revised for pseudotumours, 21 for fracture and 16 for other reasons. These were matched by age, gender and diagnosis with 103 patients undergoing primary total hip replacement with the Exeter implant. At a mean follow-up of three years (0.8 to 7.2) the outcome of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing revision for pseudotumour was poor with a mean Oxford hip score of 20.9 (sd 9.3) and was significantly worse (p < 0.001) than the outcome for fracture with a mean Oxford hip score of 40.2 (sd 9.2) or that for other causes with a mean Oxford hip score of 37.8 (sd 9.4). The clinical outcome of revision for pseudotumour was also significantly worse (p < 0.001) than the outcome of matched primary total hip replacements. By contrast, the outcome for fracture and other causes was not significantly different from that of matched primary total hip replacements (p = 0.065). After revision for pseudotumour there were three cases of recurrent dislocation, three of palsy of the femoral nerve, one of stenosis of the femoral artery and two of loosening of the component. Five hips required further revision. In three of these there was evidence of recurrent pseudotumour, and one is currently awaiting further revision. The incidence of major complications after revision for pseudotumour (50%) was significantly higher (p = 0.018) than that after revision for other causes (14%). The outcome of revision for pseudotumour is poor and consideration should be given to early revision to limit the extent of the soft-tissue destruction. The outcome of resurfacing revision for other causes is good.

Abstract
Recent reports have demonstrated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a promising technique in detecting articular cartilage lesions of the hip joint. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MRI with gadolinium arthrography in detecting acetabular cartilage delamination in patients with pre-arthritic hip pain. 46 patients (48 hips) underwent surgical dislocation of the hip. Mean age was 38.8 (range 17-56). There were 26 males and 20 females. All patients had Magnetic Resonance Imaging with gadolinium arthrography (MRA) before undergoing open hip surgery where the acetabular cartilage was inspected. Acetabular cartilage delamination on MRA was seen on sagittal images as a linear intra-articular filling defect of low signal intensity >1mm in thickness on T1 weighted images and surrounded by contrast. On MRA all hips had a labral tear confirmed at surgery. At surgery 30 hips had evidence of acetabular cartilage delamination, 4 hips had ulceration and 14 had no articular cartilage damage. The majority of labral tears and cartilage damage were located in the antero-superior quadrant. The sensitivity and specificity of MRA detection of cartilage delamination confirmed at surgery were 97% and 84%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values of the MRA finding were 90% and 94%, respectively. The presence of the acetabular cartilage delamination represents an early stage of articular cartilage degeneration. When evaluating a young adult with hip pain, labral tears in association with cartilage delamination should be considered. MRA represents an effective diagnostic tool.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement is a cause of hip pain in adults and is potentially a precursor of osteoarthritis. Our aim in this study was to determine the prevalence of bilateral deformity in patients with symptomatic cam-type femoroacetabular impingement as well as the presence of associated acetabular abnormalities and hip pain. We included all patients aged 55 years or less seen by the senior author for hip pain, with at least one anteroposterior and lateral pelvic radiograph available. All patients with dysplasia and/or arthritis were excluded. A total of 113 patients with a symptomatic cam-impingement deformity of at least one hip was evaluated. There were 82 men and 31 women with a mean age of 37.9 years (16 to 55). Bilateral cam-type deformity was present in 88 patients (77.8%) while only 23 of those (26.1%) had bilateral hip pain. Painful hips had a statistically significant higher mean alpha angle than asymptomatic hips (69.9° vs 63.1°, p < 0.001). Hips with an alpha angle of more than 60° had an odds ratio of being painful of 2.59 (95% confidence interval 1.32 to 5.08, p = 0.006) compared with those with an alpha angle of less than 60°. Of the 201 hips with a cam-impingement deformity 42% (84) also had a pincer deformity. Most patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement had bilateral deformities and there was an associated acetabular deformity in 84 of 201 patients (42%). This information is important in order to define the natural history of these deformities, and to determine treatment.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has recently been recognized as a cause of hip pain, labral tears, and cartilage damage in young adults. We determined the sensitivity and specificity of bone scans in diagnosing FAI and describe its findings on nuclear imaging. We prospectively followed 25 patients with hip pain (four bilateral) of greater than 6 months' duration and a positive impingement sign (IS). All patients had plain radiographs and a three-phase bone scan followed by single-photon emission computed topographic (SPECT) images of both hips. We presumed patients had FAI if they had all three of the following findings: hip pain, positive IS, and diagnostic radiographs. Forty-six of the 50 hips had bony abnormalities on radiographs and 26 hips were diagnosed with FAI according to our criteria. Twenty-two of these 26 hips showed an increased uptake on SPECT representing true-positives. There were four false-positives, nine false-negatives, and 15 true-negatives. Sensitivity of bone SPECT was 84.7%, specificity 62.5%, positive predictive value 71%, and negative predictive value 78.9%. Focal uptake was localized to the superolateral acetabular rim and/or anterolateral femoral head-neck junction consistent with the reported intra-articular cartilage hip damage seen in FAI.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The optimal implant option for hip arthroplasty in the young, active patient remains controversial. There has been renewed interest for metal-on-metal hip resurfacing due to improved design and manufacturing of implants, better materials, enhanced implant fixation, theoretical advantages over conventional total hip arthroplasty, and recent Food and Drug Administration approval of two devices. Recent studies indicate satisfactory short- and midterm clinical results (1- to 10-year followup) with low complication rates, but there is a learning curve associated with this procedure, a more extensive surgical approach is necessary, and long-term results have yet to be determined. Proper patient selection may help avoid complications and improve patient outcomes. Patient selection criteria in the literature appear based predominantly on theoretical considerations without any consensus on stratifying patient risk. The most commonly reported complications encountered with hip resurfacing include femoral neck fracture, acetabular component loosening, metal hypersensitivity, dislocation, and nerve injury. At the time of clinical evaluation, patient age; gender; diagnosis; bone density, quality, and morphology; activity level; leg lengths; renal function; and metal hypersensitivity are important factors when considering a patient for hip resurfacing. Based on our review, we believe the best candidates for hip resurfacing are men under age 65 with osteoarthritis and relatively normal bony morphology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, prognostic study.
