Weight-shifting-based robot control system improves the weight-bearing rate and balance ability of the static standing position in hip osteoarthritis patients: a randomized controlled trial focusing on outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. PeerJ 2023; 11:e15397. [PMID: 37214101 PMCID: PMC10199675 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background After a total hip arthroplasty (THA), standing and walking balance are greatly affected in the early stages of recovery, so it is important to increase the weight-bearing amount (WBA) on the operated side. Sometimes, traditional treatments may not be enough to improve WBA and weight-bearing ratio (WBR) on the operated side in a satisfactory way. To solve this problem, we came up with a new weight-shifting-based robot control system called LOCOBOT. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) on a force-sensing board in rehabilitation after THA. The goal of this study was to find out how rehabilitation with the LOCOBOT affects the WBR and balance in a static standing position in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis (OA) who had a primary uncemented THA. Methods This randomized controlled trial included 20 patients diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade 3 or 4 hip OA on the operative side and K-L grade 0 normal hip on the nonoperative side. We used the minimization method for allocation and randomly assigned patients to either the LOCOBOT group or the control group. As a result, 10 patient seach were randomly assigned to the LOCOBOT and control groups. Both groups received 40 min of rehabilitation treatment. Out of the 40 min, the LOCOBOT group underwent treatment for 10 min with LOCOBOT. The control group performed COP-controlled exercises on a flat floor instead of using LOCOBOT for 10 of the 40 min. All theoutcome measures were performed pre-THA and 11.9 ± 1.6 days after THA (12 days after THA). The primary outcome measure included WBR in the static standing position. Results After12 days of THA, the LOCOBOT group exhibited significantly higher mean WBR and WBA (operated side) values than the control group. Furthermore, the LOCOBOT group exhibited significantly lower mean WBA (non-operated side) and outer diameter area (ODA) values than the control group. From pre-THA to 12 days after THA, the LOCOBOT group exhibited a significant improvement in mean WBR and WBA (operated side). Moreover, the mean WBA (non-operated side) and ODA significantly decreased. From pre-THA to 12 days after THA, the control group showed a significant increase in total trajectory length and ODA. Conclusions The most important finding of this study was that patients were able to perform the LOCOBOT exercise as early as the second day after THA, and that WBR and ODA significantly improved by the 12th day after THA. This result demonstrated that the LOCOBOT effectively improves WBR in a short period of time after THA and is a valuable system for enhancing balance ability. This expedites the acquisition of independence in activities of daily living after THA and may contribute to optimizing the effectiveness of medical care.

Midterm Results of a Contemporary, Porous-Coated Acetabular System in Patients Undergoing Primary Total Hip Replacement for Degenerative Hip Disease: A Prospective, Multicenter Study. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1862-1867. [PMID: 32229148 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.02.068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 02/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A contemporary, porous-coated acetabular implant designed for uncemented insertion was introduced in Europe and Australia in 2007. A similar previous acetabular system was found in several studies at 10 to 15-year follow-up to demonstrate accelerated polyethylene wear, osteolysis, and early failure. The current study was conducted to determine the midterm safety and effectiveness of this contemporary acetabular system using highly crosslinked polyethylene and ceramic liners at 5-year follow-up. METHODS A prospective, nonrandomized study was conducted at 8 sites in Canada and the United States. All 148 study participants received a contemporary acetabular shell with proprietary porous coating. The primary outcome was the requirement for revision surgery at 5 years postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included a survival analysis, patient-reported outcome measures, radiographic failure, and postoperative adverse events. RESULTS At 5-year follow-up there was 1 cup revised for deep infection. No cups were revised for loosening and none were found to be radiographically loose. The overall survival rate with reoperation for any reason was 97.1%. The success rate was 96.8% for polyethylene and 100% for ceramic with no difference in the success rate between either bearing surface (P = 1.0). The mean patient-reported outcome measures all improved significantly between preoperative and 5-year postoperative scores (P < .001). CONCLUSION Results from this 5-year, multicenter, prospective study indicate excellent survivorship for this acetabular system when used with crosslinked polyethylene or ceramic bearing surfaces.

Abstract
AIMS We report on the outcome of the Synergy cementless femoral stem with a minimum follow-up of 15 years (15 to 17). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of a consecutive series of 112 routine primary cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in 102 patients (112 hips). There were 60 female and 42 male patients with a mean age of 61 years (18 to 82) at the time of surgery. A total of 78 hips in the 69 patients remain in situ; nine hips in eight patients died before 15 years, and 16 hips in 16 patients were revised. Clinical outcome scores and radiographs were available for 94 hips in 85 patients. RESULTS In all, four stems were revised. One stem was revised for aseptic loosening; two stems because of deep infection; and one because of periprosthetic femoral fracture. There was a significant improvement in all components of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score at the final follow-up (total: p < 0.001, pain: p < 0.001, stiffness: p < 0.001, function: p < 0.001). The mean Harris Hip Scores improved from 47 points (27 to 59) pre-operatively to 89 points (65 to 100) at the latest follow-up (p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survivorship, with stem revision for aseptic loosening as the endpoint, was 98.9% at 15 years (95% confidence interval (CI) 96.9 to 100, number at risk at 15 years: 90) and with stem revision for any reason was 95.7% (95% CI 91.7 to 99.8, number at risk at 15 years: 90). CONCLUSION The Synergy cementless femoral stem demonstrates excellent survivorship and functional outcomes at 15 years. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:29-36.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is understood that backside damage occurs in polyethylene acetabular liners, the effect of highly crosslinked polyethylene, which has completely replaced conventional polyethylene, has yet to be examined. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to answer the following questions: (1) With conventional polyethylene (CPE), did the acetabular design make a difference in backside wear? (2) Is there a difference in backside damage between CPE and crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) liners? (3) With XLPE, is the difference in backside wear between designs still present? (4) Is there any difference in backside damage in various zones on backside of individual liners? METHODS This single-institution retrieval analysis involved visual damage scoring on the backside of 233 polyethylene liners implanted between 2002 and 2011. The liners were retrieved from either polished/dovetail cups (PD) or roughened/wire cups (RW) made by two different manufacturers. The inserts were divided into four groups: PD-CPE (n = 105), PD-XLPE (n = 16), RW-CPE (n = 99), and RW-XLPE (n = 13). Aseptic loosening and polyethylene wear were the predominant reasons for revision of CPE liners, whereas instability and infection were the common reasons for revision of XLPE liners. The time in situ (TIS) was shorter for the XLPE liners as compared with the CPE liners (PD-CPE: 8.5 years [SD 4.4]; RD-CPE: 9.5 [SD 4.8]; PD-CPE: 3.8 [SD 3.7]; RD-XLPE: 4.0 [SD 4.3]). The backside of each liner was divided into five zones and graded initially from a scale of 0 to 3 for seven different damage modes by one observer. There was substantial interobserver (kappa 0.769) and intraobserver (0.736) reliability on repeat scoring. To compare the effects of crosslinking, a subset of the conventional polyethylene liners was matched to the crosslinked liners based on TIS, resulting in 16 per group for the two PD types and 13 per group for the two RW types. RESULTS Total damage scores in the RW-CPE (19 ± 7) group were greater (p < 0.001) than the PD-CPE group (8 ± 4). Damage was reduced with XLPE (p = 0.02) only for the RW-XLPE (9 ± 9) versus RW-CPE-type sockets (4 ± 4). There was no difference (p = 0.16) between the RW-XLPE group and the PD-XLPE group. Damage scores in the peripheral zone of the locking mechanisms were higher for RW-CPE (4 ± 3) compared with PD-CPE (1.4 ± 1.0, p < 0.001) and RW-XLPE (1.3 ± 1.3, p = 0.02). Damage was greater (p < 0.001) within the superior zones (7 ± 4) compared with the inferior zones (3.0 ± 2.8) of all liners. CONCLUSIONS The current study shows greater backside damage for CPE in the roughened, wire lock cups. XLPE was shown to be more resistant to backside damage for both socket designs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although the polished/dovetail cups seem to cause less backside damage in the CPE liners than roughened/wire cups, the use of XLPE liners has been shown to protect the liner from backside damage in either cup design. If an acetabular shell has a functional locking mechanism, surgeons should not worry about cup design when undertaking isolated liner revision using XLPE liners.

Abstract
Several new porous ingrowth surfaces for acetabular component fixation have recently been developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the in vivo fixation achieved by two different porosity ingrowth surfaces using radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Sixty-two patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to receive a cementless acetabular component with either a 61% high porosity asymmetric titanium porous surface (StikTite, Smith and Nephew, TN, USA) or a 45% low porosity sintered bead porous surface (Roughcoat, Smith and Nephew, TN, USA). RSA and clinical follow-up examinations were done post-operatively, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months, 1-year and 2-years. Both the high porosity StikTite and lower porosity Roughcoat surfaces provided excellent biologic fixation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Reflection® second-generation uncemented acetabular component was designed to address increased rates of failure observed with the early acetabular designs. However, the reported survivorship of this acetabular component has been conflicting. The aim of this study was to describe the ten to 15-year survivorship and polyethylene wear rate for the uncemented Reflection® acetabular component performed as part of a primary total hip replacement. METHODS One hundred and four consecutive Reflection® uncemented acetabular components in 97 patients were identified from a prospective arthroplasty database with a minimum of ten years of follow-up. No patient was lost to follow-up. Mean cohort age was 59.1 years. RESULTS There were 24 revisions of the acetabular component. The all-cause survival rate at ten years was 77.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 73.9-80.5]. Mean linear wear was 0.20 mm [standard deviation (SD) 0.08] per year and the volumetric wear was 106.2 mm(3) per year. At final follow-up, more than half the patients had osteolysis identified around the femoral component. The mean Oxford Hip Score was 35.6 (SD 9.8) at a mean follow-up of 11.9 years, with six (11.1%) excellent, 26 (48.1%) good, 17 (31.5%) fair and five (9.3%) poor outcomes. Despite the fact that more than a third had a fair or poor outcome, only four (7.4%) were not satisfied with their hip. CONCLUSIONS Due to the high rate of relatively asymptomatic polyethylene wear and osteolysis associated with this acetabular component, in our department, we now review all surviving patients both clinically and radiographically on an annual basis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a common pathology and involves forms of disability and need for treatments that affect the quality of life of patients and their families, and in general of the whole society. It should be considered as such degenerative joint disease is increasing as the increase in life expectancy and musculoskeletal trauma, the latter responsible for secondary forms of osteoarthritis. The treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip has changed a lot over the years, since the earlier diagnosis and, before, with prevention through proper lifestyle. More in-depth knowledge of the biology of the tissues involved, first of all hyaline cartilage, has lead to non-surgical treatments such as infiltration with hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) and autologous growth factors derived from platelets (platelet rich plasma). Surgical therapy with prosthetic replacement is finally a choice to share with the patient based on pain and functional limitation, bearing in mind always the best technology and tribology and the possibility of less invasive surgical access, while recognizing that there are not still eternal prosthesis. Of particular importance then is the age of the patient. There are also other types of surgery (hip arthroscopy, forage) for other pathologies of the hip which can be resolutive, or, in a sense, can delay the arrival to the prosthetic replacement. We will discuss below the decision-making process that leads the surgeon with the patient to the surgery option.

Abstract
The Reflection uncemented acetabular component (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tenn) for total hip arthroplasty is available in 2 geometric variants. The first has a completely hemispherical design; the second has a peripheral rim expansion designed to increase initial press fit and aid osseointegration. The clinical and radiologic outcomes of 527 consecutive primary total hip arthroplasties were reviewed to investigate the differences in component design. Of the components, 95.6% survived at 96 months with revision for aseptic loosening as the end point, with no significant difference between the 2 component designs. Eighty percent of hemispherical and 57% of peripherally expanded components were considered completely osseointegrated at final radiologic review. The midterm radiologic outcome of peripherally expanded acetabular components is inferior to that of a completely hemispherical design.

Abstract
The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the minimum 10-year outcomes and survivorship of the Reflection shell with a polished inner surface and an improved locking mechanism. Three hundred sixty-three total hip replacements with a mean follow-up of 11.6 years (range, 10.0-15.1) were evaluated. The mean Harris Hip and WOMAC scores at last follow-up were 87 and 77, respectively. Four cups were revised: 2 for infection and 2 for aseptic loosening. Thirteen cases underwent liner exchange for wear. Radiographic review of remaining cups identified 8.8% with identifiable peri-acetabular osteolysis and no cases of loosening. The overall 10- and 15-year Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 94% and 90% for the total hip arthroplasty system while the survivorship of the shell remained 99.4% at 15 years.

Abstract
Two series of cementless total hip arthroplasty with acetabular sockets of a threaded truncated cone design were compared regarding volumetric wear rates. The first series included all-polyethylene acetabular sockets of the type Endler (E-PE); in the second series, a nonmodular titanium metal-backed polyethylene (E-MB) socket with an identical outer shape to E-PE was implanted. Bearings were articulated with alumina 32-mm diameter ball heads. Ninety-five retrieved devices were examined with a modified fluid displacement method using dental self-polymerizing precision casts. The sockets had to be revised mainly because of wear-induced osteolysis: E-PE after 10.6 years on average and E-MB after 7.8 years (P = .002). Comparison with unused sockets showed mean wear rates of 63 mm(3)/y for E-PE and 120 mm(3)/y for E-MB (P = .0008). Increased contact stress and load deformation due to reduction of polyethylene thickness in E-MB compared to E-PE were identified as predominant reasons for higher wear rates.

Abstract
We reviewed 123 second-generation uncemented total hip replacements performed on 115 patients by a single surgeon between 1993 and 1994. The acetabular component used in all cases was a fully porous-coated threaded hemispheric titanium shell (T-Tap ST) with a calcium ion stearate-free, isostatically compression-moulded polyethylene liner. The titanium femoral component used was a Taperloc with a reduced distal stem. No patient was lost to follow-up. Complete clinical and radiological follow-up was obtained for all 123 hips at a mean of 14 years (12 to 16). One femoral component was revised after a fracture, and three acetabular components for aseptic loosening. No additional femoral or acetabular components were judged loose by radiological criteria. Mild proximal femoral osteolysis was identified in two hips and minor acetabular osteolysis was present in four. The mean rate of penetration of the femoral head was 0.036 mm/year (0.000 to 0.227). These findings suggest that refinements in component design may be associated with excellent long-term fixation in cementless primary total hip replacement.

Abstract
We report on a prospective series of 201 primary uncemented total hip arthroplasties with a Bicontact prosthesis at a mean follow-up of 12.9 years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 41 before surgery to 89 at final follow-up. Two femoral stems, one each for infection and fracture, and 12 cups were revised. The mean number of years to revision post-primary surgery was 8.7 years (six months to 16 years). The cumulative survival of the prosthesis was 95.42% for any cause at ten years and 93.57% at 12 years. Survivorship for aseptic loosening of the femoral stem was 100%. In our series, the Bicontact uncemented total hip arthroplasty stem without hydroxyapatite coating showed excellent survival and the cup survival was comparable to other leading series.

Abstract
Cementless acetabular fixation has demonstrated superior long-term durability in total hip replacement, but most series have studied implants with porous metal surfaces. We retrospectively evaluated the results of 100 consecutive patients undergoing total hip replacement where a non-porous Allofit component was used for primary press-fit fixation. This implant is titanium alloy, grit-blasted, with a macrostructure of forged teeth and has a biradial shape. A total of 81 patients (82 hips) were evaluated at final follow-up at a mean of 10.1 years (8.9 to 11.9). The Harris Hip Score improved from a mean 53 points (23 to 73) pre-operatively to a mean of 96 points (78 to 100) at final review. The osseointegration of all acetabular components was radiologically evaluated with no evidence of loosening. The survival rate with revision of the component as the endpoint was 97.5% (95% confidence interval 94 to 100) after 11.9 years. Radiolucency was found in one DeLee-Charnley zone in four acetabular components. None of the implants required revision for aseptic loosening. Two patients were treated for infection, one requiring a two-stage revision of the implant. One femoral stem was revised for osteolysis due to the production of metal wear debris, but the acetabular shell did not require revision. This study demonstrates that a non-porous titanium acetabular component with adjunct surface fixation offers an alternative to standard porous-coated implants.

Abstract
We reviewed the results at nine to 13 years of 125 total hip replacements in 113 patients using the monoblock uncemented Morscher press-fit acetabular component. The mean age at the time of operation was 56.9 years (36 to 74). The mean clinical follow-up was 11 years (9.7 to 13.5) and the mean radiological follow-up was 9.4 years (7.7 to 13.1). Three hips were revised, one immediately for instability, one for excessive wear and one for deep infection. No revisions were required for aseptic loosening. A total of eight hips (7.0%) had osteolytic lesions greater than 1 cm, in four around the acetabular component (3.5%). One required bone grafting behind a well-fixed implant. The mean wear rate was 0.11 mm/year (0.06 to 0.78) and was significantly higher in components with a steeper abduction angle. Kaplan-Meier survival curves at 13 years showed survival of 96.8% (95% confidence interval 90.2 to 99.0) for revision for any cause and of 95.7% (95% confidence interval 88.6 to 98.4) for any acetabular re-operation.
