Abstract
Aims The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) was introduced in 1997 to address the needs of young active patients using a historically proven large-diameter metal-on-metal (MoM) bearing. A single designer surgeon's consecutive series of 130 patients (144 hips) was previously reported at five and ten years, reporting three and ten failures, respectively. The aim of this study was to extend the follow-up of this original cohort at 25 years. Methods The study extends the reporting on the first consecutive 144 resurfacing procedures in 130 patients for all indications. All operations were undertaken between August 1997 and May 1998. The mean age at operation was 52.1 years (SD 9.93; 17 to 76), and included 37 female patients (28.5%). Failure was defined as revision of either component for any reason. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed. Routine follow-up with serum metal ion levels, radiographs, and Oxford Hip Scores (OHSs) was undertaken. Results Overall implant survival was 83.50% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.79 to 0.90) at 25 years, and the number at risk was 79. Survival in male patients at 25 years was 89.5% (95% CI 0.83 to 0.96) compared to 66.9% for female patients (95% CI 0.51 to 0.83). Ten additional failures occurred in the period of ten to 25 years. These involved an adverse reaction to metal debris in four patients, a periprosthetic femoral neck fracture affecting five patients, and aseptic loosening in one patient. The median chromium levels were 49.50 nmol/l (interquartile range (IQR) 34 to 70), and the median cobalt serum levels were 42 nmol/l (IQR 24.50 to 71.25). The median OHS at last follow-up was 35 (IQR 10 to 48). During the 25-year study period, 29 patients died. Patient survival at 25 years was 75.10% (95% CI 0.67 to 0.83). Conclusion This study demonstrates that MoM hip resurfacing using the BHR provides a durable alternative to total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly in younger male patients with osteoarthritis wishing to maintain a high level of function. These results compare favourably to the best results for THAs.

Total Hip Replacement with a Fully Hydroxyapatite-Coated Shortened Stem: Five- to Thirteen-Year Follow-Up Results. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2657. [PMID: 38731186 PMCID: PMC11084338 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13092657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Shortened femoral stems aim to mimic the biomechanical performance of traditional stems while preserving more bone and minimizing soft tissue damage. Our objective is to assess the outcomes of patients treated with a shortened stem (Furlong Evolution, JRI Orthopaedics, Sheffield, UK) to analyze the implant's efficacy and survivorship. Methods: This retrospective observational study included all patients aged 18 to 70 undergoing uncemented shortened stem total hip replacement at Hospital del Mar between 2010 and 2018. Hip function and pain were assessed with the Merle d'Aubigné-Postel scale and visual analog scale, respectively. A radiographic analysis measured stem and cup orientation, leg length discrepancy, stem subsidence, and radiolucencies around the cup. Perioperative complications, prosthetic failures, and reoperations were documented. Results: A total of 109 patients (74 male, 35 female) of a mean age of 51.8 ± 8.8 years were included. The average follow-up was 91 ± 17.4 months. Radiographically, 71 (65.1%) of the stems had been inserted at the appropriate angulation (±3°), and 102 (93.6%) of the cups had been placed in the Lewinnek safety zone. Leg length discrepancy was observed in 19 (17.4%) cases. The mean Merle d'Aubigné-Postel score improved from 13.1 ± 1.39 preoperatively to 17.8 ± 0.49 at 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). Merle d'Aubigné-Postel subscales also reflected a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001). The mean pain score 12 months postoperatively was 0.52 ± 1.22, with 95.4% of patients declaring themselves satisfied or highly satisfied. The expected 13-year survival according to a Kaplan-Meier analysis was 100% in the absence of infection and 91.3% if revision for any cause is taken as a survival endpoint. Conclusions: The shortened stem under analysis provides excellent functional results and long-term survival rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increasing interest in the use of anatomical stems has developed as the prevalence of periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) continues to increase. The primary aim of this study was to determine the long-term survivorship and PPF rate of an anatomical femoral stem in a single UK centre. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2000 and 2002, 94 consecutive THAs were performed using the 170 mm Lubinus SP II anatomical femoral stem in our institution. Patient demographics, operative details and clinical outcomes were collected prospectively in an arthroplasty database. Patient records and national radiographic archives were reviewed finally at a mean of 21.5 years (SD 0.7) following surgery to identify occurrence of subsequent revision surgery, dislocation or periprosthetic fracture. RESULTS Mean patient age at surgery was 65.8 years (SD 12.5, 34-88 years). There were 48 women (51%). Osteoarthritis was the operative indication in 88 patients (94%). Analysis of all-cause THA failure demonstrated a survivorship of 98.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 98.0-99.3%) at 10 years and 96.7% (94.5-98.9%) at 21 years. The 20-year stem survival for aseptic loosening was 100% with no cases of significant lysis found (lucent line > 2 mm) and no stems required revision. Patient demographics did not appear to influence risk of revision (p > 0.05). There were 2 revisions in total (2 for acetabular loosening with original stems retained). There were no PPFs identified at mean 21.5 year follow-up and 5 dislocations (5%). CONCLUSIONS The Lubinus SP II 170 mm stem demonstrated excellent survivorship and negligible PPF rates over 20 years following primary THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hydroxyapatite-coated, triple-tapered, shorter-length stems with a medial collar have been reported with good results for a few years. We investigated whether contact between the medial collar and femoral neck affects clinical outcomes and changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients who have this type of stem in their total hip arthroplasty construct. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center study involving 62 patients scheduled for unilateral total hip arthroplasty using a hydroxyapatite-coated, triple-tapered, shorter-length stem who were followed for at least 1 year postoperatively. All patients had a Dorr type B femoral canal shape. Contact between the medial collar and the femoral neck was evaluated by computed tomography at the third postoperative month, and patients were classified into 2 groups. Postoperative clinical outcomes were investigated by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores; radiological evaluation included stem fixation, spot welds and cortical hypertrophy, postoperative 3-dimensional stem alignment, and periprosthetic BMD changes. RESULTS There were 51 patients in the Contact + group (collar and neck contact) and 11 in the Contact-group (no contact). There were no differences between the 2 groups in the improvement of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, stem fixation, occurrence of cortical hypertrophy, or 3-dimensional stem alignment. Radiolucent lines were present in zones 3, 4, and 5 in 6 patients (12%) in the Contact + group only, who had no statistical difference between the 2 groups. Bone mineral density (BMD) decreased most in zone 7 in both groups, with no difference between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The presence or absence of contact between the medial collar and femoral neck did not affect postoperative BMD changes or radiological or clinical results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level III.

Abstract
Short stem, uncemented femoral implants for hip arthroplasty are bone conserving achieving stability through initial metaphyseal press-fit and biological fixation. This study aimed to evaluate the survivorship, mid-term function and health related quality of life outcomes in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a fully hydroxyapatite coated straight short stem femoral component with up to 5 years follow-up. 668 patients were recruited to a multicentre study investigating the performance of the cementless Furlong Evolution® stem for THA. 137 patients withdrew at various time points. The mean follow-up was 49 months. Clinical (Harris Hip Score (HHS), radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures-Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D), were recorded pre-operatively and at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 3 year and 5 year follow ups. At 5-year follow-up, 12 patients underwent revision surgery, representing a cumulative revision rate of 1.8%. Median OHS, HHS and EQ5D scores improved significantly: OHS improved from a pre-operative median of 21 (IQR 14-26) to 47 (IQR 44-48) (p < 0.001). HHS improved from 52 (IQR 40-63) to 98 (IQR 92-100) (p < 0.001) and EQ5D improved from 70 (IQR 50-80) to 85 (IQR 75-95) (p < 0.001). This fully HA-coated straight short femoral stem implant demonstrated acceptable mid-term survivorship and delivered substantial improvements in function and quality of life after THA.

Biomechanical Behavior of an Hydroxyapatite-Coated Traditional Hip Stem and a Short One of Similar Design: Comparative Study Using Finite Element Analysis. Arthroplast Today 2021; 7:167-176.

Abstract
Background The objective is to compare, by the means of finite elements analysis, the biomechanical behavior of a conventional stem of proven performance with a short stem based on the same fixation principles. Methods A 3D femur was modeled from CT scan data, and real bone density measures were incorporated into it. Load stresses were applied to that bone in 3 different scenarios: without prosthesis, with the conventional stem, and with the short stem. Different bone loading patterns were compared by Gruen’s zones both visually and statistically using Welch’s test. Results The implantation of a stem generates a certain degree of stress shielding in the surrounding bone, but the pattern of the change is very similar in the compared stem models. Although there is statistical significance (P < 0.01) in the mean stress variation in most of the Gruen’s zones, the magnitude of the difference is always under 2 MPa (range: 0.01 – 1.74 MPa). Conclusions The bone loading patterns of the traditional stem and the short stem are very similar. Although there is no evidence of a link between biomechanics and clinical outcomes, our results may suggest that theoretical advantages of short stems can be exploited without the fear of altering bone loading patterns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study reports the long-term outcomes of a metaphyseal fit-and-fill cementless femoral component in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a follow-up of 15-19 years. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 376 consecutive THAs (345 patients), using a triple tapered stem performed between 2000 and 2003 with a view to assessing survivorship and radiological and functional outcomes. Images were assessed for initial alignment, terminal osteolysis, or subsidence, while clinical outcomes were assessed using the St Michael's Hip Score. RESULTS Forty-five (11.9%) hips were lost to follow-up, 20 (5.31%) had died before our 15-year cutoff follow-up, and 4 (1.06%) had declined follow-up early on, leaving 307 hips (81.64%, 276 patients) available for both clinical and radiological follow-up at a minimum of 15 years (range 15-19). The mean age at the time of operation was 49.6 years (range 19-71) and the cohort included 131 (42.67%) male and 145 (47.23%) female patients. Seven stems (2.28%) were revised: 4 due to periprosthetic fractures, 2 for periprosthetic joint infection, and 1 for adverse reaction to metal debris at the trunnion. The St Michael's Hip Score improved from 14.2 (range 9-23) preoperatively to 22.3 (range 13 to 25) at the last documented follow-up (P = .000). Kaplan-Meier survivorship with stem revision for any reason as the end point was 97.70%. Worst-case scenario Kaplan-Meier survivorship, where all lost to follow-up are considered as failures, was 85.3%. No stem was revised for aseptic loosening. CONCLUSION This triple tapered stem in THA shows excellent survivorship beyond a minimum of 15 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Revision of failed total hip arthroplasty (THA) presents great challenge to any orthopaedic surgeon especially in the presence of acetabular defects where the main goal is to achieve durable fixation of prosthetic components to bone which is the key to successful revision surgery. METHODS Seventeen patients (17 hips) with mean age of 52 (40-61) years had revision surgery for aseptic failure of Furlong hydroxyapatite-ceramic-coated (HAC) prosthesis using cementless jumbo cups. Patients were reviewed clinically and radiographically with mean follow-up of 3.5 years (2-6). No patient was lost to follow up. RESULTS All revised acetabular components showed polyethylene wear, severe metallosis, with acetabular defects IIB (4/17), and IIIA (13/17) according to Paprosky classification. The femoral component was well fixed in all cases but one patient had stem revision for femoral fracture mal-union. There was one early post-operative infection; there was no postoperative dislocation, sciatic nerve injury, periprosthetic fracture or deep venous thrombosis. At last follow-up, no progressive radiolucencies or acetabular migration was identified. The mean Harris hip score improved from 42 (24-59) pre-operatively to 85 (72-92). CONCLUSION Good clinical results and radiographic stability were obtained at short term follow up after acetabular revision using cementless jumbo cups, which justify its use in revision surgery even in the face of major acetabular defects. Furlong HAC femoral component gives excellent long-term survival in young and active patients with a survival rate of 94% at 18.6 years.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate the 7-year functional outcome and radiographic results of primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed with the uncemented Avenir stem. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2006 and October 2008, 100 consecutive primary hips in 92 patients were enrolled at 2 centres. The mean age at operation was 58.5 years (27-87 years). Mini-incision (50%) and standard approaches (50%) were used to implant 22 standard and 78 lateralised stems. RESULTS The 7-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate was 98.9% (95% CI, 92.9-99.8) with stem revision for any reason as endpoint. No stem related complications occurred. 1 stem revision was due to deep infection at 51 months post-op. We had 4 acetabular revisions. The mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) at 7 years follow-up was 93.1 points (60-100). Radiographic analysis showed 2 patients had non-progressive radiolucent lines and no patient had any signs of stem subsidence or loosening. CONCLUSION The 7-year implant survival and the functional outcomes for THA performed with the study device are excellent and were in line with those documented for comparable contemporary uncemented fully HA-coated stems. Longer term follow-up of this consecutive series needs to be performed.

Aims This study aimed to evaluate implant survival of reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) at medium-term follow-up. Patients and Methods A consecutive series of 1082 THAs in 982 patients with mean follow-up of 7.9 years (5 to 11.3) is presented. Mean age was 69.2 years (21 to 94). Of these, 194 (17.9%) were in patients under 60 years, 663 (61.3%) in female patients and 348 (32.2%) performed by a trainee. Head size was 28 mm in 953 hips (88.1%) or 32 mm in 129 hips (11.9%). Survival analysis was performed and subgroups compared using log rank tests. Results Ten-year survival (122 hips at risk) was 97.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 95.77 to 98.11) for all-cause revision. There was no difference in survival by age (p = 0.50), gender (p = 0.78), head size (p = 0.63) or surgeon grade (p = 0.36). No acetabular components underwent revision for aseptic loosening in the entire series. Four (0.4%) aseptic stem failures occurred early at a mean of 2.5 years (0.6 to 4.8) and were associated with age under 60 years (p = 0.015). There was no difference in survival by gender (p = 0.12), head size (p = 0.43) or surgeon grade (p = 0.77) for stem revision. Conclusion This is the largest reported study into reverse hybrid THA and it confirms successful outcomes, irrespective of age, gender, head size and surgeon grade.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was (i) to review the long-term outcome of cemented Charnley total hip replacements (THRs) performed by 1 surgeon (GH), 20 to 42 years ago, in patients ≥60 years, using both the Kaplan-Meier (KM) and the cumulative incidence (CI) methods, and (ii) to compare the estimations of the 2 statistical methods. METHODS We evaluated the outcome of 306 consecutive primary cemented THRs that were performed in 265 patients. The final clinical, radiographic assessment and satisfaction of living patients were also included. The survivorship was estimated with the use of KM and CI methods and the relative difference between their estimations was calculated. RESULTS Living patients' final clinical results were significantly improved in comparison with respective preoperative ones, and all the acetabular and 91% of femoral components considered as well fixed. 95% of these patients reported satisfaction. The risk of revision at 25 years, with revision for aseptic loosening for 1 or both components as the endpoint, with 21 hips at risk, assessed with KM analysis was 6.9% and with CI approach was 3.9%. The relative difference between KM and CI estimations was increasing during follow-up, reaching up to 76.8% at 25 years. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that fixation of implants with cement in older patients had satisfactory long-term results and can serve as a benchmark with which to compare newer fixation methods (hybrid and uncemented) and materials. However, KM method, in studies that include older population with long-term follow-up, may significantly overestimate the risk of revision and clinicians could consider using besides the cumulative incidence of competing risk method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) and titanium (Ti) have been the most popular materials employed for cementless implants. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiological results of a single stem design with both alloys at long-term follow-up. METHODS Two hundred consecutive uncemented stems implanted in 171 patients (100 Co-Cr and 100 Ti implants) between 1999 and 2002 were studied. Mean age of the patients was 60.9 years (range, 20-84). Clinical results were evaluated using the Harris hip score. The presence of thigh pain was also analyzed. Stem fixation was graded according to Engh criteria. Radiolucent lines, osteolysis, and stem subsidence were also analyzed. RESULTS At 15-year follow-up, no stems had been revised. Both groups showed similar clinical results with mean Harris hip score of 93.4 (Co-Cr) vs 93.9 (Ti). There was no difference in the rate of thigh pain (11 vs 8.3, respectively, P = .507). Radiolucent lines were more frequent in the Co-Cr group (63.6% vs 35.6%, P < .001). CONCLUSION Ti stems showed better osteointegration than Co-Cr stems, with a significantly lower incidence of radiolucent lines. However, this did not affect the clinical results or the appearance of thigh pain.

Abstract
Plant-derived cellulose scaffolds constitute a highly viable and interesting biomaterial. They retain a high flexibility in shape and structure, present the ability to tune surface biochemistry, display a high degree of biocompatibility, exhibit vascularization, and are widely available and easily produced. What is also immediately clear is that pre-existing cellulose structures in plants can also provide candidates for specific tissue engineering applications. Here, we report a new preparation and fabrication approach for producing large scale scaffolds with customizable macroscopic structures that support cell attachment and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. This new fabrication method significantly improves cell attachment compared to that in our previous work. Moreover, the materials remain highly biocompatible and retain vascularization properties in vivo. We present proof-of-concept studies that demonstrate how hydrogels can be temporarily or permanently cast onto the macroscopic scaffolds to create composite plant-derived cellulose biomaterials. This inverse molding approach allows us to provide temporary or permanent biochemical cues to invading cells in vitro. The development of a new-generation of rapidly and efficiently produced composite plant-derived biomaterials provides an important proof that such biomaterials have the potential for numerous applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
The effect of introducing cationic charge into phosphorylcholine (PC)-based polymers has been investigated in this study with a view to using these materials as coatings to improve bone formation and osseointegration at the bone-implant interface. PC-based polymers, which have been used in a variety of medical devices to improve biocompatibility, are associated with low protein adsorption resulting in reduced complement activation, inflammatory response and cell adhesion. However, in some applications, such as orthopaedics, good integration between the implant and bone is needed to allow the distribution of loading stresses and a bioactive response is required. It has previously been shown that the incorporation of cationic charge into PC-based polymers may increase protein adsorption that stimulates subsequent cell adhesion. In this paper, the effect of cationic charge in PC-based polymers on human osteoblasts (HObs) in vitro and the effect of these polymers on bone formation in the rat tibia was assessed. Increasing PC positive surface charge increased HOb cell adhesion and stimulated increased cell differentiation and the production of calcium phosphate deposits. However, when implanted in bone these materials were at best biotolerant, stimulating the production of fibrous tissue and areas of loosely associated matrix (LAM) around the implant. Their development, as formulated in this study, as bone interfacing implant coatings is therefore not warranted.

Abstract
AIMS We present a minimum 20-year follow-up study of 382 cemented Exeter Universal total hip arthroplasties (350 patients) operated on at a mean age of 66.3 years (17 to 94). PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients received the same design of femoral component, regardless of the original diagnosis. Previous surgery had been undertaken for 33 hips (8.6%). During the study period 218 patients with 236 hips (62%) died, 42 hips (11%) were revised and 110 hips (29%) in 96 patients were available for review. The acetabular components were varied and some designs are now obsolete, however they were all cemented. RESULTS With an endpoint of revision for aseptic loosening or lysis, survivorship of the stem at 22.8 years was 99.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 97.0 to 100). One stem was revised 21 years post-operatively in a patient with Gaucher's disease and proximal femoral osteolysis. Survivorship with aseptic loosening or lysis of the acetabular component or stem as the endpoint at 22.8 years was 89.3% (95% CI 84.8 to 93.8). With an endpoint of revision for any reason, overall survivorship was 82.9% (95% CI 77.4 to 88.4) at 22.8 years. Radiological review showed excellent preservation of bone stock at 20 to 25 years, and no impending failures of the stem. CONCLUSION The Exeter femoral stem continues to perform well beyond 20 years.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the durability of a non-cemented, hemispherical rim-fit, hydroxyapatite coated cup with a highly cross-linked polyethylene in 223 total hip arthroplasties. At 6-years follow-up (range, 5-9), there were no cup revisions for osteolysis or loosening. Radiologic evidence of osseointegration was based on presence of Stress Induced Reactive Cancellous Bone and radial trabeculae, seen in 47% and 93% of cups, respectively; both were most prevalent in Zone 1. There was no interference demarcation in any zones. Two cups were revised (0.9%): one for dislocation and another for infection. The Kaplan-Meier survivorship for cup revision for any failure (infection, dislocation) was 99% and for mechanical failure (osteolysis, loosening) was 100%. This design has excellent safety, efficacy and durability.

Abstract
We present the outcome of 241 consecutive low friction arthroplasties (LFAs) performed by one surgeon (GH) 30 to 40 years ago. The overall survival rate at 30 years with revision for any reason or removal of the components as the end point was 53% (43.2-62.8%) when 40 hips remained in the study. Cox regression analysis for the possible risk factors of age, gender and diagnosis revealed higher risk of the overall failure in younger patients, and higher risk of failure due to loosening in younger patients and in those with congenital hip disease. Our follow-up study at 30 to 40 years following Charnley LFA can be used as a benchmark for comparison with the newer methods of total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
This study reports the results of 38 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in 33 patients aged < 50 years, using the JRI Furlong hydroxyapatite ceramic (HAC)-coated femoral component. This represents an update of previous reports of the same cohort at ten and 16 years, which were reported in 2004 and 2009, respectively. We describe the survival, radiological and functional outcomes at a mean follow-up of 21 years (17 to 25). Of the surviving 34 THAs, one underwent femoral revision for peri-prosthetic fracture after 21 years, and one patient (one hip) was lost to follow-up. Using aseptic loosening as the end-point, 12 hips (31.5%) needed acetabular revision but none needed femoral revision, demonstrating 100% survival (95% confidence interval 89 to 100). In young patients with high demands, the Furlong HAC-coated femoral component gives excellent long-term results.

Abstract
Alterations in bone strain as a result of implantation may contribute towards periprosthetic bone density changes after total hip arthroplasty. Computational models provide full-field strain predictions in implant–bone constructs; however, these predictions should be verified using experimental models wherever it is possible. In this work, finite element predictions of surface strains in intact and implanted composite femurs were verified using digital image correlation. Relationships were sought between post-implantation strain states across seven defined Gruen zones and clinically observed longer-term bone density changes. Computational predictions of strain distributions in intact and implanted femurs were compared to digital image correlation measurements in two regions of interest. Regression analyses indicated a strong linear correlation between measurements and predictions (R = 0.927 intact, 0.926 implanted) with low standard error (standard error = 38 µε intact, 26 µε implanted). Pre- to post-operative changes in measured and predicted surface strains were found to relate qualitatively to clinically observed volumetric bone density changes across seven Gruen zones: marked proximal bone density loss corresponded with a 50%−64% drop in surface strain, and slight distal density changes corresponded with 4%−14% strain increase. These results support the use of digital image correlation as a pre-clinical tool for predicting post-implantation strain shielding, indicative of long-term bone adaptations.

Abstract
The shape and geometry of femoral implant influence implant-induced periprosthetic bone resorption and implant-bone interface stresses, which are potential causes of aseptic loosening in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). Development of a shape optimization scheme is necessary to achieve a trade-off between these two conflicting objectives. The objective of this study was to develop a novel multi-objective custom-based shape optimization scheme for cementless femoral implant by integrating finite element (FE) analysis and a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA). The FE model of a proximal femur was based on a subject-specific CT-scan dataset. Eighteen parameters describing the nature of four key sections of the implant were identified as design variables. Two objective functions, one based on implant-bone interface failure criterion, and the other based on resorbed proximal bone mass fraction (BMF), were formulated. The results predicted by the two objective functions were found to be contradictory; a reduction in the proximal bone resorption was accompanied by a greater chance of interface failure. The resorbed proximal BMF was found to be between 23% and 27% for the trade-off geometries as compared to ∼39% for a generic implant. Moreover, the overall chances of interface failure have been minimized for the optimal designs, compared to the generic implant. The adaptive bone remodeling was also found to be minimal for the optimally designed implants and, further with remodeling, the chances of interface debonding increased only marginally.
