Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) after primary total hip arthroplasty are increasing with the number of primary implants and aging population. Mortality has been reported up to 34% at 1-year. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and 1-year mortality, complication rate, and length of stay (LOS) in surgically managed hip PPFs. METHODS This was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from January 2008 to January 2021. A total of 282 surgically managed hip PPFs were identified. Mean age was 79 years (range, 42 to 106). Preoperative scores were analyzed through linear regression to identify significant association with mortality, complication and LOS. Receiver operating characteristic curve and Area Under the Curve (AUC) were generated to evaluate the quality of the models and the discriminatory ability of each clinical score. Significance was considered at P values < .05. RESULTS Mortality was 7.8% at 3-months and 15.7% at 1-year. Complication rate requiring surgery was 19.5% and mean LOS was 8.9 ± 7 days. The CFS was significantly associated with 3-month (odds ratio 2.23, P < .001) and 1-year mortality (odds ratio 2.01, P < .001). The receiver operating characteristic curve test for 1-year mortality showed a greater AUC for the CFS when compared with American Society for Anesthesiologists score and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (AUC 0.80 versus 0.68 versus 0.72, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Frailty is a syndrome with increased risk of mortality after surgically managed PPF. The CFS can be easily assessed at the time of admission and could be considered as a strong and reliable predictor of 1-year mortality with a greater AUC than the conventionally used American Society for Anesthesiologists score.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Choosing the most appropriate reconstruction method when addressing a cemented cup at hip revision surgery can be a difficult decision. The aim of this study is to look into the practice and results of retaining a well-fixed medial acetabular cement mantle while removing loose superolateral cement. This practice goes against a preconceived principle that if some of the cement is loose it must all be removed. So far, no significant series looking at this is available in the literature. METHODS We assessed a cohort of 27 patients in our institution where this practice was carried out and assessed their outcomes clinically and radiographically. RESULTS Of the 27 patients, 24 had follow-up ⩾2 years (2.9-17.8, mean 9.3 years). There was 1 subsequent revision for aseptic loosening at 11.9 years, 1 first-stage revision of both stem and cup for infection at 1 month, and 2 patients died without a 2-year review. 2 patients did not have radiographs available for review. 2 of the 22 patients with radiographs available had changes in lucent lines, which were not clinically significant. CONCLUSION Based on these results we conclude that retaining well-fixed medial cement during socket revision is a viable reconstruction option in carefully selected cases.

Abstract
Background Whether hip revision with a metaphyseal-fixation femoral stem component can restore the bone mass of the proximal femur remains unclear. The aims of this study were to identify whether the bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur increases following hip revision with a metaphyseal-fixation femoral stem and to identify the factors associated with BMD recovery. Methods This was a retrospective study involving 36 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty with a metaphyseal-diaphyseal fixation stem (standard length stem) and had indications for hip revision, which was performed with a proximal press-fit short-stem prosthesis for each patient. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to obtain, evaluate, and compare the BMD at baseline and one year and two years postoperatively. The proximal femur was divided into several independent areas according to the Gruen zone (Gruen 1 to Gruen 7 from the greater trochanter counterclockwise to the lesser trochanter). Logistic regression analyses were used to assess potential factors significantly associated with an increase in BMD. Results An increased BMD was obviously identified in the proximal femur. Two years after the surgery, the BMD of the Gruen 1, Gruen 2, Gruen 6, and Gruen 7 areas had increased by 22.6%, 12.6%, 16.2% and 24.2%, respectively, relative to baseline. Three independent risk factors associated with bone mineral density recovery were identified: age (OR=1.100, 95% CI=1.005-1.203, P=0.038), osteoporosis (OR=14.921, 95% CI=1.223-182.101, P=0.034) and fair to poor hip function (OR=13.142, 95% CI=1.024-168.582, P=0.048). Conclusion This study confirms that metaphyseal-fixation stem hip revision can indeed help restore bone mass in the proximal femur, especially in the Gruen 1, Gruen 2, Gruen 6 and Gruen 7 zones. It was also found that advanced age, osteoporosis, and fair to poor hip joint function were three important risk factors affecting the recovery of proximal femur bone mass after surgery. Trial Registration Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femorotomy is a commonly used technique during cementless stem removal but should be preferred in selective revision cases to prevent intraoperative femoral fracture associated with deteriorated clinical outcome. Our aim was to assess the risk factors for fracture or femorotomy and develop a predictive risk stratification score. METHODS A monocentric retrospective cohort including 202 patients was analyzed. Thirty six candidate prognostic factors were assessed. RESULTS The following independent predictors of fracture or femorotomy were identified: presence of a "bracket sign" (Odds Ratio [OR]: 10.857; 95% Confidence interval [CI]: 2.613-45.115; P = .001) defined as a distal spot weld between the surface of the implant and closest endosteum, bone contact in zone 2 (OR: 4.700; 95% CI: 1.827-12.089; P = .001), 6 (OR: 4.966; 95% CI: 1.823-13.530; P = .002), 12 (OR: 9.660; 95% CI: 3.715-25.116; P < .0001), 13 (OR: 2.958; 95% CI: 1.009-8.021; P = .033), and global hypertrophy (OR: 0.170; 95% CI: 0.036-0.806; P = .026). The prognostic score, named Femorotomy INcidence Numeric scoring system, had good performance and discriminability; the area under the curve of the model was 0.924 (95% CI: 0.878-0.969). CONCLUSION The only independent risk factors were those assessed on X-ray (eg, bracket sign, bone contact in zones 2, 6, 12, and 13), while global hypertrophy was protective. We noticed the importance of differentiating pedestals and "bracket signs"; the latter is an indicator of fixation of the stem. We developed a risk prediction score (Femorotomy INcidence Numeric score) of fracture or femorotomy that can be used as a companion tool to assess the risk for doing an early osteotomy of the femur.

Abstract
Background: Instability is a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The dual mobility cup (DMC) allows a reduction in the dislocation rate. The goal of this systematic review was to clarify the different uses and outcomes according to the indications of the cemented DMC (C-DMC). Methods: A systematic review was performed using the keywords "Cemented Dual Mobility Cup" or "Cemented Tripolar Cup" without a publication year limit. Of the 465 studies identified, only 56 were eligible for the study. Results: The overall number of C-DMC was 3452 in 3426 patients. The mean follow-up was 45.9 months (range 12-98.4). In most of the cases (74.5%) C-DMC was used in a revision setting. In 57.5% DMC was cemented directly into the bone, in 39.6% into an acetabular reinforcement and in 3.2% into a pre-existing cup. The overall dislocation rate was 2.9%. The most frequent postoperative complications were periprosthetic infections (2%); aseptic loosening (1.1%) and mechanical failure (0.5%). The overall revision rate was 4.4%. The average survival rate of C-DMC at the last follow-up was 93.5%. Conclusions: C-DMC represents an effective treatment option to limit the risk of dislocations and complications for both primary and revision surgery. C-DMC has good clinical outcomes and a low complication rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO) safely addresses femoral component removal during challenging revision total hip arthroplasty. However, no prior study has evaluated whether a difference in axial stability exists between ETO closure performed before (reconstitution) or after (scaffolding) canal preparation and stem impaction. We hypothesized that given the absence of clinical reports of outcome differences despite the wide use of both practices, no significant difference in the initial axial stability would exist between the 2 fixation techniques. METHODS ETOs were performed and repaired using the reconstitution technique for the 6 right-sided femora and the scaffolding technique for the six left-sided femora. The 195-mm long, 3.5°-tapered splined titanium monobloc stems were impacted into 6 matched pairs of human fresh cadaveric femora. Three beaded cables were placed in a standardized fashion on each specimen, 1 for prophylaxis against osteotomy propagation during reaming/impaction and 2 to close the ETO. Stepwise axial loading was performed to 2600 N or until failure, which was defined as subsidence >5 mm or femoral/cable fracture. RESULTS All specimens successfully resisted axial testing, with no stem in either ETO repair group subsiding >2 mm. The mean subsidence for the reconstitution group was 0.9 ± 0.4 mm, compared to 1.2 ± 0.5 mm for the scaffolding group (P = .2). CONCLUSION In this cadaveric model with satisfactory proximal bone stock, no difference existed between the reconstitution and scaffolding ETO repair techniques, and both provide sufficient immediate axial stability in a simulated revision total hip arthroplasty setting under physiologic loads.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two-stage reimplantation is an effective treatment for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Many factors are involved in the variable success of this procedure. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between patient risk factors, comorbidities, and the pathogen on reinfection rates following two-stage reimplantation. METHODS We evaluated 158 patients treated for PJI from 2008-2019. Only patients who had completed a two-stage exchange were included. Patient demographics, comorbidities, laboratory values, time-to-reimplantation, pathogen, antibiotic sensitivities, host status, and reinfection rates were assessed. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify correlation between risk factors and reinfection. A P-value < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS 31 patients experienced a reinfection (19.6%). There was a statistically significant association between infection with Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) and reinfection (P = .046). Patients with a reinfection also had a significantly greater median serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level (12.65 g/dL) at the time of diagnosis compared to patients without a reinfection (5.0 g/dL) (P = .010). Median Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) (56 in no re-infection and 69 in re-infection) and time-to-reimplantation (101 days in no reinfection and 141 days in reinfection) demonstrated a trend toward an association with re-infection but were not statistically significant (P = .055 and P = .054 respectively). CONCLUSION As the number of arthroplasties continue to rise, PJIs are increasing proportionately and represent a significant revision burden. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infection were strongly associated with failure of a two-stage reimplantation. While not statistically significant with our numbers, there were strong trends toward an association between elevated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), longer time-to-reimplantation, and reinfection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetabular reconstruction in the context of massive acetabular bone loss is challenging. In rare scenarios where the extent of bone loss precludes shell placement (cup-cage), reconstruction at our center consisted of a cage combined with highly porous metal augments. This study evaluates survivorship, complications, and functional outcomes using this technique. METHODS Patients with minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Baseline characteristics were collected. Preintervention and postintervention ambulatory scores were collected. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis for cage failure requiring revision surgery was conducted. Binomial regression analysis was performed to assess for correlation of aseptic cage failure with baseline characteristics. Preintervention and postintervention ambulatory aid requirements were compared. RESULTS A total of 41 patients were identified. Mean follow-up was 6.4 years (range 2.8-11.0). Four (9.8%) aseptic cage revisions were identified. Aseptic KM survival analysis was 87.4% (95% confidence interval 75.3-99.6) at 10 years. Aseptic KM survival was 45.0% versus 92.8% at 9 years (P = .14) for patients with vs without pelvic discontinuity. KM survival for all-cause failure was 61.6% (95% confidence interval 44.0-79.2) at 10 years. Binomial regression did not demonstrate correlation of cage failure with baseline characteristics. Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a significant reduction in ambulatory aide requirement after surgery (mean rank 11.47 vs 9.00, Z = -2.95, P = .003). CONCLUSION In scenarios of massive acetabular bone loss where a cup-cage is not a viable option, good survivorship free from aseptic cage failure can be expected at mid-term follow-up using an antiprotrusio cage combined with porous metal augments. Success requires extensive experience in revision surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases with preserved femoral metaphyseal bone, tapered proximally porous-coated "primary" femoral stems may be an option. The objective of this study was to compare outcomes of patients with Paprosky I or II femoral bone loss undergoing revision THA with either a primary metaphyseal-engaging cementless stem or a revision diaphyseal-engaging stem. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of 70 patients with Paprosky I or II femoral bone loss who underwent femoral revision. 35 patients who were revised using a primary cementless femoral stem were compared with 35 patients who underwent femoral revision using a revision diaphyseal-engaging stem. The groups were similar regarding age, gender, body mass index, and American Society of Anesthesiologists. Clinical and radiographic outcomes and complications were compared over an average follow-up of 2.9 years (SD 1.4). RESULTS Revision THA was most commonly performed for periprosthetic joint infection (N = 27, 38.6%). The groups were similar with regards to Paprosky femoral classification (P = .56), length of stay (P = .68), discharge disposition (P = .461), operative time (P = .20), and complications (P = .164). There were no significant differences between primary and revision femoral stem subsidence (0.12 vs. 0.75 mm, P = .18), leg length discrepancy (2.3 vs. 4.05 mm, P = .37), and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Jr (73.1 [SD 21.1] vs. 62.8 [SD 21.7], P = .088). No patient underwent additional revision surgery involving the femoral component. CONCLUSION Use of modern primary cementless femoral stems is a viable option for revision hip arthroplasty in the setting of preserved proximal femoral metaphyseal bone. Outcomes are not inferior to those of revision stems and offer potential benefits.

Abstract
AIMS One of the instruments in the orthopaedic surgeon's armamentarium to face the challenges associated with periprosthetic fracture around the stem of a hip replacement is the tapered, fluted, modular, titanium (TFMT) stem. Our aim was to study its clinical and radiological outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS During the period 2010-2016 86 patients (55 females; median age 78.2 years; mean BMI 26.3 kg/m2; median ASA classification 2) underwent 87 revisions for a Vancouver B periprosthetic fracture using a Stryker Restoration Cone-Conical stem. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 2.9 years no stem had to be revised and no case of stem fracture was found. Dislocation was the most common complication and occurred in 18% of patients. Other major complications were deep infection (n = 4), subsidence >5 mm (n = 7), and nonunion (n = 5). 3-month and 1-year mortality was 10% and 15% respectively and was strongly correlated with age, deep infection, and ASA classification. The median EQ-5D health state index at final follow-up was 0.78 and all patients were ambulatory. CONCLUSIONS The complication most commonly encountered was dislocation and can likely be prevented by the use of large heads, adequate reduction and fixation of the trochanteric area and restoration of the native anatomy. Contrary to previous concerns, fracture and subsidence of these modular stems do not appear to be a significant problem in this geriatric population.

Abstract
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has shown successful results, instability remains a major complication. In recent years, dual mobility cups (DMC) have gained interest among clinicians thanks to its low rate of dislocation and good clinical results. The main aim of this work was to describe the accuracy of data on DMC from national and regional joint registries (JRs) and the available worldwide literature. We identified topics on DMC among JRs to propose a new harmonized and standardized section for DMC with the aim to understand its surveillance over the time. We extracted survival and implant data for a separate analysis. After performing a critical exclusion process, nine joint registries were considered eligible and included for final synthesis; these were the results from the available worldwide data from Joints Registries (JRs). In our study, eight analysed JRs reported a slight increase in DMC use in the last decade. In all the JRs evaluated and the available articles, dislocation remains one of the main reasons for revision and re-revision in hip arthroplasties. DMC is considered a valid construct increasingly used worldwide in primary and revision THA with the primary aim of reducing dislocation rates. Annual reports from JRs collect heterogeneous and low-quality information about outcomes and surveillance of DMC, creating a burden for clinicians to extract comparable data from different JR. Longer follow-up and a systematic registering of DMCs with international registry harmonization are needed to monitor DMC outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term survival of metal-on-metal (MoM) prostheses and the development of adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) around these bearings are still unclear. Serum levels of cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) are used as a screening tool to anticipate failure in MoM bearings and detect ARMD. METHODS One hundred sixty primary large head MoM prostheses were followed up for 10 years. To estimate the revision risk, the cumulative incidence function (CIF) was used. Subdistribution hazard modeling was used to investigate the associations between cumulative incidence of revision for ARMD and Co levels, Cr levels, gender, age, head size, and cup inclination. Furthermore, the safe upper limits (SULs) for Co and Cr were determined. RESULTS Univariate analyses showed an increased risk in revision for ARMD in females (subdistribution hazard ratio [sdHR] 3.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-11.7, P = .049) and cup inclination angles over 45° (sdHR 4.70, 95% CI 1.63-13.58, P = .004). In addition, a higher last measured Co level (sdHR 1.05, 95% CI 1.03-1.07, P < .001) and last measured Cr level (sdHR 1.21, 95% CI 1.14-1.29, P < .001) were associated with a higher probability of revision for ARMD. We determined our bearing-specific SULs at 4.1 parts per billion (ppb) and 4.2 ppb for Co and Cr, respectively. CONCLUSION Guidelines regarding follow-up and surveillance should include a complete clinical assessment with bearing-specific SULs of serum metal ion levels. For the M2a-Magnum MoM bearing we advise an SUL for Co and Cr levels of 4.1 and 4.2 ppb, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the epidemiology of primary and revision arthroplasties of the hip and knee joint. METHODS This study compared the data on knee and hip arthroplasty procedures from 2 hospitals (primary and revision) conducted in two periods: the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland (from 4 March 2020 to 15 October 2020) and the corresponding period prior to the pandemic (from 4 March 2019 to 15 October 2019). We compared the epidemiological data, demographic data, and hospital stay duration data from these two periods. RESULTS Our analysis demonstrated that the total number of hip arthroplasties conducted in 2020 decreased by 26% in comparison with 2019. In the case of knee arthroplasties, the total number of procedures in the evaluated period in 2020 decreased by 44%. Our study also showed that the mean time of hospital stay for orthopedic patients following hip or knee arthroplasty was 22.87% shorter. The female-to-male patient ratio decreased between the analyzed periods, and this was 22.96% lower during the pandemic. CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic in these two hospitals in Poland led to reduced numbers of hip and knee replacement procedures, shorter hospital stays, and a decreased female-to-male patient ratio. The mean age of patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty remained unchanged during the national lockdown with respect to the pre-pandemic figure.

Abstract
The present research evaluated the course of cobalt and chromium in the blood and urine after the revision of metal-on-metal with a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty. Seven patients were enrolled for hip prosthesis revision owing to ascertained damage of the implant. Metals in the blood and urine were evaluated before and after the hip revision. The double measurement before the total hip revision revealed high levels of metal ions (on average, 88.1 µg/L of cobalt in the blood, 399.0 µg/g of creatinine cobalt in the urine, 46.8 µg/L of chromium in the blood, and 129.6 µg/g of creatinine chromium in the urine at the first measurements), with an increasing trend between the first and second dosage. Within a week after the hip revision, the levels of metal ions significantly decreased by approximately half. Four to six months after the operation, the cobalt levels were found near to the reference values, whereas the chromium levels reached 25% of the values measured before the revision. The revision of malfunctioning metal-on-metal implants produced a dramatic decrease of metal ions in biological fluids, although it did not completely rescue the chromium level.

Abstract
Background: we report the clinical outcomes for femoral revision total hip replacement (THR) using the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) interval. Methods: 149 patients (165 hips) with a mean age of 68.9 years (range, 33.2–91.0 years) and a mean follow-up of 4.2 years (1.1–8.9 years) were included. The indication for revision surgery was aseptic stem loosening in 131 (79.4%) hips, periprosthetic fracture in 29 (17.6%) hips, revision for stem malalignment in one (0.6%) hip, and prosthetic failure in four (2.4%) hips. Results: an endofemoral approach was used for 156 hips, and a Wagner transfemoral osteotomy was used for nine hips. An additional cup revision was done in 52 hips (uncemented cup: n = 29; cemented cup: n = 21; acetabular cage: n = 2). The overall complication rate was 14.5% (24 complications). Ten patients (10 hips) were revised (8 cups, 2 liners, 2 stems) with an average time to revision of 6 months (range, 3–23 months). The median preoperative Western Ontario McMasters Osteoarthritis Score (WOMAC) score was 52.5 (Inter Quartile Range (IQR): 33.3), which improved to 27.2 (IQR: 30) postoperatively (p < 0.01). Conclusion: use of the DAA achieved similar results when compared with other surgical approaches in terms of clinical outcomes and complications, including dislocation rate. These results suggest that femoral revision using the DAA interval can be a safe and reliable procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study quantified the effectiveness of contemporary and evidence-based standardized 2-stage treatment for periprosthetic hip infection. Findings illustrate potential limitations of criticisms of 2-stage protocols and potential consequences of adopting single-stage protocols before definitive data are available. METHODS Fifty-four consecutive hips treated with 2-stage resection and reimplantation were retrospectively reviewed. Standardized protocols were adhered to including implant resection, meticulous surgical debridement, antibiotic spacer, 6-week intravenous antibiotics, a 2-week drug holiday, and laboratory assessment of infection eradication before reimplantation. After reimplantation, patients were placed on prophylactic intravenous antibiotics until discharge and discharged on oral antibiotics for a minimum of 7 days until intraoperative cultures were final. Successful treatment was defined per Delphi-based International Multidisciplinary Consensus. RESULTS The overall treatment success rate was 95.7% (44 of 46 cases) with mean infection-free survivorship of 67.2 (range, 23.8-106.4) months. Success rates were 100% for early and acute hematogenous infections regardless of host type and 100% for chronic infections in uncompromised hosts. 95% (19/20) of chronic infections in compromised hosts and 83.3% (5/6) of chronic infections in significantly compromised hosts were successfully treated. About 4% of primary hips and 20% of revision hips required repeat debridement and spacer exchange after initial resection. No patients died because of treatment. CONCLUSION Details from this consecutive series of patients undergoing 2-stage treatment for hip infection suggest that some criticisms of 2-stage treatment as well as some arguments in support of single-stage treatment may be overstated. Promotion and uncritical adoption of single-stage treatment protocols are discouraged until further and more definitive data exist.

Abstract
The optimum treatment for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip with substantial bone defects remains controversial. A retrospective assessment was performed for 182 patients treated for PJI with a two-stage protocol from 2005 to 2015. Implant removal and debridement were followed by Girdlestone arthroplasty or spacer implantation. The results of the Girdlestone and spacer groups were compared. There were 71 cases that received spacers, and 111 Girdlestone procedures were performed. After the first stage, 26.37% of cultures were negative, and among patients with a detected pathogen, methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism (41.79%). Acetabular and femoral bone defects, according to the Paprosky classification, were more severe in the Girdlestone group (P<0.05). During the follow-up (mean, 5.95 years), the overall incidence of complications was 21.42%. The mean Harris hip score was significantly lower in the Girdlestone group (68.39 vs 77.79; P<0.0001). The infection recurrence rate reached 8.79%. Despite satisfactory infection control, the number of complications and poor functional outcomes associated with resection arthroplasty indicate the necessity for development of different approaches for patients with advanced bone loss.

Abstract
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are a cause of frequent implant failure in revision hip replacement surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the onset of early postoperative infections in patients who underwent hip surgery with cementless prostheses treated with an antibiotic loaded hydrogel on their surface, in addition to systemic prophylaxis, and compare them to a control group. The secondary objective was to evaluate the onset of any local and systemic adverse effects and interference with bone ingrowth processes and functional recovery. A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who underwent revision hip surgery by performing a 1:1 match between patients treated with an antibiotic hydrogel (ALH) and the control patients. The incidence of PJIs was assessed with a minimum of six months follow-up. Seventeen patients treated with the ALH were compared with 17 patients from the control group. No PJIs were reported in the ALH group versus the six cases encountered in the control group (p < 0.0001). No significant differences were reported with regard to prosthetic osseointegration and functional results, nor were there side effects in the ALH group. Despite the low sample size, the use of on-site prophylaxis with ALH has proven effective and safe in reducing the risk of PJIs in patients with a high risk for infections. Further studies are needed to validate these results in other implant-related surgeries.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the use of calcium sulphate (CS) beads in the management of knee and hip periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) in terms of outcomes, complications and re-infection rates. Methods: A search of NICE healthcare database advanced search (HDAS) was conducted from its year of inception to October 2019 with the keywords: “Calcium Sulphate Beads” or “Calcium Sulfate Beads” or “Antibiotics beads” or “Stimulan” and “Arthroplasty” or “Hip Replacement” or “Knee Replacement” and “Periprothetic joint infection” or “Debridement, Antibiotics and implant retention” or “Revision”. A quality assessment was performed using the NIH study Quality Assessment Tool for case series. Results: Out of relevant 74 articles, 5 articles met the inclusion criteria. Variable outcomes and success rates have been reported in most of the patients. A small number of wound discharges and heterotrophic ossification (HO) were reported, which are occasionally symptomatic. Hypercalcemia is identified as a potential risk with the use of CS beads especially with doses over 40 cc per operation. The influence of CS beads on reinfection rate is reported in 4 out of 5 articles. Due to the case-mix and heterogenicity of the patients involved and the causative microorganism reported as well as varied procedures are undertaken including one and two stages revision and Debridement, Antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR), the influence of CS beads varied from high success to poor outcome. The poor outcome is higher if the primary procedure for the management of hip and knee PJI is DAIR rather than full revision. Conclusions: The use of CS beads in the treatment of PJI is a useful technique in delivering high doses of antibiotics locally. A favourable outcome is reported when antibiotics loaded CS is used as an adjuvant to revision procedure for PJI in hip and knee arthroplasty compared to its use as an adjuvant to DAIR procedure. There has been an increase in complications when higher volumes of beads are used, especially in subcutaneous structures and in high-risk patients. Another possible theoretical and unreported complication of CS beads is accelerating the wear rate in the artificial joint due to the possibility of causing abrasion to the bearing surfaces. The current evidence is not enough to indicate the superiority of antibiotic-loaded CS beads as an adjuvant for the treatment of PJI in Hip and Knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment for recurrent dislocation of a total hip arthroplasty is surgical using varied techniques and technologies to reduce the chances of re-dislocation and re-revision. The goal of this study is to compare operative techniques to reduce re-dislocation and re-revision in revision hip arthroplasty due to recurrent dislocations. METHODS A retrospective study of revision hip arthroplasties done due to recurrent dislocation prior to 01 January 2014. Electronic physician and provincial health records were used to collect patients' initial and follow-up data. Treatment failure was defined as either aseptic re-revision or re-dislocation without revision. Time to event was considered as the re-revision date or the date of second dislocation when the latter endpoint was used. RESULTS Of 379 operations, 88 (23.2%) had aseptic repeat revision or recurrent dislocation. Of these: 66 (75.0%) due to dislocation with re-revision; 10 (11.4%) due to dislocation with no re-revision surgery; 5 (5.7%) due to aseptic loosening of components; 3 (3.4%) due to osteolysis; 3 (3.4%) due to pseudotumour; and 1 (1.1%) due to periprosthetic fracture. The following factors increase risk of failure: the use of augmented-liners (lipped, oblique and high-offset liners; HR = 1.68, 95% CI, 1.05-2.69), periprosthetic femur fracture (HR = 2.80, 95% CI, 1.39-8.21) and pelvic discontinuity (HR = 3.69, 95% CI, 1.66-8.21). Femur head sizes 36-40 mm are protective (HR = 0.54, 95% CI, 0.31-0.86). In abductor dysfunction the use of focal constrained liners decreases the risk of failure (HR = 0.13, 95% CI, 0.018-0.973). CONCLUSIONS Larger head sizes and focal constrained liners (abductors dysfunction) should be used and fully constrained liners and augmented-liners should be avoided in a revision hip arthroplasty due to recurrent dislocations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Identifying the source of pain is paramount for determining appropriate treatment and ensuring successful outcome in terms of management and relief of pain. The difficulty is that each surgeon has his or her own way of seeing the problem, and there is no consensus for the evaluation of these patients. The study hypothesis was that it is possible to find the cause of the pain in most cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients consulting for unexplained painful hip arthroplasty were included and followed a decision tree to assess the cause of the pain. The primary endpoint was the final diagnosis. Secondary endpoints were subgroup comparison between main causes and assessment of risk factors. RESULTS Two hundred one hips of 194 patients were included as unexplained painful hip arthroplasty 6 months postoperatively. Final diagnoses comprised periarticular pain in 53 cases (26.4%): 40 cases of trochanteric bursitis, 5 of iliopsoas tendinitis, 5 of abductor deficiency, 1 of ischial tuberosity tendinitis, and 2 of heterotopic ossification; projected pain in 49 (24.4%): 45 cases of back pain with or without neuropathy, 3 of knee osteoarthritis, and 1 of metabolic neuropathy; wear in 40 (19.9%), in the polyethylene liner; loosening in 20 (10.0%): loosening of the femoral component in 8 and that of the cup in 12; material problems in 17 (8.5%): trunnionosis in 13 and metallosis in metal-on-metal implants in 4; no diagnosis in 7 hips (3.5%); infection in 6 (3.0%), all chronic; instability without real dislocation in 3 (1.5%); misplacement in 3 (1.5%), all for leg-length discrepancy; fracture in 2 (1.0%): 1 of greater trochanter and 1 of ilio-ischiopubic ramus; complex regional pain syndrome in 1 (0.5%). DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this is the first study on the causes of painful hip arthroplasty in clinical practice, whether leading to revision or not. A systematic approach, including physical examination, radiographic assessment and laboratory studies, is needed to find the cause of the pain. It is important to understand the pain so that it can be treated appropriately. Revision surgery can sometimes help-but the worst thing is to make the patient worse. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE level 4, retrospective study.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of cemented polyethylene liner technique in hip revision. Methods Based on inclusion criteria, the clinical data of 26 patients who were undergone hip revision between January 2011 and December 2013, were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 14 cases were treated with isolated liner exchange (group A) and 12 cases were treated with cemented polyethylene liner technique (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, the time from primary total hip arthroplasty to revision, and the preoperative Harris score between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The post-operative Harris score and complications were compared between 2 groups, and X-ray findings of the hip joint were recorded to review the position of hip components. Results All patients were followed up 4.4-6.4 years (mean, 5.4 years). Except for two femoral fractures during the revision (1 in each group), there was no other complication in 2 groups. The hip pain relieved and the lame gait corrected in 2 groups. The hip's function of 2 groups improved gradually after operation, with a better Harris score at 3 months and the best at the last follow-up, compared with preoperative scores ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Harris score at difference time points after operation between 2 group ( P>0.05). X-ray films showed no dislocation, aseptic loosening, and other interface related complication. Conclusion For the cases without the chance to do change liner, cemented polyethylene liner technique has a good effectiveness. But restrict patient selection should be considered before hip revision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Freeze-dried and irradiated allograft bone (FIAB) is more easily impacted than fresh-frozen allograft bone (FAB), but has weaker incorporation efficiency. We combined FIAB with fresh autologous coagula to enhance donor-host incorporation after impaction during hip revision. METHODS Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were sacrificed for bone allograft harvesting, and nine male rats were subjected to ectopic bone allograft implantation. For each rat, the container on the left (study) side was filled with freeze-dried allograft bone powder and fresh autologous blood coagula, whereas the right (control) side was filled with freeze-dried allograft bone powder and physiological saline. The extent of angiogenesis (VEGFα) was investigated at postoperative weeks 1, 4, and 8. The deformability of the material was evaluated by performing a confined-impaction mechanical test. RESULTS At postoperative weeks 4 and 8, angiogenesis within FIAB on the left side was more pronounced than that on the right side. At postoperative week 1, the left side showed significantly higher VEGFα expression than that on the right side. The delta ratios of compression of the allografts were found to be influenced by bone height and impaction frequency, but not by stiffness or elastic modulus (EM). CONCLUSION Supplementation with fresh autologous coagula promoted angiogenesis within the FIABs. Moreover, FIABs were equivalent to FABs in terms of deformability.

Abstract
AIMS The National Joint Registry for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NJR) has extended its scope to report on hospital, surgeon and implant performance. Data linkage of the NJR to the London Implant Retrieval Centre (LIRC) has previously evaluated data quality for hip primary procedures, but did not assess revision records. METHODS We analysed metal-on-metal hip revision procedures performed between 2003 and 2013. A total of 69 929 revision procedures from the NJR and 929 revised pairs of components from the LIRC were included. RESULTS We were able to link 716 (77.1%) revision procedures on the NJR to the LIRC. This meant that 213 (22.9%) revision procedures at the LIRC could not be identified on the NJR. We found that 349 (37.6%) explants at the LIRC completed the full linkage process to both NJR primary and revision databases. Data completion was excellent (> 99.9%) for revision procedures reported to the NJR. DISCUSSION This study has shown that only approximately one third of retrieved components at the LIRC, contributed to survival curves on the NJR. We recommend prospective registry-retrieval linkage as a tool to feedback missing and erroneous data to the NJR and improve data quality. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Prospective Registry - retrieval linkage is a simple tool to evaluate and improve data quality on the NJR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluates the efficacy of closed-incision negative-pressure therapy (ciNPT) in decreasing wound complications and surgical site infections (SSIs) after revision hip and knee surgery. METHODS A retrospective quality improvement analysis of 138 consecutive revision hip and knee operations performed by a single surgeon over a 34-month period was performed. ciNPT was used selectively in higher-risk patients with multiple risk factors for SSIs over the last 15 months of the study period. Rates of wound complications, SSIs, and reoperation were compared with patients treated with a sterile antimicrobial dressing. RESULTS Antimicrobial dressings were used in 108 patients, whereas ciNPT was used in 30 patients. Patients treated with ciNPT developed fewer overall wound complications (6.7% vs 26.9%, P = .024) and fewer total SSIs (3.3% vs 18.5%, P = .045) than patients treated with antimicrobial dressings. In addition, there were trends toward a lower rate of superficial wound dehiscence (6.7% vs 19.4%, P = .163), fewer deep periprosthetic joint infections (0.0% vs 9.3%, P = .118), and fewer reoperations (3.3% vs 13.0%, P = .191) among patients treated with ciNPT. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that ciNPT may decrease wound complications and SSIs in patients undergoing revision hip and knee surgery.

Abstract
Introduction: Metal-on-metal hip articulations have been intensely debated after reports of adverse reactions and high failure rates. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the implant of a metal-on.metal total hip articulation (MOM THA) from a single manufacture in a two-center study. Materials and Methods: 108 CONSERVE® MOM THA were implanted in 92 patients between November 2005 and December 2010. Patients had at time of retrospective evaluation their journals reviewed for re-operations and adverse reactions. Results: 20 hips were re-operated (18.4%) at a mean follow up of 53 months. 4 pseudotumors were diagnosed at time of follow up but no substantiated link was made between adverse reactions and re-operations. Conclusion: The high re-operation rates found in this study raised concern about the usage of the MOM THA and subsequently lead to the termination of implantation of this MOM THA at the two orthopaedic departments.

Abstract
We investigated whether the indentation of bone cement spacers used in revision of infected joint arthroplasty with a MacDonald dissector increased the elution of antibiotic in vitro. A total of 24 cement discs containing either 0.17 g (0.88% w/w), 0.25 g (1.41% w/w), or 0.33 g (1.75% w/w) gentamicin of constant size were made. Of these, 12 were indented with the dissector. Each disc was immersed in ammonium acetate buffer in a sealed container, and fluid from each container was sampled at zero, one, three, six, 24, 48 and 72 hours and at one, and two weeks. The concentration of gentamicin in the fluid was analysed using high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The fluid sampled at 72 hours from the indented discs containing 0.17 g gentamicin (0.88% w/w) contained a mean of 113 mcg/ml (90.12 to 143.5) compared with 44.5 mcg/ml (44.02 to 44.90) in the fluid sampled from the plain discs (p = 0.012). In discs containing 0.33 g gentamicin (1.75% w/w), the concentration eluted from the indented discs at 72 hours was a mean of 316 mcg/ml (223 to 421) compared with a mean of 118 mcg/ml (100 to 140) from the plain discs (p < 0.001). At two weeks, these significant differences persisted. At nine weeks the indented discs eluted a greater concentration for all gentamicin doses, but the difference was only significant for the discs containing 0.17 g (0.88% w/w, p = 0.006). However if the area under the curve is taken as a measure of the total antibiotic eluted, the indented discs eluted more gentamicin than the plain discs for the 0.17 g (0.88% w/w, p = 0.031), the 0.25 g (1.41% w/w, p < 0.001) and the 0.33 g (1.75% w/w, p < 0.001) discs. When preparing antibiotic spacers for use in staged revision arthroplasty surgery we recommend indenting the spacer with a MacDonald dissector to increase the elution of antibiotic.

Abstract
Proximal femoral arthroplasty (PFA) is an established treatment modality following oncological resection. Increasingly, these prostheses are being used for non-neoplastic conditions such as fractures and bone loss associated with septic or aseptic loosening. We performed a systematic review of the literature to determine the failure rates, mortality rates and hip outcome scores when PFAs were used in non-neoplastic conditions. There were 14 studies with an average follow-up of 3.8 years (range 0-14 years) describing 356 PFAs. Re-operation for any reason occurred in 23.8% (85/356) of cases. The most common complications were dislocation (15.7%) and infection (7.6%). The mortality rate ranged from 0% to 40%. PFA provides an acceptable surgical solution when confronted with massive bone loss, but it has a high re-operation rate for dislocation and infection.

Abstract
We report the results of 58 hip resurfacing arthroplasties (HRA) revised by a single surgeon with an average of 5.2±2.6 years follow-up. The four most common causes for revision were acetabular component loosening, femoral neck fracture, femoral component loosening, and adverse wear related failure (AWRF). In 95% of cases (55/58), the revision bearing was a large metal-on-metal type including all seven AWRF cases; three cases were revised to ceramic-on-polyethylene. There were two repeat revisions due to acetabular component loosening. Revision of AWRF had an excellent outcome using limited debridement and a stable large metal bearing placed in the correct position. The only problematic group was the one revised for acetabular loosening in which 2/16 (6%) required repeat revision for failure of acetabular fixation.

Abstract
Radial impaction grafting (RIG) potentially improves the durability and reliability of cementing the femoral components in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this multicenter, prospective study, 88 revision THAs (87 patients) with RIG technique were performed. The average follow-up time was 7.0 years (range, 5.0-10.2). There were 14 femur fractures: 2 intraoperative, 5 within 3 months after surgery, and 7 later in the postoperative stage (range, 5-84 months). Sixteen patients were lost to follow-up and 20 died without stem re-revision. None of the patients have been re-revised for any reason during follow-up. Age was observed to be a significant factor for determining fracture risk. In conclusion, RIG can be considered a reliable surgical technique, especially for younger patients.
