Early Radiographic and Clinical Outcomes of an Additive-Manufactured Acetabular Component.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Additive manufacturing has recently gained popularity and is widely adopted in the orthopaedic industry. However, there is a paucity of literature on the radiographic and clinical outcomes of these relatively novel components. The aim of this study was to assess the 2-year clinical and radiographic outcomes of a specific additive-manufactured acetabular component in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Methods

We performed a retrospective review of 60 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with the use of the Stryker's TRIDENT II acetabular component. Evaluation of radiographs was performed at 6 weeks, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. Radiographs were evaluated for radiolucencies in Charnley and DeLee zones, signs of biologic fixation, and acetabular
