A 30-Year Single-center Experience of Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty With Spongy Metal Structured Implants: A Follow-up of a Previous Report.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aim

The aim of this study was to analyze survivorship and functional outcome of cementless spongy metal structured total hip arthroplasty (THA) after ultra-long-term follow-up.

Patients and methods

A total of 100 THAs in patients under 65 years at initial surgery were performed between 1985 and 1989 at our Department. Twenty patients (23 hips) were available for final follow-up. Implant survivorship and functional results (Merle d'Aubigné, SF-12) were assessed.

Results

At a mean follow-up of 30 years (range=27.7-31.7 years), the overall stem survival rate was 82.6% (19/23 stems) and the overall cup survival rate was 52.2% (12/23 cups). Revision surgeries were performed for aseptic loosening in all cases. Functional evaluation revealed good to excellent results in 16 patients (80%) Conclusion: Spongy metal structured cementless THA provides remarkable survivorship and excellent functional results even after ultra-long-term follow-up. Further research regarding modern implants, bearing surfaces etc. is required to assess survivorship and clinical outcomes of different implant designs.

Project description:Background and purpose - The use of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients is debated because of increased risk of early periprosthetic femoral fractures. However, cemented femoral components carry a risk of bone cement implantation syndrome. Hence, we compared in-hospital complications, complications leading to readmission and mortality ≤ 30 days postoperatively between hybrid/cemented (cemented femoral component) vs. cementless THA in osteoarthritis patients > 70 years.Patients and methods - This is a prospective observational cohort study in 9 centers from January 2010 to August 2017. We used 30-day follow-up from the Danish National Patient Registry, patient records, and data from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register. Only THAs performed as a result of osteoarthritis were included.Results - 3,368 (42%) of the THAs were cemented/hybrid and 4,728 (58%) cementless. The in-hospital complication risk was 7.7% after cemented/hybrid vs. 5.3% after cementless THA (< 0.001), statistically not significant when adjusting for comorbidities (p = 0.1). There were similar risks of complications causing readmission (5.7% vs. 6.2%) and mortality ≤ 30 days (0.2% vs. 0.3%). 15 cases (0.4%) of pulmonary embolism (PE) were found after cemented/hybrid vs. 4 (0.1%) after cementless THA (p = 0.001); none occurred within 24 hours postoperatively. 2 of the PEs after cementless THA led to mortality. Cemented/hybrid THA remained significantly associated with risk of PE (RR 3.9, p = 0.02), when adjusting for comorbidities. BMI > 35 was associated with highest risk of PE (RR 5.7, p = 0.003). The risk of periprosthetic femoral fracture was 0.2% after cemented/hybrid vs. 1.5% after cementless THA (p < 0.001) and the risk of dislocations was 1.2% after cemented/hybrid THA vs. 1.8% after cementless THA (p = 0.04).Interpretation - The higher risk of PE after cemented/hybrid THA and higher risk of periprosthetic femoral fractures and dislocations after cementless THA highlights that both medically and surgically complications are related to fixation technique and have to be considered.

Project description:Mortality related to femoral neck fractures remains a challenging health issue, with a high mortality rate at 1 year of follow-up. Three modifiable factors appear to be under control of the surgeon: the choice of the implant, the use of cement and the timing before surgery. The aim of this research project was to study the impact on mortality each of these risk factors play during the management of femoral neck fractures. A large retrospective epidemiological study was performed using a national database of the public healthcare system. The inclusion criteria were patients who underwent joint replacement surgery after femoral neck fracture during the years 2015 to 2017. All data points were available for at least 2 years after the fracture. The primary outcome was mortality within 2 years following the surgery. We evaluated the association between mortality and the type of the implant hemiarthroplasty (HA) versus total hip arthroplasty (THA), cemented versus non cemented femoral stem as well as the timing from fracture to surgical procedure. A multivariate analysis was performed including age, gender, comorbidities/autonomy scores, social category, and obesity. We identified 96,184 patients who matched the inclusion criteria between 2015 and 2017. 64,106 (66%) patients underwent HA and 32,078 (33.4%) underwent THA. After multivariate analysis including age and comorbidities, patients who underwent surgery after 72 h intra-hospital had a higher risk of mortality: Hazard Ratio (HR) = 1.119 (1.056-1.185) p = 0.0001 compared to the group who underwent surgery within 24 h. THA was found to be a protective factor HR = 0.762 (0.731-0.795) p < 0.0001. The use of cement was correlated with higher mortality rate: HR = 1.107 (1.067-1.149) p < 0.0001. Three key points are highlighted by our study in the reduction of mortality related to femoral neck fracture: the use of hemiarthroplasty a surgery performed after 48 h and the use of cement for femoral stem fixation adversely affect mortality risk.
