Purpose

Short metaphyseal fitting femoral stems convey stress to proximal femur and have no distal fixation. They have advantages in that there is no thigh pain and no bone loss due to stress shielding, but there is a concern for weakened fixation. So the authors evaluated whether short metaphyseal fitting femoral stems, which have only metaphyseal and no diaphyseal fixation, can acquire sufficient stability.

Materials & methods

39 cases of 36 patients who undervent uncemented total hip arthroplasty with DePuy ProximaTM (Johnson & Johnson orthopaedics, New Milton, UK) short metaphyseal fitting femoral stems from August 2009 to September 2011 were retrospectively evaluated. There were 19 male and 20 female cases. The mean follow-up period was 35.8(21.8∼49.2) months. Harris hip scores, WOMAC scores, UCLA scores, and presence of femoral pain were evaluated to assess clinical outcome. Femoral radiolucency in coronal and sagittal views of the hip, femoral stem loosening, and displacement was measured to evaluate radiological outcome. Distance between femoral stem and cortical bone was also measured to assess the relationship with radiolucency and loosening according to degree of contact.

Purpose

Cementless cup with structural allograft is one of option for acetabular revision in the cases which has severe bone loss. This study was performed to verify that the structural allograft with cementless cup could be one of good options for revision of acetabular cup with severe bone defect and to verify that the allograft resorption affect the stability of cementless acetabular cup.

Materials and Methods

We reviewed 25 cases of 25 patients who underwent acetabular cup rvision using cementless porous coated hemispherical cup with structural allograft from May 1992 to July 2011 July 2011. There were nine males and sixteen females with an average age of 50.0 years. The average follow-up period was 76.7(28∼212) months. The clinical evaluation was performed using Harris Hip Score(HHS) and UCLA activity score. Radiologically, the degree of resorption of grafted bone, incorporation of allograft bone with normal bone, osteolysis and cup loosening were evaluated.

Purpose

There are some concerns about doing hip resurfacing arthroplasty in ONFH due to bone defect which can cause mechanical weakness of femoral component and highly active young age of patients which can cause high wear rate and failure rate. The purpose of this study is to verify the HRA is safe procedure in ONFH in the aspect of mechanical and biological issue.

Materials and Methods

Between December 1998 and May 2005, 185 hips of 169 patients underwent MoM HRA using Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System® at single center. 166 hips (26 hips of female, 140 hips of male) of 144 patients have been reviewed for at least 7 years after MoM HRA. Mean follow-up period was 101.8 (84–178) months. Their mean age at the time of operation was 37.7(16–67) years old. Clinically, Harris hip scores (HHS), UCLA activity scores and range of motion were evaluated. Radiologically, the extent of necrotic area in preoperative MRI and radiolucency around implants, narrowing of retained neck, impingement, stress shielding, and heterotopic ossification were evaluated in the serial anteroposterior and groin lateral radiographs of hip. Complications were defined as joint dislocation, infection, implant loosening, femoral neck fracture and pseudotumor. Failure was defined as revision arthroplasty due to the complications.

Purpose

In general, the amount and rate of linear wear are associated with femoral head size in the conventional UHMWPE acetabular liner. The smaller the femoral head, the higher the linear wear rate. The aim of this study is to verify the relationship between wear rate and femoral head size and the polyethylene cup thickness.

Materials and Methods

We conducted a retrospective review of all patients who had undergone primary cementless total hip arthroplasty using the conventional UHMWPE (HGP2) acetabular liner between July 1992 and December 2002. 128 hips (34 hips of female, 94 hips of male) of 64 patients who had 28 mm femoral head with different polyethylene acetabular linear thickness and 102 hips (41 hips of female, 61 hips of male) of 81 patients with 22 mm femoral head were included. Patients were assessed clinically and radiographically at postop 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and annually thereafter. Clinical assessment was performed using Harris Hip Score. Radiographic analysis included measurement of acetabular component position, polyethylene wear using a validated radiographic technique (Dorr method). Their mean age at the time of operation was 45.3 (24–81) years old and mean follow-up period was 10.8 (96–144 months) years.

Purpose

To evaluate the radiological changes after metal on metal resurfacing arthroplasty.

Materials and Methods

Between December 1998 and August 2004, 166 hips in 150 patients who underwent metal resurfacing arthroplasty and followed up more than 4 years. Their mean age at the time of operation was 37.3 years(range, 15–68 years) and mean period of follow-up was 6.1 years(range, 48–95 months). The cause of arthroplasty included 115 avascular necrosis, 43 osteoarthritis, 7 ankylosing spondylitis, 1 haemophilic arthropathy. All patients had anteroposterior, translateral radiographs of the hip made preoperatively and each follow-up visit, and we analyzed radiographic findings such as radiolucencies or impingement signs around implant, neck narrowing and heterotopic ossification.

Purpose

To evaluate the clinical and radiologic midterm results of rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) in incongruent hip joints.

Material and Methods

A consecutive series of 15 hips in 14 patients who underwent RAO in incongruent hip joint were evaluated at an average follow-up of 52.3 months (range from 36 to 101 months). The average age at operation was 27 years (range from 12 to 38 years) old. The preoperative diagnoses were developmental dysplasia in 4 hips, sequelae of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in 8 hips, and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia in 3 hips. The RAO procedures were combined with a femoral valgus oseotomy in 10 hips, advance osteotomy of greater trochanter in 4 hips, derotational osteotomy in 2 hips. Clinically, Harris hip score, range of motion, leg length discrepancy(LLD) and hip joint pain were evaluated. Radiological changes of anterior and lateral center-edge(CE) angle, acetabular roof angle, acetabular head index(AHI), ratio of body weight moment arm to abductor moment arm, and a progression of osteoarthritis were analyzed.

Purpose

The ultimate goal in total hip arthroplasty is not only to relieve the pain but also to restore original hip joint biomechanics. The average femoral neck-shaft angle(FNSA) in Korean tend to have more varus pattern. Since most of conventional femoral stems have relatively high, single, fixed neck shaft angle, it's not easy to restore vertical and horizontal offset exactly especially in Korean people. This study demonstrates the advantages of dual offset(especially high-offset) stem for restoring original biomechanics of hip joint during the total hip arthroplasty in Korean.

Materials and Methods

180 hips of 155 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using one of the standard(132°) or extended(127°) offset Accolade cementless stems were evaluated retrospectively. Offset of stem was chosen according to the patient's own FNSA in preoperative templating. In a morphometric study, neck-shaft angle of proximal femur, vertical offset and horizontal offset, abductor moment arm were measured on preoperative and postoperative both hip AP radiographs and the differences and correlation of each parameters, between operated hip and original non-operated hip which had no deformity (preoperative ipsilateral or postoperative contralateral hip), were analyzed.
