Purpose

To review prospectively collected data on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty utilizing two different cementless acetabular components.

Method

All patients undergoing primary total hip replacement surgery at our institution are entered prospectively into a database which includes history and physical examination, radiology, WOMAC and SF-36 scores. The patients are re-examined, re-x-rayed and re-scored at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery and yearly thereafter.

Using this database we are able to identify patients who have undergone total hip replacement using one of two geometric variants of the acetabular component. The first design is hemispherical and the second design has a peripheral rim expansion designed to increase initial press-fit stability.

To review prospectively collected data on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty utilizing two different cementless acetabular components.

All patients undergoing primary total hip replacement surgery at our institution are entered prospectively into a database which includes history and physical examination, radiology, WOMAC and SF-36 scores. The patients are re-examined, re-x-rayed and re-scored at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after surgery and yearly thereafter.

Using this database we are able to identify patients who have undergone total hip replacement using one of two geometric variants of the acetabular component. The first design is hemispherical and the second design has a peripheral rim expansion designed to increase initial press-fit stability.

Five hundred and twenty-seven consecutive primary total hip replacements were identified using either of the geometric variants of the acetabular component. Results at a mean of 7 years revealed a 95.6% survivorship with no significant difference between the two component designs with revision for aseptic loosening as the end point. Functional scores between the two groups of patients also demonstrated no statistically significant difference.

Radiologic assessment, however, showed a difference between the two designs. The hemispherical design which matches the reamer line-to-line had 80% complete osseointegration on final radiologic review while the second design with a peripheral rim expansion had only 57% complete osseointegration. This was statistically significant. The peripherally expanded components also had a greater number of screws inserted at the time of surgery, felt by us to be a reflection of initial surgeon dissatisfaction with component stability at the time of insertion of the component.

The difference in screw numbers was also statistically significant. This study demonstrates that a hemispherical design with line-to-line contact between the acetabular component surface and the acetabular bone is statistically superior in terms of bone ingrowth and probably statistically superior in terms of initial press-fit stability when compared to a peripherally expanded component.

Peripherally expanded components appear to offer no advantage over hemispherical components in terms of clinical outcome and are statistically inferior to hemispherical components in radiologic parameters at 7 years follow-up.
