Early subsidence of shape-closed hip arthroplasty stems is associated with late revision. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 24 RSA studies and 56 survival studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Few studies have addressed the association between early migration of femoral stems and late aseptic revision in total hip arthroplasty. We performed a meta-regression analysis on 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses to determine the association between early migration and late aseptic revision of femoral stems.

Patients and methods

Of the 2 reviews, one covered early migration data obtained from radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies and the other covered long-term aseptic revision rates obtained from survival studies with endpoint revision for aseptic loosening. Stems were stratified according to the design concept: cemented shape-closed, cemented force-closed, and uncemented. A weighted regression model was used to assess the association between early migration and late aseptic revision, and to correct for confounders. Thresholds for acceptable and unacceptable migration were determined in accordance with the national joint registries (? 5% revision at 10 years) and the NICE criteria (? 10% revision at 10 years).

Results

24 studies (731 stems) were included in the RSA review and 56 studies (20,599 stems) were included in the survival analysis review. Combining both reviews for the 3 design concepts showed that for every 0.1-mm increase in 2-year subsidence, as measured with RSA, there was a 4% increase in revision rate for the shape-closed stem designs. This association remained after correction for age, sex, diagnosis, hospital type, continent, and study quality. The threshold for acceptable migration of shape-closed designs was defined at 0.15 mm; stems subsiding less than 0.15 mm in 2 years had revision rates of less than 5% at 10 years, while stems exceeding 0.15 mm subsidence had revision rates of more than 5%.

Interpretation

There was a clinically relevant association between early subsidence of shape-closed femoral stems and late revision for aseptic loosening. This association can be used to assess the safety of shape-closed stem designs. The published research is not sufficient to allow us to make any conclusions regarding such an association for the force-closed and uncemented stems.

Project description:BackgroundBoth modular and monoblock tapered fluted titanium (TFT) stems are increasingly being used for revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). However, the differences between the two designs in clinical outcomes and complications are not yet clear. Here, we intend to compare the efficacy and safety of modular versus monoblock TFT stems in rTHA.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to include studies comparing modular and monoblock implants in rTHA. Data on the survivorship of stems, postoperative hip function, and complications were extracted following inclusion criteria. Inverse variance and Mantel-Haenszel methods in Review Manager (version 5.3 from Cochrane Collaboration) were used to evaluate differences between the two groups.ResultsTen studies with a total of 2188 hips (1430 modular and 758 monoblock stems) were finally included. The main reason for the revision was aseptic loosening. Paprosky type III was the most common type in both groups. Both stems showed similar re-revision rates (modular vs monoblock: 10.3% vs 9.5%, P = 0.80) and Harris Hip Scores (WMD = 0.43, P = 0.46) for hip function. The intraoperative fracture rate was 11.6% and 5.0% (P = 0.0004) for modular and monoblock stems, respectively. The rate of subsidence > 10 mm was significantly higher in the monoblock group (4.5% vs 1.0%, P = 0.003). The application of extended trochanteric osteotomy was more popular in monoblock stems (22.7% vs 17.5%, P = 0.003). The incidence of postoperative complications such as periprosthetic femoral fracture and dislocation was similar between both stems.ConclusionsNo significant difference was found between modular and monoblock tapered stems as regards postoperative hip function, re-revision rates, and complications. Severe subsidence was more frequent in monoblock stems while modular ones were at higher risk of intraoperative fracture.Level of evidenceLevel III, systematic review of randomized control and non-randomized studies.Trial registrationWe registered our study in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42020213642).

Project description:IntroductionThe present study evaluated whether patient demographic characteristics influence the subsidence of the stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The following characteristics were evaluated: age, height, weight, and sex. The association between the time elapsed from the THA implantation and the amount of stem subsidence was also investigated.MethodsThe records of patients who underwent THA in the period between 2016 and 2023 were accessed. All patients underwent two-staged bilateral THA using cementless DePuy collarless Corail (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA, USA) stems. The following parameters were measured and compared to assess stem subsidence: distance from the proximal femur at the stem bone interface and the medial apex of the regular triangle built within the trochanter minor (point A); distance from the medial apex of the regular triangle built within the trochanter minor and the distal portion of the femoral stem (point B).ResultsOverall, 294 patients were included. 62% (182 of 294 patients) were women. 45% (134 of 296 THAs) were on the right side. The mean age was 64.9 ± 10.4 years. The mean BMI was 28.3 ± 5.1 kg/m2. The mean length of the follow-up was 14.4 ± 11.0 months. The mean subsidence in point A was 2.1 mm (P < 0.0001), and that in point B was 3.1 mm (P < 0.0001). There was evidence of a weak positive association between patient weight (P < 0.0001), age (P = 0.03), follow-up (P = 0.002) and the amount of stem subsidence. Patient height did not demonstrate any association with the amount of stem subsidence (P = 0.07). There was no difference in stem subsidence between women and men (P = 0.9).ConclusionStem subsidence in THA using cementless DePuy collarless Corail implants is approximately 2.6 mm after 14.4 months. Greater patient weight, age, and longer time elapsed from THA implantation were associated with greater stem subsidence. Patient height and sex did not demonstrate any influence on the amount of stem subsidence. These results must be considered in light of the limitations of the present study.
