Pseudotumor in ceramic-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: The increasing demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in relatively young, high-demand patients has led to the use of hard-on-hard bearing surfaces. Adverse local tissue reaction/pseudotumor and elevated serum metal ion levels are commonly reported complications encountered in metal-on-metal THA, while audible articulation and rim fracture are reported in ceramic-on-ceramic THA. For this reason, ceramic-on-metal THA was implemented as an ideal hard-on-hard bearing combination. In this report, we describe a case of bilateral simultaneous ceramic-on-metal THA in a 69-year-old woman who presented 7 years postoperatively with unilateral hip pain associated with underlying pseudotumor and elevated serum cobalt and chromium ion levels. Pre-revision workup, intraoperative findings, and postoperative evaluation are included and suggest acetabular malposition as a potential source for complication.

Inflammatory pseudotumor after ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:We present a unique case of a symptomatic adverse local tissue reaction in a patient with a ceramic-on-ceramic total hip bearing surface. To our knowledge, this pathological finding has not yet been described in a ceramic-on-ceramic articulation without a cobalt-chromium alloy trunnion or modular neck component as a source of metal wear. We conclude that despite its mechanical mostly benign wear characteristics, ceramic wear debris is not entirely inert and may lead to the development of adverse local tissue reaction.

A case of bone necrosis with pseudotumor following metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:A case of bone necrosis with a pseudotumor following metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty is presented. The patient showed no abnormal magnetic resonance findings 2 years postoperatively, but serum metal ion levels were elevated. The patient developed hip pain 3.5 years postoperatively, and bone necrosis with a pseudotumor was found. The present patient emphasized the fact that tissue necrosis associated with failed metal-on-metal bearing hip might not be limited to soft tissues, but bone necrosis could occur.

Severe Wear and multiple Pseudotumor formation due to revision for ceramic head breakage after ceramic-on-ceramic Total hip arthroplasty: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Head breakage is a serious complication following total hip arthroplasty when using Ceramic on Ceramic bearings surfaces. There is still in controversy about the selection of bearing surfaces when conducting revision surgery. CASE PRESENTATION:We describe the case of a fifty-year-old man who had undergone right total hip arthroplasty (THA) with ceramic-on-ceramic prostheses in 2011. After a fall 6 years after the primary procedures, radiographs suggested a ceramic head breakage for revision THA with exchange of metal-on-polyethylene bearing. However, 8 months later, severe metallosis and multiple pseudotumor was confirmed in pelvis and surrounding hip after re-revision THA with ceramic-on-polyethylene prostheses. Analysis of the serum metal ion indicated massive wear of the metal head and erosion of the stem neck and taper. CONCLUSIONS:This case vividly demonstrates metal bearings should be avoided and revision with complete synovectomy and thorough debridement should be performed whenever possible for a fractured ceramic bearing.

Do Polyethylene Supra-Macroparticles Lead to Pseudotumor Formation in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty?

Project description:We describe 2 cases of pseudotumors induced by an unusual size of polyethylene wear particle after metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (MoP THA). The supra-macroparticles of size >100 μm originated from a polyethylene liner with relatively small cup anteversion, potentially leading to excessive loading and increased wear of the anterior edge of the polyethylene liner. Histopathology showed a foreign-body reaction to the polyethylene particles without an adverse reaction to metal debris and with no severe signs of corrosion at the head-neck junction, which have been noted in past reports of pseudotumors in MoP THA. It has been suggested that the large polyethylene wear particles might be the cause of pseudotumor formation in MoP THA.

Incidence of 'squeaking' after ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:UnlabelledThe incidence of hip "squeak" associated with ceramic-on-ceramic bearings has been variably reported, ranging from 0.7% to 20.9%. We determined the patients' perception of squeaking in 306 patients (336 hips) in whom ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were performed between 1997 and 2005. A questionnaire regarding hip noise was obtained by telephone. With a minimum followup of 2 years (mean, 3.9 years; range, 2-10 years), 290 patients (320 or 95% of the THAs) completed the questionnaire. Patients reported hip noise in 55 of the 320 THAs (17%); noise was perceived as squeak in 32 of the 320 (10%). Most squeaking hips (29 of 32) were pain-free and symptom-free. One patient was unhappy with his squeaking hip without pain. Our data suggest a much higher incidence of squeak as perceived by patients than previously reported.Level of evidenceLevel II, therapeutic study.

Growth of an intrapelvic pseudotumor associated with a metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty after revision arthroplasty causing a femoral nerve neuropathy.

Project description:The development of pseudotumors is not uncommon with metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty. Pseudotumors that dissect into the retroperitoneal space can cause symptoms of nerve compression. We describe a case of a 53-year-old male with a metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty who developed mild symptoms of a femoral nerve neuropathy 6 years postoperatively. Revision arthroplasty to a ceramic-on-polyethylene articulation and debridement of the pseudotumor was performed. Postoperatively, the patient's femoral neuropathy progressed and a repeat magnetic resonance imaging showed an increase in size of the pseudotumor despite the removal of the offending metal-on-metal articulation. The patient subsequently underwent a laparoscopic excision of the retroperitoneal pseudotumor. By 17 months post laparoscopic excision of the pseudotumor, the patient's motor deficits resolved, however, sensory deficits persisted in the anteromedial thigh.

Long-Term Results of Delta Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundCeramic-on-ceramic (COC) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have long been considered the coupling with the lowest overall wear. However, concerns about complications such as ceramic breakage and noise, combined with the improved performance of polyethylene, have limited its use in the United States. This postapproval follow-up reports long-term (10 years) results of Delta COC in THA patients primarily enrolled in an Investigational Device Exemption study.MethodsPatients received Delta COC THA in a prospective multicenter study with either 28-mm (N = 105 hips in 104 patients) or 36-mm (N = 81) articulations. Annual clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed for years 5 to 10, and study patients were asked about hip noises and reproducibility.ResultsThere have been 4 additional reports of noise in 4 patients (COC 28, n = 3; COC 36, n = 1). The cumulative incidence rate for squeaking or noise at 10 years is 5.9% for COC 28 and 13.5% for COC 36. There have been 2 additional reports of dislocation in 2 patients (COC 28, n = 1; COC 36, n = 1). The cumulative incidence rate for dislocation at 10 years is 3.7% for COC 28 and 3.5% for COC 36. At 10 years, there were greater than 40 hips available for follow-up. At mean 10-year follow-up, there were a total of 3 ceramic liner fractures, but none since the previous report. There were no revisions in the 28-mm cohort, and 2 revisions in the 36-mm cohort (1 for recurrent dislocation and 1 for pain and noise). Overall Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 95.96% at 10.5 years (28 mm: 97.68% at 10.2 years; 36 mm: 94.11% at 10.4 years.).ConclusionsAt 10-year follow-up, we report excellent results in regard to survivorship, with one patient revised for pain with associated squeaking.

Ceramic liner fracture and impingement in total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundCeramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces were developed to provide an alternate to metal-on-polyethylene to decrease wear-induced osteolysis in total hip arthroplasty patients. In an effort to decrease the risk of ceramic acetabular component fracture or damage during implantation, a raised metal rim was added.Questions/purposesHow many fractures or impingements have occurred in our population of patients with ceramic liners with raised rims?MethodsWith IRB-approved consent, a case series was reviewed from a single center registry and 4 of 169 patients were identified who had revision hip surgery with the ceramic liner with a raised metal rim: one for ceramic liner fracture and three for metallosis, pain, and squeaking. Implant alignment and operative findings were reviewed.ResultsOne ceramic liner fracture and three cases of metallosis from impingement of the femoral neck on the posterior elevated metal rim of the acetabular liner were observed at revision. The femoral neck in each patient had a divot that corresponded to a divot in the posterosuperior liner rim. Three of the four patients had audible squeaking or clicking prior to revision. A total of 3% of patients in this series had clinically significant impingement with this implant type.ConclusionAcoustic phenomenon in a ceramic on ceramic bearing surface should be investigated with a cross-table lateral radiograph to evaluate component position. If symptomatic impingement is demonstrated, revision should be considered to avoid failure from metallosis or fracture.

Ceramic-on-ceramic bearings total hip arthroplasty in young patients.

Project description:The results of ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients were not univocal. This study aims to evaluate the results of CoC bearing THA in patients younger than 50 years.A total of 90 younger patients performed CoC THAs during March 2003 and May 2008 were included in this study. Hip function and activity were evaluated with Harris hip score and University of California Los Angeles activity score. We had discussed survival rates, radiological findings of component loosening or osteolysis, and ceramic-related complications in these patients.The mean Harris hip score increased from 46.3 ± 12.0 points (range, 28-70 points) before surgery to 92.5 ± 5.6 points (range, 78-100 points) at the final follow-up. The mean preoperative University of California Los Angeles activity score was 4.2 ± 1.1 points (range, 2-6 points), which improved to a mean of 7.2 ± 1.3 points (range, 4-10 points). At the time of the last follow-up, there was found to be 1 occurrence of hip dislocation, 1 squeaking, and 2 "sandwich" ceramic liners fractured during normal activity of daily living. No hips showed osteolysis or required revision for aseptic loosening. Kaplan-Meier survivorship with revision due to loosening or osteolysis was 100% and with revision due to ceramic fracture was 97.3% (95% confidence interval, 93.7%-100%) at a mean of 9.4 years.This study with the use of CoC bearings THAs in younger patients have shown promising results and higher rate of survivorship without evidence of osteolysis.

Ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty: incidence of instability and noise.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Alternative bearing materials in THA have been developed to reduce the incidence of osteolysis. Alumina-on-alumina bearings exhibit extremely low wear rates in vitro, but concerns exist regarding component impingement with the potential for dislocation and the occurrence of noise. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We determined generation of squeaking and the relationship between squeaking and component position. METHODS: We prospectively entered 436 alumina-on-alumina, cementless, primary THAs in 364 patients into our institutional database. All procedures were performed with the same surgical technique and the same implant. We obtained Harris Hip scores and a noise questionnaire and assessed radiographic component position and loosening. We determined the difference in abduction angle between squeakers and nonsqueakers. Minimum followup was 2 years (average, 3.5 years; range, 2.0-6.2 years). RESULTS: The mean Harris hip score increased from 51.9 preoperatively to 94.4 at latest followup. Six hips underwent reoperation: four hips (1.1%) for dislocation and two (0.53%) for periprosthetic fracture after trauma. The incidence of noise of any type was 11%, with the most common type of noise being clicking or snapping. Squeaking was reported by 1.9% of patients, with no patient being revised for this phenomenon. We found no association between component position and squeaking. CONCLUSIONS: At average 3 years followup, 98% of ceramic-on-ceramic THAs did not require a revision, with 1.1% of hips having been revised for dislocation. Fewer than 2% of patients reported hearing an audible squeak, with no association found between component position and squeaking. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
