A case of bilateral hip mechanically assisted crevice corrosion after staged total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC), also known as trunnionosis, and adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) are entities that can lead to pain and necessitate revision in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We present a case of a 75-year-old female who received a bilateral staged primary THA with metal on cross-linked polyethylene implants and had subsequent bilateral revisions for MACC and ALTR. In both instances, she presented with anterior thigh pain, weakness, and difficulty ambulating, and she was revised to ceramic on cross-linked polyethylene implants. This case may suggest a biologic predisposition or systemic immunogenic reaction to metal debris in some patients with ALTR or represent an implant-specific complication. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of a patient having bilateral MACC from staged THA performed by 2 different surgeons using the same brand implant.

Bilateral Mechanically-Assisted Crevice Corrosion Resulting in Femoral Stem-Head Dissociation in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:There are emerging reports of complications related to corrosion in modular femoral components. We report a unique case describing an 83-year-old man with bilateral mechanically-assisted crevice corrosion in hip replacements performed 10 years previously, by the same surgeon using the same size 3 Accolade TMZF stem and same 44-mm CoCr LFIT V40 head (Stryker Orthopedics, Mahwah NJ). Our patient presented with complete femoral stem-head complex dissociation of his right hip and elevated serum cobalt and chromium levels. He subsequently underwent right hip revision arthroplasty while his contralateral hip is monitored closely as an outpatient. This case helps to define the poorly understood mechanisms and component design factors implicated in this emerging issue. We also hope to provoke discussions about guidelines for monitoring and revising failing metal-on-polyethylene arthroplasty systems.

Neurologic Dysfunction Associated With Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion and Elevated Cobalt Ion Levels After Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Adverse local tissue reactions secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion is a complication of total hip arthroplasty known to cause local soft-tissue damage. However, what is not as well appreciated is that MACC in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) articulations can lead to cobalt ion serum elevations with associated neurological dysfunction just as in metal-on-metal articulations. We report a compelling case for the association of neurologic dysfunction tied to metal ion elevations secondary to MACC at two distinct MOP tapers in a 58-year-old intensive care unit nurse with two hips implanted 3 years apart. This report further raises awareness about the potential of MACC-generated elevated ion levels to produce neurological symptoms that might otherwise be overlooked in patients with MOP articulations.

Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion of the head-neck taper in a large head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Taper corrosion of the head-neck junction is a potentially significant and devastating problem facing orthopedic surgeons. We present a case of a 53 year old male who presented for routine follow up for a left, large head, metal on metal total hip arthroplasty five years out. The patient was asymptomatic at the visit. X-rays at the time demonstrated a large amount of medial calcar osteolysis. Serum ion levels revealed a mildly increased cobalt and normal chromium level and hip aspiration revealed brownish fluid. At the time of revision surgery, corrosion of the head-neck taper was found with a normal appearing bearing surface leading to the diagnosis of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion of the head-neck taper with medial calcar osteolysis.

Custom titanium sleeve for surgical treatment of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion in the well-fixed, noncontemporary stem in total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Adverse local tissue reaction associated with total hip replacement may occur when mechanically assisted crevice corrosion occurs at metal-metal modular junctions in which at least one of the components is fabricated from cobalt-chromium alloy. Complete removal of components may be associated with significant morbidity; when components are well fixed and in acceptable position, it may be appropriate to consider modular rather than complete revision. We have diagnosed mechanically assisted crevice corrosion in total hip arthroplasty patients with noncontemporary but well-fixed femoral components and found that modular conversion to a ceramic femoral head to remove a source of CoCr corrosion and fretting products was only possible by having a custom titanium sleeve manufactured. Surgical implantation with a revision style Biolox ceramic head (CeramTec, Plochingen, Germany) was then achieved.

Late Hematogenous Total Hip Infection After Revision for Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion With Adverse Local Tissue Reaction.

Project description:Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion-bore junction of a total hip arthroplasty may cause adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) with inflammatory reaction and tissue necrosis. Complications, including acute infection, continued pain, and instability, are therefore common after a revision surgery for MACC. We now present 2 cases of late hematogenous bacterial infection years after revision for MACC and ALTR, a previously unreported outcome in this population. We hypothesize that MACC-induced tissue necrosis does not heal over time, and some patients with metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty treated for ALTR are at long-term risk of hematogenous bacterial infection.

Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion in a Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Presenting With Lower Extremity Vascular Compromise.

Project description:Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion in modular total hip replacements may lead to an adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) with a variety of sequelae. Although an ALTR is most commonly recognized with metal-on-metal modular hip constructs, tribocorrosion at the head-neck junction of metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasties may also lead to an ALTR. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of MoP total hip arthroplasty who presented with unilateral leg swelling, joint pain, and stiffness and subsequently underwent revision for an ALTR secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion. This unique case of lower extremity vascular compromise resulting from an ALTR is important because clinicians should consider corrosion-related ALTRs when treating patients with an MoP hip prosthesis presenting with new-onset lower extremity swelling.

"Off-label" Usage of an Oxidized Zirconium Femoral Head in Revision of a Total Hip Arthroplasty with Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion and a Legacy Taper.

Project description:We present a case of a 72-year-old male with a history of a late 1980s metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty who presented with unilateral leg vascular compromise, joint pain, and stiffness and subsequently underwent revision for adverse local tissue reaction secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion. His stable and extensively porous coated femoral implant had a legacy taper with no currently manufactured option for a non-Co-alloy femoral head. After shared decision-making with the patient, we opted to use an oxidized zirconium femoral head from another manufacturer with a similar taper during his revision surgery and documented that his vascular compromise resolved and his serum Co was undetectable 3 years after the revision.

Simultaneous versus staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Project description:Background Total hip arthroplasty is a common orthopedic surgery for treating primary or secondary hip osteoarthritis. Bilateral total hip replacement could be performed in a single stage or two separate stages. Each surgical procedure's reliability, safety, and complications have been reported controversially. This study aimed to review the current evidence regarding the outcomes of simultaneous and staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis using MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Eligible studies compared complications and related outcomes between simultaneous and staged bilateral THA. Two reviewers independently screened initial search results, assessed methodological quality, and extracted data. We used the Mantel–Haenszel method to perform the meta-analysis. Results In our study, we included 29,551 patients undergoing simBTHA and 74,600 patients undergoing stgBTHA. In favor of the simBTHA, a significant reduction in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and systemic, local, and pulmonary complications was documented. However, we evidenced an increased pulmonary embolism (PE) and periprosthetic fracture risk in simBTHA. In the simBTHA, total blood loss, length of hospital stay, and total cost were lower. Conclusion This meta-analysis shows that simultaneous bilateral THA accompanies fewer complications and lower total cost. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to provide robust evidence.

Staged Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty in a 17-Year-Old With Type VI Mucopolysaccharidosis.

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidosis encompasses multiple lysosomal storage disorders that are relevant to the orthopedic surgeon as they lead to disruption in bone and cartilage development. These patients may present with early-onset joint pain, including end-stage hip arthritis warranting total hip replacement. The altered hip anatomy in this disorder is of specific importance to the arthroplasty surgeon as it presents challenges when reconstructing the proximal femur and acetabulum and informs implant choice. We present a 17-year-old patient with end-stage bilateral hip arthritis who underwent staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty. We discuss technical considerations in surgical technique and the consequences of acetabular and femoral deformity on implant selection.

Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty in Morquio syndrome.

Project description:A 16-year-old girl who had Morquio syndrome presented with severe bilateral hip pain and limited mobility because of bilateral hip osteoarthritis and fixed flexion deformities. She was wheelchair bound for the previous 6 months. Cervical spine flexion-extension views showed mild subluxation (<3 mm), and there was thoracolumbar spine kyphosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical and thoracolumbar spine showed hypoplasia of the odontoid and vertebral bodies, but no spinal cord compression. Bilateral cemented total hip arthroplasty was performed through a posterior approach under general anesthesia with fiberoptic intubation. The femoral canals accepted a small-diameter stem, the right femoral head was used as a graft for superior right acetabular deficiency, and low-profile all-polyethylene acetabular cups were implanted. Follow-up at 15 years after surgery showed that the patient was fully ambulatory without pain or supports, and radiographs showed no loosening. In summary, total hip arthroplasty at a young age may be necessary in patients who have Morquio syndrome because of severe arthritis and soft tissue contractures. Extensive preoperative evaluation that includes imaging of the entire spine is mandatory because of the risk of developing spinal cord compression.
