Fracture of the neck of an uncemented femoral component unrelated to trunnion corrosion.

ABSTRACT: This is the first report, to our knowledge, of a fracture, unrelated to trunnion corrosion, through the midneck of a well-fixed uncemented cobalt-chromium alloy femoral component that had been implanted via a total hip revision arthroplasty 25 years ago. Three years after a second revision for polyethylene wear, the patient noted an acute onset of pain in the left hip. There was no antecedent pain in the hip or thigh. Radiographs and intraoperative findings showed a well-fixed femoral component. Electron microscopic retrieval analysis showed intergranular material cracks. Revision of the femoral component was performed with an extended trochanteric osteotomy. This fracture of the femoral component neck was likely related to metal fabrication techniques, and surveillance of this component may be warranted.

Fracture of an uncemented tantalum patellar component.

Project description:A 62-year-old man presented with the acute, atraumatic onset of pain 3 years after uncemented right total knee arthroplasty. He complained of new mechanical locking with the knee held in extension on examination and unable to flex the knee. On the plain radiographs, the patellar component peg was fractured and the plate was dislocated. The knee was immobilized, and revision to a cemented 3-peg component was performed. Fracture of a single-peg, tantalum-backed uncemented patellar component has not been described. Clinical suspicion for this should be given in the setting of acute locking. We recommend revision with a cemented polyethylene component.

Increased risk of intraoperative and early postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture with uncemented stems.

Project description:Background and purpose - The use of uncemented fixation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing. Registry studies have indicated an increased risk of revision of uncemented implants due to early periprosthetic femoral fracture. In this paper, we describe the incidence and predisposing factors for intraoperative and early postoperative (? 90 days) periprosthetic femoral fractures after cemented and uncemented THA. Patients and methods - This was a prospective observational study in 8 Danish high-volume centers from February 2010 to November 2013. We used the 90-day follow-up from the Danish National Patient Registry and patient records. We obtained intraoperative information from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry and from surgical notes. Results - Of 7,169 primary consecutive THAs, 5,482 (77%) were performed using uncemented femoral components. The total incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures ? 90 days postoperatively was 2.1% (n = 150). 70 fractures were detected intraoperatively (46 required osteosynthesis). 51 postoperatively detected fractures occurred without trauma (42 of which were reoperated) and 29 were postoperative fall-related fractures (27 of which were reoperated). 134 fractures (2.4%) were found in uncemented femoral components and 16 (0.9%) were found in cemented femoral components (p < 0.001). Uncemented femoral stem (relative risk (RR)?=?4.1, 95% CI: 2.3-7.2), medically treated osteoporosis (RR =2.8, CI: 1.6-4.8), female sex (RR =1.6, CI: 1.1-2.2), and age (RR =1.4 per 10 years, CI: 1.2-1.6) were associated with increased risk of periprosthetic femoral fracture when analyzed using multivariable regression analysis. Interpretation - Uncemented femoral components were associated with an increased risk of early periprosthetic femoral fractures, especially in elderly, female, and osteoporotic patients.

Systematic review of cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty outcomes for femoral neck fractures.

Project description:Although hemiarthroplasties are an important treatment for femoral neck fractures, the literature does not provide a clear approach for selecting the implant fixation method. Therefore, we performed a systematic search of the medical literature and identified 11 prospective and retrospective studies that compared results between cemented and uncemented femoral implant fixation methods. After independent blind data extraction, we compared variables between cemented and uncemented cohorts using two different meta-analysis models. Pooled data represented 1632 cemented and 981 uncemented hemiarthroplasties (average age of patients, 78.9 and 77.5 years, respectively). The average operating room times and blood loss volumes were 95 minutes and 467 mL, respectively, for the cemented and 80 minutes and 338 mL for the uncemented cohorts. Postoperative mortality rates, overall complications, and pain were similar between the two cohorts. Despite a few potential trends, we found few statistical differences between cemented and uncemented techniques based on reported outcome measurements. In addition, inspection of this literature underscored the lack of and need for consistent and standardized reporting of outcome variables regarding these procedures.

Adherence to a femoral neck fracture treatment guideline.

Project description:In 2007 the Dutch Surgical Society published a clinical practice guideline for the treatment of hip fracture patients, based on the best available international evidence at that time. We investigated to what extent treatment of femoral neck fracture patients in the Netherlands corresponded with these guidelines, and determined differences in patient characteristics between the treatment groups.All femoral neck fracture patients treated in 14 hospitals between February 2008 and August 2009 were included. Patient characteristics, X-rays, and treatment data were collected retrospectively.From a total of 1,250 patients 59% had been treated with arthroplasty, 39% with internal fixation, and 2% with a non-operative treatment. While 74% of the treatment choices complied with the guideline, 12% did not. In 14% adherence could not be determined from the available data. Arthroplasty was preferred over internal fixation in elderly patients with severe comorbidity, pre-fracture osteoporosis and a displaced fracture, who were ambulatory with aids pre-fracture (odds ratio, OR 2.2-58.1). Sliding hip screws were preferred over cancellous screws in displaced fractures (OR 1.9).Overall guideline adherence was good. Most deviations concerned treatment of elderly patients with a displaced fracture and implant use in internal fixation. Additional data on these issues, preferably at a higher scientific level of evidence, is needed in order to improve the guideline and to reinforce a more uniform treatment of these patients.

Cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients: a meta-analysis.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Controversy still exists regarding using cemented or uncemented hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of the two surgical techniques in femoral neck fracture patients over 70 years old. METHODS: We searched PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI and VIP Database from inception to December 2012 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Outcomes of interest include postoperative hip function, residue pain, complication rates, mortality, reoperation rate, operation time and intraoperative blood loss. Odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean differences (WMD) from each trial were pooled using random-effects model or fixed-effects model given on the heterogeneity of the included studies. RESULTS: 7 RCTs involving 1,125 patients (1,125 hips) were eligible for meta-analysis. Our results demonstrate that cemented hemiarthroplasty is associated with better postoperative hip function (OR?=?0.48, 95% CI, 0.31-0.76; P?=?0.002), lower residual pain (OR?=?0.43, 95%CI, 0.29-0.64; P<0.0001), less implant-related complications (OR?=?0.15, 95%CI, 0.09-0.26; P<0.00001) and longer operation time (WMD?=?7.43 min, 95% CI, 5.37-9.49 min; P<0.00001). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in mortality, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, local complications, general complications, reoperation rate and intraoperative blood loss. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with uncemented hemiarthroplasty, the existing evidence indicates that cemented hemiarthroplasty can achieve better hip function, lower residual pain and less implant-related complications with no increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, general complications, local complications and reoperation rate in treating elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.

More complications with uncemented than cemented femoral stems in total hip replacement for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly.

Project description:Background and purpose - Total hip replacement (THR) is the preferred method for the active and lucid elderly patient with a displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF). Controversy still exists regarding the use of cemented or uncemented stems in these patients. We compared the effectiveness and safety between a modern cemented, and a modern uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem in patients 65-79 years of age who were treated with THR for displaced FNF. Patients and methods - In a single-center, single-blinded randomized controlled trial, we included 69 patients, mean age 75 (65-79) and with a displaced FNF (Garden III-IV). 35 patients were randomized to a cemented THR and 34 to a reverse-hybrid THR with an uncemented stem. Primary endpoints were: prevalence of all hip-related complications and health-related quality of life, evaluated with EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) index up to 2 years after surgery. Secondary outcomes included: overall mortality, general medical complications, and hip function. The patients were followed up at 3, 12, and 24 months. Results - According to the calculation of sample size, 140 patients would be required for the primary endpoints, but the study was stopped when only half of the sample size was included (n = 69). An interim analysis at that time showed that the total number of early hip-related complications was substantially higher in the uncemented group, 9 (among them, 3 dislocations and 4 periprosthetic fractures) as compared to 1 in the cemented group. The mortality and functional outcome scores were similar in the 2 groups. Interpretation - We do not recommend uncemented femoral stems for the treatment of elderly patients with displaced FNFs.

Does Proximal Femoral Morphology Impact Morbidity and Mortality? A Cohort Study of Uncemented Hemiarthroplasties in the Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures.

Project description:BackgroundTo assess outcomes after uncemented hemiarthroplasty stems in the treatment of intracapsular femoral neck fractures over an 11-year period. Mortality rates were assessed, and whether proximal femoral geometry and stem alignment were factors in intraoperative or postoperative periprosthetic fracture (PPF) needs to be identified.Materials and methodsA retrospective single-center observational study was conducted of all patients who underwent intracapsular femoral neck fracture treatment using an uncemented prosthesis between January 2008 and December 2018. Primary endpoints included mortality rate, Dorr classification, prosthesis alignment, intraoperative fracture, and reoperation rate for any reason. Subanalysis on collared and uncollared implants was also conducted. Multivariate logistic regression was performed based on Dorr classification for stem alignment, fracture incidence, reoperation rate, implant sizing, and patient mortality.ResultsA total of 536 patients received an uncemented hemiarthroplasty in the study period. The mean patients age was 80.4 years, of which 71% were female. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.2%, with no deaths on day zero or day one. Twenty patients (3.7%) sustained an intraoperative calcar fracture, and 14 patients a PPF (2.6%) at a mean of 1.3 years from surgery. Dorr C type femurs were more likely to develop a PPF (P = .001), while valgus stem alignment was associated with PPF (P = .049).ConclusionsThis implant has low reoperation rates, low early postoperative mortality, and low 30-day mortality. This large single-center study provides up-to-date information using a contemporary stem in patients with multiple comorbidities. Dorr C femoral morphology and valgus stem malalignment were risk factors for postoperative fractures.

Fracture of the Neck of a Modern Cementless, Titanium Femoral Stem.

Project description:Intraprosthetic fracture of a femoral component is a rare but devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We present the case of a 68-year-old man who presented with acute hip pain approximately 8 years after a left THA with a modern cementless, titanium femoral component. Radiographs revealed a fracture of the midportion of the neck of the stem, below the level of the trunnion. The patient underwent an isolated 1-component revision THA with a modular exchange. To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of a catastrophic failure fracture of this particular prosthesis.

Early fracture of the modular neck of a MODULUS femoral stem.

Project description:We present the case of a 46-year-old woman who underwent revision surgery approximately 4 years after total hip arthroplasty because of a fracture of the modular neck of a MODULUS femoral stem. The fractured surfaces of the retrieved implant were inspected using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was also performed to identify the stresses that might have caused the failure. We concluded that active, obese patients who are implanted with a high-offset, small-sized modular component could experience stress-induced fractures of the modular neck, with proper fixation and osseointegration of the distal stem, especially if residual bone or tissue is present on the inner surface of the neck that could contribute to micromovement and decreased proximal fixation.

Bead debonding from a modern cementless total hip femoral component with concomitant taper corrosion.

Project description:We report a case of bead shedding from a cylindrical extensively porous-coated cementless femoral component with concomitant taper corrosion at the modular head-neck junction of a metal-on-polyethylene total hip prosthesis. The patient presented with chronic thigh pain 4 years after primary total hip arthroplasty, and radiographs revealed significant osteolysis and metallic debris around the femoral stem. Intraoperatively, the patient had a grossly loose femoral component with debonding of sintered beads from the femoral stem, as well as evidence of taper corrosion. We identify a failure of a modern beaded femoral component in conjunction with taper corrosion.
