Three-dimensional technology assisted trabecular metal cup and augments positioning in revision total hip arthroplasty with complex acetabular defects.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with large acetabular defect remains a challenge. Though trabecular metal (TM) cup and augments have been introduced in defect reconstruction with good result, the accurate positioning of implant is important to avoid complications. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) simulation and 3D model in assisting implant positioning during complex revision THA. METHODS:Sixteen patients (18 hips) who underwent revision THA with a Paprosky type III acetabular defect were analyzed retrospectively. Placement of acetabular cup and TM augments was simulated with 3D simulation software and 3D model preoperatively. Cup anteversion, abduction angle, and hip center were measured in each case preoperatively and postoperatively. Primary outcome was the percentage of outliers according to Lewinnek safe zone and Harris hip score (HHS). Secondary outcome was the correlation between the 3D planned and the postoperative value. RESULTS:The percentage of outliers was significantly corrected from 77.78% (14/18) preoperatively to 38.88% (7/18) postoperatively (p = 0.04). There was a significant correlation between mean planned cup anteversion and postoperative value (13.39 vs 11.99, r = 0.894; p < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between mean planned abduction and postoperative value (42.67 vs 44.91, r = 0.921, p < 0.001). The number of planned and used augments was the same in all the cases. In 15 cases (83.33%), the size of planned and used TM augments was the same. The HHS was significantly improved at final follow-up (80.94 vs 27.50, p < 0.001). No cases presented dislocation or radiological signs of loosening. CONCLUSION:Preoperative 3D simulation and model were considered the useful method to assist implant positioning in revision THA with complex acetabular defect, with moderate to high accuracy and satisfied clinical outcome.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between the acetabular cup position and the risk of dislocation, wear and range of motion after total hip arthroplasty. The present study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of the surgeon's estimated position of the cup after freehand placement in total hip replacement. Peroperative estimated abduction and anteversion of 200 acetabular components (placed by three orthopaedic surgeons and nine residents) were compared with measured outcomes (according to Pradhan) on postoperative radiographs. Cups were placed in 49.7 degrees (SD 6.7) of abduction and 16.0 degrees (SD 8.1) of anteversion. Estimation of placement was 46.3 degrees (SD 4.3) of abduction and 14.6 degrees (SD 5.9) of anteversion. Of more interest is the fact that for the orthopaedic surgeons the mean inaccuracy of estimation was 4.1 degrees (SD 3.9) for abduction and 5.2 degrees (SD 4.5) for anteversion and for their residents this was respectively, 6.3 degrees (SD 4.6) and 5.7 degrees (SD 5.0). Significant differences were found between orthopaedic surgeons and residents for inaccuracy of estimation for abduction, not for anteversion. Body mass index, sex, (un)cemented fixation and surgical approach (anterolateral or posterolateral) were not significant factors. Based upon the inaccuracy of estimation, the group's chance on future cup placement within Lewinnek's safe zone (5-25 degrees anteversion and 30-50 degrees abduction) is 82.7 and 85.2% for anteversion and abduction separately. When both parameters are combined, the chance of accurate placement is only 70.5%. The chance of placement of the acetabular component within 5 degrees of an intended position, for both abduction and anteversion is 21.5% this percentage decreases to just 2.9% when the tolerated error is 1 degrees . There is a tendency to underestimate both abduction and anteversion. Orthopaedic surgeons are superior to their residents in estimating abduction of the acetabular component. The results of this study indicate that freehand placement of the acetabular component is not a reliable method.

Project description:Background: Acetabular cage reconstruction with bone allografts is among the successful strategies to deal with massive acetabular bone loss. However, the nonbiological fixation nature of cages can compromise long-term success. Tantalum trabecular metal acetabular cups (TM cups) have been used in acetabular revision surgery because of their increased initial stability and good bone ingrowth features. This study was performed to determine whether the bone stock of the acetabulum is enough to support a hemispheric TM cup after failed cage reconstruction with bone allografts. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who received acetabular revision surgery with TM cups after failed cage reconstruction with bone allografts from 2006 to 2017. There were 12 patients (5 males and 7 females) included in this study, with a mean age of 61.5 years (38 to 81) at the time of re-revision surgery. The mean follow-up after re-revision surgery was 8.6 years (2.6 to 13.3). The endpoint was defined as the aseptic loosening of the TM cup and reoperation for any causes. The change in bone stock of the acetabulum between index revision and re-revision was assessed according to the Gross classification for acetabular bone loss. Results: One patient died after eight years of follow-up of a cause not related to hip surgery. Two patients received two-stage revision arthroplasty due to PJI after 3.2 and 9.4 years of follow-up, respectively. The bone stock of the acetabulum was significantly improved between index revision and re-revision surgery (p < 0.0001). The Kaplan-Meier survivorship was 100% with aseptic loosening as the endpoint and 90% and 75% at five- and ten-year follow-up, respectively, with reoperation for any reason as the endpoint. Even cage reconstruction with bone allografts will fail eventually, and the bone stock of the acetabulum will improve after union and incorporation between host bone and allografts. The restored bone stocks will facilitate further revision surgery with hemispheric TM cups. The biological fixation between host bone and tantalum trabecular metal can provide longstanding stability of the TM cup. Conclusions: The results of our study offer a viable option for patients with failed cage reconstruction with bone allografts.
