Algorithmic soft tissue femoral release in anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Although the anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty has gained increasing utilization, some studies have suggested a higher risk of femoral complications, as well as difficulty with femoral exposure. Techniques of soft tissue releases have been described to offer better femoral exposure, and to help mitigate complications. The purpose of the study is to describe an algorithmic soft tissue femoral release in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty and to assess the clinical outcomes of patients upon which this algorithm of femoral soft tissue releases was utilized. Clinical outcomes with the Harris Hip Score, reoperation rates, component survivorship, and complications were analyzed.

Femoral nerve palsy following primary total hip arthroplasty with the direct anterior approach.

Project description:Nerve palsy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) can have a serious effect on a patient`s functional prognosis and on cost-effectiveness, and it is the leading cause of THA-associated medical litigation. However, only a few studies focus on femoral nerve palsy (FNP) following THA with the direct anterior approach (DAA). Moreover, several studies have reported that THA with DAA may result in higher complication rates, particularly during the so-called 'learning-curve period' for the surgeon. This study aimed to identify the incidence of FNP following primary THA with DAA, to determine presumed etiologies through a retrospective investigation of FNP clinical courses following primary THA with DAA and to identify any relationship between the occurrence of FNP following primary THA with DAA and the surgeon's experience of DAA. Since August 2007, DAA for primary THA was introduced in our institution. All 273 consecutive primary THAs with DAA (42 bilateral and 189 unilateral cases) between August 2007 and February 2014 were included in this study. All patients' charts and radiographs were reviewed to identify cases with palsy and to retrieve related factors. In this study, FNP was defined as weakness of the quadriceps femoris (manual muscle test <3) with or without sensory disturbance over the anteromedial aspect of the thigh. The incidence of FNP following primary THA with DAA was 1.1% (3/273 joints). In all 3 cases, the motor deficit recovered completely within a year. Suspected causes of the palsy in the 3 cases were believed to be improper positioning of the anterior acetabular retractor, excessive leg lengthening, or unknown etiology. There was no significant relationship between palsy and surgeon's experience of DAA. In THA with DAA for patients requiring major leg lengthening, the likelihood of FNP must be considered. To prevent FNP, the anterior acetabular retractor must be placed properly.

Quality of the femoral cement mantle in total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior hip approach.

Project description:BackgroundLimited literature exists concerning the femoral cement mantle quality that can be achieved through an anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We radiologically evaluated the quality and thickness of the femoral cement mantle in patients undergoing THA utilizing the direct anterior approach (DAA).MethodsImmediate postoperative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 116 consecutive patients who underwent hybrid or fully cemented THA using the DAA and cemented Quadra-C stem (Medacta, International, SA, Switzerland) were assessed by 2 arthroplasty surgeons blinded to the study. Surgical indications were hip osteoarthritis or subcapital hip fracture. The cement mantle and stem alignment were evaluated using the Barrack classification and Khalily methods, respectively. After calibration of radiographs, the thinnest part of the cement mantle per Gruen zone was recorded. Parameters were compared between obese and nonobese patients.ResultsAgreement between raters was substantial for the cement quality in anteroposterior (k = 0.707, P ≤ .001) and moderate for lateral radiographs (k = 0.574, P ≤ 001). The cement mantle was graded A in 39.25%, B in 53.0%, and C in 7.75% of anteroposterior radiographs and similarly for lateral radiographs (40.1% A, 51.75% B, 9.5% C). 93% of stems had neutral alignment. The mean thinnest cement mantle (P = .237) and incidence of inadequate cement mantle (<2 mm) per zone (P = .431) were comparable between Gruen zones. The cement mantle quality (P = .174) and inadequacy (P > .05) and stem alignment (P = .652) were comparable between obese and nonobese patients.ConclusionsDAA enables correct implantation and effective cementation of straight femoral stems. A high-quality cement mantle can be achieved using DAA even in obese patients.

Subtrochanteric Osteotomy in Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Subtrochanteric osteotomy of the femur (STO) is a valuable corrective procedure in hip surgeries. However, STO in traditional posterolateral approach usually encounters complications such as postoperative dislocation, bone non-union, and prosthesis failure. Some relevant pathologies and mechanisms have been identified, but there is sparse evidence for verification. The aim of this video in orthopaedic technique is to test our hypothesis of STO in direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty in a complicated hip surgery, and to further illustrate the rationality, reproducibility, and superiority of STO in this minimally invasive and enhanced-recovery approach by presenting a standardized and systemic protocol, as well as operational pearls and pitfalls.

A Novel Technique to Detect Femoral Shaft Perforation during Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Despite its popularity, the direct anterior approach for hip arthroplasty is not without complications. Intraoperative femoral shaft perforation using this approach ranges from 0.8% to 7%. A missed perforation can lead to fracture with the need for further surgery if not detected intraoperatively. We describe a reproducible and cost-effective technique using a plastic Yankauer suction handle to help identify proximal femoral perforations during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to the visual, tactile, and auditory feedback provided by the suction handle can help ensure the cortical continuity of the proximal femur. Familiarity with relevant surgical anatomy, improving surgical technique, and scrutinizing implant positioning helps minimize the risk of complications during the direct anterior approach.

Femoral artery injury during total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:There are an increasing number of vascular complications after hip replacement, some of which can be life-threatening. However, there are few reports of lower limb ischemic symptoms after undergoing an otherwise uncomplicated classic total hip replacement. We report a patient with low weight who developed postoperative limb ischemia resulting from blood clots caused by insertion of a Hohmann retractor close to small anterior acetabular osteophytes. Ultrasonography and angiography revealed her symptoms to be the result of femoral artery intimal injury with lower extremity arterial thrombosis, which led to pain, numbness, and decreased skin temperature. The patient underwent timely percutaneous intervention with a femoral artery stent, which relieved her symptoms. The discussion reviews femoral artery injury during total hip arthroplasty.

Femoral artery intimal injury following total hip arthroplasty through the direct anterior approach: a rare but potential complication.

Project description:Vascular injury following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but known complication. Various vascular lesions have been described in the literature, with arterial intimal damage being uncommon. Despite the recent popularity of the direct anterior approach in THA, only 1 case of iatrogenic vascular injury has been reported. We report 3 cases of common femoral artery intimal damage with thrombosis following direct anterior THA. We propose that misplacement of the anterior retractor in this approach, especially in certain susceptible patients, can lead to vascular damage. Therefore, maintaining a step-wise approach to placing the retractor with caution is essential. One of our cases had a delayed presentation of undetectable arterial pulse, highlighting the significance of regular postoperative vascular examinations.

The direct anterior approach for acetabular augmentation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Addressing acetabular bone defects can be difficult and depends on the amount of bone loss. Augments, either with bone or highly porous metals, are options that still allow the use of a hemispherical cup. Almost all previous research and publication on acetabular augments have focused on revision hip arthroplasty utilizing either a modified lateral or a posterolateral surgical approach. We describe 3 cases of augmenting acetabular bone defects through a direct anterior approach for primary total hip arthroplasty. We achieved proper cup placement, alignment, and augment incorporation while reconstructing complex acetabular deficiencies. All patients had complete pain relief and a satisfactory clinical outcome with stable radiographs at follow-up. With appropriate training, acetabular augmentation can be performed safely and efficiently with excellent clinical results through this approach.

Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty With Bulk Femoral Head Autograft in a Patient With Camurati-Engelmann Disease.

Project description:Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED) is an extremely rare, sclerosing bone disorder of intramedullary ossification with only 300 reported cases worldwide. The pathogenesis is related to activating mutations in transforming growth factor beta 1, which results in bilateral, symmetric hyperostosis affecting primarily the diaphysis of long bones. Despite effective pharmacological treatment options, the diagnosis of CED is problematic owning to its rarity and variability of clinical presentation. We present a patient with known CED with advanced early hip osteoarthritis, secondary to underlying hip dysplasia, for which she underwent a successful total hip arthroplasty via a direct anterior approach with the use of bulk femoral head autograft to reconstruct her native acetabulum.
