Supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) versus posterolateral total hip arthroplasty in bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a pilot clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPath) was proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing with possible superior postoperative outcomes to traditional approaches of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Here, we compared the short-term outcomes of staged THA with the SuperPath or through posterolateral approach (PLA) for bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS:Patients with bilateral late-stage ONFH were prospectively recruited from our department from March 2017 to March 2018. Staged bilateral THAs with one side SuperPath and the other side PLA were performed consecutively in the same patients with right and left hips alternating within approaches. The average time interval between the staged THAs was 3?months. Perioperative status (operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay) and postoperative function (range of motion, pain, and hip function) were recorded and compared between the SuperPath and PLA approaches within 12-month postoperatively. RESULTS:Four male patients (age, 51.00?±?4.54; BMI, 21.49?±?1.73) with bilateral alcohol-induced ONFH (Ficat III/IV) were followed up over 12?months postoperatively. Compared with the PLA, the SuperPath yielded shorter incision length (7.62 vs. 11.12?cm), longer operation time (103.25 vs. 66.50?min), more blood loss (1108.50 vs. 843.50?ml), deficient abduction angle of the acetabular cup (38.75° vs. 44.50°), and inferior early-term hip function (Harris hip score, 72.50 vs. 83.25) at 12-month postoperatively. Soft tissue damage, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, postoperative range of motion, and 12-month patient satisfaction were comparable between both approaches. CONCLUSION:The SuperPath may be a minimally invasive technique but the present study shows less favorable short-term outcomes than PLA for total hip arthroplasty in osteonecrosis of the femoral head. More investigations are required to provide convincing favorable evidences of the SuperPath over other traditional THA approaches. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION:The trial was retrospectively registered in https://www.researchregistry.com (No. Researchregistry4993) on July 04, 2019. The first participant was enrolled on March 13, 2017.

Project description:BackgroundSupercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) arthroplasty has been proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing, with possible superior postoperative outcomes compared with conventional approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, previous studies have underlined the shortcomings of conventional THA approaches, including higher dislocation, more blood loss, longer incisions, more tissue damage, and delayed postoperative rehabilitation. In the present study, we compared the short-term outcomes of unilateral THA with those of SuperPath and the mini-incision posterolateral approach (PLA) for hip osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsPatients with unilateral hip OA were prospectively recruited and underwent either SuperPath (SuperPath group) or mini-incision PLA THA (PLA group). Perioperative status [operative time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, soft tissue damage, and length of hospital stay (LOS)], and postoperative function outcomes, including range of motion (ROM), pain visual analog scale (VAS), and Harris Hip Score (HHS), were evaluated and compared between the groups at scheduled time points within 12 months postoperatively.ResultsCompared with the PLA group, the SuperPath group yielded a significantly shorter incision length (7.83 vs. 12.45 cm, P<0.001), longer operative time (102.72 vs. 66.22 min, P<0.001), more blood loss (1,007.38 vs. 844.55 mL, P=0.005), and more soft tissue damage (creatine kinase: 1,056.05 vs. 821.50 U/L, P=0.006) on postoperative day 3. The SuperPath group also showed deficient acetabular cup positioning (abduction angle: 36.94° vs. 42.66°, P=0.004) and a greater decrease in ROM (flexion: 107.66° vs. 114.44°, P=0.004; 109.83° vs. 116.11°, P=0.002; 111.66° vs. 118.88°, P<0.001) on postoperative days 1, 3, and 14, as well as severe early-term pain symptoms (pain VAS on postoperative day 3: 7.05 vs. 6.55, P=0.041). However, the LOS, C-reactive protein levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (within 2 weeks postoperatively), and HHS were comparable between the groups during the 12 months postoperatively.ConclusionsSuperPath may be a promising, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of OA in the future. Further investigation is necessary to evidence the possible superiority of SuperPath over other conventional mini-incision THA approaches.

Project description:BackgroundSupercapsular Percutaneously Assisted total hip arthroplasty (SuperPATH approach) is a relatively new minimal invasive approach which has been associated with encouraging postoperative outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare the minimal invasive (MIS) SuperPATHapproach with the standard modified Hardinge approach at the base of muscle damage due to serum markers, functional results and other perioperative and postoperative data.Material and methodsForty eight (48) consecutive patients undergone primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) by the same surgeon (GD), were enrolled in our study. From this study population, the modified Hardinge approach was performed in 23 patients and the SuperPATH approach was performed in 25 patients. Soft tissue impairment was studied based on three representative markers, C-reactive-protein (CRP) and two enzymes, creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). We measured these markers 10 min after surgery, on 1st and 2nd postoperative day. The levels of the perceived pain were evaluated according to the Visual Analog Scale/Numerical Rating Scale (VAS/NRS) score which was registered 6 h, 12 h, 1 day and 2 days postoperatively. The functional and clinical evaluation of the patients was achieved with Harris Hip Score (HHS), Charnley's Hip score, EuroQol (EQ-5D)-(EQ-100), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and neuropathic pain questionnaire (DN-4) 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. The rest of the collected data included patient's age, gender, body mass index (BMI), other comorbitities, the American Society of Anesthiologists score (ASA), Charlson Index score, the pre-operative diagnosis, implant positioning through radiographic evaluation, the type of anesthesia, the days of hospitalization, the operating time, incision length, blood loss and blood transfusion requirements and complication rates.ResultsSuperPATH approach was related with statistically considerable lower levels of CRP at 10 min (p = 0,001) and at 24 h (p = 0,047) postoperatively, as well as lower LDH levels in all time points postoperatively. It was also associated with shorter incision length (p < 0.001), longer operating time (p < 0.001), higher mean cup inclination p < 0.001, decreased postoperative pain levels the first 6 and 12 h (p < 0.001) and relatively better clinical and functional results 6 months after surgery, but not at 12 months.ConclusionOur study revealed some advantages in favor of the SuperPATH approach comparing with the standard modified Hardinge approach, mainly in terms of less muscle damage and less perceived pain postoperatively. More research is required in order to further elucidate its efficacy.
