Revision of a Tronzo Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Revision total hip arthroplasty presents many challenges in regards to reconstructing or managing large amounts of bone loss and soft-tissue damage. Modern revision components, as well as techniques, have helped to address these challenges; however, the goal of any surgery is to provide the least amount of surgery with the most successful outcome. This case highlights a 74-year-old man with a Tronzo total hip arthroplasty placed over 50 years prior. He presented with subjective hip instability and radiographs demonstrating disassociation of the modular component. In an attempt to avoid more extensive and costly surgery, a custom-made all-polyethylene femoral head was used. This case illustrates the revision of likely one of the few Tronzo total hips remaining and the utility of obtaining a compassionate-use clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to create a custom piece, to minimize potential morbidity and mortality from extensive hip revision surgery.

Project description:BackgroundThe annual number of hip arthroplasties is increasing combined with the aging population worldwide. In accordance with the increasing number of primary hip arthroplasties, the number of revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) is expected to increase. The incidence and burden of revision THAs in the United States and have been reported by registry studies. To identify potential differences according to ethnics and regional practice, it is important to obtain data from East Asia. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of studies on the burden and future projection of revision THA based on a large-scale database in East Asia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate annual incidence and burden of revision THAs and to project the future burden in South Korea.MethodsWe identified primary THAs, primary hemiarthroplasties (HAs) and revision THAs, which were performed from 2010 to 2018, using database of Health Insurance and Review and Assessment (HIRA); nation-wide medical claim system of South Korea. The annual incidence rates (per 100,000) of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA, and the annual burden of revision THA; the number of revision THAs divided by the sum of primary hip arthroplasties and revision THAs, were calculated. The future burden of revision THAs were projected through 2030 using generalized linear model with Quasi-poisson regression.ResultsDuring the 9-year period, the annual incidences of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA increased by 47, 29 and 3%, respectively, while the revision burden decreased from 0.13 to 0.10. Compared to 2018, the annual incidences of primary THA, HA, and revision THA were projected to increase by 7.2, 2.3 and 1.1% per year, respectively, whereas the burden of revision THA was projected to decrease to 0.07 in 2030.ConclusionTrends of revision THA in South Korea were similar with those of national registry studies from the United States. The annual incidence of revision THA has steadily increased, whereas its burden has decreased. Findings of our study could be used for epidemiological comparison between Western countries and East Asia as well as for the establishment of medical policies of revision THA in East Asian countries.
