Standardizing terms for tribocorrosion-associated adverse local tissue reaction in total hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: Recognizing and adopting standardized terms for adverse local tissue reaction associated with tribocorrosion in total hip arthroplasty are essential for clear scientific discourse and clinical communication. Our goal was to develop terms that can be broadly applied to characterize the local tissue response to tribocorrosion debris, based on current evidence regarding the etiology of this failure mode and its consequences. The proposed standardized terms will improve the understanding and interpretation of analytical tests, advance diagnostic and treatment algorithms, and reduce confusion in research by maintaining consistent nomenclature.

What Surgeons Need to Know About Adverse Local Tissue Reaction in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) were first associated with patients with failed metal-on-metal surface replacements and total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, an increasing number of cases of ALTR in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) THA patients is being reported. Clinically, ALTR appears as benign, aseptic masses or bursae in the periprosthetic tissues. Histopathologically, ALTRs are distinguished by an intense lymphocyte infiltrate, destruction of the synovial surfaces, widespread necrosis, and fibrin exudate. Tribocorrosion of modular junctions appears to be the cause of ALTR in MOP patients. The various tribocorrosion damage modes occurring at modular junctions produce metal ions and a diversity of particulates in relation to size, chemical composition, and structure. The mechanisms by which these various products of tribocorrosion lead to ALTR are still a matter of considerable research. This review clarifies what constitutes ALTR, its relationship to implant factors, and highlights current methods for diagnosis and management of patients with ALTR in the setting of MOP THA.

Metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty adverse local tissue reaction with intermittent unilateral vascular claudication.

Project description:Osteolysis and adverse local soft-tissue reactions are well-documented complications of metal-on-metal prosthetic implants. This case report describes a 68-year-old man who presented to the clinic 10 years after staged bilateral metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty revisions with the primary complaint of groin pain, intermittent right leg pain, swelling, and muscle cramping while ambulating that resolved with rest. A complete workup was negative for deep venous thrombosis and infection. His symptoms were found to be secondary to an iliopsoas bursal mass externally compressing the femoral vasculature resulting in vascular claudication. He was treated with revision arthroplasty and drainage of the fluid within the iliopsoas bursal effusion with symptomatic resolution.

Corrosion and adverse local tissue reaction after total hip arthroplasty with a modular titanium alloy femoral neck.

Project description:This report describes a case of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion and secondary adverse local tissue reaction in a patient following a total hip arthroplasty, utilizing a modular neck (bi-modular) femoral component. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated a well-positioned, stable, cementless arthroplasty. Upon further evaluation, the patient had elevated serum cobalt and chromium levels, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a periprosthetic pseudotumor. Corrosion of both the neck-stem and head-neck junctions was suspected. At the time of surgery, the neck-body junction was pristine; however, the head-neck junction of the implant demonstrated severe corrosive wear, a problem that has been reported only once previously with this particular bi-modular implant. This serves as a reminder that any modular junction may be susceptible to corrosion and not all bi-modular designs behave similarly.

Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Associated With Ceramic-On-Metal Bearing Surface in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: Report of Two Cases.

Project description:Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures worldwide. At the same time, it is constantly evolving, and as a consequence, advances in implant technology have led to significant improvements in the different materials of the acetabular and femoral components. The selection of bearing surfaces and their tribology are critical to achieving a successful outcome. Pseudotumors are important, and usually misdiagnosed, complications associated with hard bearing surfaces such as metal-on-metal couples. They belong to a group of reactions called adverse local tissue reaction, which can occur in the vicinity of any THA. We present 2 cases of adverse local tissue reaction associated with the use of ceramic-on-metal bearings surfaces in 2 primary THAs that were treated with modular component exchange during single-stage revision surgery.Level of evidenceIV.

An Atypical Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Seen With Metal-On-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty Utilizing Polyethylene Liners With Metal Inlays.

Project description:Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) is a frequently described, although uncommon, complication of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty. Here in we report on 2 patients with unique metal-inlay polyethylene liners who suffered from ALTR that required revision arthroplasty. In 2 of 3 cases the femoral trunnion was noted to have minimal corrosion and the stem was salvaged with a titanium adapter. In one case there was catastrophic femoral stem failure and an extended trochanteric osteotomy was required to remove the unique lateral flare stem. The surgeon must pay special attention when scrutinizing radiographs to identify a metal inlay polyethylene liner and when performing revision arthroplasty to prevent greater trochanter fracture in a patient who likely already has compromised abductor function due to ALTR.

Synovial Fluid Metal Ion Levels are Superior to Blood Metal Ion Levels in Predicting an Adverse Local Tissue Reaction in Failed Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Project description:BackgroundAdverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) are associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure in patients with metal-on-metal bearings and/or taper corrosion, which can also occur in metal-on-polyethylene articulations. Patients are monitored with blood cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) concentrations which do not always correlate with the degree of soft tissue reaction at revision THA. The purpose of this study was to determine how the blood and prosthetic hip synovial fluid levels of Co and Cr correlate with one another, and determine which concentration is more predictive of ALTR.MethodsSynovial fluid and blood samples were collected at the time of revision THA in patients with (n = 26) and without ALTR (n = 27). Whole blood, serum, and synovial fluid metal ion concentrations were correlated with one another and clinical findings.ResultsThe ratio of synovial fluid to whole blood Co concentration in ALTR and non-ALTR hips was 120:1 and 18:1 (P = .006). The mean ratio of synovial fluid to whole blood Cr concentration in ALTR and non-ALTR hips was 414:1 and 24:1 (P = .01). The mean synovial fluid Co/Cr concentrations were elevated in patients with ALTR compared with those without (2007.3 vs. 12.4 ppb, P = .007) and (3188.2 vs. 10.3 ppb, P = .02). The synovial fluid Co concentration was the most accurate test for detecting ALTR (cut off: 19.75 PPB, AUC 0.973).ConclusionIn patients with ALTR, synovial fluid Co and Cr levels were 120 times higher and 414 times higher than whole blood Co and Cr levels. Synovial fluid Co ion concentration was the most accurate in predicting ALTR.Level of evidenceDiagnostic level II.

Late Hematogenous Total Hip Infection After Revision for Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion With Adverse Local Tissue Reaction.

Project description:Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion-bore junction of a total hip arthroplasty may cause adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) with inflammatory reaction and tissue necrosis. Complications, including acute infection, continued pain, and instability, are therefore common after a revision surgery for MACC. We now present 2 cases of late hematogenous bacterial infection years after revision for MACC and ALTR, a previously unreported outcome in this population. We hypothesize that MACC-induced tissue necrosis does not heal over time, and some patients with metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty treated for ALTR are at long-term risk of hematogenous bacterial infection.

Adverse Reaction to Zirconia in a Modern Total Hip Arthroplasty with Ceramic Head.

Project description:Hypersensitivity reactions to zirconia (ZrO2) or similar ceramics is highly unusual. Owing to the stable oxide formed between the base metal and oxygen, ceramics are considered relatively biologically inert. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 50-year-old woman with a 5-year history of progressively worsening right hip pain who underwent a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement and subsequently developed hypersensitivity reaction. After metal allergy testing showed her to be highly reactive to zirconium, the femoral head was revised to a custom titanium implant and her symptoms resolved.

Total hip replacement failure due to adverse local tissue reaction from both ceramic abrasive wear and trunnion corrosion.

Project description:The most common sources for metal ions after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are the bearing surface in metal-on-metal articulations and trunnion corrosion. Concomitant dual interface failure is an uncommon complication in metal-on-polyethylene THA. We report an unusual case of a 59-year-old woman with ceramic-on-ceramic THA in 2005, who underwent revision to metal-on-polyethylene THA 4 years later after femoral head fracture. Subsequently, she developed substantial adverse local tissue reaction and significant metal ion elevation and the failure was found to be due to both wear at the bearing surface and corrosion at the head neck junction requiring second revision. Findings included massive adverse local tissue reaction, abductor mechanism destruction, osteolysis, and corrosion damage of the trunnion. Abrasive damage of the trunnion was also noted, but prior abrasion from the original ceramic fracture could not be ruled out. Postoperative course at 14 months demonstrates 95% and 64% reduction in cobalt and chromium levels respectively, with symptom resolution.

Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty Associated with Adverse Local Tissue Reaction and Pseudoaneurysm of the Superior Gluteal Artery: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) and pseudoaneurysm formation are rare but known complications following metal-on-metal hip total hip arthroplasty (THA). We report the first known case in the English literature of a concurrent unilateral ALTR and pseudoaneurysm of the superior gluteal artery in the same patient. Following minimal rise in serum metal ions, an ultrasound of the right hip demonstrated an avascular solid/cystic lesion anterolaterally in keeping with an ALTR. More posterolaterally, a second discrete thick-walled cystic lesion was identified. Doppler interrogation demonstrated a "yin yang" pattern suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of an anterolateral periarticular lesion with a second discrete lesion within the gluteus medius. Subsequent computed tomography angiography confirmed the presence of arterial contrast blush within the posterior gluteal lesion adjacent to the superior gluteal artery. The patient remains asymptomatic and is being managed conservatively. We review the imaging characteristics of ALTR and pseudoaneurysm occurring post-THA. When a complex solid/cystic lesion is encountered in a patient with a THA, radiologists must ensure that the lesion is interrogated with color Doppler to confidently distinguish a pseudotumor from a pseudoaneurysm. This information is vital to the surgeon to avoid unexpected hemorrhage if revision joint replacement surgery is being contemplated.
