Project description:We present a case report of the rare complication of a femoral head prosthesis eroding through the acetabular liner and shell resulting in a clinical presentation of pseudo-dislocation. The patient presented with a 1-month history of progressive anterior and peritrochanteric hip pain without antecedent trauma. Radiographs demonstrated presumed hip dislocation with superior-posterior superimposition of the femoral head over the acetabular component. The patient underwent revision total hip arthroplasty with intraoperative evidence of extensive metallosis, osteolysis, and femoral head erosion through the acetabular polyethylene liner, acetabular shell, and implantation into the ilium. The femoral stem and acetabular shell were well-fixed, allowing for filling of the defect with bone void filler and cementation of a new polyethylene liner into the acetabular shell.

Project description:ObjectiveTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently the best option for management of advanced knee arthritis for patients who have exhausted conservative management. There have been significant implant design improvements and this is a continuing process to help the surgeon replicate patient anatomy and kinematics. Amongst the many variables in implantation to achieve a well-functioning TKA, getting optimal femoral component sizing is one. Every implant system has certain discreet implant sizes and the surgeon has to strive to obtain the best fit possible for the patient and attain a well aligned and stable TKA. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of various femoral component sizes being implanted with a system which has 2.5 mm antero-posterior increment between sizes, and to assess the incidence of anterior femoral notching when using a posterior referencing system.Materials and methodsA retrospective analysis of 739 TKAs implanted in 532 patients between January 2013 and January 2016 at a single center using a single posterior stabilized implant system was done. Patient demographics and femur component size used was obtained from hospital patient records. Immediate post-operative radiographs were analyzed to look for anterior femoral notching and presence of this was classified according to Tayside classification. A telephonic follow up at minimum 2 tears post-surgery was done to interview for occurrence of supracondylar femur fracture or revision for any other causes.ResultsThere were 207 bilateral and 325 unilateral TKAs performed in 532 patients during the study period. There were 245 males and 287 females with an average age of 61.3 years (43-81 years, SD = 7.2). The most commonly used femoral component was 60 mm and an intermediate size prosthesis was used in 43.11% patients. The incidence of femoral notching ranged from 0 to 6.3%. No patient had sustained a supracondylar condylar fracture at minimum 2 years follow up.ConclusionThe availability of a larger number of femoral components in a TKA system allows the surgeon the modularity to choose and obtain the best fit possible. Restoration of posterior condylar offset, preventing anterior notching, medio-lateral overhang and patellofemoral joint stuffing are greatly dependent on correct femoral component sizing. The findings from our study underscore the need to use an implant system with as many femoral size options as possible with lesser increments in between sizes to minimize anterior femoral notching when using a posterior referencing technique.

Project description:Between December 1996 and April 2003, 26 consecutive femoral component revisions in 24 patients were performed with an extensively hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem. Two patients were lost to follow-up, and two patients died of unrelated causes. Of the 22 femoral revisions in 20 patients, there was a 0% incidence of mechanical loosening at average follow-up of 3.2 years (2-6.3 years). The Harris Hip Score improved from 59 (36 to 83) to 95 (84 to 100) postoperatively (p < 0.001). Rate of revision was 18.2% (4.5% for sepsis, 9.1% for instability, and 4.5% for polyethelene wear). All 22 femoral components had evidence of bone ingrowth. The extensively coated hydroxyapatite stem in this series produced excellent clinical results with a low incidence of thigh pain (4.5%) and severe stress shielding (4.5%).

Project description:Revision of a failed acetabular component in the presence of an intact femoral prosthesis comprises approximately 20% of revision total hip replacements performed by the senior author. During this procedure, the femoral trunnion is at risk of damage because of scratching from retractors, reamers, or other instruments. Scratching can result in mechanically assisted crevice corrosion or adverse local-tissue reaction or trunnionosis leading to implant failure. We have used a variety of techniques for protection of the femoral taper over the last 30 years. We describe our current method of taper protection, using a cut segment of #5 silicon laryngeal airway, which is a simple and effective method.

Project description:With the recent increase in the use of hip arthroscopy, revision hip arthroscopy also has become more prevalent; nevertheless, it is often complex, and many factors should be considered to achieve a satisfactory clinical outcome. Labral reconstruction or augmentation technique is used in cases of severely deficient acetabular labral tissue to restore the fluid seal mechanism. In cases of previous over-resection of cam impingement, the remplissage technique, used to restore the bony defect of the femoral head-neck junction and preserve the joint seal, is an established technique that has been recently reported in the hip with the use of iliotibial band with the same aim as in the shoulder, filling in of the defect due to healing of the soft tissue to the underlying bony impression. We aim to describe a labrum reconstruction in combination with a remplissage of the femoral head-neck junction with a dermal graft in a patient with recurrent hip pain after hip scope. This combination may improve hip stability and reduced pain after failed hip scope.

Project description:Background Acetabular retention in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be advantageous, yet long-term survival data is limited. Thus, we investigated long-term survivorship of retained acetabular components in revision THA with analysis of rerevision rate, instability risk, and clinical outcomes. Methods We reviewed 98 hips with polyethylene wear and/or osteolysis that were revised with retained acetabular components. Acetabular inclination and anteversion were measured from prerevision radiographs. A retrospective chart review was performed, collecting outcomes of interest including Harris hip score, instability events, and rerevision surgery. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the risk of revision over time. Predictors of survival including acetabular component position were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results Average follow-up was 13 years (range, 5-24). Survivorship rates at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 89.7%, 81.6%, 70.8%, and 63.8%, respectively. There was improvement in average Harris hip score (61 to 76, P < .0001). There was a 9% rate of dislocation, and 6 hips (6%) were rerevised for recurrent instability. Overall, there were 23 (23%) rerevisions at an average of 6.1 years with the most common reasons being instability (6%) and aseptic loosening (6%). Use of conventional polyethylene was the only identified independent predictor of rerevision (P = .025). Conclusions Retention of a well-fixed acetabular component in revision THA provides acceptable long-term outcomes with a 15-year survivorship of 71%. Instability and aseptic loosening were the most common reasons for rerevision. Surgeons may consider retaining the acetabular component at revision surgery if the implant is well-fixed and well-positioned.

Project description:Revision hip arthroplasty is a frequently performed procedure and is projected to increase annually. Removal of a well-fixed acetabular component can involve loss of much needed bone stock. Contemporary instruments allow acetabular removal with minimal morbidity; however, their use requires accurate knowledge of the component size. We describe a technique that allows sizing to be determined accurately, without specialized equipment, in situations where component details are unavailable. Our technique multiplies ratio of head:cup on pre-operative X-ray by the diameter of the index femoral head which is removed intra-operatively to predict index cup size. This novel surgical technique appears accurate in prediction of cup size to guide explant in revision hip arthroplasty.

Project description:Background:Periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is usually associated with a traumatic event and typically treated with fracture fixation techniques. However, we report on a series of patients with early atraumatic condyle fractures that occurred as a result of insufficiency of the unloaded preoperative femoral condyle treated with delayed reconstruction. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed a series of 7 patients who sustained femoral condyle fractures following TKA and evaluated risk factors for insufficiency. Results:There were 6 females and 1 male with an average age of 65.5 (range, 63-75) years and an average body mass index of 29.4 (range, 27-32). Fracture occurred on average 24.9 days from the index surgery and secondary to a low energy mechanism. Five patients had valgus alignment (mean, 15.2°) preoperatively and sustained fracture of the unloaded medial femoral condyle. Two patients had varus alignment (mean, 7.0°) preoperatively and both fractured the unloaded lateral condyle. One patient underwent early intervention requiring distal femoral replacement secondary to femoral bone loss. The remaining 6 patients underwent delayed surgery for an average of 6 weeks to allow for fracture healing followed by femoral component revision. At last follow-up (average, 48.5 months), 1 patient required a tibial component revision; however, no revision of the femoral component was required. Conclusions:Early femoral condyle insufficiency fractures following TKA may be a risk in females with poor bone quality and preoperative valgus alignment. Delayed surgery and femoral component revision is a treatment strategy that prevented the need for other tertiary reconstruction.

Project description:BackgroundInstability is a common indication for revision after total knee arthroplasty. Replacement of multiple components is the current standard, but isolated polyethylene liner exchange (IPE) may present a less-morbid alternative. This study aims to determine (1) whether IPE results in similar rerevision frequency to component revision in select patients with symptomatic instability and (2) the effect of increasing constraint on the outcome.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 117 patients revised for symptomatic total knee arthroplasty instability from January 2016 to December 2017. The component revision (60 patients) or IPE (57 patients) cohorts were further stratified based on whether constraint was increased or not. The primary objective was to compare rerevision rates 2 years after component revision vs IPE. The secondary objectives consisted of evaluating reasons for rerevision, preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome measures, and range of motion.ResultsThe rerevision rate was 18%, with no statistical difference between component and IPE cohorts. Cases where level of constraint increased due to revision, a significantly lower rate of rerevision was detected (9 of 77) (12%) than in cases where constraint did not increase (12 of 39) (31%) (P=0.012). This association was also noted in the component revision cohort but not in the IPE cohort (P=0.011).ConclusionsRerevision occurred at similar frequencies 2 years after IPE or component revision for total knee arthroplasty instability. For component revision, increased constraint was associated with significantly fewer rerevisions.
