Long-term results of uncemented acetabular cups with an ACS polyethylene liner. a 14-16-year follow-up study.

ABSTRACT: We assessed the clinical and radiographic results of 40 porous-coated acetabular cups with an Acetabular Cup System polyethylene liner over a minimum 14-year follow-up. Femoral head penetration was estimated using a software package. Fifteen cups were revised, 11 due to polyethylene liner rupture. All cups but two were radiographically stable, and 11 hips showed acetabular osteolysis. The overall femoral head penetration rate in hips without liner fracture with reference to the early penetration point was 0.1188+/-0.070 mm per year. Polyethylene liner fractures were associated with higher early femoral head penetration (P<0.0001) and a vertical cup position (P=0.0016). The 14-year survival without cup revision for any reason was 63.9%, 71.8% with no ACS polyethylene liner fracture and 65.3% with no acetabular osteolysis. Most cups showed a good clinical outcome in general, but major Acetabular Cup System liner failure and osteolysis were frequent. Patients with the ACS cups still in place should be monitored closely.

Acetabular Liner Dissociation: A Comparative Study of Two Contemporary Uncemented Acetabular Components.

Project description:Background:There are a number of reports of polyethylene liner dissociation of third-generation modular acetabular components. This study compares our experience with 2 contemporary systems to determine whether this is an implant- or class-specific problem. Methods:This is a single-center retrospective study of 961 primary total hip arthroplasties using 2 third-generation modular cementless acetabular shells: Pinnacle (535) and R3 (426) with a polyethylene liner. Details of all revisions were obtained from local databases and the New Zealand Joint Registry. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated for all-cause revision, acetabular reoperation (including liner exchange), and liner dissociation. Results:There were 17 revisions in group 1 (Pinnacle; DePuy Synthes): 17 for recurrent dislocation, 6 for liner dissociations (1.12%), 3 for femoral loosening, and one for deep infection. In group 2 (R3; Smith and Nephew), there were 4 revision procedures: one for infection, 2 for dislocation, and one femoral revision for periprosthetic fracture. There were significantly higher proportions revised in group 1 for all-cause revision, acetabular reoperation, and dissociation (P = .024 to 0.038). The 7-year survival for all-cause revision was 96.1% for Pinnacle and 99.0% for R3 (P = .022), and that in the acetabular reoperation group was 96.9% for Pinnacle and 99.3% for R3 (P = .035). Conclusions:There was a higher revision rate for the Pinnacle acetabular component than for the R3 at 7 years. This was mainly due to polyethylene liner dissociation that can occur early or late. It appears to be a problem specific to the Pinnacle cup design rather than a feature of similar third-generation acetabular components.

Early polyethylene wear and osteolysis with ABG acetabular cups (7- to 12-year follow-up).

Project description:We reviewed 81 consecutive ABG I primary total hip replacements implanted in 72 patients between January 1993 and December 1998. The mean follow-up was 8.2 (range 7-12) years. There was significant polyethylene wear and osteolysis associated with the acetabular cup . The cumulative survival of the cup with revision being the end point at 8.2 years was 95.1% (95% CI: 92-97.6%). However, the cumulative survival of the cup with revision and aseptic loosening together was 72% (95% CI: 61-78%) and survival of the acetabular liner for wear was 62% (95% CI: 48-74%). Stem survival with revision being the end point was 100%. In spite of significant radiological failures of the cups, most patients remained asymptomatic. Though results of the ABG stems in this series were good, we advocate a regular follow-up of all these hips in view of the poor outcome of the cups.

Comparison of early migration patterns between a ceramic and polyethylene liner in uncemented Trabecular Titanium cups: a 2-year randomized controlled trial of 52 hips using radiostereometric analysis.

Project description:Background and purposeCeramic liners may reduce early stability of uncemented acetabular components due to higher stiffness. However, the bone ingrowth capacities of porous trabecular titanium might compensate for this effect. This prospective randomized trial quantifies migration patterns of the Delta-TT cup, and compares polyethylene and ceramic liners.Patients and methodsPatients undergoing primary uncemented total hip arthroplasty with the Delta-TT cup and femoral stem with ceramic head were randomized to a polyethylene (n = 25) or ceramic (n = 28) liner. Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) radiographs, patient-reported hip function (HOOS-PS, OHS), and quality of life (EQ5D) were collected at baseline and 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Model-based RSA was used to calculate 3D cup translation and rotation, and mixed models were used to compare effects over time between groups.ResultsAt 2 years follow-up, Delta-TT cups showed similar mean proximal translation of 0.56 mm (95% CI 0.38-0.75) in the ceramic (CE) group and 0.54 mm (0.30-0.77) in the polyethylene (PE) group, with a between group effect of 0.02 mm (-0.20-0.23). Most cup migration occurred in the first 1.5 to 3 months, stabilizing within 6 months. Any between-group effects were ≤ 0.30 mm for translation and ≤ 0.45° for rotation. Improvements in patient-reported hip function and quality of life were similar in both groups.InterpretationRegardless of liner type, Delta-TT cups showed some initial migration and stabilized within 6 months, which seems promising for long-term fixation in both cup-liner constructs.

Early failure of a modern moderately cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liner.

Project description:Modern polyethylene components for total hip arthroplasty have shown excellent long-term wear properties. However, among 204 primary total hip arthroplasty procedures performed by one surgeon using the Exactech Connexion GXL Liner, we identified 5 cases of severe polyethylene wear and osteolysis which occurred within 5 years of the index surgery. Among the 5 cases, all patients had a size 36 head with an acetabular component from size 52 to 56 mm. All patients had a UCLA activity scale score of at least 6 at the time that the osteolysis was detected. The average wear rate was 0.265 mm ± 0.207 mm per year. This review of 5 cases of catastrophic early polyethylene wear demonstrates a concerning trend with the use of the Exactech Connexion GXL liner. Further investigation is warranted to evaluate material characteristics which may have caused this accelerated wear and to prevent recurrences of this complication in the future.

Polyethylene liner dissociation with the Pinnacle acetabular component: should we be concerned?

Project description:Between 2007 and 2018, 535 total hip arthroplasties using the uncemented Pinnacle acetabular component (DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN) and polyethylene liner were implanted in our unit. Of these, 6 patients presented acutely with liner polyethylene dissociation, giving a rate of liner dissociation of 1.11%. All dissociations were atraumatic. Failure occurred at mean 37 months (range 4.5 to 130 months). Radiologically, all acetabular components were within safe zone of abduction and mean anteversion was 10 degrees (range 2-20). In one case, there was posterior impingement against the femoral neck due to femoral malalignment. All patients underwent head and liner exchange with no repeat failures. Despite excellent long-term results, the frequency of dissociated polyethylene liners is a cause of concern with the Pinnacle acetabular component.

Long-term radiographic assessment of cemented polyethylene acetabular cups.

Project description:UNLABELLED: In vitro studies demonstrating excessive wear in polyethylene cups sterilized using gamma irradiation and stored in air led to the abandonment of this sterilization technique. We evaluated the clinical wear performance of a metal femoral component on a polyethylene cup in a hip prosthesis from a selected subset of implants in a group of patients followed for at least 20 years and assessed the time dependency of variation in penetration rates. We measured penetration in 33 polyethylene cups in 25 patients who had a Charnley low-friction arthroplasty between 1982 and 1984. All patients had Charnley Ogee cups implanted for more than 20 years and sterilized using the gamma irradiation in air technique. If degradation occurred over time in vivo, it was not reflected by an increased penetration rate with increasing time in vivo; even after 20 years of implantation, the degree of wear remained low. This suggests gamma irradiation affects wear on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene by reducing wear secondary to the crosslinking, by increasing wear as shown through in vitro studies of heavily oxidized samples, or by oxidation resulting from prolonged shelf life. The effect of progressive oxidation in vivo does not appear to affect wear in vivo. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, therapeutic study. See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The Survivorship of the Uncemented Iso-Elastic Monoblock Acetabular Component at a Mean of 6-Year Follow-up.

Project description:BackgroundAseptic loosening, caused by wear and osteolysis, is the most frequent reason for hip replacement revision in the UK. To prevent aseptic loosening, an acetabular component with vitamin E added to irradiated highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) was developed to reduce oxidative degradation.Questions/purposesA prior study of the vitamin E-blended HXLPE acetabular component after 2 years of follow-up reported no adverse reactions or abnormal mechanical behavior. To further examine this hypothesis of reducing wear and osteolysis, we sought to evaluate outcomes after 6-year follow-up.MethodsA cohort of 95 of the 112 initial patients (84.2%) completed the 6 years of follow-up after receiving a vitamin E-blended HXLPE acetabular component. Evaluation was performed in terms of clinical (visual analog scale [VAS] score, VAS score with weight-bearing, VAS score for satisfaction, and Harris Hip Score) and radiological (inclination, polar gap, radiolucencies, migration, and 2-D linear femoral head penetration rate) assessment.ResultsThe mean VAS score for patient satisfaction was 8.75 and the mean Harris Hip Score was 91.8. There were two revisions because of deep infections and one because of a peri-prosthetic femoral fracture. Two acetabular components migrated initially; however, delayed acetabular stabilization occurred. Both patients had good clinical scores at 72 months. The mean femoral head penetration rate was 0.036 mm/year.ConclusionsThis prospective cohort study has shown no adverse reactions concerning the vitamin E additive, promising wear rates, no signs of osteolysis, a 100% survival rate for aseptic loosening, and an all-cause survivorship percentage of 97.4% at 6 years of follow-up.

Equally good fixation of cemented and uncemented cups in total trapeziometacarpal joint prostheses. A randomized clinical RSA study with 2-year follow-up.

Project description:Background and purposeCup failure is a recognized problem in total trapeziometacarpal (TM) joint prostheses; it may be related to poor fixation, which can be revealed by radiostereometric analysis (RSA). We compared the early implant migration of cemented trapezium cups to that of uncemented screw cups.Patients and methodsIn a prospective, parallel-group, randomized patient-blinded clinical trial, we included 32 hands in 28 patients (5 males) with a mean age of 58 (40-77) years and with Eaton stage-2 or -3 osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint. Patients were randomized to surgery with a cemented DLC all-polyethylene cup (C) (n = 16) or an uncemented hydroxyapatite-coated chrome-cobalt Elektra screw cup (UC) (n = 16). Uncemented cups were inserted without threading of the bone. Stereoradiographs for evaluation of cup migration (primary effect size) and DASH and pain scores were obtained during 2 years of follow-up.ResultsThe 2-year total translation (TT) was similar (p = 0.2): 0.24 mm (SD 0.10) for the C (n = 11) and 0.19 mm (SD 0.16) for the UC (n = 11). Variances were similar (p = 0.4). Judged by RSA, 2 UC cups and 1 C cup became loose (TT > 1 mm). Both UC cups were found to be loose at revision. Grip strength, pain, and DASH scores were similar between groups at all measurement points.InterpretationEarly implant fixation and clinical outcome were equally good with both cup designs. This is the first clinical RSA study on trapezium cups, and the method appears to be clinically useful for detection of loose implants.

2-year results of an RCT of 2 uncemented isoelastic monoblock acetabular components: lower wear rate with vitamin E blended highly cross-linked polyethylene compared to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

Project description:Background and purpose - The long-term survival of arthroplasty components may be limited by polyethylene wear-related problems such as periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening. Highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) blended with vitamin E was introduced to improve oxidative stability and to avoid long-term embrittlement. This study clinically compares the tribological behavior and clinical outcome of vitamin E blended HXLPE with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in an isoelastic monoblock cup for uncemented total hip arthroplasty.Patients and methods - In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), 199 patients were included: 102 patients received the vitamin E blended HXLPE cup, 97 patients the UHMWPE cup. Clinical and radiographic parameters were obtained preoperatively, directly postoperative and at 3, 12, and 24 months. Wear rates were compared using the mean linear femoral head penetration (FHP) rate.Results - 188 patients (94%) completed the 2-year follow-up. Mean patient satisfaction was higher in the vitamin E blended HXLPE group (8.9 [1]) than in in the control group (8.5 [2], p = 0.03). The Harris Hip Score (HHS) was higher in the vitamin E blended HXLPE group (95 [8]) than in the control group (92 [11], p = 0.3). The FHP rate was lower in the vitamin E blended HXLPE group: 0.046 mm/year compared with 0.056 mm/year in the control group (p = 0.05). No adverse reactions associated with the clinical application of vitamin E blended HXLPE were observed during follow-up, with an excellent 2-year survival to revision rate of 98% for both cups.Interpretation - This study shows the superior performance of the HXLPE blended with vitamin E acetabular cup with lower linear femoral head penetration rates and better clinical results compared with the UHMWPE acetabular cup after 2 years.

No superior performance of hydroxyapatite-coated acetabular cups over porous-coated cups.

Project description:Background and purposeHydroxyapatite (HA) coating is believed to improve bone-implant ingrowth and long-term survival of prostheses. Recent studies, however, have challenged this view. Furthermore, HA particles may produce third-body wear and initiate aseptic loosening of implants. We report the performance of HA- and porous-coated acetabular cups in a prospective randomized trial.MethodsThis was an 8-year follow-up study of our previously published prospective randomized study to compare clinical outcomes, survival, periprosthetic bone mineral density, migration, and wear rates of HA- and porous-coated acetabular cups. Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and Ein Bild Roentgen Analyse (EBRA) measurements were used. 100 patients who underwent unilateral cementless total hip arthroplasty were randomized to either porous-coated cups or HA-coated cups. Patients were examined preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 9 months, and also 1, 3, and 8 years after surgery. 81 patients were available for 8-year follow-up, 40 with porous-coated cups and 41 with HA-coated cups.ResultsAge, sex, bone mineral density, and clinical results (Harris hip score) were similar in the 2 groups. The survival, wear, and migration patterns of the cups were also similar in both groups. The results of periprosthetic bone mineral density scans in region of interest 2 was in favor of the porous-coated cups, but there were no differences between the 2 groups in all the remaining regions of interest.InterpretationHA coating had no statistically significant effect on clinical results, survival, wear, or migration at the 8-year follow-up.
