4 . 1 Evolution of Total Hip Arthroplasty : Computer - Assisted , Minimally Invasive Techniques Combined with Alumina Ceramic - Ceramic Bearings
نویسنده
چکیده
Total Hip Arthroplasty was initially introduced as a cemented construct with a metal femoral stem and a polyethylene acetabular component, performed through a transtrochanteric exposure. Over the ensuing thirty years, improvements to total hip arthroplasty have included the advent of uncemented acetabular and femoral components components and the popularization of alternative exposures including the posterior and anterolateral exposures. The potential improvements and potential perils of total hip arthroplasty have accelerated greatly in the very recent past with improvements in bearings, surgical exposures, and computer-assisted techniques all occurring simultaneously. These current surgical procedures barely resemble the conventional procedures that are so well established. The current manuscript reviews personal perspectives on and results of less invasive surgical techniques, computer-assisted techniques, and alumina ceramic-ceramic bearings for total hip arthroplasty.

Fracture of ceramic components as a serious failure after total hip replacement with ceramic-on-ceramic bearings
Introduction Ceramics have been introduced in total hip arthroplasty for several advantages including minimal friction, low wear, biocompatibility, no ageing problems and no problems related to the systemic increases in serum metal concentrations. In the first generation of ceramic components introduced in the 1970’s the risk of fracture was substantial, reaching up to 13.4 %. After introducing...
متن کاملTwo- to 9-year clinical results of alumina ceramic-on-ceramic THA.
From June 1997 to June 2003 we performed 194 total hip arthroplasties on 173 patients using alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearings as part of a prospective United States Food and Drug Administration/Investigational Device Exemption study. The average patient age at surgery was 49.9 years. Minimum followup time was 2 years (mean 4.3 years, range 2-9 years). We evaluated survival rate, implant- and ...
متن کاملAlumina-on-alumina total hip arthroplasty: a concise follow-up, at a minimum of ten years, of a previous report.
We previously reported the five-to-six-year results of the use of third-generation alumina-on-alumina bearings in a consecutive series of 100 primary cementless total hip arthroplasties. This report presents the longer-term outcomes of these same bearings, at a minimum of ten years postoperatively. Eighty-six of eighty-eight hips available for the study retained the original bearings at the tim...
متن کاملRetrieval analysis of squeaking alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearings.
This multicentre study analysed 12 alumina ceramic-on-ceramic components retrieved from squeaking total hip replacements after a mean of 23 months in situ (11 to 61). The rates and patterns of wear seen in these squeaking hips were compared with those seen in matched controls using retrieval data from 33 'silent' hip replacements with similar ceramic bearings. All 12 bearings showed evidence ch...
