چکیده

UNLABELLED Uncemented fixation of implants to bone is a proven technology in traditional hip arthroplasty surgery. However, cement fixation is currently the standard method for the femoral component in hip resurfacing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of uncemented fixation of the femoral component in the first 100 fully porous-coated metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties at a minimum follow-up of 2 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March to October 2007, 100 consecutive uncemented metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties in 95 patients (74 males and 21 females) were implanted by the same surgeon, using bone ingrowth technology for both femoral and acetabular components. The posterior minimally invasive approach was utilized in all cases. The primary diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 72% of cases, but other diagnoses were not excluded for the purposes of this study. The mean femoral component size was 51 ± 4 millimeters, and patients were not excluded for small component size. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 2.9 ± 0.2 years. The mean pre-operative Harris hip score was 57 ± 13 and improved to 96 ± 6 at the final follow-up visit. The mean UCLA activity score was 8 ± 2. There were two failures (2%): one femoral neck fracture at 2 months and one femoral component loosening at 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION The study demonstrated that fully porous-coated femoral resurfacing components have equivalent results to those reported for cemented femoral components at short-term follow-up. This suggests that the femoral head can reliably achieve bone ingrowth into a fully porous-coated femoral component. This encourages us to continue utilizing this bone ingrowth technique as an alternative to cement in this young and active patient group. Long-term follow-up will be needed.

Comparison of fully porous-coated and hybrid hip resurfacing: a minimum 2-year follow-up study.

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of the first 191 fully porous-coated hip resurfacing arthroplasties with 96 hybrid hip resurfacing arthroplasties performed during the same period at a minimum 2-year follow-up to evaluate the initial fixation of uncemented femoral resurfacing components. The results of this study indicate that fully porous-coated femor...

Results of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing dysplasia component in severe acetabular insufficiency: a six- to 9.6-year follow-up.

The dysplasia cup, which was devised as an adjunct to the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing system, has a hydroxyapatite-coated porous surface and two supplementary neutralisation screws to provide stable primary fixation, permit early weight-bearing, and allow incorporation of morcellised autograft without the need for structural bone grafting. A total of 110 consecutive dysplasia resurfacing arthrop...

Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty Using an Extensively Porous Coated Femoral Stem

BACKGROUND To determine the benefit of an extensively porous coated femoral stem in patients receiving revision total hip arthroplasty. METHODS This study reviewed the results of 35 patients who received a revision total hip arthroplasty with extensively porous coated femoral stem between August, 1996, and December, 2002.

Revision hip arthroplasty in patients with a previous total hip replacement for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head are typically relatively young and active and often require high rates of revision after primary total hip arthroplasty. However, outcomes of revision hip arthroplasty in this patient population have rarely been reported in the literature. The authors conducted a retrospective review of 72 patients (75 hips) who underwent revision hip arthroplasty...

Bone density study of the proximal femur after hip arthroplasty with porous-coated implants

Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...
