Failure of acetabular cups influenced by marker wire anchorage.

چکیده
Failure of an acetabular cup is uncommon and has been attributed to wear or creep, trauma or bony irregularities in the acetabulum. We report ten cases in which fracture of the cup occurred at the site of drill holes used to anchor the marker wire. The role of such indentations as stress raisers has not been previously reported; we suggest that deep indentations or grooves should not be placed in the most highly stressed areas and that the cup thickness should allow for predicted wear rates.

متن کاملAutomated assessment of polyethylene wear in cemented acetabular components using anteroposterior radiographs of total hip replacements
Polyethylene wear in the acetabular components of hip prostheses is implicated in loosening and failure. Radiographic measurement of wear is used to identify patients at risk and to assess prosthesis designs. This paper focuses on analysis of prostheses with cemented acetabular cups from anteroposterior (AP) radiographs. The articular surface of the femoral head and the acetabular rim marker ar...
متن کاملAn experimental study of axial load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts using axially split embedment apparatus
The load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. The cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. Tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. The tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...
متن کاملA technique to remove a well-fixed titanium-coated rm acetabular cup in revision hip arthroplasty
A major concern during revision hip arthroplasty is acetabular bone loss and bleeding during the extraction of well-fixed cementless acetabular cup, because no interface exists between the host bone and the cup. Forceful removal of such component using curved gouges and osteotomes often leads to extended bone loss and compromises reimplantation of a new socket. In the following case report, we ...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Templating for Acetabular Component Alignment During Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Appropriate placement of the acetabular cup is an important determinant of implant stability and longevity. Malposition of acetabular cups negatively influences prosthesis survival and leads to an increased dislocation rate. The objective of the study was to determine the role of 3-dimensional templating in obtaining accurate acetabular component placement in total hip arthroplasty. In this com...
