Design-related risk factors for revision of primary cemented stems

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Even small design variables of the femoral stem may influence the outcome of a hip arthroplasty. We investigated whether design-related factors play any role in the risk of non-aseptic revision of the 3 most frequently used primary cemented stem designs in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 71,184 primary cemented femoral stem implants (21,008 Exeter polished stems, 43,036 Lubinus SPII stems, and 7,140 Spectron EF Primary stems) that were inserted from 1999 through 2006. Design-specific characteristics were analyzed using separate Cox regression models that were adjusted for sex, age, diagnosis, incision, and number of operations (first vs. second). RESULTS The crude revision rate varied between 0.8% (Lubinus SPII) and 1.4% (Spectron Primary). For the Exeter stem, the smallest femoral head diameter (22 mm) was associated with a higher risk of revision. No other design-specific parameters influenced the risk of revision of the Exeter stem. The smallest Lubinus stem size, a stem with extended neck length combined with a femoral head with increasing neck length, or the use of a cobalt-chromium head had a negative influence on the outcome. For the Spectron stem, the risk of revision was elevated for the smallest stem and for increasing offset calculated as the combined effect of high offset design and increasing neck length. INTERPRETATION Overall revision rates were low, but for two of the stems studied design factors such as size and neck length or offset influenced the risk of non-aseptic revision.

A modular cementless stem vs. cemented long-stem prostheses in revision surgery of the hip
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Modular cementless revision prostheses are being used with increasing frequency. In this paper, we review risk factors for the outcome of the Link MP stem and report implant survival compared to conventional cemented long-stem hip revision arthroplasties. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used data recorded in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register. 812 consecutive revisions with ...
متن کاملUncemented and cemented primary total hip arthroplasty in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Since the introduction of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Sweden, both components have most commonly been cemented. A decade ago the frequency of uncemented fixation started to increase, and this change in practice has continued. We therefore analyzed implant survival of cemented and uncemented THA, and whether the modes of failure differ between the two methods of fixati...

Obtaining rigid prosthesis fixation in bone loss can be a significant challenge during revision total knee replacement (TKR).1 Stemmed prosthetic components off load stresses at the damaged metaphyseal interfaces, bypass bone defects, and provide additional prosthetic surface area for fixation.1-4 Relatively little longterm data exists documenting the durability of stemmed revision TKR and cont...
متن کاملIs stem design important in uncemented total hip replacement to decrease subsidence in obese patients?
© Annals of Joint. All rights reserved. Ann Joint 2017;2:50 aoj.amegroups.com There has been a world-wide trend towards cementless total hip replacement (THR) over the last 20 years (1). One of the primary reasons for the introduction of the cementless stem was to improve the outcome in younger, more active patients, particularly males. The New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) has shown a revision...

AIMS The goals of this study were to define the risk factors, characteristics, and chronology of fractures in 5417 revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs). PATIENTS AND METHODS From our hospital's prospectively collected database we identified all patients who had undergone a revision THA between 1969 and 2011 which involved the femoral stem. The patients' medical records and radiographs wer...
