Analysis of Failure Cause of Acetabular Components Among Total Hip Replacement Arthroplasties Using RB Wagner Acetabular Cup

چکیده
The total hip arthroplasty using metal on metal articulation with stainless steel was first introduced in 1938 by Wiles and the modification of this articulation with cobalt-chrome has been performed by many other orthopedic surgeons. After the McKee’s report on the poor result as high as 50% of failure rate during 15 years follow-up in 1972, the use of metal on metal articulation was decreased. Metal on metal articulation had a major problem focusing on aseptic loosening which shortened the longevity of the prosthesis. So, second generation metal on metal articulation to reduce polyethylene debris which increased osteolysis and total amount of wear rate was developed. Many authors have reported good results of a new metal on metal articulation consisted with a Cobalt-ChromMolybdenum alloy (Metasul : Sulzer Medica, Submitted: October 16, 2009 1st revision: February 19, 2010 2nd revision: June 9, 2010 3nd revision: June 18, 2010 Final acceptance: June 19, 2010

Survival analysis of the Harris-Galante I acetabular cup.
We reviewed 264 consecutive primary total hip replacements in 244 patients in which the Harris-Galante I porous-coated acetabular component had been used. The mean follow-up was 95 months (69 to 132). In 221 arthroplasties a 32 mm ceramic head had been used, and in the other 43 one of cobalt-chrome alloy. There were 124 women and 120 men with a mean age at operation of 56.8 years (21 to 83). Su...
متن کاملRadiological factors influencing femoral and acetabular failure in cemented Charnley total hip arthroplasties.
We have made a retrospective review of 185 cemented Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed between 1970 and 1974 to determine the relationships between radiological variables and failure of the femoral and acetabular components. We measured the acetabular wear, the orientation of the cup, the thickness and consistency of acetabular and femoral cement mantles, radiolucency and femoral align...
متن کاملPolyethylene wear in cemented metal-backed acetabular cups.
We examined radiographic polyethylene wear in 233 cemented total hip arthroplasties (201 patients) with either a metal-backed or a non-metal-backed acetabular cup. All patients had identical cemented one-piece titanium femoral stems with a femoral head diameter of 28 mm. The mean linear wear rate was 0.11 mm/yr in metal-backed sockets and 0.08 mm/yr in non-metal-backed sockets (p = 0.0002). The...

Lewinnek et al described a safe zone of acetabular component placement in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) to reduce complications. This safe zone is between 10-30 degrees of version and 30-50 degrees of inclination 1 . Callanan et al. reports only 53% of acetabular cups were within Lewinnek’s Safe Zone of optimal cup placement (62% within the abduction safe zone, 79% within the version safe zone)....

OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate short-term results of total hip replacement performed for post-traumatic osteoarthritis and/or femoral head necrosis caused by acetabular fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed 39 arthroplasties due to acetabular fractures on 25 male and 14 female patients during the course of a five-year period. The mean age of the patients was 45 years (range 25 ...
