AIM To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome nineand ten years after short-stemmed, bone preserving and anatomical hip arthroplasty with the MiniHip^(TM) system. METHODS In a prospective study, 186 patients underwent hip arthroplasty with a partial neck preserving short stem(MiniHip^(TM), Corin). Elderly patients were not excluded from this study, thus the mean age at the time of surgery was 59.3 years(range 32 to 82 years). Surgery and the follow-up assessments were performed at two Centers. Up until now, the mean follow-up was 112.5 ± 8.2 mo. The Oxford Hip Score(OHS) and the Hip Dysfunction Osteoarthritis and Outcome Score(HOOS) was assessed pre-and each year after surgery. The clinical follow-up was accompanied by standardized a.p. and axial radiological examinations. Periprosthetic lucencies, hypertrophies within the Gruen zones one to fourteen were assessed. A subsidence of the stem was investigated according to Morray and heterotopic ossifications were assessed according to Brooker.RESULTS The OHS and HOOS improved from 18 ± 3.3 to 46 ± 2.0 and from 30 ± 8.3 to 95 ± 4.6 points, P < 0.001 respectively. There were no differences regarding age, etiology, friction pairings, etc.,(P > 0.05). Two stems were revised due to a symptomatic subsidence four and twelve months postoperatively. Thus, the survivorship for aseptic loosening at nine to ten years was 98.66%. Including one stem revision due to a symptomatic exostosis, bursitis and thigh pain as well as one revision because of a septic stem loosening, the overall survival for the stem with revision for any reason was 97.32%. Besides one asymptomatic patient, radiological signs of a proximal stress-shielding, such as bone resorptions within the proximal Gruen zones, were not noticed. Findings suggesting a distal loading, e.g., bony hypertrophies or bone appositions of more than 2 mm, were also not detected. CONCLUSION Regarding these first long-term results on the MiniHip^(TM), the implant performed exceedingly well with a high rate of survivorship for aseptic loosening. Our radiological results within the Gruen zones support the design rationale of the Minihip to provide a reliable metaphyseal anchoring with the expected proximal, more physiological load transfer. This might minimize or exclude a stress shielding which might be associated with thigh pain, proximal bone loss and an increased risk of aseptic loosening. The MiniHip^(TM) is a reliable partial-neck retaining prosthesis with good a clinical long-term outcome in younger as well as elderly patients.
