Diagnoses were osteoarthritis in 233 patients, post traumatic arthritis in 4 patients and rheumatoid arthritis in 22 patients. Knee Scores, using a strict knee scoring scale were 86.4% excellent, 12.3% good, 0.3% fair and 1.0% poor results. Survivorship, using an end point of revision for any mechanical reason (including component loosening, bearing wear and bearing dislocation) was 99.4%. Survivorship for a poor knee score (including persistent pain, loosening, instability and infection was 97.6%. The purpose of the present study is to report the updated results of this same patient cohort at a minimum follow-up of twenty years. Methods: The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 67 years, range 34 to 91 years. A total of 20 patients (22 knees) were still living, with a follow-up of 20 - 30 years (mean 23.47 years). The same strict knee scoring scale and survivorship analysis were used to evaluate patient outcomes at the 20 to 30 years interval. Results: Survivorship, in the current study, using the same end points as in the previous study, was 96.5% at the 20 and 30-year intervals. Late mechanical failure and osteolysis were not identified. Conclusion: This cementless, semi-constrained rotating platform total knee replacement has stood the test of time for more than 20 years and can be considered acceptable for long-term use, in properly selected patients.展开更多

Two independent reviewers evaluated the risk ratios of revision due to any cause, aseptic loosening, infection, and dislocation rate of each implants with a pre-determined form. The risk ratios were pooled separately for clinical trials, cohorts and registers before pooled altogether using fixed-effect model. Meta-regressions were performed to identify the source of heterogeneity. Funnel plots were analyzed. RESULTS Twenty-seven studies comprising 5 clinical trials, 9 cohorts, and 13 registers fulfilled the research criteria and analyzed. Compared to cementless THR, cemented THR have pooled RR of 0.47(95%CI: 0.45-0.48), 0.9(0.84-0.95), 1.29(1.06-1.57) and 0.69(0.6-0.79) for revision due to any reason, revision due to aseptic loosening, revision due to infection, and dislocation respectively. Compared to hybrid THR, the pooled RRs of cemented THR were 0.82(0.76-0.89), 2.65(1.14-6.17), 0.98(0.7-1.38), and 0.67(0.57-0.79) respectively. Compared to hybrid THR, cementless THR had RRs of 0.7(0.65-0.75), 0.85(0.49-1.5), 1.47(0.93-2.34) and 1.13(0.98-1.3).CONCLUSION Despite the limitations in this study, there was some tendency that cemented fixation was still superior than other types of fixation in terms of implant survival.展开更多

Methods: We performed 127 total arthroplasty operations between June 1999 to February 2003 and investigated 49 cementless hip replacements with the Metalcancellous cementless Lubeck Ⅱ system being used in all hips. There were twenty men and twenty-nine women whose mean age at the time of the operation was 60 years (range, 52-81 years). The patients were divided into osteoporosis or normal groups according to the femoral metaphyseal BMD measured preoperatively. The average duration of follow-up was 30 months (range, 8-52 months). We evaluated all of the patients from a clinical standpoint with use of a standard-terminology questionnaire with respect to the short-term curative effects and patients' satisfaction. Hip pain status and functional ability were important indicators of treatment efficacy. Results: Harris hip score and patients' satisfaction in femoral osteoporosis patients who underwent noncemented hip arthroplasty were lower (P=0.004, P=0.03) while the incidence of thigh pain was higher (P=0.03) than the patients with non-osteoporosis. Conclusion: The higher incidence of pain, as well as the decrease in function experienced by the patients in osteoporosis group, supports the case that cementless arthroplasty is not a better choice for those patients and that we had better select prosthesis based on the femoral metaphyseal BMD.展开更多

We included 99 medial UKP in 97 patients and of these UKP, 53 were cemented and 46 were cementless. Clinical outcome was measured using a questionnaire, containing a visual analogue scale(VAS) for pain, Oxford Knee score, Kujala score and SF-12 score. Knee function was tested using the American Knee Society score. Complications, reoperations and revisions were recorded. Statistical significance was defined as a P value < 0.05.RESULTS: In a mean follow-up time of 19.5 mo, three cemented medial UKP were revised to a total knee prosthesis. Reasons for revision were malrotation of the tibial component, aseptic loosening of the tibial component and progression of osteoarthritis in the lateral- and patellofemoral compartment. In five patients a successful reoperation was performed, because of impingement or(sub)luxation of the polyethylene bearing. Patients with a reoperation were significant younger than patients in the primary group(56.7 vs 64.0, P = 0.01) and were more likely to be male(85.7% vs 38.8%, P = 0.015). Overall the cementless medial UKP seems to perform better, but the differences in clinical outcome are not significant; a VAS pain score of 7.4 vs 11.7(P = 0.22), an Oxford Knee score of 43.3 vs 41.7(P = 0.27) and a Kujala score of 79.6 vs 78.0(P = 0.63). The American Knee Society scores were slightly better in the cementless group with 94.5 vs 90.2(P = 0.055) for the objective score and 91.2 vs 87.8(P = 0.25) for the subjective score.CONCLUSION: The cementless Oxford phase III medial UKP shows good short-term clinical results, when used in a specialist clinic by an experienced surgeon.展开更多

Methods: We analyzed frequency spectrum of the hammering sound for 49 cases of uncomplicated cementless THAs using two types of proximal-coated stem performed by experienced surgeons. Normalized sound pressure (NSP) of each 0.5 kHz frequency band in final stage of broach procedure was determined by the fast Fourier transform analysis. The relationships between those sound characteristics and femoral morphology such as canal calcar ratio (CCR), Canal flare index (CFI), morphological cortical index (MCI) and femoral shaft length (FSL) in different cementless stem were investigated. Results: In Accolade 2, CCR was positively related to NSP in several bands [Frequency band (kHz);r: 2.0 - 2.5;0.37, 4.5 - 5.0;0.37, 9.5 - 10.0;0.44], and negatively related to 7.5 - 8.0 kHz (r = -0.39). Negative correlations were observed among CFI and MCI in specific frequency bands (4.5 - 5.0, 5.0 - 5.5, and 7.5 - 8.0 kHz). In Taperloc Microplasty, strong correlations were found between FSL and the NSP of 7.5. - 8.0 kHz (r = 0.78) and CCR and the 7.5 - 8.0 kHz bands. There was significant difference of NSPs between high and low group divided by morphological parameters. Acoustic characteristics of NSPs between Accolade 2 and Microplasty were significantly different in 9 frequency bands. Conclusions: The hammering sound correlated with four parameters of the femoral morphology and differed in different types of proximal-coated stem. Those novel five factors are important to consider when to predict complications using acoustic analysis.展开更多

In order to achieve rotational and axial stability larger implants may be required than originally templated for. This could potentially result in a lar-ger leg length inequality. Our objective was to determine whether there is greater inequality in leg length post-operatively in cementless THA as compared to cemented implants. 136 consecutive patients undergoing elective THA between June 2007 and May 2008 were included. Post-operative digital radiographs were ex-amined to determine leg length. Twenty seven patients (20%) underwent a cemented procedure and 109 (80%) a cementless procedure. In the cemented group the mean leg length discrepancy was 7.3 mm (range 19 mm short to 21 mm long). In the cementless group the mean measured leg length discrepancy was 6.3 mm (range 18 mm short to 23 mm long). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.443). This study shows that with accurate pre-operative templating, both cemented and cementless proce-dures produce comparable and acceptable leg length discrepancies.展开更多

Methods One hundred and two consecutive primary total hip arthroplasties utilizing a circumferential proximal porous coated femoral component and smooth surfaced threaded acetabular were performed in 92 patients. The patients were followed up clinically and radiographically every two years from their third year after surgery. Ten patients (10 hips) died and 14 patients (15 hips) were lost to follow up in three years after surgery. Sixty-seven patients (77 hips) were included in this study. Results The pre-operative Harris hip scores and pain scores were 45 and 15 points. They increased to 89 and 42 points by the third year. These scores decreased to 81 and 42 points in the ninth year and 77 and 37 points in the fifteenth year, respectively. More than 75% of the hips demonstrated good or excellent clinical results in the fifth year and 60% of the hips were rated good to excellent in the seventh to eleventh year. In the fifteenth year, only 50% of the hips had good or excellent results. All femoral components showed stable fixation by bone in-growth. Eight acetabular components were revised, with 5 due to mechanical loosening and 3 for recurrent instability. Thigh pain was documented in 4 hips. ConclusionThe smooth-surfaced threaded acetabular component has a high rate of failure. Circumferential proximal porous coated femoral components provided excellent radiographic results and acceptable clinical outcome with definite bone ingrowth. Patients older than 70 may be suitable candidates for cementless total hip arthroplasty.展开更多

Wear related osteolytic cysts were noted in the tibia and talus surrounding these devices that compromised long term fixation and stability when using standard ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPe) as a bearing material. This study explores the use of highly cross-linked UHMWPe (HXLPe) to minimize osteolysis by replacing standard UHMWPe with this more wear-resistant material. Methods: There were 12 primary and 8 revision total ankle replacements followed for 13 to 15 years. HXLPe was used in all meniscal bearings, either as primary or revision implants. All stable metallic tibial and talar components were retained in revision cases. Osteolytic cysts greater than 10 mm in diameter were bone grafted with homologous morselized banked bone through cortical windows in the tibia or talus. No adjuvant screw fixation was used to stabilize any metallic implant. Results: No HXLPe bearings failed in this study, and no re-revisions were performed. No primary total ankle replacement failed in this study, and there were no substantial osteolytic cysts (>2 mm) observed in primary total ankle replacements on plain X-rays. All bone grafted osteolytic cysts in revision ankle replacements remained stable, even though partial resorption of the grafted material was identified in most of the ankles. No loosening of porous coated and TiN coated tibial and talar components were seen;the longest surviving metal components in the revision group was 24 years with the revised bearing at 15 years. Conclusions: HXLPe has greatly improved wear resistance in meniscal-bearing BP total ankle replacements in both primary and revision arthroplasties. Osteolytic cysts can be successfully bone grafted during bearing exchange revisions. Primary and revision, cementless BP metallic total ankle components have remained well-fixed to bone in the long term (greater than 20 years), without the use of adjuvant screw fixation.展开更多
文摘Background: A previous report evaluated the initial 310 cementless, Buechel-Pappas (B-P), Semi-Constrained Rotating Platform total knee replacements in 257 patients followed for an average of 7.6 years, range 2 - 18 years. Diagnoses were osteoarthritis in 233 patients, post traumatic arthritis in 4 patients and rheumatoid arthritis in 22 patients. Knee Scores, using a strict knee scoring scale were 86.4% excellent, 12.3% good, 0.3% fair and 1.0% poor results. Survivorship, using an end point of revision for any mechanical reason (including component loosening, bearing wear and bearing dislocation) was 99.4%. Survivorship for a poor knee score (including persistent pain, loosening, instability and infection was 97.6%. The purpose of the present study is to report the updated results of this same patient cohort at a minimum follow-up of twenty years. Methods: The average age of patients at the time of surgery was 67 years, range 34 to 91 years. A total of 20 patients (22 knees) were still living, with a follow-up of 20 - 30 years (mean 23.47 years). The same strict knee scoring scale and survivorship analysis were used to evaluate patient outcomes at the 20 to 30 years interval. Results: Survivorship, in the current study, using the same end points as in the previous study, was 96.5% at the 20 and 30-year intervals. Late mechanical failure and osteolysis were not identified. Conclusion: This cementless, semi-constrained rotating platform total knee replacement has stood the test of time for more than 20 years and can be considered acceptable for long-term use, in properly selected patients.

文摘Background: The aim of this study is to identify the factors influence on the broaching hammering sound character during cementless total hip arthroplasty. Methods: We analyzed frequency spectrum of the hammering sound for 49 cases of uncomplicated cementless THAs using two types of proximal-coated stem performed by experienced surgeons. Normalized sound pressure (NSP) of each 0.5 kHz frequency band in final stage of broach procedure was determined by the fast Fourier transform analysis. The relationships between those sound characteristics and femoral morphology such as canal calcar ratio (CCR), Canal flare index (CFI), morphological cortical index (MCI) and femoral shaft length (FSL) in different cementless stem were investigated. Results: In Accolade 2, CCR was positively related to NSP in several bands [Frequency band (kHz);r: 2.0 - 2.5;0.37, 4.5 - 5.0;0.37, 9.5 - 10.0;0.44], and negatively related to 7.5 - 8.0 kHz (r = -0.39). Negative correlations were observed among CFI and MCI in specific frequency bands (4.5 - 5.0, 5.0 - 5.5, and 7.5 - 8.0 kHz). In Taperloc Microplasty, strong correlations were found between FSL and the NSP of 7.5. - 8.0 kHz (r = 0.78) and CCR and the 7.5 - 8.0 kHz bands. There was significant difference of NSPs between high and low group divided by morphological parameters. Acoustic characteristics of NSPs between Accolade 2 and Microplasty were significantly different in 9 frequency bands.

文摘This paper presents a probabilistic approach for studying the reliability of cementless hip prostheses in the presence of mechanical uncertainties and its application to the investigation of the influence of bone-implant interface properties. The non-linear deterministic model of the bone-implant coupled system and its finite element implementation are described, and the proposed reliability analysis is exposed. It is demonstrated that the distribution (uniform, truncated Gaussian and truncated lognormal distribution) of the two chosen parameters and the truncation lengths have a minor influence on the Hasofer-Lind index. This index logically increases as the failure threshold increases. FORM and SORM approximations are compared with the results obtained using a crude Monte-Carlo method for the estimation of failure probability. The performance of three Monte-Carlo methods is studied in terms of the necessary number of FE calculations. The method based on the Directional Simulation (DS) technique is efficient and less time-consuming. The validity and operational capacity of the proposed approach would not be compromised by an increase in the number of uncertain parameters.

文摘目的本研究观察生物型股骨柄应用于全髋关节置换术(total hip arthroplasty,THA)的临床效果,并探究影像学上生物型股骨柄的沉降情况。方法纳入2019年10月至2020年10月在西安交通大学附属红会医院关节中心行THA的124例患者(136髋),其中男性56髋,女性80髋;平均年龄(53.0±12.5)岁,收集纳入研究病例的术前及术后随访时的疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analog scale,VAS)、Harris髋关节功能评分(Harris hip score,HHS)、生存质量评分(12-item short form health survey,SF-12)、伤口愈合情况、假体松动、感染及翻修等并发症的发生率;术后第1天、1个月、3个月、6个月、1年随访时分别拍摄骨盆正位X线片,并测量股骨柄沉降数据。结果术后1个月、3个月、6个月、1年随访时VAS、HSS及SF-12评分均较术前明显改善,且VAS评分在术后3个月以后无显著变化,HHS评分术后6个月以后无显著变化,SF-12在术后1年内呈逐渐提高趋势。术后1个月时有2例伤口浅表愈合不佳,给予清创缝合后均愈合,术后1年随访期间内,未发生假体松动、感染等并发症。术后3个月内生物型股骨柄有沉降发生,其中术后1个月平均沉降(0.46±2.63)mm,术后3个月沉降(1.15±2.77)mm,3个月后未再发生假体下沉。结论生物型股骨柄在THA术中应用可以获得良好的临床效果,生物型股骨柄在术后前3个月内确有沉降发生,但沉降量不会增加早期手术失败风险。
文摘Background: The Buechel-Pappas (BP) meniscal bearing total ankle replace-ment was initially developed as a “shallow-sulcus” talar component device using cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, in 1978, and later, modified to a “deep-sulcus” talar component device using titanium nitride (TiN) ceramic and porous coating in 1989. Wear related osteolytic cysts were noted in the tibia and talus surrounding these devices that compromised long term fixation and stability when using standard ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPe) as a bearing material. This study explores the use of highly cross-linked UHMWPe (HXLPe) to minimize osteolysis by replacing standard UHMWPe with this more wear-resistant material. Methods: There were 12 primary and 8 revision total ankle replacements followed for 13 to 15 years. HXLPe was used in all meniscal bearings, either as primary or revision implants. All stable metallic tibial and talar components were retained in revision cases. Osteolytic cysts greater than 10 mm in diameter were bone grafted with homologous morselized banked bone through cortical windows in the tibia or talus. No adjuvant screw fixation was used to stabilize any metallic implant. Results: No HXLPe bearings failed in this study, and no re-revisions were performed. No primary total ankle replacement failed in this study, and there were no substantial osteolytic cysts (>2 mm) observed in primary total ankle replacements on plain X-rays. All bone grafted osteolytic cysts in revision ankle replacements remained stable, even though partial resorption of the grafted material was identified in most of the ankles. No loosening of porous coated and TiN coated tibial and talar components were seen;the longest surviving metal components in the revision group was 24 years with the revised bearing at 15 years. Conclusions: HXLPe has greatly improved wear resistance in meniscal-bearing BP total ankle replacements in both primary and revision arthroplasties. Osteolytic cysts can be successfully bone grafted during bearing exchange revisions. Primary and revision, cementless BP metallic total ankle components have remained well-fixed to bone in the long term (greater than 20 years), without the use of adjuvant screw fixation.
