Background

Cortical strut allografts restore bone stock and improve postoperative clinical scores after revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, use of a cortical strut allograft is implicated in delayed healing of an extended trochanteric osteotomy (ETO). To date, there are no reports directly comparing ETO with or without cortical strut allografts.

Methods

We reviewed prospectively gathered data on 50 revision THAs performed from 2004-2014 using an ETO. We compared the demographic, radiological, and clinical outcome of patients with (16 hips) and without (34 hips) cortical strut allograft after an ETO.

Results

There were no significant differences in Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index or Harris Hip Score between the ETOs with and without a cortical strut allograft. Fifteen of the ETOs (94%) with a cortical strut allograft and 31 of the ETOs (91%) without a cortical strut allograft were in situ at final follow-up (P = 1.000). A higher proportion hips with cortical strut allograft (100%, 16 patients) had preoperative Paprosky grade bone loss more than IIIA compared to those without allograft (29%, 10 patients) (P < .001). There were no differences in femoral stem subsidence (P = .207), alignment (P = .934), or migration of the osteotomized fragment (P = .171). Fourteen of the ETOs (88%) in patients with cortical strut allograft united compared to 34 ETOs (100%) in patients without allograft (P = .095).

Conclusion

Our study shows that the use of cortical strut allograft during revision THA with ETO does not reduce the rate of union, radiological or clinical outcomes.  相似文献

Background

There are limited studies to evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of alumina delta ceramic-on-ceramic bearings in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results, prevalence of osteolysis, squeaking, and fracture of ceramic material associated with the use of the alumina delta ceramic-on-alumina delta ceramic bearing in cementless THA in patients aged <50 years.

Methods

We reviewed the cases of 277 patients (334 hips) who underwent a cementless THA using alumina delta ceramic-on-alumina delta ceramic when they were 50 years or younger at the time of surgery. Demographic data; Harris Hip Score; Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index; and University of California, Los Angeles activity score were recorded. Radiographic and computerized tomographic evaluations were used to evaluate implant fixation and osteolysis. Squeaking sound and ceramic fracture were documented. The mean follow-up was 7.8 years (range, 6-9).

Results

The mean postoperative Harris Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score, University of California, Los Angeles activity score were 93 points, 15 points, and 8.6 points, respectively. Two patients had thigh pain (grade 7 points). All acetabular components and all but 2 femoral components were well fixed. Thirty-three hips (10%) exhibited clicking sound, and 2 hips (0.6%) exhibited squeaking sound. No hip had osteolysis or ceramic head or liner fracture.

Conclusion

Our minimum 6-year follow-up results with the use of alumina delta ceramic-on-alumina delta ceramic bearings in patients aged <50 years suggest that cementless THA provides a high rate of survivorship without evidence of osteolysis or fracture of ceramic material.  相似文献

Background

There is risk of junction failure when using modular femoral stems for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), especially with loss of bone stock in the proximal femur. Using a cortical strut allograft may provide additional support of a modular femoral construct in revision THA.

Methods

We reviewed prospectively gathered clinical and radiographic data for 28 revision THAs performed from 2004 to 2014 using cementless modular femoral components with cortical strut allograft applied to supplement proximal femoral bone loss: 5 (18%) were fluted taper designs and 23 (82%) were porous cylindrical designs All the patients had a Paprosky grade IIIA or greater femoral defect. The mean follow-up was 5.4 ± 3.9 years.

Results

The Harris Hip Scores improved from 26 ± 10 points preoperatively to 71 ± 10 points at final follow-up (P < .001). The Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores improved from 45 ± 12 points preoperatively to 76 ± 12 points at final follow-up (P < .001). Eighty-nine percent (25 hips) of all revision or conversion THAs were in place at final follow-up. Three (11%) patients underwent reoperations, 2 for infection and 1 for periprosthetic fracture. There was no statistical significant change in femoral component alignment (P = .161) at final follow-up. Mean subsidence was 1.8 ± 1.3 mm at final follow-up. Femoral diameter increased from initial postoperative imaging to final follow-up imaging by a mean of 9.1 ± 5.1 mm (P < .001) and cortical width increased by a mean of 4.5 ± 2.2 mm (P < .001). Twenty-seven hips (96%) achieved union between the cortical strut allograft and the host femur.

Conclusion

The use of a modular femoral stem in a compromised femur with a supplementary cortical strut allgraft is safe and provides satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was to identify the long-term durability of the Kerboull-type reinforcement device (KT plate) in acetabular reconstruction for massive bone defects, assessing the remodeling of structural bone grafts.

Methods

This study retrospectively evaluated 106 hips that underwent acetabular reconstruction using a KT plate between November 2000 and December 2010. Thirty-eight primary total hip arthoplasties (THAs) and 68 revised THAs were performed, and the mean duration of clinical follow-up was 8 years (5-14 years). Regarding reconstructing the acetabular bone defects, autografts were used in 37 hips, allografts in 68 hips, and A-W glass ceramics in 2 hips.

Results

One hip exhibited radiological migration and no revision for aseptic loosening. The mean Merle d'Aubigné Clinical Score improved from 7.5 points (4-12 points) preoperatively to 10.9 points (9-18 points) at the last follow-up. The Kaplan–Meier survival rate for radiological migration of primary and revised THAs at 10 years was 100% and 97% (95% confidence interval: 96%-100%), respectively. Bone remodeling was evaluated using the radiological demarcation at the bone-to-bone interface, and an improvement of 100% in primary THAs and 94% in revised THAs was observed.

Conclusion

For massive bone defects, acetabular reconstruction using the KT plate with a structural bone grafting can yield successful results.  相似文献

Background

Limb salvage following the resection of tumor from the proximal part of the humerus, poses many challenges, and there is no consensus regarding the best reconstructive technique after proximal humerus resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of anteromedial placing of the plate in the absence of deltoid muscle and cement augmentation on the functional outcome, complication rate and survival of proximal humerus allograft reconstruction.

Patients and methods

A number of 36 osteoarticular allograft reconstructions of proximal humerus were included in final study. In 26 cases, medullary canal of the allograft was filled by cement and the complication rate and survival was compared to non-cemented allografts. In addition, anteromedial placement of plate was applied for all resection type IB (18 cases), in which the deltoid muscle was resected. The mean follow-up of patients was 46 months.

Results

In total, 12 complications including 3 fractures, 4 resorptions, 3 infections and 2 nonunions were reported. Complication rates were significantly lower in cemented allografts (p = 0.001). Five year survival rates of cemented and non-cemented allografts were found to be 82% and 70%, respectively. The mean MSTS score was 84.9%, ranging 76–90.

Conclusion

According to our results, cement augmentation improves survival and reduces the complication rate of allografts. Moreover, our results showed that anteromedial placing of the plate in resection type IB could improve the functional outcome of allografts. However, the detailed effect of anteromedial plating should be further investigated in future studies.  相似文献

Background

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is challenging specially in the presence of severe acetabular bone deficiency. We report the use of a highly porous revision shell augmented by structural allograft to provide structural support and coverage to the acetabular component.

Methods

We identified 56 patients (58 hips) undergoing revision THA, where a trabecular metal revision cup was supported by structural allograft. Mean follow-up was 5.4 years (range 2-12 years). Preoperatively acetabular bone defects were classified as Paprosky 2A in 6 hips (10%), 2B in 12 hips (21%), 2C in 12 hips (21%), 3A in 11 hips (19%), and 3B in 17 hips (29%). Structural allograft configuration was classified as type 1 (flying buttress) in 13 hips, type 2 (dome support) in 23 hips, and type 3 (footings) in 17 hips, with 5 hips having combined configurations.

Results

All hips showed evidence of union between the allograft and host bone at latest follow-up, 14 hips had partial resorption of the allograft that did not affect cup stability. Three acetabular components demonstrated failure of ingrowth. Survivorship-free from radiographic acetabular loosening as end point was 94% at 5 years. The 5-year survivorship with revision for any reason as end point was 90%.

Conclusion

Trabecular metal shells combined with structural bone allograft in revision THA demonstrate excellent midterm survival, with 94% of acetabular components obtaining stable union onto host bone at 5 years. Allograft restored bone stock with minimal resorption, and when it occurred did not alter the survivorship of the acetabular component.  相似文献

Background

Periprosthetic fracture following total hip arthroplasty is a significant problem faced by hip surgeons, and its management in elderly patients remains a considerable challenge.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 28 Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) treated with revision of the femoral stems by distally locked, hydroxyapatite-coated uncemented stems (Cannulok). Patients were aged 75 years or older at the time of surgery.

Results

The mean follow-up was 44.6 months (range, 24-102). The mean postoperative Oxford hip score was 30.1 (range, 10-46). The rate of fracture union was 95.8%, and the survivorship of the stem was 100% at the end of follow-up.

Conclusion

The management of PFF in elderly is associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. The use of a distally locked, hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem is a valid option for the treatment of PFF to achieve fracture union with a low rate of revision.  相似文献

Background

The number of hemodialysis patients has been progressively increasing in our country. On the other hand, chronic hip arthropathy associated with long-term hemodialysis is a devastating problems affecting patients' quality of life. In our previous study, we proposed a classification system for radiological abnormalities seen in hemodialysis-related hip lesions. The purpose of the study was to propose the surgical strategy for hip disorders caused by long-term hemodialysis.

Methods

Patients with a history of hemodialysis for more than 10 years, 191 hip lesions in 165 consecutive patients who visited our institute due to hip symptoms. Various abnormalities were identified in 116 out of 191 hips. A retrospective assessment of the patient record and radiographs was performed for the included subjects examining the natural course of the disease process as well as the results of surgical treatment.

Results

Seventy-six hip lesions (69.0%) were conservatively managed at the time of the initial visit. Surgeries were performed for 75 hips (64.7%) during the study period. Among those, surgical treatment was indicated for 40 hips at the time of the initial visit. On the other hand, surgeries were performed for 35 hips during the subsequent follow-up period due to progression of the disease process.

Conclusions

Based on the analysis of our surgical experiences by the retrospective chart review, we have established a flowchart of the treatment strategy for chronic hip arthropathy in long-term hemodialysis patients.

Background

Conversion hip arthroplasty is a salvage procedure for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures. However, the technical difficulties and perioperative morbidity of conversion arthroplasty are uncertain.

Methods

We compared the type of arthroplasty (total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty), operative parameters, perioperative morbidity, 1-year mortality, implant stability, and clinical results of 33 conversion hip arthroplasties due to a failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture with those of a matched control group of 33 primary hip arthroplasties due to the same fracture. Propensity score was used for the control matching of gender, age, and body mass index.

Results

Total hip arthroplasty was more frequently performed in the conversion group (10/33) compared to the primary group (3/33) (P = .016). The operation time, perioperative blood loss, amount of transfusion, and risk of femoral fracture during the operation were increased in the conversion group. The overall 1-year mortality was 3% (1 patient) in the conversion group and 9% (3 patients) in the primary group (P = .307). At a mean of 3-year follow-up, there was no significant difference in clinical results and none of the implants were loose in both groups.

Conclusion

In patients with failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture, conversion hip arthroplasty should be planned and executed, bearing in mind the increased operative morbidities corresponding to operation time, perioperative blood loss, requirement of transfusion, and intraoperative femoral fracture.  相似文献

Background

In total hip arthroplasty (THA) of hips with coxa vara, the femoral stems might be inserted in a varus alignment. To avoid varus insertion, we designed a technique, which we termed “trochantoplasty.” In this procedure, the medial half of the greater trochanter was removed during THA.

Methods

We evaluated 30 patients (31 hips) who had coxa vara deformity and underwent THA using trochantoplasty at the mean follow-up of 5 years (range, 3-9 years).

Results

All stems were inserted in the neutral position. One Vancouver type 1 periprosthetic femoral fracture occurred after a fall at postoperative 2 months. At the latest follow-up, the mean power of abductor was 4.3 (range, 3-5). Four patients had moderate limp whereas 26 patients had slight limp. The abduction at 90° flexion ranged from 15° to 45° (mean, 35°). There was no revision. All prostheses had bone-ingrown stability without any detectable wear or osteolysis. The mean Harris hip score was improved from 66.9 to 89.4 points.

Conclusion

Trochantoplasty can be used to avoid varus insertion of the femoral stem while performing THA in patients with coxa vara deformity without compromising the abductor mechanism.  相似文献

Background

The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is typically performed in the supine position using a specially designed operating room table, which makes this approach more accessible to orthopedic surgeons. We attempted to perform this procedure in the lateral decubitus position on an ordinary operation table to avoid dependence on a special operating room table. There is an obvious absence of literature regarding this subject.

Methods

A total of 248 patients (295 hips) were recruited for primary THAs from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. In total, 126 hips (42.7%) underwent THAs using the DAA in the lateral decubitus position. The technical feasibility and early results were evaluated.

Results

The orientation of the acetabular component was 16.5° ± 4.9° anteversion and 43.3° ± 3.5° abduction. Intraoperative proximal femoral fracture occurred in one hip. The superficial wound complications occurred in 2 hips and the hematoma in one hip while in hospital. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury was noted in 43 hips. The early dislocation occurred in 2 hips. Heterotopic ossification was Brooker class I in 5 hips and class II in 1 hip. No aseptic loosening, postoperative periprosthetic fracture, and deep infection occurred in our series.

Conclusion

The DAA for THA in the lateral decubitus position may be a valuable alternative if the DAA in the supine position is difficult to implement owing to absence of a special operating room table. This technique also seems to provide satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes with an acceptable complication in our early follow-up.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the radiologic and functional results of greater trochanteric reattachment using the third-generation cable plate system in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Methods

A total of 47 trochanteric fixations (27 men and 18 women; mean age of 60.2 years) using the third-generation cable plate system in revision THA were retrospectively evaluated. The mean follow-up was 80.4 months (range 27-148 months). The osteotomized greater trochanter was reattached using the Cable-Ready system (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) and the Dall-Miles cable system (Stryker, Mahwah, NJ). The clinical results with Harris hip score, visual analog scale, and radiologic outcomes were evaluated.

Results

The mean Harris hip score was improved from 55.7 (range 17-72) preoperatively to 90.8 (range 68-100; P = .001) postoperatively, and the mean pain score was improved from 6.6 (range 3-10) to 2.5 (range 0-6; P = .001), respectively. Nonunion was observed in 6 hips (12.7%). Migration of the osteotomized greater trochanteric fragment (>1 cm) was seen in 8 hips (17.0%). Cable breakage occurred in 13 cases (27.6%). Although 5 cable plate systems were removed, there was no need for reattachment of the greater trochanter in this study.

Conclusion

This study showed a relatively high incidence of radiologic failure after greater trochanteric reattachment using the cable plate system in revision THA, although reattachments were not required and clinical outcome was relatively satisfactory. Periodic and close observation for the early detection of failure is necessary.  相似文献

Background

When surgeons reconstruct hips with a high dislocation related to severe developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), archiving long-term stable implant fixation and improving patient function and satisfaction remain challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 10-year outcomes of transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy in cementless, modular THA in Crowe type IV-Hartofilakidis type III DDH.

Methods

We reviewed 62 patients (76 hips) who underwent cementless THA with transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy from 2002-2010. There were 49 women and 13 men with a mean age of 38.8 years, all of whom had Crowe type IV DDH. Mean follow-up period was 10 years. The acetabular cup was implanted in placement of the anatomical hip center in all hips.

Results

The mean Harris Hip Score significantly improved from 38.8 points to 86.1 points. Similarly, modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel Hip Score, Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and SF-12 also significantly improved. The mean limb length discrepancy was reduced from 4.3 cm to 1.0 cm. At mean follow-up of 10 years, there were 3 cases of postoperative dislocation, 2 cases of transient nerve palsy, 1 case of nonunion, and 4 cases of intraoperative fracture. Revision surgery was performed in 2 patients due to isolated loosening of acetabular component and femoral stem, respectively.

Conclusion

Our data demonstrated that the cementless, modular THA combined with transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy was an effective and reliable technique with high rates of successful fixation of the implants and satisfactory clinical outcomes.  相似文献

Background

Bone deficiency in revision total hip arthroplasty is a surgical challenge. The Murata-Chiba cup supporter (MC support ring) is an acetabular component supporter for a cementless porous-coated cup. The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical and radiographic outcomes of reconstruction of acetabular bone deficiency using iliac autografts supported by an MC support ring in a revision setting with minimum 15-year follow-up.

Methods

Fifty-nine consecutive revision total hip arthroplasties (57 patients) using the MC support ring were followed for a minimum of 15 years. Nine hips had American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons type II deficiency and 24 had type III defects of the acetabulum. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Harris hip score. Radiographic evaluation included assessment for loosening and bone graft incorporation. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed.

Results

At a minimum 15-year follow-up (mean, 17.6 years), 32 patients (33 hips) were alive, 17 patients (18 hips) were deceased, and 8 patients (8 hips) were lost to follow-up. The mean Harris hip score improved from 44.3 to 77.2 at final follow-up. Four hips required reoperation due to deep infection (2 hips) and liner dissociation (2 hips), but no acetabular components were revised for aseptic loosening. Incorporation of the bone graft occurred in all cases. One unrevised patient had radiographic failure. Survivorship at 15 years with re-revision or radiographic failure as the end point was 90.6% (95% confidence interval, 83.0%-98.8%).

Conclusion

The reconstruction of acetabular bone deficiency using autografts supported by an MC support ring provided satisfactory clinical and radiological results at 17.6 years postoperatively.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study is to review our experience with Kerboull reinforcement device combined with bulk allograft for management of severe acetabular defects.

Methods

We investigated the results of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in 65 hips of 59 patients (10 male, 49 female) with Paprosky type 3A or 3B acetabular bone defects. Functional outcome was assessed using the Merle d'Aubigne hip score. Post-operative radiographs were examined for evidence of cup loosening. The mean age at revision THA was 59.1 years (23-85) and mean follow-up duration was 11.2 years (2-15).

Results

The Merle d'Aubigne hip score improved from 10.6 points (5-15) before surgery to 17.1 points (15-18) (P < .05) at the time of last investigation. In this series, mean coverage of the bone graft was 83.0% (34.6-100) of the loading portion in the horizontal plane on radiography immediately after revision. However, consolidation of the bone graft was completed within 12 months for all cases. There were 4 radiological failures due to acetabular aseptic loosening at a mean of 10.8 years (8-13) after index surgery; all 4 cases demonstrated massive bone loss that no part of the rounded plate could be placed on the host bone. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 15.2-year survival rate was 85.1% (95% confidence interval 71-99) with re-revision surgery for any reason as the end point.

Conclusion

Despite massive bone defects, we achieved favorable results for revision THA using bulk allograft and the Kerboull reinforcement device.  相似文献

Background

Acetabular impaction bone grafting aims to restore anatomy in hip revision surgery. This is an effective but expensive and time-consuming technique. Usually, the articular cartilage is removed from the femoral head allograft. We aimed to reproduce the same results retaining the cartilage of the allograft.

Methods

Eighty acetabular revisions using impacted morselized bone graft retaining the articular cartilage and a cemented cup were studied retrospectively. Six were lost during follow-up. The mean follow-up was 6.5 years (range 1-13). Clinical and radiological assessment was made using the Oxford Hip Score, Hodgkinson's criteria for socket loosening, and the Gie classification for evaluation of allograft incorporation.

Results

Sixty-three sockets (85.1%) were considered radiologically stable (type 0, 1, and 2 demarcations), 8 (10.8%) were radiologically loose (type 3), and 3 (4.1%) presented with migration. Fifty-one (68.9%) cases showed good trabecular remodeling (grade 3), 20 (27%) showed trabecular incorporation (grade 2), and 3 (4.1%) showed poor allograft incorporation. Mean preoperative hip score was 43 and postoperative score was 28. Six (8.1%) cases presented heterotopic ossification around the revised implants, 2 patients (2.7%) had periprosthetic fractures, and 4 (5.4%) had dislocations. The Kaplan-Meier survivorship at a mean of 6.5 years with revision of the cup for any reason was 95.9% (95% confidence interval 5.6-7.5).

Conclusion

The mid-term results of our technique are promising. Particularly when the supply of fresh-frozen allografts and surgical time is limited, using whole femoral head with articular cartilage is both safe and effective.  相似文献

Background

Hypertrophic labrum in dysplastic hip has been frequently reported and is known as limbus in developmental dysplasia of the hip. However, hypertrophic labrum without hip dysplasia has not been reported to date. The purpose of this study was to define hypertrophic labrum and to investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of an abnormally hypertrophic labrum in non-dysplastic hips.

Methods

Between 2007 and 2014, direct CT arthrography was performed in 464 patients (470 hips) who had chronic groin pain and positive impingement or Faber test. There were 189 male (192 hips) and 275 female (278 hips) patients. The mean age was 46.8 years (range, 16–74 years). The hypertrophic labrum was defined as a labrum wider than two standard deviations away from the mean. Surgical correlation of hypertrophic labrum was obtained in cases with hip arthroscopy by a single surgeon.

Results

Seventeen hips (3.6%) were found to have a hypertrophic labrum which had a mean width of 11.2 mm (±1.1) (range, 9.8–14.1 mm). The average width (±SD) of the labrum without hypertrophy was 5.5 mm (±2.4) (range, 2–9.8 mm). Arthroscopic findings of the hypertrophic labrum included fissure and longitudinal tear at the chondrolabral junction and they were associated with chondral abnormality adjacent to the lesion.

Conclusions

Hypertrophic labrum without hip dysplasia is not rare with a high incidence of tears. Care should be taken during arthroscopic access to the hip joint in patients with this morphologic variation as iatrogenic damage can occur more easily.

Background

We aimed to determine correlations between the hip joint center position and pelvic dimensions and whether the three-dimensional position of the original hip joint center could be estimated from pelvic landmarks in dysplastic and normal hips.

Methods

We reviewed the pelvic CT scans of 70 patients (70 hips) with hip dysplasia. Seventy-seven normal hips were used as controls. The hip joint center coordinates (Cx, Cy, and Cz) and pelvic dimensions were measured with reference to the anterior pelvic plane coordinate system. Multiple regression formulas were used to estimate the original hip joint center.

Results

The hip center for both dysplastic and normal hip was highly correlated with the distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) in the coronal plane (r = 0.76 and 0.84), the distance from the ASIS to the pubic tubercle in the sagittal plane (r = 0.81 and 0.76), and distance from the pubic tubercle to the most posterior point of the ischium on the transverse plane (r = 0.76 and 0.78). The hip joint center could be estimated within a 5-mm error for more than 80% of hips on their respective axes in both dysplastic and normal hips.

Conclusions

The three-dimensional position of the original hip joint center was correlated with pelvic dimensions, and can be estimated with substantial accuracy using pelvic landmarks as references. Although these results are preliminary, this estimation method may be useful for surgeons planning total hip arthroplasties.  相似文献

Background

Greater trochanteric fracture/nonunion can be a devastating complication with significant functional impact after total hip arthroplasty, and their fixation remains a challenge because of the significant forces being transmitted as well as the poor bone quality often associated with these fractures. The objective of this study is to investigate the rates of reoperation and trochanteric nonunion using a third-generation cable-plate system at one center.

Methods

Thirty-five patients, mean age 72.9 years (range 46-98 years) with 24 women and 11 men, underwent fixation of their fractured greater trochanter using a third-generation cable-plate system. The indications were: periprosthetic fracture (n = 17), complex primary arthroplasty (n = 5), and complex revision arthroplasty (n = 13). Primary outcomes included rates of reoperation and radiographic union.

Results

At a mean follow-up of 2.5 years, trochanteric union rate was 62.9% with nonunion rate of 31.4%, and fibrous union in 5.7%. In regard to quality of initial apposition, only 40% achieved a perfect bone on bone reduction. Ten patients (28.6%) had evidence of wire breakage. Five patients (14.3%) required reoperation and removal of the internal fixation because of lateral hip pain.

Conclusion

Fixation of the trochanteric fractures remains a challenge with a relatively high reoperation rate. Poor bone quality and capacity to maintain a stable reduction continue to make this complication after total hip arthroplasty a difficult problem to solve.  相似文献

Background

Although use of intramedullary hip screws (IMHS) for intertrochanteric (IT) hip fractures has become more common, limited data have suggested difficulties in conversion to hip arthroplasty. The present study investigates whether conversion of failed IT fracture fixation with an intramedullary vs extramedullary device leads to different rates or types of complications or decreased arthroplasty survivorship.

Methods

One hundred eleven patients were converted to hip arthroplasty after previous surgical treatment of an IT fracture from 2000 to 2010. Seventy hips had been treated with an extramedullary fixation device (EFD) and 41 with an IMHS.

Results

Length of hospital stay and operative times were similar (6 days and 206 minutes for EFD vs 6 days and 208 minutes for IMHS; P > .7). The presence of a Trendelenburg gait at last clinical follow-up was similar between groups (37% in EFD group and 38% in IMHS group). Five-year survivorship free of revision was 95% in the EFD group and 94% in the IMHS group (P = 1.0). The overall complication rate was similar (21% for EFD vs 27% for IMHS; P = .51) between groups. The most common complication was late periprosthetic fracture in the EFD patients (6% vs 0% in IMHS; P = .29) and intraoperative femoral fracture in the IMHS patients (12% vs 1% in EFD; P = .02).

Conclusion

The short-term survivorship of conversion hip arthroplasty after surgical treatment of an IT fracture is excellent regardless of original fracture fixation method. If early complications, particularly periprosthetic fractures, can be minimized, the likelihood of a successful outcome is high. The risk of intraoperative femoral fracture was greater during conversion from an IMHS compared to an EFD.  相似文献
