The Outcome of Cemented Acetabular Components in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis Defines a Proficiency Threshold: Results of 22,956 Cases From the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry

BackgroundThe declining popularity of cemented acetabular components is incongruous, given the published results of prostheses implanted using contemporary techniques. The outcome of arthroplasty has previously been demonstrated to correlate with surgeon experience and volume of practice. We aim to explore if surgeon volume alters outcomes of cemented acetabular components based on survivorship data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR).MethodsAn observational study was undertaken using a cohort of 22,956 patients with a primary diagnosis of osteoarthritis in the period 2003-2016 in whom cemented acetabular components were implanted. The cohort was stratified by age (greater than or less than 65 years) and annualized surgical volume of ≤10, >10-≤25, and >25 cases.ResultsStratified by age and volume, there was a protective benefit against revision conveyed at volume thresholds of 10 cases per annum and 25 cases per annum for patients ≥65 years of age and <65 years of age, respectively.ConclusionCemented total hip arthroplasty has excellent survivorship out to 15 years based on AOANJRR data. This survivorship is further improved if surgeons perform a higher volume of cases, with >25 cases conferring the greatest benefit. The AOANJRR data set is used to define best practice; surgeons who choose to utilize cemented acetabular fixation should be encouraged to perform this technique in adequate volumes to minimize revision risk and ensure the preservation of this important surgical skill set.

人体体温下UHMWPE人工髋臼材料压缩性能的试验研究

模拟人体体温下对超高分子量聚乙烯（UHMWPE）人工髋臼材料进行了压缩力学性能的试验研究,并与室温下的试验结果进行了对比.当由室温22℃升高到体温37℃和40℃时,其屈服应力呈明显的下降趋势,分别下降了23.1%和31.9%,由体温37℃升高到40℃时,二者仅差3℃,其屈服应力亦下降了11.5%.同时还对不同加载速度下UHMWPE试件压缩变形过程进行了红外辐射温度的监测与分析.不同加载速度下试件压缩变形过程中的红外辐射温度均有明显升高,加载时间越长,试件平均红外辐射温度越高.试验结果分析表明,不能忽视植入人体后UHMWPE人工髋臼局部受压时温度的升高,特别不能忽视植入人体后在人体体温作用下其力学性能的改变和下降,人体体温的作用是UHMWPE人工髋臼出现过早失效的原因之一.本试验研究为UHMWPE材料在人体环境中的应用研究提供了参考.     

The Effect of Functional Pelvic Tilt on the Three-Dimensional Acetabular Cup Orientation in Total Hip Arthroplasty Dislocations

BackgroundAnterior and posterior pelvic tilt appears to play a role in total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability. When changing from the standing to the sitting position, the pelvis typically rotates posteriorly while the hips flex and this affects the femoro-acetabular positions. This case-control study compares changes in 3-D acetabular cup orientation during functional pelvic tilt between posterior THA dislocations vs stable THAs.MethodsStanding and sitting 3-D cup orientation was compared between fifteen posterior dislocations vs 233 prospectively followed stable THAs. 3-D cup orientation was calculated using previously validated trigonometric algorithms on biplanar radiographs. Those algorithms combine the angles in the three anatomical planes (coronal inclination, transverse version, and sagittal ante-inclination) in the standing position with the change in sagittal pelvic tilt from standing to sitting to calculate the 3-D orientation in the sitting position.ResultsThe standing cup orientation of the dislocated THAs was only characterized by a lower coronal inclination (P = .039). Compared with the controls, from standing to sitting, they showed less posterior pelvic tilt (P < .001). This led to a significant lower coronal inclination (P < .001) and sagittal ante-inclination (P < .001) in the sitting position but similar transverse version (P = .366).ConclusionsComparing posterior THA dislocations to stable THAs, there is a lower increase of all three orientation angles from standing to sitting. This leads to a decreased sitting coronal inclination and sagittal ante-inclination which may lead to an increased risk of impingement ensued by THA instability. By contrast, the transverse version was not significantly different in both positions. This confirms the importance of biplanar data on functional cup orientation.Level of EvidenceDiagnostic, Level III.     

Evaluating Alternate Registration Planes for Imageless,Computer-Assisted Navigation During Total Hip Arthroplasty

BackgroundImageless computer navigation improves component placement accuracy in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but variations in the registration process are known to impact final accuracy measurements. We sought to evaluate the registration accuracy of an imageless navigation device during THA performed in the lateral decubitus position.MethodsA prospective, observational study of 94 patients undergoing a primary THA with imageless navigation assistance was conducted. Patient position was registered using 4 planes of reference: the patient’s coronal plane (standard method), the long axis of the surgical table (longitudinal plane), the lumbosacral spine (lumbosacral plane), and the plane intersecting the greater trochanter and glenoid fossa (hip-shoulder plane). Navigation measurements of cup position for each plane were compared to measurements from postoperative radiographs.ResultsMean inclination from radiographs (41.5° ± 5.6°) did not differ significantly from inclination using the coronal plane (40.9° ± 3.9°, P = .39), the hip-shoulder plane (42.4° ± 4.7°, P = .26), or the longitudinal plane (41.2° ± 4.3°, P = .66). Inclination measured using the lumbosacral plane (45.8° ± 4.3°) differed significantly from radiographic measurements (P < .0001). Anteversion measured from radiographs (mean: 26.1° ± 5.4°) did not differ significantly from the hip-shoulder plane (26.6° ± 5.2°, P = .50). All other planes differed significantly from radiographs: coronal (22.6° ± 6.8°, P = .001), lumbosacral (32.5° ± 6.4°, P < .0001), and longitudinal (23.7° ± 5.2°, P < .0001).ConclusionPatient registration using any plane approximating the long axis of the body provided a frame of reference that accurately measured intraoperative cup position. Registration using a plane approximating the hip-shoulder axis, however, provided the most accurate and consistent measurement of acetabular component position.

Assessment of optic disk by disk damage likelihood scale staging using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography in diagnosing primary open-angle glaucoma

Purpose:The current study was aimed at assessment of optic disk by disk damage likelihood scale (DDLS) staging using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diagnosing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.Methods:This was a cross-sectional observational study of 106 POAG patients, which was conducted from April 2017 to April 2018. All patients underwent slit-lamp fundoscopy with a +78 D lens and high-definition (HD)-OCT, and the vertical cup disk ratios (VCDRs) were recorded. Disk size and neuroretinal rim assessment were done, and the disk was then staged using the recent version, which stages the optic nerve head (ONH) from 1 to 10 as read from the DDLS nomogram table. DDLS scores >5 indicate glaucomatous damage. Pearson coefficient was used to correlate the DDLS staging by slit-lamp biomicroscopy with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), disk size, and VCDR and VCDR, mean deviation, and DDLS staging by HD-OCT.Results:The mean age of the patients was 59.54 ± 6.61 years. The male: female ratio was 2:1. The mean IOP was 16.04 ± 1.97 mmHg, and BCVA was 0.72 ± 0.13 LogMAR units. The mean VCDR on 78 D slit-lamp biomicroscopy was 0.76 ± 0.09 (standard deviation [SD]) (range 0.1–0.77), whereas on HD-OCT, the mean VCDR was 0.81 ± 0.09 (SD) (range 0.07–0.81). The mean deviation on visual field testing in decibels was −14.43 ± 3.31 (SD). The correlation coefficient between DDLS staging by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and DDLS staging by HD-OCT parameters was r = 0.96.Conclusion:There is a positive correlation between the DDLS system of optic disk evaluation on slit-lamp biomicroscopy and most of the HD-OCT evaluation parameters.
