The therapeutic effect between metal augment and impacted bone grafting in the hip revision of acetabular bone defect / 医学研究生学报

Objective The application of metal augments in the revision of total hip arthroplasty(THA)has achieved re-markable results in the treatment of bone defects.However,there are limited studies compared this effective method with the traditional treatment.The purpose of this article is to investigate the curative effect of both metal augmentation and impacted bone grafting in the revision of acetabular bone defect. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients(20 hips)with bone defects after THA in Au-thority of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region from August 2010 to February 2017.These 20 patients were allocated into 2 groups:impacted bone grafting group(n=11,filling acetabular bone defect with autogenous iliac bone and artificial bone)and metal aug-mentation group(n=9,filling acetabular bone defect with metal aug-ment).The duration of surgery,blood loss and the hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)were compared between these two groups and the Harris score was applied to evaluate the hip function and full weight bearing. Results The surgery duration and blood loss of impacted bone grafting group were significantly increased when compared with the metal augmentation group(44.5±7.82 min vs 36.22±5.19 min and 431.82±57.76 mL vs 333.33±72.80 mL respec-tively).there were 3 cases showed mild bone resorption in the I regions in the impacted bone grafting group, while only one case showed mild bone resorption in the II region in the metal augmentation group.The HSS scores in the metal augmentation group were higher than those in the impacted bone grafting group at the time of postoperative 2 weeks(43.89±2.76 vs 40.82±4.42), 3 months (49.89±2.03 vs 45.27±3.90)and 6 months(53.44±2.46 vs 50.55±3.67), the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001). The Harris scores in the metal augmentation group were higher than those in the impacted bone grafting group(P<0.01).The metal augmentation group had a shorter time of getting out of bed compared with the impacted bone grafting group(P<0.01). Conclusion For those patients with upper acetabular bone defect,revision surgery using metal augments can save the operation time.Meanwhile, it is also superior to the impacted bone grafting in the early prosthesis stability and bone ingrowth,and thus enables to shorten the time on getting out of bed and promote functional.

Acetabular Defect Reconstruction with Trabecular Metal Augments: Study with Minimum One-year Follow-up / 대한고관절학회지

PURPOSE: High rates of mechanical failure have been reported in type III acetabular defects. Recently porous trabecular metal augments have been introduced with, excellent biomechanical characteristics and biocompatibility, allowing early stability and greater bone ingrowth. The aim of the study was to assess the short term clinical and radiological outcome of the trabecular metal augments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed, 22 revision total hip arthroplasties (THA) and 6 primary THA (total 28) using trabecular metal augments to reconstruct acetabular defect between 2011 to 2015. Among 28 patients, 18 were males, 10 females. Mean age of patients was 61.21 years. Paprosky classification for acetabular bone defects was used. Eighteen cases were classified as grade 3 A and 10 cases as grade 3B. Hip center was calculated in each case preoperatively and compared postoperatively to check whether it has been brought down. Clinical outcome assessed using Harris hip score (HHS) and radiological outcomes as osteolysis in acetabular zones and osseointegration, according to Moore's criteria. RESULTS: HHS improved from 58.00 to 86.20. Centre of rotation of hip joint corrected from 38.90 mm preoperatively to 23.85 mm postoperatively above the interteardrop line. Among 28 patients, 18 patients had three or more signs of osseointegration (Moore's criteria), during final follow up and 10 had one/two signs. No radiolucency, osteolysis, or loosening found during follow up radiographic examination. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that trabecular metal augments were highly satisfactory in short term. However, long term study is required for better evaluation.

Evaluation of the fixation of the trabecular metal wedge in patients undergoing revision of total hip arthroplasty

Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the fixation of the trabecular metal wedge in patients undergoing revision of total hip arthroplasty. Methods: twenty-three cases with minimum grading of Paprosky II-B that were operated between July 2008 and February 2013 were evaluated. These cases were evaluated based on radiographs before the operation, immediately after the operation and later on after the operation. Loss of fixation was defined as a change in the abduction angle of the component greater than 10° or any mobilization greater than 6 mm. Results: it was found that there was 100% fixation of the acetabula after a mean of 29.5 months. One case underwent removal of the implanted components due to infection. Conclusions: there is still no consensus regarding the best option for reconstructing hips with bone loss. However, revision using a trabecular metal wedge has presented excellent short-and medium-term results. This qualifies it as an important tool for achieving a fixed and stable acetabular component...

Objetivo: avaliar a fixação das cunhas de metral trabeculado (CMT) em pacientes submetidos à revisão de artroplastia total de quadril. Métodos: foram avaliados 23 casos graduados no mínimo como II-B de Paprosky, operados entre julho de 2008 e fevereiro de 2013. Os casos foram avaliados com base nas radiografias pré e pós-operatórias imediatas e tardias. A perda da fixação foi definida como uma variação do ângulo de abdução do componente maior do que 10° ou qualquer mobilização maior do que 6 mm. Resultados: verificou-se 100% de fixação dos acetábulos após 29,5 meses em média. Um caso foi submetido à retirada dos componentes implantados por infecção. Conclusões: ainda não há consenso no que diz respeito à melhor opção de reconstrução do quadril com perda óssea, porém a revisão com CMT vem apresentando excelentes resultados em curto e médio prazo. Tal fato a qualifica como uma importante ferramenta na obtenção de um componente acetabular fixo e estável...
