RESUMEN
Resumen: Introducción: La evaluación y manejo de la pérdida ósea acetabular en la artroplastía total de cadera es un desafío para los cirujanos ortopédicos, deseamos en este estudio determinar la concordancia interobservador en la clasificación de Paprosky para defectos acetabulares. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, longitudinal, prospectivo. Se realizó utilizando las radiografías anteroposteriores de cadera de pacientes programados para artroplastía total de cadera primaria o de revisión con defecto óseo acetabular, sistema de rayos X local Sinapse, se valoraron 20 radiografías por observador tomadas de manera aleatoria (médicos adscritos al servicio de reemplazos articulares con experiencia mínima de cinco años) utilizando la clasificación de Paprosky de manera espontánea (sin clases previas) de defectos acetabulares, se evaluó la concordancia interobservador mediante el coeficiente de kappa de Cohen. Resultados: Se obtuvo una concordancia interobservador en promedio para la clasificación de Paprosky de defectos acetabulares utilizando el coeficiente de kappa de Cohen, el análisis de concordancia se hizo empleando el programa estadístico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences de 0.237. Conclusiones: Tanto la hipótesis nula (kappa mayor de 0.80 valor considerado óptimo) como la hipótesis alternativa (kappa de 0.41 a 0.80 valor igual a moderada a buena) no concordaron con nuestro estudio (kappa igual a 0.237) valor igual a leve, además se demostró que a mayor defecto acetabular menor es la concordancia interobservador en cirujanos en nuestra institución.
Abstract: Introduction: The evaluation and management of acetabular bone loss in total hip arthroplasty is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, we wish in this study to determine the inter-observer concordance in the Paprosky classification for acetabular defects. Material and methods: Observational, descriptive, longitudinal, prospective study. It was performed using anteroposterior hip radiographs of patients scheduled for primary total hip arthroplasty or revision with acetabular bone defect, Sinapse local X-ray system, 20 X-rays were assessed per observer taken randomly (doctors assigned to the joint replacement service with minimum experience of five years) using the Paprosky classification spontaneously, (without previous classes) for acetabular defects, inter-observer concordance was assessed using Cohen's Kappa coefficient. Results: An interobserver agreement was obtained on average for the Paprosky classification of acetabular defects using the Cohen's Kappa coefficient, the concordance analysis was done using the statistical program statistical package for the social sciences of 0.237. Conclusions: Both the null hypothesis (Kappa greater than 0.80 value considered optimal) and the alternative hypothesis (Kappa from 0.41 to 0.80 value equal to moderate to good) did not agree with our study (Kappa equal to 0.237) value equal to mild, in addition , it was shown that the greater the acetabular defect, the lower the interobserver agreement in surgeons in our institution.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the methods and short-time clinical results of reconstruction of Paprosky type Ⅲ acetabulum bone defects by using tantalum augments.@*Methods@#A total of 17 patients (17 hips) with Paprosky type Ⅲ acetabulum bone defects, treated with tantalum augments in revision of total hip arthroplasty at Department of Orthopedics Surgery in General Hospital of Chinese People′s Liberation Army were retrospectively analyzed from March 2014 to May 2016.There were 6 males and 11 females aged from 23 to 74 years with an average of (50.2±16.3) years. Tantalum augments or TM-Cup augment (the cup-on-cup technique) were used to reconstruct the defects.The TM-Cup augment was the tantalum revision cup which was removed titanium ring. The cup-on-cup technique combined TM-Cup augment and biological acetabulum cup. Augments were served as the nonresorptive structural allograft in revision of total hip arthroplasty. Harris hip score was used to evaluate clinical effects. The vertical position of the rotation center was measured and analyzed. Radiographic assessments of the acetabular components were performed by DeLee-Charnley and the Anderson criteria and recorded postoperative complications.@*Results@#All the patients were followed up from 3 to 29 months with an average of (16.2±5.4) months, tantalum augments and biological acetabulum cup were used in 13 patients, the TM-Cup augment and biological acetabulum cup were used in 4 patients. At the time of the latest follow-up, the mean Harris hip score increased compared to preoperatively (86.8±8.3 vs. 30.0±12.0) (t=12.78, P<0.01), the average vertical location of the center of rotation was decreased ((25.3±9.8) mm vs.(47.6±10.5)) mm (t=4.95, P<0.01). All the tantalum augments and biological acetabulum cups were stable, there were no infection, dislocation and other complications.@*Conclusions@#The use of tantalum augments could be considered as an effective management of Paprosky type Ⅲ defects providing good clinical and radiographic outcomes in the short term.The cup-on-cup technique which was used in reconstruction of severe superior-invagination acetabular bone defects and restoration relatively normal center of rotation had special application value.
