RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Considering the risk of lack of bone in revision and the bone coverage of component,it is advisable to use bone grafting to increase bone stock in patients with adult Crowe type Ⅲ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in the first total hip arthroplasty (THA).OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effectiveness of impaction bone grafting with morselized bone and bone paste for acetabular defects of adult Crowe type Ⅲ DDH in THA.METHODS:Forty cases (45 hips) of Crowe type Ⅲ DDH were enrolled,including 8 males and 32 females,aged 31-68 years.All the components were reconstructed at the anatomic acetabulum combined with deepening acetabulum and putting the centre of rotation medially and distally during THA procedures.The patients were all followed up and evaluated with Harris score,limp length,displacement of the centre of rotation,cup coverage,and postoperative complications.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average follow-up was 32.7 months.Acetabular rotation centers of all the cases were recovered (near) to normal.The incisions healed by first intention and there was no complication such as infection,dislocation,prosthesis loosening.The acetabular cup prosthesis did not displace and was covered well by bone at the last follow-up,the grafted bone particles got radiological osseointegration and the bone sclerosis zone disappeared.No radiolucent lines and screw fracture were detected.The Harris scores of affected hips at the last follow-up were significantly higher than those before surgery(P=0).The average leg length was increased (2.31 ±0.18) cm.The mean cup coverage was 78.1％.The postoperative horizontal and vertical distance of the hip center were shorter than those before surgery (P=0).Reconstructing the acetabulum with autogenous morselized bone graft impaction can effectively restore the acetabular coverage,maintain the stability of acetabular cup and provide better relative bone stock in THA for Crowe type Ⅲ DDH in adult,and moreover,the short-term effect is satisfactory.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis has advantages in theoretic design,in vitro kinematics and abrasion, but it remains unclear whether its clinical outcomes for vaglus knee deformity are better than Legacy constrained condylar knee prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the midterm folow-up effect of Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty in patients with valgus knee deformity. METHODS: From February 2006 to November 2013 in Department of Bone and Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical Colege, total knee arthroplasty was used to treat valgus knee deformity in 33 cases (35 knees). Parapatelar medial approach was used. Precise osteotomy was utilized to correct limb alignment. Lateral soft tissue received selective release. Finaly, an equal type of Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis (Zimmer, USA) was implanted and fixed with antibiotic bone cement. The differences in hospital for special surgery knee score, range of motion of knee, femoral tibial angle, and maximum flexion and extension angle, as wel as X-ray film results were compared and analyzed before and after replacement. The complications including deep vein thrombosis, peri-prosthetic infection, patelar clicking, unstable knee, and common peroneal nerve injury were recorded after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Al patients were folowed up for 24-50 months. The incision was healed in one-stage. No complications such as peri-prosthetic infection appeared. Three patients suffered from common peroneal nerve palsy, which was cured at half a year after surgery by expectant treatment such as trophic nerve. Two cases suffered from knee instability after replacement, which was improved at 1 month after external fixation with a brace. One case experienced deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremity, which was improved after treatment with low molecular weight heparin anticoagulation. During final folow-up, hospital for special surgery knee score increased from (51.85±4.15) preoperatively to (85.77±2.50) postoperatively (P < 0.01). There were excelent in 20 knees, good in 11 knees, with an excelent and good rate of 89%. X-ray films showed that hindlimb alignment was apparently corrected, prosthetic position was good, no loosening occurred. These data indicate that total knee arthroplasty, using parapatelar medial approach, obtained good correction outcomes through the accurate amputation to correct hindlimb alignment and selective release of the soft tissue with Legacy posterior stabilized prosthesis in the treatment of valgus knee deformity.
