Long-Term Results of Delta Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have long been considered the coupling with the lowest overall wear. However, concerns about complications such as ceramic breakage and noise, combined with the improved performance of polyethylene, have limited its use in the United States. This postapproval follow-up reports long-term (10 years) results of Delta COC in THA patients primarily enrolled in an Investigational Device Exemption study.

Midterm Results of Delta Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty.

This study reports mid-term results of Delta ceramic on ceramic (COC) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Subjects received Delta COC THA in a prospective multi-center study with either 28 mm (n=177) or 36 mm (n=168) articulations. Annual clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed, and patients were asked about hip noises.

Implant choices, technique, and results in revision acetabular surgery: a review.

Acetabular reconstruction in revision total hip arthroplasty can successfully be achieved with hemispherical components featuring a porous or roughened ingrowth surface and options for placement of multiple screws. Most defects can be reconstructed with large hemispherical or "jumbo" cups. Achieving component stability and sufficient contact area on adequate host bone is mandatory.

Hip fractures in the United States: 2008 nationwide emergency department sample.

Objective: To evaluate the recent epidemiology of hip fractures in the US.

Methods: We identified hip fracture cases from the 2008 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample, which contains more than 28 million emergency department (ED) records.

Results: In 2008, approximately 341,000 (95% confidence interval 323,000-358,000) patients visited EDs with hip fractures.

Surgical technique: a cup-in-cup technique to restore offset in severe protrusio acetabular defects.

Background: Severe medial and/or superior defects encountered in revision THA are currently managed with jumbo (≥ 66 mm) acetabular components and modular augments, with reconstruction cages, or with the cup-cage technique. Preoperative planning can indicate when these techniques may not restore vertical and horizontal offset. Failure to restore offset can lead to impingement, leg length inequality, abductor weakness, and dislocation.

In vivo assessment of total hip femoral head separation from the acetabular cup during 4 common daily activities.

In vivo video fluoroscopies of well-functioning total hip arthroplasties (THA) have shown that femoral head separation from the medial articular bearing surface occurs during gait. Other activities may cause the same phenomenon. We examined this while patients performed the following 4 activities of daily living: pivoting to each side in stance, shoe tying, sitting down, and standing up.

Fracture of a cross-linked polyethylene liner: a multifactorial issue.

A limited number of reports have detailed the cause of fracture of a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner. Typically, the fractures have occurred in a region of thin and/or unsupported polyethylene, in association with superiorly directed edge loading conditions secondary to an excessively inclinated acetabular component. This case report details an unusual fracture mechanism of a 5-mrad cross-linked liner caused by horizontal loading conditions.

The role of the cemented all-polyethylene tibial component in total knee replacement: a 30-year patient follow-up and review of the literature.

Use of an all-polyethylene tibial component in primary total knee arthroplasty remains an attractive option considering the reported durability of the construct, the lowered cost compared to modular metal-backed tibia, and the elimination of backside wear. The two major intra-operative disadvantages include the inability to alter the tibial component thickness after permanent implant placement and the inability to use varus-valgus constrained designs. The long-term disadvantage is the inability to perform a modular insert exchange should this be required.

A painful metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty: a diagnostic dilemma.

Infection, loosening, osteolysis, or other causes can lead to the development of pain about a previously well-functioning total hip arthroplasty. An inflammatory reaction unique to metal on metal arthroplasty can lead to a painful total hip. A synovial biopsy is needed to make this specific diagnosis, and included in the differential diagnosis is infection.
