Biomechanical qualities of threaded acetabular cups.

Published: April 2003

We examined 25 different threaded cups using a specific biomechanical procedure. Great differences between the tested cups concerning their biomechanical parameters could be found. There is some evidence that the design of several cups might be inappropriate for stable acetabular fixation, and this may be the reason for early loosening. The new procedure is the first to allow biomechanical assessment of threaded cups by using quantified data, which correspond to long-term stability of the cup.

Article Synopsis
  • The study compares threaded acetabular components (TACs) and press-fit acetabular components (PFACs) in total hip arthroplasty (THA), highlighting TACs' greater initial stability but ongoing use of PFACs despite advantages.
  • It involved a thorough analysis of seven studies with nearly 15,000 cases, examining revision rates due to aseptic loosening and radiological outcomes between the two types of components.
  • Findings suggested that PFACs had a higher odds ratio for revisions, especially in females, though some results did not reach statistical significance, indicating that while TACs might be better, further research is necessary for conclusive evidence.

New-generation threaded acetabulum components have been used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with good outcomes. We have extensively used the EcoFit® SC cup (Implantcast, Buxtehude, Germany) in our practice. In this report, we present some major complications related to the use of this implant, as well as insights regarding the surgical technique to avoid such adverse effects.

Migration patterns of acetabular cups: a systematic review and meta-analysis of RSA studies.

Acta Orthop

December 2023

Centre for Orthopaedic and Trauma Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia; Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma, Royal Adelaide Hospital, Adelaide, SA, Australia.

Background And Purpose: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RSA studies to investigate the early and long-term migration patterns of acetabular cups and the influence of implant factors on cup migration over time.

Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases to identify all RSA studies of cup migration following primary total hip replacement (THR). Proximal migration at 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, 5, and 10 years were considered for analysis.

This study investigates the clinical and radiological results of a tapered femoral stem (Corail®) and uncemented threaded acetabular cups (Tropic®) and in addition an analysis of the complications and retrieved implants was conducted. Between January 1990 and September 1998, 301 total hips arthroplasties in 268 patients were implanted. 78 patients (87 hips) had died and 9 patients (12 hips) had been lost to follow-up, leaving at the time of the latest follow-up 180 patients (202 hips).

Initial survival of the Isis® total trapeziometacarpal prosthesis with conical trunk threaded cups.

Rev Esp Cir Ortop Traumatol (Engl Ed)

June 2021

Servicio de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología, Unidad de Mano y Muñeca, Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla, Santander, España; Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, España.

Introduction: The treatment of trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis through the implantation of total trapeziometacarpal prostheses is in continuous expansion. The Isis® prosthesis is a trunk-conical threaded anchorage prosthesis. Our objective was to assess the functional results and survival of this implant for at least one year of follow-up.
