Background And Purpose: Whether or not uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) can achieve durable fixation of implants to bone in patients on chronic hemodialysis is unknown. We analyzed the 2-13-year clinical outcomes of cementless THA in patients with end-stage renal diseases who were maintained on long-term hemodialysis.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the outcome of 23 consecutive uncemented THAs undertaken between 1993 and 2004, in patients with chronic renal failure who had been on long-term hemodialysis (2-18 years). 1 patient died and 2 patients were lost to follow-up within 2 years, leaving 20 hips (20 patients, median age 66 (38-81) years at the time of THA, 11 females) that were reviewed at median 7 (2-13) years postoperatively.
Results: Radiographic bone-ingrowth fixation of the components was found in 19 patients. 1 patient had aseptic loosening requiring revision surgery. The median d'Aubigne and Postel score was 10 (8-14) preoperatively and 15 (12-18) at final review. No prosthetic infections were found in any of the patients.
Interpretation: Uncemented THA shows promising medium-term results in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis.

Stress shielding in reverse shoulder arthroplasty using a proximally coated stem for proximal humeral fractures: Does it have clinical relevance?
Shoulder Elbow
January 2025
Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Department, Hospital de Terrassa, Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical significance of stress shielding in patients who have undergone an uncemented reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a proximally coated stem for complex proximal humeral fractures (PHF) comprising 3 or 4 parts, assessed at 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, this study aims to examine the correlation between tuberosity healing and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Single Centre.
Evaluation and refinement of thresholds for early migration of total knee replacements as an estimator of late aseptic loosening: an updated systematic review of RSA and survival studies.
Acta Orthop

Department of Orthopaedics, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Background And Purpose: This study updates 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses from 2012, which established the 1-year radiostereometric (RSA) migration thresholds for tibial components of total knee replacements (TKR) based on the risk of late revision for aseptic loosening from survival studies. The primary aim of this study was to determine the (mis)categorization rate of the 2012 thresholds using the updated review as a validation dataset. Secondary aims were evaluation of 6-month migration, mean continuous (1- to 2-year) migration, and fixation-specific thresholds for tibial component migration.

Orthopaedic Clinic Lucerne, Lucerne, Switzerland.
Introduction: The RM Pressfit vitamys is an uncemented, titanium particle-coated, isoelastic monoblock cup made of vitamin E blended highly cross-linked polyethylene. We addressed the following questions: (1) What are the clinical and (2) radiographic outcomes 10 years after implantation? (3) What is the revision rate?
Methods: In this prospective observational study in a tertiary care centre we investigated all consecutive cases of total hip replacement with the RM Pressfit vitamys cup between September 2009 and November 2011. It was implanted in 162 hips, 49.
Tibial stem extension versus standard configuration in primary cemented total knee arthroplasty: systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Epidemiology, School of Health, Mashhad University of Medical Science, Mashhad, Iran.
Background: In order to increase the stability of tibial component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), intramedullary stem extensions (SE) have been developed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to address the critical knowledge gap on post-operative outcomes and complications rate comparison between tibial component with SE compared to the tibial component standard configuration (SC) in primary cemented TKA.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of online databases, including Pubmed, Embase, ISI Web of science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus, using the following MeSH terms, (total knee arthroplasty) OR (TKA) OR (total knee replacement) AND (Tibial stem) OR (stem extension) OR (long stem).
Hydroxyapatite-coated total primary hip replacement: 28-year follow-up survivorship.
Hip Int
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital de Sant Pau (HSCSP), Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Survival at 25 years' follow-up for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported at 5%-77%, with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating, due to its osteo-conductive properties, used to enhance implant fixation and survival. The progressive increase in life expectancy raises doubts regarding HA-coated THA survival and THA revision surgery risk. The aim of our study was to retrospectively analyse survival for primary uncemented fully HA-coated THA after 28 years' follow-up.
