Purpose: Revision hip arthroplasty using a modular head-neck adapter gives the possibility of keeping a well-fixed femoral component while revising the acetabular prosthesis or femoral head and adapt leg length and femoral offset to the individual anatomy intraoperatively. The success of this kind of surgery is still unclear due to the lack of medium- to long-term follow-up. Therefore, we analyzed the clinical and radiological outcome of the modular Merete BioBall© adapter system in revision hip surgery.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 95 consecutive patients with a Merete BioBall© adapter system implanted during revision hip arthroplasty. The average follow-up was 52.5 months. For clinical evaluation, we used the Harris Hip Score. The health-related quality of life was determined with the visual analog pain scale.
Results: The surgeries were performed 97 months after prior hip arthroplasty on average. The main indications for the Merete BioBall© adapter system were dislocation, acetabular loosening, and wear. In the clinical outcome, patients achieved 80.9 points in the Harris Hip Score. The mean level of persisting pain was 1.4 (VAS). The overall survival of the Merete BioBall© system in revision hip arthroplasty revealed 92.8 % survival at 8.17 years follow-up with a repeat revision rate of 5.2 %.
Conclusions: Performing revision hip arthroplasty using the Merete BioBall

Patellar Instability After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
J Knee Surg
January 2025
Lenox Hill Hospital Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Northwell Health, New York, United States.
Patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare, yet serious complication, potentially requiring revision surgery or resulting in chronic dysfunction. When encountered, it is paramount to understand the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes of the selected treatment. The most common cause of patella instability is improper positioning of components, leading to lateral maltracking of the patella.

Purpose: Studies evaluating the long-term survival rate, patient satisfaction, and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate satisfaction and hip survival at a minimum 10-year follow-up in patients following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
Methods: A total of 164 patients underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS between 2007 and 2012; of these, 76 (49 men and 27 women; mean age, 40.
The 'Japanese paradox' of total hip arthroplasty: where are we going?
Expert Rev Med Devices
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan.
Introduction: There is a worldwide trend toward 'revisiting' cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). In Japan, however, cemented THAs accounts for 11%, and the percentage of cemented hemiarthroplasty is estimated to be less than 10%. This review was designed to reconsider the option of cemented THA and to encourage policy changes in Japan to support the best possible care for patients.

It is important to provide an overview of the current management of periprosthetic fractures, including techniques for osteosynthesis and revision total hip and knee arthroplasty, as well as special considerations for periprosthetic acetabular fractures, periprosthetic tibial fractures, and interprosthetic femur fractures. In addition, the guiding principles for the management of potential subsequent complications including infection, nonunion, and instability are discussed.

The Johnson and Johnson faulty hip implant case represents one of the most significant crises in medical device history, impacting nearly 93000 patients worldwide. In response to alarming failure rates and a global recall in August 2010, countries such as Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom quickly implemented revision surgeries and reimbursement programs to protect patient safety. In stark contrast, India's response was alarmingly delayed; defective implants continued to be sold even after the global recall.
