AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of using a curved rasp in total hip replacements via the direct anterior approach, focusing on its impact on reducing femoral stem malalignment.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 160 patients, identifying independent risk factors such as body mass index (BMI) and femoral offset ratio (FAR) that contribute to misalignment.
- Results showed that patients using a curved rasp had a significantly lower incidence of malalignment (27%) compared to those who did not use one (48.7%), indicating that the curved rasp improves the accuracy of femoral stem placement.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether the application of a curved rasp on the femoral side is effective in reducing the incidence of stem malalignment in total hip replacement with direct anterior approach (DAA-THA), followed by the analysis of the independent risk factors affecting stem malalignment.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was carried out covering 160 patients undergoing DAA-THA from January 2019 to December 2021, with Tri-Lock (BPS, Depuy) stem applied in all 113 patients were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data of gender, age, body mass index, preoperative diagnoses, Dorr classification, FAR ratio, pelvic morphology ratio, WOMAC scores, were analyzed to explore the independent factors influencing the malalignment of the femoral prosthesis implantation. Then data of patients were divided into group A and group B according to whether the curved rasp was taken during the operation. The chi-square test was performed to compare the incidence of femoral stem malalignment between the two groups.
Results: There revealed two independent risk factors: BMI and FAR ratio that affected femoral stem malalignment. The increased BMI was associated with a higher probability of femoral stem malalignment (P<0.05), the probability of malalignment of femoral stem in FAR ratio<1 was 1.15 times higher than that in FAR>1(OR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.03-1.28, P<0.05). Further grouping analysis showed that the incidence of femoral stem malalignment in patients with intraoperative application of curved rasp was 27%, while in patients without curved rasp, the incidence of femoral stem malalignment increased significantly to 48.7%(P<0.05). The placement angle of prosthesis in group A was significantly better than that in group B, especially mild femoral stem malalignment (0%) and severe femoral stem malalignment (2.70%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There found no significant difference in age, gander, intraoperative complications and last follow-up assessment of WOMAC scores between the two groups of patients.
Conclusions: In DAA-THA, BMI and FAR ratio act as the independent risk factors for femoral stem malalignment. Intraoperative use of a curved rasp significantly reduces the incidence of malalignment of the femoral stem.

Impact of femoral stem alignment on periprosthetic bone density in THA: a study of the Avenir Complete stem.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, 7-5-1, Kusunoki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo, 650-0017, Japan.
Introduction: Thigh pain, aseptic loosening, and failure after total hip arthroplasty has been reported. Therefore, this study examines the impact of femoral stem alignment on periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) in THA using the Avenir Complete cementless stem, focusing on the role of precise stem alignment in maintaining proximal femoral BMD.
Materials And Methods: Consecutive patients who received the Avenir Complete stem via mini anterolateral approach in the supine position between March 2019 and March 2022 were included.
EUROVISCO Consensus Guidelines for the Use of Hyaluronic Acid Viscosupplementation in Knee Osteoarthritis Based on Patient Characteristics.

Objectives: Viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA) is a commonly used intra-articular treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). We performed a Delphi consensus process to formulate guidelines for the use of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) knee injection according to the patient's characteristics.
Methods: The EUROVISCO group consists of 12 members who had expertise in clinical and/or research in the field of OA and IAHA treatment.
Does Mal-alignment of the CLS Spotorno Femoral Stem Correlate with Functional Outcome of Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty? An Evaluation at Mid-term Follow Up.

Department of Orthopaedics, Nehru Hospital, PGIMER, Chandigarh, 160012 India.
Background: The straight and thin design of the CLS Spotorno stem makes it prone for coronal plane mal-alignment, with potential for cortical impingement; reactive osteogenesis and thigh pain have been documented in this situation with some stems. The literature is scarce about the effect of distal mal-alignment with this particular stem, and its relationship with thigh pain, functional outcomes and stem survival. We assessed functional outcomes with incidence of varus/valgus CLS stem alignment, and correlated stem subsidence of these thin stems with hip scores.

Article Synopsis
- Metallosis can occur not just in Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip replacements, but also in metal-on-polyethylene (PE) articulations, making diagnosis challenging.
- A case study of a 35-year-old woman showed that after experiencing recurrent dislocation four years post-surgery, intraoperative metallosis was confirmed during revision surgery after changes to her hip implant.
- Early detection of metallosis is crucial, as subtle signs can easily be overlooked, and prompt treatment can prevent further complications like osteolysis and soft tissue damage.

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine implant survivorship and functional outcomes for revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) with contemporary rotating-hinge knee implants.
Methods: A retrospective review identified 115 rTKAs using contemporary rotating-hinge implants from 2014 to 2018 for the treatment of instability (34, 30%), reimplantation after periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (33, 29%), aseptic loosening (25, 22%), arthrofibrosis (14, 12%), periprosthetic fracture (4, 3%), osteolysis (4, 3%), and femoral component fracture (1, 1%). There were 70 women (61%), and the mean age was 67 years (range, 27 to 94).
