    There are many commercially available artificial nerve conduits, used mostly to repair short gaps in sensory nerves. The stages of nerve regeneration in a nerve conduit are fibrin matrix formation between the nerve stumps joined to the conduit, capillary extension and Schwann cell migration from both nerve stumps, and, finally, axon extension from the proximal nerve stump. Artificial nerves connecting transected nerve stumps with a long interstump gap should be biodegradable, soft and pliable; have the ability to maintain an intrachamber fibrin matrix structure that allows capillary invasion of the tubular lumen, inhibition of scar tissue invasion and leakage of intratubular neurochemical factors from the chamber; and be able to accommodate cells that produce neurochemical factors that promote nerve regeneration. Here, we describe current progress in the development of artificial nerve conduits and the future studies needed to create nerve conduits, the nerve regeneration of which is compatible with that of an autologous nerve graft transplanted over a long nerve gap.

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the association between muscle density as an indicator of fatty infiltration of lower extremity muscles and physical activity (PA) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and identify the patient characteristics with high postoperative PA. METHODS: This study included 62 female patients who underwent THA for unilateral hip osteoarthritis. Muscle density of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, iliopsoas, and quadriceps muscles was measured using computed tomography (CT). PA was assessed using University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scores. CT and UCLA activity score were obtained before and 1 year after THA. The patients were divided into two groups, sufficient (score ≥ 6) and insufficient (score < 6) activity groups, based on their level of PA as determined by their UCLA activity score 1 year after THA. The association of PA with the amount of changes in muscle density was examined with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify postoperative factors determining PA at 1 year after THA. RESULTS: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed a significantly positive association between recovery in PA and an increase in muscle density of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, iliopsoas, and quadriceps muscles. Additionally, logistic regression analysis confirmed that postoperative muscle densities of the gluteus maximus and quadriceps muscles were variables determining the PA 1 year after THA. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicated that the improvement of fatty infiltration in lower limb muscles, especially in the gluteus maximus and quadriceps, is likely to promote the increase in postoperative PA.

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the surgical outcomes of double free muscle transfer (DFMT) performed in patients with complete brachial plexus injury (BPI). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of DFMT for 12 patients with complete BPI who were followed up for more than 2 years after the final muscle transplantation. Their mean age was 29 years (range, 18-41). Three patients underwent contralateral C7 nerve root transfer before the DFMT. The range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder, elbow, and fingers was measured. Patient-reported outcome measures, including Disability of the Shoulder, Arm, and Hand (DASH) scores and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain, were also examined. RESULTS: The mean shoulder ROM against gravity was 22° ± 8° in abduction and 33° ± 5° in flexion. Seven patients underwent phrenic nerve (PhN) transfer to the suprascapular nerves, and five exhibited asymptomatic lung impairment on spirography more than 2 years after PhN transfer. The mean elbow ROM against gravity was 111° ± 9° in flexion and -32° ± 7° in extension. All patients obtained elbow flexion >90° against a 0.5-kg weight. All patients obtained touch sensation and two recognized warm and cold sensations in the affected palm. The mean total active motion of the affected fingers was 44° ± 11°. All patients exhibited hook function of the hands. The mean preoperative and postoperative DASH scores were 70.3 ± 13.4 and 51.8 ± 15.9, respectively. The mean pain VAS score was 28 ± 31 at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Double free muscle transfer provided patients with complete brachial plexus palsy with good elbow flexion and hand hook functions. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic IV.

    PURPOSE: Rapidly destructive coxarthrosis (RDC) is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology. This study evaluated sagittal spinopelvic alignment (SSPA) in patients with RDC and compared it with that in patients with hip osteoarthritis (HOA). In addition, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to investigate the distribution of stress on the femoral head in RDC versus HOA. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients who had undergone primary total hip arthroplasty for RDC (n = 33) and HOA (n = 99; age- and sex-matched to patients with RDC) at three hospitals from June 2014 to September 2020. Preoperative SSPA parameters and inflammatory blood markers were compared between the two groups. FEA on the computed tomography data was performed for four patients from each group with similar pelvic tilt (PT) and lateral center-edge angle (LCEA). The distribution of Drucker-Prager equivalent stress was assessed at the loaded area of the femoral head. RESULTS: Patients with RDC had significantly higher PT, lower sacral slope, decreased lumbar lordosis (LL), higher sagittal vertical axis, and higher pelvic incidence minus LL than patients with HOA, indicating sagittal spinal imbalance. Blood test revealed patients with RDC had higher levels of inflammation markers than patients with HOA. FEA revealed no statistically significant difference in the degree of stress concentration or the maximum equivalent stress between the two groups when PT and LCEA were comparable. CONCLUSION: Patients with RDC tend to have sagittally imbalanced spine. Decreased acetabular coverage of the femoral head may heighten mechanical load of the hip joint in patients with RDC.

    BACKGROUND: Many studies on closed suction drainage (CSD) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) have demonstrated that it has no definite benefit. However, evidence of the clinical benefits of CSD in revision THA has not yet been established. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to investigate the benefits of CSD in revision THA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed 107 hips of patients who underwent revision THA between June 2014 and May 2022, excluding cases of fracture and infection. We compared perioperative blood test results, calculated total blood loss (TBL), and postoperative complications, including allogenic blood transfusion (ABT), wound complications, and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), between the groups with and without CSD. Propensity score matching was conducted to balance patients' demographics and surgical factors. RESULTS: ABT, wound complications, and DVT were observed in 10.3% (n = 11), 5.6% (six), and 5.6% (six) of patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in ABT, calculated TBL, wound complications, and DVT between all patients and propensity score-matched patients with or without CSD. The calculated TBL was approximately 1200 mL and showed no significant difference between the two groups in the matched cohort (p = 0.40) but tended to have a greater volume in the drain group than in the non-drain group. CONCLUSION: The routine use of CSD in revision THA for aseptic loosening may not be useful in clinical practice.

    BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated that low back pain (LBP) improves after total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the mechanism underlying this improvement remains unclear. We aimed to investigate changes in the spinal parameters of patients who had LBP improvement after THA to elucidate the mechanism of LBP improvement. METHODS: We included 261 patients who underwent primary THA between December 2015 and June 2021 and had a preoperative visual analog scale score of ≥ 2 for LBP. The patients were classified into the LBP-improved or LBP-continued groups based on the visual analog scale for LBP at 1 year after THA. Preoperative and postoperative changes in the coronal and sagittal spinal parameters were compared between the 2 groups after propensity score matching for age, sex, body mass index, and preoperative spinal parameters. RESULTS: A total of 161 patients (61.7%) were classified into the LBP-improved group. After 85 patients in both groups were matched, the LBP-improved group showed significant differences in spinal parameter changes, which were a higher lumbar lordosis (LL) (P = .04) and lower sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (P = .02) and pelvic incidence (PI) minus LL (PI-LL) (P = .01) postoperatively, whereas the LBP-continued group showed worsened changes in LL and SVA and PI-LL mismatch. CONCLUSION: Patients who had LBP improvement after THA had significant differences in spinal parameter changes in LL, SVA, and PI-LL. These spinal parameters may be the key factors in the mechanism of LBP improvement after THA.

    PURPOSE: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly performed in older adults, and the prevalence of vertebral compression fracture (VCF) increases with age. We aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of THA in patients with VCF. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 453 patients who underwent THA at our institution between 2015 and 2021. We classified patients into those with and without VCF. VCF was identified using preoperative upright whole-spine radiographs. Spinal parameters, preoperative and 1-year postoperative clinical outcomes of the Harris hip score (HHS), Oxford hip score (OHS), and visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain (LBP) were assessed. Furthermore, propensity score-matched cohorts for age, sex, body mass index, and spinal parameters were created, and the clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Among the 453 patients, 51 (11.3%) with VCF and 402 without VCF were identified. Before matching, patients with VCF were older (p < 0.01), had sagittal spinal imbalance (p < 0.01), and had worse clinical outcomes pre- and postoperatively. After matching 47 patients in both groups, patients with VCF had worse HHS (p < 0.05), especially regarding support and distance walked, and worse VAS scores for LBP (p < 0.05) pre- and postoperatively. However, the improvements in scores were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: HHS, especially regarding support and distance walked, and VAS scores for LBP were poorer in patients with VCF preoperatively and 1-year postoperatively. Our findings suggest that hip surgeons should evaluate not only spinal alignment but also the presence of VCF before performing THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Retrospective cohort study.

    BACKGROUND: Although introduction of minimally invasive techniques via anterolateral approaches considerably decreased prolonged limp after total hip arthroplasty (THA), potential damage to the abductor muscles is still a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the residual damage after primary THA with two types of anterolateral approach by assessing fatty infiltration and atrophy of the gluteus medius (GMed) and gluteus minimus (GMin) muscles. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 100 primary THAs using computed tomography; surgeries were performed by detaching the anterior part of the abductor muscles with a bone fragment (anterolateral approach with trochanteric flip osteotomy) or without it (anterolateral approach without trochanteric flip osteotomy). The change in radiodensities (RDs), cross-sectional areas (CSAs), and clinical scores preoperatively and at 1 year after operation were evaluated. RESULTS: The RD and CSA of GMed increased 1 year postoperatively in 86 and 81% of patients, respectively, while RD and CSA of GMin decreased in 71 and 94%, respectively. The improvement of RD of GMed was more frequently seen in the posterior rather than the anterior part, while the GMin decreased in both parts. The RD decrease of GMin was significantly lower in the anterolateral approach with trochanteric flip osteotomy group than the anterolateral approach without trochanteric flip osteotomy group (P = .0250). However, there was no difference in the clinical scores between the two groups. The change in the RD of GMed was the only factor that correlated with clinical scores. CONCLUSION: The two anterolateral approaches both improved the RD of GMed, recovery of which was significantly associated with postoperative clinical scores. Although the two approaches showed different recovery patterns in GMin until 1 year after THA, both showed similar improvements in clinical scores.

    BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gait and fat infiltration in anterior and posterior gluteus minimus in the patients with hip osteoarthritis. METHODS: Ninety-one female patients who were diagnosed as the unilateral hip osteoarthritis, classified into Kellgren-Lawrence global scoring system grades 3 or 4, and candidate for total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively reviewed. The horizontally cross-sectional regions of interest for the gluteus medius and anterior and posterior gluteus minimus were manually circumscribed in a single transaxial computed tomography image and muscle density of those regions were obtained. The gait was assessed as the step and speed with the 10-Meter Walk Test. The multiple regression analysis was used to compare the step and speed with age, height, range of motion in flexion, the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side, and that of gluteus medius muscle in both affected and unaffected sides. FINDINGS: Multiple regression analysis for step revealed that the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side and height were the independent predictors for step (R2 = 0.389, p < 0.001). That for speed identified the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side as the only factor determining speed (R2 = 0.287, p < 0.001). INTERPRETATION: The fatty infiltration of anterior gluteus minimus muscle in affected side can be a predictor for the gait in in female with unilateral hip osteoarthritis and candidates for total hip arthroplasty.

    Abstract Sulfonation and applications of amorphous calcium phosphate are known to make polyetheretherketone (PEEK) bioactive. Sulfonation followed by precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate (AN-treatment) may provide PEEK with further bone-bonding strength. Herein, we prepared a carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK (CPEEK) with similar tensile strength to cortical bone and a CPEEK subjected to AN-treatment (CPEEK-AN). The effect of AN-treatment on the bone-bonding strength generated at the interface between the rabbit’s tibia and a base material was investigated using a detaching test at two time-points (4 and 8 weeks). At 4 weeks, the strength of CPEEK-AN was significantly higher than that of CPEEK due to the direct bonding between the interfaces. Between 4 and 8 weeks, the different bone forming processes showed that, with CPEEK-AN, bone consolidation was achieved, thus improving bone-bonding strength. In contrast, with CPEEK, a new bone was absorbed mainly on the interface, leading to poor strength. These observations were supported by an in vitro study, which showed that pre-osteoblast on CPEEK-AN caused earlier maturation and mineralization of the extracellular matrix than on CPEEK. Consequently, AN-treatment, comprising a combination of two efficient treatments, generated a synergetic effect on the bonding strength of CPEEK.

    AIMS: The preventive effects of bisphosphonates on articular cartilage in non-arthritic joints are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral bisphosphonates on the rate of joint space narrowing in the non-arthritic hip. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed standing whole-leg radiographs from patients who underwent knee arthroplasties from 2012 to 2020 at our institute. Patients with previous hip surgery, Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ II hip osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, or rheumatoid arthritis were excluded. The rate of hip joint space narrowing was measured in 398 patients (796 hips), and the effects of the use of bisphosphonates were examined using the multivariate regression model and the propensity score matching (1:2) model. RESULTS: A total of 45 of 398 (11.3%) eligible patients were taking an oral bisphosphonate at the time of knee surgery, with a mean age of 75.8 years (SD 6.2) in bisphosphonate users and 75.7 years (SD 6.8) in non-users. The mean joint space narrowing rate was 0.04 mm/year (SD 0.11) in bisphosphonate users and 0.12 mm/year (SD 0.25) in non-users (p < 0.001). In the multivariate model, age (standardized coefficient = 0.0867, p = 0.016) and the use of a bisphosphonate (standardized coefficient = -0.182, p < 0.001) were associated with the joint space narrowing rate. After successfully matching 43 bisphosphonate users and 86 non-users, the joint narrowing rate was smaller in bisphosphonate users (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The use of bisphosphonates is associated with decreased joint degeneration in non-arthritic hips after knee arthroplasty. Bisphosphonates slow joint degeneration, thus maintaining the thickness of joint cartilage in the normal joint or during the early phase of osteoarthritis.Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2022;11(11):826-834.

In this study, we evaluated the bone-bonding ability and antibacterial activity of a novel biomaterial for preventing implant-associated infections. We have previously reported that NaOH heat treatment improved the bone-bonding ability of titanium, which was later modified to release target ions from the calcium titanate surface. Iodine, an essential nutrient, exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity; hence, we designed a calcium titanate that releases iodine ions (Ca-I-Ti). The material was prepared from a simple solution using heat treatments as well as inexpensive devices and chemical agents. MC3T3-E1 cells seeded on Ca-I-Ti displayed high degrees of bioactivity and viability, and Ca-I-Ti exhibited antibacterial activity against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo biomechanical and histological experiments showed that Ca-I-Ti had excellent bone-bonding ability at 8 weeks after implantation. In a subcutaneous infection model in rats, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus on the implant was reduced by approximately 95% compared to that on commercially pure titanium, indicating that Ca-I-Ti has antibacterial effects in vivo. In addition, no local or systemic complications were observed, and active infection in the surrounding tissues was histologically inhibited. Thus, iodine-containing calcium titanate is a safe biomaterial with excellent bioactivity and antibacterial properties, indicating its potential in preventing implant-associated infections.

    INTRODUCTION: The surface topography is one key factor that affects the initial fixation of prosthesis in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We aimed to evaluate the mid-term results of a Zweymüller-type noncemented femoral implant (Elance stem) that had a matte surface with a target average roughness of 1.0 to 2.5 μm. The prosthesis was subjected to alkali and heat treatments to enhance its bone-bonding property. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 30 THAs (27 patients) done using an Elance stem from September 2012 to October 2014 were evaluated clinically and radiographically for a mean follow-up of 6.3 ± 1.7 years after the index THA. RESULTS: Stem revision was indicated for six hips (20%). The survival rate with stem revision for any reason was 86.4% (95% confidence interval, 68.9%-94.8%) at 5 years. Stem subsidence >5 mm was noted in 17 hips (56.7%). The survival rate with stem subsidence >5 mm as the end point was 46.6% (95% confidence interval, 29.9%-64.2%) at 5 years. CONCLUSION: The Zweymüller-type noncemented stem with a low-roughness matte surface demonstrated a high subsidence rate, although the bone-bonding property was potentially enhanced by the alkali and heat treatments. Surgeons should be aware that an insufficient surface roughness could lead to poor mechanical fixation of the noncemented stem, even with an appropriate stem geometry and surface chemistry.

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the reproducibility, criterion-related validity, and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the stair negotiation test (SNT) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: Sixty patients who underwent THA were included in this study. They performed the SNT and rated their difficulty in stair negotiation (question 7 of the Oxford Hip Score [OHSQ7]) before and 6 months after surgery. The SNT determined the time taken by a patient to ascend, turn around, and descend the stairs (15 cm × 4 steps) and was measured twice each time. As a measure of reproducibility, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC1,1) was calculated using the preoperative SNT. As an index of criterion-related validity, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between the better score of two trials in the preoperative SNT and the OHSQ7. The MCID of the SNT was calculated using the distribution-based method and the anchor-based method. The change in the OHSQ7 between before and after surgery was used as an anchor in the latter method. RESULTS: The ICC1,1 of the SNT was 0.97. The SNT was significantly correlated with the OHSQ7 (r = 0.40, p < .05). Moreover, the anchor-based MCID of the SNT was 1.98 seconds. CONCLUSION: The SNT is an objective assessable test of stair negotiation ability in post-THA patients that has good reproducibility and moderate criterion-related validity. Changes in the SNT beyond the MCID (1.98 seconds) represent clinically important changes in stair negotiation ability.

    OBJECTIVE: To develop clinical prediction rule (CPR) of physical activity at 1-year after total hip arthroplasty (THA). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: University hospital with orthopedic surgery. PARTICIPANTS: The study group included 321 patients (56 men) who underwent primary THA. INTERVENTION: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: The data collected included age, body mass index, clinical score from the questionnaires, hip pain, range of motion, muscle strength, and Physical functions (10-Meter Walk Test, Timed Up and Go test and Sit-to-stand). Patients were classified into sufficient and insufficient activity groups based on their University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score 1 year after THA. Variables measured preoperatively and at 3 weeks postoperatively were analyzed using univariate and multivariate methods to derive CPR for physical activity. RESULTS: A CPR was developed using the following five factors and cut-offs: age, ≤70.5 years; preoperative UCLA activity score, ≥3.5; preoperative hip abduction strength, ≥0.54 Nm/kg; preoperative knee extension strength, ≥1.04 Nm/kg; and 10-Meter Walk Test, ≤8.49 s at 3 weeks after surgery. The presence of four of the five factors predicted a sufficient physical activity level at 1-year, with a positive likelihood ratio of 5.94 and probability of 85.4%. The presence of five predictor variables increased the probability of sufficient physical activity after THA to 94.7%. CONCLUSION: This study developed a CPR for physical activity at 1-year after THA. Having four or more of the five measurements were useful indicators for predicting of physical activity at 1 year postoperatively.

    PURPOSE: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the benefits of closed suction drainage (CSD) in hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) with intra-articular administration of tranexamic acid (TXA). METHODS: We included 369 hips that underwent primary hybrid THA between November 2015 and September 2020. We compared peri-operative blood test results, blood loss, and post-operative complications including transfusion, wound complications, and venous thromboembolism (VTE) with or without CSD. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline patient demographics. RESULTS: Transfusion, wound complications, and VTE were observed in 1.9% (seven), 2.4% (nine), and 2.2% (eight) of hips, respectively. There were no significant differences in transfusion, blood loss, wound complications, and deep venous thrombosis in both overall patients and propensity score-matched patients with or without CSD. The calculated total blood loss was approximately 600 ml and showed no significant difference between the two groups in the matched cohort (p = 0.59). CONCLUSION: CSD does not provide any benefits and is not needed in primary hybrid THA with intra-articular administration of TXA.

    Objective: To assess the status of 10 patients with advanced osteonecrosis of the femoral head who underwent mesenchymal stromal cell transplants and a 12-week rehabilitation program 10 years earlier. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: University clinical research laboratory. Participants: Patients (N=10) who had undergone mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation and rehabilitation for a single hip osteonecrosis of the femoral head 10 years prior to the current study were recruited by telephone. The average age was 31.7 years and all participants were men; radiographic stages were 3A in 6 patients and 3B in 4 patients before treatment. Intervention: A 12-week rehabilitation program with follow-up once every 1 to 2 years was performed after mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation. Main Outcome Measures: Radiographic analysis, clinical score, timed Up and Go test, hip function (range of motion, muscle strength), and Short Form-36 scores were assessed before treatment and 1 and 10 years after treatment. Results: Upon imaging, 5 hips were found to be stable (stable group) and 5 had progressed (progressed group); 2 of the latter group required a total hip arthroplasty. The pretreatment radiographic stage of the progressed group was more advanced than that of the stable group. Body mass index was higher in the progressed group than in the stable group. Hip function and clinical score at 1 and 10 years after treatment improved in the hips of 8 patients without total hip arthroplasty. There were no severe adverse events during the rehabilitation. Conclusions: The 12-week rehabilitation program and annual follow-up after mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation for osteonecrosis of the femoral head was associated with pain reduction, maintaining hip muscle strength, widening range of motion, and improving quality of life. The level and timing of weight-bearing and social activity should be planned according to the individual's lifestyle and body composition.

    AIMS: The relationship between prosthetic position and range of motion (ROM) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been rigorously examined. However, the effects of limb lengthening on postoperative hip ROM remain unclarified. We aimed to examine the effect of limb lengthening on hip ROM after THA. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data from 120 patients who underwent unilateral THA. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to evaluate the effects of the following patient- and surgery-related covariates on hip flexion ROM at 3, 6, and 12 months after THA: age, sex, body mass index, diagnosis, preoperative University of California Los Angeles activity score, preoperative Oxford Hip Score, preoperative flexion ROM, amount of leg lengthening, cup inclination, and cup anteversion. RESULTS: A large preoperative hip flexion ROM was the strongest predictor of a large hip flexion ROM at 12 months after THA (standardized coefficient: 0.519, P < 0.0001). A larger amount of leg lengthening was associated with a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM (standardized coefficient: -0.159, P = 0.039), and male sex was another predictor of a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM (standardized coefficient: -0.204, P = 0.014). Cup inclination (P = 0.99) and anteversion (P = 0.18) were not significantly associated with hip flexion ROM at 12 months after THA. DISCUSSION: A large amount of limb lengthening was associated with decreased hip flexion ROM after THA. In THA, minimizing the leg length discrepancy is important; however, the postoperative improvement in hip flexion ROM may be limited when a large amount of leg lengthening is needed.

    BACKGROUND: Polyethylene wear is one of the major concerns of orthopedic surgeons. However, there is no standardized calculation method for the wear rate following radiographic measurement. The purpose of this study was to propose a novel method of wear calculation and to compare its accuracy with a representative conventional method. METHODS: Relative position of the center of the femoral head to that of the cup progresses in one direction following arthroplasty surgery because of bedding-in and wear. We predetermined the amount of bedding-in, wear rate, and random error in measuring the head center position in a 2-dimensional plane. We calculated the wear rate using the head center coordinates over a certain number of measurement periods using a representative conventional method and our novel method. The conventional method consisted of transforming vector data into scalars and conducting a least-squares method. The least-squares method was directly applied to each component of the vector in the novel method. We evaluated the accuracy of these methods by comparing the expected value for the wear rate with their predetermined true values. RESULTS: If the error were limited to being random, the novel method could provide the predetermined wear rate as the calculation result. However, the conventional method could not. CONCLUSION: We recommend using the novel method for the wear calculation rather than the conventional method because of its mathematical accuracy.

    MINI: The pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) were associated with the progression of hip joint narrowing after spinal fusion, especially after fusion of four or more levels. Surgeons need to be aware of the risk of increased hip joint narrowing in patients with a large PI, SS, and PI-LL after fusion surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effects of spinopelvic alignment parameters after spinal fusion on the rate of joint space narrowing in nonarthritic hips. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Spinal fusion affects the forces on the adjacent hip joint. Therefore, hip joint narrowing may be increased after spinal fusion surgery. However, the relationship between spinal alignment and hip degeneration remains unclarified. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data from patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion from 2011 to 2018 at our institute. Patients with hip osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥II) or hip dysplasia were excluded. The rate of hip joint space narrowing after spinal fusion was measured in 191 patients (382 hips). We assessed the effects of the following spinopelvic alignment parameters on the joint narrowing rate: pelvic tilt, sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), PI-LL, sagittal vertical axis, and distance between the C7 plumb line, and the central sacral vertical line (C7-CSVL). RESULTS: The hip joint narrowing rate was greater when four or more levels were fused compared with single-level fusion. After adjusting for the effects of patient-related factors, the alignment parameters significantly associated with the hip joint narrowing rate were the PI (P = 0.0002), SS (P = 0.047), and PI-LL (P = 0.0022). A subgroup analysis of patients who underwent long fusion (four or more levels combined with iliac screws) also indicated that the PI (P = 0.013), SS (P = 0.0054), and PI-LL (P = 0.046) were associated with the hip joint narrowing rate. CONCLUSION: The PI, SS, and PI-LL were associated with the progression of hip joint narrowing after spinal fusion, especially after fusion of four or more levels. Surgeons need to be aware of the risk of increased hip joint narrowing in patients with a large PI, SS, and PI-LL after fusion surgery.Level of Evidence: Level III.

    AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of first-generation annealed highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 29 patients (35 hips) who underwent THA between December 2000 and February 2002. The survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Hip joint function was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. Two-dimensional polyethylene wear was estimated using Martell's Hip Analysis Suite. We calculated the wear rates between years 1 and 5, 5 and 10, 10 and 15, and 15 and final follow-up. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 19.1 years (SD 0.6; 17.3 to 20.1). The 19-year overall survival rate with the end point of all-cause revision was 97.0% (95% confidence interval (CI) 91 to 100). The mean JOA score improved from 43.2 (SD 10.6; 30 to 76) before surgery to 90.2 (SD 6.4; 76 to 98) at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). There was no osteolysis or loosening of the acetabular or femoral components. The overall steady-state wear rate was 0.013 mm/year (SD 0.012). There was no hip with a steady-state wear rate of > 0.1 mm/year. There was no significant difference in wear rates for each period. We found no significant correlation between the wear rate and age, body weight, BMI, or cup inclination. CONCLUSION: First-generation annealed HXLPE shows excellent wear resistance and no acceleration of wear for approximately 20 years, with low all-cause revision rates.

    Background: The primary objectives of total hip arthroplasty (THA) include mobility improvement and pain relief; however, the correlation between hip range of motion (ROM) and function remains unclear. We aimed to explore how ROM affects hip functions after THA and compare the responsiveness of each component of the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) to preoperative and postoperative ROM. Methods: This prospective observational study involved 120 patients who underwent unilateral THA. Univariate regression analyses were performed using the University of California Los Angeles activity score and mHHS and OHS to determine the effects of preoperative and postoperative flex ROM on clinical scores at 12 months. Multivariate regressions were performed to adjust for the confounding effects of patient factors: age, sex, body mass index, and diagnosis. Results: A larger preoperative flexion ROM was associated with a higher score in the mHHS socks component (standardized coefficient [SC] = 0.26, P = .0041) at 12 months; the effect on the OHS socks component was not significant (P = .34). A larger flexion ROM at 12 months was associated with higher scores in the mHHS support (SC = 0.21, P = .026), stairs (SC = 0.35, P = .0002), and socks (SC = 0.32, P = .0007) components but had no significant effect on any OHS component. The effects of ROM on University of California Los Angeles activity score were limited. Conclusions: A discrepancy was noted in the responsiveness to ROM between the two major measurement tools; this difference might be because mHHS and OHS are surgeon- and patient-administered questionnaires, respectively. This discrepancy also suggests that the patients have higher satisfaction than that assumed by the surgeons.

    BACKGROUND: Cementless glass ceramics containing apatite and wollastonite (AW-GC) bottom-coated titanium hip implants were developed; early excellent clinical and radiographic results have been reported previously. This study aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes in detail, and the wear rate of HXLPE. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 99 patients (117 hips) between November 2001 and December 2007. The survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Hip joint function was evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. The extent of radiographic signs was determined from the radiographs performed at the last follow-up. Polyethylene wear was measured using Martell's Hip Analysis Suite. We assessed the possible factors affecting the steady-state linear wear rate. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 14.8 ± 2.1 (10-18.6) years. The mean JOA score improved to 88.7 ± 9.4 (59-100) at the final follow-up from 47.8 ± 12.5 (17-76) before surgery. The overall survival rate with the end point of all-cause revision and wear-related revision was 99% and 100% respectively. There was no osteolysis or loosening of either the acetabular or femoral component. All hips were classified as having bone ingrowth fixation. The mean steady-state wear rate was 0.008 ± 0.025 mm/year. We found no significant correlation between the wear rate and age, body weight, body mass index, cup inclination and femoral head size. CONCLUSION: The combination of AW-GC bottom-coated implants and HXLPE showed excellent implant survival and wear resistance for 15 years.

    OBJECTIVE: This retrospective study aimed to compare radiodensity measurements and Goutallier grading systems for the evaluation of fatty infiltration in hip abductors. METHODS: The radiodensity of the gluteus minimus and medius muscles was measured in 80 hips of 40 patients. These muscles were graded for fatty infiltration using three five-grade classification systems: the original Goutallier classification on both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a new objective classification based on the percentage of the functional muscle area (defined as 30-100 Hounsfield units). After measuring and grading the abductors, correlation coefficients between them were analyzed. RESULTS: Spearman's rank correlation coefficients (ρ) between radiodensity measurements of abductors and the Goutallier classification on CT and MRI were -0.701 and -0.552 for the gluteus minimus and -0.832 and -0.740 for the gluteus medius, respectively. Our new classification had correlation coefficients of -0.844 and -0.926 for the gluteus minimus and gluteus medius, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Radiodensity measurements showed a strong correlation with the grading systems, particularly with the new classification based on the percentage of the functional muscle area. Considering the subjective nature of the original Goutallier grading systems, we conclude that radiodensity assessment is feasible and more objective for evaluating fatty infiltration in hip abductors.

    BACKGROUND: Spinal disorders and low back pain (LBP) have been associated with worse clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is essential to identify spinal factors associated with post-THA LBP improvement. Therefore, we aimed to determine the proportion of patients with improved LBP after THA and to identify the preoperative spinal factors associated with LBP improvement. METHODS: We included 151 patients who underwent primary THA between December 2015 and December 2019 and had a preoperative visual analog scale score for LBP of ≥2. The patients were classified into the LBP improved or LBP continued group based on a visual analog scale score for LBP at 1 year after THA. Preoperative spinal parameters were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: Ninety-five patients (62.9%) were classified into the LBP improved group. Among the coronal spinal parameters, the Cobb angle was significantly lower in the LBP improved group. Among the sagittal spinal parameters, the LBP continued group showed a significantly more posteriorly titled pelvis, lower lumbar lordosis, greater sagittal vertical axis, and greater pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis mismatch, indicating a sagittal spinal imbalance. Logistic regression analysis found that preoperative factors associated with LBP improvement after THA had a low Cobb angle and high anterior pelvic plane angle (anteriorly tilted pelvis). CONCLUSION: Among patients with LBP before THA, 62.9% had improved LBP. Sagittal spinal imbalance and high Cobb angle were the key spinal factors associated with persistent LBP. Our findings suggest that hip surgeons should evaluate spinal alignment before THA in patients with LBP.

    Introduction: The locking compression plate (LCP) system for pediatric hips has improved fixation and angular stability. Herein, we report a rare case in which all proximal locking compression screws were broken before weight bearing in the early post-operative period after derotational femoral osteotomy in a child with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Case Report: Derotational femoral osteotomy was performed using a LCP system for a 9-year-old boy with spastic CP to correct excessive femoral anteversion, causing unstable toe-in gait. Proximal screw breakage was found 2 weeks postoperatively during hip-spica casting under non-weight-bearing conditions. Implant breakage was considered a result of the excessive spasticity of the lower limb. At the time of reoperation, shortening and varus correction of the femur and muscle tendon release were performed in addition to the refixation of the osteotomy. Intensive pain control was ensured, and anti-spastic medication and botulinum toxin injection were administered. Complete bone healing was successfully achieved 6 months after the second surgery. Conclusion: Surgeons need to consider the spasticity of the lower limb as a cause of implant failure. Management to reduce spasticity and mechanical load to the implant is important for preventing implant failures in patients with spastic CP.

    INTRODUCTION: Hip-spine syndrome, wherein flexion deformity of the hip might exaggerate normal lumbar lordosis (LL), was first described in 1983. It could result in subluxation of the posterior facets and cause low back pain (LBP). However, the clinical outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and spinal alignment changes in patients with lumbar hyperlordosis (hyper LL) remain unknown. We aimed to clarify the proportion of patients with hyper LL before THA and compare pre- and post-operative sagittal spinal alignment, LBP, and clinical outcomes between patients with hyper LL and those with normal LL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated 278 patients who underwent primary THA between December 2015 and December 2019. Spine radiographs in the standing position were examined preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Patients with hyper LL were defined as having a pelvic incidence (PI) minus LL of < - 9° preoperatively. The control group included age- and sex-matched patients with normal LL, defined by a PI minus LL of - 9° to 9°. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for LBP, Harris hip score (HHS), Oxford hip score (OHS), and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score. RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients (13.7%) had hyper LL, and they exhibited a lower pelvic tilt, lower sagittal vertical axis, and greater sigmoid curvature than did the controls. Evaluation of changes in the spinal alignment after surgery showed that the pelvis tilted more posteriorly, and LL decreased more in the hyper LL group than in the control group. Pre- and post-operative VAS for LBP, HHS, OHS, and UCLA activity scores were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Hyper LL in patients with hip osteoarthritis had no adverse effects on LBP and the clinical outcomes of THA. Hyper LL may partially result from a flexible and adaptable lumbo-pelvic structure.

    INTRODUCTION: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) with acetabular dysplasia negatively affects pelvic alignment and muscle function. We aimed to investigate the changes in muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration of the hip and trunk muscles 1 year after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with hip OA with acetabular dysplasia. METHODS: This study included 51 female patients who underwent THA for unilateral hip OA with acetabular dysplasia. The cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle density of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, piriformis, iliopsoas, rectus abdominis, and abdominal oblique muscles using computer tomography and pelvic inclination angle using radiographs were assessed before and 1 year after THA. RESULTS: At the 1-year follow-up, the CSA and muscle density of the gluteus medius (2,078 to 2,522 mm2 and 30.3 to 39.4 hounsfield units [HU]), iliopsoas (715 to 901 mm2 and 40.3 to 50.8 HU), and rectus abdominis (336 to 363 mm2 and 28.6 to 30.6 HU) of the affected limb had increased significantly (P < 0.05). The CSA and muscle density of the gluteus maximus (2,429 versus 2,884 mm2 and 23.7 versus 32.6 HU), gluteus minimus (636 versus 785 mm2 and 14.3 versus 37.1 HU), piriformis (505 versus 607 mm2 and 23.4 versus 31.6 HU), and iliopsoas (901 versus 997 mm2 and 50.8 versus 54.5 HU) in the affected limb were lower than those in the unaffected limb (P < 0.01). Postoperatively, the CSA and muscle density of the rectus abdominis were not significantly different between the limbs, and the pelvic inclination angle (35.2° to 32.1°, P < 0.01) was significantly decreased. DISCUSSION: Compared with the nonoperated limb, substantial atrophy and fatty infiltration of most hip muscles persisted in the operated limb 1 year after THA in patients with acetabular dysplasia; asymmetry in the rectus abdominis muscle fully resolved. In patients with acetabular dysplasia, the surgical technique and postoperative rehabilitation should be further considered to optimize hip muscle recovery.

    BACKGROUND: Hip abductor weakness due to the progression of hip osteoarthritis (OA) commonly causes poor functional mobility. The hip abductor strength has also been identified as a clinically relevant factor for successful functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the functional characteristics related to hip abductor torque in patients with hip OA. DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey study. METHODS: One hundred and eight female patients with severe unilateral hip OA participated in this study. Hip abductor torque and pain were measured. The muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and skeletal muscle density (SMD) of the gluteal muscles were also measured using computed tomography. To identify the hip parameters associated with hip abductor torque, multiple regression analysis was performed. The healthy model included the CSA and SMD of gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus; range of motion in hip abduction; age; and body mass index. The affected model included hip pain in addition to the healthy model. RESULTS: In the affected limb, multiple regression analysis identified pain and angle of hip abduction as factors that determine hip abductor torque (Adjusted R2 = 0.39). In contrast, our analysis identified CSA and SMD of the gluteus medius and SMD of the gluteus minimus as the significant variables related to hip abductor torque in the healthy limb (Adjusted R2 = 0.40). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study indicated that it is necessary to consider that hip pain may inhibit muscle exertion and contraction while training to improve the hip abductor torque in the affected limb.

    AIMS: We aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented acetabular components and assess whether any radiolucent lines (RLLs) which arose were progressive. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 170 patients who underwent 187 total hip arthroplasties at two hospitals with a minimum follow-up of ten years. All interventions were performed using the same combination of HXLPE cemented acetabular components with femoral stems made of titanium alloy. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed for the primary endpoint of acetabular component revision surgery for any reason and secondary endpoint of the appearance of RLLs. RLLs that had appeared once were observed over time. We statistically assessed potential relationships between RLLs and a number of factors, including the technique of femoral head autografting and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 13.0 years (10.0 to 16.3). Femoral head autografting was performed on 135 hips (72.2%). One acetabular component was retrieved because of deep infection. No revision was performed for the aseptic acetabular loosening. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve for the primary and secondary endpoints were 98.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) 88.6% to 99.8%) and 79.3% (95% CI 72.8% to 84.6%), respectively. RLLs were detected in 38 hips (21.2%), at a mean of 1.7 years (1 month to 6 years) postoperatively. None of the RLLs were progressive, and the presence of RLLs did not show a significant association with the survival and clinical score. RLLs were more frequently observed in hips without femoral head autografts than in those with autografts. CONCLUSION: The use of HXLPE cemented acetabular components in total hip arthroplasty demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes after ten years, and no RLLs were progressive, and their presence did not affect the outcome. Femoral head autografting did not negatively impact the acetabular component survival or the appearance of RLLs. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(10):1604-1610.

    Sol-gel-derived TiO2 coatings have been confirmed to effectively promote bone-bonding behavior on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) surfaces; however, the optimal layer thickness to maximize the osseointegration and adhesive performance has not been yet determined. In this study, we applied sol-gel-derived TiO2 coatings with different layer thicknesses (40 and 120 nm) on PEEK implants to determine the effects of layer thickness on the surface characteristics, adhesive strength, and bone bonding capabilities (including histological osseointegration). The surface analysis results of both coated implants indicated no significant differences concerning the water contact angle, layer adhesion strength, and apatite formation ability in a simulated body fluid. Additionally, the in vivo biomechanical tests revealed a higher bone-bonding strength for both coated PEEK implants (compared with that of the uncoated sample). It was thus concluded that the factor of layer thickness marginally influences the bioactive advantages attained by sol-gel-derived TiO2 coatings on PEEK surfaces, highlighting the significant versatility and clinical availability of this coating technology.

    Background: A prospective, open-label clinical trial, in which transplantation of cultured autologous bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in combination with vascularised bone grafts for the treatment of post-collapse extensive osteonecrosis of the femoral head in ten patients, was conducted previously. The aim of this study was to assess the 10-year clinical and radiographic results of that study. Methods: Patients were evaluated for radiographic progression of osteonecrosis of the femoral head using anteroposterior radiographs at 10 years postoperatively. Clinical score and hip function, including the timed up and go test, were also estimated. Results: Osteoarthritic changes in the affected hip were found in five of the ten patients, two of whom had undergone total hip arthroplasty at 7 and 9 years postoperatively. Five of the six cases (83.3%) in which pre-operative femoral head collapse was less than 3 mm, had no further collapse. On the other hand, all four cases in which pre-operative femoral head collapse was ≥3 mm, showed osteoarthritic changes within 10 years. The average clinical score significantly improved postoperatively and was maintained at 10 years. Conclusions: Considering that eight of 10 post-collapse cases could avoid total hip arthroplasty conversion with good clinical results for 10 years and five of 6 post-collapse cases (collapse <3 mm) could avoid further collapse and osteoarthritic changes for 10 years, mesenchymal stromal cell transplantation in combination with vascularised bone grafts could be an effective treatment for post-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

    CASE: Three middle-aged men with habitual drinking developed unilateral hip pain and were referred for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Radiographs showed osteopenia, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse bone marrow edema (BME). After several months, the patients' symptoms resolved and radiographic images normalized. More than 6 months later, the contralateral side showed the same clinical course. CONCLUSION: Transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) resembles ONFH but heals spontaneously. We report 3 rare cases of sequential TOH, similar in that they occurred in middle-aged male habitual drinkers at risk for ONFH, characterized by diffuse BME on MRI and radiographic resolution.

    BACKGROUND: Fusion of a joint reportedly increases force in the adjacent joints and leads to progression of arthritis. Whether lumbar spinal fusion increases force in the hip joint and promotes wear of the joint space is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of joint-space narrowing in the hip following spinal fusion and to examine the effects of the number of levels fused on the joint-narrowing rate. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data for patients who underwent lumbar spinal fusion from 2011 to 2018 at our institute. Patients with a previous hip surgery, Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥II hip osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and rheumatoid arthritis were excluded. The rate of joint-space narrowing in the hip was measured in 205 eligible patients (410 hips) following spinal fusion, and the effects of sex, age, body mass index, indication for spinal fusion, laterality, sacral fixation, and number of levels fused on the narrowing rate were examined. RESULTS: The rate of joint-space narrowing for all patients was 0.114 ± 0.168 mm/year. The narrowing rate for single-level fusion was 0.062 ± 0.087 mm/year, whereas that for fusion of ≥7 levels was 0.307 ± 0.254 mm/year. In the multivariate regression analysis, only the length of fusion (standardized coefficient [SC] = 0.374, p < 0.0001) was associated with an increased narrowing rate. When the narrowing rate was normalized by height, female sex was another risk factor for increased narrowing (SC = 0.109, p = 0.023). Secondary regression modeling performed with patients who underwent spinal fusion for degenerative disc disease showed that the length of fusion (SC = 0.454, p < 0.0001) and female sex (SC = 0.138, p = 0.033) were associated with increased joint-space narrowing. CONCLUSIONS: Longer spinal fusion was associated with the progression of hip joint narrowing following spinal fusion. Surgeons should be aware of the possible increased risk of hip degeneration following spinal fusion and should inform patients of this risk. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the 2-year outcomes from a clinical trial of recombinant human FGF-2 (rhFGF-2) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Patients & methods: Sixty-four patients with nontraumatic, precollapse and large ONFHs were percutaneously administered with 800 μg rhFGF-2 contained in gelatin hydrogel. Setting the end point of radiological collapse, we analyzed the joint preservation period of the historical control. Changes in two validated clinical scores, bone regeneration and safety were evaluated. Results: Radiological joint preservation time was significantly higher in the rhFGF-2 group than in the control group. The ONFHs tended to improve to smaller ONFHs. The postoperative clinical scores significantly improved. Thirteen serious adverse events showed recovery. Conclusion: rhFGF-2 treatment increases joint preservation time with clinical efficacy, radiological bone regeneration and safety.

    For patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), core decompression (CD) and bone grafts (BG) are mainly performed in the West, while osteotomy is found to be predominant in Japan. It is not well recognized how the surgical procedures for joint preservation in patients with ONFH are completely different between the United States and Japan. This paper identifies the contexts and the differences in treatment strategies for ONFH between the two countries. We compared the surgical trends of the two countries over three periods, 1997-2001, 2002-2006, and 2007-2011 (the US data for the third period was 2007-2008), based on a 2014 US paper and a 2013 national publication in Japan. We compared the details of surgery for non-traumatic ONFH under the same conditions in the two reports. For the period 1997-2001, the rates of surgeries for ONFH in the US were as follows: total hip arthroplasty (THA), 86%; CD, 10%; and osteotomy, 0.4%. In Japan, THA was 61%, osteotomy 38%, and CD 0%. For the recent period, 2007-2011 (US 2007-2008), the rate of THA was 91%, CD 6%, and osteotomy 0.1%, in the US, compared to a THA rate of 73%, CD 0%, and osteotomy 26% in Japan. The results for the interim period (2002-2006) were between the old and new data. The use of joint-preserving surgery for ONFH differs greatly between the US and Japan. The first-line joint-preserving surgery was CD in the US and osteotomy in Japan. Each procedure was rarely done in the other country. From about 2000 to 2010, the percentage of THA increased in both countries. The proportion of joint-preserving surgery (CD in the US and osteotomy in Japan) declined. The decrease in joint-preserving procedures may be largely attributed to improved long-term outcomes of THA due to technological advances. There is also a reluctance for young ONFH patients to undergo joint-preserving procedures, such as osteotomy, that require long-term hospitalization.

    BACKGROUND: Changes in gait speed are required in various situations and can be achieved by changing stride length, cadence, or both. Differences in strategies for increasing gait speed may have different effects on hip joint and physical function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of strategies for increasing gait speed on hip pain, physical function, and changes in hip loading during gait in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesized that patients who increase gait speed mainly by increasing cadence would have lesser hip pain, a higher physical function, and a lower rate of increase in hip moments with increasing gait speed. METHODS: Forty-seven patients with secondary hip OA (age, 48.3 ± 11.0 years) were included. Gait speed, stride length, cadence, and peak and impulse of the hip moments were measured during gait at self-selected normal and fast gait speeds. The patients were classified as types S (with mainly increasing stride length, n = 11 [23.4%]), C (with mainly increasing cadence, n = 23 [48.9%]), and SC (with increasing stride length and cadence, n = 13 [27.7%]) according to whether they used changes in stride length and/or cadence to transition from normal to fast gait. Hip pain, physical function, and hip moment changes during gait were compared between types. RESULTS: The physical function was higher in types C (38.0 ± 8.8, P = 0.018) and SC (40.6 ± 8.5, P = 0.015) than in type S (28.2 ± 7.8), even after adjustment for age and minimum joint space width. Hip pain was not significantly different between types. The robustness of these results was confirmed with sensitivity analysis. The rates of increases in peak external hip adduction (P = 0.003) and internal rotation moments (P = 0.009) were lower in type C than in type SC. CONCLUSIONS: Type C tended to suppress the increase in hip moments during fast gait. Types C and SC, which included increased cadence, maintained higher physical function levels than type S. Encouraging the use of cadence-increasing strategy may be useful for reducing hip loading and maintaining physical function in patients with hip OA.

    Composites of unsintered hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) reinforced by compression forging are biodegradable, bioactive, and have ultrahigh strength. However, foreign body reactions to PLLA and physical irritation can occur when not covered by bone. We aimed to confirm the relationships between the depth of the implanted HA-PLLA threaded pins and the new bone formation. We inserted HA-PLLA composite threaded pins (diameter: 2.0 or 4.5 mm) into the femoral and tibial bones of 32 mature male Japanese white rabbits (weight 3.0-3.5 kg) with the pin head 1 or 0 mm below or protruding 1 or 2 mm above surrounding cortical bone. Eight euthanized rabbits were radiologically and histologically assessed at various intervals after implantation. Bone bridging was complete over pins of both diameters at ~12 weeks, when inserted 1 mm below the surface, but the coverage of the pins inserted at 0 mm varied. Bone was not formed when the pins protruded >1 mm from the bone surface. No inflammation developed around the pins by 25 weeks. However, foreign body reactions might develop if composites are fixed above the bone surface, and intraosseous fixation would be desirable using double-threaded screws or a countersink to avoid screw head protrusion.

    CASE: We report 2 patients who developed chronic expanding hematomas (CEHs) more than 20 years after ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty (THA). One CEH occurred after a minor fall, and the other appeared with no obvious injury. Neither of the 2 was on anticoagulation. Each caused extensive osteolysis. CONCLUSION: The only 2 previously reported post-THA cases of CEH involved metal-on-metal THAs and occurred several years after the index THA. Our patients show that CEH also can occur after ceramic-on-polyethylene THA, even after an uneventful clinical course of more than 20 years. Complete removal of both hematoma stopped osteolytic progression, with no recurrence to date.

    Titania bone cement (TBC) reportedly has excellent in vivo bioactivity, yet its osteoconductivity in synovial fluid environments and bone-bonding ability in osteoporosis have not previously been investigated. We aimed to compare the osteoconductivity of two types of cement in a synovial fluid environment and determine their bone-bonding ability in osteoporosis. We implanted TBC and commercial polymethylmethacrylate bone cement (PBC) into rabbit femoral condyles and exposed them to synovial fluid pressure. Rabbits were then euthanized at 6, 12, and 26 weeks, and affinity indices were measured to evaluate osteoconductivity. We generated a rabbit model of osteoporosis through bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and an 8-week treatment with methylprednisolone sodium succinate (PSL). Pre-hardened TBC and PBC were implanted into the femoral diaphysis of the rabbits in the sham control and OVX + PSL groups. Affinity indices were significantly higher for TBC than for PBC at 12 weeks (40.9 ± 16.8% versus 24.5 ± 9.02%) and 26 weeks (40.2 ± 12.7% versus 21.2 ± 14.2%). The interfacial shear strength was significantly higher for TBC than for PBC at 6 weeks (3.69 ± 1.89 N/mm2 versus 1.71 ± 1.23 N/mm2) in the OVX + PSL group. These results indicate that TBC is a promising bioactive bone cement for prosthesis fixation in total knee arthroplasty, especially for osteoporosis patients.

    BACKGROUND: Corticosteroids are essential for immunosuppression after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), but also have many side effects. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is one of the most serious complications requiring prostheses. However, few studies have investigated ONFH after OLT. The purpose of this study is to survey the incidence of corticosteroid-induced ONFH after OLT and the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: Between January 2001 and December 2010, a series of 926 patients underwent OLT at our Hospital. A retrospective analysis was performed on a total of 738 patients who survived at least 2 years after OLT. The incidence of symptomatic ONFH, the interval from OLT to the initial diagnosis of ONFH, and the cumulative dose of corticosteroids were analyzed. The side effects related to OLT, such as other osteonecrosis lesions, osteoporotic fractures, and infection, were monitored. For patients who underwent THA, radiological findings and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were evaluated. RESULTS: ONFH occurred in 10 patients (13 hips) (6 men [7 hips], 4 women [6 hips]), with an incidence of 1.36%. The average age at OLT was 51.4 years (range, 31-61 years). The average interval from OLT to ONFH was 86.7 months (range, 22-155 months). The average cumulative dose of corticosteroids was 7274 mg (range, 1342-29,514 mg). Twenty patients suffered from side effects related to OLT. Seven patients (8 hips) underwent THA. No adverse events including infection arose during the perioperative process. One hip dislocated, and one femoral stem displayed a radiolucent line. The average JOA score improved from 45.4 (range, 25-76) preoperatively to 86.9 (range, 73-99) at final follow-up. No patients required revision surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of symptomatic ONFH after OLT was 1.36%. Once the graft function becomes stable, THA can be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with ONFH after OLT.

    BACKGROUND: Half of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) patients suffer femoral head collapse at initial diagnosis, and more than half are bilaterally affected. This study developed a percutaneous autologous impaction bone graft (IBG) technique as a modification of core decompression (CD). We also summarized the short-term results and treatment efficacy of percutaneous autologous IBG in advanced ONFH. METHODS: Twenty patients (12 males, 8 females) with nontraumatic, postcollapse ONFH except one case underwent CD (10-mm core diameter) and reverse IBG. Radiological changes of the ONFH stage and type were analyzed. Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier estimates was performed with conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as the endpoint. In addition, the Harris hip score (HHS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity rating scale were evaluated. RESULTS: Percutaneous autologous IBG was performed successfully, with an average operation time of < 1 h and small blood loss, and 7 patients (35%) needed conversion to THA at an average of 17 months postoperatively. We observed radiological progressive change in 60% of the patients during a mean observation period of 3 years. The mean clinical scores, except data recorded, after THA significantly improved (before vs. after 3 years: UCLA activity score, 3.7 vs. 5.2 [P = 0.014]; HHS, 57.6 vs. 76.5 points [P = 0.005]). In addition, 6 patients showed radiological progression but no clinical deterioration. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous autologous IBG was technically simple and minimally invasive, but short-term results were unsatisfactory for advanced ONFH. Indications for this procedure should be carefully examined to improve it in order to enable bone formation.

    To overcome problems associated with loosening of orthopedic implants and surgical site infections, we developed a novel, titanium (Ti)-based material that releases both strontium and silver ions (CaSrAg-Ti) based on alkali-and-heat treatment. The results of commercially pure Ti (cp-Ti), Ti that releases Sr ions only (CaSr-Ti), and the novel CaSrAg-Ti material were compared. Mechanical tests were performed to evaluate the in vivo bonding properties of CaSrAg-Ti and the bone-implant contact (BIC) ratio in histological specimens was determined at 4 and 8 weeks after implantation in a rat femur. Also, the in vitro antibacterial activities of this material against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) were evaluated after a 24 h incubation period by assaying colony-forming units. In addition, antibacterial activities were evaluated in vivo at 7 days after implantation in a rat subcutaneous pocket model. There was direct contact between the bone and CaSrAg-Ti in histological specimens and no apparent signs of argyrosis in any rat. The bone-bonding strength and the BIC ratio were increased by 2.7- and 2.3-fold for CaSrAg-Ti vs. cp-Ti at 4 weeks and 2.2- and 2.0-fold at 8 weeks, respectively. As compared with cp-Ti, the number of viable MSSA remaining on CaSrAg-Ti was reduced by 100 ± 0% in vitro and 94.2 ± 6.9% in vivo. Ti that releases Sr and Ag ions is a promising material that exhibits both bone-bonding properties and anti-MSSA activities.

    Peri-prosthetic infection and loosening of implants are major problems in orthopaedic and dental surgery. To address these issues, surface treatment methods for titanium implants have been improved by modifying the alkali and heat treatment. We have previously fabricated calcium-treated Ti metal that releases Sr ions (CaSr-Ti), which resulted in a higher in vitro osteogenic response and early in vivo bone bonding.Further, we developed a Ti metal that released both Sr and Ag ions (CaSrAg-Ti). In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial ability and osteogenic cellular response of CaSrAg-Ti and CaSr-Ti in vitro using rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured on implant samples and extract mediums (EMs) made by immersing the implant samples in the medium. CaSrAg-Ti did not show cytotoxicity and was associated with a slightly higher osteogenic response when compared to CaSr-Ti, without inhibiting the effect of Sr. The osteogenic response was also observed in the cells cultured with the CaSrAg-Ti EM; however, the response was not as high as that of the cells on the CaSrAg-Ti implant sample. Significantly higher antibacterial activity was observed along with an antibacterial efficacy of more than 95% against methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The main advantages of our surface treatment are its simplicity and low cost. Therefore, our treatment is promising for clinical applications in orthopaedic or dental Ti-based implants with antibacterial and early bone-bonding abilities.

    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify which aspect of the preoperative lower limb functions is most likely to affect the functional mobility at 6 mos after total hip arthroplasty. DESIGN: The study subjects included 125 women who underwent total hip arthroplasty. Hip flexion and abduction angles, hip abductor and knee extensor strengths, and lower limb load were measured preoperatively. The Timed Up and Go test was performed 6 mos postoperatively. Then, patients were divided into fast or slow groups as per the comparison with the Timed Up and Go score of healthy women. RESULTS: Hip abductor strength and lower limb load on the nonoperative side were revealed as significant measurements that affected functional mobility after total hip arthroplasty according to stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic curve analyses showed that the postoperative functional mobility was predicted by the lower limb load of the nonoperative side (cutoff point, 8.97 N/kg; sensitivity, 62.3%; specificity, 82.8%; and area under the curve, 77.5%). CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that patients with preoperative hip abductor strength of greater than 0.66 Nm/kg and lower limb load of greater than 8.97 N/kg on the nonoperative side could achieve better functional mobility at 6 mos postoperatively than healthy women of the same age group.

    Aim: To evaluate the 5-year outcomes from the prospective study of recombinant human FGF-2 (rhFGF-2) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Methods: Ten patients (average age 39.8 years) with nontraumatic, precollapse ONFH were percutaneously administered with 800 μg rhFGF-2 contained in gelatin hydrogel. Radiological changes and the prevalidated Harris hip score (HHS), visual analogue scale for pain and University of California, Los Angeles activity-rating scale scoring systems were evaluated. Results: The 5-year comparison in type C2 showed higher joint preservation in the rhFGF-2 group (71.4%) than in the natural course group (15.4%). Two of three clinical scores (Harris hip score and visual analogue scale for pain) improved significantly. Postoperative MRI demonstrated significant reduction in ONFH size. There were no adverse events. Conclusion: rhFGF-2 treatment for ONFH appears to be safe and effective and may have the potential to prevent disease progression.

    BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy for Crowe type IV hips poses the risk of nonunion at the osteotomy site. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors that affect the bone union rate at the osteotomy site. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of 27 THAs with subtrochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy performed for Crowe type IV hips. The effects of patient-related and surgery-related factors on the risk of delayed union were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 10.0 (1.4 to 19.1) years. The implant survival rate was 87.8% (95% confidence interval: 60.2% to 97.2%) at 10 years. The length of femoral bone resection was the only factor associated with the risk of delayed union. Longer bone resection lengths were significantly correlated with the reduced risk of delayed union (odds ratio: 0.63 [0.030 to 0.90], P = 0.0013). Other variables, including the use of a cement stem (P = 0.34) and the presence of a gap >1 mm at the osteotomy site (P = 0.98), were not associated with the risk of delayed union. DISCUSSION: THA with subtrochanteric transverse osteotomy provides satisfactory long-term results for Crowe type IV hips. For shorter required femoral resection lengths, the risk of delayed union was higher. A longer resection could permit fabrication of longer autologous longitudinal bone struts and likely contributes to enhanced stability at the osteotomy site.

    OBJECTIVES: Recently, several clinical prognostic factors for hip osteoarthritis (OA) progression such as spinal malalignment, reduced spinal mobility, and excessive daily cumulative hip loading have been identified. This study aimed to identify clinical phenotypes based on clinical prognostic factors in patients with secondary hip OA using data from prospective cohort studies and to define the clinical features of each phenotype. METHODS: Fifty patients participated. Two-step cluster analysis was performed to identify the phenotypes using the following potential prognostic factors for hip OA progression: spinal inclination in standing, thoracolumbar spine mobility, daily cumulative hip moment, and minimum joint space width (JSW) at baseline. Comprehensive basic and clinical features (age, body mass index, hip pain, Harris hip score, JSW, radiographic hip morphology, hip impairments, spinal alignment and mobility, and gait-related variables) and ratio of progressors in 12 months were compared among the phenotypes using bootstrap method (unadjusted and adjusted for age). RESULTS: Three phenotypes were identified and each phenotype was characterized as follows (P < 0.05): phenotype 1 (30%)-relatively young age and higher daily cumulative hip loading; phenotype 2 (42.0%)-relatively older age, reduced JSW, and less spinal mobility; and phenotype 3 (28.0%)-changed thoracic spine alignment and less spinal (especially in the thoracic spine) mobility. The ratio of progressors among the phenotypes was not statistically significantly different. These characteristics remained after adjustment for age. CONCLUSION: Three phenotypes with similar progression risk were identified. This finding will help in designing treatment tailored to each phenotype for hip OA progression prevention.Key Points• Three phenotypes with similar progression risk were identified based on clinical prognostic factors.• Phenotype 1 was characterized by young age and higher daily cumulative hip loading.• Phenotype 2 was relatively old age and had reduced JSW and less spinal mobility.• Phenotype 3 had changed thoracic spine alignment and less thoracic spine mobility.

    This study was performed to investigate the relationship between patients' activity and function levels and the incidence of preoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prior to total hip arthroplasty (THA). We retrospectively reviewed 500 patients admitted for primary or revision THA from July 2014 to October 2018. The diagnosis of DVT was confirmed using Doppler ultrasonography 1 month before THA. The patients' activity and hip function were evaluated using several clinical scores: the Harris Hip Score (HHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, and visual analog scale (VAS) score. Those scores and the medical history were examined for correlations with preoperative DVT using univariate and multivariate models. Univariate regression analysis showed that older age, current steroid use, anticoagulant use, a history of DVT, collagen disease, a lower UCLA activity score, and a lower OHS were associated with an elevated risk of preoperative DVT. The multivariate analyses showed that a higher UCLA activity score (odds ratio (OR): 0.0049-0.012) and higher OHS (OR: 0.0012-0.0088) were associated with a lower risk of preoperative DVT in each model. Age (OR: 1.07 in both models), current steroid use (OR: 9.32-10.45), and a history of DVT (OR: 27.15-74.98) were associated with a higher risk of preoperative DVT in both models. Older age, current steroid use, a history of DVT, a lower UCLA activity score, and a lower OHS were risk factors for preoperative DVT before THA, even when controlling for potential confounders. Patients exhibiting low activity and low function levels were more likely to have DVT, even before surgery.

    BACKGROUND: We report on the outcomes of a double-tapered cemented stem made of β-titanium alloys (Ti-15Mo-5Zr-3Al) at least 10 years after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 148 consecutive, primary total hip arthroplasties using this stem performed in 130 patients between January 2004 and August 2008. The patients' mean age was 59.6 years (range, 24-79). Implant survival was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves with the primary end point being stem revision for any reason and the secondary end point being stem revision for aseptic stem loosening. We also clinically and radiologically followed 140 hips (in 123 patients) for an average of 12.2 years (range, 10-15). RESULTS: The only revisions were for 2 stems with deep infection. Ten-year survival was 99.3% (95% confidence interval, 95.4%-99.9%) and 100% for the primary and secondary end point, respectively. The mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip score improved from 51.4 preoperatively to 88.7 at the last follow-up. Radiolucent lines at the stem-cement interface were seen in 14 hips (10.0%). None of the hips met the criteria of radiological stem loosening. Nineteen stems (13.6%) subsided by around 1 mm between 2 and 8 years after surgery. Distal femoral cortical hypertrophy occurred in 24 hips (17.0%), mostly with valgus alignment. CONCLUSION: The clinical outcomes of the femoral stems were excellent with survival at 10 years. Stem subsidence and distal femoral cortical hypertrophy did not affect the results. Long-term use of β-titanium alloy stems is safe and effective.

    BACKGROUND: The etiology of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) degeneration has not been fully elucidated, and there has been almost no report on the relevance between SIJ degeneration and hip osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). We investigated factors associated with SIJ degeneration, specifically its laterality in patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis secondary to unilateral DDH. METHODS: We included 152 patients with end-stage unilateral hip osteoarthritis secondary to DDH who underwent primary THA between January 2008 and November 2015. SIJ degeneration was classified (type 0, no degenerative change, to type 3, ankyloses) using preoperative axial computed tomography. SIJ degeneration of the DDH (shorter leg) and contralateral (longer leg) sides was compared; differences in patient demographics and radiological parameters between SIJ degeneration of type 0 or 1 versus type 2 or 3 for the shorter and longer leg sides were analyzed. RESULTS: SIJ on the longer leg side showed more degenerative changes (p < 0.001). Substantial SIJ degeneration or ankylosis (type 2 or 3) was observed on 62.5% of longer leg sides and 33.6% of shorter leg sides. Factors significantly associated with SIJ degeneration severity were percent hip subluxation and leg length discrepancy for the longer leg side and body weight and body mass index (BMI) for the shorter leg side. Patients with worse degeneration on the shorter leg side (9.9%) had significantly larger BMI and longer sagittal vertical axis, whereas patients with worse degeneration on the longer leg side (46.7%) had significantly longer leg length discrepancy. CONCLUSION: Severe SIJ degeneration was common in patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis secondary to unilateral DDH. Patients with worse SIJ degeneration on the longer leg side had more hip subluxation, whereas patients with worse SIJ degeneration on the shorter leg (DDH) side tended to have sagittal spinal imbalance and greater body weight with larger BMI.

    BACKGROUND: A larger daily cumulative hip loading, which is the product of the external hip adduction moment (HAM) impulse during gait and the number of steps per day has been identified as a factor associated with the progression of secondary hip osteoarthritis (OA). The cause of the increased HAM impulse in patients with hip OA has not been identified. The purpose of this study was to identify the gait parameters associated with HAM impulse during gait in patients with secondary hip OA. METHODS: Fifty-five patients (age 22-65 years) with mild-to-moderate secondary hip OA participated in this cross-sectional study. The HAM impulse during gait was measured using a three-dimensional gait analysis system. To identify the gait parameters associated with HAM impulse, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed. The first model (basic model) included body weight and stance phase duration. The second models included gait parameters (gait speed; ground reaction force [GRF] in frontal plane; and hip, pelvic, and trunk angle in frontal plane) and hip pain in addition to the basic model. RESULTS: Body weight and stance phase duration explained 61% of the variance in HAM impulse. In the second model, which took into account body weight and stance phase duration, hip adduction angle (9.4%), pelvic tilt (6.5%), and trunk lean (3.2%) in addition to GRF explained the variance in the HAM impulse. Whereas larger hip adduction angle and pelvic tilt toward the swing limb were associated with a larger HAM impulse, larger trunk lean toward the stance limb was associated with smaller HAM impulse. CONCLUSION: In patients with excessive hip adduction and pelvic tilt toward the swing limb during gait, gait modification may contribute to the reduction of hip joint loading.

    OBJECTIVE: To identify gait- and posture-related factors associated with changes in hip pain and physical function in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Clinical biomechanics laboratory of a university. PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive sampling of female patients with mild-to-moderate secondary hip OA (N=30). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Hip pain (visual analog scale) and physical function (physical component summary of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey) were measured at baseline and 12 months later. With changes in hip pain and physical function as dependent variables, linear regression analyses were performed with gait- and posture-related factors as independent variables with and without adjustment for age, joint space width, and hip pain or physical function at baseline. Posture-related factors included angles of thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral inclination, spinal inclination, and spinal mobility. Gait-related factors were walking speed, steps per day, joint angles, external hip joint moment impulses, and daily cumulative hip moments. RESULTS: Multiple linear regression analyses showed that limited hip extension (adjusted standardized B coefficient [95% confidence interval]: -0.52 [-0.88 to -0.17]) and limited external rotation angles (-0.51 [-0.85 to -0.18]) during walking were associated with the worsening of hip pain. An increased thoracic kyphosis (-0.54 [-0.99 to -0.09]), less sacral anterior tilt (0.40 [0.01-0.79]), reduced thoracic spine mobility (0.59 [0.23-0.94]), less steps per day (0.53 [0.13-0.92]), and a slower walking speed (0.45 [0.04-0.86]) were associated with deterioration in physical function. CONCLUSIONS: Gait- and posture-related factors should be considered when assessing risk and designing preventive interventions for the clinical progression of secondary hip OA.

    BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty is a successful treatment for hip diseases including osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and rheumatoid arthritis. Various designs of cemented femoral stems made of stainless steel and titanium alloy have been used. Among them, Charnley-type femoral stems made of stainless steel have often been reported to have good long-term outcome. However, the long-term outcome of the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy is yet to be reported. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the long-term outcome of cemented primary total hip arthroplasty with the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy. METHODS: Between October 1988 and February 1997, 341 cemented primary total hip arthroplasties with the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy were consecutively performed in our hospital. Among these, 164 patients (211 hips) who underwent this procedure were followed up for more than 12 years, and the surgical hips were analysed clinically and radiologically. The mean follow-up period was 20.6 years. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to assess femoral component survival. Factors affecting stem revision for aseptic loosening were also investigated using log-rank tests. RESULTS: In the functional assessment, the preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association score significantly improved from 47.2 points preoperatively to 79.0 points at the final follow-up. Eventually, 33 femoral stems were revised, of which 12 were revised for aseptic loosening. In the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the 20-year survival rates with stem revision for aseptic loosening and radiological stem loosening at the end points were 95.9% and 97.1%, respectively. Original diagnosis (non-osteoarthritis) was the only significant factor for aseptic loosening of the femoral stem. CONCLUSIONS: Cemented primary total hip arthroplasty with the Charnley-type femoral stem made of Ti alloy showed excellent outcomes for more than 20 years.

    AIMS: In the 1990s, a bioactive bone cement (BABC) containing apatite-wollastonite glass-ceramic (AW-GC) powder and bisphenol-a-glycidyl methacrylate resin was developed at our hospital. In 1996, we used BABC to fix the acetabular component in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in 20 patients as part of a clinical trial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term results of primary THA using BABC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 20 patients (three men and 17 women) with a mean age of 57.4 years (40 to 71), a mean body weight of 52.3 kg (39 to 64), and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 23.0 kg/m2 (19.8 to 28.6) were evaluated clinically and radiologically. Survival analyses were undertaken, and wear analyses were carried out using a computer-aided method. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 17.6 years (1.5 to 21.1). Radiological loosening occurred in four sockets with aseptic loosening at a mean of 7.8 years (1.5 to 20.7). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses using revision of the acetabular component, radiological loosening of the acetabular component, and the worst-case scenario with revision of the acetabular component to include the two patients lost to follow-up as endpoints yielded survival rates of 94.7%, 84.4%, and 85.0% at ten years, and 70.0%, 84.4%, and 62.8% at 20 years, respectively. Wear analysis revealed a mean linear wear rate of 0.068 mm per year. CONCLUSION: The long-term results of primary THAs using BABC were unsatisfactory. Its brittle nature and poor handling properties need to be improved before it becomes an alternative method of fixing the acetabular component in cemented THA.

    This study aimed to examine the effect of thromboprophylactic edoxaban on D-dimer levels and anemia after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We retrospectively analyzed data from 349 patients undergoing primary THA. Univariate regression and multivariate regression analyses were performed with D-dimer levels on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days postoperatively as the dependent variable Edoxaban use, age, sex, body mass index (BMI), renal function, drop in hemoglobin (Hb) drop, intraoperative blood loss and duration of surgery as were independent variables. Multivariate regression analysis was also performed with Hb drop as the dependent variable. Edoxaban administration of 15 mg/day and 30 mg/day after THA was correlated with higher D-dimer levels at 21, but not at 7 or 14, days postoperatively. Other significant independent predictors for high D-dimer levels were the duration of surgery (at 7 and 14 days), BMI (at 7 days), sex (at 14 days), and age (at 14 and 21 days). Edoxaban use was significantly, weakly correlated with a larger Hb drop at 7 and 14 days, but this was less than a clinically important difference. D-dimer levels after THA can be elevated by thromboprophylactic edoxaban after three weeks postoperatively.

    We developed a composite cement containing low-content bioactive titania fillers dispersed among specific polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polymers and investigated the mechanical properties and bioactivity of this titania bone cement (TBC) under load-bearing conditions in cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) in adult female beagles. TBC and PMMA bone cement (PBC) were compared using custom-made prostheses. The dogs were killed 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The acetabulum was harvested to evaluate the osteoconductivity of the cement, whereas the femur was harvested for the push-out test and histological analyses. The compressive strength of TBC was significantly higher than that of PBC (p < 0.001), whereas the flexural and tensile strengths, as well as fracture toughness, were equivalent. The bonding strength values for TBC and PBC were 72.9 and 58.0 N/mm at 1 month, 69.4 and 57.2 N/mm at 3 months, 106.1 and 85.0 N/mm at 6 months, and 114.3 and 100.7 N/mm at 12 months, respectively. Histologically, TBC was in direct contact with bone without intervening with fibrous tissue over larger areas and newly formed bone was observed along the cement. The excellent mechanical properties and apparent bioactivity of this novel bone cement indicate its potential utility in clinical practice. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    A bone fixation device made of unsintered hydroxyapatite (u-HA) particles uniformly dispersed in a poly-l-lactide matrix and reinforced by compressive forging (uniformly dispersed composite; UDC) has been clinically applied in several fields. However, it has reported some foreign body reactions over a long implantation period due to its slow bioresorbability. To further enhance its bioresorbability, we developed devices comprising a fibrous assembly of poly-l-lactide only three-dimensionally intertwined with particulate hydroxyapatite/poly-l-lactide composite. The biological behavior of the proposed material, provisionally referred to as complementarily reinforced composite (CRC), was compared with that of UDC in vivo. Cylindrical rods of UDC and CRC with 3.2-mm diameters were inserted bilaterally into the intramedullary distal femurs of 32 male Japanese white rabbits. Eight rabbits were euthanized at four, eight, 12, and 25 weeks after insertion. There were no significant differences between the mechanical properties of UDC and CRC over time. However, the results from histological analyses, surface characterization, radiological analyses, and push-out mechanical testing substantiated CRC's superior affinity to bone and enhanced bioactivity and bioresorbability in comparison with UDC. These characteristics were attributed to the dispersive marbling morphology produced by the CRC material's successive connectivity of u-HA particles throughout the PLLA matrix, which would accelerate PLLA hydrolysis degradation by H2O intrusion and enhance the bioactivity of u-HA particles exposed on the interface soon after implantation.

    Background: Hip-spine syndrome was originally described by Offierski and MacNab, who argued that the flexion deformity of the hip rotated the pelvis forward, causing the spine symptoms. We additionally hypothesized that in patients who have osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip, the pelvis is tilted anteriorly to compensate for the anterior acetabular coverage defect. We investigated the hip factors associated with anterior pelvic tilt (PT) in patients who had OA of the hip due to acetabular dysplasia. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty between January 2009 and December 2017 to identify those who had unilateral secondary OA due to acetabular dysplasia. Patients who had spinal imbalance, a history of spinal or lower limb fracture or surgery, bilateral OA of the hip, or a severely subluxated hip were excluded, leaving 100 eligible patients. We defined the indicators of an anterior acetabular coverage defect, flexion deformity of the hip, and anterior PT as the acetabular anteversion angle (AAA), extension range of motion (ROM), and anterior tilt of the pelvis, respectively. We measured hip factors and spinal parameters on radiographs and the standardized axial and coronal planes on 3-dimensional computed tomography with reference to the anterior pelvic plane. Hip factors associated with PT were investigated. Results: Univariate analysis showed a significant correlation between PT and both AAA (r = -0.389, p < 0.001) and combined anteversion angle (r = -0.272, p = 0.03). Multivariate regression analysis identified AAA (β = -0.385, p < 0.001) and extension ROM (β = 0.212, p = 0.0496) as independent factors associated with PT. Lumbar lordosis and pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis were significantly correlated with AAA, but sagittal vertical axis was not. Conclusions: When treating patients who have acetabular dysplasia, surgeons should recognize the relationship between the anterior acetabular coverage and anterior PT. Correcting hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine can induce progression of hip OA because it may decrease the acetabular anterior coverage.

    BACKGROUND: Recently, the topical application of tranexamic acid has become widespread, and it is effective in reducing postoperative blood loss and transfusion rate in total hip arthroplasty. There is no consensus on the optimal dose of topical tranexamic acid. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of topical tranexamic acid on postoperative blood loss and determine the optimal topical dose for primary total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: This prospective cohort study with a robust protocol enrolled 79 patients who received either 1 or 2 g of topical tranexamic acid in 30 mL normal saline solution or an equivalent volume of normal saline at the end of surgery. The primary outcomes were postoperative drain blood loss and hemoglobin decrease on postoperative day 7. The secondary outcomes were transfusion rate, d-dimer level on postoperative day 7, symptomatic deep vein thrombosis rate, and duration of hospital stay. RESULTS: Both 1 and 2 g tranexamic acid significantly reduced postoperative drain blood loss (p < 0.001). These doses also reduced the hemoglobin concentration decrease on postoperative day 7, but not significantly. Furthermore, 1 and 2 g doses of tranexamic acid had similar effects on postoperative blood loss and hemoglobin concentration decrease. There was no difference in the transfusion rate, d-dimer level, symptomatic deep vein thrombosis rate, and length of hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS: The use of topical tranexamic acid at the end of surgery is effective and safe for reducing postoperative blood loss in primary total hip arthroplasty. Topical tranexamic acid at a dose of 1 g may be sufficient and cost-effective, with fewer side effects than the higher dose.

    BACKGROUND: Dislocation following total hip arthroplasty is mainly caused by malposition. However, the coexistence of neuromuscular disorders is also considered a risk for dislocation due to excessive hip joint laxity. To minimize risk of dislocation, preoperative planning using combined anteversion has been widely used. The recommended combined anteversion angle (the total of cup and stem anteversion angles) is 50 ± 10°. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old Japanese woman underwent elective total hip arthroplasty due to osteonecrosis of the femoral head associated with corticosteroid pulse therapy for myasthenia gravis. Intraoperatively, no tendency of dislocation was found when simulating an evoking position under general anesthesia. In postoperative X-ray and computed tomography scans, cup inclination, cup anteversion, and stem anteversion angles were 37°, 13°, and 35° respectively. The resulting combined anteversion was 48°, which was set as the target along with accurate placement. Her postoperative course was normal and she was discharged without adverse events. Three months postoperatively, due to worsening of myasthenic weakness in her lower extremities while resting, she tended to raise her left limb up using both hands for sitting up. An anterior dislocation occurred when her legs were in a figure-of-four position. She was brought to an emergency department, and reduction of dislocation was performed. It was inferred that myasthenic crisis in the affected limb enabled excessive passive motion due to joint hyperlaxity. At the end of 2016, elective total hip arthroplasty on the contralateral side was performed. Cup anteversion, stem anteversion, and the combined anteversion angles were 27°, 24°, and 51° respectively. We instructed her to exercise care during passive leg movement, which may worsen her myasthenic condition. She returned to a normal life and was able to walk long distances without a cane. No recurrence of dislocation was seen at final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Even if accurate component orientation is attained in total hip arthroplasty, patients with neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis have a potential risk of muscle weakness in the affected limb. Therefore, physicians' instructions and patients' careful attention are required to prevent dislocation due to excessive hip joint laxity under conditions of motor weakness.

    Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used to assess satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, the factors that determine these PROMs remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the patient- and surgery-related factors that affect patient satisfaction after THA as indicated by the Oxford Hip Score (OHS). One-hundred-and-twenty patients who underwent primary THA were included. Various patient-related factors, including clinical scores, and surgery-related factors were examined for potential correlations with the OHS at 3, 6, and 12 months post-THA. Univariate regression analysis showed that higher preoperative University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score (p = 0.027) and better preoperative OHS (p = 0.0037) were correlated with better OHS at 3 months post-THA. At 6 months post-THA, the factors associated with better OHS were higher preoperative UCLA activity score (p = 0.039), better preoperative OHS (p = 0.0006), and use of a cemented stem (p = 0.0071). At 12 months post-THA, the factors associated with better OHS were higher preoperative UCLA activity score (p = 0.0075) and better preoperative OHS (p < 0.0001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the factors significantly correlated with better OHS were female sex (p = 0.011 at 3 months post-THA), osteoarthritis (p = 0.043 at 6 months), higher preoperative OHS (p < 0.001 at 3 and 12 months, p = 0.018 at 6 months), higher preoperative Harris Hip Score (p = 0.001 at 3 months), higher preoperative UCLA activity score (p = 0.0075 at 3 months), and the use of a cemented femoral component (p = 0.012 at 6 months). Patient- and surgery-related factors affecting post-THA PROMs were identified, although the effect of these factors decreased over time.

    OBJECTIVE: To identify predictors of radiographic progression of hip osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 months among functional hip impairments and spinal alignment and mobility. DESIGN: Fifty female patients with secondary hip OA, excluding those with end-stage hip OA, participated in this prospective cohort study. Joint space width (JSW) of the hip was measured at baseline and 12 months later. With radiographic progression of hip OA over 12 months (>0.5 mm in JSW) as dependent variable, logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors for hip OA progression among functional impairments of the hip and spine with and without adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), and minimum JSW at baseline. The independent variables were hip pain, Harris hip score (HHS), hip morphological parameters, hip passive range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, and alignment and mobility of the thoracolumbar spine at baseline. RESULTS: Twenty-one (42.0%) patients demonstrated radiographic progression of hip OA. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that larger anterior inclination of the spine in standing position (adjusted OR [95% CI], 1.37 [1.04-1.80]; P = 0.028) and less thoracolumbar spine mobility (adjusted OR [95% CI], 0.96 [0.92-0.99]; P = 0.037) at baseline were statistically significantly associated with radiographic progression of hip OA, even after adjustment for age, BMI, and minimum JSW. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that spinal alignment and mobility should be considered when assessing risk and designing preventive intervention for radiographic progression of secondary hip OA.

    BACKGROUND: The Elite-Plus stem has two shape variations: roundback and flanged. The correlation between the radiographic results and stem geometry has not been previously investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term primary total hip arthroplasty results using Elite-Plus stems, and the effect of stem geometry on radiographic distal femoral cortical hypertrophy. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated, radiographically, 156 patients (173 hips) who underwent total hip arthroplasty between April 1998 and November 2005, and were followed up for >5 years, postoperatively. Radiographic factors affecting distal femoral cortical hypertrophy were analysed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 11.6 (5-17.8) years. During follow-up, femoral components were revised in 7 hips; one was revised due to aseptic loosening. Another femoral component was loosened and waiting for revision. The 10- and 15-year survival rates for aseptic stem loosening were 100% and 98.1% (95% CI: 92.5-99.5), respectively. Distal femoral cortical hypertrophy occurred in 23 hips (14.8%), and more often with roundback type (34.1%) than with flanged type (7.2%). Distal femoral cortical hypertrophy was observed in 34.8% of hips with valgus alignment, 11.3% with neutral alignment, and 12.5% with varus alignment. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that roundback stem shape and valgus stem alignment significantly affected the occurrence of distal femoral cortical hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS: The Elite-Plus stem has excellent long-term clinical and radiographic results in Japanese patients. The occurrence of distal femoral cortical hypertrophy significantly depends on the shape and alignment of Elite-Plus stems.

    Introduction: The aim of this study was to calculate the wear rate of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) and investigate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes related to two femoral stem designs, the distal-cylindrical (DC) and distal-taper (DT) stems. Materials and methods: Outcomes for the DC and DT stems were evaluated in 110 patients, who underwent total hip arthroplasty using an HXLPE socket, over a 5-year follow-up period. There were 56 hips (53 patients) in the DC group and 60 hips (57 patients) in the DT group. Clinical outcomes were measured using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and radiographic changes. Polyethylene wear rate was calculated using a computer software. Results: The mean follow-up period was 135.7 and 124.0 months for the DC and DT groups, respectively. Both stem designs improved hip function. On radiographic assessment, osteolysis around the tip of the stem was more frequent in the DC than in the DT group. Three cases of aseptic loosening of the stem were identified in the DC group, and no cases were identified in the DT group. The 10-year stem survival, using aseptic loosening as the primary endpoint, was 94.1% and 100% for the DC and DT groups, respectively (p = 0.06). The polyethylene wear rate was comparable for both stem groups. Conclusion: Better clinical outcomes were obtained with the DT stem than with the DC stem regardless of the equivalent polyethylene wear rate for the two designs. The DC shape of the stem may increase the risk of aseptic loosening.

    Corticosteroids have been widely used for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases because they provide an acute response of immunosuppression. Numerous side effects of corticosteroids have also been known, with varying degrees of severity. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a rare and serious complication that directly inhibits walking because of femoral head collapse. However, sometimes, clinicians who consider that corticosteroids are required for primary disease do not recognize steroid-induced ONFH. The final stage of ONFH is severe osteoarthritis, requiring total hip arthroplasty. We describe a 23-year-old woman with bilateral ONFH after corticosteroid treatment for alopecia areata (AA). She was administered several intralesional corticosteroid injections to the scalp and repeated systemic corticosteroid therapy for extensive AA. While undergoing therapy, she lost her balance and complained of right groin pain when standing. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with bilateral ONFH. She recovered from AA, but she complained of persistent right hip pain, which subsequently required total hip arthroplasty. We would like to emphasize that patients on corticosteroid therapy for any common disease should be considered as having a potential risk for ONFH. An early stage detection of ONFH is crucial for its treatment. MRI evaluation warrants a higher level of accuracy in early diagnosis of ONFH for the opportunity to undergo joint-preservation surgery in patients with ONFH.

    INTRODUCTION: We investigated the long-term tribological outcomes of conventional polyethylene (CPE) and highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE). METHODS: Ninety-four consecutive primary cemented THAs were performed using either HXLPE or CPE at our hospital. CPE sockets were used in 26 hips, and HXLPE sockets were implanted in 68 hips. RESULTS: A 10-year follow-up was completed for 69 cases. Linear wear rates of 0.138 ± 0.074 mm/year for CPE and 0.011 ± 0.020 mm/year for HXLPE were calculated. Osteolysis was identified in 10 cases (CPE group, 7; HXLPE group, 3). CONCLUSION: HXLPE had significantly less wear than CPE, and polyethylene wear was associated with osteolysis.

    We have previously developed the "alkali and heat treatment" method to confer bioactivity (bone bonding ability) to titanium metal (Ti). As strontium (Sr) and magnesium (Mg) ions reportedly promote osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation and accelerate bone formation, we improved this method to induce the release of Sr (Sr-Ti) or Mg (Mg-Ti) ions from Ti in a previous study. Here, we evaluated the bioactivity of these novel surface treatments, Sr-Ti and Mg-Ti. In vitro evaluation of cell viability, expression of integrin #1, # catenin, and cyclin Dl, osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and extracellular mineralization using MC3T3-E1 cells revealed that Sr-Ti and Mg-Ti enhanced proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In rabbit in vivo studies, Sr-Ti and Mg-Ti also provided greater biomechanical strength and bone-implant contact than the positive control Ti (Ca-Ti), especially at the early stage (4-8 weeks), and maintained these properties for a longer period (16-24 weeks). Advantages of the improved method include process simplicity, applicability for any implant shape, and lack of adverse effects on implant composition and structure. Therefore, our treatment is promising for clinical applications to achieve early bone bonding. Statement of Significance Implantation into osteoporotic bone constitutes a challenging problem because of early migration or loosening of the implant, which is primarily due to insufficient initial fixation in porotic bone. Therefore, it is desirable to provide implants with a capacity for early bone bonding. We have achieved conferring early bone bonding ability to titanium metal by releasing strontium ions or magnesium ions. Our treatment is promising for clinical applications to achieve early bone bonding of orthopedic or dental Ti-based implants. (C) 2017 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether higher daily cumulative hip moment at baseline is associated with subsequent radiographic progression of hip osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 months. DESIGN: Fifty patients with secondary hip OA, excluding patients with end-stage hip OA, participated in this prospective cohort study. Joint space width (JSW) of the hip was measured at baseline and 12 months later. With radiographic progression of hip OA (>0.5 mm/year in JSW) as dependent variable (yes/no), univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between load-related parameters during gait (i.e., peak hip moment, hip moment impulse, and daily cumulative hip moment [product of hip moment impulse and mean steps/day]) and hip OA progression with and without adjustment for age, body weight, and minimum JSW. RESULTS: Of the 50 patients (47.4 ± 10.7 years old), 21 (42.0%) were classified into the progression group. The higher daily cumulative hip moment in the frontal plane at baseline was statistically significantly associated with radiographic progression of hip OA (adjusted odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)], 1.34 [1.06-1.70]; P = 0.013). The higher daily cumulative hip moment in the sagittal plane was also approaching significance in its association with hip OA progression (adjusted OR, 1.80 [0.99-3.26]; P = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS: In the female patients with secondary hip OA, higher daily cumulative hip moment, particularly in the frontal plane, was a predictor of radiographic progression of hip OA over 12 months. Reduction in daily cumulative hip moment by modification in gait and physical activity may potentially slow hip OA progression.

    BACKGROUND: Implantation of the acetabular cup insert in the "true" location of the acetabulum is a fundamental principle of total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of secondary osteoarthritis due to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). As knowledge of the morphology of the acetabulum is required for accurate placement, we investigated the relationship between acetabular width and the Crowe classification of subluxation percentage of the hip. We also analyzed factors associated with the acetabular width ratio (AWR), defined as the acetabular width of the dysplastic hip divided by that of the unaffected, contralateral hip. METHODS: We completed a retrospective review of the preoperative standard anteroposterior radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans of 207 female patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty for unilateral DDH. The "true" acetabular plane was defined on each CT reconstruction as a plane perpendicular to the anterior pelvic plane, parallel to the teardrop line, and passing through the center of the femoral head on the unaffected, contralateral side. The acetabular width was measured for both the affected hip and the contralateral, reference hip on the true acetabular plane, with the acetabular width defined as the distance between the edges of the anterior and posterior walls of the acetabulum. All hips were classified according to the Crowe groupings on the basis of the subluxation percentage of the dysplastic hip; the subluxation percentage increased from groups I to IV, with group IVb showing joint dislocation. RESULTS: The acetabular width decreased from Crowe groups I to IVb, with a negative correlation found between the AWR and the subluxation percentage (Spearman correlation coefficient, ρ = -0.404; p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis identified subluxation percentage and femoral neck-shaft angle as independent factors associated with the AWR. CONCLUSIONS: Characterization of factors associated with the AWR, namely subluxation percentage and femoral neck-shaft angle, will guide surgeons in correctly implanting the acetabular cup insert during total hip arthroplasty in patients with DDH.

    【はじめに】

    変形性股関節症(以下股OA)患者の歩行では,主に患側立脚期において股関節伸展に伴い体幹前傾や患側への側屈,骨盤回旋など脊柱や骨盤で代償する傾向がある。原因として,股関節伸展可動域制限,殿筋筋力低下,下部体幹筋安定性低下などが挙げられる。この代償は人工股関節全置換術(以下THA)施行後においても残存する場合があり,入院期間中での跛行改善に難渋することを経験する。加速度センサは動作を三次元的に簡便に把握できるため有効とされる。今回股OA患者の跛行を詳細に評価する目的でTHA施行前後の歩行動揺変化について加速度角速度センサを用いて検討したので報告する。

    【方法】

    対象は股OAにて視覚的に跛行を確認できる患者で,THA術後の股関節伸展可動域が5°以上有する20名(年齢49~83歳,身長154.8±7.5cm)とした。術式は側方アプローチとした。THA施行前日とTHA術後3週間後(退院時)に歩行計測を実施した。計測には体幹2点歩行動揺計MVP-WS2-S(マイクロストーン社製)を使用した。計測肢位は小型無線モーションセンサを体幹(第9胸椎部)と骨盤(仙骨後面で上後腸骨棘を結ぶ線の中央)に各々取り付けた立位とし,10mを快適な速度で歩行するように指示した。計測前に2回練習した。得られたデータから10m歩行中の歩行周期3区間における体幹,骨盤の前後,上下,左右動揺幅を各々平均化して算出し,THA施行前とTHA施行3週間後の歩行動揺を比較した。統計処理は対応のあるt検定を用い,危険率5%未満とした。歩行変化を視覚的に確認するため動画も撮影した。

    【結果】

    動揺幅は骨盤では左右が施行前40.1±15.7mm,施行後41.0±16.1mm。前後は施行前29.1±8.0mm,施行後27.5±6.9mm。上下は施行前32.3±8.2mm,施行後30.8±7.7mmと前後,上下で減少したが有意差はなかった。体幹では左右が施行前46.8±20.1mm,施行後43.0±12.3mm。前後は施行前26.7±11.0mm,施行後22.9±8.3mmと減少したが有意差はなかった。上下では施行前32.5±7.8mm,施行後28.9±6.9mmと有意な減少を認めた(p<0.05)。

    【考察】

    THA施行後の体幹動揺に減少傾向を示した。施行前は主に患側立脚中期に患側への体幹側屈や,立脚後期の股関節伸展で骨盤前傾や回旋,体幹前傾が確認された。THAと理学療法により疼痛や可動域,筋力が改善したことで過剰な動揺が減少したと考える。歩行中の重心移動幅は左右約40mm,上下では約25~50mmといわれている。本研究は1歩行周期全体における動揺幅であるため,質的変化の把握が不十分であった。骨盤動揺幅に変化は見られなかったが,動揺の軌跡では施行後の左右非対称性が減少した。しかし動画にて骨盤前傾や回旋による代償を認め,術後3週間後でも非対称性は残存した。したがって加速度角速度センサと動画を併用し評価していく必要性が示唆された。さらに評価に基づいた適切な自主トレーニングの指導が跛行改善において重要といえる。

    Arthroscopic excision of synovial osteochondromatosis of the hip is commonly performed. However, when the lesion extends to the extra-articular space of the hip joint, excision using arthroscopy becomes difficult. Although surgical dislocation of the hip with a trochanteric flip osteotomy is commonly used, manual access to the inferomedial portion of the acetabulum remains difficult. In this case report, we describe arthroscopic resection followed by open surgery using an anterior approach with or without surgical dislocation to excise a synovial osteochondromatosis of the hip that had extended to the extra-articular space and formed a herniation sac. Excision was completed without complications. An anterior approach with or without surgical dislocation should be considered as a surgical option for the treatment of a massive synovial osteochondromatosis of the hip joint.

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an exercise program focusing on hip external rotator muscle on physical recovery in the early post-operative period of total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: Patients who underwent THA were randomized to an exercise group (n = 14) or a control group (n = 14). In exercise group, the hip external rotator exercise program was performed 5 times per week for four weeks. Outcome measures were hip pain, hip range of motion, muscle strength of lower extremity and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. RESULTS: Both the hip abductor strength (effect size = 0.60) and TUG test (effect size= -0.53) in the exercise group improved significantly after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study demonstrated that exercise program focusing on hip external rotator muscle was an effective intervention, especially in improving both hip abductor strength and walking ability in the acute post-THA stage. Implication for Rehabilitation After THA, in order to safely progress patients back to their desired activity level, there is a need to develop rehabilitation strategies to expedite and promote the recovery during the acute postoperative period. Exercise program focusing on hip external rotator muscle may lead to significant improvement of hip abductor muscle strength and gait ability in the acute post-THA stage.

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of radiographic and clinical variables of hip osteoarthritis (OA) with alterations in gait and joint loading in patients with secondary hip OA. Fifty females with secondary hip OA were participated. The minimum joint space width (mJSW) of the hip as a degenerative sign and Sharp and center edge (CE) angles as morphological variables were measured radiographically. Hip joint pain was assessed using a visual analog scale. As gait variables, walking speed, range of hip motion, hip moment peak, and hip moment impulse were calculated. Daily cumulative hip loading was calculated as the hip moment impulse multiplied by the mean number of steps per day. After bivariate correlation analyses between dependent (mJSW and pain) and independent variables (age, body mass index, sharp/CE angles, steps per day, and gait variables), separate forward-backward stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed for each dependent variable. Daily cumulative hip loading in the sagittal plane (β = 0.30, p = 0.021) and age (β = -0.36, p = 0.007) were significantly associated with the mJSW. Walking speed (β = -0.36, p = 0.008) and age (β = 0.29, p = 0.031) were significantly associated with hip joint pain. Decrease in daily cumulative hip loading in the sagittal plane was associated with mJSW independently of age. Although the causal relationship was not clear, patients with hip OA reduced total exposure to hip joint loading adaptively rather than lowering the hip moment peak concerning worsening of hip degeneration. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society.

    BACKGROUND: Few reports are available on the long-term outcomes of femoral component revision by using the cement-in-cement technique. We report the mid- and long-term results of femoral component revision in total hip arthroplasty using the cement-in-cement technique. METHODS: Between April 1996 and June 2009, 62 consecutive total hip arthroplasties with femoral component revision were performed in 57 patients by using the cement-in-cement technique. We retrospectively reviewed the cases with a follow-up period of at least five years. Three patients died, and two were lost to follow-up. Thus, 52 patients (57 hips), comprising 51 women and one man, were followed for average 10.8 years. RESULTS: The mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip score improved from 57.6 points (range, 28-95 points) preoperatively to 79.8 points (range, 52-98 points) at one year postoperatively and to 77.4 points (range, 59-96 points) at the final follow up. Three revisions of the femoral component were necessary. One of the causes for the revision was a periprosthetic infection that occurred 20 months postoperatively. Another was aseptic loosening that occurred 99 months postoperatively and required revision of the acetabular component. The well-fixed femoral component was revised using the cement-in-cement technique at time of the acetabular revision. The third case was aseptic loosening of the femoral component that occurred 84 months postoperatively. The five-, 10-, and 15-year survival rates for the femoral re-revision due to any reason were 98.4%, 94.0%, and 94.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Use of the cement-in-cement technique for revision total hip arthroplasty resulted in good mid- and long-term radiological and clinical outcomes.

    A decline in physical function associated with secondary hip osteoarthritis (OA) may be caused by both radiographic and clinical factors; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine how joint degeneration, hip morphology, pain, hip range of motion (ROM), and hip muscle strength relate to one-leg standing (OLS) and gait in patients with mild-to-moderate secondary hip osteoarthritis. Fifty-five female patients (ages 22-65 years) with mild-to-moderate hip OA secondary to hip dysplasia were consecutively enrolled. Balance during OLS and three-dimensional hip angle changes while maintaining the OLS and at foot-off of the raised leg were measured. Gait speed and peak three-dimensional hip joint angles during gait were also measured. The associations between dependent variables (balance, gait speed, and hip kinematic changes) and independent variables (age, body mass index, pain, joint degeneration, hip morphologic abnormality, passive hip ROM, and hip muscle strength) were determined. While lower hip muscle strength was associated with hip kinematic changes such as flexion and internal rotation while maintaining OLS, decreased acetabular head index (AHI) and increased pain were associated with hip extension and abduction at foot-off in OLS. Decreased passive hip ROM was associated with decreased peak hip angles (extension, adduction, and external and internal rotation) during gait, although increased pain and decreased hip extension muscle strength were associated with slower gait speed. In this study of patients with secondary hip OA, AHI, pain, and hip impairments were associated with OLS and gait independently from age and radiographic degeneration.

    【はじめに】変形性股関節症(以下股OA)患者の歩行では,立脚中期から後期において体幹前傾や患側への体幹側屈など股関節伸展を腰椎や骨盤で代償する場合がある。原因として,股関節伸展可動域制限,殿筋筋力低下,下部体幹筋安定性低下などが挙げられる。先行研究において,下部体幹筋収縮の意識により,歩行立脚期を想定した前方へのステップ動作にて骨盤および体幹前傾減少,股関節伸展角度増加など代償の抑制に関与することを報告した。今回,実際の歩行において下部体幹筋収縮の有無が体幹および骨盤動揺に与える影響について検討したので報告する。【方法】対象は健常成人10名(平均年齢33.3±7.1歳,身長173.6±2.4cm)で,股関節伸展,外転可動域および大殿筋,中殿筋筋力が正常である者とした。計測には体幹2点歩行動揺計MVP-WS2-S(マイクロストーン社製)を用いて,小型無線モーションセンサを体幹(第9胸椎部)と骨盤(仙骨後面で両上後腸骨棘を結ぶ線の中央)に各々取り付けた立位とし,快適な速度での10m歩行を指示した。これを下部体幹筋収縮を意識しない状態と意識した状態で各々実施した。計測前に2回歩行練習をした。下部体幹筋収縮を意識付けるために,まず股膝関節60°屈曲位でのハーフカットストレッチポール上端座位にて頭尾側方向への体幹伸展を10回促した。さらに両脚立位でも同様に頭尾側方向に体幹伸展する動作を10回実施した。この際の腹横筋の収縮を触診にて確認した。同様の計測を股OAによるTHA術後3週(退院時)で術側立脚期に体幹側方動揺を視覚的に確認できる患者5名にも実施した。得られたデータから10m歩行中の歩行周期3区間における体幹および骨盤の前後,上下,左右動揺幅を各々平均化して算出し,下部体幹筋収縮意識の有無による動揺変化を比較した。統計処理は対応のあるt検定を用い,危険率5%未満とした。【結果】健常成人の体幹では上下動揺にて意識無48.8±7.1mm,意識有51.8±6.5mmと有意な増加を認めた(p<0.05)。前後,左右では有意差はなかった。骨盤では前後,上下,左右とも意識の有無による動揺幅の有意差は見られなかった。THA術後患者は意識無にて術側立脚期に術側方向への体幹側方動揺が生じ左右幅増大を認めたが,意識有にて上下動揺幅が増大し動揺の軌跡が左右対称に近づく傾向を示した。【考察】頭尾側方向へ積極的に体幹を伸展することで腹横筋の活動が高まり,腹腔内圧が上昇し腰椎安定化作用が得られるとされる。健常成人に明らかな跛行は見られなかったため,意識の有無による著明な変化はなかったが,収縮意識が頭尾側方向であることからTHA術後患者では側方動揺の抑制につながり,左右対称的な動揺に近づいたと考える。また,上下動揺幅増大は立脚中期から後期の前方推進力増大にも影響することが推測される。したがって,下部体幹筋収縮を意識することは歩容改善の一助となる可能性が示唆された。

    BACKGROUND: The durability of uncalcined and unsintered hydroxyapatite-poly-l-lactide composite screws is unclear when used for the fixation of acetabular bone graft in total hip arthroplasty under full-weight conditions. We have used this type of screw for the fixation of acetabular bone graft in cemented or reverse-hybrid total hip arthroplasty since 2003. Hence, we conducted a follow-up study to assess the safety and efficacy of these screws when used for cemented socket fixation. METHODS: In this study, 98 patients (106 cases) who underwent fixation of acetabular bone graft in cemented or reverse-hybrid total hip arthroplasty using hydroxyapatite-poly-l-lactide composite screws were followed up for over 5 years and evaluated clinically and radiographically. The patient population comprised 10 men and 88 women with a mean age of 60.3 years (range, 41-81 years) at the time of surgery. The original diagnosis for primary total hip arthroplasty was secondary osteoarthritis in 97 cases and high hip dislocation in nine cases. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 7.6 years (range, 5-11 years). No patient in this series required revision surgery, and no radiographical loosening occurred during the follow-up period. The mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score improved from 48 (range, 7-73) preoperatively to 87 (range, 50-100) at the final follow-up. Radiographically bone graft consolidation was confirmed in all cases, and no apparent osteolysis around the cemented socket or composite screws was detected. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses with socket revision surgery for any reason, socket loosening, and appearance of a radiolucent line >1 mm in any zone as the endpoints yielded survival rates of 100%, 100%, and 86.8% at 5 years, and 100%, 100%, and 81.0% at 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSION: This absorbable screw seems to have no negative effects on the mid-term clinical results of cemented socket fixation.

    INTRODUCTION: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a corticosteroid-associated disease that mostly cause femoral head collapse and gait disturbance. At the final stage of ONFH, the most reliable treatment is total hip arthroplasty even in young patients. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful for early diagnosis, initial stages are asymptomatic, with pain intensifying after femoral head collapse. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 34-year-old female patient with rapid bilateral loss of vision was diagnosed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. She immediately received corticosteroid pulse therapy. While undergoing therapy, she complained of groin pain. The initial MRI of the hip did not show abnormal findings. As the right proximal thigh pain progressed, an MRI of the lumbar spine was performed. No compression of the spinal cord was observed, and right ONFH was suspected on the basis of a characteristic band image. The patient was diagnosed with Stage 1 ONFH 7 weeks after the initial symptoms. She was successfully treated by joint-preserving regenerative therapy using growth factor. After surgery, the patient completely recovered from pain. DISCUSSION: The occurrence of hip pain while receiving corticosteroid therapy was very rare. The present case was considered a result of reduction of the blood supply to the femoral head induced by hip pain that progressed to ONFH for unknown reasons. CONCLUSION: It is difficult to identify cases of corticosteroid-associated ONFH even in patients with potential risk. In this case, we could identify the patient extremely early based on the ONFH image and could provide joint-preserving regenerative therapy.

    Fifty-four patients (64 hips) underwent cementless total hip arthroplasty between 2000 and 2003 with a 22-mm zirconia ceramic bearing on highly cross-linked polyethylene, and were evaluated with a mean 11.9-year postoperative follow-up (range, 10-14 years). Linear wear was measured on the anteroposterior radiograph of the hip. No evidence of osteolysis and loosening was found on the final radiograph in any of the cases, and the steady-state linear wear rate was 0.017±0.018 mm/year. No significant correlation was found between the linear wear rate and age, body weight, cup inclination angle, or polyethylene thickness. Highly cross-linked polyethylene showed excellent wear resistance for >10 years when used in combination with 22-mm zirconia heads.

    OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility and safety of implementing a 12-week rehabilitation program after mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) transplantation augmented by vascularized bone grafting for idiopathic osteonecrosis (ION) of the femoral head. DESIGN: A prospective case series. SETTING: University clinical research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Participants (N=10) with ION who received MSC transplantation augmented by vascularized bone grafting. INTERVENTION: A 12-week exercise program, which included range-of-motion (ROM) exercises, muscle-strengthening exercises, and aerobic training. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Measures of ROM, muscle strength, Timed Up and Go test, and Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were collected before surgery and again at 6 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: All participants completed the 12-week program. External rotation ROM as well as extensor and abductor muscle strength significantly improved 6 months after treatment compared with that before treatment (P<.05). Significant improvements were also seen in physical function, role physical, and bodily pain subgroup scores of the SF-36 (P<.05). No serious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of a multiplex rehabilitation program after MSC transplantation and provides support for further study on the benefits of rehabilitation programs in regenerative medicine.

    BACKGROUND: Conversion of an arthrodesed hip to a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a technically demanding procedure with high complication rates. One important issue is that determining the amount of correction for a leg length discrepancy (LLD) can be difficult at the planning stage. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: The aim of this study is to assess the reliable use of computer tomography (CT)-based three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning for the conversion of arthrodesed hips to THAs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: CT-based preoperative 3D planning was used to convert three arthrodesed hips to THAs. The efficacy of the planning was evaluated with postoperative radiographic measurements involving the amount of correction for LLD, position of components, difference between targeted and actual values, and ratio of the moment arms. The clinical assessment was performed with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip score before and after THA. RESULTS: The mean amount of LLD correction and median LLD after THA were 16 mm (range, 15-17 mm) and 4 mm (range, 1-10 mm), respectively. The components were implanted close to the positions recommended by the preoperative simulation. The ratio of the moment arms indicated that the converted hips were reconstructed in a biomechanically correct manner. The implants for the conversion to THA were successfully positioned with respect to anatomy and functional outcome. The median JOA hip score improved from 50 points (range, 30-66 points) preoperatively to 79 points (range, 72-86 points) at the latest follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: CT-based preoperative 3D planning could be a powerful guidance tool for conversion of arthrodesed hips to THAs.

    【はじめに】変形性股関節症患者の歩行では,立脚中期から後期における股関節伸展を腰椎や骨盤で代償する場合がある。原因として,股関節伸展可動域制限,殿筋筋力低下,下部体幹筋安定性低下などが挙げられる。先行研究において,下部体幹筋収縮の意識により,腹臥位での股関節伸展や歩行立脚期を想定した前方へのステップ動作時の股関節伸展運動軸が解剖学的な運動軸に近づくことを報告した。そこで今回は,歩行を想定した前方へのステップ動作において下部体幹筋収縮の意識の有無による股関節伸展角度,骨盤および体幹傾斜角度変化について検討したので報告する。【方法】対象は健常成人10名(平均年齢30.0±4.5歳,身長172.0±2.3cm)で,股関節伸展,外転可動域および大殿筋,中殿筋筋力が正常である者とした。計測肢位は,マーカーを大転子頭側,上前腸骨棘,上後腸骨棘,腸骨稜,膝外側関節裂隙,上半身重心位置に付けた矢状面とし,歩行の立脚中期から後期を想定した前方へのステップ動作を立脚側からビデオカメラにて撮影した。この動作を下部体幹筋収縮を意識しない状態と意識した状態で各々実施した。計測前に5回練習した。下部体幹筋収縮は,まず背臥位にて骨盤底筋の収縮を伴う腹横筋と多裂筋の同時収縮を検者が触診にて指導し,さらに立位にて収縮を確認した後,ステップ動作で再現した。同様の計測を変形性股関節症によるTHA3週後(退院時)患者5名にも実施した。撮影動画より矢状面における立脚後期の股関節伸展角度,骨盤傾斜角度,体幹傾斜角度をImage Jにてパソコン上で求め,各々を比較した。計測方法は,股関節伸展は大転子頭側と膝外側関節裂隙を結ぶ線と垂直線とのなす角度,骨盤傾斜は上前腸骨棘と上後腸骨棘とを結ぶ線と水平線とのなす角度,体幹傾斜は上半身重心位置と腸骨稜を結ぶ線と垂直線とのなす角度とした。静止立位における各々の角度も計測し,下部体幹筋収縮意識の有無によるステップ動作時と静止立位時の角度を比較し変化量として算出した。統計処理は対応のあるt検定を用い,危険率5%未満とした。【結果】骨盤傾斜角度は意識無2.0±1.0°,意識有3.0±1.1°と後傾増加(前傾減少)を認めた(p<0.01)。体幹傾斜角度は意識無0.7±3.8°,意識有0.8±3.1°と伸展が増加し,股関節伸展角度は意識無4.1±2.5°,意識有5.6±3.2°と増加したが有意差はなかった。THA3週後患者でも意識することにより同様の傾向を示したが,角度変化量にはばらつきを認めた。【考察】歩行立脚期を想定した前方へのステップ動作において,下部体幹筋収縮を意識したことで立脚後期での骨盤前傾が減少し,さらに体幹前傾減少,股関節伸展角度増加傾向を示した。一般的に立脚後期では股関節伸展に伴い骨盤前傾が生じ,見かけ上の股関節過伸展を助長するといわれている。しかし,THA後患者の歩行では,股関節伸展可動域がある程度得られていても,術前の姿勢や歩容の影響を受け,立脚後期の股関節伸展が不十分となり,骨盤の過剰な前傾や後退,腰椎伸展増大などで代償する場合がある。下部体幹筋が収縮すると腹腔内圧が上昇し腰椎の安定化作用が得られることや,頭尾側方向に積極的に体幹を伸展することで腹横筋の活動が高まることが報告されている。したがって,下部体幹筋収縮の意識により健常成人においても骨盤や体幹の動きが軽減し,股関節伸展角度が増加したことから,THA後患者の歩容改善の一助となる可能性が示唆された。THA3週後患者でも同様の傾向を示したが,角度変化量にばらつきを認めたため,下部体幹筋収縮の意識を反復的且つ継続的に実施した上での効果の検討がさらに必要であると考える。【理学療法学研究としての意義】股関節疾患は不良姿勢を伴うことが多く,手術を施行しても術前の歩行パターンを改善するのに時間を要する。特に変形性股関節症ではTHA後に理学療法を実施し,疼痛や可動域,筋力は改善しても,立脚後期における股関節伸展を腰椎および骨盤にて代償する症例を臨床上経験する。先行研究により,前方へのステップ動作にて,下部体幹筋収縮を意識することで股関節伸展の運動軸が解剖学的運動軸に近づく傾向を示した。これを踏まえ,本研究の結果より下部体幹筋収縮を意識したことで骨盤前傾および体幹前傾減少,股関節伸展増大傾向を認めたことから,代償を抑制した状態で,より股関節を中心とした立脚後期に繋がる可能性が示唆された。股関節機能の改善だけでなく,下部体幹筋の収縮方法も十分に指導し,腰椎および骨盤の安定化を得ることも,歩容改善の一助となるといえる。

    Idiopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ION) is a painful disorder that progresses to collapse of the femoral head and destruction of the hip joint. Although its precise pathology remains unknown, the loss of blood supply causing the loss of living bone-forming cells is a hallmark of the pathophysiology of osteonecrosis. Transplantation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising tool for regenerating the musculoskeletal system. The aim of the present study was to assess the safety and efficacy of transplantation of cultured autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs mixed with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in combination with vascularized bone grafts for the treatment of advanced stage ION in a clinical trial. Ten patients with stage 3 ION were enrolled in this study. Autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured with autologous serum, and cells (0.5-1.0×10(8)) were transplanted after mixing with β-TCP granules in combination with vascularized iliac bone grafts. Patients were assessed 24 months after treatment. The primary and secondary endpoints were progression of the radiological stage and changes in bone volume at the femoral head, and clinical score, respectively. Nine of ten patients completed the protocol, seven of whom remained at stage 3, and the remaining two cases progressed to stage 4. The average bone volume increased from 56.5±8.5 cm(3) to 57.7±10.6 cm(3). The average clinical score according to the Japan Orthopaedic Association improved from 65.6±25.5 points to 87.9±19.0 points. One severe adverse event was observed, which was not related to the clinical trial. Although the efficacy of cell transplantation was still to be determined, all procedures were successfully performed and some young patients with extensive necrotic lesions with pain demonstrated good bone regeneration with amelioration of symptoms. Further improvements in our method using MSCs and the proper selection of patients will open a new approach for the treatment of this refractory disease.

    One of the challenges of using bioactive bone cements is adjusting their handling properties for clinical application. To resolve the poorer handling properties of bioactive bone cements we developed a novel bioactive bone cement containing a unique polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) powder, termed SPD-PMMA (40 μm in diameter), composed of cohered minute particles of PMMA (0.5 μm). The present study aimed to examine the mechanical and handling properties and the in vivo bone bonding strength of this cement. The titania content of the cement varied from 10 to 30 wt.% (Ts10, Ts20, and Ts30). The mechanical and thermal properties of Ts10 and Ts20 exceeded those of commercially available PMMA cements (PMMAc). The setting properties of Ts20, including a shorter dough time and a working time that was comparable with that of PMMAc, were adequate for clinical application. Hardened cylindrical cement specimens were inserted into rabbit femurs and the interfacial shear strengths were measured by a push-out test at 6, 12, and 26 weeks after the operation. The interfacial shear strength values (in Newtons per square millimeter) of Ts10, Ts20, and Ts30 at 12 weeks and those of Ts20 and Ts30 at 26 weeks were significantly higher than that of PMMAc (P<0.05). These results show that a bioactive titania-PMMA composite bone cement modified by SPD-PMMA particles possesses adequate mechanical and handling properties, as well as osteoconductivity and in vivo bone bonding ability, and can be used for prosthesis fixation.

    Several types of acetabular reinforcement devices are used to prevent the collapse of grafted bone in revision total hip arthroplasty. However, it remains unclear how the stress is reduced by different devices. We used finite element analysis to evaluate 4 types of acetabular reinforcement devices: Kerboull-type device, Burch-Schneider anti-protrusio cage, Mueller ring, and Ganz ring. The control was a socket fixed with bone cement without any reinforcement devices. The stress distribution on the inner surface of each socket was calculated by binarization image processing. For all 4 reinforcement devices, the stress was reduced to less than one-half of that in the control. All the devices were useful for preventing the collapse of bulk bone grafts applied to load-bearing defects.

    We retrospectively reviewed 40 hips in 36 patients who had undergone acetabular reconstruction using a titanium Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device with bone allografts between May 2001 and April 2006. Impacted bone allografts were used for the management of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Type II defects in 17 hips, and bulk bone allografts together with impacted allografts were used for the management of Type III defects in 23 hips. A total of five hips showed radiological failure at a mean follow-up of 6.7 years (4.5 to 9.3), two of which were infected. The mean pre-operative Merle d'Aubigné score was 10 (5 to 15) vs 13.6 (9 to 18) at the latest follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier survival rate at ten years, calculated using radiological failure or revision of the acetabular component for any reason as the endpoint, was 87% (95% confidence interval 76.3 to 97.7). A separate experimental analysis of the mechanical properties of the device and the load-displacement properties of bone grafts showed that a structurally hard allograft resected from femoral heads of patients with osteoarthritis should be preferentially used in any type of defect. If impacted bone allografts were used, a bone graft thickness of < 25 mm was acceptable in Type II defects. This clinical study indicates that revision total hip replacement using the Kerboull-type acetabular reinforcement device with bone allografts yielded satisfactory mid-term results.

    BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of severe dislocation of the hip is a technically demanding procedure. In most previous reports, techniques and clinical outcomes using cementless prostheses are widely reported, but there have been few reports on the technique and outcomes using cemented prostheses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of a cemented THA with a simultaneous subtrochanteric femoral shortening transverse osteotomy in patients with Crowe type III or IV developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 15 hips in 11 patients who underwent cemented THA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening transverse osteotomy and with placement of the acetabular component at the level of the anatomic hip center. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with the Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score. Radiographic examination was performed to evaluate the level of the femoral osteotomy site, of the radiographic leg lengthening, and of bone union. RESULTS: The clinical evaluation by the Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score was improved from 8.1 ± 2.5 preoperatively to 15.1 ± 1.3 at the time of final follow-up. Radiographic evidence of bone union at the osteotomy site appeared at more than 6 months after operation. Moreover, there were 3 (20%) nonunions that needed reoperation. No acetabular and femoral components exhibited radiological loosening at the time of final follow-up. In addition, one delayed union causing thigh pain was treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound that accelerated bone formation. CONCLUSION: Our results in this study indicate that we should prevent instability at the transverse osteotomy site and an adequate intercalary cortical bone graft is needed to prevent nonunion in cemented THA combined with a subtrochanteric femoral shortening transverse osteotomy. We should apply this procedure with caution in patients, especially those who show less potential bone formation activity.

    In this study, we developed three types of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based composite cement with low contents of nonsilanized titania particles (5, 10, and 20 wt % TiO(2), respectively: designated T5, T10, and T20). The osteoconductivity, mechanical properties, and handling characteristics of these cements were compared with those of commercially available PMMA cement (PMMAc). The cement was inserted into rat tibiae and solidified in situ. After 6 and 12 weeks, tibiae were removed for evaluation of osteoconductivity using Stevenel's Blue and Van Gieson's picrofuchsin staining. The affinity indices reflecting the osteoconductivity of T10 and T20 were 33.4 ± 12.8 and 56.5 ± 14.1 at 6 weeks, and 67.0 ± 18.0 and 65.0 ± 51.7 at 12 weeks, respectively, and were significantly higher than for PMMAc (p < 0.01). The compressive and flexural strengths of T5, T10, and T20 exceeded those of PMMAc, whereas the elasticity did not differ significantly. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis showed that the micron-sized and spherical titania particles were well dispersed in T20 and were exposed on the surface of the cement that made direct contact with bone. These results show that T20 is a promising bioactive bone cement for use in prosthesis fixation.

    We present the long-term results (mean follow-up, 11.8 years; range, 6.3-15.4 years) of cemented total hip arthroplasty with acetabular bulk bone grafting in 147 dysplastic hips using improved surgical techniques. Operations were performed through a direct lateral approach with partial trochanteric osteotomy to avoid nonunion of the greater trochanter. Bioresorbable poly(l-lactide) screws were used for fixation of the acetabular bone grafts to prevent any possible delayed remodeling. Preoperative planning using computer simulation was performed to estimate the optimal size and position of the acetabular component. Analysis predicted rates of survival of the acetabular component of 96% and 91% at 15 years, with revision for aseptic loosening and radiologic loosening as the end points, respectively. Our results indicate excellent long-term clinical and radiographic survivorship of a cemented acetabular component with bulk autograft for acetabular dysplasia.

    BACKGROUND: Cup arthroplasty was used in the initial attempts to preserve the bone stock of the femoral head and neck for hip reconstruction. However, little conclusive data are available regarding its long-term survivorship. METHODS: We present a long-term survivorship analysis (mean follow-up, 19.3 years; range, 5-36.6 years) after vitallium mold arthroplasty in 77 secondary osteoarthritic hips. RESULTS: Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis predicted a survival rate for vitallium mold arthroplasty of 81.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 76.7-86.5) at 20 years and 59.1% (95% CI, 51.8-66.5) at 30 years, with conversion to total hip arthroplasty as the endpoint. The mean Merle d'Aubigné and Postel hip score showed a significant decrease in mobility from 4.12 (range, 3.18-5.86) 6 months after the operation to 3.19 (range, 1.7-4.6) at the last follow-up. No significant differences were observed for the pain score from 6 months after the operation (5.05; range, 4.2-5.9) to the last follow-up (4.46; range, 2.88-6.04)) or score for the ability to walk, from 6 months after the operation (2.5; range, 1.4-3.6) to the last follow-up (3.13; range, 1.59-4.67). Radiographically, the proximal and medial migration of the cup measured at the last follow-up was 10.4 +/- 5.4 mm (P < 0.01) and 0.2 +/- 2.1 mm (P > 0.05), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate inferior long-term survivorship after vitallium mold compared with that after Charnley low-friction arthroplasty.

    A composite bone cement designated G2B1 that contains beta tricalcium phosphate particles was developed as a bone substitute for percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty. In this study, both G2B1 and commercial PMMA bone cement (CMW1) were implanted into proximal tibiae of rabbits, and their bone-bonding strengths were evaluated at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after implantation. Some of the specimens were evaluated histologically using Giemsa surface staining, contact microradiography (CMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Histological findings showed that G2B1 contacted bone directly without intervening soft tissue in the specimens at each time point, while there was always a soft tissue layer between CMW1 and bone. The bone-bonding strength of G2B1 was significantly higher than that of CMW1 at each time point, and significantly increased from 4 weeks to 8 and 12 weeks, while it decreased significantly from 12 weeks to 16 weeks. Bone remodeling of the cortex under the cement was observed especially for G2B1 and presumably influenced the bone bonding strength of the cement. The results indicate that G2B1 has bioactivity, and bone bonding strength of bioactive bone cements can be estimated fairly with this experimental model in the short term.

    In the conversion of an arthrodesed hip to a total hip arthroplasty, the osteotomy of the femoral neck and the placement of the acetabular socket are difficult procedures as anatomical abnormalities hamper identification of the femoral neck and of the original center of the acetabulum. A 59-year-old woman who had a hip arthrodesis for dysplastic osteoarthritis at 21 years of age underwent total hip arthroplasty for relief of back pain, achievement of good gait function, and improvement of activities of daily living. In this report, we introduce a technical solution, using a computed tomography-based navigation system to determine the site and direction of the femoral neck osteotomy and the positioning of the acetabular socket.

    This study reviewed a series of cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplasia, with structural autograft fixed with poly-L-lactic acid screws. Grafted bone union was confirmed radiologically in every case, and there were no cases of early collapse or extravasation of grafted bone. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis of socket revision, radiologic loosening of the socket, and the appearance of a radiolucent line greater than 1 mm in the graft-socket interface as the end points indicated survival rates of 99%, 97.1%, and 63.5% at 10 years and 96.6%, 90.2%, and 56.1% at 15 years, respectively. The results of this study indicated that poly-L-lactic acid screws are safe and useful for the fixation of acetabular bone graft concomitant to cemented THA with a careful rehabilitation program.

    To investigate the clinical results of cross-linked polyethylene (CLPE) and to compare the CLPE wear against zirconia and stainless steel heads, we studied the radiographic wear after a minimum 3-year follow-up in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Ninety-four hips were randomly implanted with a 22.225-mm head cemented THA-the group of non-CLPE against zirconia and CLPE against 2 different zirconias and stainless steel. The linear wear rate was significantly lower in the group of CLPE against zirconia (0.067, 0.059 mm/y) and against stainless steel (0.068 mm/y) compared with non-CLPE against zirconia (0.170 mm/y). In the short-term results, the wear performance of CLPE against zirconia was superior to that of non-CLPE; however, it did not show a better wear rate than CLPE against stainless steel. Furthermore, long-term investigations will be necessary for understanding CLPE wear in vivo.

    A method has been developed for creating a bioactive coating on titanium by alkaline and heat treatment, and shown that it forms a thin layer of hydroxyapatite (HA) on the surface of implants when soaked in simulated body fluid. A series of 70 cementless primary total hip arthroplasties using this coating technique on a porous titanium surface was performed, and followed up the patients for a mean period of 4.8 years. There were no instances of loosening or revision, or formation of a reactive line on the porous coating. Although radiography just after operation showed a gap between the host bone and the socket in over 70% of cases, all the gaps disappeared within a year, indicating the good osteoconduction provided by the coating. Alkaline-heat treatment of titanium to provide a thin HA coating has several advantages over plasma-spraying, including no degeneration or absorption of the HA coating, simplicity of the manufacturing process, and cost effectiveness. In addition, this method allows homogeneous deposition of bone-like apatite within a porous implant. Although this was a relatively short-term study, treatment that creates a bioactive surface on titanium and titanium alloy implants has considerable promise for clinical application.

    We reviewed 44 consecutive revision hip replacements in 38 patients performed using the cement-in-cement technique. All were performed for acetabular loosening in the presence of a well-fixed femoral component. The mean follow-up was 5.1 years (2 to 10.1). Radiological analysis at final follow-up indicated no loosening of the femoral component, except for one case with a continuous radiolucent line in all zones and peri-prosthetic fracture which required further revision. Peri-operative complications included nine proximal femoral fractures (20.4%) and perforation of the proximal femur in one hip. In five hips wiring or fixation with a braided suture was undertaken but no additional augmentation was required. There was an improvement in the mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score from 55.5 (28 to 81) pre-operatively to 77.8 (40 to 95) at final follow-up (p < 0.001). Revision using a cement-in-cement technique allows increased exposure for acetabular revision and is effective in the medium term. Further follow-up is required to assess the long-term results in the light of in vitro studies which have questioned the quality of the cement-in-cement bond.

    A 30-year-old man presented with pain and limitation of movement of the right hip. The symptoms had failed to respond to conservative treatment. Radiographs and CT scans revealed evidence of impingement between the femoral head-neck junction and an abnormally large anterior inferior iliac spine. Resection of the hypertrophic anterior inferior iliac spine was performed which produced full painless restoration of function of the hip. Hypertrophy of the anterior inferior iliac spine as a cause of femoro-acetabular impingement has not previously been described.

    In this study, polymethylmethacrylate-based composite cements containing 40-55.6 wt% micron-sized titania (titanium oxide) particles were developed, and their mechanical, setting, and biological properties evaluated. Three types of composite cement containing 40, 50, and 55.6 wt% silanized titania were designated ST2-40c, ST2-50c, and ST2-56c, respectively. In animal experiments, ST2-50c and ST2-56c were implanted into rat tibiae and solidified in situ. An affinity index was used to evaluate osteoconductivity. Compressive and bending strength of ST2-56c was 147.7+/-3.2 and 69.3+/-7.4; those of the other cements exceeded 100 MPa and 50 MPa, respectively. The affinity indices of ST2-56c were 42.1+/-12.9 at six weeks and 53.4+/-16.6 at 12 weeks, and were significantly higher than for ST2-50c and a commercial PMMA bone cement within 12 weeks. Our data indicate that bone cement containing micron-sized titania particles can be applied to prosthesis fixation as well as vertebroplasty, and ST2-56c is a good candidate cement.

    Removal of the femoral bone cement in revision total hip arthroplasty with a high-powered drill or burr potentially has a risk of damage to the bone, resulting in perforation and fracture of the femur. Recently, we have used a computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation system for the revision of cemented total hip arthroplasty with a high-powered burr and completely removed the distal femoral bone cement with no complications in 6 cases. Thus, a computer-assisted fluoroscopic navigation system is a useful tool for the improvement of the surgical technique in revision total hip arthroplasty.

The results indicate that G21B1 has excellent bioactivity.

    A new composite bone cement designated "G2B1" was developed for percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty. G2B1 contains beta tricalcium phosphate particles and methylmethacrylate-methylacrylate copolymer as the powder components, and methylmethacrylate, urethane dimethacrylate, and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate as the liquid components. Biocompatibility and osteoconductivity were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, contact microradiography, and Giemsa surface staining 4, 8, 12, 26, and 52 weeks after implantation into rat tibiae. To evaluate osteoconductivity, affinity indices (%) were calculated. Scanning electron microscopy and contact microradiography revealed that bone contact with G2B1 was attained within 4 weeks (affinity index: 50.2 +/- 11.8 at 4 weeks) and at most of the margin within 26 weeks (affinity index: 87.4 +/- 7.2 at 26 weeks). Specifically, G2B1 contacted bone via a wide calcium-phosphate-rich layer, and its degradation started within 8 weeks, mainly in the marginal area. Giemsa surface staining showed that there was almost no inflammatory reaction around the G2B1. These results indicate that G2B1 is a biocompatible and osteoconductive bone cement.

    Three types of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based composite cements containing 40-56 wt% micron-sized titania (titanium oxide) particles, designated ST2-40c, ST2-50c, and ST2-56c, were developed as bone substitutes for vertebroplasty, and evaluated for their mechanical, setting, and biological properties. In animal experiments, ST2-50c and ST2-56c were implanted into rat tibiae and solidified in situ. Their biological properties were evaluated at 6 and 12 weeks after implantation. Compressive strength, bending strength, and bending modulus increased with increasing titania content. Peak temperature during the setting reaction decreased as the filler content increased. ST2-56c had direct contact with bone over larger areas than ST2-50c at 6 and 12 weeks. Data from the present study indicated that ST2-56c is a good candidate as a bone substitute for vertebroplasty.

    Bioactive bone cement with mechanical properties higher than that of commercial polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement are strongly desired to be developed. In the present study, PMMA-based cement incorporated with nano-sized rutile particles was prepared. The PMMA-based cement (rutile content was 50 wt%) shows the compressive strength (136 MPa) higher than that of commercial PMMA bone cement (88 MPa). The hardened cement formed apatite on the surface in a simulated body fluid within 3 days. Therefore, this PMMA-based cement incorporated with rutile particles might be useful as cement for fixation of prostheses as well as self-setting bone substitutes, because of its high apatite forming ability and mechanical strength.

    We had investigated the biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and biodegradability of a porous composite of hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly-DL-lactide (PDLLA) implanted into rabbit femoral condyles. It showed excellent osteoconductivity and biodegradability as a bone substitute. Newly formed bones were remodeled, and materials were resorbed almost completely at 78 weeks after implantation. In consideration of its biocompatibility and degradability, we investigated its potential for use as a cellular scaffold and evaluated its osteoinductive property. On implantation to the rat dorsal subcutaneous tissue loaded with syngeneic bone marrow cells, osteogenesis with enchondral ossification was seen both on and in the material at 3 weeks after implantation. This osteogenesis in the HA/PDLLA tended to get mature and newly formed bone tissues were found in the material by 6 weeks. To investigate the osteoinductive property material itself has, we attempted to implant this porous composite material to extra-osseous canine dorsal muscle. At 2 months, osteogenesis was seen in the pores of the material. It indicated the material induced osteogenesis with intramembranous ossification process. Therefore, HA/PDLLA might be a desirable material for bone substitutes and cellar scaffolds with osteoconductive and osteoinductive property.

    Alumina powder containing delta, gamma crystal phases (designated delta AP) showed osteoconducfivity. delta AP was manufactured by fusing pulverized alumina powder and quenching it. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate osteoconductivity of delta AP using rat tibiae. Alumina powder containing a crystal phase (designated alpha AP) was used as a reference material. These two types of alumina powder were packed into the intramedullary canals of rat tibiae to evaluate osteoconductivity, as determined by an affinity index. Rats were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. The affinity index, equal to the length of bone in direct contact with the powder surface expressed as a percentage of the total length of the powder surface, was calculated for each alumina powder at each interval. At 4 and 8 weeks, the affinity indices for delta AP were significantly higher than those for alpha AP. For both delta AP and alpha AP, there were no significant differences between the values for 4 and 8 weeks. This study revealed that the osteoconductivity of delta AP was due to the alumina's delta crystal phases. delta AP shows promise as a basis for developing a osteoconductive biomaterial.

    A new composite bone cement designated 'G2B1' was developed for percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty. G2B1 contains beta tricalcium phosphate particles and methylmethacrylate-methylacrylate copolymer as the powder components, and methylmethacrylate, urethane dimethacrylate, and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate as the liquid components. Osteoconductivity and histological changes with time were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, contact microradiography, and Giemsa surface staining 4, 8, 12, 26, and 52 weeks after implantation into rat tibiae. To evaluate osteoconductivity, affinity indices (%) were calculated. Scanning electron microscopy and contact microradiography revealed that bone contact with G2B1 was attained within 4 weeks (affinity index: 50.2 +/- 11.8 at 4 weeks) and at most of the margin within 26 weeks (affinity index: 87.4 +/- 7.2 at 26 weeks). Giemsa surface staining showed that there was almost no inflammatory reaction around the G2B1. These results indicate that G2B1 is a biocompatible and highly osteoconductive bone cement.

    We investigated the biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and biodegradability of a porous composite of hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly-DL-lactide (PDLLA) implanted into rabbit femoral condyles and compared it with porous HA. Six weeks after implantation, the HA/PDLLA was covered with bone and contacted the bone directly. The amount of newly formed bone in the pores was similar in both materials during the examined period. The newly formed bone in the HA/PDLLA tended to increase over 26 weeks, but that in the HA did not show a significant increase after 12 weeks. By 26 weeks, remodeling of the newly formed bone in the pores was seen and bone marrow tissue was found in the pores of the HA/PDLLA. The porous HA/PDLLA was resorbed much faster than the porous HA. Porous HA/PDLLA was resorbed continuously through bone formation and remodeling. Conversely, porous HA was scarcely resorbed throughout the period. HA/PDLLA is thought to be degraded almost completely after about 1 year, and in this study, porous HA/PDLLA showed excellent osteoconductivity and faster resorption than HA. Therefore, HA/PDLLA might be a desirable material for bone substitutes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Three types of bioactive polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based bone cement containing nano-sized titania (TiO2) particles were prepared, and their mechanical properties and osteoconductivity are evaluated. The three types of bioactive bone cement were T50c, ST50c, and ST60c, which contained 50 wt% TiO2, and 50 and 60 wt% silanized TiO2, respectively. Commercially available PMMA cement (PMMAc) was used as a control. The cements were inserted into rat tibiae and allowed to solidify in situ. After 6 and 12 weeks, tibiae were removed for evaluation of osteoconductivity using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact microradiography (CMR), and Giemsa surface staining. SEM revealed that ST60c and ST50c were directly apposed to bone while T50c and PMMAc were not. The osteoconduction of ST60c was significantly better than that of the other cements at each time interval, and the osteoconduction of T50c was no better than that of PMMAc. The compressive strength of ST60c was equivalent to that of PMMAc. These results show that ST60c is a promising material for use as a bone substitute.

    We investigated the biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and biodegradability of porous composite of Hydroxyapatite (HA) and Poly D/L-lactide (PDLLA). At 6weeks afterimplantation to rabbit femoral condyle, HA/PDLLA was covered with bone and contacted with bone directly. The amounts of newly formed bone in the pores had increased during the examined period. By 26weeks, bone remodeling of formed bone in the pores was seen and bone marrow tissue formation was seen in the pores of HA/PDLLA. Porous HA/PDLLA was resorbed much faster than porous HA as a control. Porous HA/PDLLA was resorbed constantly through the bone formation and bone remodeling but porous HA was hardly resorbed during the period. It might be one of the desirable materials for bone substitute. To evaluate for a scaffold, disc shaped blocks loaded with rat bone marrow cell were implanted in the subcutaneous pouch of the back of syngeneic rat. At 3weeks afterimplantation, newly bone fort-nation in the pores was observed at ectopic site. It also suggested the availability of this material as cell scaffolds.

    Two types of new bioactive polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based bone cements containing nano-sized titania (TiO2) particles were prepared and evaluated to assess the effect of TiO2 content on their mechanical properties and osteoconductivity. We prepared two types of bioactive bone cement, ST50c and ST60c. which contained 50 wt% silanized TiO2 and 60 wt% silanized TiO2, respectively. Commercially available PMMA cement (PMMAc) was used as a control. The cements were inserted into rat tibiae and solidified in situ. After 6 and 12 weeks, they were taken out for evaluation of osteoconductivity by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact microradiography (CMR) and Giemsa surface staining. SEM revealed that ST60c and ST50c apposed to bone directly while PMMAc did not. The affinity index of ST60c, was significantly higher than for the other cements at each time interval. The results showed that ST60c was a promising material, but its mechanical strength should be improved before application in prosthesis fixation.

    A new bioactive bone cement (cGBC) consisting of crystallized MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass beads and high-molecular-weight polymethyl methacrylate (hPMMA) has been developed to overcome the degradation seen with a previously reported cement (GBC) consisting of MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-CaF2 glass beads and hPMMA. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the degradation of cGBC using an invivo aging test, and to compare the degradation of cGBC with that of GBC. Hardened rectangular specimens (20x4x3mm) were prepared from both cements. Their initial bending strengths were measured using the three-point bending method. GBC and cGBC specimens were then implanted into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of rats, removed after 6 or 12 months, and tested for bending strength. ne initial bending strengths (MPa) of GBC and cGBC were 141.9 +/- 1.8 and-144.4 +/- 2.4, respectively, while at 6 months they were 109.1 +/- 2.6 and 114.1 +/- 4.9, and at 12 months they were 109.1 +/- 3.2 and 113.1 +/- 3.3, respectively. Although the difference in initial bending strengths was not significant, the bending strength of cGBC was significantly higher than that of GBC at 6 and 12 months, indicating that cGBC is more resistant to cement degradation. The bending strengths of both GBC and cGBC decreased significantly from 0 to 6 months but did not change significantly thereafter. Thus, degradation of cGBC and GBC does not appear to continue after 6 months. We believe that cGBC and GBC are strong enough for use under weight-bearing conditions and that their mechanical strength (especially that of cGBC) is retained in vivo.

    The degradation of a bioactive bone cement (GBC), consisting of bioactive MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-CaF2 glass beads and high-molecular-weight polymethyl methacrylate (hPMMA) was evaluated in an in vivo aging test. Hardened rectangular specimens were prepared from two GBC formulations (containing 50%w/w [GBC50] or 60%w/w [GBC60] bioactive beads) and a conventional PMMA bone cement control (CMW-1). Initial bending strengths were measured using the three-point bending method. Specimens of all three cements were then implanted into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue of rats, removed after 3, 6 or 12 months, and tested for bending strength. The bending strengths (MPa) of GBC50 at baseline (0 months), 3, 6 and 12 months were 136 1, 119 3, 106 5 and 104 5, respectively. Corresponding values were 138 3, 120 3, 110 2 and 109 5 for GBC60, and 106+/-5, 97+/-5, 92+/-4 and 88+/-4 for CMW-1. Although the bending strengths of all three cements decreased significantly (p<0.05) from 0 to 6 months, those of GBC50 and GBC60 did not change significantly thereafter, whereas that of CMW-1 declined significantly between 6 and 12 months. Thus, degradation of GBC50 and GBC60 does not appear to continue after 6 months, whereas CMW-1 degrades progressively over 12 months. Moreover, the bending strengths of GBC50 and GBC60 (especially GBC60) were significantly higher than that of CMW-1 throughout. We believe that GBC60 is strong enough for use under weight-bearing conditions and that its mechanical strength is retained in vivo.

    We aimed to compare the osteoconductivity of titania bone cement(TBC) and commercial PMMA bone cement (PBC) in the knee joint and determine their bone-bonding ability in osteoporosis. We implanted TBC and PBC into rabbit femoral condyles and euthanized at 6, 12, and 26 weeks, and affinity indices were measured to evaluate osteoconductivity. We generated a rabbit model of osteoporosis through bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and an 8-week treatment with methylprednisolone sodium succinate (PSL). Pre-hardened TBC and PBC were implanted into the femoral diaphysis of the OVX+PSL rabbits, and they were killed at 6 weeks to evalulate the interfacial shear strength. Affinity indices were significantly higher for TBC than for PBC at 12 weeks and 26 weeks. The interfacial shear strength was significantly higher for TBC than for PBC at 6 weeks. These results indicate that TBC is a promising bioactive bone cement for prosthesis fixation in total knee arthroplasty, especially for osteoporosis patients.

    We conducted 29 cemented total hip arthroplasties in 18 adult female beagles using titania bone cement (TBC) or commercial polymethylmethacrylate bone cement (PBC). The dogs were killed 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively to evaluate osteoconductivity using bone-cement contact ratio (affinity index) in the acetabulum. Push-out tests were also performed with femoral specimen to evaluate bone-bonding strength at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. The affinity indices and the bone-bonding strength of TBC were higher than those of PBC at each time interval. Histologically, TBC was in direct contact with bone without intervening with fibrous tissue over larger areas, and newly formed bone was observed along the cement. The apparent bioactivity of TBC indicates its potential utility in clinical practice.
