RESUMO
BACKGROUND This retrospective study investigated the clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes, and bone remodeling patterns associated with a Medial/Lateral Taper (M/L Taper) stem and Link Classic Uncemented (LCU) stem in 1-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIAL AND METHODS The results of 52 patients who underwent 1-stage bilateral THA with a M/L Taper stem on one side and an LCU stem on the other between January 2012 and February 2015 were retrospectively compared. Patients were clinically assessed by the Harris hip score (HHS), visual analogue score (VAS) and incidence of complications. Radiological indicators were measured. Periprosthetic bone remodeling was assessed via bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. RESULTS The mean follow-up time was 5.2 years. At each follow-up, there was no difference in the HHS and VAS between the 2 groups. The neck-shaft angle, offset, vertical height of the rotational center and limb lengthening were lower in the M/L Taper group than in the LCU group (P<0.001). The Engh total score was lower in the LCU group (P=0.039). Significantly higher (P<0.001) BMDs were observed in the M/L Taper group in Gruen zones 1, 2, and 6. significantly lower (P<0.001) BMDs were observed in the M/L Taper group in Gruen zones 3 and 5. CONCLUSIONS Due to the increased postoperative neck-shaft angle, the full coated dual-wedge classic stem was prone to cause lower limb lengthening. The proximal coated single-wedge new stem patients were more likely to have an insufficient postoperative neck length. The new stem achieved load transfer and proximal fixation, leading to better proximal femoral bone preservation is more in line with human biomechanical characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics and risk factors for postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF). This was a retrospective cohort study of 108 patients with and 432 control patients without postoperative PFF. Demographic characteristics, surgery-related information (primary hip disease diagnosed, fixation, femoral stem, method of operation, and bone resorption of the proximal femur), and postoperative patient outcomes (hip function, treatment history, and patients' lifestyle behaviors) were recorded and compared between the groups. PFF characteristics, such as the classification, time, and cause, were also documented, and a Cox regression model was built to identify the independent risk factors for postoperative PFF in these patients. Six independent risk factors for postoperative PFF were identified, namely, advanced age (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.026, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.007-1.045), femoral neck fracture as the primary disease (HR = 4.536, 95% CI = 2.955-6.961), osteoporosis (HR = 2.043, 95% CI = 1.234-3.383), hemiarthroplasty (or HA, HR = 2.173, 95% CI = 1.327-3.558), bone resorption of the proximal femur (HR = 1.627, 95% CI = 1.090-2.430), and a standard- or long-stem femoral prosthesis (HR = 2.996, 95% CI = 1.480-6.067). The predictive values for a low risk (estimated incidence ≤ 50%), moderate risk (estimated incidence 51%-89%), and high risk (estimated incidence ≥ 90%) of PFF were ≤ 3.0 points, 3.0-10.0 points, and ≥ 10.0 points, respectively. Most patients with postoperative PFF had Vancouver type B fractures. Six independent risk factors for postoperative PFF were identified: advanced age, hip fracture as the primary disease, osteoporosis, HA, bone resorption of the proximal femur, and a long femoral stem.
RESUMO
Preoperative planning with computed tomography (CT)-based 3-dimensiona (3D) templating has been achieved precise placement of hip components. This study investigated the role of the software (3-dimensional preoperative planning for primary total hip arthroplasty [THA] based on artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence hip [AIHIP]) for surgeons with different experience levels in primary THA. In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients, who had undergone THA with the help of the AIHIP, and matched to patients, who had undergone THA without the help of the AIHIP, by age and the doctor who operated on them. The subjects were divided into 4 groups, senior surgeon (Chief of Surgery) with AIHIP group, senior surgeon without AIHIP group, junior surgeon (Associate Chief of Surgery) with AIHIP group and junior surgeon without AIHIP group. The general data, imaging index, clinical outcomes and accuracy of stem size prediction and cup size prediction were retrospectively documented for all patients. There was a significant difference in discrepancy in leg length (P = .010), neck-shaft angle (P = .025) and femoral offset (P = .031) between the healthy side and the affected side, operation duration (P < .001), decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) per 24 hours (P = .046), intraoperative radiation exposure frequency (P < .050) and postoperative complications (overall P = .035) among the patients in junior surgeon group. No significant differences were found between senior surgeon groups with respect to discrepancy in leg length (P = .793), neck-shaft angle (P = .088)and femoral offset (P = .946) between the healthy side and the affected side, operation duration (P = .085), decrease in Hb per 24 hours (P = .952), intraoperative radiation exposure frequency (P = .094) and postoperative complications (overall P = .378). The stem sizes of 95% were accurately estimated to be within 1 stem size, and 97% of the cup size estimates were accurate to within 1 cup size in senior surgeon group with AIHIP. A total of 87% stem sizes were accurately estimated to be within 1 stem size, and 85% cup sizes were accurate to within 1 cup size in junior surgeon group with AIHIP. In conclusion, our study suggests that an AI-based preoperative 3D planning system for THA is a valuable adjunctive tool for junior doctor and should routinely be performed preoperatively.

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the long-term survival rate, complications, as well as the clinical and radiological outcomes of hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty using constrained polyethylene liners in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study that included patients with ischemic stroke who underwent hip arthroplasty from March 2010 to September 2017. In the Constrained Acetabular Liners (CAL) group, patients received an uncemented acetabular shell with a constrained polyethylene liner. The Dual Mobility (DM) group underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA). Additionally, hip function, range of motion, quality of life, the incidence of clinical complications, and prosthesis stability were investigated. Results: 96 patients with unilateral femoral neck fractures who underwent hip replacement with CAL were included in the CAL group, while 103 patients who underwent hip replacement with a dual mobility head were included in the DM group. VAS, and SF-36 data were available for both CAL and DM groups. At the 1-year postoperative follow-up, the HHS in the CAL group was significantly lower than that in the DM group (80.83 ± 3.91 vs. 83.17 ± 4.15, P < 0.05). The VAS score in the CAL group peaked at the 1-year follow-up (2.07 ± 0.91 vs. 1.49 ± 0.85, P < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of HSS, VAS, and SF-36 at the last follow-up after surgery. Operative time and the amount of bleeding in the DM group were significantly lower than those in the CAL group (105.30 ± 29.68 vs. 94.85 ± 31.07; 355.11 ± 123.95 vs. 302.22 ± 107.68, P < 0.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the mean leg length discrepancy between the two groups. Conclusion: The clinical, imaging, and postoperative complications of the CAL and DM groups were analyzed. The prognosis for DM appears to be more beneficial for early patient recovery, but a higher likelihood of recurrent dislocation is observed. CAL offers excellent stability for primary THA in high-risk patients; however, attention should be given to preventing aseptic loosening.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: We performed a retrospective study to compare the accuracy of preoperative planning using three-dimensional AI-HIP software and traditional two-dimensional manual templating to predict the size and position of prostheses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of AI-HIP in preoperative planning for primary total hip arthroplasty. METHODS: In total, 316 hips treated from April 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. A typical preoperative planning process for patients was implemented to compare the accuracy of the two preoperative planning methods with respect to prosthetic size and position. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to evaluate the homogeneity between the actual prosthetic size and position and the preoperative planning method. RESULTS: When AI-HIP software and manual templating were used for preoperative planning, the stem agreement was 87.7% and 58.9%, respectively, and the cup agreement was 94.0% and 65.2%, respectively. The results showed that when AI-HIP software was used, an extremely high level of consistency (ICC > 0.95) was achieved for the femoral stem size, cup size, and femoral osteotomy level (ICC = 0.972, 0.962, and 0.961, respectively). CONCLUSION: AI-HIP software showed excellent reliability for predicting the component size and implant position in primary total hip arthroplasty.
