ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the outcomes of single taper (ST) and dual taper (DT) versions of the same stem design have been scarcely studied. A registry study comparing ST and DT versions of the same stem design was designed, aiming to assess (1) the survival rates and the hazard ratios for failure; (2) the survival rates and the hazard ratios for failure using stem-focused endpoints. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
A regional arthroplasty registry was interrogated about stem designs with ST and DT versions in cementless THAs performed for primary osteoarthritis. Only the same cup and ceramic-on-ceramic bearings were included the DT stems had a titanium-on-titanium modularity. Demographic and implant features were recorded. Survival rates and hazard ratios were evaluated and compared. Stem-focused endpoints were also investigated.RESULTS:
A total of 5359 THAs were included, with three stem designs. The two versions of every stem showed different demographics and implant-related features ST versions were preferentially implanted in heavier young men. For each stem, the two versions had similar survival rates at 5 years (p = 0.076; p = 0.319; p = 0.616) and similar adjusted hazard ratios for failures (p = 0.084; p = 0.308; p = 0.729). When stem-focused endpoints were adopted, the ST and DT versions of the three stems achieved similar survival rates (p = 0.710; p = 0.784; p = 0.983) and similar adjusted hazard ratios (p = 0.647; p = 0.858; p = 0.787). Three neck breakages occurred (0.0007% of all the modular implants).CONCLUSIONS:
ST and DT versions of the same stem design did not show any differences in terms of survival rates and hazard ratios for failures at 5 years. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.Palavras-chave
