ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical effect of total hip replacement (THA) in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture.@*METHODS@#From October 2019 to June 2022, 15 patients with secondary traumatic arthritis of acetabulum fracture were treated with THA. There were 8 males and 7 females, aged from 40 to 76 years old with an average of (59.20±9.46) years old. Prosthesis loosening, dislocation of hip joint, range of motion of hip joint, nerve injury and other conditions were recorded before and after surgery. Harris score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and imaging were used to evaluate hip joint function and surgical effect.@*RESULTS@#Follow-up time ranged 6 to 39 months with an average of (18.33±9.27) months. All the 15 patients successfully completed the operation, no nerve and blood vessel injury during the operation, postoperative wound healing was stageⅠ, no infection, one case of acetabular side prosthesis loosening at half a year after operation, and recovered well after revision surgery, one case of hip dislocation was cured after open reduction treatment, no adverse consequences. Harris score at the last postoperative follow-up was (88.60±4.01) points, compared with the preoperative (47.20±11.77) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and VAS at the lateat postoperative follow-up was 1 (1) points, compared with the preoperative 8 (2) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the pain symptoms were relieved or disappeared, and the joint function was satisfactory. The imaging data of the latest follow-up showed joint was well pseudoradiated, no abnormal ossification occurred, and the prosthesis was not loose.@*CONCLUSION@#THA is effective in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture and can effectively improve the quality of life of patients. Preoperative comprehensive evaluation and bone defect evaluation of patients, and intraoperative management of acetabulum, femur, internal fixation and bone defect are key factors for the success of surgery.

ABSTRACT
Objective The application of metal augments in the revision of total hip arthroplasty(THA)has achieved re-markable results in the treatment of bone defects.However,there are limited studies compared this effective method with the traditional treatment.The purpose of this article is to investigate the curative effect of both metal augmentation and impacted bone grafting in the revision of acetabular bone defect. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients(20 hips)with bone defects after THA in Au-thority of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region from August 2010 to February 2017.These 20 patients were allocated into 2 groups:impacted bone grafting group(n=11,filling acetabular bone defect with autogenous iliac bone and artificial bone)and metal aug-mentation group(n=9,filling acetabular bone defect with metal aug-ment).The duration of surgery,blood loss and the hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)were compared between these two groups and the Harris score was applied to evaluate the hip function and full weight bearing. Results The surgery duration and blood loss of impacted bone grafting group were significantly increased when compared with the metal augmentation group(44.5±7.82 min vs 36.22±5.19 min and 431.82±57.76 mL vs 333.33±72.80 mL respec-tively).there were 3 cases showed mild bone resorption in the I regions in the impacted bone grafting group, while only one case showed mild bone resorption in the II region in the metal augmentation group.The HSS scores in the metal augmentation group were higher than those in the impacted bone grafting group at the time of postoperative 2 weeks(43.89±2.76 vs 40.82±4.42), 3 months (49.89±2.03 vs 45.27±3.90)and 6 months(53.44±2.46 vs 50.55±3.67), the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001). The Harris scores in the metal augmentation group were higher than those in the impacted bone grafting group(P<0.01).The metal augmentation group had a shorter time of getting out of bed compared with the impacted bone grafting group(P<0.01). Conclusion For those patients with upper acetabular bone defect,revision surgery using metal augments can save the operation time.Meanwhile, it is also superior to the impacted bone grafting in the early prosthesis stability and bone ingrowth,and thus enables to shorten the time on getting out of bed and promote functional.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report the short-term outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using tantalum augments in patients with severe acetabular bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 15 revision THAs performed in 15 patients using tantalum augments between June 2010 and December 2013. Acetabular bone defects were Paprosky type IIIA in 7 hips, type IIIB in 7, and type IV in 1. The causes of revision surgery were aseptic loosening in 12 hips and deep infection in 3. Revisions were first in 1 hip, second in 3, and third in 11. Six patients were male and 9 female with a mean age of 59 years (range, 48-75 years). Mean follow-up was 29 months (range, 24-48 months). RESULTS: Mean Harris hip score was improved from 34 points (range, 12-54 points) preoperatively to 84 points (range, 38-90 points) at final follow-up. On the final follow-up radiographs, there were 12 hips (80.0%) with stable fixation of the acetabular cup, 2 (13.3%) with secondary stability after mild acetabular protrusion, and 1 (6.7%) with radiolucency around the acetabular cup without mechanical symptoms. Complications included one patient with acute hematogenous infection managed by surgical debridement and long-term antibiotic therapy. There were no cases with nerve palsy or dislocation during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: The present study showed satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes of revision THA using tantalum augments due to severe acetabular bone defects of Paprosky type III or IV at a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

Recently, the incidence of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has increased following primary THA. Bone stock deficiency presents the major challenge in acetabular reconstruction during revision hip arthroplasty. The reasons for such acetabular defects include osteolysis, bone resportion following cup loosening, iatrogenic damage resulting from cup or cement removal during revision THA, and cup migration. The pre-operative assessment of acetabular bone stock, including the amount and location of pelvic osteolysis before revision surgery, is a critical preoperative preparation for the treatment of bone deficiency. In cases with mild acetabular defects, a variety of surgical options are available for treating. However, in cases with severe segmental, cavitary, or combined acetabular defects, controversies have existed so far about the most optimal treatment. Thereby, we tend to introduce the most commonly-adopted classification system of acetabular defects and management options using high hip center cups, oblong cups, structural allografts, morselized allografts with bipolar cups, morselized allografts with cementless cups, morselized allografts with acetabular reinforcement devices, and revisions with trabecular metal augmentations.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the revision total hip arthroplasty using the acetabular reinforcement ring. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six acetabular revisions were performed in 36 patients with use of the reinforcement ring and structural or morselized allograft, between 1997 and 2005, in thirty-six patients. According to the AAOS classification, thirty-four cases of acetabular defects were Ttype III, and two were Ttype IV. Mean follow-up period after surgery was 7.2 years. RESULTS: The mean Harris hip score was 92.3, which was significantly increased compared with the preoperative score. (p<0.001). There were five failures: a case of aseptic loosening of Muller ring, two cases of infection (5.4%) and two cases of hip dislocation (5.4%). Graft incorporation and bone remodeling occurred successfully in all hips, but in the case of aseptic loosening in which the ring fixation had been inadequate at the time of surgery. The success rate was 91.7% with a mean follow-up of 7.2 years, if the cases of revision or loosening of the component were classified into failure cases. CONCLUSION: Patients treated with acetabular revision with three kinds of reinforcement ring had reconstitution of periacetabular bone stock as well as good clinical and radiographic results. For the good results, the secure implant fixation during the surgery should be confirmed and we should completely understand the characters of the each kinds of reinforcement rings.

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the clinical and radiographic results of an acetabular reconstruction with an impacted morselized allograft and wire mesh in revision total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study examined 21 cases of acetabular revisions involving 20 patients with a severe acetabular bone defect managed with an impacted morselized allograft, wire mesh and cemented acetabular cup between February 2000 and June 2003. The mean follow up period was 31.7 months. Clinically, the Harris hip score was evaluated. The radiographic parameters included bony incorporation between the host bone and allograft, the change in cup inclination, acetabular cup migration, radiolucency around the cup and loosening. RESULTS: The mean Harris hip score was improved from a preoperative 54.1 to 91.9 at the last follow up. Radiological incorporation between the host bone and allograft was achieved after an average 11.4 months after surgery. The mean change in cup inclination was 1.9 degrees, and the mean medial and superior migration was 3.93 mm and 4.41 mm respectively. The majority of these radiological changes occurred within 6 months after surgery. One case of Brooker grade I heterotopic ossification and one case of acetabular cup loosening was observed but there was no re-revision or complications, such as infection and dislocation. CONCLUSION: In a severe acetabular bone stock deficiency that cannot be reconstructed with a cementless acetabular cup, an acetabular reconstruction with an impacted morselized allograft, wire mesh and cemented acetabular cup showed good results in this short term follow up study.
