RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful treatment for hip osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia. However, the reported rate of complications following THA in the settings of neuromuscular diseases is high. This systematic review aimed to analyze the indications, functional outcomes and surgical failures of primary THA in cerebral palsy (CP) patients. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched, and all clinical studies focusing on THA in patients with CP from inception through March 2020 were included. The methodological quality was assessed with Guo et al.'s quality appraisal checklist for case series and case-control studies, while cohort and prospective studies were evaluated with a modified version of the Downs and Black's quality assessment checklist. RESULTS: The initial search returned 69 studies out of which 15, including 2732 THAs, met the inclusion criteria. The most frequent indication for THA was dislocated painful hip for which previous non-operative treatment had failed. Complications presented in 10 to 45% of cases. The most frequently reported complication was dislocation (1-20%), followed by component loosening (0.74-20%). Aseptic component loosening was the most frequent cause of revision surgery, followed by dislocation and periprosthetic fracture. Mean implant survival at ten years was 84% (range 81-86%). CONCLUSION: The available literature suggests that although THA is a beneficial procedure in CP patients, it has a higher rate of complications and worse implant survival than the general population.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common and successful surgical procedures worldwide. At the same time, it is constantly evolving, and as a consequence, advances in implant technology have led to significant improvements in the different materials of the acetabular and femoral components. The selection of bearing surfaces and their tribology are critical to achieving a successful outcome. Pseudotumors are important, and usually misdiagnosed, complications associated with hard bearing surfaces such as metal-on-metal couples. They belong to a group of reactions called adverse local tissue reaction, which can occur in the vicinity of any THA. We present 2 cases of adverse local tissue reaction associated with the use of ceramic-on-metal bearings surfaces in 2 primary THAs that were treated with modular component exchange during single-stage revision surgery. Level of Evidence: IV.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Compare the clinical and radiological outcome of CFP stem with the MiniHip design in a prospective series, with special interest in intraoperative periprosthetic fracture (IPPF). METHODS: We prospectively followed 101 cases treated with the MiniHip stem (Group 1) and 89 with the CFP stem (Group 2) operated between 2010 and 2014. No significant demographic differences were observed between both groups. Median follow-up was 72 months. Average stem length was 41% shorter in the MiniHip group (p < 0.001). Radiological parameters were measured and a logistcic regression model was created to evaluate factors associated with IPPF. RESULTS: Mean mHHS improved from 54 to 95 in the MiniHip group (p < 0.001) and from 64 to 98 in the CFP group (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in terms of loosening, infection or instability. We observed 7 IPPFs (3.68%), 3 in group 1 and 4 in group 2. After adjusting for confounders, CFP was not associated with a greater risk of IPPF (OR 3.23; 95% CI, 0.250-42.034, p = 0.368), however, a more complex fracture pattern was observed with this stem design. Prior acetabular fractures were associated with IPPF (OR 66.85; 95% CI, 1.142-3911, p = 0.043). Compared to Dorr A femurs, type Dorr B appeared protective against IPPF (OR 0.039; 95% CI, 0.001-1.109, p = 0.058). Valgus alignment tended to increase the risk of IPPF (OR 20.59; 95% CI 0.870-487.221, p = 0.061). CONCLUSIONS: MiniHip showed similar radiological outcomes to CFP at short- to mid-term follow-up without increasing IPPFs with a shorter stem length. Given that CFP produced a more complex IPPF pattern, surgeons should be cautious with alignment of this particular design, especially in Dorr A femur.

INTRODUCTION: Hip revision surgery is associated with a high probability of the necessity for a blood transfusion. Different studies support the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) to decrease the rate of transfusions in primary hip surgery. Nevertheless, the use of this drug in hip revision surgery has not yet been widely accepted. The aim of our study was to establish the rate of blood transfusion with and without TXA in hip revision surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 125 hip revision surgery patients operated on between 2011 and 2014. We divided our series into 2 groups: the TXA group with 61 patients (in which a 1000 mg dose of TXA was used before the skin incision and a second identical dose after skin closure) and a control group with 64 patients. We analysed the red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rates and their odds risk as well as the presence of collateral complications. RESULTS: Average RBC transfusion was 2.7 units/patient (range 0-6) in the control group compared to 1.6 units/patient (range 0-6) in the TXA group. A 90.11% (odds ratio [OR] 0.098; confidence interval [CI] 0.02-0.04; p<0.0029) odds risk reduction for transfusion of at least 1 unit of erythrocyte blood cell was observed in the TXA group. Complications associated with the TXA were similar in both groups. INTERPRETATION: The benefits of TXA have been shown in elective hip replacement. In this study, TXA proved to be safe and efficacious in reducing the need for transfusions following revision total hip arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND: Following a total hip arthroplasty (THA), early hospital re-admission rates of 3-11% are considered as 'acceptable' in terms of medical care cost policies. Surprisingly, the impact of re-admissions on mortality has not been priorly portrayed. Therefore, we sought to determine the mortality rate after 90-day re-admissions following a THA in a series of patients from a captive medical care program. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We prospectively analysed 90-day readmissions of 815 unilateral, elective THA patients operated upon between 2010 and 2014 whose medical care was the one offered by our institution. We stratified our sample into readmitted and non-readmitted cohorts. Through a Cox proportional hazards model, we compared demographic characteristics, clinical comorbidities, surgical outcomes and laboratory values between both groups in order to determine association with early and late mortality. RESULTS: We found 37 (4.53%) re-admissions at a median time of 40.44 days (IQR 17.46-60.69). Factors associated with re-admission were hospital stay (p = 0.00); surgical time (p = 0.01); chronic renal insufficiency (p = 0.03); ASA class 4 (p = 0.00); morbid obesity (p = 0.006); diabetes (p = 0.04) and a high Charlson index (p = 0.00). Overall mortality rate of the series was 3.31% (27/815). Median time to mortality was 455.5 days (IQR 297.58-1170.65). One-third (11/37) of the re-admitted patients died, being sepsis non-related to the THA the most common cause of death. After adjusting for confounders, 90-day re-admissions remained associated with mortality with an adjusted HR of 3.14 (CI95% 1.05-9.36, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Unplanned re-admissions were an independent risk factor for future mortality, increasing three times the risk of mortality.

INTRODUCTION: Core decompression (CD) with or without the addition of autologous bone graft (CDBG) is currently the most widely accepted treatment for hip osteonecrosis in stages of pre-collapse. The use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (CDSC) is emerging as a promising biological alternative. We sought to determine the total hip arthroplasty (THA) conversion rate for patients treated with CD, CDBG or CDSC. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 1996 and 2012, 97 cases were evaluated in 72 patients: 47 CD cases, 34 CDGB cases and 16 CDSC cases. The mean age was 39 (20-63) years, 25 bilateral, 19 female and 53 male, 14 Ficat 1 and 83 Ficat 2. Bilateral cases with asymmetric stage and equal treatment were excluded. RESULTS: Conversion rate to THA was 44% for the CD group (21/47) at an average of 77 (24-324) months; 50% for the CDBG group (17/34) at an average of 34 (24-240) months and 50% for the CDSC group (8/16) at an average of 48 (24-72) months (p = 0.619). Log Rank test for survivorship analysis was not significant (p = 0.2011). Immunodeficiency or corticosteroid treatment history was associated with 16/47 of the CD group, 7/34 in the CDBG group and 1/16 in the CDSC group. Trauma was associated with 2/47 of the CD group, 5/34 of the CDBG group and none of the CDSC group. Hazard ratio considering risk factors was not significant (p = 0.252). CONCLUSIONS: In these series of cases including patients with pre-collapse osteonecrosis, we observed non-significant results regarding rate of conversion to THA with CD, CDBG or CDSC at an average of 5.5 years.

INTRODUCTION: A wide variety of stems have been used for the treatment of osteoarthritis secondary to advanced hip dysplasia. Since evidence for using short stems in dysplastic hips is limited, we planned to analyse the technical problems encountered when reconstructing the proximal femur of patients with osteoarthritis secondary to congenital dysplasia of the hip treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a type 2B short stem. METHODS: We prospectively analysed 17 patients (22 hips) treated with primary THA performed with a single-branded short uncemented stem with metaphyseal fixation (MiniHip™; Corin). We excluded cases in which other type of stems were used, or in which retrospective data was only available. Mean follow-up was 41.22 months (minimum 24). We analysed clinical outcome using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and pain using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiographs were examined in order to determine causes of complications and revision surgery. RESULTS: All patients showed statistically significant improvement when preoperative and postoperative values for mHHS (54.19 vs. 94.57; p = 0.0001) and for pain VAS (8.71 vs. 0.71; p = 0.0003) were compared. No cases of thigh pain, instability or infection were found. 1 case of acetabular cup loosening and 1 case of periprosthetic fracture were diagnosed at 8 months and 45 days, respectively. Overall survival was 84.7% at 5 years (CI 95%, 64.4-105.3) with revision for any reason as an end point. When stem performance was separately evaluated, it showed a survival rate of 100% at 5 years with revision for aseptic loosening as an end point. CONCLUSIONS: THA with a type 2B short stem for the treatment of dysplastic osteoarthritis showed very few technical intraoperative problems, being a useful alternative for femoral reconstruction.

A 90.11% (odds ratio [OR] 0.098; confidence interval [CI] 0.02-0.04; p<0.0029) odds risk reduction for transfusion of at least 1 unit of erythrocyte blood cell was observed in the TXA group. Complications associated with the TXA were similar in both groups. INTERPRETATION: The benefits of TXA have been shown in elective hip replacement. In this study, TXA proved to be safe and efficacious in reducing the need for transfusions following revision total hip arthroplasty.
RESUMEN
In order to access and resect the acetabular rim, arthroscopic acetabuloplasty was described with labral detachment. When the chondrolabral junction remains intact, acetabuloplasty and labral refixation can be performed maintaining an unharmed labrum. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of a group of patients treated with arthroscopic acetabuloplasty without labral detachment. During the study period, we retrospectively analysed 44 patients with pincer-type o combined impingement and an intact chondroblabral junction, with an average follow-up of 32 months (range: 27-38). We excluded patients with isolated CAM-type impingement and previous hip pathology. Radiographs were analysed to define impingement and classify grade of osteoarthritis. Clinical evaluation consisted of pre-operative and post-operative modified Harris hip score (mHHS) and WOMAC as well as post-operative visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain and satisfaction. Reoperations were considered surgical failures for purposes of survival analysis. Mean mHHS changed from 51.06 (SD 4.81) pre-operatively to 84.97 (SD 12.79) post-operatively. Pre-operative WOMAC was 29.18 (SD 8) and post-operative, 13.10 (SD 11). Post-operative VAS was 7.5 and 2.27 for satisfaction and pain, respectively. When comparing patients with Tönnis 0 to those with Tönnis 1, the former showed better results regarding post-operative mHHS (89.9 s versus 77.85, P = 0.03), pain VAS (1.5 versus 6.3, P = 0.03) and satisfaction VAS (8.2 versus 6.3, P = 0.01). Survival was 100% at 24 months and 76% at 40 months (95% CI: 35-98%). Arthroscopic acetabuloplasty without labral detachment achieved good clinical outcomes. Slight degenerative changes on radiographs correlated with poorer clinical outcomes.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Delta ceramics may be the bearing of choice for younger and active patients due to its improved toughness and wear characteristics, provided there is no risk of fracture. However, ceramic fracture is the most serious complication related to this type of bearing. Although millions of Delta ceramics have been implanted worldwide, short to midterm results have been scarcely reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to report the complication rate at short to midterm follow-up associated with the bearing surface used in a series of primary total hip arthroplasties with Delta ceramic-on-ceramic bearings performed in a single institution. METHODS: A total of 939 cases (880 patients) undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty with fourth-generation Delta ceramic-on-ceramic bearings were retrospectively reviewed. They were followed for an average of 5.3 years (2-10 years). RESULTS: One hip experienced a liner fracture, 2 cups presented early loosening due to friction between the acetabular screw and the backside of the liner, one femoral ball head had a fracture; one case of squeaking was reported, which is impending revision. Considering revision or impending revision in relationship with the bearing surface as the end point, the mean survival rate was 99.3% (confidence interval 95%, 98.3%-99.7%) at 2-10 years. CONCLUSION: This study showed a low rate of ceramic fracture compared with others; however, it was much higher than the complication rate presented by the manufacturers. The complications observed were directly related to technical errors that surgeons should avoid when using this type of surface.

Incapacitating articular sequelae in the hip joint have been described for patients with late effects of poliomyelitis. In these patients, total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been associated with a substantial rate of dislocation. This study was conducted to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of unconstrained THA in this specific group of patients. The study included 6 patients with ipsilateral polio who underwent primary THA between 1985 and 2006. Patients with polio who underwent THA on the nonparalytic limb were excluded. Mean follow-up was 119.5 months (minimum, 84 months). Clinical outcomes were evaluated with the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Radiographs were examined to identify the cause of complications and determine the need for revision surgery. All patients showed significantly better functional results when preoperative and postoperative mHHS (67.58 vs 87.33, respectively; P=.002) and VAS pain score (7.66 vs 2, respectively; P=.0003) were compared. Although 2 cases of instability were diagnosed, only 1 patient needed acetabular revision as a result of component malpositioning. None of the patients had component loosening, osteolysis, or infection. Unconstrained THA in the affected limb of patients with poliomyelitis showed favorable long-term clinical results, with improved function and pain relief. Nevertheless, instability may be a more frequent complication in this group of patients compared with the general population. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(2):e255-e261.].

BACKGROUND: Hip arthroscopy treatment in patients with osteoarthritis is controversial. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: To systematically review the clinical outcome of patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) treated with arthroscopy and what proportion of these patients subsequently underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA). STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane library and LILACS were searched from January 1990 through December 2013 for eligible studies. The methodological quality of the collected data (applied to each study) was performed with a modified version of the Coleman methodology score (mCMS). RESULTS: 11 studies were included in this review. Most of the studies included reported clinical improvements. The overall conversion rate to THA ranged from 9.5% to 50%. Mean time between arthroscopy and THA was 13.5 months. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of studies is low. We have found inconclusive evidence to make categorical indications for hip arthroscopy in the treatment of OA, although we have found that there is some postoperative clinical outcome improvement of pain and function in a short-term evaluation. Increasingly worse outcomes were seen as the severity of OA increased.

The incidence of clinical fat embolism syndrome (FES) is low (<1%) whilst fat embolism (FE) of marrow fat appears to occur more often (Mellor and Soni (2001)). Paradoxical brain FE may occur in patients undergoing hip orthopedic surgery who have an undocumented patent foramen ovale (PFO). We report a case of an eighty-year-old male patient, who underwent a scheduled revision hip surgery suffering a paradoxical cerebral FE.
RESUMEN
Introducción: El objetivo del presente trabajo es reportar los resultados clínicos y radiológicos iniciales de una serie consecutiva de pacientes selectos tratados en nuestra institución con un único diseño de artroplastia de superficie, comparando además la tasa de revisión temprana con un grupo control de pacientes tratados en el mismo lapso con una artroplastia total de cadera no cementada. Materiales y Métodos: Cuarenta y siete pacientes de sexo masculino (49 caderas) con diagnóstico de artrosis de cadera que fueron tratados quirúrgicamente con una artroplastia híbrida de superficie, entre noviembre de 2006 y julio de 2009. La edad promedio fue de 44,5 años (rango de 21 a 57). En todos los casos, la indicación de la artroplastia de superficie se realizó en pacientes jóvenes con alta expectativa funcional y siguiendo estrictos criterios de selección radiológicos. Se efectuó un seguimiento clínico y un meticuloso análisis radiológico. Resultados: La escala funcional posoperatoria de Merle DAubigné-Postel fue, en promedio, de 17,3 puntos a los 43 meses de seguimiento promedio (rango 24-62 meses). El 85% de los pacientes refirió que practicaba alguna actividad deportiva con una escala UCLA promedio de 9,5 (rango 8-10). Un paciente requirió una cirugía de revisión (2,04%) por fractura de cuello femoral. No existieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a la tasa de revisión temprana comparando con el grupo control (p = 0,55). Conclusiones: En nuestra experiencia inicial con artroplastia de superficie, obtuvimos resultados a corto plazo favorables, en una serie de hombres con artrosis y alta demanda funcional, estrictamente seleccionados.(AU)
Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the initial clinical and radiological results of a consecutive series of selected patients treated in our institution with the same design of resurfacing total hip arthroplasty. We also compared the rate of initial revision surgery with a similar age group who underwent a non-cemented total hip arthroplasty with hard bearings. Methods: Between November 2006 and July 2009, 49 Durom hip resurfacing were performed at our institution in 47 consecutive patients (2 staged bilateral). All patients were men with osteoarthritis; median age 44.5 years old (range 21 to 55). The resurfacing procedure was indicated in young or very active patients with high sports expectation after surgery and following the Schmalzried radiological selection criteria. We performed a clinical and a meticulous digital radiographic analysis in all patients. Results: Postoperative Merle DAubigné-Postel score averaged 17.3 points at 43 months of follow-up (range 24 to 62 months). 85% of the patients performed sports activities with an averaged UCLA test 9.5 (range 8-10). One patient (2.04%) underwent a revision femoral component at 15 months of follow-up due to late, non-traumatic femoral neck fracture. The rate of revision in both groups was similar (p = 0.55). Conclusions: Favorable initial clinical and radiological results can be achieved with the use of hip resurfacing system in properly selected young active patients.(AU)
RESUMEN
Squeaking is one of the main concerns related to the use of ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty. Although it has received much recent publicity, most of the previous reports on this complication have been related to the use of the second generation of alumina ceramics combined with a cup having an elevated metal rim to protect the ceramic liner from neck impingement. We report a patient with a third-generation Biolox Delta (CeramTec AG, Plochingen, Germany) ceramic-on-ceramic uncemented total hip arthroplasty without an elevated metal rim in the cup who presented with a squeaking hip at 23 months postoperative. Although this complication was mainly related to a specific design in the literature, this case demonstrates that newer generation of ceramics can also present squeaking.
