Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty Through the Direct Anterior Approach: Analysis of a Consecutive Series of 275 Hips With a Minimum Follow-Up of 10 Years.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to document complications, outcomes, and 10-year survivorship of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a direct anterior approach with an uncemented, straight, hydroxyapatite-coated stem and an uncemented cup. METHODS: A retrospective, consecutive series of 275 primary THAs through a direct anterior approach with traction table using Medacta Versafit cup and Quadra-H stem with a minimum of 10-year follow-up was identified. The cumulative 10-year survival of the implants was estimated using Kaplan-Meier estimator. All complications, reoperations, and failures were analyzed. Subjective and clinical outcomes (Subjective Hip Value, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and Harris Hip Score) were measured. RESULTS: Of 256 patients (275 hips, 143 men and 113 women) with a mean age of 63 (range, 24-85) years, 48 (19%) patients (52 hips) deceased not related to the surgery after a mean time 49 months (range, 3-118) postoperatively. At >10-year follow-up, 9 THAs were revised. The overall implant survival rate was 96.8% (95% confidence interval, 94.4-98.7) at 10 years. One cup and 1 stem were revised because of aseptic loosening. At the last follow-up, the median Subjective Hip Value was 90% (range, 20-100), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score reached a median of 0.2 points (range, 0-6.3), and the median Harris Hip Score points was 99 (range, 29-100). CONCLUSION: Primary THA through an anterior minimal invasive approach with the mentioned implants showed low revision rates and good to excellent clinical outcome after at least 10 years.

Prognostic Value of the Selected Polymorphisms in the CD36 Gene in the Domain-Encoding Lipid-Binding Region at a 10-Year Follow-Up for Early-Onset CAD Patients.

The polymorphism of the CD36 gene may have a decisive impact on the formation and progression of atherosclerotic changes. The aim of the study was to confirm the prognostic values of the previously studied polymorphisms in the CD36 gene within a 10-year follow-up period. This is the first published report confirming the long-term observation of patients with CAD. The study group covered 100 early-onset CAD patients. It included 26 women not older than 55 years and 74 men not older than 50 years, tested in a ten-year study as a long-term follow-up after the first cardiovascular episode. There are no notable differences between the CD36 variants and the number of fatalities during observation, fatalities due to cardiological reasons, cases of myocardial infarction within a ten-year observation period, hospitalizations for cardiovascular issues, all cardiovascular occurrences, and the number of months lived. We have shown that the CD36 variants analyzed in this study do not appear to be related to the risk of early CAD occurrence in the Caucasian population in long-term observation.

Ten-year comparison of two different techniques for femoral bone cavity preparation-broaching versus compaction in patients with cementless total hip arthroplasty : a randomized radiostereometric study of 30 total hip arthroplasties in 15 patients operated bilaterally.

AIMS: Femoral bone preparation using compaction technique has been shown to preserve bone and improve implant fixation in animal models. No long-term clinical outcomes are available. There are no significant long-term differences between compaction and broaching techniques for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of migration, clinical, and radiological outcomes. METHODS: A total of 28 patients received one-stage bilateral primary THA with cementless femoral stems (56 hips). They were randomized to compaction on one femur and broaching on the contralateral femur. Overall, 13 patients were lost to the ten-year follow-up leaving 30 hips to be evaluated in terms of stem migration (using radiostereometry), radiological changes, Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and complications. RESULTS: Over a mean follow-up period of 10.6 years, the mean stem subsidence was similar between groups, with a mean of -1.20 mm (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.28 to -0.12) in the broaching group and a mean of -0.73 mm (95% CI -1.65 to 0.20) in the compaction group (p = 0.07). The long-term migration patterns of all stems were similar. The clinical and radiological outcomes were similar between groups. There were two intraoperative fractures in the compaction group that were fixed with cable wire and healed without complications. No stems were revised. CONCLUSION: Similar stem subsidence and radiological and clinical outcomes were identified after the use of compaction and broaching techniques of the femur at long-term follow-up. Only the compaction group had intraoperative periprosthetic femur fractures, but there were no long-term consequences of these. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(12):1035-1042.

Estudio densitométrico de diez años de remodelación femoral tras la implantación de un vástago anatómico / Étude densitométrique de dix ans d'un remodelage fémoral après implantation d'une tige anatomique / A Ten-Year sensitometric study of femoral remodeling after implantation of an anatomical stem

Introducción: la absorciometría dual con rayos X es comúnmente utilizada para cuantificar la remodelación ósea periprotésico, normalmente en seguimientos a corto plazo. Objetivo: determinar los patrones de remodelado producidos por vástago anatómico, mediante la cuantificación de cambios en la densidad mineral ósea en las 7 zonas de Gruen, durante el seguimiento, así como analizar la influencia de otros factores en el remodelado óseo. Métodos: se realizó un estudio prospectivo (10 años de seguimiento) a un grupo de 39 pacientes a los que se implantó una prótesis total de cadera no cementada. Se utilizó la cadera sana contralateral como control. Para cuantificar la remodelación femoral periprotésica se utilizó la absorciometría dual con rayos X en las 7 zonas de Gruen. Las mediciones de masa ósea se realizaron a los 15 días, 1, 3 y 10 años tras la intervención en la cadera no operada y a los 15 días, 1, 3, 5 y 10 años de la operación en la cadera protetizada. Se analizó también la influencia de otros factores en el remodelado óseo (sexo, índice de masa corporal y masa ósea preoperatoria). Resultados: se halló un descenso de la densidad mineral ósea del 7 por ciento en la zona 1 de Gruen y del 24,1 por ciento en la zona 7 de Gruen al final del décimo año. El sexo, el índice de masa corporal y la masa ósea preoperatoria no fueron estadísticamente relevantes en su influencia sobre el remodelado óseo. Conclusión: la remodelación ósea periprotésica depende en su mayor parte del implante, no se halló correlación con sexo, índice de masa corporal o masa ósea preoperatoria(AU)

Introduction: Dual X-ray absorptiometry is commonly used to quantify periprosthetic bone remodeling, usually for short-term follow up. Objective: determine patterns of remodeling caused by anatomical stem, by quantifying changes in bone mineral density in the 7 Gruen zones during follow up and analyze the influence of other factors in bone remodeling. Methods: a prospective study (10 year follow-up) was performed to a group of 39 patients undergoing uncemented total hip prosthesis. The healthy hip was used as control. Dual X-ray absorptiometry in Gruen zones 7 was used to quantify the femoral periprosthetic remodeling. Bone mass measurements were performed at 15 days, 1, 3 and 10 years after surgery on the non-operated hip, and at 15 days, 1, 3, 5 and 10 years of operation in the prosthetic hip. The influence of other factors in bone remodeling (sex, body mass index, and preoperative bone mass) was also analyzed. Results: 7 percent of decrease in bone mineral density was found in Gruen zone 1 and 24.1 percent was found in Gruen zone 7 at the end of the tenth year of follow up. Sex, body mass index and preoperative bone density were not statistically significant in its influence on bone remodeling. Conclusions: periprosthetic bone remodeling depends mainly on the implant. No correlation has been found with sex, body mass index and preoperative preoperative bone density(AU)

Introduction: l'absorptiométrie biphotonique à rayons X est fréquemment utilisée pour évaluer le remodelage osseux péri-prothétique, notamment par des suivis à court terme. Objectif: le but de cette étude est de déterminer les standards du remodelage osseux péri-prothétique produits par une tige anatomique, et d'analyser également l'influence d'autres facteurs sur le remodelage osseux. Méthodes: une étude prospective (suivi de 10 ans) d'un groupe de 39 patients, ayant subi une implantation de prothèse de hanche sans ciment, a été réalisée. Afin d'évaluer le remodelage fémoral périprothétique, on a effectué une absorptiométrie biphotonique à rayons X dans les 7 zones de Gruen. On a mesuré la DMO de la hanche non-opérée aux 15 jours et 1, 3, et 10 ans après la chirurgie, ainsi que la DMO de la hanche opérée aux 15 jours et 1, 3, 5, et 10 ans après la chirurgie. On a également analysé le retentissement d'autres facteurs (sexe, indice de masse corporelle, densité osseuse préopératoire) sur le remodelage osseux. Résultats: à la fin de la dixième année, on a trouvé une perte de la DMO de 7 pourcent dans la zone 1, et de 24.1 pourcent dans la zone 7. Le sexe, l'indice de masse corporelle et la masse osseuse préopératoire n'ont pas statistiquement influé sur le remodelage osseux. Conclusions: le remodelage osseux péri-prothétique dépend notamment de l'implant ; on n'a pas trouvé de corrélation avec le sexe, l'indice de masse corporelle ou la densité osseuse préopératoire(AU)
