ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
In the over-80 s, femoral bone is often osteoporotic and unlikely to be conducive to periprosthetic bone rehabitation. This observation often leads to cemented fixation for hemiarthroplasty in femoral neck fracture. Hydroxyapatite is a bioactive coating that has already demonstrated its osteoinductive properties. Our hypothesis is that hydroxyapatite enables prosthetic osseointegration in patients over 80, as well as periprosthetic cortical thickening. The objective was to evaluate the osseointegration of a hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem in femoral neck fractures in the over-80 s, and the evaluation of the periprosthetic bone regeneration permitted by hydroxyapatite.METHODS:
This was a retrospective study. Osseointegration and periprosthetic bone regeneration were assessed on pre-operative, immediate post-operative and last follow-up radiographs with Engh score, O-SS score, cortical index, Canal Bone Ration (CBR) and Canal Fill Ratio (CFR).RESULTS:
One hundred and forty-six patients were included. At last follow-up, 99.3% (n = 145) of stems were osseointegrated. The mean Engh score was 19.9 [SD 3.1]. The mean O-SS score was 19.1 [SD 2.4], corresponding to very good osseointegration. The mean CBR at last follow-up was 0.48 [SD 0.07], corresponding to a non-osteoporotic femur. There was a significant difference with pre-operative CBR (p < 0,001). The pre-operative cortical index and the index at the last follow-up were significantly different for all levels of measurement (p < 0,001). The CFR at last follow-up was also significantly different with the post-operative CFR (p < 0,001).CONCLUSION:
This study shows the value of using a hydroxyapatite-coated stem on senile, osteoporotic bone to improve cortical thickness along the entire length of femoral bone.Palavras-chave
