Abstract
Purpose: To determine the rate and risk factors of mechanical complications (MCs) within two years following total hip arthroplasty (THA) through direct anterior approach (DAA) using custom stems, and to compare findings to other surgical approaches in the literature.
Methods: The study included a consecutive series of 479 patients (529 hips) that had undergone primary THA through the DAA using uncemented custom stems between 02/2014 and 04/2017. There were 301 men and 228 women, with a mean age of 55.9 ± 11.6, and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 25.8 ± 4.3 kg/m2. All patients were contacted by phone at a minimum follow-up of two years, and those who reported complications were prescribed radiographic imaging and asked to attend clinical assessment. MCs were defined as periprosthetic fracture, aseptic loosening, dislocations, prosthesis failure, prosthesis malposition, or subsidence.
Results: At two years follow-up, the rate of MCs was 3.2% (17 hips).The MCs comprised four femoral fractures, three aseptic stem loosening, three cup malpositions, three subsidences, two acetabular fractures, one stem malposition, and one dislocation. Ten hips (1.9%) required revision due to MCs. Compared to patients with no MCs, patients with MCs had significantly greater native femoral anteversion (16.7 ± 7.5º vs. 21.1 ± 9.7º, p = 0.042), more Charnley class C (13% vs. 41%, p = 0.008), fewer diameter 36 mm heads (45% vs. 18%, p = 0.044), and performed less intense physical activity (49% vs. 12%, p = 0.006) and sports (66% vs. 35%, p = 0.048). Multivariable analyses suggested that MCs were associated with greater native femoral anteversion (Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.08, p = 0.020) and Charnley class C (OR = 3.47,p = 0.027), but were inversely associated with intense physical activity (OR = 0.19, p = 0.047).
Conclusion: The rate of MCs within 2 years following THA through DAA using custom stems was 3.2% and the rate of revision due to MCs was 1.9%, which is within the range reported in the literature on other surgical approaches for THA. Furthermore, the presence of MCs was associated with greater native femoral anteversion and Charnley class C, but was inversely associated with intense physical activity.
期刊介绍:
International Orthopaedics, the Official Journal of the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) , publishes original papers from all over the world. The articles deal with clinical orthopaedic surgery or basic research directly connected with orthopaedic surgery. International Orthopaedics will also link all the members of SICOT by means of an insert that will be concerned with SICOT matters.
Finally, it is expected that news and information regarding all aspects of orthopaedic surgery, including meetings, panels, instructional courses, etc. will be brought to the attention of the readers.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been approved by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
Reports of animal experiments must state that the "Principles of laboratory animal care" (NIH publication No. 85-23, revised 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.
The editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements.
