Abstract
Aims: Contemporary outcomes of total femoral arthroplasties (TFAs) in the non-oncological setting are limited. This study aimed to assess implant survival free from revision and reoperation, clinical outcomes, and radiological results associated with TFAs for non-oncological conditions.
Methods: We identified 24 patients who received TFAs between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2021 through our institutional total joint registry. The patients' mean age was 66 years (48 to 83), mean BMI was 33 kg/m2 (21 to 54), and median follow-up was four years (IQR 2 to 5). Bearings used included eight flat-faced polyethylene bearings, seven dual-mobility constructs, six constrained liners, and three face-changing liners. Of the 24 patients, 17 had a previously documented periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and 12 were treated with chronic antibiotic suppression following their TFAs.
Results: The two-, five-, and ten-year survivals free of any revision were 66%, 51%, and 34%, respectively. There were 12 revisions: five for hip dislocation, four for PJI, one for aseptic tibial loosening, one for prosthetic knee dislocation, and one for acetabular loosening with pelvic discontinuity. The two-, five-, and ten-year survivals free of any reoperation were 53%, 47%, and 34%, respectively. In addition to the stated TFA revisions, one patient required open reduction of a hip dislocation, and two patients required superficial irrigation and debridement procedures for wound complications. Mean Harris Hip Scores improved from a mean score of 48 to 69 (p = 0.002), and Knee Society Scores improved from a mean score of 56 to 71 (p = 0.110). At final follow-up, 20 patients had TFAs in situ, but four patients had been treated with hip disarticulation due to recalcitrant infection. All but one tibial and all non-revised acetabular components were radiologically well-fixed at final follow-up.
Conclusion: The use of TFAs in the non-oncological setting, mostly for salvage of multiply revised hips with previous PJI, had a low five-year survival free from any revision of 51%, mostly for hip dislocation and infection. Nevertheless, clinical outcomes improved in this challenging cohort of patients.
期刊介绍:
We welcome original articles from any part of the world. The papers are assessed by members of the Editorial Board and our international panel of expert reviewers, then either accepted for publication or rejected by the Editor. We receive over 2000 submissions each year and accept about 250 for publication, many after revisions recommended by the reviewers, editors or statistical advisers. A decision usually takes between six and eight weeks. Each paper is assessed by two reviewers with a special interest in the subject covered by the paper, and also by members of the editorial team. Controversial papers will be discussed at a full meeting of the Editorial Board. Publication is between four and six months after acceptance.
