Abstract
Background
The percentage of coverage by host bone required to achieve adequate initial cement cup fixation has not yet been determined. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the relationship between the acetabular bone coverage and the initial cup fixation strength.
Methods
Three different defect models were used as minimum fixation models in this study along with two reconstructed models (a cup center-edge angles −10°, −5°, 0°, the bulk cement model, and the bulk bone model). Five each of models were prepared for testing. A cyclic loading test was performed to assess the initial stability of the cup based on the vertical displacement of the femoral head. All models were subjected to cyclic load testing for one million cycles.
Findings
Under cyclic loading conditions, vertical displacement of the femoral head gradually increased as the cup center-edge angle changed from 0° to −10°, with vertical displacement at the end of the test for each model being greatest at the cup center-edge angle of −10° and least at the cup center-edge angle 0°. A statistical significance was observed in all comparisons among the individual models. (P < 0.05).
Interpretation
This study provides valuable insights into the significance of acetabular host bone coverage on the initial stability of cemented cups. It supports the clinical practice of aiming for host bone coverage with a cup center-edge angle >0° to ensure long-term stability in case of primary total hip arthroplasty cases.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
