Abstract
Purpose: There is still a debate regarding the removal of the femoral stem due to the risk of trunnion. To answer this question, we conducted a study to compare long terms outcomes of isolated acetabular to total revision of MoM THA using an institutional arthroplasty registry.
Methods: From 1996 to 2019, 150 patients (12.5%) of the 1202 revision THAs (rTHA) recorded in Geneva Arthroplasty Registry (GAR) underwent a revision of a MoM THA. After matching the two groups,126 patients were finally included: 63 in each group. The mean age was 64.4 (SD 11.6) years, 48.4% (61/126) were women with a mean BMI of 27.2 (SD 5.5) Kg/m2.
Results: The overall survival rate was 88.1% [79.9-97.2%] at ten years. 10-year survival rate was 93.5% [86.2-100.0%] after isolated acetabular rTHA and 79.5% [61.7-100.0%] after total rTHA (p = 0.16). Regarding Hip Harris score and Merle d'Aubigne score, no difference at last follow-up was observed between the two groups (respectively: p = 0.39; p = 0.33). Regarding the chrome, cobalt, and nickel level reduction, no difference was observed between the two groups (respectively, p = 0.38, 0.81 and 0.97).
Conclusion: No difference was observed between isolated acetabular and total revision of MoM THAs regarding survival rate and ions levels at long term. It seems advisable to perform an isolated acetabular revision of a MoM THA when it is indicated.
Levels of evidence: Level III, case control studies.
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.
