Abstract
Aims: The Burch-Schneider Reinforcement Ring (BSRR) was developed to manage significant acetabular defects and prevent protrusion in complex primary and revision total hip arthroplasties. This study evaluates the long-term performance of the BSRR over four decades, focusing on survival, patient-reported outcomes, radiological evidence of loosening, complication rates, and factors associated with implant failure.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 200 hips treated with the BSRR at the Cantonal Hospital of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland, from January 1974 to December 2018. Clinical and radiological data were reviewed, and patients were followed through clinical visits, questionnaires, and registry data. Outcomes were assessed using standardized scoring systems and radiological evaluations. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards modelling were used to identify factors associated with implant failure.
Results: The cumulative survival of the BSRR was 72% (95% CI 50 to 100) at 20 years with any clinical or radiological failure as the endpoint, and 97% (95% CI 95 to 100) at 20 years for revision of the BSRR specifically. Clinical outcomes showed moderate improvements at final-follow-up, with a mean Harris Hip Score of 53.4 (SD 25.3) and a Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score of 72.8 (SD 18.6). Radiologically at final follow-up, the BSRR demonstrated good stability, with 1.5% of cases (n = 2) showing probable loosening and low rates of osteolysis (3% acetabular (n = 4) and 14% femoral (n = 18)). The primary predictor of implant failure was the Paprosky Grade IV acetabular defect, with a hazard ratio of 4.4 (95% CI 1.2 to 15.7).
Conclusion: The BSRR remains an effective solution for acetabular revision surgery, providing consistent long-term outcomes. Its durability makes it a valuable tool in orthopaedic surgery, especially when managing significant bone loss.
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.
