Abstract
Background
Consensus is lacking regarding follow-up after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoM-HR). This study examines risk factors for revision and evaluates the need for sequential follow-up.
Patients and methods
288 consecutive patients operated on with a unilateral Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) 2001–2014, having at least one x-ray and one metal ion sampling, were followed until 2022. Hazard ratios (HR) of revision were calculated for sex, age, femoral component head size, implant positioning, serum cobalt (sCo), and serum chrome (sCr) concentrations. The relative risk (RR) of revision if risk factors were present was calculated. Radiologic changes in component positioning were analyzed in 288 patients, and metal ion changes in 147 patients.
Results
The median follow-up was 13 years. Factors associated with revision were sCo and/or sCr >5 μg/l at first follow-up, a post-operative anteversion <5 or >25°, and femoral head component size <50 mm. Patients with one or more risk factors at first follow-up had a RR of 10 (95 % CI 2.5–42) to be revised compared to those without risk factors. A ≥10° change in the stem shaft angle was associated with an increased OR of revision (OR 14, 95 % CI 4.4–43). A change in sCo and/or sCr from ≤5 to >5 μg/l between follow-ups was associated with an increased risk of revision (OR 8.5, 95 % CI 1.3–55).
Conclusions
Patients with risk factors at first follow-up, a change from serum metal ions ≤5 to >5 μg/l, and a ≥10° change in the stem shaft angle at sequential follow-ups warrant continuous follow-up even if asymptomatic.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
