Biomechanical comparison of different locations for a proximal femoral window: A cadaver study
Background
In revision hip arthroplasty, changing a cemented stem is a challenging procedure, as a femoral window is often necessary to achieve total cement removal. The aim of this biomechanical study was to compare the stability of different locations for a proximal femoral window.
Methods
Thirty-six macerated human cadaver femora were assigned to one of the six groups: ventral window with square or rounded corners; lateral window with square or rounded corners; and dorsal window with square or rounded corners. Starting at the middle of the lesser trochanter, a window 1.6 × 10 cm in size was sawed in a distal direction. The biomechanical properties of the femora were measured using a materials testing machine in axial loading at a fixed displacement rate of 20 mm/min.
Findings
The mean failure strength did not differ significantly between the groups (ventral window: square corners 6688 N, rounded corners 5391 N; lateral window: square corners 2889 N, rounded corners 4402 N; dorsal window: square corners 5082 N, rounded corners 3626 N) (P = 0.08). The number of fractures through the window differed significantly between the groups (ventral window: square corners 3, rounded corners 0; lateral window: square corners 5, rounded corners 5; dorsal window: square corners 5, rounded corners 2) (P = 0.01).
Interpretation
Lateral locations of the proximal femoral window were associated with the largest number of fractures through the window, and ventral locations with the smallest number. Surgeons may therefore consider using a ventral window when changing a cemented stem in revision hip arthroplasty.
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.
