Osteodensitometry in uncemented total hip arthroplasty using computertomography.

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate a new method developed for the measurement of bone mineral density and bone remodelling phenomena after total hip arthroplasty using computer tomography. Computertomography is a radiological technique to examine bone structures in high resolution. Using an extended scale it is possible to investigate bone scans and implants with fewer metal artifacts. For osteodensitometry measurement a special software (IMPact HIP) for the analysis of the data was used. The measured parameters were the overall bone mineral density (mg Calcium-Hydroxyapatite/ml) and the cortical bone structure. A standard scan mode enable to compare the computertomography scans at follow-up. Nineteen total hip arthroplasty patients (20 hips) with a mean age of 58 years (31-70) were operated on using an uncemented titanium alloy stem with a tapered design. The periprosthetic bone was assessed using computertomography-assisted osteodensitometry two weeks and one year after surgery. We observed a decrease of the overall bone mineral density (15%) and of the cortical bone structure (20%) one year after insertion of the stem in the proximal part of the femur. The area corresponds to the Gruen zones 1 and 7. On the other hand, a decrease of mineral density of 5% for the overall bone and of 3% for the cortical bone was found at the level of the tip of the stem, which corresponds to the Gruen zones 3, 4 and 5. Computertomography-assisted osteodensitometry allows to investigate the bone remodelling after total hip arthroplasty by separating the analysis of the overall bone mineral density and of the cortical structure. The present method is a reliable tool for quality-control in total hip arthroplasty.     

Patient-specific guides improve hip arthroplasty surgical accuracy

Abstract

The role of patient-specific (PS) technology in total hip arthroplasty remains relatively unexplored. We asked whether PS guides: (1) Reduced average surgical errors? (2) Reduced outlier error frequencies? (3) Could predict the size of implants used? A single surgeon implanted femurs using either standard or PS guides and was blinded to the pre-operative plans. There were significant differences in median leg length errors between standard (3.3?mm) and PS groups (1.4?mm), U?=?110, z?=?–2.3, p?=?0.02. In contrast to the PS group, the standard group had significantly more outlier errors and frequently undersized implants. PS guides improve hip arthroplasty surgical accuracy.Abbreviations: PS: patient specific; THA: total hip arthroplasty; LLD: leg length discrepancies; HRA: hip resurfacing arthroplasty     

Biomechanical analysis of the Universal 2 implant in total wrist arthroplasty: a finite element study

Little is known about the mechanics of in vivo loading on total wrist prostheses where many studies have looked at the mechanics of other types of arthroplasty such as for the hip and the knee which has contributed to the overall success of these types of procedures. Currently surgeons would prefer to carry out arthrodesis on the wrist rather than consider arthroplasty as clinical data have shown that the outcome of total wrist arthroplasty is poorer than compared to the hip and knee. More research is needed on the loading mechanisms of the implants in order to enhance the design of future generation implants. This study looks at the load transfer characteristics of the Universal 2 implant using a finite element model of a virtually implanted prosthesis during gripping. The results showed that the loading on the implant is higher on the dorsal and ulnar aspect than on the volar and radial aspect of the implant. The whole load is transmitted through the radius and none through the ulna.     

A model-free feature-based bi-planar RSA method for kinematic analysis of total knee arthroplasty

Fluoroscopic imaging is commonly used for assessing relative motions of orthopaedic implants. One limiting factor to in vivo model-based roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis of total knee arthroplasty is the need for 3D models of the implants.The 3D models of the implant components must be reverse-engineered, if not provided by the company, which makes this method impractical for a clinical study involving many types or sizes of implants. This study introduces a novel feature-based methodology that registers the features at the implant-bone or implant-cement interface of the components that have elementary shapes. These features include pegs with hemispherical heads, and straight, circular or curved edges located on flat faces of the box of the femoral component or the stem geometry of the tibial component. Software was developed to allow easy registration of these features through a graphical user interface. The accuracy and precision of registration for multiple flexion angles from 0 to 120 deg was determined with reference to registered poses of the implants through experiments on bone replica models and also on a cadaver specimen implanted with total knee prostheses. When compared to an equivalent bi-planar model-based registration, the results were comparable: The mean accuracy of this feature-based method was 1.45 deg and 1.03 mm (in comparison to 0.95 deg and 1.32 mm for the model-based approach), and the mean precision was 0.57 deg and 0.26 mm (in comparison to 0.42 deg and 0.44 mm for the model-based approach).The methodology and the developed software can easily accommodate different design of implants with various fixation features. This method can facilitate in vivo kinematic analysis of total knee arthroplasty by eliminating the need for 3D models of the implant components.

Surgical navigation for total knee arthroplasty: a perspective

A new generation of surgical tools, known as surgical navigation systems, has been developed to help surgeons install implants more accurately and reproducibly. Navigation systems also record quantitative information such as joint range of motion, laxity, and kinematics intra-operatively. This article reviews the history of surgical navigation for total knee arthroplasty, the biomechanical principles associated with this technology, and the related clinical research studies. We describe how navigation has the potential to address three main challenges for total knee arthroplasty: ensuring excellent and consistent outcomes, treating younger and more physically active patients, and enabling less invasive surgery.     

Study of micromotion in modular acetabular components during gait and subluxation: a finite element investigation

Polyethylene wear after total hip arthroplasty may occur as a result of normal gait and as a result of subluxation and relocation with impact. Relocation of a subluxed hip may impart a moment to the cup creating sliding as well as compression at the cup liner interface. The purpose of the current study is to quantify, by a validated finite element model, the forces generated in a hip arthroplasty as a result of subluxation relocation and compare them to the forces generated during normal gait. The micromotion between the liner and acetabular shell was quantified by computing the sliding track and the deformation at several points of the interface. A finite element analysis of polyethylene liner stress and liner/cup micromotion in total hip arthroplasty was performed under two dynamic profiles. The first profile was a gait loading profile simulating the force vectors developed in the hip arthroplasty during normal gait. The second profile is generated during subluxation and subsequent relocation of the femoral head. The forces generated by subluxation relocation of a total hip arthroplasty can exceed those forces generated during normal gait. The induced micromotion at the cup polyethylene interface as a result of subluxation can exceed micromotion as a result of the normal gait cycle. This may play a significant role in the generation of backsided wear. Minimizing joint subluxation by restoring balance to the hip joint after arthroplasty should be explored as a strategy to minimize backsided wear.     

A new coating method for cemented femur shaft implants--biocompatibility, stability during sterlization and adhesive strength]

The main cause of aseptic loosening of cemented stems in total hip arthroplasty is the hydrolytic degradation of the metal-cement interface. In order to prevent this debonding a new multilayer method of coating the implant surface involving the use of a silica-/silane technique to create a durable adhesive bond between metal stem and bone cement has been developed. The biocompatibility of all the elements of the multilayer system was confirmed using a human osteoblast cell culture test. For sterilization purposes, gamma irradiation with a 25 kGy effective dose proved to be the method of choice. The proven biocompatibility and successful sterilization of the coated implants are the main prerequisites for in-vivo usage. On the technical side, the bonding effectiveness of the multilayer coating system was demonstrated by the tensile test, which revealed a significant improvement in the adhesive strength of the cement-metal bond under prolonged moist conditions similar to those met with in the human body.     

Residual stresses at the stem-cement interface of an idealized cemented hip stem

During the operation of total hip arthroplasty, when the cement polymerizes between the stem implant and the bone, residual stresses are generated in the cement. The purpose of this study was to determine whether including residual stresses at the stem-cement interface of cemented hip implants affected the cement stress distributions due to externally applied loads. An idealized cemented hip implant subjected to bending was numerically investigated for an early post-operative situation. The finite element analysis was three-dimensional and used non-linear contact elements to represent the debonded stem-cement interface. The results showed that the inclusion of the residual stresses at the interface had up to a 4-fold increase in the von Mises cement stresses compared to the case without residual stresses.     

In vivo hip joint loads and pedal forces during ergometer cycling

The rising prevalence of osteoarthritis and an increase in total hip replacements calls for attention to potential therapeutic activities. Cycling is considered as a low impact exercise for the hip joint and hence recommended. However, there are limited data about hip joint loading to support this claim. The aim of this study was to measure synchronously the in vivo hip joint loads and pedal forces during cycling. The in vivo hip joint loads were measured in 5 patients with instrumented hip implants. Data were collected at several combinations of power and cadence, at two saddle heights.Joint loads and pedal forces showed strong linear correlation with power. So the relationship between the external pedal forces and internal joint forces was shown. While cycling at different cadences the minimum joint loads were acquired at 60 RPM. The lower saddle height configuration results in an approximately 15% increase compared to normal saddle height.The results offered new insights into the actual effects of cycling on the hip joint and can serve as useful tools while developing an optimum cycling regimen for individuals with coxarthrosis or following total hip arthroplasty. Due to the relatively low contact forces, cycling at a moderate power level of 90 W at a normal saddle height is suitable for patients.
