- Background: Regenerex® is a porous titanium construct with a 3D interconnecting pore structure and biomechanical characteristics close to that of normal trabecular bone. This study aimed to compare the Regenerex (VR) to the non-interconnecting pore structure Porous Plasma Spray (VP) on tibial implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 5 years. Methods: We enrolled and randomized 61 patients (mean age = 63(49–71) years, Female/Male = 35/26) who were planned for an uncemented Vanguard TKA (Biomet, Warsaw, Indiana, USA) to receive either a VR or a VP coated tibial component (31/29). We performed radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) postoperatively, and at three, six, 12, 24 and 60 months with measurements of migration. In total 55 patients attended the 5-year follow-up. Results: One patient died and four were reoperated during the 60-months period; none due to aseptic loosening. All reoperations were in the VR-group. The mean (range) 60-months MTPM was 1.4 mm (0.5–3.7) for the VP-group and 1.8 mm (0.4–4.9) for the VR-group (p = 0.8). The 24 to 60-months mean (range) MTPM was −0.3 mm (−5 to 1.24) in the VP-group and 0.2 mm (−0.4 to 3.5) in the VR-group (p = 0.8). Conclusion: We did not find any statistically significant differences between the VP- and VR-group and both groups show recognizable migration. We will continue to follow the groups for years to come.

- Background and purpose — Despite the good results after total hip arthroplasty (THA), new implants are continuously being developed to improve durability. The Echo Bi-Metric (EBM) THA stem is the successor to the Bi-Metric (BM) THA stem. The EBM stem includes many of the features of the BM stem, but minor changes in the design might improve the clinical performance. We compared the migration behavior with radiostereometric analysis (RSA) of the EBM stem and the BM stem at 24 months and evaluated the clinical outcome. Patients and methods — We randomized 62 patients with osteoarthritis (mean age 64 years, female/male 28/34) scheduled for an uncemented THA to receive either an EBM or a BM THA stem. We performed RSA within 1 week after surgery and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. The clinical outcome was evaluated using Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS). Results — At 24 months, we found no statistically significant differences in migration between the two implants. During the first 3 months both the EBM and the BM stems showed visible subsidence (2.5 mm and 2.2 mm respectively), and retroversion (2.5° and 2.2° respectively), but after 3 months this stabilized. The expected increase in HHS and OHS was similar between the groups. Interpretation — The EBM stem showed a migration at 24 months not different from the BM stem, and both stems display satisfying clinical results.
