- BACKGROUND: We have developed a bone-conserving commercially pure titanium hip replacement system using osseointegration principles: a metaphyseal loading proximal femoral component affixing into the retained neck and metaphysis only, leaving the femoral canal untouched. The acetabular cup closely fits a dual-geometry cavity, avoiding stress protection at the dome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: After extensive laboratory and clinical pilot trial investigations, the surface-engineered implants were submitted to a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial involving 40 patients (40 hips), in which they were compared to the cemented Spectron femoral component and cementless Trilogy cup as control implant. The following clinical measures were used to monitor progress at regular intervals for the first 2 postoperative years: radiostereometric analysis (RSA), Harris Hip Score, pain score, WOMAC, and SF-36. RESULTS: After 2 years of follow-up, no statistically significant differences were seen between the groups concerning rotation or translation along the cardinal axes. The patients receiving the Gothenburg osseointegrated titanium (GOT) system had significantly higher Harris Hip Score at 6 months, suggesting more rapid recovery. WOMAC, SF-36 and pain analysis were similar for the first 2 postoperative years. INTERPRETATION: Our RSA data suggest that osseointegration was achieved for all patients receiving the GOT hip system. This bone-conserving prosthesis may provide a good alternative, especially for young and active patients.

- The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of complex hip revision using a cemented, collarless and polished femoral stem design (CPT, Zimmer, Warsaw, In.) within a tightly impacted morselized allograft. We have now been using the impaction grafting technique in combination with the CPT stem (Zimmer) for 10 years in complex cases of severe bone loss. In this study we have elected to report only those patients who have been revised at least once before revision using the impaction grafting technique. All the patients in the study group have a minimum follow-up of 5 years after the impaction grafting revision. In total, 43 consecutive hips in 40 patients, 22 men and 18 women, with a follow-up time of between 5 and 7 years are included in the study. The complications related to the revised hip consist of three early dislocations managed by closed reduction. Two patients suffered from periprosthetic fracture, both managed with plate osteosynthesis. Two cementless sockets were revised due to aseptic socket loosening. The Endoklinik rating of preoperative bone loss for the revised hips was 2 in 13 hips, 3 in 23 hips, and 4 in 7 hips. During the first year 29 stems subsided 2-4 mm within the cement mantle. In 8 cases, a subsidence of 5-9 mm was measured. The subsidence was nonprogressive, and no subsidence occurred after the 1st year. The Charnley, D'Aubigne, Postel scoring (maximum 6 points) for pain improved from 2.2 points preoperatively to 4.4 postoperatively, function from 2.3 to 4.3, and movement from 2.3 to 4.1. In conclusion, the concept of impaction grafting in THR revision in our study has so far proven to be successful with good clinical results at 5 years despite the relatively high early subsidence of the femoral component.

- Cemented revision with impaction grafting shows encouraging early clinical results; postoperative biopsy specimens taken from the proximal femur in humans have demonstrated viable trabecular and cortical bone. Human radiographic studies also illustrate density changes within the proximal femur, consistent with remodeling of bone-graft. In an animal experiment, bone incorporation was shown in the proximal femur, but graft lysis was reported around the distal portion of the implant. We report on a patient who sustained a traumatic femoral fracture at the level of the tip of the femoral component 27 months after revision with impaction grafting and a collarless polished taper stem. At the time of open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture, we obtained circumferential biopsy specimens from the fracture site. Three distinct zones could be identified histologically: i) an inner zone consisting of bone-cement, fibrous tissue, and partially necrotic trabeculae with evidence of bone remodeling; ii) a middle zone consisting of viable trabecular bone and probable neocortex formation with fewer particles of bone-cement; and iii) an outer zone with viable cortex. Fibrous tissue was present around some of the incorporating bone-graft fragments, but no continuous fibrous membrane was present. Cement particles were identified, but no polyethylene debris was found by light microscopy. Biopsy specimens from the distal aspect of the prosthesis may not reflect changes seen proximally, but based on the available tissue, this case illustrated histological evidence of bone-graft remodeling after impaction grafting. These results are consistent with our expectations based on radiographic findings and clinical results.
