Abstract

Introduction

Aseptic implant loosening caused by wear debris is a common reason for early implant failure after total hip replacement (THR).

Materials and methods

We prospectively studied 96 patients (110 hips), 48 men and 48 women (mean age 46.8 years, mean body mass index 26.1) who had undergone cementless THR (titanium stem, press-fit cup, Al₂O₃ ball, XLPE liner) at a mean of 17.4 months (SD 13.4).

Results

The semi-computerized evaluation of wear rate showed wear of 0.25 mm (SD 0.3) corresponding to a volume of 97.6 mm³ (SD 121.1) during the first year. It was remarkable that the annual rate of wear was significantly lower in the second year: 0.14 mm (SD 0.1), 60.0 mm³ (SD 78.7). The implant survival rate was 100%. However, two patients underwent revision surgery.

Interpretation

Good, early functionality can be achieved by a cementless THR including a modular stem and a XLPE-Al₂O₃ bearing system. The rate of wear debris for XLPE-Al₃O₂ was much higher than expected within the first year after THR. However, after the initial running-in period a significant decrease of wear was documented, suggesting a biphasic abrasion [0.38 mm (SD 0.2) within the first year vs. 0.14 mm (SD 0.1)] after the running-in-period 1 year following surgery.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
