Objective Currently, there is a lack of evidence on the medium-term follow-up of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) using metal on highly cross-linked polyethylene (MoP), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC), and metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings. Our aim was to calculate the 5- to 10-year wear rate and the incidence rate of osteolysis for 3 types of bearings. Methods A total of 77 patients underwent MoP, 105 underwent ceramic CoC, and 55 underwent MoM THAs. The average patient age at the time of surgery was 64.7, 55.9, and 59.9 years old in the MoP, CoC, and MoM bearings, respectively. Clinical and radiologic measurements at a mean follow-up of 7.6 years were analyzed. Results The mean postoperative Harris hip scores showed no difference among the groups. The mean annual liner wear rates were 0.0160, 0.0040 and 0.0054 mm/year in MoP, CoC bearings, and MoM bearings, with that of CoC bearings being significantly lower than the others. Osteolysis (14.5%) among MoM bearings was significantly more frequently observed compared with the others. Kaplan-Meier survival at 10 years with implant loosening, or revision THA as the endpoint, was 96.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 88.4-98.7) for MoP, 98.6% (95% CI: 90.3-98.6) for CoC bearing, and 98.2% (95% CI: 88.0-99.7) for MoM bearings ( p = 0.360). Conclusion Excellent clinical and radiological outcomes were obtained for MoP and CoC bearings.

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence about the risk factors associated with the malseating of the acetabular liner after ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, we performed a complementary retrospective case-control study to determine the factors predicting the malseating of the acetabular liner after CoC THA and to evaluate the relationship between malseating and (1) osteoarthritis, (2) particularly in terms of the new radiographic parameter "bone sclerotic length" of the acetabular bone. HYPOTHESIS: Osteoarthritis, particularly bone sclerotic length, was an independent risk factor for malseating of ceramic liners. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In total, 219 CoC THAs (174 women and 45 men) were evaluated to determine the risk factors influencing the malseating of the acetabular ceramic liner. An average patient age at the time of surgery was 55.9±9.5 years (range, 23 to 75 years). Data on patient background and preoperative radiographs, such as Tönnis grades; Crowe classification; and indices of acetabular osteoarthritis change; including bone cyst, osteophyte and bone sclerosis, were assessed. The bone sclerotic length in patients with osteoarthritis was measured as the slant distance between the bilateral edges of the sclerosis lesion of the acetabulum on the anteroposterior view. RESULTS: Preoperative less hip flexion (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.97-0.99), osteoarthritis (HR: 3.15; 95% CI: 1.02-9.70) and the bone sclerotic length (HR: 1.83; 95% CI: 1.35-2.48) were independent risk factors determining the malseating of ceramic liners. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that a bone sclerotic length of 24.6mm was defined as the cut-off point for the malseating of the ceramic liner. DISCUSSION: Age, preoperative less flextion, osteoarthritis, and the bone sclerotic were independent risk factors determining malseating of ceramic liners. The acetabular shell can also deform upon insertion of the cup with sclerotic bone of the acetabulum and prevent correct seating of liners. Therefore, these factors must be taken into consideration when seating the ceramic liner. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Case control study III, case control retrospective design.

BACKGROUND: Acetabular wall defects after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) lead to technical difficulties when performing subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA). There is no unified consensus regarding the solution for THA socket installation after PAO. In the current study, we performed computed tomography (CT)-based simulation of socket installation and evaluated the acetabular defect following THA after PAO and after primary osteoarthritis (OA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study group comprised 55 patients (56 hips) who underwent THA after PAO. For the control group, after matching for age, sex, and Crowe classification, we included 55 patients (56 hips) who underwent primary THA for hip dysplasia. We evaluated the anterior, posterior, and superior acetabular sector angle (ASA) and medial wall thickness (MWT) at the anatomical hip center (at the 20-mm vertical hip level from teardrop) in the study group (anatomical PAO group) and control group (primary OA group). In addition, we investigated the changes in the socket covering when the socket was positioned 10 mm above the anatomical hip center (30 mm above the teardrop; elevated osteotomy group). RESULTS: All ASA and MWT values were significantly smaller in the anatomical PAO group than in the primary OA group. In particular, the individuals with a Crowe classification of II/III in the anatomical PAO group presented severe acetabular defects. However, the elevated PAO group had a significantly larger ASA compared to the anatomical PAO group, with improved socket coverings. CONCLUSION: Acetabular defects in the anatomical hip center following THA after PAO were significantly common compared to those after primary THA. Elevation of hip joint centers as much as 10 mm is one therapeutic option in the case of severe acetabular defects following THA after PAO.

Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway promotes the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). We previously reported that R-spondin 2 (Rspo2), an activator of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, facilitates differentiation of proliferating chondrocytes into hypertrophic chondrocytes by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling in endochondral ossification. However, the role of Rspo2 in OA remains elusive. Here, we showed that the amounts of Rspo2 protein in synovial fluid were increased in OA patients. We searched for a preapproved drug that suppresses Rspo2-induced Wnt/β-catenin signaling in chondrogenic cells and reduces joint pathology in a rat model of OA. In Rspo2-treated ATDC5 cells, mianserin, a tetracyclic antidepressant, inhibited Wnt/β-catenin signaling, increased proteoglycan production, and upregulated chondrogenic marker genes. Mianserin suppressed Rspo2-induced accumulation of β-catenin and phosphorylation of Lrp6. We identified that mianserin blocked binding of Rspo2 to its receptor Lgr5. We also observed that intraarticular administration of mianserin suppressed β-catenin accumulation and prevented OA progression in a rat model of OA. We conclude that mianserin suppresses abnormally activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling in OA by inhibiting binding of Rspo2 to Lgr5.

Surgical intervention for the treatment of acetabular fracture non-union is often challenging. Here, we present a case of acetabular fracture non-union with pelvic discontinuity in a patient who underwent cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) after intra- and extra-articular plate fixation. The case was a 70-year-old male with left T-shaped acetabular fracture non-union neglected for 5 months after the injury. The anterior and posterior columns were not healed, and the articular surface was displaced toward the medial side with a protrusion of the collapsed femoral head. As the first surgical intervention, we performed intra- and extra-articular plate fixation after femoral head decapitation. We fixed non-union regions from the inferior acetabular margin to the anterior column using a pelvic reconstruction plate bent three-dimensionally at the acetabular curvature on the intra-articular side. Furthermore, we fixed that of the posterior column on the outside of the acetabulum using a bent pelvic reconstruction plate. Union of the anterior and posterior columns was observed at 4 and 6 months after the first surgical intervention. At 7 months, we performed a cemented THA without additional bone grafting. At 1-year follow-up, the patient did not have left coxalgia and could walk without any gait supports. Based on our experience, we propose this surgical protocol as a useful treatment option for cases of acetabular fracture non-union.

INTRODUCTION:: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic results of 28-mm ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) to those of 32-mm CoC during a 5- to 15-year follow-up period. METHODS:: 107 joints (95 women and 6 men) underwent 28-mm CoC, and 60 (49 women and 7 men) underwent 32-mm CoC. The average patient age at the time of surgery was 56.1 and 55.7 years in the 28-mm and 32-mm CoC groups, respectively. Clinical and radiologic measurements of all patients were analysed. RESULTS:: The mean preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) was similar in the 2 groups (28-mm, 58.9; and 32-mm, 58.5). However, at final follow-up, the mean HHS of the 32-mm CoC (91.8) was significantly better than that of the 28-mm CoC (88.2) ( p = 0.003), as were the ranges of motion (ROM) for flexion (98.3 ± 13.5° vs. 87.3 ± 19.3°, p < 0.001) and abduction (27.8 ± 14.9° vs. 22.1 ± 19.3°, p = 0.007). The mean wear rate was 0.0044 mm/year for the 28-mm CoC and 0.0044 mm/year for the 32-mm CoC. No ceramic fractures were found in the 2 groups. One joint in the 28-mm CoC (0.9%) required revision owing to progressive osteolysis. Kaplan-Meier survival at 10 years, with implant loosening or revision THA as the endpoint, was 98.3% for 28-mm CoC and 100% for 32-mm CoC ( p = 0.465). CONCLUSION:: There was no significant difference in ceramic-related complications between the 2 groups. Our study demonstrated that the 32-mm and 28-mm CoC are safe and are associated with good clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND: To avoid wear-induced osteolysis, ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings have been developed. At present, there are no direct material related clinical comparisons between cementless total hip arthroplasty with CoC and MoM at more than 5-year follow-up. The bearing that is more likely to prevent osteolysis is still controversial. Therefore, we performed a retrospective case control study evaluating CoC and MoM cementless THAs in order to: - compare the longevity and complications for CoC and MoM THAs at 5-10 years postoperatively; - compare the incidence of osteolysis between both type THAs; - evaluate pseudotumors in MoM THAs. HYPOTHESIS: CoC THAs will have a lower rate of osteolysis, better longevity, and better clinical outcomes than MoM THAs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-six hips underwent CoC THAs, and 56 hips underwent MoM THA (Ultamet, Pinnacle, Depuy). Average patient age at the time of surgery was 57.1 years (range, 28 to 77 years). RESULTS: There were no differences with regard to the Harris hip score (89.5 and 90.3 for the CoC and MoM groups, respectively). Osteolysis (9 hips, 14.3%) among MoM THAs were significantly more frequently observed compared to CoC THAs (2 hips, 2.1%). Kaplan-Meier survival at 8 years with implant loosening or revision THA as the endpoint was 98.2% (95% CI: 87.8-99.8) for CoC, and 98.6% (95% CI: 90.2-99.8) for MoM (p=0.684). There was one audible squeaking (1.0%) and no ceramic fracture among CoC THAs. Five (8.9%) hips showed pseudotumors among MoM THAs. DISCUSSION: CoC THAs had a low incidence of osteolysis. No significant difference was seen in the 8-year survival rate between implants, when using implant loosening and revision THA as endpoints. These data indicate that CoC THAs have excellent clinical and radiological outcomes, compared with MoM THAs. Ultamet MoM had a higher rate of osteolysis compared to other MoM bearings; the cup modularity (without polyethylene) and the use of 36mm heads as well as the process of production (after 2006) may play a significant role in the higher rate of osteolysis.

BACKGROUND: Patients with comparable severities of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) may variably progress to osteoarthritis (OA) over time. Although joint congruency may be associated with OA progression in patients with DDH, it has only been assessed subjectively. We assessed the gap between the rotational centers of the acetabulum and femoral head (center gap) as a possible predictive measure of OA progression in patients with DDH. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: In patients with bilateral DDH, we asked: (1) What is the probability of OA progression (Tönnis grade) or symptom development (pain) in the asymptomatic contralateral hip of patients with DDH undergoing unilateral joint-preserving surgery? (2) Is the center gap measurement associated with OA progression or symptom development in these hips? (3) Is the center gap measurement correlated with previous radiographic parameters? METHODS: A total of 297 patients (319 hips) underwent unilateral eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy at our institution between July 1989 and December 1999. We performed no other joint-preserving surgery to treat patients with DDH during this timeframe. The inclusion criteria for the study were patients younger than 55 years of age, the contralateral hip classified as Tönnis Grade 0, no previous surgical interventions, and asymptomatic at the time of eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy (155 patients, 155 hips). The exclusion criteria were a contralateral hip without dysplasia (four patients, four hips), loss to followup before 10 years (42 patients, 42 hips [27%]), or missing medical records or radiographs (21 patients, 21 hips [14%]). The remaining 88 patients (88 hips; 11 males and 77 females) with a mean age of 39 years (range, 17-53 years) and mean followup of 20 years (range, 10-27 years) were analyzed. From the institutional database, radiographic parameters including the center gap in the AP view were assessed using radiographs at the time of eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy, and the Tönnis grade was recorded 1 year postoperatively and annually thereafter retrospectively. We defined migration of the rotational center of the femoral head based on the rotational center of the acetabulum in the horizontal plane as center gap X (mm) and in the vertical plane as center gap Y (mm) and defined the absolute value between the centers as center gap distance (mm). Using κ statistics, intra- and interobserver reliabilities were determined to be 0.896 and 0.857 for center gap X, 0.912 and 0.874 for center gap Y, and 0.912 and 0.901 for the center gap distance, respectively. When patients reported any contralateral ipsilateral hip pain during clinic visits, the hip was considered symptomatic. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analyses were performed with OA progression or symptom development in the nonoperative hip as the endpoint. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk factors for each outcome using the Cox proportional hazards model. Correlation analyses between the center gap and other parameters including lateral center-edge angle, femoral head extrusion index, acetabular depth-to-width index, femoral head lateralization, minimum width of the joint space, head sphericity, and joint congruency were performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: At 20 years postoperatively, the probability of OA progression in the nonoperative hip was 13% (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.1-22.1) and the probability of symptom development was 34% (95% CI, 24.7-46.1). The center gap X measurements in the groups with OA progression (lateral 2.0 ± 2.1 [SD] mm) or symptom development (lateral 0.9 ± 2.4 mm) took a more lateral direction than those in the group without OA progression (medial 0.4 ± 2.1 mm) or symptom development (medial 0.5 ± 2.0 mm) (OA progression, p < 0.001; symptom development, p = 0.005). The center gap Y measurements in the groups with OA progression (distal 2.7 ± 7.1 mm) or symptom development (distal 2.1 ± 6.0 mm) took a more distal direction than those in the group without OA progression (proximal 1.6 ± 6.2 mm) or symptom development (proximal 2.5 ± 6.1 mm) (OA progression, p = 0.027; symptom development, p = 0.001). Independent risk factors for OA progression were the femoral head extrusion index (hazard ratio [HR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22; p = 0.028) and the center gap X (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.07-2.16; p = 0.019), whereas no independent risk factors for symptom development were found. The center gap in the horizontal plane had no correlations with any other radiographic parameter studied. CONCLUSIONS: The center gap in the horizontal plane had a modest association with OA progression in this group of patients with DDH. Future studies are needed to determine the normal value of the center gap for patients without DDH and to assess the center gap in lateral radiographic views. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, prognostic study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) used for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and for osteoarthritis (OA) at a mean ten years follow-up. Methods: Case-control study of 78 patients (86 hips) who underwent THA for ONFH treatment (ONFH group). Patients were matched for age and sex to 78 patients (86 hips) who underwent THA for OA (OA group). We compared the clinical and patient-reported outcomes, implant survival rates, and rates of complications between the groups. Results: There were no between-group differences in the Harris Hip Score and in the following patient-reported outcomes at the last follow-up: Japanese Orthopedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) pain and movement scores and the Physical Component Summary and Role/Social Component Summary scores of Short Form-36 (SF-36). However, the mental score of the JHEQ, the Mental Component Summary score of SF-36, and The Visual Analog Scale score for satisfaction were lower for the ONFH group than for OA group. The rate of complication was equivalent between the groups: 5% for the ONFH group and 3% for the OA group. The ten year implant survival rate was equivalent between the groups, at 97.5% for the ONFH group and 98.2% for the OA group. Conclusion: The functional outcomes, implant survival, and rate of complications for cementless THAs are comparable at a mean follow-up of ten years for ONFH and OA.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

INTRODUCTION: This study investigates differences in femoral head penetration between highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented sockets both with and without radiolucent lines (RLLs) in the early postoperative phase and at 5 years follow-up. METHODS: There were 35 patients (37 hips), mean age of 66.8 years, who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) using highly HXLPE cemented sockets. They were divided into 2 groups based on postoperative the early appearance of RLLs. Femoral head penetrations on both anteroposterior- and Lauenstein-view radiographs were evaluated, and the mean polyethylene (PE) wear rate was calculated based on femoral head penetrations between 2 and 5 years. RESULTS: Femoral head penetrations in the proximal direction were 0.075 mm and 0.150 mm in the RLL and non-RLL groups at 1 year postoperatively ( p = 0.019). At 5 years measured penetration was 0.107 mm and 0.125 mm in the RLL and non-RLL groups, respectively ( p = 0.320). The mean PE wear rates in anteroposterior-view were 0.008 mm/year and 0.003 mm/year in the RLL and non-RLL groups ( p = 0.390) and those in Lauenstein-view were 0.010 mm/year and 0.005 mm/year, respectively ( p = 0.239). CONCLUSIONS: In the RLL group, the PE bedding-in was less compared with those in the non-RLL group. Additionally, the mean PE wear rate in the RLL group tended to be higher than that in the non-RLL group. The distribution of stress loading through the cement may differ according to whether early RLLs appear.

Purposes: The objectives of this study were to investigate patient-reported outcomes and referral pain at the first visit in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and to clarify the influence of collapse of the femoral head and the contralateral condition. Methods: The study included 105 patients (130 hips) with ONFH at the first visit, who were divided into two groups based on the presence of bilateral walking hip pain (bilateral group 25 patients, 50 hips) and unilateral hip pain (unilateral group 80 patients, 80 hips). We compared the Short Form-36 (SF-36), Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), and visual analog scale (VAS) responses for hip, knee, and low back pain between the groups to investigate the influence of the contralateral condition. Regarding the influence of femoral head collapse, we investigated these subjects based on the stage classification in the unilateral group. Results: The physical component summary (PCS) of the SF-36 and all domains of the JHEQ were poorer in the bilateral group than in the unilateral group. In addition, the VAS score for low back pain was significantly poorer in the bilateral group than in the unilateral group. Regarding the collapse of the femoral head, the SF-36 for the PCS and JHEQ for pain had a significant relationship in the ONFH stage. The VAS scores for hip and knee pain had a significant relationship in the ONFH stage. Conclusion: Collapse of the femoral head and the contralateral condition of ONFH strongly affect patients’ activities of daily life.

Background: Few studies have reported risk factors for stress shielding. We sought to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of a proximally hydroxyapatite-coated straight tapered titanium femoral component stem during a minimum 5-year follow-up and identify factors associated with high-degree stress shielding. Methods: A total of 156 total hip arthroplasties (n = 124
98 women and 26 men
mean age, 56.5 years) with a minimum follow-up period of 5 years were included in the study. Clinical and radiologic measurements at follow-up (range, 5-16.3 years
mean, 10.2 years) were analyzed. Results: The mean preoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 56.6, and the mean HHS at the latest follow-up was considerably improved at 86.8. Stress shielding at the latest follow-up was low degree in 136 (87%) hips and high degree in 20 (13%) hips. On average, high-degree stress shielding occurred 9.9 years (5-14 years) after surgery. The results of Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that a canal bone ratio ≥ 0.49 was an independent risk factor for high-degree stress shielding (P =.0075
hazard ratio, 3.981). HHS at the latest follow-up was significantly lower in high-degree stress shielding than in low-degree stress shielding (80.7 and 87.7, respectively
P =.0030). Conclusion: Preoperative canal bone ratio ≥ 0.49 is independently associated with high-degree stress shielding. In addition, the number of cases with high-degree stress shielding significantly increased over time during a mean 10-year follow-up.

Journal of Orthopaedic Science Vol. 23 ( 2 ) page： 346 - 349 2018.3

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Elsevier

Background: There has been constant discussion about whether the clinical outcome of THA after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is equivalent to that after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there have been few reports about patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for those who undergo THA after PAO. We compared the pre- and postoperative PRO of patients who underwent THA after PAO and those who underwent primary THA alone. Methods: We performed a case–control study. Twenty-seven patients (29 hips) underwent THA after PAO (osteotomy group)
their mean age at surgery was 57.2 years, and they underwent postoperative follow-up for a mean period of 3.0 years. For the control group, after matching age, sex, and Crowe classification, we included 54 patients (58 joints) who underwent primary THA for hip dysplasia. Assessment performed preoperatively and at the last follow-up included the Harris hip score, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) for the Physical Component Summary (PCS), Mental Component Summary (MCS), and Role/Social Component Summary (RCS) domains, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) for pain, movement, and mental health, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score of hip pain and satisfaction. Results: The two groups demonstrated no significant difference in the preoperative Harris hip score, each domain of the SF-36, JHEQ, and the VAS score of hip pain and satisfaction. The osteotomy group demonstrated significantly poor Harris hip scores for gait and activity, and JHEQ for movement at the last follow-up. There was no significant difference in each domain of the SF-36 and the VAS score of hip pain and satisfaction at the last follow-up. Conclusion: Previous PAO affects the quality of physical function in patients who undergo subsequent THA.

JOURNAL OF ARTHROPLASTY Vol. 32 ( 12 ) page： 3796 - 3801 2017.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE INC MEDICAL PUBLISHERS

Background: This study aimed at investigating differences in femoral head penetration between highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cemented sockets and uncemented liners during 5 years postoperatively.
Methods: Ninety-six patients (106 hips) with a mean age of 64.4 (range, 35-83) years underwent total hip arthroplasty using a HXLPE cemented socket or liner and were respectively divided into cemented (35 patients [37 hips]) and uncemented (61 patients [69 hips]) groups. Femoral head penetrations were evaluated on both anteroposterior (AP)-view and Lauenstein-view radiographs, and mean polyethylene (PE) wear rates were calculated based on femoral head penetration from 2 to 5 years. Multivariate analyses were performed to assess risk factors for PE wear.
Results: At 5 years postoperatively, the cemented and uncemented groups exhibited proximal direction femoral head penetrations of 0.103 mm and 0.124 mm (P = .226) and anterior direction penetrations of 0.090 mm and 0.151 mm (P = .002), respectively. The corresponding mean PE wear rates were 0.004 mm/y and 0.009 mm/y in the AP-view (P = .286) and 0.005 mm/y and 0.012 mm/y in the Lauenstein-view (P = .168), respectively. Left-side operation and high activity were independent risk factors for PE wear on AP-view.
Conclusion: When HXLPE was used, all mean PE wear rates were very low and those of cemented sockets and uncemented liners were very similar. PE particle theory suggests that the occurrence of osteolysis and related aseptic loosening might consequently decrease. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SCIENCE Vol. 22 ( 6 ) page： 1096 - 1101 2017.11

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV

Introduction: This study clarified individual associations of joint space narrowing (JSN) and radiographic features (RF) of hip osteoarthritis (HOA), i.e., cyst and osteophyte formation and subchondral sclerosis, with quality of life (QOL) in Japanese HOA patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 117 Japanese HOA patients (98 women, 17 men; mean age, 61.2 years). We recorded locations and the size of each RF and measured JSN on the acetabular side (Ace) or femoral head (FH). We evaluated pain with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and assessed QOL with the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36. We compared QOL with/without the RF on the Ace, FH or both and analyzed relationships between each RF and VAS, PCS and MCS with linear regression analysis. We assessed independent associations of each RF with PCS and MCS with multiple regression analysis using various independent variables.
Results: VAS values with the cyst on the Ace only were significantly lower than those with the cyst at both locations. PCS values with the cyst on the Ace only were significantly higher than those for both locations. Independent associations existed for maximum cyst length on the Ace and FH with VAS and for JSN with PCS, but none existed for MCS.
Conclusions: Our study suggested that the location and the size of the cyst formation were associated with both VAS and QOL in Japanese HOA patients. The JSN was independently associated with the PCS. (C) 2017 The Japanese Orthopaedic Association. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

JOURNAL OF ARTHROPLASTY Vol. 32 ( 10 ) page： 3088 - 3092 2017.10

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE INC MEDICAL PUBLISHERS

Background: The objective of the present study was to investigate clinical, quality of life, and radiographic outcomes of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) after transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy (TRO) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Methods: We performed a case-control study. The participants were 29 patients (34 hips) who underwent THA after TRO (TRO group). These patients had a mean age at surgery of 51.6 years (range, 30-72 years) and underwent postoperative follow-up for a mean period of 10.5 years (range, 3-19 years). For the control group (primary group), we included 58 patients (68 hips) who underwent primary THA for ONFH, matching for age and gender.
Results: The Harris Hip Scores at the last follow-up were significantly poorer in the TRO group than in the primary group. Similarly, preoperative and postoperative hip range of motion was significantly poorer in the TRO group than in the primary group. Quality of life (Short Form-36, Oxford Hip Score, and Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire) and complication rates were not significantly different between the groups. The survival rates at 10 years, with revision for any reason as the endpoint, were 81% in the TRO group and 91% in the primary group, showing no significant difference between the groups. The TRO group had a larger average postoperative leg length discrepancy and a higher rate of stem malalignment than the primary group.
Conclusion: The clinical outcomes of THA after TRO for ONFH were poorer than those of primary THA. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
