Background:
Press-fit implantation of a porous-coated hemispheric acetabular
component without screws is an option for primary total hip replacement.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the results of
this technique after an average duration of follow-up of ten years
to determine if there was any loss of fixation or increase in osteolysis
over time.
Methods:
From June 1988 to November 1990, 132 primary total hip replacements
were performed with a porous-coated socket that was implanted with
use of a press-fit technique. Twenty-two hips were excluded because
the patient had died or had been lost to follow-up, leaving 110
hips (103 patients) available for inclusion in the study after an
average duration of follow-up of 10.2 ± 1.0 years. The
average age of the patients at the time of operation was 60.7 years
(range, 23.7 to 86.2 years). Radiographs were evaluated with regard
to initial gaps, radiolucent lines, migration, polyethylene wear,
and osteolysis. Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was performed
to calculate the rate of survival of the acetabular component.
Results:
One hip (0.9%) had revision of the socket because of aseptic loosening,
and four hips (4%) had revision of a stable socket. With the numbers
available, the presence of gaps on the initial postoperative radiographs
was not associated with the occurrence of radiolucent lines (p =
0.039). Pelvic osteolysis was seen in four hips, with an average
time to radiographic appearance of six years. Increased wear was
directly related to an abduction angle of >40°. The twelve-year
survival rate was 99.1% with revision because of failure of fixation
of the metal shell as the end point, 95.3% with revision for any reason
as the end point, and 79.6% with exchange of the liner as the end
point.
Conclusions:
The fixation of this press-fit socket did not deteriorate over time
and was associated with a low rate of osteolysis. The most common
reasons for reoperation were wear and dissociation of the polyethylene
insert.
