Restoration of hip geometry after total hip arthroplasty: retrospective comparison of two short stems and one straight stem

BACKGROUND: The preservation or restoration of hip geometry following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is of importance, considering that alterations in the centrum-collum-diaphysis (CCD)-angle, femoral offset (FO), acetabular offset (AO) and total offset (TO) change hip biomechanics. Therefore, the mos...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: The preservation or restoration of hip geometry following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is of importance, considering that alterations in the centrum-collum-diaphysis (CCD)-angle, femoral offset (FO), acetabular offset (AO) and total offset (TO) change hip biomechanics. Therefore, the most suitable implant should be used. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two short-stem-systems and one straight-stem-system to reconstruct hip geometry. METHODS: Two-hundred-fifty-one patients (mean age: 62.0 ± 10.0 years; 51.8% males) undergoing THA with three different stem types were retrospectively included, after excluding 11 patients with missing radiological follow-up. Pre- and postoperative radiographic images (group I, ANA.NOVA Alpha Schaft Proxy®, ImplanTec, 12 options: n = 99; group II, Optimys® Mathys, 24 options: n = 62; group III: Corail®-System, DePuy-Synthes, 76 options: n = 90) were analyzed. Differences in pre- and postoperative hip geometry (i.e. CCD, FO, AO, TO) were compared between groups with one-way-analysis-of-variance (ANOVA), and post-hoc t-tests. RESULTS: The CCD-angle increased by a mean of 8.4° ± 7.2° from pre-to postoperative, with no significant difference between groups (p = 0.097). Significantly larger increases in FO were observed for groups II (4.1 mm ± 7.8 mm) and III (4.9 ± 7.2 mm), in comparison to group I (1.6 ± 6.9 mm; p = 0.006). AO decreased by a mean of 2.2 ± 4.5 mm, with the largest decrease observed in group III (-3.3 ± 5.3 mm), and the smallest for group I (-1.4 ± 3.6 mm; p = 0.011). There was no significant difference in change of TO between groups (p = 0.177). CONCLUSIONS: Reconstruction of hip geometry using a single-version novel short-stem-system is achievable with comparable results to stem-systems offering multiple options.
