Abstract

We reviewed the clinical and radiologic results of 47 cementless acetabular revisions performed by a single surgeon. The mean follow-up period was 58 months. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) acetabular defect classification was type I in 4 hips, type II in 9 hips, and type III in 32 hips. All patients received AML (Depuy, Warsaw, IN) Duraloc cup implants. Morcellized allograft was used in 23 hips (49%), and screw augmentation in 22 hips (47%). The Harris Hip score improved from 72 to 90 points. No revisions were performed for aseptic loosening. Nonprogressive thin radiolucent lines were found in a single zone in 10 hips (21%) and in all 3 zones in 5 hips (11%). No migration was found in any cups with radiolucent lines, and the presence of a radiolucent line was considered clinically unimportant. Progressive loosening with migration of the cup was found in 1 hip (2%). Kaplan-Meier survivorship using revision for aseptic loosening or radiologic loosening as end points was 92% at 72 months. No statistically significant difference was found in the survival of the cups fixed with or without screws. These encouraging midterm results confirm the role of cementless acetabular revision.

Sex and age diagnosis by ischium morphometric analysis.

The growth of four variables of the ischium was analysed by polynomial regression in order to evaluate its significance and its capacity for age and sex determination during and after growth. The material used was 327 specimens ranging from birth to 97 years of age from four documented west European collections. The growth curves were calculated for ischium length and three new variables of the acetabular surface (horizontal diameter of ischium acetabular surface, vertical diameter of ischium acetabular surface and ischium acetabular index). All curves, except those of the female series of vertical diameter of ischium acetabular surface and its index, showed a lineal growth corresponding to vertical variables. All variables studied, except the ischium acetabular index, can be used variables for adult sexual discrimination. Furthermore, ischium length and the horizontal and vertical diameters of the acetabular surface can be useful for sub-adult age determination in archaeological samples, as well as in forensic samples. However, the ischium length is the best variable, as it can be applied to all the growth ages.

The acetabular blood supply: implications for periacetabular osteotomies.

As the popularity of juxta-acetabular osteotomies in adults increases, concern arises that such a procedure will potentially cause avascular necrosis of the acetabular fragment. In order to verify the remaining vascularization after a Bernese periacetabular osteotomy, an injection study with colored latex was performed. The vascularity of the outside of the periacetabular bone was studied in 16 hips after injection of colored latex into the abdominal aorta and the inside in four hips. To confirm the conclusions drawn from the anatomic study, a Bernese periacetabular osteotomy was performed in two additional hips after latex injection. This study demonstrated that through a modified Smith-Peterson approach and with execution of the osteotomies from the inside of the pelvis the acetabular fragment remains vascularized by the supra-acetabular and acetabular branches of the superior gluteal artery, the obturator artery and the inferior gluteal artery. Some uncertainty remains about how much correction is tolerated by the smaller blood vessels.
