It has even been called the operation of the 20th century.1 Throughout the world large numbers of THA are performed annually. In the UK and the USA together over 500.000 THA procedures are performed every year.2 In the Netherlands, according to the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry (LROI), around 28.000 THA were implanted in 2015.3 Approximately 93% of operations are performed for severe osteoarthritis with intractable pain and functional limitations.4 For those patients not responding to conservative measurements, THA is an effective treatment. The survival outcomes in patients over 65 years can be considered excellent.5-7 Patients regain their mobility and their health status improves as result of a decrease in pain and increase in quality of life4, 8, 9. The improvements made in THA over the years have led to high expectations by patients and strict survival criteria as described for example in the criteria of the National institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) ratings.10, 11 Nowadays the long term survival rate of the prosthesis in older patients is expected to be 95% or more after ten years of follow-up. Due to the success of THA in older patients over the past few years, THA are currently offered to younger patients in increasing numbers. These younger patients can suffer from primary end-stage osteoarthritis, however, end- stage secondary osteoarthritis is a more common diagnosis. In the Netherlands, common causes of end-stage secondary osteoarthritis in patients receiving a THA at an age of under 50 are for example developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), osteonecrosis of the femoral head, rheumatoid arthritis and post-Perthes’ disease.3 Literature shows comparable early results of THA in patients younger than 50 compared to older patients. This is in contrast to the long-term results which still are inferior in young patients.3, 5-7, 12-20 This less successful survival and the fact that many young patients will outlive their primary total hip implant due to their longer life expectancy both contribute to inevitably higher numbers of revision procedures in these younger patients21.Therefore these young patients must be treated with specific attention. We must focus on techniques and materials that can guarantee durable solutions in order to facilitate inevitable future revisions. It is imperative that patients need to be informed on their long-term expected survival, their chances on facing future revisions and the expected outcome of these revisions.22-26 10 CHAPTER 1 Introduction, general background and thesis outline This thesis focuses on THA in this specific category of patients who are younger than 50 years at the moment of their primary THA implantation. It is aimed at investigating 1 the long-term results of the cemented THA, the importance and technique of subsequent revisions in young patients and improving the survival and possibilities to revise by using a biological approach during the primary THA. THE HISTORY OF CEMENTED THA Sir John Charnley introduced the concept of a cemented THA as early as 1959 and used polymethylmethacrylate bone cement to fill the gaps between the implant and bone in order to create stability of the prosthesis.27 This was a few decades after the introduction of the total hip arthroplasty in 1923, when Smith-Petersen performed his first trial of a hip replacement using a glass cup between the femoral head and the acetabulum.28 The concept of cemented fixation in orthopedic implants came from Haoush who used dental cement for prosthetic fixation.29, 30 Unfortunately, the results were not successful. In retrospect, his unsuccessful results were known to be caused by the designs of his used implants. Charnley introduced a new design and replaced the polytetrafluorethylene initially used for the acetabular cup by polyethylene in 1963, because of a high wear rate of the polytetrafluorethylene. This concept is still the base for many new cemented designs that have been developed throughout the last decades. Cementing technique The developments in the technique of cementing have been well described by Breusch and Malchau.31 The first generation cementing techniques already emphasized the importance of pressurizing the cement into the bone in an attempt to create an adequate cement pressure. This was done by means of ‘thumbing’ down the cement from proximal to distal in the femur, the so called ‘finger-packing’ technique. The cement mixing technique consisted of hand mixing the two components in an open bowl. The cement was stuffed into the femoral canal and in the prepared acetabulum by hand. The second generation cementing technique included the use of a distal intramedullary cement restrictor, which allowed for cement containment and better pressurization. The cement gun added the possibility to fill the femoral canal in a retrograde manner, to create higher 11 Cemented total hip arthroplasty and impaction bone grafting in young patients cement pressure distally than proximally. By introducing pressurization a method was 1 found to overcome blood pressure and consequently blood entrapment into the cement- bone interface was prevented which improved the results of cemented THA.32 Bone lavage prior to cementation was introduced after the observation that it aided the cement penetration into the bone. New concepts were pulsatile lavage, stem centralizing devices and vacuum mixing of the cement, which have shown to reduce the long-term revision risk. The procedure that includes all these steps is called the third generation cementing technique (Table I). Figure 1 illustrates some differences between the first and third cementing technique that can be seen on a anteroposterior radiograph of the hip. Long- term result studies reporting on the outcome in younger patients often include the first and second generation cementing techniques.33, 34 This demands for careful evaluation of long-term results when comparing different types of fixation techniques, as the results of the cemented prosthesis have greatly improved with the abovementioned developments.

    Keynote Lecture Series Non-cardiac manifestations of Marfan syndrome Anne H. Child Molecular and Clinical Sciences Research Institute, St George’s University of London, Cranmer Terrace, London, UK Correspondence to: Dr. Anne H. Child, MD, FRCP. Reader in Cardiovascular Genetics, Molecular and Clinical Sciences Research Institute, St George's University of London, Cranmer Terrace, London SW17 0RE, UK. Email: [email protected]. Because of the widespread distribution of fibrillin 1 in the body, Marfan syndrome (MFS) affects virtually every system. The expression of this single dominantly inherited gene is variable within a family, and between families. There is some genotype-phenotype correlation which is helpful in guiding long-term prognosis, and management. In general gene mutations have been reported in clusters, with those having mainly ocular manifestations occurring in exons 1 to 15 of this 65-exon gene; those causing cardiac problems often involving cysteine replacement in a calcium binding EGF-like sequence; the most severe mutations occurring in exons 25–32, causing neonatal MFS diagnosed at birth, and severe enough to cause death frequently before the age of 2. Other correlations will certainly be found in future. This condition is progressive, and the manifestations unfold according to age. For example, if the lens is going to dislocate this usually occurs by age 10; scoliosis usually presents itself between the ages of 8 and 15; height should be monitored carefully between the onset of puberty and cessation of growth approximately age 17 or 18. Holistic care should be offered by one doctor who oversees the patient’s welfare. This should be a paediatrician, paediatric cardiologist, or general practitioner in the case of an affected child.

  • Total Hip Arthroplasty to Treat Acetabular Protrusions Secondary to Rheumatoid Arthritis Ping Zhen1,2, Xusheng Li2, Shenghu Zhou2, Hao Lu2, Hui Chen2 and Jun Liu2*
    Zhen et al. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2018) 13:92 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-018-0809-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Total hip arthroplasty to treat acetabular protrusions secondary to rheumatoid arthritis Ping Zhen1,2, Xusheng Li2, Shenghu Zhou2, Hao Lu2, Hui Chen2 and Jun Liu2* Abstract Background: The treatment of acetabular protrusions during total hip arthroplasty of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is difficult. A lack of bone stock, deficient medial cup support, and medialization of the joint center in those with protrusio acetabuli must be addressed during acetabular reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to assess the short-term clinical results of total hip arthroplasty in patients with severe acetabular protrusions secondary to rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: From January 2011 to November 2014, 18 patients (20 hips) with severe acetabular protrusions secondary to rheumatoid arthritis underwent total hip arthroplasties using a non-cement impaction and auto-bone-grafting method with resection of the femoral head to treat the acetabular protrusion. The Harris hip scoring system was used to evaluate hip function during follow-up; X-rays were taken to assess the extent of prosthesis loosening and bone graft healing. Results: The operation time ranged from 55 to 131 min, averaging 89.5 ± 8.1 min. The blood loss was 165–480 mL (295 ± 10.9 mL). No blood vessel or nerve damage and no acetabular or femoral fracture occurred. The follow-up duration was 4.5 ± 1.7 years. Postoperative X-rays revealed autologous bone graft/acetabular fusion at 4.5 months post-surgery. The Harris hip scores increased significantly, from 55.3 ± 9.5 to 92.2 ± 12.7, after the operation (P <0.01).
