Title: Dislocation of large-diameter head metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty and hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Author: Miettinen SSA, Mäkinen TJ, Laaksonen I, Mäkelä K, Huhtala H, Kettunen JS, Remes V. Journal: Hip Int; 2019 May; 29(3):253-261. PubMed ID: 30209970. Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Dislocation of large-diameter head (LDH) metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a rare complication. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for dislocation of LDH MoM THAs and HRAs. METHODS: This retrospective analysis considered 4038 cementless LDH MoM THAs and HRAs, 3207 THAs in 2912 patients and 831 HRAs in 757 patients. The end of follow-up was revision due to dislocation. Incidence of dislocation was evaluated from this study population of 4038, and study groups were formed. The study was designed as a case-control study, and a threefold stratified randomised control group was formed. Demographic data were collected and radiological analyses were performed in the study groups. RESULTS: There were 26/3207 (0.8%) early dislocations in the THA group, and 6/831 (0.7%) in the HRA group ( p = 0.9). Most LDH THA dislocations occurred in a group with head size ⩽ 38 mm (18/26) ( p < 0.001). In dislocated hips, there were more dysplastic acetabula and post-traumatic hips than in the control group ( p = 0.036). In the dislocation group, the mean acetabulum component anteversion angle was 19.6° (standard deviation [SD] 13.4°) and in the control group it was 23.2° (SD 10.4°) ( p = 0.006); 7/32 (21.8%) of dislocated THAs needed revision surgery, and mean time to revision from the index surgery was 1.2 (SD 2.6) years. DISCUSSION: Dislocations occurred more often in THAs of head size ⩽ 38 mm and with a smaller anteversion angle of the acetabulum component. Hip dysplasia and post-traumatic osteoarthritis were more common in patients with dislocation.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
