Abstract

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of ceramic on ceramic bearing cementless total hip arthroplasty with a minimum of 10-years follow up. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 44 patients and 51 hips, and the patients were recruited among the patients who underwent ceramic-ceramic type cementless total hip arthroplasty from August 1998 to February 2000 and they were available for 10-years or longer follow up. The gender ratio was 28 males and 16 females, and the mean age at the time of surgery was 49 years (range: 26~77 years). Regarding the causality of disease, osteonecrosis was noted in 36 cases, degenerative arthritis was noted in 4 cases, acetabular dysplasia was noted in 4 cases and septic or tuberculous hip sequelae was noted in 7 cases. The clinical evaluation was performed according to the Harris hip score, and for the radiological evaluation of the femoral component, we assessed the degree of subsidence and the presence of periprosthetic osteolysis, endosteal new bone formation and cortical hypertrophy, and the final fixation state of the implant. In the cases with an acetabular cup osteoscleostic line in the vicinity of the acetabular cup, endosteal new bone formation, acetabular osteolysis and the vertical migration as well as the horizontal migration of the acetubular cup were assessed. Results: Regarding the clinical outcomes, the Harris hip score was improved from an average 59 points to 93 points at the final follow up. For the radiological results, osteolysis was not detected in the acetabular and femoral components, the subsidence of femoral stem was not beyond 2 mm on average and significant subsidence was not detected. In regard to complications, linear fracture during surgery was noted in 6 cases and postoperative hip dislocation was noted in 1 case. A ceramic head fracture occurred in one case and a ceramic liner fracture occurred in 2 cases. Conclusion: This type of articulation is a promising option at a minimum of 10-years follow up of 51 hips that underwent ceramic-ceramic bearing cementless total hip arthroplasty. However, our results demonstrated that surgeons should be aware of the potential risks of ceramic fracture when using ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces. Additional longer-term follow-up is necessary.

목적: 세라믹-세라믹 관절면을 이용한 무시멘트 인공고관절 전치환술 후 10년 이상의 추시 관찰한 임상적, 방사선학적 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1998년 8월부터 2000년 2월까지 세라믹-세라믹 관절면을 이용한 무시멘트 인공 고관절 전치환술을 시행한 환자 중 10년 이상 추시 가능하였던 44명, 51예의 고관절을 대상으로 하였다. 44명의 환자 중 남자 28명, 여자 16명이었으며, 수술시 평균연령은 49세(26~77세)였다. 원인 질환으로는 대퇴 골두 무혈성 괴사 36예, 퇴행성관절염 4예, 고관절 이형성증 4예, 화농성 및 결핵성 고관절 후유증 7예였다. 임상적 평가는 Harris 고관절 점수에 근거하였으며, 방사선학적 평가는 대퇴삽입물의 경우 수직침강의 정도, 삽입물 주위의 골용해, 골내막 신생골의 형성, 피질골 비후의 유무, 삽입물의 최종 고정 상태를 관찰하였다. 비구컵의 경우 비구컵 주위의 경화선, 골내막 신생골 형성, 비구 골용해, 비구컵의 수직, 수평 이동을 관찰하였다. 결과: 임상 결과는 Harris 고관절 점수가 술 전 평균 59점에서 최종 추시 시 93점으로 향상되었다. 비구컵과 대퇴 삽입물 주위의 골 용해 소견은 없었고, 대퇴 스템의 침강은 평균 2 mm 이하로 의미 있는 침강소견을 보이는 경우는 없었다. 합병증으로 수술시 대퇴골 선상골절이 6예, 술 후 재발성 고관절 탈구가 1예, 세라믹 골두 파손이 1예, 라이너 파손이 2예에서 발생하였다. 결론: 세라믹-세라믹 관절면을 이용한 무시멘트 인공 고관절 전치환술을 시행 받은 51예의 10년 이상 추시결과 Harris 고관절 점수의 향상과 전례에서 골용해 소견 관찰되지 않았고 안정적인 골침습적 고정을 보이는 양호한 결과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 세라믹 골두의 파손이 1예, 라이너의 파손이 2예에서 발생하여 향후 보다 많은 예의 장기적인 추시 관찰이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
