고관절 시행에서 식립각도는 추후 환자의 운동범위나 힘의 분배조건에 따라 폴리에틸렌 라이너의 마모에도 영향을 미친다. 인공관절요소로부터 마모입자는 골괴사나 다른 생화학적으로 많은 합병증을 일으킨다. 이런 점에서 인공고관절에서 마모와 정렬각도를 수술 후 추시를 통해 측정하는 것은 중요하다. 특히 관절면의 마모를 측정하는 것은 그 량이 크지 않아 상당한 정밀도를 요구한다. 현재 널리 쓰이는 상용 소프트웨어는 재현성과 측정방법의 표준화가 되어 있지 않아 사용에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반 병원의 방사선촬영 환경에서 CAD만 추가로 구비하면 행할 수 있는 인공관절면 마모와 식립각 측정법을 제시한다. 인공관절만의 X-ray영상을 이용한 본 방법의 정확도와 정밀도 평가를 수행하였다. 또한 실제 인공고관절환자의 X-ray영상을 가지고 2년추시에 따른 마모와 식립각을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 CAD를 이용한 방법은 마모측정에서 정확도 0.06 mm, 정밀도 0.05 mm, 식립각은 $0.27^{\circ}$의 정밀도를 갖는다.

Purpose: The dome technique is a technique used in performance of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) involving intraoperative joining of two porous metal acetabular augments to fill a massive anterosuperior medial acetabular bone defect. While excellent outcomes were achieved using this surgical technique in a series of three cases, short-term results have not been reported. We hypothesized that excellent short-term clinical and patient reported outcomes could be achieved with use of the dome technique. Materials and Methods: A multicenter case series was conducted for evaluation of patients who underwent revision THA using the dome technique for management of Paprosky 3B anterosuperior medial acetabular bone loss from 2013-2019 with a minimum clinical follow-up period of two years. Twelve cases in 12 patients were identified. Baseline demographics, intraoperative variables, surgical outcomes, and patient reported outcomes were acquired. Results: The implant survivorship was 91% with component failure requiring re-revision in only one patient at a mean follow-up period of 36.2 months (range, 24-72 months). Three patients (25.0%) experienced complications, including re-revision for component failure, inter-prosthetic dual-mobility dissociation, and periprosthetic joint infection. Of seven patients who completed the HOOS, JR (hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score, joint replacement) survey, five patients showed improvement. Conclusion: Excellent outcomes can be achieved using the dome technique for management of massive anterosuperior medial acetabular defects in revision THA with survivorship of 91% at a mean follow-up period of three years. Conduct of future studies will be required in order to evaluate mid- to long-term outcomes for this technique.

The experimental comparison between bonded and unbonded types stem-cement interface was carried out on axisymmetric stem-cement-aluminum model of the femoral component of a total hip replacement. Human femur was modeled in non-tapered and tapered($7.5^{\circ}$) aluminum hollow cylinders to emulate the diaphyseal and metaphyseal segments of the femur. For unbonded type, we tested stems with three different taper angles($5^{\circ},\;7.5^{\circ},\;10^{\circ}$). In every case, the cement-aluminum interface was designed to endure 8MPa shear strength. (a measured value at cement-bone interface) We tested aluminum models under axial loading for both cases. As an experimental result, it was found that unbonded stem sustained more axial load as bonded stem in both cases, diaphyseal and metaphyseal models. The unbonded types failed in cement mantle under axial compressive load, while the bonded ones failed in shear at cement-aluminum interface. These results suggest that a polished stem will sustain much higher axial load than a roughened stem. And a polished stem will make more stable cement-bone interface that may promote better osteosythesis around the stem.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a 12-week structured exercise program (12-week-SEP) and evaluate its effects on pain, physical function and quality of life in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: A nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was utilized to examine the effects of the 12-week-SEP on patients' outcomes after THA. A total of 46 adult patients (experimental group=25, control group=21) who had THA were recruited for the study. The 12-week-SEP consisted of education, exercise (muscle strengthening and progressive walking), and feedback. Data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 21.0 using the $x^2$ test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The mean age of the participants was 60.9 years and 25 men (54.5%) and 21 women (45.7%) were included in the study. There were significant intervention effects on pain reduction and increased physical function but no effects on quality of life. Conclusion: The 12-week-SEP provided pain relief and enhanced physical function in patients underwent THA. Clinical application of the 12-week-SEP can improve postoperative nursing practices for patients with THA. Future research with larger sample is of necessity to obtain greater generalizability of the empirical evidences of the 12-week-SEP.

Objective: Currently, rivaroxaban is widely used clinically for thromboprophylaxis after surgery. However, there are concerns on effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban for its proper use. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban in orthopaedic patients after total hip replacement surgery in a large medical centre after the preferred formulary was switched from enoxaparin to rivaroxaban. Methods: The study was conducted on the patients who underwent hip arthroplasty surgery at the department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, South Korea. Electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients treated with rivaroxaban following total hip replacement between February 2011 and March 2012. Evaluation criteria included indications for use, dose, initiation and duration of therapy, drug interactions, adverse reactions, and status of health care reimbursement. The patients who were on enoxaparin were also reviewed as a reference. Results: We identified 57 patients who received rivaroxaban and 50 who received enoxaparin. All patients were prescribed the drugs for Korean Food and Drug Administration-approved indications. No thromboembolic or bleeding events were observed in either group. However, only 5.3% of rivaroxaban- treated patients had an appropriate length of prophylaxis and only 3.5% began rivaroxaban treatment at the recommended time. Surprisingly, 47.4% of rivaroxaban-treated patients received rivaroxaban despite being ineligible for reimbursement benefits. Conclusion: Rivaroxaban was generally well tolerated clinically. However, the duration of treatment, the time of initiation and patient eligibility for reimbursement require improvements, emphasising the need for education which indicates the area of pharmacists' involvement.

In orthopedic surgery and in particular in total hip arthroplasty, the implant fixation is carried out using a surgical cement called polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA). This cement has to insure a good adhesion between implant and bone and a good load distribution to the bone. By its fragile nature, the cement can easily break when it is subjected to a high stress gradient by presenting a craze zone in the vicinity of inclusion. The focus of this study is to analyze the effect of inclusion in some zone of cement in which the loading condition can lead to the crack opening leading to their propagation and consequently the aseptic loosening of the THR. In this study, the fracture behavior of the bone cement including a strange body (bone remain) from which the onset of a crack is supposed. The effect of loading condition, the geometry, the presence of both crack and inclusion on the stress distribution and the fracture behavior of the cement. Results show that the highest stresses are located around the sharp tip of bony inclusion. Most critical cracks are located in the middle of the cement mantle when they are subjected to one leg standing state loading during walking.

Purpose: Histopathologic analysis of femoral head specimens following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a routine practice that represents a significant use of health care resources. However, it occasionally results in discovery of undiagnosed hematopoietic malignancy and other discrepant diagnoses such as avascular necrosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of discordant and discrepant diagnoses discovered from routine histopathological evaluation of femoral heads following THA and perform a cost analysis of this practice. Materials and Methods: A review of patients undergoing primary THA between 2004-2017 was conducted. A comparison of the surgeon's preoperative and postoperative diagnosis, and the histopathologic diagnosis was performed. In cases where the clinical and histopathology differed, a review determined whether this resulted in a change in clinical management. Medicare reimbursement and previously published cost data corrected for inflation were utilized for cost calculations. Results: A review of 2,134 procedures was performed. The pathologic diagnosis matched the postoperative diagnosis in 96.0% of cases. Eighty-three cases (4.0%) had a discrepant diagnosis where treatment was not substantially altered. There was one case of discordant diagnosis where lymphoma was diagnosed and subsequently treated. The cost per discrepant diagnosis was $141,880 and per discordant diagnosis was $1,669 when using 100% Medicare reimbursement and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code combination 88304+88311. Conclusion: Histopathologic analysis of femoral head specimens in THAs showed an association with high costs given the rarity of discordant diagnoses. Routine use of the practice should be at the discretion of individual hospitals with consideration for cost and utility thresholds.

Total hip replacement is a crucial intervention for patients with fractured hips who face challenges in natural recovery. The design of durable prostheses requires a comprehensive understanding of the natural processes occurring in bone. This article focuses on static loading analysis, specifically during stumbling activity, aiming to enhance the longevity of prosthetic implants. Three distinct implants, Charnley, Osteal, and Thompson, were selected for a detailed study to determine the most appropriate model. The results revealed critical insights into the distribution of Von Mises stresses on the components of femoral arthroplasty, including the cement, implant, and cortical bone. Furthermore, the examination of shear stress within the cement emerged as a pivotal aspect for all three implants, playing a crucial role in evaluating the performance and durability of hip prostheses. The conclusions drawn from this study strongly suggest that the Thompson model stands out as the most suitable choice for hip joint implants.

The sealing cement of total hip arthroplasty is the most widely used binder in orthopedic surgery for anchoring implants to their recipient bones. Nevertheless, this latter remains a fragile material with weak mechanical properties. Inside this material cracks initiate from cavities. These cracks propagate under the effect of fatigue and lead to the failure of this binder and consequently the loosening of the prosthesis. In this context, this work consists to predict the position of cracks initiation and their propagations path using the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM). The results show that cracks can only be initiated from a sharp edges of an ellipsoidal cavity which the ratio of the minor axis over the major axis is equal to 0.1. A maximum crack length of 19 ?m found for a cavity situated in the proximal zone position under a static loading. All cracks propagate in same(almost) way regardless of the cavity(site of initiation) position and its inclination in the proximal zone.
