Article Abstract
Background: The current rise in elderly patients with compromised bone quality complicates the surgical treatment of acetabular T-type fractures (AO type 62B2 fractures). There is on ongoing discussion about the treatment options, mostly consisting of an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with or without primary or secondary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Yet, these patients are oftentimes unable to fulfil weight-bearing restrictions and mostly present with an unavailability of a stable anchor site. Consequently, this study investigates the feasibility of a cementless hip revision cup for acetabular T-type fractures and compares its biomechanical properties to ORIF.
Hypothesis: The cementless hip revision cup provides sufficient biomechanical stability under the simulation of full weight-bearing.
Patients And Methods: The study compared two groups of human cadaveric hip bones with T-type fractures, of whom 6 subjects were treated with ORIF (6 male; mean age: 62±17years; mean body weight: 75±15) versus 6 subjects treated with a cementless hip revision cup (2 male; 69±12 years; 73±15kg). The group-assignment was controlled for comparable BMD results (mean BMD: ORIF 110±37 mg Ca-Ha/mL versus hip revision cup 134±32 mg Ca-Ha/mL). To compare for biomechanical stability cyclic loading was applied measuring the force and dislocation of the fracture gap at standardized bone loci using an all-electric testing machine and a 3D-ultrasound measuring system.
Results: Comparing superior pubic ramus versus iliac wing (cementless hip revision cup versus ORIF [mean±standard deviation]: 5.8±2.0 versus 7.0±3.2; p=0.032) as well as sacral ala versus iliac wing (4.6±2.2 versus 6.4±3.7; p=0.002), the cementless revision cup achieved a significantly higher stability than the plate osteosynthesis.
Conclusion: Revision cup and ORIF withstood biomechanical loading forces exceeding full weight-bearing in this biomechanical study. The results of our study suggest that the cementless hip revision cup might be promising alternative to the current standard care of ORIF with or without primary THA.
Level Of Evidence: III; case control experimental study.

Background: The impact of the surgical approach on the risk of dislocation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial, particularly when monobloc dual mobility cups (DMCs) are used. This study aimed to compare dislocation and complication rates between the postero-lateral and direct anterior approaches with a DMC in primary elective THA, based on data collected from a single center.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2022, 1,378 consecutive primary THAs were performed using a monobloc DMC.

Background: Acetabular reconstruction is often challenging in revision hip arthroplasty, especially in the face of moderate to severe acetabular bone deficiency. In some severe bone defects, double-metal tantalum cups can improve the contact area between bone and implants, increase the surface area for bone ingrowth, and better restore the anatomical position of the acetabulum. Furthermore, with a good press-fit, the auxiliary screw has a minimal effect on acetabular cup stability.

Purpose: To compare the risk of periprosthetic and medical complications following dual mobility cup total hip arthroplasty (DMC-THA) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for femoral neck fractures in patients with neurological disorders.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included patients with neurological disorders who underwent DMC-THA (n=1,153) or BHA (n=4,612) between 2016 and 2022, identified from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. Propensity score matching was performed at a 1:4 ratio to adjust for baseline characteristics.

Instability following total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a challenging complication. Dual-mobility (DM) hip components are aimed at improving joint stability by increasing the head-neck ratio and jump distance. However, data regarding the efficacy of these implants in the trauma setting are scarce.

Cave crickets of the genus (Orthoptera; Rhaphidophoridae) represent a key component of cave ecosystems. In Italy, nine species are currently known, distributed from the northwestern regions to the southernmost Apennines, with occurrences also along various Tyrrhenian coastal areas and islands, including Sardinia. In this study, we focus on the Apennine region, where we sampled 18 populations of spp.
