Article Abstract
Background: A long cementless monobloc stem is widely used for aseptic loosening, with satisfactory 5- to-10-year outcomes reported. Nonetheless, related studies on chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are scant. This study evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the stem in 2-stage revisions due to PJI.
Methods: This prospective multicenter cohort study consisted of patients from three medical centers who were enrolled in a single arm from January 2017 to May 2022. All patients were diagnosed with chronic PJI based on the International Consensus Meeting criteria and underwent 2-stage revisions using a long monobloc cementless revision stem. Among 44 patients, 37 (12 women and 25 men) completed an average follow-up of 35.6 months (range, 14 to 75). The primary outcome was the stability of the stem; secondary outcomes included infection eradication, Harris Hip Score, leg length discrepancy, major complications, and isolated pathogens at intraoperative cultures.
Results: At 1 year after revision, the infection-free prosthesis survival rate was 97.3% (95% confidence interval: 96.4 to 98.2). At the last follow-up, the mean subsidence was 2.9 ± 2.1 mm (range, 0.8 to 4.8). Postoperative leg length discrepancy averaged -4.6 ± 4.9 mm (range, -16 to 0). The Engh score averaged 14.1 ± 6.9 (range, zero to 22). The Harris Hip Score improved from a preoperative average of 35.7 ± 8.5 (range, 12 to 50) to 80.4 ± 9.3 (range, 58 to 92) at the 1-year postoperative follow-up (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: The long cementless monobloc stem used in the current study presents a feasible option for 2-stage revision in cases of chronic PJI. The bone ingrowth and stability could be observed within the short follow-up time.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, prospective cohort study.

Collared stems are protective against revision due to early periprosthetic femoral fracture: A cross-sectional study.
J Orthop

INOV8 Healthcare, Houston, TX, USA.
Aims & Objectives: Collared stems have demonstrated acceptable long-term survivorship in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, their impact on early postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) remains unclear. This study compares early PFF rates requiring revision between collared and collarless stems in cementless THA and identifies risk factors.

Background And Purpose: The new Tri-Lock bone -preserving stem with a collarless proximal-coated tapered-wedge design was compared with a classic well-proven collarless proximal-coated long and round-tapered design. Our primary aim was to compare femoral stem fixation (subsidence) of the Tri-Lock stem with the classic Summit stem, and secondarily to compare the change in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and PROMS between stem groups.
Methods: In a patient-blinded randomized controlled trial, 52 patients at mean age 60 (SD 6) received cementless Tri-Lock (n = 26) or Summit (n = 26) femoral stems with a cementless Pinnacle cup, a cross-linked polyethylene liner, and a CoCr head.

Background: We determined the long-term (≥ 20 years) clinical outcomes of metaphyseal-fitting anatomic cementless implants with alumina ceramic-on-ceramic (C-O-C) or alumina ceramic-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene (C-O-HXLPE) bearings.
Methods: Consecutive primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures were performed in 250 patients (500 hips; 140 men, 110 women) aged < 65 years. This is a series of bilateral THA patients who were randomized to receive a C-O-C bearing on one side and a C-O-HXLPE on the contralateral side.

Aims: Extendable endoprostheses are utilized to reconstruct segmental defects following resection of bone sarcomas in skeletally immature children. However, there remains a paucity of data regarding long-term functional and quality of life outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicentre study and reviewed 45 children who underwent cementless minimally invasive extendable endoprosthetic replacement.

Purpose: Humeral head osteonecrosis (HHN) is a joint-destructive condition, for which cementless humeral head resurfacing (CHHR) offers a bone-preserving treatment option. The aim of this study was to report long-term outcomes and implant survival of CHHR in patients with HHN.
Methods: Patients with humeral head osteonecrosis treated with cementless humeral head resurfacing (CHHR) between 2004 and 2007 were included.
