Abstract

Background:

There remains concern regarding simultaneous constrained liner (CL) implantation during acetabular component revision in revision total hip arthroplasty due to potential fixation loss at the bone-implant interface. There are scarce long-term data on this technique. This study aimed to determine the survivorship free from aseptic cup loosening (fixation failure) and all-cause re-revision when CLs were implanted concurrently with acetabular cup revision.

Methods:

We retrospectively identified all revision total hip arthroplasties where CLs were implanted simultaneously with acetabular cup revision at our institution between 2001 and 2021. We included 174 revisions with a mean follow-up of 8.7 years (range, 2 to 21.7). The mean age was 70 years, and 60.9% were women. There were 10% that had Paprosky type I bone loss, 68.4% had type IIA-C, and 21.3% had type IIIA-B. The main indications for index acetabular revision were instability (35%), second-stage reimplantation (26.4%), and loosening (17.2%). Only 25% of revisions used modern, highly porous revision shells. There were two-thirds of the CLs manufactured by one implant company and one-third by another. There were 23 (13%) cemented CLs. Screw fixation was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival was determined with revision for cup aseptic loosening and all-cause re-revision as endpoints.

Results:

There were 32 (18.3%) patients who underwent re-revision at a mean of 2.9 years (range, 0.1 to 14.1). The most common reason for re-revision was instability (14). There were three (1.7%) that required re-revision for acetabular component fixation failure. Acetabular component survival free from re-revision due to fixation failure was 98.9% at 5 years and 98.1% at 10 years. The all-cause re-revision-free survival was 84.9% at 5 years and 79.9% at 10 years.

Conclusions:

Implanting CLs during acetabular component revision with stable fixation is safe with a very low risk of cup fixation failure. There were no cup fixation failures in highly porous shells.

Self-Locking Screw

Self-Locking Screw

A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

Fatigue

Fatigue

Fatigue occurs when materials rupture under repeated or fluctuating loads, even at stress levels far below their static breaking strength. It typically results in brittle failure, even for ductile materials. It is a critical consideration in designing machines and structural components subjected to repetitive or varying loads. The nature of these loadings can range from fluctuating loads like unbalanced pump impellers causing vibrations to repeatedly bending a thin steel rod wire back and forth...

Temperature Dependent Deformation

Temperature Dependent Deformation

In a nonhomogeneous rod made up of steel and brass, restrained at both ends and subjected to a temperature change, several steps are involved in calculating the stress and compressive load. Due to the problem's static indeterminacy, one end support is disconnected, allowing the rod to experience the temperature change freely. Next, an unknown force is applied at the free end, triggering deformations in the rod's steel and brass portions. These deformations are then calculated and added together...

Stress Concentrations in Circular Shafts

Stress Concentrations in Circular Shafts

Consider the elastic torsion formula, which applies to a circular shaft with a consistent cross-section. This formula assumes that the shaft's ends are loaded with rigid plates firmly attached. However, in many cases, torques are applied to the shaft through mechanisms like flange couplings or gears, which are connected by keys inserted into keyways. This application method modifies the stress distribution near the point of torque application, causing it to deviate from the distributions...

Bending of Material: Problem Solving

In this lesson, determine the ratio of the maximum bending moments applied to two metal pipes, given that both pipes can withstand a maximum stress of 100 MPa. Both pipes have an outer radius of 1.8 cm. Pipe A has an inner radius of 1.5 cm, and Pipe B has an inner radius of 1 cm. The ratio of the maximum bending moment applied to two metallic pipes, each with a different inner and outer radius, is determined by considering their dimensions. The inner radius of the first pipe is 1.5 cm, and for...

Yield Criteria for Ductile Materials under Plane Stress

Yield Criteria for Ductile Materials under Plane Stress

In designing structural elements and machine parts using ductile materials, it is crucial to ensure that these components withstand applied stresses without yielding. Yielding is initially determined through a tensile test, which evaluates the material's response to uniaxial stress. However, tensile stress is insufficient when components face biaxial or plane stress conditions This condition requires advanced criteria to predict failure.
The Maximum Shearing Stress Criterion, also known as the...
