Acetabular reconstruction is a necessary condition for improving the survival rate and proper functioning of the implant. The issue of compensation for bone loss remains one of the most difficult and controversial in orthopaedics. The article aimed to analyze approaches to the problem of management of acetabular defects in hip replacement. The paper presents the key features of the anatomy and radiological anatomy of the acetabulum. Modern modifications of acetabular components of an endoprosthesis, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as ways to compensate for acetabular bone loss with bone substitute materials are considered. The review highlights the use of 3Dprinting technologies, the interaction between physicians and other experts in this field. Currently, an active search for materials, alternatives to autogenous bone, as well as ways to facilitate the design and reduce the negative impact of the implant on the patient's bone tissue continues. The use of additive technologies seems to be the most promising direction that allows applying an individual approach to each clinical case, but it is available only in specialized centres and is associated with significant material, technical and legal difficulties. Stable fixation of the acetabular component, according to the literature, is achieved under the condition of restoration of hip rotation centre in the native acetabulum area, restoration of normal anatomical relations in the hip joint and adequate replacement of bone loss.
Hip arthroplasty (THA) is a frequently performed operation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can significantly improve the quality of life of this category of patients. In order to determine the main reasons and peculiarities of revision surgeries in patients with RA, this study was conducted. We analyzed 10 medical charts of the patients with RA who underwent revision surgery in Ekaterinburg Regional Clinical Hospital #1 from 2007 till 2021. We used clinical, radiological and statistical methods. Harris scale was used to assess the function of the hip joint. The leading cause of revision interventions was aseptic instability of component. The result of revisions was considered good in six cases, satisfactory in one case, and unsatisfactory in three cases. The peculiarities of the course and drug therapy of RA explain the leading role of aseptic instability among the causes of revision THA in patients with RA. A significant proportion of satisfactory and unsatisfactory outcomes of revision interventions require both the improvement in endoprosthesis designs and new materials with improved osseointegrative characteristics for bone grafting.
Introduction The investigation of the trabecular bone strength in the acetabular area and its dependence on age and gender may provide a theoretical basis for the development of implants for bone replacement. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanical characteristics of the bone tissue in the supra-acetabular region in patients of different age groups. Materials and methods The cadaveric material of 60 patients was studied and included 20 young patients (age range, 18 to 44), 20 middle-aged patients (age range 45 to 59) and 20 elderly patients (age range, 60 to 74). Fragments of bone tissue 3 × 3 × 1.5 cm in size were removed from the supra-acetabular region using an osteotome. Cylindrical specimens, 6 mm in diameter and 9 mm high, were produced from these fragments using a crown cutter. All samples were subjected to uniaxial compression at a loading rate of 1 mm/ min. Results Comparison of male patients for each of the mechanical parameters did not reveal age differences (p > 0.05). In women of different age groups, the magnitude of elastic deformation was significantly different both by multiple analysis and in pairwise comparison of groups (p < 0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference in the maximum stress and modulus of elasticity in women (p > 0.05). Discussion The data obtained on the mechanical behavior of the trabecular bone and the values of the strength parameters are explained by the spatial arrangement of the fibers of structural proteins, the cross-linking profile of collagen, the degree of matrix mineralization, the structure of hydroxyapatite, and the amount of bound water. Conclusion In male patients, mechanical characteristics of the bone tissue in the supra-acetabular region do not change significantly with age. In women, the value of elastic deformation increases significantly with age. The maximum tensile strength and modulus of elasticity in women of different ages did not show any changes.
Introduction. The most effective method of treatment of patients with severe forms of coxarthrosis is endoprosthetics, the success of which directly depends on the correctness of preoperative planning based on knowledge of the morphology of the acetabulum in normal and pathological conditions. The aim of the investigation was to reveal the morphological features of the acetabulum in osteoarthritis of the hip joint, determining the technology of implant bed preparation for the prosthesis cup. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on 19 macerated pelvic preparations and 72 direct projection pelvic radiographs in 72 patients with stage III osteoarthritis of different etiology aged from 41 to 70 years (61.5 ± 1.4). Hyperplastic coxarthrosis was observed in 21 (29.2%), protrusion in 23 (31.9%), and dysplastic in 28 (38.9%) cases. Clinical, radiological, morphometric, and statistical methods of investigation were used. Methods of descriptive statistics were used. Results. The following data were obtained during morphometric studies: In hyperplastic coxarthrosis, the bottom thickness was 11.9±1.83 mm with an acetabular index (IVI) of 0.51±0.019; in protrusion coxarthrosis, the bottom thickness was significantly reduced and was 5.7 ± 0.93 mm, IVI of 0.66 ± 0.039; in dysplastic coxarthrosis, the bottom thickness was 14.5 ± 1.18 mm, IVI 0.42 ± 0.024 respectively. Discussion. Studies on acetabulum morphometry are being conducted worldwide; among residents of different countries, data on the depth of the acetabulum differ, the morphometric data obtained by us are relevant in terms of the variational anatomy of the population of the Ural region. The morphological features of acetabulum affect the technology of preparing the implant bed for the prosthesis cup, so the preoperative design of implantation is relevant. The proposed method of finding the center of rotation of the deformed acetabulum makes it possible to determine the required thickness of augments to compensate for bone defects in the area of the acetabulum floor and arch. Conclusions. The morphological features of the acetabulum in hyperplastic, dysplastic, and protrusion coxarthrosis determine the technology of implant bed preparation for a prosthetic cup.
