“…This knowledge, however, is highly important due to the increased damage of soft tissue, especially caused by the mobilization of the gluteal muscle group, required to implant cranial straps. Gluteal insufficiency, risk of damage to the gluteal nerves and vessels, as well as other soft tissue-related complications can be experienced [12]. Another important factor is the amount of relative motion between the individual components of a modular construct.…”

The goal of this study is to evaluate the primary stability of a cementless augment-and-modular-cage system with and without the addition of cranial straps in a standardized in vitro setting. As the surrogate parameter for the evaluation of primary stability, the measurement of relative motion between the implant components themselves and the bone will be used. Acetabular revision components with a trabecular titanium augment in combination with a large fourth-generation composite left hemipelvis were assembled. These constructs were divided into two groups with (S) and without cranial straps (nS). A total of 1000 cycles was applied at each of three load levels. Relative movements (RM) between the components were measured. Load levels display a significant effect on the amount of RM at all interfaces except between shell/augment. The group assignment appears to have an effect on RM due to significantly differing means at all interfaces. Between bone/shell RM increased as load increased. NS displayed significantly more RM than S. Between shell/augment RM remained constant as load increased. Between shell/cup S showed more RM than nS while both groups’ RM increased with load. We conclude a significant increase of primary stability between the shell and the bone through the addition of cranial straps. Relative motion between components (shell/cup) increases through the addition of cranial straps. A clinical impact of this finding is uncertain and requires further investigation. Finally, the cementless fixation of the augment against the rim-portion of the shell appears stable and compares favorably to prior investigation of different fixation techniques.

Background: The acetabular components used in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) to treat severe acetabular bone defects have high rates of re-revision at mid to long-term follow-up. Early translation of acetabular components used in revision THA is a good predictor of later loosening, and radiostereometric analysis (RSA) is the most sensitive method to measure migration. The objectives of the present study were to use RSA to compare the migration of the porous tantalum acetabular components used to treat severe bone defects with the previously established acceptable proximal translation threshold of ≤1 mm within 2 years, and to determine the effect on migration of the addition of inferior screws through the component into the ischium or pubis. Methods: RSA was utilized to measure the migration of 55 porous tantalum components used to treat severe acetabular defects (28 Paprosky IIIA, 27 Paprosky IIIB; 21 hips with pelvic discontinuity) at a mean follow-up of 4 years (range, 2 to 12 years). Results: Forty-eight of the 55 components migrated less than the threshold that predicts later loosening (>1 mm) and 50 had not been re-revised at the time of the latest follow-up. Seven components, none of which had inferior screw fixation, exceeded the translation threshold. Of these, 6 were implanted to treat pelvic discontinuity. Of those 6 components, 5 were re-revised for loosening related to patient symptoms. At 2 years, the absolute median proximal translation of components with inferior screw fixation was |0.3| mm (range, |0.1| to |0.9| mm), compared with |0.4| mm (range, |0.03| to |16.4| mm) for those without inferior screws (p = 0.04). Conclusions: As measured with use of RSA, the majority of porous tantalum acetabular components used in a revision THA to treat severe acetabular defects had acceptable early migration. This predicts good long-term survivorship of these components. The use of inferior screws further improved acetabular component fixation. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III.
