Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results, as well as the survival rate, associated with total hip arthroplasty using a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated anatomical femoral stem at a follow-up of ≥12 years. Materials and Methods: From April 1992 to May 1997, 86 patients (102 hips) underwent total hip arthroplasty with a HA-coated ABG I (Anatomical Benoist Giraud; Howmedica) hip prosthesis. The average age at the time of surgery was 53.4 years and the mean duration of follow-up was 17.1 years (range, 12.1-21.0 years). The Harris hip score (HHS) and radiographic assessments of thigh pain were used to evaluate the clinical results. We observed osteointegration, cortical hypertrophy, reactive line, calcar resorption and osteolysis around the femoral stems. The survival rate of the femoral stems was evaluated by using the span of time to a revision operation for any reasons was defined as the end point. Results: The mean HHS was 50.5 preoperatively and 84.2 at the time of last follow-up. Osteolysis only around the HA-coated proximal portion of the femoral stem was observed in 72 hips, cortical hypertrophy all around the distal portion of the femoral stem was observed in 38 hips, and calcar resorption was observed in 44 hips. A reactive line was observed in 13 hips, but was unrelated to component loosening. Stem revision operations were performed in 24 (23%) hips due to osteolysis (14 hips), fracture (5 hips) and infection (5 hips). The femoral stem survival rate was 75% over the mean duration of follow-up. Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty using a HA-coated anatomical femoral stem showed necessitated a high rate of revision operations due to osteolysis around the femoral stem in this long term follow-up study.

Young-Yool Chung,Sang-Min Lee,Sung-Nyun Baek,Tae-Gyu Park 대한정형외과학회 2022 Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery Vol.14 No.1

Background: The aim of this study was to determine if it was feasible and safe to perform total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the direct anterior approach (DAA) when compared with the conventional posterolateral approach (PA) in patients with femoral neck fractures. The time required to start walking was investigated to identify advantages of the muscle-sparing approach. Safety of the approach was judged based on the incidence and nature of all complications. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 67 THA cases due to femoral neck fractures from October 2015 to January 2019. The PA was used in 31 cases, and the DAA was used in 36 cases. The average operative time and amount of bleeding were evaluated. Cup inclination, anteversion, and leg length discrepancy (LLD) were also measured on radiographs. The time to start walking and complications (e.g., intraoperative fracture, infection, and dislocation) were recorded. Results: The mean operative time was 84.35 ± 13.95 minutes in PA group and 99.22 ± 20.33 minutes in DAA group (p = 0.010). But after experiencing 20 cases using the DAA, there was no statistically significant difference in the operative time between the groups. The mean volume of bleeding was 428.73 ± 207.26 mL in the PA group and 482.47 ± 150.14 mL in the DAA group. There was no difference in the acetabular cup position between two groups. Ambulation was started at 3.94 days after surgery on average in the PA group and 3.14 days in the DAA group, showing a statistically significant difference. Intraoperative fracture and infection were not observed in either group. The incidence of LLD was 1 in each group. The dislocation rate was 3.2% (1 case) in the PA group and 5.5% (2 cases) in the DAA group. Conclusions: Although the DAA for THA was similar to the PA in terms of operative time, volume of bleeding, and complications, the DAA showed a great advantage in early rehabilitation as a muscle-sparing procedure in the elderly with femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: To figure out how complete control of family visits to prevent infection of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affected the activity recovery of hip fracture patients admitted to nursing hospitals. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one patients with hip surgery in the two years prior to COVID-19 pandemic were classified as Group A, and 103 patients in the next two years were designated as Group B. The subjects’ walking ability was evaluated by using the modified Koval index (MKI). In order to analyze the impact of the family visit control to the subjects, each group was classified into two different groups: (1) inpatients group who admitted to nursing hospitals and (2) home-treated patients. Additionally, statistical elements were processed in consideration of other factors that may affect the results of the experiment. Results: The MKI evaluated at 6 months postoperative was 3.31±1.79 in Group A and 2.77±1.91 in Group B, and it was meaningfully low after the pandemic (P=0.04). There was significantly low among both of Group A 2.74±1.76 and Group B 1.93±1.81 after the pandemic (P=0.03) among those treated at the nursing hospital. The rate of deterioration of the MKI was 35 (43.2%) in Group A and 57 (55.3%) in Group B, which increased by 12.1% after the pandemic. Conclusion: The pandemic had a negative effect on the recovery of postoperative activities of elderly hip fracture patients who admitted to nursing hospitals when family access was completely restricted to prevent infection.

Purpose: To determine if it is feasible and safe for a surgeon to transition from using the posterolateral approach to direct anterior approach (DAA) by evaluating the first 53 cases of total hip arthroplasty using a DAA. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 52 patients who underwent THA using a DAA between July 2017 and December 2018. Reasons for THA were: femoral neck fracture (n=34), avascular necrosis (n=13), and arthritis (n=6). The mean age was 70 years old. An assessment of feasibility was made by analyzing mean operative time and blood loss. Cup inclination, anteversion, and leg length discrepancy (LLD) were measured using postoperative radiology. Safety of the DAA was judged using the incidence and nature of all complications. Results: The mean operative time was 112 minutes. 135 minutes for the 1st 10 cases, 100 minutes for 2nd 10 cases, 113 minutes for 3rd 10 cases, 119 minutes for 4th 10 cases, and 91 minutes for the final 13 cases. The mean blood loss was 724 mL. Average cup inclination was 40.27˚; 2 cases were out of safety angle. Mean anteversion was 16.18˚. No intraoperative fractures or infections were observed. LLD was detected in 3 cases, one of which underwent revision due to walking difficulty. Dislocation occurred in 3 cases, all within the first 20 cases, however, there was no recurrent dislocation. Conclusion: DAA for THA was deemed to be feasible and safe based on an assessment of operative time, blood loss and complications.

Young-Yool Chung,Seung-Woo Shim,김민영,Young-Jae Kim 대한고관절학회 2023 Hip and Pelvis Vol.35 No.4

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare short-term results from use of the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the conventional posterolateral approach (PLA) in performance of bipolar hemiarthroplasty for treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 100 patients with intertrochanteric fractures who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty was conducted. The PLA was used in 50 cases from 2016 to 2019; since that time we have used the DAA in 50 cases from 2019 to 2021. Measurements of mean operative time, blood loss, hospitalization period, and ambulation status, greater trochanter (GT) migration and stem subsidence were performed. And the incidence of complications was examined. Results: Operative time was 73.60±14.56 minutes in the PLA group and 79.80±8.89 minutes in the DAA group (P<0.05). However, after experiencing 20 cases using DAA, there was no statistically difference in operative time between two groups (P=0.331). Blood loss was 380.76±180.67 mL in the PLA group and 318.14± 138.51 mL in the DAA group (P<0.05). The hospitalization was 23.76±11.89 days in the PLA group and 21.45 ±4.18 days in the DAA group (P=0.207). In both groups, there were no progressive GT migration, intraoperative fractures or dislocations, although there was one case of infection in the PLA group. Conclusion: Although use of the DAA in performance of bipolar hemiarthroplasty required slightly more time in the beginning compared with the PLA, the DAA may well be an alternative, safe surgical technique as a muscle preserving procedure in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

정영율 ( Young Yool Chung ),최동혁 ( Dong Hyuk Choi ),윤대현 ( Dae Hyun Yoon ),이정호 ( Jung Ho Lee ),박지훈 ( Ji Hun Park ) 대한골절학회 2015 대한골절학회지 Vol.28 No.2

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical results of fixation using Sirus® nail in patients with femoral subtrochanteric and shaft fracture and the difference in the frequency of complications according to the entry portal. Materials and Methods: From July 2006 to August 2013, at least 1-year clinical follow-up, we retrospectively analyzed 36 cases with femoral subtrochanteric (15 cases) and shaft fracture (21 cases) who underwent surgery using Sirus® nail. We reviewed the records of operation time, intra-operative amounts of bleeding and complications. At last follow-up, we reviewed clinical results by Ray-Sanders criteria and analyzed the periods of bone union on the radiograph. We also measured changing of the femoral neck-shaft angle in the subtrochanteric fractures and angulation in the shaft fractures, respectively. Considering anatomical variation of the trochanter and fracture position of subtrochanteric and femoral shaft, entry points were divided into subgroups, and the clinical results were compared. Results: The mean Ray-Sanders score was 27.4, 27 cases (75.0%) were good or excellent. The mean periods of bone union was 21.1 weeks in 31 cases. The mean neck-shaft angles were 135.7o preoperatively, 130.2o postoperatively. The mean angulation of the femur was 24.4o preoperatively, 2.4o postoperatively in patients of femoral shaft fractures. Despite no statistical significance, greater trochanter tip entry point and lateral entry point had a higher rate of frequency than medial entry point, with respect to the occurrence of iatrogenic fracture and malalignment. Conclusion: Using Sirus® nail for femoral subtrochanteric and shaft fractures showed good clinical and radiographic results and a high rate of union. Medial entry point yielded slightly better results in the occurrence of iatrogenic fracture and malalignment, compared to greater trochanter tip entry point and lateral entry point.

정영률 ( Young Yool Chung ),임채현 ( Chae Hyun Lim ),김충영 ( Chung Young Kim ),김정석 ( Jeong Seok Kim ) 대한고관절학회 2013 Hip and Pelvis Vol.25 No.4

목적: 무시멘트형 대퇴 삽입물을 이용하여 인공 고관절 재치환술을 시행한 후 임상적 및 방사선학적 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2010년 5월까지 본원에서 무시멘트형 대퇴 삽입물을 이용하여 인공 고관절 재치환술을 시행하고 2년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 26예를 대상으로 하였다. 재치환술 당시 나이는 평균 63.8세이었다. 추시 기간은 평균 45개월이었다. 재치환술의 원인은 무균성 해리 11예, 골절 6예, 골용해 6예, 감염 3예이었다. 방사선학적 결과는 삽입물의 침강, 해리, 응력 방패 현상을 관찰하였으며, 임상적 결과는 대퇴부 동통과 해리스 고관절 점수를 이용하여 평가하였다. 결과: 재치환술 전 해리스 고관절 점수는 평균 41.2점에서 최종 추시시 평균 85.8점이었으며 18예(69%)에서 양호 이상의 결과를 얻었다. 5예에서 대퇴부 동통을 호소하였다. 대퇴골 삽입물 침강은 3예에서 10 mm 이상 발생하였으며 평균 14 mm이었다. 2예에서 최종 추시시 해리 소견이 관찰되었다. 응력 방패 현상은 6예에서 관찰되었다. 지주 동종골 이식을 시행한 3예는 숙주골과 골유합 소견이 관찰되었다. 합병증은 2예에서 수술 중 발생한 대퇴 삽입물 주위 골절로 금속판과 강선을 이용하여 고정하였고, 3예에서 수술 후 탈구가 발생하여 정복 후 보조기를 착용시켰다. 결론: 무시멘트형 대퇴 삽입물을 이용한 인공 고관절 재치환술에서 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 만족할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 직경이 너무 큰 삽입물을 사용한 경우에서 대퇴부 동통과 응력방패가 발생하였다. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of patients who received revision total hip arthroplasty using cementless femoral stems. Materials and Methods: This study included 26 patients who underwent revision total hip arthroplasty using a cementless femoral stems in our hospital, between Jan 2000 and May 2010, and were able to be evaluated in the final follow-up. The mean age was 63.8 years at the time of the revision surgery, and the follow up period was an average of 45 months. The causes of revision were aseptic loosening in 11 cases, periprosthetic fracture in 6 cases, femoral osteolysis in 6 cases, and infection in 3 cases. The radiologic results were evaluated in term of subsidence, loosening, and the stress shielding. The clinical results were evaluated by the Harris hip score and thigh pain. Results: Harris hip score improved from 41.2 points preoperatively to 85.8 points at the final follow-up. There were 5 cases that complained of thigh pain at the last follow-up. Subsidence of femoral stem of more than 10 mm was observed in 3 cases. Stress shielding was noticed in 6 hips. The 3 grafted strut allografts were completely fused with the host bone. Complications included 2 cases of intraoperative periprosthetic fracture and 3 cases of dislocation. Conclusion: We obtained favorable clinical and radiologic outcomes in revision total hip arthroplasty using a cementless femoral stems. However, thigh pain and stress shielding resulted from the diameter of femoral stem being too large.
