Large acetabular defects remain a challenge in hip revision arthroplasty. Experience with Trabecular Titanium¿ (TT) cups (Limacorporate S.p.a.) has not been widely reported. Therefore, we assessed the survivorship and clinical and radiological outcomes of patients receiving TT cups, with or without supplementary trabecular titanium hemispherical modules for acetabular reconstruction, in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA).~Background~Background~Between January 2009 and July 2014, we performed 67 revisions and 5 primary THAs using TT cups in 69 patients. To achieve stability and/or restore the hip's centre of rotation, hemispherical modules were used in 17 cases based on preoperative templating and/or intraoperative findings. Mean follow-up was 30.5 months. Acetabular bone defects were classified according to the Paprosky classification. Survivorship, functional outcomes (Merle d'Aubigné) and radiological outcomes were analysed.~Methods~Methods~8 patients underwent cup revision: 2 for loosening, 3 for infection, and 3 for hip dislocation. The remaining cases did not present radiological signs of loosening. None of the cases with Paprosky type I classifications needed revision, while 4 with type II and 4 with type III needed revision (p = 0.028). The respective mean values for pain, walking, and range of motion (Merle d'Aubigné scores ± standard deviation) were 3.6 ± 1.4, 3.7 ± 0.7, and 3.8 ± 0.6 preoperatively, and 5.7 ± 0.7, 5.3 ± 0.7, and 5.6 ± 0.7 at the latest follow-up (p<0.001).~Results~Results~In the short term, results with TT cups appear to be encouraging, with satisfactory survival rates for both simple and complex cases.~Conclusions~Conclusions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Abstract: When facing a Vancouver B2 periprosthetic fracture, the most recommended treatment is the prosthesis replacement. Current tests do not provide enough reliability to identify whether the fracture has been produced on a septic or an aseptic loosened prosthesis. Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of the histology for the diagnosis of infection in these cases. A total of 11 hip revision procedures were performed (mean age: 78.1years, 8 women and 3 men). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the histology were 100%, 55.5%, 33.3% and 100% respectively. Of the six patients presenting with a positive histology, four of them had negative cultures (66.6% of false positives). Our results suggest that periprosthetic fractures are a cause of false-positive histology results for the diagnosis of infection during revision of a hip prosthesis for the treatment of Vancouver B2 periprosthetic fractures.

Introduction: The pathogenesis of prosthesis loosening is not well understood. The aim of our study was to sonicate components of joint prostheses removed due to aseptic loosening, culture the sonicate fluid, and to correlate these results with the degree of radiological osteolysis. Methods: From January 2008 to June 2009 all consecutive patients who underwent a revision of hip or knee prosthesis due to aseptic loosening were included in the study. Aseptic loosening was established when the patient had radiological signs of loosening without symptoms or signs of infection. The diagnosis was confirmed when histology was negative, and ≥5 out of 6 standard cultures of periprosthetic tissue were negative. Bone lysis was measured according to the Paprosky or Engh classifications without knowing the result of sonication cultures. Removed components were placed in sterile bags and immediately transported to the microbiology laboratory and sonicated. Sonicate fluid was cultured and the results were correlated with the degree of bone lysis. The proportion of components with positive sonication culture according to the bone lysis classification was compared using χ test. Results: A total of 52 patients were included and 123 components were sonicated. In 30 patients at least 1 sonicated component was positive (57.7%) and 44 out of 123 (35.8%) components were positive. The proportion of positive sonication cultures was significantly higher in the group of components with a higher degree of bone lysis of 3 (76.5%) than in those with lower degrees (33.9% for 1 and 24% for 2) (χ test, p = 0.0004). Conclusions: Sonication cultures were positive in 57% of patients who underwent revision arthroplasty for aseptic loosening. The percentage of positive sonication cultures was significantly higher in patients with severe osteolysis. Level of evidence: level I of Prognostic Studies-Investigating the Effect of a Patient Characteristic on the Outcome of Disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Surgical navigation systems are offered to provide more precise implantation of the femoral component in hip resurfacing (HR), allowing to reduce the risk of malpositioning and of femoral neck fracture and notching. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 30 HR divided into two cohorts and compared the results of a nonnavigated group (15 hips) with those of a navigated group (15 hips). The BrainLAB Computer Navigation System was used in all cases. No notching occurred in either group. The femoral component did not show better positioning in the navigated group, but more outlier cases were observed in the nonnavigated group (7, versus 3 in the navigated group). Although there are no long-term studies showing that surgical navigation increases the survival of HR, the avoidance of outlier values justifies its use, especially during the surgical learning curve, which is a difficult and lengthy one.

The histology of periprosthetic tissue is a gold standard for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection. However, the specificity and sensitivity of histology has never been 100%. In the present study we hypothesized that the type of microorganism could be related to the effectiveness of histology in the detection of infection. Frozen sections and cultures from periprosthetic tissue of 38 revision arthroplasties taken at the time of resection arthroplasty for the treatment of infection were retrospectively reviewed. Frozen sections were evaluated following Feldman’s criteria. A culture was considered positive when the same microorganism was isolated in at least two samples or when pus was present around the prosthesis. The literature providing information on histology and microbiology of arthroplasty-associated infection was reviewed. Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) was the etiology in 13 cases, Gram-negative bacilli in 8, Staphylococcus aureus in 7 , Candida sp in 2, Peptococcus sp in 2, Enterococcus sp in 1 and S. pneumoniae in 1. No microorganism was isolated in four cases. Almost all the frozen sections in the 38 cases were positive except in 2 of the 13 that were caused by CNS (15.3%). The articles reviewed supported our findings. Frozen section is a useful test to intraoperatively confirm an infection when preoperative septic loosening is suspected. However, histology has false-negative results when the infection is due to low-virulence microorganisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
