Femoral Component Positioning in Resurfacing Arthroplasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous studies have suggested that femoral component positioning in resurfacing arthroplasty may affect strains in the femoral neck that could lead to decreased implant longevity, A strain gaged, Sawbones model was used to determine the femoral neck strains for a variety of resurfacing head translations and angulations. We found that head positions affected strain distributions, most positions leading to increased neck strains, often over 100%, with the exception being a varus head position where the superior neck strains decreased over 50%. Although the clinical meaning of these findings is unclear, it could be of concern for stress-shielding or fatigue fracture of the femoral neck.

Cement Penetration into Femoral Head with Longitudinal Slot Following Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty
+Snyder, S; Jamali, A A; Hazelwood, S J +California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA, University of California Davis Medical Center, Sacramento, CA [email protected] INTRODUCTION Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is seen as advantageous in younger, active patients due to its preservation of bone. Failure of these implants, though, can be very traumatic and potentially life threat...
متن کاملHip Resurfacing Arthroplasty: Investigating the Femoral Component in the Sagittal Plane
The outcomes of hip resurfacing arthroplasty are largely dependent on prosthesis positioning. The biomechanics of notching, accurate measurement of femoral implant version and the use of computer navigation of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing procedure were studied in this work. First, biomechanical tests were conducted with varying notch sizes and femoral positions, and it was determined that an...
متن کاملThe effect of the cam deformity on the insertion of the femoral component in hip resurfacing.
Surface arthroplasty simulations were generated using 3-dimensional computed tomographic scans from 61 consecutive patients presenting with idiopathic osteoarthritis to evaluate the change in femoral component positioning that would allow optimal alignment when resurfacing a cam-type deformity. Anatomical parameters were measured to quantify the influence of the deformity on the insertion techn...
متن کاملThe effect of component size and orientation on the concentrations of metal ions after resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip.
Increased concentrations of metal ions after metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty of the hip remain a concern. Although there has been no proven link to long-term health problems or early prosthetic failure, variables associated with high metal ion concentrations should be identified and, if possible, corrected. Our study provides data on metal ion levels from a series of 76 consecutive pati...
متن کاملCustomized Guide for Femoral Component Positioning in Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty
OBJECTIVE To prove the accuracy of a customized guide developed according to our method. METHODS This customized guide was developed from a three-dimensional model of proximal femur reconstructed using computed tomography data. Based on the new technique, the position of the guide pin insertion was selected and adjusted using the reference of the anatomical femoral neck axis. The customized g...
