The Ring uncemented polyethylene cup in the abnormal acetabulum.
نویسنده
چکیده
The results of using the Ring uncemented polyethylene-to-metal (UPM) prosthesis in patients with protrusio acetabuli or dysplasia are reported. Fifty-four cases of protrusio were analysed and a modified method of measuring the deformity is described; after operation, remodelling of the medial wall had improved, on average, by 29.6%. For the dysplastic acetabulum the main difficulty is the lack of lateral support for the cup. In order to test the hypothesis that this support improves with an uncemented prosthesis, 38 hips with an average follow-up of 31 months were studied. Lateral support, measured radiographically, showed an average increase of 21%. The remodelling effect may be attributed to the biomechanical design of the prosthesis.

Metallosis following full thickness wear in total hip arthroplasty
Extreme wear through the metal-backed acetabular cup following total hip arthroplasty is rare, as symptoms such as pain and disability will usually manifest earlier. We present the second reported case of extreme wear in a 78-year-old male patient, who presented 20 years following an uncemented total hip replacement with a 3-year history of hip pain, clicking on ambulation and worsening mobilit...
متن کاملA comparative study of “plasmacup” and “porous‐coated” acetabular components: survival after 10 to 12 years of follow‐up
OBJECTIVES Our primary aim was to compare the long-term survivorship rates and the rates of successful osseointegration between two different types of uncemented acetabular components. INTRODUCTION Two types of alloys have primarily been used for the manufacture of the uncemented acetabular components: titanium-based and cobalt-based alloys. A titanium-based alloy appears to be more effective...

BACKGROUND The use of a cemented cup together with an uncemented stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become popular in Norway and Sweden during the last decade. The results of this prosthetic concept, reverse hybrid THA have been sparsely described.We report our experience of reverse hybrid THA, using the Elite plus polyethylene cemented cup together with the Corail fully hydroxyapatite-co...
متن کاملThe role of cages and rings: when all else fails.
The goals of acetabular revision surgery are to restore anatomy and provide stable fixation for the new acetabular component. The most important parameter affecting the surgeon’s ability to accomplish this goal is the existing bone stock. Protective rings facilitate restoration of bone stock by providing a scaffold at the correct anatomic level, which protects the graft while remodeling occurs ...
متن کاملClinical and radiological outcome following total hip arthroplasty with an uncemented trabecular metal monoblock acetabular cup.
Uncemented acetabular components are associated with a significant incidence of polyethylene wear and secondary osteolysis. The new tantalum/polyethylene composite (Hedrocel) acetabular component is designed to reduce the polyethylene wear and to increase the longevity of the acetabular cups. We report our short- term clinical outcome and patient satisfaction following use of an uncemented tant...
