Analysis of various THA interventions for the treatment of end stage arthritis of the hip .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2014;2(18):14 PLoS One. 2014 Jul 8;9(7):e99804Results from 14 RCTs and 5 systematic reviews were reviewed and pooled to determine the effect various THA interventions had on the pain, disability, and function experienced by patients with end stage arthritis of the hip. Results from the analysis indicated that patients experienced significant postoperative THA improvements in Harris Hip scores between 6 months and 10 years, but that improvements did not differ between various impact types. Additionally, a reduced risk of implant dislocation following intervention was noted for patients treated with a larger femoral head size or cemented cups (compared to smaller femoral heads and cementless cups, respectively). Those who received cross linked cup liners experienced reduced femoral head penetration and revision when compared to conventional polyethylene liners. Analysis of femoral stem fixation methods and cup shell designs indicated that neither had a significant effect on implant survival rates.

El Índice de Fragilidad es una herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación de hallazgos significativos, proporcionando una medida de fuerza para un resultado. El Índice de Fragilidad representa el número de eventos consecutivos que es necesario añadir a un resultado dicotómico para que el hallazgo deje de ser significativo. Un número pequeño representa un hallazgo más débil y un número grande un hallazgo más fuerte.
¿Por qué se necesitaba ahora este estudio?
The enhancement of designs, fixation methods, sizes, and bearing surfaces of implants for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has produced substantial procedural options for healthcare professionals and orthopaedic surgeons. This variety of potential approaches to TKA warrants an investigation to determine the most optional combinations of THR implants and techniques. The goal of this this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of different types of THA used for the treatment of end stage arthritis, and to attempt to determine which techniques/ interventions are the most effective.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
How effective are various THA interventions at improving the pain and disability experienced by patients with end stage arthritis of the hip?
- Searches by the authors identified 1,523 unique records, of which, 14 RCTs and 5 systematic reviews were included.
- 7 studies reported mean postoperative Harris Hip score between 6 months and 10 years. Results across the studies suggested that Harris Hip score improved in all interventions, but did not improve by significantly greater amounts when comparing patients treated with cemented and cementless cup fixation, between XLPE and transitional polyethylene cup liners, cemented and cementless stem fixation, metal on metal and metal on XLPE femoral head articulations, or ceramic on ceramic and metal on XLPE head articulations (p>0.05 for all).
- No differences were apparent between patients treated with XLPE or traditional PE cup liners when comparing WOMAC or Short Form-12 scores (p>0.05).
- A reduced risk of implant dislocation with the use of cemented cups was noticed when comparing its results against cementless cups (OR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.13 to 0.89). A similar finding was found in favour of larger femoral head sizes (36 mm vs. 28 mm).
- Three RCTs indicated that patients with XLPE cup liners experienced a reduction in femoral head penetration rate and risk of revision (RR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.78) when compared to those who received conventional PE cup liners.
- Analysis indicated that Femoral stem fixation and cup shell design had no significant effect on implant survival rates (p>0.05)
- Patients who received ceramic on ceramic articulations experienced a reduced risk of osteolysis when compared to those treated with XLPE head articulations
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
Results from the systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that patients experienced significant postoperative THA improvements in Harris Hip scores at 6 months to 10 years, but that improvements did not differ between various impact types. A reduced risk of implant dislocation following intervention was noted for patients treated with a larger femoral head size or cemented cups (compared to smaller femoral heads and cementless cups, respectively). Those who received cross linked cup liners experienced reduced femoral head penetration and revision when compared to conventional polyethylene liners. Analysis of femoral stem fixation methods and cup shell designs indicated that neither had a significant effect on implant survival rates.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
The majority of evidence obtained in this systematic review and meta-analysis was inconclusive due to poor reporting, missing data, or uncertain treatment estimates. The findings warrant cautious interpretation given the potential risk of bias, methodological limitations (small sample size, low event counts, short follow-up), and weak reporting of some studies included in this review. Long-term, detailed, RCTs on the topics included in this report are needed for more definitive conclusions.
