OE Journal. 2013;1(11):31 Acta Orthop. 2011 Oct;82(5):538-44. Epub 2011 Sep 6150 patients with primary or secondary osteoarthritis of the hip were randomized to undergo THA with either a Charnley or Spectron EF femoral stem. The 2 year results indicate that the Spectron EF stem has superior stability when compared to the Charnley stem, which demonstrated significantly more stem retroversion and posterior translation. Future studies are required to determine if similar results are found over longer follow-up periods.

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
There are many possible mechanisms that can cause femoral stem loosening in cemented total hip replacements including the material, design, and surface finish. Debonding between the cement and femoral stem initiates this loosening, and to address this issue there are many different femoral stem designs aimed at increasing fixation and preventing loosening. The Spectron femoral stem is increasingly being used and has resulted in successful outcomes; however, there is a lack of comparisons to other femoral stems.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
What effect does the use of a Charnley or Spectron EF femoral stem have on migration in patients with hip osteoarthritis undergoing cemented total hip replacement, measured over 2 year follow-up period?
ما هي النتائج المهمة؟
- At 2 years, stem retroversion (mean internal rotation) was 2.3 and 0.7 degrees (p<0.001), and posterior translation (negative translation along z-axis) was 0.44mm and 0.17mm (p=0.002) for the patients in the Charnley group and Spectron EF groups respectively.
- At 2 years, subsidence (migration along y-axis) was 0.26mm for Charnley group, compared to 0.20mm for Spectron EF group (p=0.5).
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
Results from the two year follow-up found that the Charnley stem had more significantly more stem retroversion and posterior translation, compared to the Spectron EF stem.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
Although the Spectron EF stem proved to be more stable throughout the 2 year duration of this study, these good short-term results do not necessarily translate into successful long-term outcomes. Therefore, studies with longer-term follow up periods, which evaluate the impact of design, materials and surface finish of the implant on loosening and resulting migration, are required.
