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.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

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?
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.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
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?
- 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).
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
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.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
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.
