Abstract |
Background |
Three-dimensional planning (3DP) in total hip arthroplasty using computed tomography (CT) to analyze bone mineral density (BMD) at the stem-femur interface has a high reported accuracy and excellent mid-term results in the literature. However, 3DP does not take into account the effect of femoral rasping on BMD distribution within the rasped cavity. Characterizing the impact of femoral rasping on BMD may help avoid mechanical failures, but this data is not accurately investigated. Therefore, we set out a cadaveric study to identify if: (1) Femoral rasping modified regional BMD in areas considered critical for bone anchorage of cementless metaphyseally fixed anatomic stems. (2) In areas of bone-implant contact with an initial high BMD, does femoral rasping increase BMD?
Hypothesis |
Femoral rasping increases BMD in some zones considered critical for bone anchorage of cementless metaphyseally fixed anatomic stems within the rasped femoral cavity.
Methods |
Four cadaveric femurs were selected to undergo a rasping procedure similar to surgical techniques used for metaphyseally fixed anatomic stems. Images of femurs before and after rasping were obtained with a micro-CT scanner (pixel size 35μm). BMD values before and after rasping were compared in a trabecular bone ring of 3mm thickness around the cavity created by the rasps, in a region extending 3cm above and 2cm below the middle of the lesser trochanter.
Results |
Average BMD increased significantly after rasping in 3 of the 4 femurs (13% (0.27 to 0.30) (p=0.004)), 12% (0.32 to 0.36 (p=0.034)) and 15% (0.4 to 0.46 (p=0.001)), while there was no significant variation in the last femur (0.32 to 0.32 (p>0.05)). Increases in regional BMD were significantly higher in the lateral and medial areas, as well as in the most distal femoral regions. There were significantly lower variations of BMD in regions with initially higher BMD.
Discussion |
Current opinion considers trabecular bone debris from femoral rasping to have an impact on final stem position and outcome. Our study has demonstrated an overall positive effect of femoral rasping on BMD in the rasped cavity. Understanding this in the context of 3DP may help avoid mechanical failures such as, suboptimal implant fit, fill, and stability as well as femoral fractures during stem implantation.
