Abstract
Although most patients achieve favorable results following bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty (BHA), some experience rapid migration of the prosthesis. We retrospectively reviewed 18 patients with BHA that necessitated revision. We examined soft tissues obtained from periprosthetic lesions. In total, 18 patients with pain and acetabular migration of the BHA prosthesis were included. The patients were divided into a polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)-positive (≥5 PMNs per high-power field [HPF]) and PMN-negative (<5 PMNs/HPF) group. Pathological findings showed that 11 patients were PMN-positive, which was indicative of infection. All patients in the PMN-positive group showed no polyethylene particles or foreign body giant cells, while all patients in the PMN-negative group showed polyethylene debris or foreign body giant cells (p < 0.001). BHA survival, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip score were significantly different between the PMN-positive and PMN-negative group (p < 0.01). A BHA survival cut-off value of 3270 days was diagnostic for PMN positivity (sensitivity: 100%; specificity: 100%). The cut-off values for CRP and the JOA hip score were 0.43 mg/dl and 56 points, respectively....Continue Reading
