概要

A prospective randomized controlled study evaluating the wear and migration of cemented acetabular sockets with third generation highly cross-linked vitamin E infused polyethylene and second generation highly crosslinked UHMWPE using Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA).

説明

Background Reducing the rate of polyethylene (PE) wear in acetabular sockets and thereby increasing the lifespan of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has been a major concern in the orthopaedic community for decades. Wear of PE and osteolysis followed by late aseptic loosening of the prosthesis is the main reason for revision surgery after THA in Norway.

During 2008 in Norway 805 out of a total of 1114 revised THA were subjugated to surgery due to aseptic loosening or osteolysis without loosening. The DRG (Diagnose Related Grouping) weight is 5.49 for secondary THA and every DRG point has a value of 33.647 NOK adding up to a direct total cost for revision after aseptic loosening of approximately 27 million USD.

Caput prosthesis with a diameter of 32mm or more has the major advantage to increase the Range of Motion (ROM) and to reduce the risk of dislocation of the hip but, the larger the caput prosthesis the more adhesive wear can be expected. This and the relative failure of metal on PE gave the incentive to develop and take into clinical practise bearings with increased resilience to wear. Today, there exists a wide range of options with a substantially lower rate of volumetric wear compared to conventional PE. The biological and immunological in vivo response to wear particles is very complicated and only partially understood. It is clear that host response to wear particles and the corrosion products play a major role in osteolysis around the prosthesis. For metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings the volumetric wear is a magnitude less but the number of particle debris is massively increased. MoM also have the problem with possible teratogen effect and allergy or hypersensitivity side effects. Ceramic on ceramic (cer-cer) has the lowest wear rate of any artificial articulations, but it is still possible to detect biologically active debris particles. Cer-cer also has other challenges including fracture of prosthesis, squeaking hip, narrow margins for placing components and cost.

Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of long chains of the monomer ethylene (C2H4). The mechanical properties of PE depend on variables such as the extent and type of branching and the crystal structure etc.

To improve the wear resistance of the PE an increase in the cross-linking between the chains of polyethylene can be achieved by exposing it to high-energy irradiation. The irradiation also increases the unpaired free electrons (free radicals). Free radicals can react with oxygen and start a chain reaction causing an oxidative degradation of the polyethylene and consequently cause increased wear. 1st generation HXLPE sockets have reduced the mid term incidence of particle-induced osteolysis but retrieved failed first-generation HXLPE sockets have shown surface cracking and signs of in vivo oxidative degradation.

In order to enhance the resistance to mechanical fatigue and reduce oxidative potential 2nd generation HXLPE was developed. To reduce the oxidative potential the polyethylene can be remelted or annealed. Remelting aggravates the mechanical properties of the polyethylene and after annealing there are still remaining free radicals capable of oxidation in vivo. By binding to unpaired free electrons Vitamin E is a scavenger of free radicals. Vitamin E is hydrophobic and can thereby be infused into polyethylene. 3rd generation HXLPE is manufactured below the melting temperature to maintain its mechanical properties and contains Vitamin E to stabilize free radicals. Uncemented Acetabular HXLPE sockets have been shown to have substantially reduced volumetric wear and excellent clinical mid-term results with this type of PE. In Scandinavia the majority of sockets are cemented. The different principles of biological or mechanical stability affects the properties of the socket typically different E-module and the surrounding interface between implant and bone. Conventional PE cemented cups have performed better with less aseptic loosening than uncemented cups. However, as the mechanical properties are changed in highly cross-linked Polyethylene cups, it is not clear whether the higher elasticity of the bone-cement-polyethylene compound might lead to fractures of the more brittle polyethylene. It is therefore not possible to extrapolate clinical results and wear rates from uncemented cups to cemented ones.

Placement of the cup is a crucial parameter for wear and cup survival. Malchau et al. has shown that even high volume surgeons achieve suboptimal placement in 40% of cases. This may depend on patient positioning perioperative, surgical instruments or technique. It is not known whether the surgeon's subjective operative technique directly corresponds to the postoperative evaluation of the cups position. However, adequate cup positioning is crucial in the evaluation of wear. CT is the best method to judge cup position postoperatively and detect osteolysis in the long time perspective.

To the investigators knowledge no randomized controlled study of cemented 3rd generation HXLPE cups utilizing RSA has been conducted.

Hypothesis There is a mid term in vivo reduction of volumetric polyethylene wear with cemented acetabular socket 3rd generation E1™ HXLPE compared with 2nd generation HXLPE.

Material: 70 eligible patients will be included following written informed consent. The participants will be randomized by the envelope method to either E1™ or Marathon™ cemented acetabular socket. The surgery will be performed at the hospitals in Vestre Viken HF and Oslo University hospital HF, Ullevål ortopeden.

Implant The investigators will use two different cemented all PE acetabular sockets;

1. MarathonTM is a 1st generation HXLPE. The polyethylene is cross-linked with 5 Mrad that corresponds to a semi cross-linked PE.

2. The E1™ cemented is an all PE Vitamin E stabilized 3rd generation highly crosslinked UHMWPE. In vitro tests have shown a 99 % decreased volumetric wear rate comparing E1™ with ArComXL™ HXLPE, (highly crosslinked polyethylene) under high contact stress and a 95% reduction in wear rate comparing E1™ with ArCom™ under high contact area stress. Wear particle morphology of E1™ is similar to that of the ArCom™ material.

Collared Corail™ (De Puy, Warsaw, Indiana, USA) uncemented femoral prosthesis is a titanium tapered implant fully coated with 150 micron hydroxyapatite with over 95% survival after 15 years. The caput prosthesis used is the Cobalt Chrome 32 mm Articul/EZE™ (De Puy, Warsaw, Indiana, USA) Refobacin ™ (Biomet Europe, Berlin, Germany) Bone Cement R is a high viscosity, x-ray positive bone cement. A sachet of 40 g Refobacin® Bone Cement R contains 0.5 g gentamicin.

Surgical technique The patient is operated in the position after surgeon's preference and under spinal anaesthesia. Accordingly the approach is after surgeon's preference. When posterolateral approach is chosen a repair of the capsule and the external rotators should be performed. Peroperatively a total of 6 1,0mm tantalum beads are implanted in the perimeter of the socket and 7 beads in the acetabulum. The acetabular socket is positioned as close to 45◦ abduction and 30◦ anteversion as possible.

The surgeon will postoperative directly grade cup position subjectively as anteverted, neutral, retroverted, proximalized, distalized.

Postoperative training Postoperatively the patient is mobilized with full weight bearing from day one.

Radiological analyses Conventional x-ray of pelvis, anterioposterior and lateral projections of hip preoperatively, postoperatively and at 24 (60, 120) months RSA (Radiostereometric analysis) postoperatively, 3, 12, 24 (60, 120) months, the RSA will be analysed at Ullevål University Hospital

Clinical Control Harris Hip Score, EQ-5D and WOMAC will be filled out preoperatively and at 2, 5 and 10 years.

Analysis of data RSA analysis will be performed at the Centre of Implant and Radiostereometric Research Oslo (CIRRO).

The study analysis is conducted under the guidance of CIRRO.

Storage of data Data will be collected and stored at the server for research at Oslo University Hospital. All data is stored anonymously. Each patient receives a study ID. The randomisation key and identity is stored separately.

Statistics Penetration of more than 0,1 mm annually in polyethylene articulations indicates a wear rate that will lead to future osteolysis1.

Scientific value Firstly, if recently developed manufacturing techniques of polyethylene can be shown to decrease the wear rate in vivo, and otherwise have a good clinical and radiological outcome, we have the reason to believe we have the possibility of significantly reducing the revision rate after THA.

Secondly, new implants should thoroughly be investigated and documented before widespread use. This could save many patients from possible disastrous failures as the past has taught us (Boneloc, Carbon compressed Poly).

Safety for the patient. The investigators will follow the normal routines for THA pre, per and postoperatively. Standardized routines in regards to infection and thrombosis prophylaxis following the recommendations from the Norwegian national board of orthopaedics will be followed. Implantation of Tantalum beads has been shown to have negligible side effects.

The E1TM and Marathon PE is clinically tested in uncemented THA, the other components of the prosthesis has more than 10 years clinical and RSA documentation.

Biomet will cover expenses including:

Extra cost of purchasing and storing prosthesis compared with standard prosthesis. Biomet or Stryker has no copy right or any other form of ownership to the result of this study.
