Abstract

Background

The revision rate of articular surface replacement (ASR) implants continues to rise in China because of metal debris. However, there are few reports on the clinical results of ASR implants with prolonged follow-up time in China. This study investigated the clinical outcomes and the risk factors of revision surgery in patients with ASR implants.

Methods

In total, 74 patients (74 hips) who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with ASR implants over the past 4 to 10 years were retrospectively analyzed. Relevant clinical, radiographic, and biochemical data were examined.

Results

The average follow-up time was 88.46 (range 23–114) months, and the ASR implants of 18 hips (24.3%) were revised. Patients who received revision surgery had worse joint function with significantly lower Harris Hip Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities index than non-revision patients (61.11 ± 6.68 vs 85.30 ± 9.16, p < 0.001; 61.00 ± 3.83 vs 79.04 ± 14.49, p < 0.001; respectively). Higher acetabular abduction angle and serum Co and Cr concentration were significantly relevant to worse joint function as measured by HSS (p = 0.018, 0.009, 0.043, respectively). ROC curve analysis was applied to categorize the optimal cutoff values of acetabular abduction angle and serum Cr and Co concentration for revision surgery, which were settled as 47.80°, 98.44 μg/L, and 6.95 μg/L, respectively. Overall survival of the prostheses with high acetabular abduction angle (> 47.80°, HR = 70.145, 95% CI 1.558–3158.213, p = 0.029), high serum Cr concentration (98.44 μg/L, HR = 58.956, 95% CI 1.294–2685.203, p = 0.036), and high serum Co concentration (> 6.95 μg/L, HR = 179.511, 95% CI 2.360–13656.941, p = 0.019) decreased significantly than the lower groups.

Conclusions

Evaluation of the DePuy ASR XL articulation demonstrated increased rates of revision following a longer follow-up period. High acetabular abduction angle and serum Cr and Co concentration correlated with worse clinical outcomes and high revision rate. Therefore, we advocate that patients with DePuy ASR XL implants be followed up more closely than those with other implants, especially with high acetabular abduction angle and serum Cr or Co concentration.
