Abstract

The Articular Surface Replacement (ASR) total hip arthroplasty (THA) showed accelerated failure rates due to adverse-reaction to metal debris (ARMD). Literature correlating

with intraoperative revision findings. ARMD was even found in asymptomatic patients with non-elevated ion levels. Postoperative pain and metal ion levels decreased significantly

(p≤0.016). Cobalt decreased faster than Chrome. Patients with intraoperative pseudotumors, osteolysis or bilateral ASR THA did not have higher pre- or postoperative ion values (p≥0.053). Females showed higher postoperative Chrome levels (p=0.031). One major post-

developed due to proclaimed advantages of decreased wear rates in comparison to polyethylene-on-metal bearings, a lower hip dislocation rate, lower implant fracture risks in comparison to ceramic-on-ceramic bearings, a higher range of motion (ROM) in comparison

SC

to small headed THA and the opportunity to produce resurfacing hip arthroplasties.[1–7] However, after introducing the Articular Surface Replacement (ASR™) XL THA (DePuy

NU

Orthopaedics, Inc., Warsaw, IN, USA) accelerated failure rates after short in-situ time were

MA

found worldwide.[7–14] Langton et al. reported a failure rate of 6% after 41 months and 48.8% after 6 years.[9,10] The National Joint Registry of England and Wales postulated failure rates of 13% after 5 years.[8] Steele at al. published a revision rate of 12% after 1.6

PT ED

years.[7] Reito et al. proclaimed a 7 year survivorship of 38% for small headed ASR™ THA.[15] Bernthal et al. reported implant dysfunction in 28.6% with a revision rate of 17.1% after 3 years.[12] This results were comparable to our previously published data verifying a

CE

revision rate of 24.5% after a mean follow-up term of 3.5 years, mostly due to adverse

AC

reaction to metal debris (ARMD).[14] ARMD was introduced as umbrella term subsuming metallosis with elevated blood ion levels, soft-tissue lesions and/or pseudotumors, aseptic lymphocytic vasculitis-associated lesions (ALVAL) and implant failure associated with groin pain.[9,11,16,17] However, despite accelerated failure rates of the ASR™ THA were reported several times, to the best of our knowledge, there is a paucity of literature correlating preoperative clinical, radiological and metal ion data with intraoperative revision findings.[9,18,19] Available studies are restricted by a retrospective study design[18] or a limited number of revised ASR™ THA (n ≤ 18)[9,18,19]. Additionally, no fundamental post-revision follow-up data is published yet. Stryker et al.[20] reported a high early complication rate of 20% 14 months after revision of a heterogeneous group of metal-on-metal THA. Matharu et al.[21] had a re3

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT revision rate of 12.5% after 4.5 years. Munro et al.[22] reported a higher rate of major complications in at least 38% 25 months after revision of 31 Durom® MOM articulations and

RI PT

one ASR™ THA. They reported a decrease of Chrome (Cr) and Cobalt (Co) metal ion levels in 14 of 16 patients after revision surgery.[22] Randelli et al.[19] postulated significant higher ion values for patients with failed ASR™ THA with severe intraoperative acetabular bone

loss. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no literature available yet reporting on post-revision follow-up data and blood metal ion levels after explantation of all ASR™ THA

NU

devices.

MA

Hence, because we had verified a revision rate of at least 24.5% after 3.5 years [14], preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of all patients who underwent revision surgery due to ARMD was analyzed. The main study aims were to find out whether (1)

PT ED

preoperative collected data (clinical and radiological results; blood metal ions) do correlate with intraoperative revision findings; (2) blood ion levels significantly decrease after removing of all ASR™ devices, (3) pseudotumors or intraoperativ osteolysis, gender or a

CE

bilateral implanted ASR™ THA affect pre- and post-revision blood metal ions, (4) and to

AC

report minimum one year follow-up results after revision surgery.

Materials and Methods At our institution we had implanted 99 ASR™ THA in 88 patients between December 2005 and April 2009. 11 patients received an ASR™ THA on bilateral side. A high early revision rate of this patient cohort was already reported previously.[14] For primary implantation, the ASR™ femoral head was combined with a CoxaFit stem (K-Implant, Hannover, Germany) in 97 of 99 prosthesis, in two cases an ARGE Geradschaft stem (K-Implant, Hannover, Germany) was used. Both stems had a common 12/14 mm taper.[14] 78 implants were performed through a minimal-invasive anterolateral approach.[23] In 21 cases a lateral transgluteal approach was used for primary implantation.[24] 4

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT However, by the beginning of January 2014, 31 (31.3%) of 99 ASR™ THA were revised. 30 ASR™ THA (30.3%) were revised due to ARMD. One ASR™ THA was revised due to a late

RI PT

onset infection and excluded for this analysis. No other complications with need of revision surgery occurred after primary ASR™ THA. Indication for revision surgery was decided using the guidelines published by the British Hip Society.[25] All revisions were performed

SC

between 19.07.2010 and 29.11.2013. Mean time to revision surgery after primary implantation was 4.6 ±0.9 (2.7 – 6.7) years. Revision surgery was performed through a

NU

conventional lateral approach.[24] Müller back plates or Zintra acetabular screw cups

MA

(Zimmer, Warsaw, Inc., USA) combined with a high molecular weight polyethylene were used for acetabular revision. Loosened femoral stems were replaced with a Zweymueller revision stem. The ASR™ femoral head was removed and a conventional 28 or 32 mm

PT ED

femoral head (K-Implant, Hannover, Germany) was implanted. Overall, we were able to revise 28 of 30 ASR™ THA at our institution. Two patients underwent revision surgery in a different hospital. Hence, no intraoperative data was available. All patients gave informed

CE

consent before they were included in this review board approved study.

AC

Pre-revision data included baseline characteristics (gender, age, body mass index, ASA Classification[26], side of implantation, surgical approach, size of implanted components) of all patients at time of primary ASR™ THA. (Table 1) Accordingly, clinical and radiological data obtained shortly before revision surgery was analyzed. This data was collected 4.4 ±1.0 [2.5 – 6.6] years after primary ASR™ THA. Clinical parameters included range of motion (ROM), trochanteric pain, push & pull sign and gluteal muscle weakness (Trendelenburg sign). Radiological investigation was performed with conventional hip X-rays taken 3 months after primary ASR™ THA and shortly before revision surgery in anterior-posterior (ap), axial and pelvic view. Acetabular cup inclination angle was measured in frontal plane on pelvic overview by one orthopedic surgeon.[14] A high inter- and intraobserver reliability was already described previously.[27] Osteolytic loosening zones around the acetabular cup and 5

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT femoral stem in anterior-posterior and axial view were obtained.[28–31] (Table 2, Figure 1AC) Computer tomography (CT) imaging was performed to detect soft tissue lesions,

RI PT

pseudotumors, component loosening and osteolysis. In three cases no CT-scan was available: one patient refused imaging and in two cases no CT was performed due to acetabular cup loosening, which was already diagnosed by conventional X-rays.

SC

During ASR™ revision surgery we obtained appearance of pseudotumors/soft-tissue lesions, intraarticular effusion, metallosis, osteolysis/cystic bone lesions and loosening of acetabular

cup or the femoral stem. Intraoperative findings were compared and correlated to preoperative

MA

clinical, radiological and metal ion data. We were interested whether clinical and radiological data respectively serum ion levels collected before revision surgery do correlate with intraoperative revision findings.

PT ED

At least one year after ASR™ revision surgery, patients underwent postoperative clinical and radiological follow-up. Examination included same clinical and radiological parameters as before revision surgery. No computer-tomography imaging was performed. We were able to

CE

compare pre- with postoperative revision data in 20 of 30 ASR™ THA. 5 patients were lost to

AC

follow-up: 2 patients had died unrelated to revision surgery; 3 patients were not reached. An additional of 5 patients had been excluded for postoperative clinical data analysis because they were investigated within 12 months after revision surgery. Mean follow-up was 2.3 ±0.5 (1.5 – 3.1) years after ASR™ THA revision surgery. (Figure 2) Chrome and Cobalt levels in serum were collected regularly before and after revision surgery. We were interested whether and how serum ion levels would decrease after explantation of all ASR™ devices. Blood was collected with a 21-gauge venofix butterfly system (B.Braun, Melsungen, Germany) or a 21-gauge multi drawing needle (Greiner Bio-one, Frickenhausen, Germany). Vacuette native tubes or tubes filled with ethylendiamintetraacetate (EDTA) respectively heparine were used to collect blood samples. Accordingly blood samples were diluted with 1:19 diluent (1g/L K-EDTA + 0.25% NH4OH in highly cleaned water) and 6

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT analyzed by X-SERIES 2 ICP mass spectrometry (ThermoFisher, Dreieich, Germany). Measuring range was set at 1 to 300 μg/L for Chrome and 1 to 400 μg/L for Cobalt. Serum

RI PT

ion levels of more than 7 μg/L were considered as elevated.[25] For statistical analysis we compared highest ion levels measured before revision surgery with the lowest ion levels collected after ASR™ THA revision. To avoid adulteration of ion data, all bilateral ASR™

SC

THA cases (n = 5) were excluded for statistical analysis. Hence, 20 patients (20 ASR™ THA) were available to compare pre- with postoperative ion levels. (Figure 2) Maximum ion levels

NU

were measured 48.8 ±11.8 (5.7 – 61.1) months after primary and 5.5 ±6.3 (0 – 28) months

MA

before ASR™ revision surgery. Minimum ion values were obtained 23.9 ±10.6 (1.6 – 35.2) months after ASR™ revision surgery. However, we did a separate statistical ion analysis comparing pre- and postoperative metal ion levels of unilateral (n = 20) with bilateral (n = 5)

PT ED

ASR™ THA. For bilateral cases maximum ion levels were measured 51.8 ±5.6 (45 – 59) months after primary and 11.5 ±8.5 (3 – 24) months before ASR™ revision surgery.

CE

Minimum ion values were obtained 19.6 ±13.7 (6 – 35) months after ASR™ revision surgery.

AC

For statistical analysis SPSS Software Version 18 (Chicago, Illinois, USA) was used. For every parameter mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were calculated. For blood ion levels the median value was also analyzed. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assume normal distribution. Normal distributed dependent data was compared using paired t-test. Dependent categorical and nominal data was analyzed using Sign and McNemar test, respectively. Independent categorical and nominal data was compared using Fisher`s exact test or Chi-Square test. For independent nonnormal distributed skewed data Mann-Whitney U-Test was used. For comparison of more than two independent groups the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed.

imaging revealed soft tissue lesions/pseudotumors in 12 (44.4%) of 27 available ASR™ THA. However, in 2 cases no typical pseudotumor was found during revision surgery. Both patients had increased ion levels and showed local metallosis with osteolysis. In 4 cases a

pseudotumor was found intraoperatively, but not described by CT imaging. 9 ASR™ THA (33.3%) showed acetabular cup and/or femoral stem loosening with CT imaging. However,

of these patients suffered from severe pain (VRS = 4), showed highly increased blood ion values and/or intraoperative pseudotumors with metallosis. In 3 cases acetabular loosening was found intraoperatively but not described by preoperative CT.

PT ED

X-rays taken shortly before revision surgery revealed acetabular cup loosening in 6 ASR™ THA. Two femoral stems showed accelerated radiological radiolucency in ap and axial view. This was confirmed by CT imaging and even found during revision surgery. Remaining x-

rays did not show any osteolysis or component loosing. Intraoperative findings showed 5

AC

cases with solid cystic bone lesions, 6 hips with accelerated osteolysis and 9 loosened acetabular cups. All femoral stems except of two were well fixed to the bone. Intraarticular effusion was revealed in at least 17 cases during surgery. In 19 cases metallosis/black stained soft tissue was found. However, only in 5 cases stained hip aspirate was found preoperatively. Finally, there were 5 patients with non-elevated ion levels < 7 μg/L. Though, pseudotumors were found in 3 cases, metallosis was revealed in 4 patients and two acetabular cups respectively one femoral stem showed aseptic loosening during revision surgery. (Table 3; adapted Table, Cip et al.[14]) Comparison of pre- with postoperative blood ion levels showed a significant decrease for both Chrome and Cobalt (p < 0.001) in all patients. (Figure 3) Every patient showed lower ion values after ASR™ THA revision surgery than before. Delta ion parameters (highest 8

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT preoperative minus lowest postoperative ion value) revealed a faster decrease for Cobalt than for Chrome in all evaluations. (Table 4; Figure 4)

RI PT

There were no statistical significant differences within preoperative or postoperative Chrome or Cobalt values or delta ion values when comparing groups of intraoperative pseudotumor (yes vs. no), intraoperative osteolysis (yes vs. no), intraoperative component loosening (yes

SC

vs. no), gender (female vs. male) or unilateral versus bilateral ASR™ THA (p ≥ 0.053). Only females showed significant higher postoperative Chrome levels than male patients did (p =

NU

0.031) based no a higher mean preoperative Chrome level, which was not statistically

MA

significant (p = 0.181).

Overall, one major post-revision complication occurred by the end of this trial: One patient showed immediate postoperative femoral nerve palsy due to a nerve traction injury. In

PT ED

addition one re-revision was performed due to a late onset infection 8 months after initial revision surgery, which included a polyethylene-inlay and femoral head change. Remaining revision procedures showed no major complications (e.g. infection, aseptic loosening,

CE

periprosthetic fracture, nerve injuries) or need of a re-revision surgery at a mean follow-up

AC

term of 2.3 ±0.5 (1.5 – 3.1) years after initial revision procedure. By the end of this trial there was even no hip dislocation in the whole study cohort. Compared to pre-revision data we found a significant decreased postoperative pain intensity level (p = 0.016). However, 2 patients suffered still from severe pain (VRS = 4) and five patients claimed about moderate pain (VRS = 3). The postoperative HSS was not significant different (p = 0.650). No significant differences were revealed when comparing pre- with postoperative ROM (p ≥ 0.101). However, a higher mean abduction was revealed at least one year postoperatively (p = 0.045). (Table 5) Additionally, also those five patients, who were investigated within one year after revision surgery and excluded for clinical statistical analysis, improved with a postoperative VRS of 1.8 ±0.8 (1 – 3) and HHS of 90.4 ±10.4 (72 – 97).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Discussion After introducing ASR™ THA accelerated failure rates after short term were reported

RI PT

worldwide.[7–14] Soft-tissue lesions, pseudotumors, component loosening, metallosis, elevated blood ion levels, ALVAL and accelerated groin pain were found and described as ARMD.[9,11,16,17] ARMD was reported as main reason for early ASR™ THA

SC

failure.[14,15]

However, so far there are only few articles reporting on metal-on-metal intraoperative

NU

revision findings.[9,18,19] Available studies are restricted by a retrospective study design or a

MA

limited number of ASR™ THA revised due to ARMD (n ≤18).[9,18,19] Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, there is no post-revision data published yet, dealing with patients who underwent ASR™ THA revision surgery. Several authors are reporting on a high early post-

PT ED

revision complication rate of 20% or more after revision of several different metal-on-metal THA. [20,22] Munro et al.[22] published a decrease of Chrome and Cobalt levels in 14 of 16 patients after revision surgery. However, nothing is known whether and how fast elevated

CE

blood ion levels decrease after explantation of ASR™ THA. No recent post-revision follow-

AC

up data is published yet. Because we had revised 30 ASR™ THA devices due to ARMD, we are reporting on pre-, intra- and post-revision clinical, radiological and metal ion data. The study was restricted by several limitations. First, baseline characteristics and pre-revision data was collected retrospectively. Nevertheless, we had a complete follow-up rate for all parameters. Only in two cases we were not able to obtain the preoperative HHS. Intraoperative and postoperative data was collected prospectively. Second, 5 patients were lost to postoperative follow-up. An additional of 5 patients were excluded due to a minimum one year follow-up after revision surgery. We think that a minimum post-revision follow-up term of at least one year was necessary to avoid adulteration of postoperative clinical data. A short follow-up term may had influenced ROM, HHS and VRS results. However, all of those

10

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT patients improved clinically already after short follow-up term and were also included for metal ion analysis.

RI PT

There were discrepancies between preoperative CT imaging and intraoperative revision findings. Metal artifacts led to a reduced imaging quality and affected interpretations of CT scans. In 4 patients an intraoperative pseudotumor/soft tissue lesion was not found by

SC

preoperative imaging. Kwon et al.[32] already described metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) magnet resonance imaging (MRI) as an important cross-sectional imaging to detect

NU

ARMD around metal-on-metal implants. In a previous analysis, we already reported lower

MA

rates of soft tissue lesions when using CT imaging in comparison to literature using MARSMRI.[14] A lower sensitivity for CT scan may explain these discrepancies.[14] Additionally, we had three patients where osteolysis was found intraoperatively but not seen with

PT ED

preoperative CT-scan. Randelli et al.[19] also described unexpected intraoperative osteolysis when using MRI and plain radiographs for preoperative imaging. The authors described in detail a reduced ability to detect osteolysis around metal-on-metal bearings, especially in

CE

presence of local metallosis.[19] CT imaging may be superior to detect osteolysis and

AC

component loosening around metal-on-metal bearings in comparison to MARS MRI. In addition CT is less time consuming, mostly easy available and cheaper than MARS MRI. However, based on our discrepancies between preoperative imaging results and intraoperative revision findings, MARS MRI and even ultrasound imaging should be used as golden standard to detect even smaller soft tissue lesions and/or intraarticular effusion around MOM bearings. Nawabi et al.[33] reported MRI as a sensitive and specific tool in detecting soft tissue damage in patients with an implanted metal-on-metal hip. Intraarticular effusion was found in most of our revision procedures. However, only five cases revealed a stained preoperative hip aspiration. Small amount of intraarticular effusion may be difficult to aspirate. Ultrasound imaging is time consuming and investigator depended, but cheap and an established tool without radiation exposure. Hence, this technique could be used to detect 11

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT even small amounts of intraarticular effusion around MOM bearings, which may be an important initial sign of ARMD. Elevated ion levels were considered to be predictive for

RI PT

ARMD and local metallosis.[14,34] However, five patients had ion levels within a threshold that was considered as “low risk” in recently published guidelines.[32] We found pseudotumors, metallosis and aseptic component loosening when serum ion levels were less

SC

than 7 μg/L respectively 2 μg/L. Consequently, low ion values do not exclude ARMD. Similar findings were reported previously.[35] In addition, also a pain free and asymptomatic

NU

hip may have ARMD. We had asymptomatic patients where elevated ion levels,

MA

intraoperative pseudotumors and metallosis was found. A close clinical and radiological follow-up is recommended even in asymptomatic patients with low ion levels. Unspecific or mild symptoms of groin pain could be a first sign of ARMD.

PT ED

Corrosion along the surface of the femoral stem or at MOM modular junctions was described as one leading cause of elevated metal ions.[11,36] For ASR™ THA increased wear was not only described on the articulation surface but also at the trunnion-taper interface, the

CE

connection between the femoral stem and head.[10] However, because we did not find any

AC

severe trunnion damage, we left the well fixed femoral stem in at least all patients except in 2 cases, where the femoral stem was loosened. Nevertheless, after explantation of all ASR™ devices, serum ion levels decreased significantly in all patients, even after a short follow-up term. This results confirm that the ASR™ THA devices were the main source of blood metal ions. Hence, we recommend not to revise a well fixed femoral stem unnecessarily if there is no severe macroscopic trunnion damage. Matthies et al.[37] already reported a negligible volume of material loss at the male taper of the femoral stem in comparison to the female taper of the femoral head or the articular bearing surface. Cobalt and Chrome are excreted by the kidney.[38,39] However, our results verified that Cobalt values decreased faster than those for Chrome. This may be related to a different excretion pathway. Keegan et al.[39] described that Cobalt is rapidly excreted by the kidney 12

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT whereas Chrome is concentrated in the epithelial cells of the proximal renal tubules. This may explain a slower excretion and serum level decrease of Chrome. Hence, if patients show

RI PT

highly elevated ion values, especially Chrome levels may be elevated for years after revision surgery. There is still no consensus whether and at which threshold blood metal ions are toxic for patients with metal-on-metal arthroplasties. Not only local tissue reactions but also

SC

systemic side effects with cardio toxicity, neurotoxicity, terratogenic or cancerogenic effects were described previously.[39] Hence, we recommend a close clinical follow-up, measuring

NU

metal ions regularly, even when all ASR™ THA devices are removed.

MA

Randelli et al.[19] reported that patients with severe intraoperative acetabular bone loss were associated with significant higher serum ion levels. We could not confirm significant differences within patients with or without intraoperative osteolysis, pseudotumors or

PT ED

component loosening regarding pre- or postoperative ion values. There was also no difference within unilateral versus bilateral ASR™ THA. The relatively small number of bilateral cases may account for this findings. However, this results were in accordance to data published by

CE

De Smet et al.[40]. Females had significant higher postoperative Chrome values compared to

AC

the male cohort (p = 0.031). Even preoperatively Chrome was nearly twice as much for female patients in comparison to male patients. Higher metal ion values with a higher risk for ARMD for female patients due to differences in acetabular cup version angles or femoral head diameter was reported in literature several times.[15,16,41] All evaluations revealed a significant decrease of metal ions after revision surgery. This is comparable to the results published by Munro et al.[22]. Stryker et al.[20] reported a high early complication rate of 20% after revision of a heterogeneous group of metal-on-metal THA. Munro et al.[22] published major complications in at least 38% after revision of 31 Durom® MOM articulations and one ASR™ THA. In our study cohort we had one immediate major post-revision complication including a femoral nerve palsy. No re-revision procedure was necessary in this case. However, one re-revision 13

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT surgery was performed due to a late onset infection 8 months later, which can not be related to the initial revision procedure. The discrepancies within our satisfying post-revision results and

RI PT

the high complication rate reported previously[20,22] may be related to their extremely high early hip dislocation [22] or aseptic loosening rate [20,22]. A posterior approach used by Munro et al.[22] combined with different implants compared to the current study may had

SC

resulted in a higher rate of instability and consequently in a higher hip dislocation rate.[42] Additionally, a direct comparison to previous study results [20,22] is difficult due to a

NU

heterogeneous patient cohort including several different MOM implants, patients with

MA

variable degrees of osteolysis or soft-tissue lesions and different post-revision follow-up terms.

To summarize, patients even with an already revised ASR™ THA must undergo close clinical

PT ED

follow-up including regular metal ion measurement. A pain free hip or normal ion levels do not exclude ARMD. CT is a useful and fast screening tool to detect component loosening, osteolysis or soft tissue lesions. Inconspicuous imaging does not exclude ARMD. MARS

CE

MRI may be superior to detect soft tissue lesions. We recommend establishing ultrasound

AC

imaging in screening patients with metal-on-metal hip implants. An intraarticular effusion may be an initial sign for ARMD. Revision of ASR™ THA reduces blood ion levels significantly. We think that revision of a well-fixed femoral stem without any severe macroscopic trunnion damage is not necessary. In our study cohort acceptable early postrevision results were obtained. Surgeons should follow previous published guidelines to indicate revision surgery sufficiently early to end up in satisfying short-term post-revision results.
