BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with hypoplastic femurs presents a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons due to the limited space available for implant placement. Therefore, the extra-small femoral stems have been proposed as a solution to this problem, but there are limited data on the outcomes. We aimed to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of THA in patients with extremely hypoplastic femurs using the Bencox CM stem (Corentec), an extra-small femoral stem.
METHODS: We included 6 hips from 4 patients. The mean age of the patients was 41.2 years (range, 19.6-60.4 years). The mean height was 135.1 cm (range, 113.6-150.0 cm) with a mean body mass index of 25.7 kg/m2 (range, 21.3-31.1 kg/m2). The diagnoses for THA were sequelae of septic arthritis in childhood, pseudoachondroplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Preoperative computed tomography scans were conducted to assess the extent of proximal femoral hypoplasia. The clinical outcomes were assessed using the modified Harris Hip Score, while the radiological outcomes were evaluated using radiographs. The mean follow-up was 2.3 years (range, 1.0-5.9 years).
RESULTS: The average modified Harris Hip Score improved to 88.8 at the final follow-up. Intraoperative femoral fractures occurred in 2 cases (33.3%). During the follow-up, 1 stem underwent varus tilting from postoperative 6 weeks to 6 months without subsidence. Otherwise, all stems showed good osteointegration at the latest follow-up. No hip dislocations, periprosthetic joint infection, or loosening of the prosthesis occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of extra-small femoral stems in THA for extremely hypoplastic femurs can provide reasonable clinical and radiological outcomes with minimal complications. We suggest that this femoral stem could be a viable option for patients with extremely hypoplastic femurs.
