Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of 3D printing titanium trabecular metal （TTM） acetabular cups in revision of total hip arthroplasty （THA）.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on the clinical data of 24 patients （25 hips） undergoing THA revision in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from May 2016 to September 2019. There were 10 males and 14 females，aged 43-78 years ［（63.0 ± 11.4） years］. According to Paprosky classification，5 patients（5 hips） were classified as type Ⅰ，9 patients （10 hips） as type ⅡA，5 patients （5 hips） as type ⅡB，1 patient （1 hip） as type ⅡC and 4 patients （4 hips） as type ⅢC. All patients used 3D printing TTM cups. Seven patients （7 hips） were combined with 3D printing TTM pads，and 3 patients （3 hips） were combined with structural bone grafts. The visual analogue scale （VAS），Harris score and quality of life Health Survey Scale （SF-36） score were evaluated before operation，3 months after operation，12 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The X-ray film of hip joint was performed to evaluate the upward movement distance of hip center of rotation （HCOR），limb-length discrepancy （LLD） before operation，1 day after operation and at the last follow-up. The position of cups and bone ingrowth were evaluated at the last follow-up. The postoperative complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed up for 14-54 months ［（34.2 ± 9.3）months］. The VAS was （4.0 ± 0.7）points，（2.3 ± 0.8）points and （0.9 ± 0.2）points at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up，significantly lower than that preoperatively ［（6.1 ± 1.0）points］ （ P < 0.05）. A statistically significant difference was found in the pairwise comparisons of postoperative VAS at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up（ P < 0.05）. The Harris score was （64.6 ± 5.3）points，（80.5 ± 3.7）points，and （90.3 ± 3.6）points at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up，significantly higher than that preoperatively ［（38.8 ± 6.2）points］ （ P < 0.05）. A statistically significant difference was found in the pairwise comparisons of postoperative Harris score at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up（ P < 0.05）. The SF-36 score was （556.3 ± 21.9）points，（711.6 ± 15.9）points and （752.8 ± 23.0）points at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up，significantly higher than that preoperatively ［（326.3 ± 30.7）points］ （ P < 0.05）. A statistically significant difference was found in the pairwise comparisons of postoperative SF-36 score at postoperative 3 months，12 months and the last follow-up（ P < 0.05）. The upward movement distance of HCOR was （13.5 ± 2.6）mm and （13.6 ± 2.6）mm on the first day after operation and at the last follow-up，significantly lower than that preoperatively ［（34.1 ± 3.5）mm］ （ P < 0.05）. The LLD was （6.2 ± 1.8）mm and （5.3 ± 1.5）mm on the first day after operation and at the last follow-up，significantly lower than that preoperatively ［（31.6 ± 5.2）mm］ （ P < 0.05）. All the cups were stable. Good bone ingrowth was found in 23 hips. There was no postoperative complication except for one patient with poor wound healing. Conclusion:For THA revision，the use of 3D printing TTM cups can effectively relieve pain，improve hip function，provide satisfactory biological fixation and and reduce complications.
