Abstract

OBJECTIVE: CLS stem is commonly used today in primary hip arthroplasty, but only a few studies have evaluated their outcome in young high demanding patients. In Indian scenario, many patients require squatting and sitting cross-legged as part of their daily activities placing excessive load on the joint. We evaluated (I) Mid-long term functional and radiological results (II) Influence of age, gender, diagnosis, stem alignment, Canal fill index (CFI) on the outcome (III) Kaplan-Meier survivorship using revision for any reason or for aseptic loosening as an endpoint.

METHODS: Retrospective evaluation of 64 THA in 54 patients operated between July 2000 to July 2011 using CLS stem was done. Mean follow-up was 10.3 years (5-14.9 years) with 5 patients lost to follow-up and 4 patients died. Mean age at surgery was 46.8 years (18-78 years).

RESULTS: Mean Harris hip score was 89.4 (72-100). Thigh pain was present in 4 hips which were not associated with the sizing of the stem (p = .489). Stable fixation by bony ingrowth was seen in 53 hips (96.4%) and by fibrous ingrowth in 2 cases (3.6%) with no case of loosening seen. Stress shielding was seen as Grade II in 17 hips (30.9%), Grade III in 3 hips (5.4%). Pedestal formation was seen in 9 hips (16.4%) which were statistically associated with varus alignment and CFI < 80. No stem revision was performed with stem survivorship of 100%.

CONCLUSION: The mid-term survival rates and good clinical-radiological outcomes of CLS stem in high demanding Indian population were excellent.
