35. A fit and well 74-year-old gentleman had a revi-
sion THA 7 months ago for aseptic loosening of a 25-year-old Charnley THA. He presents with a week of thigh pain and mild systemic upset. CRP is 350 and an aspirate reveals frank pus in the joint.
What is the most suitable management?
A. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant
retention
B. Excision arthroplasty C. Single stage revision
D. Suppressive antibiotics E. Two stage revision
36. When examining for contractures around the
hip, which eponymous test is performed by lying the patient supine, and abducting the affected hip as far as possible, then assessing if more abduction is possible when the knee is flexed?

HIP I STRUCTURED SBA ANSWERS
1. Answer E. Zone 7
Iliopsoas originates from the anterior and inferior aspects of the transverse processes of L1–L5 and the bodies and discs of T12–L5. It inserts into the lesser trochanters and is innervated by direct fibres from the lumbar plexus (L1/L2/L3). It acts as a flexor of the hip.
Gruen zones are used to describe areas of loosening around a femoral stem. Zone 1 relates to the greater trochanter, zone 7 the lesser trochanter and zones 6 and 5, and zones 2 and 3 on the medial and lateral aspects of the femur, respectively. Zone 4 is at the tip of the stem (Figure 3.6).

2. Answer C. Large BMI >35 male under 65 years
An important indication of hip resurfacing is patients with pre-existing metalwork in the medullary canal of the femur which precludes a metaphyseal stem. Advantages of a hip resurfacing over a THA include increased stability due to a larger head size, preservation of femoral head and neck bone stock, simpler femoral revision, lower mortality and the potential of a more normal gait pattern and participation in high-demand activities.
After high-profile failures including certain implants the most suitable patient group to benefit from resurfacing is being redefined, but it is gen­erally considered to be most suitable for younger, larger male patients.

3. Answer E. Stand on one leg
The superior gluteal nerve is at risk during deep dissection in the direct lateral approach to the hip. The fibres of gluteus medius are split from the middle of the greater trochanter proximally. If the split is continued more than 3–5cm proximal to the trochanter there is risk of nerve damage. The super­ior gluteal nerve originates from the lumbosacral plexus with contribution from nerve roots L4–S1 and innervates gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fascia lata. Weakness will manifest clin­ically during Trendelenburg test or hip abduction.
4. Answer E. First year, once at 7 years and three yearly thereafter
ODEP 10Aor 10A* rated hip resurfacing devices are the MatOrtho Adept Resurfacing Head (48–58mm) and Smith & Nephew Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Head (48–62mm). It is recommended that they be followed up during the first year, once at 7 years and three yearly thereafter. Patients at risk of adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) (female patients, males with femoral components smaller than 48mm and those with a DePuy ASR implant) should be reviewed annually for as long as the device is implanted. Those not at risk but symptomatic should also be seen annually. Other implants in asymptomatic patients not at risk should be seen annually for the first 5 years, two yearly to 10 years, and then three yearly thereafter.

5. Answer A. Avascular necrosis Garden classified femoral neck fractures into four types depending on the degree of displacement seen on an anteroposterior radiograph. Type I are incomplete fractures, type II are complete but non-displaced fractures, type III are complete and partially displaced fractures and type IV are com­plete and fully displaced.
Young patients with Garden II neck of femur fractures would most commonly be managed with closed reduction and fixation with either cannulated hip screws or an alternate device, unless the patient

had significant comorbiditie s making an arthroplasty with a lower risk of reoperation a better option.
Leg length discrepancy, sciatic nerve palsy injury and Trendelenburg gait would all be com­plications of THR.

6. Answer B. Sartorius
The direct anterior approach (DAA) to the hip is performed with the aim of reducing muscle damage, length of stay, pain and complication rate. A fracture table with specific attachments is used by some to assist in femoral exposure.
There is a risk of damageto the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.This nervearises fromthe lumbar plexus, or more rarely the femoral nerve itself, and travels through the pelvis on the iliacus muscle. It enters the thigh under the inguinal ligament at a point anywhere between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the midinguinal point. The nerve then pierces the fascia lata medial and inferior to the ASIS. From here, the nerve takes a variable course but most commonly the medial border of sartorius.

artery and vein. However, because of the more medial position of the vein with respect to the artery and the paucity of interposed tissue along the pelvic brim, the external iliac vein was more in danger of injury than was the artery.
Screws originating from the anterior inferior
quadrant were directed toward the obturator nerve and vascular structures. This is most evident at the superolateral aspect of the obturator fora­men, where the nerve, artery, and vein exit the true pelvis through the obturator canal.
When an anatomical variant was present (the aberrant obturator artery or accessory obturator vein) these vessels were even more susceptible to injury. The accessory or aberrant obturator vessels travel across a section of the pelvic brim (located just opposite the anterior inferior quadrant) with little interposed soft tissue. This section of the osseous acetabulum is thin (6–12 mm), which increases the possibility of vascular injury.
Screws that are located centrally in the poster- ior superior quadrant may be directed toward the superior gluteal nerve, artery and vein as they exit the pelvis through the greater sciatic notch.
Screws that are located centrally in the poster- ior inferior quadrant are directed toward the inferior gluteal and internal pudendal nerves and vessels. These structures are rarely endangered, due to surrounding intrapelvic tissue and their distance from the posterior column.
7. Answer A. External iliac vessels
This SBA topic is of significant practical importance and is also frequently asked in viva examinations.
The posterior superior and posterior inferior acetabular quadrants contain the best available bone stock and are relatively safe for the transacetabular placement of screws.The anterior superior and ante r­ior inferior quadrants should be avoided whenever possible, because screws placed improperly in these quadrants may endanger the external iliac artery and vein, as well as the obturator nerve, artery, and vein.
The acetabular-quadrant system provides the surgeon with a simple intraoperative guide to the safe transacetabular placement of screws during primary and revision acetabular arthroplasty. A constant rela­tionship was found to exist between specific acetab­ular quadrants and specific intrapelvic structures.
Screws originating from the anterior superior quadrant were found to lie near the external iliac

The acetabular-quadrant system. The quad­rants are formed by the intersection of lines A and B. Line A extends from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) through the centre of the acet­abulum to the posterior aspect of the fovea, divid­ing the acetabulum in half. Line B is drawn perpendicular to line A at the mid-point of the acetabulum, dividing it into four quadrants.
8. Answer B. Cementless stem
Intraoperative Vancouver A2 fractures are non­displaced fractures of the proximal metaphysis. All answers are associated with an increased relative risk of calcar fracture, but cementless stems give the greatest relative risk (RR) (RR = 3.8). Age 11–49 RR = 1.5, female sex RR = 1.9, paediatric disease RR = 2.6, previous trauma RR = 3.6.
9. Answer D. Total hip arthroplasty
Avascular necrosis of the hip is predominantly idiopathic but may be associated with alcohol abuse, steroid use, hypercoagulability, Caissonsdiseaseand sickle cell disease. Treatment options depend upon the clinical and radiographic stage (Ficat, Steinberg) of the disease and age/comorbidities of the patient. The relatively conservative options listed would be options in younger patients or those with earlier stages of disease. Once any significant amount of collapse has occurred in a patient over 40, the most likely option is an arthroplasty procedure.

(functional pelvic plane) rotates this plane according to an individuals pelvic tilt. It is con­sidered a more accurate reference plane for assess­ing acetabular component position. PI (pelvic incidence) is the angle between two lines: one from the centre of the femoral head to the centre of the S1endplate,andasecondperpendiculartoaline across the S1 end plate, intersecting the centre of the end plate. SPT (spinopelvic tilt) is the angle between a line from the centre of the S1 end plate and the centre of the segment between the two femoral heads (the bicoxofemoral axis), and the vertical. SS (sacral slope) is the angle between two lines: one parallel to the S1 end plate, and a second along a horizontal reference plane.

11. Answer A. Cemented dual mobility THA
The Dorr classificationdependsupontheratio between the inner canal diameter at the level of the midpoint of the lesser trochanter and a point 10cm belowthat.DorrCfemursasdefinedasaratio >0.75 are most suitable for a cemented prosthesis. A patient with significant risk of dislocation and a grossly displaced NOF fracture would be a good candidate for a dual-mobility acetabular component.
Our preferred choice in view of the patients
young age (55 years) would be for a dual motion hydrid THA (cup being uncemented). A cemented dual motion cup would be at risk of medium term failure. The possibility of using a hybrid THA dual motion THA was not given in the options.
10. Answer D. SPT (spinopelvic tilt)
Increasingly, the relationship between the spine, hip and knee is assessed and considered in how it may affect the functionality and stability of a THR as the patient moves from lying to standing and from sitting to standing. All options can be measured radiographically to this end.
APPt (anterior pelvi c plane tilt) refers to the rotation of the pelvis in the sagittal plane as measured by the angle formed between the cor­onal plane and a line from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to pubic symphysis.
The APP (anterior or anatomical pelvic plane) is defined by the pubic symphysis and the two anterior superior iliac spines. The FPP
12. Answer B. 5° external rotation, 5° adduction, 25° flexion
This is the most appropriate position of hip fusion.
13. Answer D. Sciatic nerve The position of greatest risk of dislocation for a posterior approach THA is flexion and internal rotation. The structure most at risk during this approach is the sciatic nerve.
14. Answer D. Periprosthetic femur fracture The radiograph shows a loose Charnley femoral stem which is close to fracturing through the posterior cortex of the femur (Figure 3.6). The THA may be infected but the fact that the
37

acetabulum does not look loose goes against this. Pseudotumour formation is associated with metal­on-metal bearing couples.
15. Answer E. Placement of posterolateral portal
By far the most common direct nerve injury resulting from hip arthroscopy portal placement is of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve when placing or working through the anterior portal. Sciatic nerve injury causing a foot drop is a rare compli­cation of posterolateral portal placement, made more likely by placing the leg in external rotation.

16. Answer B. 36mm versus 32mm head
Scenarios of hip instability are regularly asked in the Part 1 paper. It is an extremely important topic as surgeons need to know how to deal with an on table unstable hip.
The primary arc of hip motion is the range that the hip can move before the neck impinges upon the acetabulum and is an important determin­ant of THA stability. A lipped or angled liner may improve stability by increasing coverage but actually decreases the primary arc of motion and, in this instance, may make anterior dislocation more likely by causing posterior impingement levering the hip out of joint. A high offset stem or lateralised liner will not alter the primary arc of movement but may improve stability by moving the femoral neck away from impinging soft tissues or osteo­phytes (potential to the detriment of proper restor­ation of hip biomechanics). A skirted head (asfound on the longer lengths) decreases the primary arc. A bigger head size increases the impingement-free range of motion and jumping distance of THA (Sariali et al. 2009).

angle, femoral head offset, and head diameter. Acta Orthop. 2009;80:277282.
17. Answer E. Revision arthroplasty
All the options are valid in managing the infected joint replacement. Patients not sufficiently fit to do well with further significant or poten tially multiple procedures can be managed with culture-specific, long-term suppressive antibiot­ics or an excision arthroplasty, if the infection is not able to be suppressed or the patient is unable to take long-term antibiotics.
The success rates of DAIR (debridement, anti-
biotics, and implant retention) procedures vary enormously in the literature, from 11–100%.
The success rate is correlated with type of organism (Streptococcus species tend to do better), exchange of modular components and time from procedure in early infection, or time from first presentation of symptoms in late infection.
An older patient with long duration of symp­toms is less likely to have successful infection eradication with a DAIR so may be best served with a one- or two-stage revision procedure depending upon the infecting organism and the surgeons preference.

18. Answer E. Three 1 500cGy radiotherapy doses
Heterotopic ossification (HO) following THA occurs with an incidence of 5–90% and is associ­ated with the risk factors of male sex, history of previous HO, older age, previous hip fusion, hypertrophic OA, ankylosing spondylitis, post­traumatic OA, Pagets disease, osteonecrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
It is classified according to the Brooker clas­sification according to the extent of heterotopic bone formation on an AP radiograph.
Prophylaxis can be considered for patients at high risk of HO and the main forms are

erotopic ossification following lower limb arthro­plasty. J Bone Joint Surg Br.2007;89:434–440.
19. Answer D. Tonnis angle
The following are measured during the radio­graphic assessment of patients with symptoms of femoroacetabular impingement:
The Tonnis angle (also called the acetabular index or acetabular roof angle) is the angle between the horizontal and a tangential line from the medial to the lateral sourcil (weight bearing zone of the acetabulum).
Alpha angle is measured on a Dunn view by drawing a line from the centre of the narrowest point of the femoral neck to the centre of the femoral head using a best-fit circle. The angle is between the line down the axis of the femoral neck and a line drawn to the location where the femoral head becomes out of round.
The lateral centre edge angle (of Wiberg) is the angle betw een a line drawn from the centre of the femoral head to the lateral edge of the acet­abulum and a second line that is parallel to the longitudinal pelvic axis.
Sharps angle, or acetabular angle, is the angle between a horizontal line drawn throug h the teardrops and a line drawn from the teardrop to the lateral acetabular roof.
The vertical centre edgeangle is measured from a false profile radiograph and is between a vertical line through the centre of the femoral head and a line from the centre of the femoral head to the anterior-most point on the acetabulum.

20. Answer C. Phelps test
Phelps test assesses gracilis tightness. Elystest assesses rectus femoris tightness. Obers test assesses
tightness of the tensor fascia lata. Thomastest assesses fixed flexion of the hip. Trendelenburg test assesses hip abductor dysfunction.
21. Answer C. Flexion to 90°, adduction, in-line traction, then internal rotation
Leadbetter described a technique in 1939 to aid in the reduction of intracapsular neck of femur fractures. The limb is flexed to relax the muscu­lature around the hip and then internal rotation functions to relax the ligamentous structures. From the above position, further flexion and adduction open the fracture, allowing reduction to be achieved by maintaining traction while bringing the limb into extension with slight abduction and continued internal rotation.
22. Answer A. Excessive anteversion The Hartofilakidis classification recognises three types of congenital hip disease in adults: type A – dysplasia, type B – low dislocation, and type C – high dislocation. In type A disease, the femoral head remains within the original acetabulum. In type B, it articulates with a false acetabulum which partially covers the original acetabulum. In type C, the femoral head has migrated superiorly and posteriorly to the hypoplastic original acetabulum. Adult hip dysplasia is most commonly associated with excessive femoral anteversion.
23. Answer A. Ceramic on ceramic Figure 3.4 (see Questions section) represents the scratch profile of ceramic.
Revision surgery for fractured or damaged cer­amic components requires thorough debridement and removal of ceramic fragments. Revision with metal heads should be avoided and ceramic com­ponents used wherever possible. Trunnions that are damaged need to be replaced, but if only minimal damage exists; then a ceramic head with a titanium liner or trunnion adapter can be used.

radiographically when the medial aspect of the femoral head projects beyond the ilioischial (Kohlers) line. Though sometimes idiopathic, acetabular protrusion is more usually associated with inflammatory arthropathies, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and Pagets disease. When per­forming THR, care must be taken to lateralise the medialised hip centre.
25. Answer A. Book for emergency surgery
Nerve dysfunction following THR may be a result of intraoperative compression from retractors, traction injury secondary to manipulation or lengthening.
If noted in the immediate postoperative period, tension can be taken off the sciatic nerve by nursing the patient with the knee in flexion.
Progressive, painful sciatic nerve dysfunction should raise the suspicion of compression from haematoma. This is associated with patients of lower mass, and with anticoagulant use. Improved outcomes are associated with prompt exploration and evacuation of haematoma.

operative haematoma in primary total hip replace­ment. J Bone Joint Surg Br.2005;87:1465–1467.

1):46–49.
26. Answer B. 125° versus 135° neck–shaft angle implant
A longer femoral head length and incomplete inser­tion of an uncemented femoral stem will lengthen the patient. A larger sized femoral stem or increased offset stem will not generally change leg length.
27. Answer: D. Staphylococcus aureus
Outcomes of DAIR procedures are dictated by many surgical and patient factors. Unsurprisingly, age, frailty, immunity, diabetes, and nutritional status are all associated with chances of a successful DAIR procedure. Paramount to success are a radical debridement and exchange of modular components (to reduce biofilm and remove the fibrin layer between components that supports infection). Most studies suggest a lower chance of infection eradication with staphylococcal, and especially MRSA, infection.
Staphylococcus aureus or coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most common causative pathogens of PJI, accounting for approximately two-thirds of all cases. Despite gradually improving success rates for DNIR over the years, the reported outcome of staphylococcal PJI is still heterogeneous, ranging from 23–90%.
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) such as S. epidermidis can be divided into methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylo­cocci (MRSE) and methicillin-susceptible coagu­lase-negative staphylococci (MSSE).
Scheper H et al. in a meta-analysis on the success rates with DNIR for PJI reported consid­erably better results for hip and coagulase nega­tive staphylococci (CNS) PJI than for knee and S. aureus PJI. Success rates of MRSA and MSSA PJI after DAIR were similar.
Coagulase-negative staphylococcus bacteria represent a concerning cohort of increasingly common and decr easingly treatment-susceptible pathogens in PJI. Both biofilm production and avidity towards antibiotic resistance acquisition enhance the virulence of CNS.
Methicillin-resistance is not decisive for viru­lence, but methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains often express a higher level of virulence factors that facilitate their survival and spread.
In summary, literature is confusing and often non-committal. The approach shared by many PJI revision groups, is to go for a DAIR ASAP whenever they are confident that they are dealing with an acute PJI, regardless of the pathogen. A speedy response combined with the experience of the surgeon per­forming the DAIR and a good MDT support are probably more important factors when it comes to achieving a successful outcome than the pathogen.

28. Answer: D. Benchmark revision rate less than 1 in 20 at 10 years
ODEP (Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel) is an independent group of clinical and non-clinical experts who invite implant manufacturers to supply data regarding their implants. The data are assessed and an ODEP rating is awarded (or not). The number, 3, 5, 7, 10 (full compliance with NICE benchmark), 13 or 15, signifies the number of years of data available. Asignifies strong evidence, Bacceptable strength of evi­dence. A *is awarded for an implant revision rate of less than 1 in 20 (5%) at 10 years. The Beyond Compliance initiative is a post-market surveillance service supported by ODEP. Implants registered with The National Joint Registry and being evalu­ated through Beyond Compliance are recognised with the rating ‘Pre-entry A*’.
29. Answer B. Elevated ESR (serum) The 2018 criteria are a development of the 2011 definitions and have higher sensitivity (97.7%) and specificity (99.5%) for the diagnosi s of peri­prosthetic joint infection. A diagnosis is made either with one major criterion being met (two positive cultures of the same organism, or a sinus tract with evidence of communication to the joint or visualisation of the prosthesis), or a score of equal or greater than 6 from minor criteria. An elevated CRP or D-dimer (serum) scores 2, an elevated ESR (serum) scores only 1, an ele­vated synovial PMN (%) (synovial) scores 2, an elevated synovial WBC count or LE (Leucocyte esterase) (synovial) sco res 3, and a positive alpha­defensin (synovial) scores 3.

31. Answer A. Iatrogenic injury
Intra-prosthetic dislocation is a complication unique to dual mobility (DM) designs where the larger diameter polyethylene bearing becomes detached from the smaller diameter metal or ceramic bearing: the most common cause is likely to be iatrogenic, when closed reduction of a dislocated dual mobility THR is attempted, and the outer bearing is levered off the acetabular component dislocat­ing it from the inner bearing: the so-called bottle-openereffect. Modular DM implants maybemorepronetofailurethrough other mechanisms. Non-highly crosslinked polyethylene bear ings are more prone to later intra-prosthetic dislocation. Skirted heads and smaller diameter heads are less likely to be associated with early intra-prosthetic dislocation.

location in dual-mobility implants: a systematic review. Arthroplasty Today 2017;3:197–202.
32. Answer D. Multiple emboli
Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome (BCIS) is a rare, potentially fatal, complication of surgery using bone cement. Its aetiology is incompletely understood and likely to be multi-factorial. The m ost likely causative mech­anism is the creation of emboli of marrow, bone, cement, air, platelet-aggregates, due to the high intra-medullary pressures generated whilst cementing, and especially, inserting the prosthesis. These emboli have mechanical and mediator induced effects.

ation syndrome. AANA J. 2018;
33. Answer: C Hydrogen peroxide
There is no clear evidence to support the use of one irrigation solution over another. These solutions may be effective in breaking down bio­film in established infection and preventing infection in primary joint replacements by redu­cing bacterial burden prior to wound closure. One ml of hydrogen peroxide produces 10 ml of oxygen, and there have been reports of fatal complications relating to air emboli when used in enclosed anatomical spaces, such as the fem­oral canal.

34. Answer B. Long, fully coated uncemented stem
The radiograph shows a loose femoral stem with extensive metaphyseal bone loss and more than 4cm of intact diaphysis. This could be classified as Paposky Type 3A. The most suit­able revision would be to a long uncemented, extensively coated stem that could be modular or non-modular. A cement-in-cement revision would require an intact proximal cement-bone interface. A primary cemented stem would require an intact metaphysis. A proximal femur replacement would be more suitable for 3B and 4 defects. Removal of cement and a long­cemented stem is associated with less favour­able outcomes.

35. Answer A. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention
Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention is an established treatment for infections in pri­mary joint replacements, but also has similar indications in revision arthroplasties. One would expect a lower chance of success in infection eradication compared with that in a primary hip or knee replacement. Factors associated with worse outcomes are delays to DAIR from start of symptoms, multiple DAIRs, antibiotic mismatch.

36. Answer E. Phelps
Phelps test evaluates for tightness in the graci lis muscle (adductor). The patient lies supine and the affected hip is abducted as far as possible. The knee is then flexed over the side of the couch. If more abduction is possible by flexing the knee (and relaxing the gracilis) then this signifies that the gracilis is tight.
Bryant described an anatomical triangle useful
in the assessment of limb length inequality.
Ely described a test for rectus femoris tight­ness. Passive flexion of the knee in the presence of a tight rectus femoris leads to ipsilateral but­tock rising.
Ober described a test for contracture of the fascia lata or iliotibial band. The patient lies on the unaffected side. The affected hip is flexed and abducted 45°. This hip is then slow ly extended. Normally in bringing the hip into extension, it will be possible to adduct the hip to the midline. In the presence of a tight iliotibial band, the leg remains abducted.
Patrick described a test to distinguish between pain originating from the sacroiliac joint versus the posterior hip. The patient lies supine while placing the ipsilateral foot on the contralateral knee – the figure of four position. The examiner places one hand on the flexed knee and the other on the ASIS of the contralateral side and presses gently downwards on the flexed knee.
