Liner dissociation leading to catastrophic failure of an Oxinium femoral head

Abstract: Oxinium is an alternative bearing surface designed to emulate the superior wear and scratch properties of ceramic femoral heads in total hip arthroplasty while minimizing the risk for brittle fracturing. However, recent studies have indicated that hip dislocation following total hip arthroplasty may be a risk factor for catastrophic failure of the femoral head. Here, we report on a novel case of a catastrophic Oxinium head and polyethylene liner failure in the absence of previous hip dislocation or trauma and … Show more

“…Although oxidized zirconium could lengthen implant life and possibly decrease the need for revision on the basis of these studies, there is increasing evidence of accelerated wear and metallosis with oxidized zirconium THA implants after dislocation or reduction, leading to catastrophic failure [5,7,[12][13][14]21]. In addition, there have been at least 2 reports of catastrophic failure in patients with UKA secondary to dislocation of fixed polyethylene bearings [15,16].…”

“…There have been prior reports of accelerated wear and severe metallosis after dislocation of THA oxidized zirconium femoral heads and unicompartmental knee arthroplasties [7,[12][13][14][15][16]; however, this has not been described in TKA. We report a case of mechanical failure and metallosis of an oxidized zirconium TKA in a patient with knee instability.…”

“…4 El uso de cabezas femorales protésicas de oxinium ha permitido que las artroplastias tengan la efectividad de la superficie de un cerámico, con lo que se reduce de manera importante el desgaste y la producción de micropartículas sin el riesgo de fracturar la cabeza a partir de un material hecho de óxido de zirconio. 5 Otro reporte de caso comenta la progresión de metalosis en una paciente tras tres años de haberse sometido a una artroplastia total de cadera con una cabeza de oxinium, en la cual se describe que ésta puede presentar un desgaste acelerado con falla catastrófica del implante. Al ser un material más blando que la copa acetabular, la cabeza sufre una deformidad plástica importante cuando se pone en contacto con la copa, debido a que su sustrato es más blando.…”

“…En estos casos los niveles de cobalto y cromo no son de utilidad para valorar la metalosis, debido a que la cabeza femoral está hecha de zirconio. 5 La metalosis es la precipitación de partículas metálicas a la piel y tejidos producida por la corrosión y desgaste de la superficie articular protésica. Generalmente se limita a la cápsula y tejidos periprotésicos.…”
