Background: Aseptic loosening of the acetabular component remains one of the leading causes of early failure of total hip arthroplasty. Poor apposition of bone onto the implant surface can be due to inaccurate reaming and osteonecrosis of the acetabular bone due to the heat generated while reaming. Methods: New and used acetabular reamers were tested on an MTS system using a clinically relevant force of 87.6 N. A thermal profile and depth achieved by the reamers were analyzed and compared between the 2 cohorts. Heat generated and force required for the community used reamers to achieve the same depth as the new reamers were subsequently analyzed. Results: The new reamers achieved a depth 3.4 mm deeper than the community reamers (P < .001). The new reamers generated 4.1°C less heat than the community reamers (P = .007) under the same force and time. When programmed to ream to the average depth of the new reamers, the community reamers generated 16.8°C more heat (P = .002) and required forces 95-318% greater than the 87.6 N force used by the new reamers. Conclusions: Community use of reamers will cause variations in depth of penetration and increased temperatures at a clinically generated force vs new reamers. When community reamers were forced to the same depths the new reamers achieved, a significantly greater amount of heat was generated, and an increased amount of time was needed, both of which are known risk factors for osteonecrosis. |
