difference is also evident when comparing the<br />

seven year cumulative percent revision for each<br />

of these procedures (4.2%, 5.4% <strong>and</strong> 5.9%<br />

respectively) (Table HG5).<br />

Thrust plate procedures, because they are quite<br />

different in design from the other types of<br />

primary hip replacement, are considered<br />

separately. Only a small number (172) of these<br />

procedures have been recorded by the Registry.<br />

The number of revisions per 100 observed<br />

component years for this procedure is 0.6 <strong>and</strong><br />

the cumulative percent revision at 7 years is<br />

3.0% (Tables HG4 <strong>and</strong> HG5).<br />

Outcome by Primary Diagnosis<br />

This year the Registry is presenting outcomes<br />

stratified by primary diagnosis for the first time.<br />

These analyses are presented for primary<br />

conventional <strong>and</strong> resurfacing <strong>to</strong>tal hip<br />

replacement only. These procedure types have<br />

been selected as enough procedures have been<br />

undertaken with a variety of different diagnoses.<br />

Primary partial hips have not been included<br />

because almost all of these have been<br />

undertaken for fractured neck of femur.<br />

The Registry has classified 11 different primary<br />

diagnoses for primary conventional <strong>to</strong>tal hip<br />

replacement (Tables HG6 <strong>and</strong> HG7 <strong>and</strong> Figure<br />

HG4). The outcomes of the five most common<br />

diagnoses were compared using osteoarthritis<br />

(OA) as the compara<strong>to</strong>r diagnosis. Fractured<br />

neck of femur, avascular necrosis (AVN) <strong>and</strong><br />

rheuma<strong>to</strong>id arthritis all have a significantly higher<br />

risk of revision compared <strong>to</strong> those undertaken for<br />

OA. There is no significant difference between<br />

OA <strong>and</strong> developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)<br />

for conventional primary <strong>to</strong>tal hip replacement.<br />

Three diagnoses were compared for primary<br />

resurfacing hip replacement (Tables HG8 <strong>and</strong><br />

HG9 <strong>and</strong> Figure HG5). Both AVN <strong>and</strong> DDH have<br />

a significantly higher risk of revision compared <strong>to</strong><br />

resurfacing procedures undertaken for OA. The<br />

five year cumulative percent revision for DDH is<br />

four times greater when a <strong>to</strong>tal resurfacing<br />

procedure is used compared <strong>to</strong> a primary<br />

conventional <strong>to</strong>tal hip replacement (12.0%<br />

compared <strong>to</strong> 3.0%).<br />
