Can data from the Danish Hip
Arthroplasty Register show any risk
or benifit of NSAID’s on implant
survival?

Conclusions
• NSAIDs reduced the risk for revision of the
cemented THA due to any reason and
aseptic loosening
• Cemented THA
– Use NSAID’s as painkillers and for prevention of
ectopic bone formation for at least 7 days after
surgery: Reduction of risk for revision
• Cementless THA
– Caution for using NSAID’s in clinical doses
postoperatively should be taken due to increased risk
for revision
Thank you for your attention
Non-cemented implants
• NSAID inhibits the osteoblasts
• Osteoblasts are needed for promoting
early fixation of the implant
• Primary fixation weakened when
osteoblast are inhibited due to
treatment with NSAID
Cemented implants
• NSAID inhibits the osteoclasts
• Cemented implants are immediate well fixed
due the macro-texture between cement and
bone
• If bone resorption takes place in the early
postoperative period it may increase
periprostetic bone resorption
• NSAID treatment during the early
postoperative period will inhibit this
resorption – and therefore reduce the risk for
aseptic loosening
Draw-backs
• Results are based on register data with its limitations
(validation; compliance i.e.)
• The true risk for aseptic loosening may be even higher than
presented as:
– Possible NSAID treated cases are positioned in the group ”Not
treated”
– Pain treatment not recorded
