A clinical study of revision in total hip replacement and universal hip replacement.

Osteotomy for Revision Total Hip Replacement

Discussion. We previously reported bone and fat levels some I 2 times higher than those after systemic injection (Hoddinott et al 1990) and have now extended our sampling to provide a pharmacokinetic profile over the important 24 hours after operation (Fig. 1). The results indicate that the regional intravenous administration of a single 750 mg dose of cefuroxime gave satisfactory haematoma lev...

Reconstruction of the Acetabulum in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Total Hip Replacement

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) or congenital hip dysplasia (CDH) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. It includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. The natural history of neglected DDH in adults is highly variable.

Total hip replacement.

Total hip replacement (THR).

The authors present history, indications and complications of total hip replacement in 206 patients in a period of 10 months. They compare the rate of complications with published data. They present pre-operative examination, prophylaxis and specific problems in their conditions.

Primary and revision total hip replacement using the Robodoc system.

The ROBODOC system was designed to address potential human errors in performing cementless total hip replacement. The system consists of a preoperative planning computer workstation (called ORTHODOC) and a five-axis robotic arm with a high speed milling device as an end effector. The combined experience of the United States Food and Drug Administration multicenter trial and the German postmarke...
