Biomechanical model based evaluation of Total Hip Arthroplasty therapy outcome

Biomechanical reconstruction of the hip: a randomised study comparing total hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty.

We have compared the biomechanical nature of the reconstruction of the hip in conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) and surface replacement arthroplasty (SRA) in a randomised study involving 120 patients undergoing unilateral primary hip replacement. The contralateral hip was used as a control. Post-operatively, the femoral offset was significantly increased with THA (mean 5.1 mm; -2.8 to 1...

Functional Outcome Study in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the well-recognized outcome measure instruments (Medical Outcome Study Short Form-SF-36, Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index-WOMAC, McMaster Toronto Arthritis Patient Preference Disability Questionnaire-MACTAR) for patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty in Iran, with its cultural and ethnic differences and com...

Long-term Outcome of Polished Stems in Total Hip Arthroplasty

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and radiologic findings of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using cemented polished femoral stems. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 91 hips (91 patients) that had undergone primary THA with cemented polished femoral stems who were followed for at least 10 years. The mean age at surgery was 57 years (4...

Midterm outcome of total hip arthroplasty for rapidly destructive coxarthrosis.

PURPOSE To compare the midterm outcome in 12 women who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) for rapidly destructive coxarthrosis (RDC) and in 12 controls who underwent THA for osteoarthritis. METHODS Records of 12 women aged 50 to 80 (mean, 72.3) years who underwent THA for RDC after a mean of 9 (range, 4-11) months since symptom onset were reviewed. They were compared with 12 age-and sex-m...
