Hip abductor moment arm - a mathematical analysis for proximal femoral replacement
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing proximal femoral replacement for tumor resection often have compromised hip abductor muscles resulting in a Trendelenberg limp and hip instability. Commercially available proximal femoral prostheses offer several designs with varying sites of attachment for the abductor muscles, however, no analyses of these configurations have been performed to determine which de...
متن کاملSalvage of failed total hip arthroplasty with proximal femoral replacement.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES As a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to: 1. Identify the available types of reconstruction for failed total hip arthroplasty. 2. Summarize the preoperative workup of patients with failed total hip arthroplasty and massive proximal femoral bone loss. 3. Assess the surgical technique of proximal femoral replacement for failed total hip arthroplasty...
متن کاملFunction of reinserted abductor muscles after femoral replacement.
We compared two methods of reconstruction of the abductor mechanism in 15 patients after prosthetic replacement of the upper femur, to assess abductor strength and function. Six patients in group I had direct fixation of the gluteus medius tendon and a segment of the original bone to the prosthesis. Nine patients in group 2 had the abductor tendon fixed to the iliotibial band. We assessed clini...
متن کاملModular proximal femoral replacement in salvage hip surgery for non-neoplastic conditions.
Addressing severe proximal femoral bone loss in revision hip surgery is a challenging reconstructive problem. The use of modular proximal femoral megaprostheses is one of many available options to address this. This is a retrospective review of 15 patients who had undergone limb salvage at our institution using a modular proximal femoral replacement. There were 8 males and 7 females with a mean...
متن کاملProximal femoral allograft-prosthesis composites in revision hip replacement: a 12-year follow-up study.
We report the use of an allograft prosthetic composite for reconstruction of the skeletal defect in complex revision total hip replacement for severe proximal femoral bone loss. Between 1986 and 1999, 72 patients (20 men, 52 women) with a mean age of 59.9 years (38 to 78) underwent reconstruction using this technique. At a mean follow-up of 12 years (8 to 20) 57 patients were alive, 14 had died...
