Total Hip Arthroplasty with Biomec Prosthesis: 20-year Follow-up.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes from total hip arthroplasty using the Biomec prosthesis over a 20-year period (1988 to 2009). METHODS The patients were evaluated clinically in accordance with the Merle d'Aubigné and Postel functional classification, and underwent anteroposterior (AP) radiography of the pelvis and the operated joint in lateral view. The variables ev...

Local Infiltration Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Control following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review

Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) is an analgesic technique that has gained popularity since it was first brought to widespread attention by Kerr and Kohan in 2008. The technique involves the infiltration of a large volume dilute solution of a long-acting local anesthetic agent, often with adjuvants (e.g., epinephrine, ketorolac, an opioid), throughout the wound at the time of surgery. The ana...

High-volume Local Infiltration Analgesia in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Total hip arthroplasty in patients younger than 21 years: a minimum, 10-year follow-up.

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the function, radiographic results and implant survival in patients younger than 21 years at the time of operation and with at least a 10-year follow-up, we reviewed the course of young adults who underwent total hip arthroplasty at McGill University Health Centre. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve patients (16 hips) met the criteria for inclusion in this study. They ranged...
