Metal-on-metal dysplasia cup total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip

Comparing the Quality of Life Before and After Total Hip Arthroplasty Operation in Patients With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Purpose: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) increases the risk of secondary degenerative changes and subsequent total hip arthroplasty. The postoperative quality of life in patients with DDH who have been born and grown with this disability and adapted to it during the life, is one of the most challenging issues. This study aimed to compare the quality of life of patients with DDH before ...

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. The mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic DD...

Outcome of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Total hip replacement for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Total hip arthroplasty relieves pain and improves function for many patients with endstage arthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip. Acetabular dysplasia, however, presents a special problem for total hip reconstruction in these patients. Structural bone grafting with femoral head autografting to the dysplastic acetabulum and cementing acetabular components into the graft provi...

Painful metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.

Two patients were evaluated for the possibility of hypersensitivity to a Metasul articulation (Centerpulse, Austin, Tex) coupled with total hip arthroplasty. Serum was tested with a lymphocyte proliferation assay, and the capsular tissues from the hip were examined for perivascular lymphocytes. The diagnosis of hypersensitivity to Metasul could not be confirmed in these patients, and ultimately...
