Dislocation following total hip replacement.

An analysis of 142 dislocations from a multicentre study of 6774 total hip replacements is reported. The incidence of dislocation was 2.1 per cent. Patients with neuromuscular disorder, those in a confused mental state, and those undergoing revision operations are at special risk.

Total hip replacement for juvenile chronic arthritis.

We review the results of 96 primary total hip replacements in 54 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis at five years or longer after surgery. The mean age at operation was 16.7 years (range 11.25 to 26.6); the follow-up period averaged 11.5 years. The clinical results in terms of pain, range of movement, mobility and function are presented. A revision procedure was required in 24 hips (25%) ...

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

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...

Cementless total replacement for old tuberculosis of the hip.

We report the results of cementless total joint replacement in 18 patients with old tuberculosis of the hip, performed, on average, 34 years after the onset of infection. Mean follow-up was 3.5 years. Only seven of the patients had antituberculous drugs during or after the operation. Using the Mayo hip score, 15 patients had excellent or good results and two had a fair rating. One patient had t...
