چکیده

OBJECTIVE 39 sets of preoperative hip X-rays were studied to find out whether Chinese patients need revision femoral components with a different shape and size from western patients. METHODS From July 1998 to June 2001, the pre-revision X-rays of 39 revision total hip replacements among 38 Chinese patients (21 men and 17 women) were studied. The component size that produced the best distal canal-filling in the anteroposterior X-ray was determined by using templates of 200-mm femoral components used commonly for Caucasian patients. RESULTS The diameter of the component needed was 13.5 mm or less in 54% of cases, compared with only 17% for Caucasian patients as reported in the literature (p<0.01). When lateral templates of the corresponding size were put over the lateral X-rays, the anterior cortex of the 200-mm straight stem was shown to have thinned by 2.0 mm or more in 36% of hips; for 200-mm bowed stem, there was thinning of the anterior cortex by 2.0 mm or more in only 5% of hips (p<0.01). CONCLUSION Chinese patients are likely to need smaller femoral components than Caucasian patients, and may benefit from bowed-stem components in femoral revision.

Hip Arthroplasty and its Revision in a Child: Case Report and Literature Review

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the leading cause of hip replacement in young children. However, arthroplasty in this population is challenging with several concerns about quality of the growing bone, young age for revision surgery, and difficulties in potential several revisions. In this study we introduce a case of a 12-year old who is one of the youngest patients to undergo revision hip art...
