Ischio-femoral arthrodesis of the hip by posterior open approach.

Ischio-femoral arthrodesis by the posterior approach.

Ischio-femoral arthrodesis of the hip in tuberculosis; an anterior approach.

The operation to be described here is a modification of the ischio-femorai arthrodesis described by Brittain (1942). It is performed through an anterior incision, deepened so as to expose the upper part of the shaft of the femur and the ischium. Iliac bone grafts are inserted under direct vision. The evolution of this method of fusing the hip for tuberculous artilritis will be described briefly...

Ischio-femoral Arthrodesis for Tuberculosis of the Hip.

Brittain described a method of ischio-femoral arthrodesis in 1941, and in 1948 reported successful fusion in eighty-four of 105 hips. Comparable figures were reported by Freiberg (1946) in six cases, by Foley (1949) in nineteen cases and by Cholmeley (1956) in fifty-five cases. The purpose of this paper is to review the cases of sixty-four patients who underwent arthrodesis of the hip at Wright...

Analysis of Thirty-six Cases of Ischio-femoral Arthrodesis by the Trumbl Technique

In 1932 Trumble described “ A method of fixation of the hip joint b ’ means of all extra-articular bone graft,” and reported three cases, all with successful results. In a late’r paper (1937) he reported five further cases: four were successful, hut in one the graft faile’d to fuse with the ischium, allowing slight though painless movement at the hip joint. Four subsequent operations were all s...

Posterior Hip Fracture -Dislocation Associated with Ipsilateral Intertrochantric Fracture; a Rare Case Report

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...
