Serum alkaline phosphatase in heterotopic para-articular ossification after total hip replacement.
نویسنده
چکیده
Estimations of serum alkaline phosphatase were carried out prospectively on a series of patients having a total hip replacement. The levels of serum alkaline phosphatase before operation indicated a group of patients who subsequently developed heterotopic ossification. Levels of this enzyme after operation did not indicate those patients who were developing heterotopic ossification.

Heterotopic ossification in patients with hip osteoarthritis below forty years old after total hip replacement.
BACKGROUND Even though heterotopic ossification (HO) is most often asymptomatic in patients after total hip replacement (THR), it remains a serious problem in orthopaedics as it is observed in nearly all operated patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The article presents a pre- and post-operative retrospective analysis of heterotopic ossification based on radiographic evidence. The study involved 7...
متن کاملInfluence of fluvastatin on bone formation induced by demineralized bone matrix in mice.
In the last decade, statins became widely used drugs in hypercholesterolemia treatment. Several studies have demonstrated that statins may also be successfully administered in the treatment of osteoporosis. There are, however, no reports regarding the effect of statins on heterotopic ossification (HO). In this paper, we examined the influence of fluvastatin on heterotopically induced bone forma...
متن کاملCelecoxib versus ibuprofen in the prevention of heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement: a prospective randomised trial.
We examined whether a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (celecoxib) was as effective as a non-selective inhibitor (ibuprofen) for the prevention of heterotopic ossification following total hip replacement. A total of 250 patients were randomised to receive celecoxib (200 mg b/d) or ibuprofen (400 mg t.d.s) for ten days after surgery. Anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis were exa...
متن کاملHeterotopic ossification in patients after total hip replacement.
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is defined as pathological bone formation in soft tissues, for example in muscles, where physiologically there is no osseous tissue present. It is one of the most common complications of total hip joint replacement surgery. A wide variety of risk factors for heterotopic ossification have been identified to date. Almost 90% of total hip arthroplasty patients are at ...
متن کاملExtensive Surgical Wound Lavage Reduces the Incidence and Severity of Heterotopic Ossification in Primary Total Hip Replacement: A Study of 175 Hip Replacements
Purpose One of the local factors contributing to the formation of heterotopic ossification includes bone debris generated during the surgery. This risk can be partially nullified by use of saline wash. Our research aim was to ascertain if extensive intraoperative lavage can reduce the incidence and severity of heterotopic ossification in primary total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods A...
