چکیده

Purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients underwent hemiarthroplasty for proximal femoral fracture converted to total hip arthroplasty (THA).A total of 138 patients from October 2009 till October 2014 had conversion of their failed hemiarthroplasties following a proximal femoral fracture to total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Erfan and Milad hospitals, Tehran. We performed a prospective analysis of the outcome of conversion surgery in patients with failed hemiarthroplasty. The patients had clinical evaluations at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. We used Harris Hip Score (HHS) to evaluate the results of conversion procedure in terms of relief of groin pain and functional improvement.Dislocation occurred in 6 patients (4.34%). The mean period of follow-up was 42 months (range 36-60 months). HHS score improved from mean preoperative score of 44.93 ± 8.40 to 95.41 ± 2.27 at final follow-up. The survivorship analysis with revision of HHS score was 89.1%. Existence of infection (P = .038) and time of primary operation to being symptomatic (P = .009) can predict the postoperative pain significantly.THA is a safe option which can lead to good functional and short-term and mid-term outcomes; and patients should be informed of the possibility of incomplete relief of groin pain or other symptoms postoperatively.

In-Hospital Outcomes after Hemiarthroplasty versus Total Hip Arthroplasty for Isolated Femoral Neck Fractures

  Background:    Previous studies suggest total hip arthroplasty may have some benefits compared to hemi-arthroplasty for displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in patients more than 60 years of age. The primary research question of our study was whether in-hospital adverse events, post-operative length of stay (LOS) and mortality in patients 60 year of age or older differed between tot...

Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Girdlestone Hip following a Failed Hemiarthroplasty

INTRODUCTION Girdlestone hip arthroplasty, though described as a salvage procedure for infected hip joints, can also be considered for failed Hemiarthroplasty procedures. The functional results of such Girdlestone hip may not be satisfactory. They may require total hip replacement to improve the quality of life, which are technically challenging. Here we are reporting such a case ina 60 year ol...

Revision of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty to Hemiarthroplasty: Does it work?

Background: The projected increase in revision shoulder arthroplasty has increased interest in the outcomes of theseprocedures. Glenoid component removal and conversion to a hemiarthroplasty (HA) is an option for aseptic glenoidloosening after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA).Methods: We identified patients who had undergone revision shoulder arthroplasty over a 15-...

The Conversion Rate of Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty after a Hip Fracture to a Total Hip Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty is used in the management of fractures of the proximal femur. The dual articulation is cited as advantageous in comparison to unipolar prostheses as it decreases acetabular erosion, has a lower dislocation rates and is easier to convert to a total hip arthroplasty (THA) should the need arise. However, these claims are debatable. Our study examines the rat...
