Hip Surgery in Quiescent or Active Tubercular Hip Arthritis; Is Reactivation Risk Really a Matter
Authors
Abstract:
About 15 % of all musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB) have hip involvement. Early anti-tubercular drug therapy and other conservative treatment including short-term traction and mobilization programs could prevent hip joint destruction. Reactivation of TB accounts for a significant of active TB incidence, especially in the developed countries with a low TB prevalence. The risk of TB activation for population with the latent form of disease is about 5-10%. According to the existing literature surgery in tubercular hip arthritis would be safe once sufficient debridement and precise anti tubercular chemotherapy has been done.

Obesity in total hip arthroplasty—does it really matter?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Discussion persists as to whether obesity negatively influences the outcome of hip arthroplasty. We performed a meta-analysis with the primary research question of whether obesity has a negative effect on short- and long-term outcome of total hip arthroplasty. METHODS We searched the literature and included studies comparing the outcome of hip arthroplasty in different ...

Background and purpose: Delirium is a recurrent cognitive disorder which is one of the most common neurologic diagnosis in patients who have had pelvic surgeries. This complication occurs in a short time and early diagnosis results in early management. Current study was done to investigate the frequency of delirium and identifying the factors affecting its incidence in patients with pelvic surg...
full textRevision surgery is overestimated in hip replacement
OBJECTIVES The Kaplan-Meier estimation is widely used in orthopedics to calculate the probability of revision surgery. Using data from a long-term follow-up study, we aimed to assess the amount of bias introduced by the Kaplan-Meier estimator in a competing risk setting. METHODS We describe both the Kaplan-Meier estimator and the competing risk model, and explain why the competing risk model ...

Synthetic ligaments have been used in orthopaedics for nearly a century. After a wave of popularity in the early 1980s, particularly for treating the knee, they fell into disrepute due to the frequent and often severe complications, particularly when used intra-articularly. Subsequent advances in the materials, design and manufacture of synthetic ligaments have led to a renaissance in their pop...

We describe the results of cemented total hip replacement in 23 patients (23 hips) with active tuberculous arthritis of the hip with a mean follow-up of 4.7 years (4 to 7). In two patients the diagnosis was proved by pre-operative biopsy, whereas all others were diagnosed on a clinicoradiological basis with confirmation obtained by histopathological examination and polymerase chain reaction of ...
