BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an established treatment for end-stage arthritis, congenital deformity, and trauma with good long-term clinical and functional outcomes. Delayed sciatic nerve injury is a rare complication after THA that requires prompt diagnosis and management. METHODS We present a case of sciatic nerve motor and sensory deficit in a 52-year-old patient 2 years afte...

Abstract Background Persistent pain after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a real concern for the surgeon and significant cause of patient dissatisfaction; periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), aseptic loosening, instability are among common causes painful THA. However, few rare have been reported in literature; complex regional syndrome (CRPS) was to occur primary knee arthroplasties. Case pres...

Background and purpose - Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are commonly treated with some kind of arthroplasty, but evidence on whether to use hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking. HA reduces the risk of dislocation, but may lead to acetabular erosion. THA implies longer surgery and increased bleeding. THA may result in better function and health-related quality of life,...

I n t r o d u c t i o n . In this paper, we s tudy the following quest ion: How long a cycle must there be in a 3-connected 3-regular graph on n vertices? For planar graphs this question goes back to T a i t [6], who conjectured tha t any planar 3-connected 3-regular graph is hamiltonian. T u t t e [7] disproved this conjecture by finding a counterexample on 46 vertices. Using Tu t t e ' s exam...

This study was designed to evaluate trends in incidence and treatment patterns for intracapsular hip fractures and to evaluate risk factors for complications and mortality. Patients with an intracapsular hip fracture who underwent internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty, or total hip arthroplasty (THA) were identified from a 5% nationwide sample of Medicare data (1998-2007). The authors identified ...

Vermicompost has been promoted as a viable alternative container media component for the horticulture industry. The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of vermicompost at different points in the production cycle of tomato, marigold, pepper, and cornflower. The incorporation of vermicompost of pig manure origin into germination media up to 20% v/v enhanced shoot and root weight, ...

BackgroundScarce data exist on differential opioid prescribing between men and women in the pre-, peri-, postoperative phases of care among patients undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA).MethodsIn this retrospective population-based study, Truven Health MarketScan claims were used to establish differences (1) year before THA/TKA surgery, (2) amount opioids prescribed at discharge, (3...

BACKGROUND Adult patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who have advanced degenerative arthritis of the hip, have been treated with resection arthroplasty and arthrodesis. Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has also been used as one of the alternative options, there are few studies on contemporary bearings used in THA. Therefore, we evaluated the results of the contemporary ceramic-on-ceramic TH...

Este trabajo propone y evalúa una trayectoria hipotética de aprendizaje (THA) para los conceptos conjunto generador espacio generado. La THA se diseñó siguiendo el planteamiento Simon (1995), la heurística diseño modelos emergentes mecanismo reflexión sobre relación actividad-efecto. Se realizó un experimento con estudiantes universitarios evaluar si contribuyó al esperado conceptos. Para ello,...

Background The role of eHealth programs to support patients through surgical pathways, including total hip arthroplasty (THA), is rapidly growing and offers the potential improve patient engagement, self-care, outcomes. Objective aim this study compare effects an program (intervention) versus standard care for pre- postoperative education on outcomes primary THA. Methods A prospective parallel ...
