In a 10-year prospective study, 561 displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck in 546 patients were treated with the Hastings bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Within six months of their operations, 148 patients had died. In 322 hips followed up, 243 with adequate serial radiographs separated by more than one year, only 14 (5.6%) showed acetabular erosion. A group of 91 had been reviewed for be...

Introduction: The management of unstable intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients poses the challenges of difficult anatomical reduction as well as the need for prolonged immobilization and delayed weight bearing to prevent implant failure secondary to poor bone quality. Because of prolonged immobilization, complications such as deep vein thrombosis, hypostatic pneumonia, pressure sores, ...

Hip fractures are one of the most common injuries, mainly seen in elderly emergency setting. It can also be young patients like athletes or who met with a high energy trauma. The objective treatment NOF mobile population is early restoration pre-morbid walking ability and quality life.The modular prosthesis allows adjustment neck length interchangeable stems. converted to total hip replacement ...

Background: Femoral neck fractures (FNF) are a challenging orthopedic problem, and their appropriate treatment remains controversial. Nowadays, bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) is increasingly used to treat FNF. Objectives: In the current retrospective study, we investigated the outcomes of treating FNF with BHA. Methods: There were 55 patients with FNF enrolled in the current retrospective study...

From the Department of Surgery, University Health Network, Toronto, Ont. O steopetrosis refers to a group of disorders characterized by severe impairment of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Other terms that are often used for this disease are marble bone disease, which describes the solid radiographic appearance of the involved skeleton, and Albers–Schonberg disease, which refers to the mil...

A retrospective analysis was performed of eight patients with an open triradiate cartilage, who underwent resection for osteosarcoma and reconstruction of the proximal femur with a hemiarthroplasty, in order to identify changes of acetabular development. An analysis of the centre-edge angle, teardrop-to-medial prosthesis distance, superior joint space, teardrop-to-superior prosthesis distance, ...

Introduction: The surgical stabilisation of elderly proximal femur fractures has improved thanks to recent developments. In many circumstances, the internal fixation fails. Inadequate fixing fracture, fracture pattern, and poor quality bone are all contributing causes failures. Elderly patients who have Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for unstable inter trochanteric compared those undergo Dynami...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemiarthroplasty as treatment for femoral neck fractures has increased markedly in Sweden during the last decade. In this prospective observational study, we wanted to identify risk factors for reoperation in modular hemiarthroplasties and to evaluate mortality in this patient group. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed 23,509 procedures from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Re...
