Background: Osteonecrosis is common after taking Temgesic and Norgesic. This study intended to suggest the preferable surgical treatment in osteonecrosis patients who use these drugs. Methods: Twenty tree patients with hip osteonecrosis who were hospitalized in the Kerman hospitals after using Temgesic and Norgesic were followed for about 14 months from 2008 to 2010 (from a minimum of 2 months ...

Background and purpose - Patient-reported outcome (PRO) is recognized as an important tool for evaluating the outcome and satisfaction after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We wanted to compare patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores from patients with ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) THAs and those with metal-on-metal (MoM) THAs to scores from patients with metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THAs, and t...

A total of 483 hips treated by primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) were investigated to evaluate the surgical skill of the performing surgeon. Surgical trainees operated on 259 hips and instructors on 224 hips. The average age of the patients at the time of THA in the trainee and instructor group was 61.9 and 60.8 years old, respectively. The average follow-up duration was 5.1 years. The opera...

BACKGROUND Early postoperative mobilization is a cornerstone in fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA), but postoperative orthostatic intolerance (OI) may delay early recovery or lead to fainting, falls, and prosthesis dislocation or fracture. However, the prevalence and pathophysiology of OI has not been established after THA. This study evaluated the cardiovascular response and tissue oxygen...

subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (siffh) is characterized by acute onset hip pain without overt trauma. it appears as a low intensity band with bone marrow edema on t1-weighted mri. the most common course of treatment is protected weight bearing for a period of several weeks. total hip arthroplasty (tha) has been commonly used if the patient does not respond to the initial...

BACKGROUND Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the most common complications of total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Though the reported incidence of DVT is very high, that of proximal DVT is low and that of fatal thromboembolism is very low. Hence the issue of prophylaxis for DVT remains controversial. The incidence of DVT is based on various studies in European and American pop...

PURPOSE The purposes of the current study were to assess the early results of cementless hip arthroplasty (HA) for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with severe osteoporosis and to compare the clinical outcomes between those who underwent total HA (THA) or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). MATERIALS AND METHODS From April 2011 to May 2012, we performed 87 cementless HAs for displaced f...
