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: Cementless hip prosthesis was designed to provide biologic fixation, without the use of cement. The second generation components have shown more reliable bone ingrowths and survival rates. We are reporting a midterm result of two designs of cementless prosthesis in a unique culture with different social habits and expectations.Methods: 52 primary cementless total hip arthroplasty in...

An 86-year-old woman with severe osteoarthritis and severe pain in her left hip underwent total hip arthroplasty. Intraoperatively, the 22 mm femoral head impinged on the anterior rim of the acetabulum during a reduction maneuver, and disengagement of the femoral head from the neck occurred with migration of the head over the pelvic brim along the inner table of the pelvis. This complication re...

Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate whether our institution adhered to current guidelines for the use of prophylactic antibiotics in hip and knee arthroplasty. Type of Study: Retrospective case series. Methods: Data on the administration of prophylactic antibiotics for 798 consecutive total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, and hip hemiarthroplasty procedures were record...

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...

This multicenter study evaluated survivorship, functional outcomes, complications, and radiographic outcomes for patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using a newly developed highly porous 3-dimensional titanium implant. Excellent aseptic (99.6%) and all-cause (98%) survivorship and functional outcomes were found at 3-year follow-up. This highly porous acetabular shell holds promise in ...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the nationwide incidence and risk factors for symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after major lower limb orthopedic surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database was used to retrospectively identify International Classification of Disease-10 codes for DVT and operation codes representing hip arthroplasty, kn...

BACKGROUND More and more studies conduct to compare intramedullary fixation (IMF) with arthroplasty in treating intertrochanteric hip fractures, but it remains controversy. The aim of this meta-analysis was to find out whether IMF or arthroplasty was more appropriate for treating intertrochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients. METHODS Relevant studies were searched in the electronic data...
