Aim: To investigate the long term results of the patients followed till the skeletal maturity and treated with Salter innominate osteotomy. Patients and Methods: 85 hips of 63 patients whom were operated by the same surgeon between the years 1985 and 1991 were evaluated retrospectively. 34 hips of 25 patients who did not have enough follow-up or did not reach skeletal maturity at their last rad...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The US Food and Drug Administration and the UK Medicines and Health Regulation Agency recommend using MRI in the evaluation of patients with large-diameter metal-on-metal (LD-MoM) hips. Such recommendations do not take into account the relevance of repeated cross-sectional imaging. We therefore investigated the natural course of pseudotumors in patients with LD-MoM hip re...

Objective. A study supported by the EULAR and the ACR being conducted to establish classification criteria for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) will include ultrasound examination of the shoulders and hips. Ultrasound (US) depicts glenohumeral joint effusion, biceps tenosynovitis, subdeltoid bursitis, hip joint synovitis, and trochanteric bursitis in PMR. These findings may aid in distinguishing PM...

We report the mid- to long-term (mean 20.3 years, 10 to 32.5) results of the Chiari pelvic osteotomy in patients with pre- to advanced stage osteoarthritis in dysplastic hips. We followed 163 Japanese patients (173 hips) with a mean age at surgery of 20 years (9 to 54). Overall, 124 hips (72%) had satisfactory results, with Harris hip scores ≥ 80. Satisfactory results were seen in 105 of 134 hi...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the clinical and radiographic results of exclusively the same type and standard sized cementless total hip prostheses applied to all dysplastic and dislocated hips. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 69 patients' (63 females, 6 males; mean age 45.6 years; range 20 to 72 years) 103 dysplastic or dislocated hips on which cementless total hip ...

The Balgrist hip socket, initially made entirely of HDPE (high molecular weight polyethylene), now made of outer titanium alloy shell that faces the bone of the acetabulum has been in clinical use for 10 years. The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the biomechanical principles that have governed this unique design and to present the clinical results that we have obtained until the e...

High-impact educational practices (HIPs) provide a deep and significant learning experience that can enhance academic attainment among students in higher education (Kuh, 2008). HIPS, differing from traditional outreach practices, are faculty use to increase student commitment success, specifically underserved populations (Valentine & Price, 2021; White, 2018). HIPs may take on different for...

Sixty-four hips in 62 patients were revised with a Mueller ring (28 hips), Ganz ring (18 hips), and Burch-Schneider cage (18 hips) under the direction of a single surgeon. A polyethylene cup was cemented into the metal support of all hips. Average follow-up was 4.6 years (range, 2.0-6.7 years). Six rings were revised because of aseptic loosening, and 5 others were radiographically loose, for a ...

BACKGROUND Multiple small drilling for core decompression is widely used to preserve the femoral head in patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). Nevertheless, the clinical outcome remains controversial. Simvastatin has been demonstrated to promote bone formation and reduce bone adsorption. The purpose of this study was to determine whether simvastatin enhanced the effect of...

We compared differences in isometric strength between older adults who have undergone elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and completed rehabilitation with a population of community-dwelling older adults who have not had THA. The study was a cross-sectional design, and 22 unilateral THA subjects and 38 community-dwelling older adults participated. THA subjects received on average 1...
