OBJECTIVES To determine chronic opioid use pre-THA (total hip arthroplasty) and post-THA, and risk factors for persistent or new chronic opioid use post-THA. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs health claims database. PARTICIPANTS 9525 patients who had an elective unilateral THA between 1/01/2001 and 12/31/2012. PRIMARY OUTCOM...

Various complications occur during total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is common to implement trial treatments of various implants during THA. Here we report on 2 cases in which the trial femoral head fell into the pelvis and migrated during THA. The trial head was not retrieved but left inside in one case, while the other presented the opportunity for a possible retrieval. It is important to reco...

Abstract. Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is a procedure to treat periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or knee (TKA). The timing between the primary DAIR likely determinant for its successful outcome. However, optimal of chance success still remain unclear. We aimed assess risk re-revision within 1 year evaluate in THA TKA. used data fro...

There is rare literature elaborating the complex total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteopetrosis who experienced malunion from femoral neck fracture. We have summarized the failure experience of the complex THA in osteopetrosis. Learned from the resurgery in the case reported by this paper, we recommend to highlight the initial stability of the prosthesis and not to overestimate the...

Introduction Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely successful for the treatment of end-stage hip disease. It significantly improves the quality of a patient’s life by reducing both pain and functional limitation. Many studies have demonstrated excellent survivorship following THA. However, bone resorption, or osteolysis, has emerged as a major concern regarding long-term THA survival. The inci...

Este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar as propriedades físicas da madeira jovem de Eucalyptus clone 1404 e compará-las em relação à região do tronco onde foram retirados os corpos prova. Para isso, seguiu-se orientações NBR 7190 (ABNT, 1997). Os resultados indicaram um gradiente umidade alburno cerne tronco, não havendo diferença significativa densidade às duas regiões. Com estabilidade di...

291 The terminal hinge axis (THA) is the axis around which the mandible rotates when the mandible is in centric relation. The purpose of facebow is to record the patients THA and transfer it to the articulator so that it coincides with the arc of closure/hinge axis of the articulator. When the THA coincides with the hinge axis of the articulator, it is presumed that the restorations will be fre...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) or congenital hip dysplasia (cdh) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. it includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. the natural history of neglected ddh in adults is highly variable. the mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic dd...

BACKGROUND Hip arthroplasties is one of the most frequent surgical procedures in Spain and are conducted mainly in elderly subjects. We aim to analyze changes in incidence, co-morbidity profile, length of hospital stay (LOHS), costs and in-hospital mortality (IHM) of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) over an 8-year study period in Spain. METHODS We selected all surgical...

BACKGROUND Inconsistent findings of weight change following total knee (TKA) and hip (THA) arthroplasty may largely be attributable to heterogeneous cohorts and varied definitions of weight loss. This study examined weight change following TKA and THA for osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS 64 participants with hip or knee OA were recruited from orthopaedic joint arthroplasty waiting lists at a sing...
