Comprehensive gait analysis of patients with Crowe type II and III developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after successful total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking in the literature. This study evaluated gait function in joint kinematics after unilateral and bilateral THA in patients with DDH. In addition, the effect of high cup position on gait function was investigated. A total of 16 unilate...

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the orthopedic procedures that are both economical and routinely successful. THA offers dependable benefits for patients with end-stage degenerative osteoarthritis (OA), including pain alleviation, functional recovery, overall better quality life. Methods: This was a retrospective study which conducted on who visited hospital's outpatient depar...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most reliable procedures that can provide shortterm high clinical success rates and long-term durable outcome. The surgery has been developed for more than 40 years and most of the clinical practices are standardized for the patient care. In the past, THA had been done by making a wound about 25 cm in length. Many surgeons believed that big wounds shou...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common and successful orthopedic procedures, and as their frequency continues to increase substantially, the focus on limiting perioperative complications heightens. Intraoperative normothermia is recommended to minimize additional complications, but limited evidence exists regarding the effect of hypothermia on orthopedic patie...

Early failures of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA) occur due to aseptic loosening, metal hypersensitivity reactions, pseudotumor formation, and component seizing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the timing, common modes of failure, clinical outcomes, and incidence of metal-on-metal THA revisions. A review was performed of 80 patients who underwent revision of a failed me...

OBJECTIVE To study the HRQOL in veterans with prevalent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) and compare them with age- and gender-matched US population and control veteran population without these procedures. METHODS A cohort study and cross-sectional survey on veterans obtained demographics and HRQOL with Short-Form 36 for veterans (SF-36V). Veterans were categorize...

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...

Objective. The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a surgical procedure gaining increasing popularity among surgeons in the last decade, even previously accustomed to other approaches. This study aimed analyze first cases of THAs single institution, performed by skilled postero-lateral approach. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 40 THA (38 patients) our institu...

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...

Background:  We aimed to report outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients under the year of 30.   Methods:  Thirty patients (45 hips) with various indications for THA were retrospectively reviewed radiologically and clinically and analyzed regarding survival, reasons of failure, factors associated with outcomes and postoperative complications.   Results:  Within a mean fol...
