INTRODUCTION: Cup and stem positioning correlates each other in total hip arthroplasty (THA), and it is believed that optimal combined anteversion (CA), which is a sum of cup and stem anteversion (AV) angle, is about 40° – 60°. However, there are few studies that have compared which adjustment is more effective, changing a cup or a femoral stem to optimizing CA and increasing ROM. In this study...

The study aimed to compare the hip joint position sense (JPS) of patients undergoing conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). A total of 40 patients who underwent hip arthroplasty (20 THA and 20 HRA) for unilateral coxarthrosis in our department from January 2008 to July 2009 were reviewed. Both groups of patients were matched in age, gender, body-mass in...

Incapacitating articular sequelae in the hip joint have been described for patients with late effects of poliomyelitis. In these patients, total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been associated with a substantial rate of dislocation. This study was conducted to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes of unconstrained THA in this specific group of patients. The study included 6 patient...

Background and Aims: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common orthopedic surgery. The main focus in the research of THA is immune responses in these patients following the blood transfusion.Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the immune modulation indexes such as T cell amplification, Tcell surface markers and also production of cytokines in the patients undergoing THA surgery following bloo...

BACKGROUND The Hip and Knee Registry is an observational database comprising data on practices of US orthopedic surgeons during 1996 to 2001. We examined trends in the use of prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Data on 9,327 THA and 13,846 TKA patients were submitted between 19...

The functional outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and factors predicting outcome in the older patient with acetabular dysplasia are not well understood. We therefore retrospectively determined the functional outcome of 70 patients (87 hips) over age 40 treated with PAO in three institutions; we also determined whether preoperative factors, particularly the presence of osteoarthritis, in...

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...

Background: This retrospective cohort study examines clinical and radiological outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using uncemented extensively porous coated mono block femoral stems. Methods: Patients who were operated for THA at medical college Baroda, between January 2008 to December 2018, had least 36 months follow up included in the study. Details retrieved from hospital reco...

OBJECTIVE This retrospective study was carried out to determine the typical patterns of (18)F-FDG uptake in uncomplicated total hip arthroplasty (THA). SUBJECTS AND METHODS (18)F-FDG-PET images of 62 asymptomatic THA patients who had undergone whole body scanning were evaluated for this retrospective study. The uptake was assessed qualitatively as positive or negative in the head/neck and the...
